Item 1.  Business

         The Chestnut Partnership ("Partnership"), a Maryland general
         partnership, was organized June 3, 1988, for the purpose of developing,
         marketing, constructing, equipping, and operating a life-care
         retirement community designed for the elderly to be located in the
         Ruxton-Riderwood area near Towson, Baltimore County, Maryland, known as
         Blakehurst ("Project or Community").

         The Chestnut Real Estate Partnership ("Real Estate Partnership") a
         Maryland general partnership, was organized on April 25, 1990, to own
         the real estate of the Partnership. Real Estate Partnership has two
         general partners, each owning 50%, West Joppa Road Limited Partnership
         ("West Joppa") and Blakehurst Joint Venture ("BJV") (together the
         "partners").

         On April 25, 1990, by assignment of interest from Partnership, Real
         Estate Partnership received 98% of the partners' interest in
         Partnership. Partnership and Real Estate Partnership have entered into
         an operating and use agreement which obligates Partnership to develop,
         operate, and manage the project at Partnership's expense. Real Estate
         Partnership guarantees the performance by Partnership of all its
         obligations under the Residency Agreements.

         A life-care retirement community such as Blakehurst is intended to
         address the needs of individuals, age 62 or older, who are in good
         health but who no longer desire to reside in their own homes or
         apartments. Fully-equipped private living units are provided together
         with a variety of services, such as housekeeping, maintenance, and meal
         arrangements which ease such everyday burdens as shopping, cooking, and
         cleaning and substantially relieves senior adults of the burden of
         procuring such goods and services themselves or relying on family
         members or others to do so. In addition, residents are provided with
         skilled nursing services and limited medical services through a health
         care center that is part of the facility.

         The Community is being built in several phases. The first phase of the
         Community ("Phase I") consists of 177 residential units, a dining room,
         a clubhouse, and a health care center with 36 comprehensive care beds
         and 14 domiciliary care units. Cessation of major construction activity
         associated with Phase I occurred in December 1993. The Community
         commenced occupancy in late summer 1993 and by December 31, 1993 was
         60%. Occupancy was 75% at December 31, 1994. Occupancy increased to 87%
         by December 31, 1995, and at December 31, 1996, was 92%.

         In Phase II, an auditorium was constructed and renovation of a carriage
         house occurred in late 1995 and early 1996. The auditorium and
         renovation were essentially completed in March 1996.

         The Partnership filed with the Maryland Office on Aging, on February
         28, 1996, an Application for Preliminary Certificate of Registration
         for Phase III. The Application was approved on April 30, 1996. Phase
         III will consist of a 35 apartment unit addition, surface garages and
         under-building parking spaces, an enclosed swimming pool, an exercise
         room and additional surface parking. Construction began in August 1996
         and is scheduled to be completed in August 1997. As of December 31,
         1996, all 35 apartment units had been reserved by receipt of the
         Partnership of 10% of the ultimate Entrance Payments.

         As of December 31, 1996, the Community had 117 full-time equivalent
         employees, an increase in the year of 10 full-time equivalent
         employees, none of whom were members of a collective bargaining
         agreement.

         THE PROJECT

         The 177 Phase I residential units are in a six-story building with four
         wings. The adjacent clubhouse includes the dining room, administrative
         offices, a convenience shop, a library, a billiard room, an arts and
         crafts studio, an exercise room, a beauty/barber shop, and a
         woodworking shop. The residential units consist of a mixture of
         one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Each unit has complete kitchen
         facilities with major appliances, individually controlled air
         conditioning, and heating, carpet, and other amenities, and has been
         designed with the special physical needs of the elderly in mind. Grab
         rails are provided in all bathrooms; doors and cabinets are accessible
         to persons in wheelchairs; and each bedroom and bathroom is equipped
         with an emergency call system linked to the health care center. In
         addition, each residential unit is equipped with safety features, such
         as a sprinkler system and smoke alarm.

         The following table sets forth information with respect to the types of
         residential units available in Phase I at the community:


                                                                      Estimated

         The health care center contains 36 comprehensive care beds, consisting
         of 24 semiprivate beds and 12 private beds. This portion of the
         Community contains all equipment and services necessary to provide
         temporary to long-term nursing care. The health care center also
         contains 14 domiciliary care units, each consisting of a private studio
         apartment with bath and combination living/sleeping area. A domiciliary
         care unit resident receives assistance with day to day tasks and
         benefits from 24-hour supervision by the health care center staff.

         The health care center contains a dining room, a physical therapy room,
         an arts and crafts therapy area, and an outpatient clinic for use by
         all community residents. Health care center residents who are able will
         have ready access to other common areas of the facility, and thus to
         the Community's recreational and social life.

         The auditorium and renovated carriage house provide additional commons
         areas for the resident activities.

         Phase III will consist of 35 apartment units, 12 surface garages, 20
         under-building garage spaces, an enclosed swimming pool, an exercise
         room and additional surface parking.

         ADMISSION OF RESIDENTS

         In order to be accepted for residency in a residential unit at the
         Community, a resident must execute a residency agreement (the
         "Residency Agreement"). The Residency Agreement is a contract which
         describes the rights and obligations of the resident and the
         Partnership in connection with residency at the Community.

         In 1994, the Community began offering a limited number of a second type
         of Residency Agreement ("Traditional Plan") in addition to its original
         Residency Agreement ("Return of Capital Plan"). The criteria for
         admission to the community is identical under either plan. The plans
         are different as to economic terms and conditions, however. The
         Traditional Plan requires a lower Entrance Payment on certain units for
         which it is offered, than the Entrance Payment under the Return of
         Capital Plan. The Return of Capital Plan defines a portion of the
         Entrance Payment received from the new resident as a loan that must be
         repaid after the resident leaves the Community. The Traditional Plan,
         however, does not have a loan and limits any refund based on time at
         the Community--the longer the time in residency, the lower the refund.
         After 50 months the Traditional Plan holder does not receive a refund.

         In order to be accepted for residency in the Community, a resident must
         be at least 62 years old or the spouse of a resident who is at least 62
         years old, capable of independent living, be free of communicable
         disease and have assets and income sufficient to pay the entrance
         payments, the monthly fees and other ordinary and customary living
         expenses.

         The Residency Agreement requires at least one resident of each
         residential unit who is at least 65 years old to be entitled to
         Medicare Part A benefits, to be enrolled in the Medicare Part B program
         at the time of initial occupancy, and to maintain coverage under
         Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, and one health insurance policy
         acceptable to the Partnership to supplement Medicare coverage while a
         resident of the community. If there is a second resident in any
         residential unit, the Residency Agreement also requires that such
         resident must be qualified and enroll for the above Medicare benefits
         if he or she has reached the age entitling him or her to such benefits.
         If the required health insurance coverage is not maintained by the
         resident, the Partnership may revoke the resident's right to reside at
         the Community and cancel the Residency Agreement.

         Entrance Payments (Return of Capital Plan only). The payments which
         must be made by all Community residents as condition to their initial
         admission to the Community (the "Entrance Payments") consist of the
         Admission Fee (as hereinafter defined) and the Residency Loan (as
         hereinafter defined).

         Entrance Payments (Traditional Plan only). The payments which must be
         made by all Community residents as condition to their initial admission
         to the Community (the "Entrance Payments") consist of the Admission Fee
         (as hereinafter defined) and the Entrance Costs (as hereinafter
         defined).

         Admission Fee (Return of Capital Plan and Traditional Plan). Upon
         execution of a Residency Agreement, the prospective resident must pay
         an admission fee based upon the unit the resident wishes to occupy
         (such amount, the "Admission Fee"). The Admission Fee increases for a
         second resident of the unit. The Admission Fee is deposited in an
         escrow account and, subject to the resident's rights to a refund prior
         to occupancy, will be released to the Partnership as soon as (i)
         Project construction is complete, (ii) a final certificate of
         registration has been obtained from the Maryland Office on Aging, (iii)
         a certificate of occupancy has been received from the appropriate local
         authorities, and (iv) the appropriate licenses or certificates have
         been issued by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene or
         by the Maryland Office on Aging.

         Residency Loan (Return of Capital Plan only). Upon the earlier of (i)
         occupancy of his or her unit or (ii) 15 days after the date the unit is
         available for occupancy, the resident must loan to the Partnership an
         amount based on the type of unit being occupied (the "Residency Loan").
         The Residency Loan will be evidenced by a written loan agreement, and
         the repayment in full of the principal of the loan will be fully and
         unconditionally guaranteed by the Real Estate Partnership. The Real
         Estate Partnership's guaranty of the Residency Loans are collateralized
         by a mortgage on the Community, subordinate to the lien securing the
         1992 Series I and Series II Bonds.

         Upon cancellation of the Residency Agreement, the resident's Residency
         Loan will be repaid upon the earlier of (i) the date that a successor
         resident occupies the unit or (ii) the date that is 12 months after the
         resident's death or cancellation of the Residency Agreement.

         Entrance Costs (Traditional Plan only). Upon the earlier of (i)
         occupancy of the unit or (ii) 15 days after the date the unit is
         available for occupancy, the resident must pay the balance of the
         entrance fee ("Entrance Costs") to the Partnership.

         Upon termination of the Residency Agreement, the resident's Entrance
         Costs will be refunded less the greater of (i) the Admission Fee(s)
         paid by the resident or (ii) an amount equal to two percent of the
         Entrance Costs per month of occupancy by the resident to a maximum of
         the Entrance Costs. The refunded portion of the Entrance Costs, if any,
         will be repaid within 30 days of the date the apartment is reoccupied,
         but in no event later than 12 months following the date of termination
         of residency.

         The following table sets forth as of December 31, 1996, information
         with respect to the ranges of total Entrance Payments for the Return of
         Capital Plan and Traditional Plan for the types of residential units
         offered by the Community:

         (1)      The Admission Fee is increased by $8,500 for a second
                  resident.

         (2)      90% of the Entrance Payment represents the Residency Loan
                  (Return of Capital Plan) or Entrance Costs (Traditional Plan);
                  10% represents the Admission Fee.


         Monthly Service Fee (Return of Capital Plan and Traditional Plan)

         Each month, residents reimburse the Community for their share of the
         operating cash needs of the Community.

         A resident's share of the total cash needs depends, among other things,
         on the type of unit, the presence of a second occupant, and the
         projected occupancy rate of the Community for the following year. The
         total cash needs include the operating costs, capital repair and
         replacement, and debt service of the Community.

         The following tables set forth as of December 31, 1996 and January 1,
         1997, information with respect to the ranges of total Monthly Service
         Fees for the Return of Capital Plan and Traditional Plan for the types
         of units at the Community:

         Capital Reserve Fee (Return of Capital Plan and Traditional Plan). In
         addition to the Entrance Payments and Monthly Fees, at the time a
         resident enters into the Residency Loan (Return of Capital Plan) or
         pays the Entrance Costs (Traditional Plan) the resident is required to
         pay a one-time capital reserve fee (the "Capital Reserve Fee") to the
         Partnership in an amount equal to the then-current Monthly Service Fee.
         The Capital Reserve Fee is not refundable, and the Partnership is
         required to use the Capital Reserve Fee for purposes related to the
         Community.

         THE MARKET AREA

         The Community is located in the Ruxton-Riderwood neighborhood west of
         Towson, in southern Baltimore County, Maryland. Towson is located
         approximately ten miles north of the center of Baltimore City, Maryland
         and is largely suburban in character. The Community is located
         approximately one mile south of Interstate 695 (the Baltimore Beltway)
         and is in a primarily residential area, with a predominately commercial
         area located approximately one mile to the east.

         Under the Development Agreement, Life Care Services Corporation (LCS)
         formulated and implemented an occupancy development program for the
         Community. LCS is an Iowa corporation based in Des Moines, Iowa
         specializing since 1961 (when it was a division of another company) in
         the development of continuing care retirement communities (CCRC's). LCS
         is affiliated with the Partnership through common ownership.

         The primary market area for the Community is the surrounding local
         area, including Towson, Ruxton, Lutherville, Timonium and northern
         Baltimore City. Residents at Blakehurst have primarily come from the 16
         zip code areas that are within approximately 5 to 10 miles of the
         Project. Of the 189 residents that have moved into Blakehurst since the
         community opened in August 1993, 147 (78%) have come from those zip
         codes.

         The secondary market for the Project is comprised of the rest of the
         Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan area and the Washington D.C. area.
         Eleven (approximately 6%) of the residents that had moved into
         Blakehurst as of December 31, 1996 originated from this secondary
         market.

         Consistent with December 1995, at December 1996 approximately 16%, (up
         from 13% at December 31, 1994 and 8% at December 31, 1993) of the
         residents originated in markets beyond the primary and secondary
         markets.

         Residents typically sell their homes prior to moving into a retirement
         community, and may use all or part of the proceeds to pay the entrance
         fee. Of the 16 zip codes that make up the Project's primary market, 10
         had median home values of $150,000 and above in 1996.

         In order to qualify for residence at the Residential Center,
         prospective residents generally must be at least 62 years of age, be
         able to care for themselves at the time of occupancy and demonstrate
         sufficient financial resources to pay the initial entrance payments as
         well as the required fees, particularly the Monthly Service Fee.

         The monthly service fees established for prospective single residents
         during 1996 ranged from $21,768 to $33,588 per residential unit on an
         annualized basis. The approximate weighted average first-person Monthly
         Service Fee was $26,753 on an annualized basis. To provide for payment
         of Monthly Service Fees and other expenses associated with independent
         living, the Partnership would generally require prospective residents
         to have incomes of two times the annualized Monthly Service Fee. Annual
         income is defined by Management as total income received in a calendar
         year by all household members. Therefore, in 1996 Management would
         generally require residents to demonstrate annual incomes from
         approximately $43,536 to $67,176 (approximately $53,506 weighted
         average). Management therefore believes the target age- and
         income-eligible market consists of those primary market area households
         over 65 years old with annual incomes of $35,000 and above.

         The income- and age-qualified market for the primary market area is
         projected by an independent market research firm to increase
         approximately 10.6% over the next 5-year period.

         Utilizing the above defined potential market available for the
         Residential Center, both on the basis of 65 years of age and older and
         75 years of age and older, the required market penetration rate for the
         Residential Center to achieve full occupancy is estimated as follows:

</TABLE>

         (a)      Facilities include Blakehurst, Broadmead, Edenwald, Glen
                  Meadows , North Oaks, and Oak Crest. Based on buyer origins to
                  date, it is expected that about 80% of the Blakehurst units
                  will be filled by households from the primary market area. For
                  this calculation, it is assumed that 70% of the competitor's
                  units will be filled from households from the same primary
                  market area. As discussed in the section "Competition," Oak
                  Crest Village added 789 units in 1996. Also, Blakehurst
                  commenced sales of 35 Phase II apartments in 1996. The Oak
                  Crest Village and Blakehurst units represent the major change
                  in 1996 from 1995 experience, and is why the required market
                  saturation increased significantly.

         (b)      Income qualified households for Blakehurst residency are those
                  with annual incomes of $35,000 and over. Competitors
                  (especially Glen Meadows) have lower fees and presumably also
                  draw from households earning less than $35,000; therefore,
                  this estimate of the qualified households is considered to be
                  lower than the number actually eligible for the units
                  available.

         (c)      Required Market Saturation measures the percentage of the age
                  and income qualified households that will be living in the
                  Project or a competitive facility when all have been fully
                  occupied. Although the market saturation rate for the age 75
                  and older group indicates that marketing opportunities require
                  moderate success rates, management believes that, based on the
                  estimates of required Project penetration of 1.2% to 3.9% and
                  on the re-marketing experience at similar facilities with
                  which LCS has been involved, the Project will be able to
                  market its remaining unoccupied units.

         COMPETITION

         Competitive Facilities. Management believes that certain other
         facilities currently operating or marketing residential units represent
         competition for the Project. In general, facilities considered to be
         competitors:

                  1)       offer independent retirement living with services
                           including dining, flat laundry, housekeeping,
                           utilities, activities, and other services.

                  2)       offer nursing care in an on-site nursing center, and

                  3)       are located within the Project's primary market area.

         Those competitive facilities identified are:

                  *        Broadmead
                  *        Edenwald
                  *        Glen Meadows (f/k/a Notchcliff)
                  *        North Oaks
                  *        Oak Crest


         Broadmead. Broadmead opened in 1979, was developed and is owned and
         managed by the Friends Lifetime Care Center of Baltimore. The project
         consists of 269 units comprised of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom
         living units, predominantly single-level/garden apartments, as well as
         a 95-bed health care center, situated on approximately 80 acres.
         Residential units were 97% occupied and health care center beds 90%
         occupied as of December 31, 1996. Broadmead is located in Cockeysville,
         seven miles north of the Project.

         Entrance fees range from $64,500 to $165,500, with a $20,000
         second-person fee, and are refundable on a decreasing scale during the
         first four years of occupancy. Monthly service fees range from $1,604
         to $2,566, with a $962 second-person fee. Residents are entitled to
         receive up to three meals per day, weekly linen and housekeeping
         services, utilities, and scheduled transportation. Residents may also
         receive unlimited nursing care in the on-site health care center should
         the need arise. Management believes its superior location and service
         package and the associated higher entrance fees differentiate the
         Project from Broadmead in the marketplace.

         Edenwald. Edenwald is located in Towson approximately 1.5 miles
         northeast of Blakehurst. Edenwald is an 18-story high-rise community
         situated on a 4.5-acre site, and includes 241 independent living units
         which were approximately 95% occupied as of December 1996. The 115-bed
         health care center was 98% occupied as of December 1996. The community
         opened in 1985, and was developed and is owned and managed by the
         General German Aged People's Home of Baltimore.

         Residents of Edenwald pay both an entrance fee and a monthly fee.
         Entrance fees currently range from $59,000 to $192,000, with a $15,000
         second-person fee, and the refund of those fees declines over time.
         Monthly service fees range from $1,287 to $2,402, with a $687
         second-person fee. Residents receive such services as one meal per day,
         bi-weekly housekeeping, flat laundry, scheduled transportation, and
         utilities, as well as unlimited nursing care in the on-site
         comprehensive care unit nursing center. In-house facilities include a
         bank, a store, and a beauty/barber shop. Management believes its
         superior location and service package and the associated higher
         entrance fees differentiate the Project from Edenwald in the
         marketplace.

         Glen Meadows (f/k/a Notchcliff). Glen Meadows is located in a rural
         setting on a 483-acre site in Glen Arm, approximately 10 miles
         northeast of the Project. The prior project owner, facing financial
         difficulties resulting from unsuccessful marketing, filed for
         reorganization under Chapter 11 in 1988. In 1990 Presbyterian Senior
         Services, Inc. purchased Glen Meadows and appointed EMA Management,
         Inc. to manage the operations. The 214 independent living units were
         95% occupied, and the 31-bed health center was 99% occupied as of
         December 1996.

         Entrance fees at December 31, 1996 range from $44,100 to $171,300 and
         are structured with a 100% refund upon resale of the unit. Monthly
         service fees ranged from $960 to $1,395, with a $400 second-person fee.
         Included are three meals per day, weekly housekeeping and flat laundry
         service, utilities, scheduled transportation, and on-site nursing care.

         Management does not believe the current marketing efforts of Glen
         Meadows have significantly affected the marketing efforts of the
         Project because of difficulties Glen Meadows has had marketing units
         while experiencing financial instability and reorganization. Management
         also believes its superior location and service package and the
         associated higher entrance fees differentiate the Project from Glen
         Meadows in the marketplace.

         North Oaks. North Oaks is a life-care retirement community located on a
         10-acre site in Owings Mills, approximately seven miles southwest of
         the Project. North Oaks, which was completed in May 1991, consists of
         183 one- and two- bedroom independent living units and a 46-bed health
         care center. Occupancy, which began December 26, 1990, was 95% in the
         independent living units and 92% in the health care center as of
         December 1996. North Oaks is owned by affiliates of the Partnership,
         with LCS providing development and management services.

         Entrance payments for the independent living units under a 90%
         refundable plan range from $97,000 to $245,000. In 1994, North Oaks
         added a traditional declining refund entrance fee plan. Under that
         plan, entrance fees range from $65,000 to $164,200. Under both plans,
         there is a $5,000 second person entrance fee. Monthly service fees
         range from $1,601 to $2,962 with a $734 second-person fee. Residents
         receive such services as one meal per day, utilities, weekly
         housekeeping and linen service, scheduled transportation, and planned
         activities, as well as certain nursing care in the on-site
         comprehensive and domiciliary care nursing center. In-house facilities
         include a bank, a convenience store, and beauty/barber shops.
         Management believes that while the service package at North Oaks is
         essentially the same as at the Project, the unique location and
         associated higher entrance fees differentiate the Project from North
         Oaks in the marketplace.

         Oak Crest Village. Oak Crest Village is a project under construction on
         85 acres in Parkville, approximately 7 miles east of Blakehurst. The
         project opened March 1, 1995, and as of December 31,1996, there were
         1,169 independent living apartments built which were 75% occupied. At
         completion, the project will include 1,525 independent living
         apartments. Oak Crest has added 789 apartments since December 31, 1995,
         and will add the remaining 356 apartments during 1997. Senior Campus
         Living, Inc., who also developed Charlestown in Catonsville, is the
         developer of Oak Crest Village.

         Entrance fees at the project range from $67,000 to $295,000. Monthly
         service fees range from $813 to $1,492, with a $401 second-person fee.


         Oak Crest Village opened a 112 unit assisted living facility in January
         of 1996. A 240 bed nursing care facility is planned for the campus with
         120 beds opening around June 1997, and another 120 beds opening in
         1998.

         In addition to the competitive facilities discussed above, Management
         has identified four other facilities which, while comparable in some
         respects to the Project, are not considered primary competitors. These
         comparable facilities are:

                  *        Brightwood
                  *        Charlestown Retirement Home
                  *        Fairhaven
                  *        Roland Park Place

         Brightwood. Brightwood is a condominium project targeted to retirees
         which opened in January 1991. It is located on a 60-acre site in
         Lutherville, approximately two miles west of Blakehurst. Brightwood
         consists of 80 independent living units. As of December 1996, 96% of
         the units were occupied.

         Maryland National Bank assumed ownership of Brightwood in November 1992
         as part of a debt restructuring with developer, MacKenzie and
         Associates, Inc. The developer and Cooperative Retirement Services of
         America are co-managing the project.

         Brightwood does not have an on-site health care center; however, it
         does have an agreement with the nearby unaffiliated Meridian Nursing
         Center - Brightwood to admit Brightwood residents on a priority basis.
         It is because of the condominium ownership structure and the lack of
         integrated health care that Brightwood is not considered to be a
         competitor of Blakehurst.

         Condominium prices range from $225,000 to $680,000. Monthly service
         fees range from $1,775 to $1,905, with a $645 second-person fee.
         Services include evening meal, weekly housekeeping and flat laundry
         service and scheduled transportation.

         Charlestown Retirement Home. Charlestown Retirement Home is located
         approximately 12 miles southwest of Blakehurst in Catonsville. It
         contains 1,614 independent living units situated on a 120-acre site,
         and is owned and operated by a non-profit corporation, Charlestown
         Community, Inc. The community, which opened in 1984, was developed from
         a former Catholic college and seminary. The apartments were 98%
         occupied as of December 1996. The on-site health care center, which
         consists of 270 comprehensive care beds and a 132-unit assisted living
         center, was 97% occupied as of December 1996.

         Entrance fees as of December 1996 ranged from $48,000 to $248,000 and
         are fully refundable. Monthly service fees range from $806 to $1,283,
         with a $400 second-person fee. Residents receive one meal per day,
         utilities, and scheduled transportation. Nursing care is provided on a
         fee-for-service basis, with a guarantee to residents of access to the
         nursing center. Charlestown Retirement Home is not located within the
         Project's primary market area, and, therefore, is not considered to be
         a competitor of Blakehurst.

         Fairhaven. Fairhaven is located in Sykesville, approximately 20 miles
         west of the Project. It was developed and is owned by Episcopal
         Ministries to the Aging, Inc. and is managed by a subsidiary, EMA
         Management, Inc. (which also manages Glen Meadows as discussed above).
         Fairhaven consists of 275 independent living units situated on 300
         acres, and was 98% occupied as of December 1996. The on-site health
         center includes 101 nursing care beds and a 125 beds for Alzheimer's
         patients, and was 100% occupied as of December 1996.

         As of December 1996, entrance fees under a 50-month declining refund
         plan range from $52,000 to $189,000, with a $15,000 second-person fee.
         In January 1993, Fairhaven added a 90% refundable entrance fee plan
         with entrance fees of $85,800 to $311,850 and a second-person fee of
         $24,750. Monthly service fees under both plans range from $1,490 to
         $2,620, with a second-person fee of $1,175. Services include three
         meals per day, weekly housekeeping and flat laundry, utilities, and
         scheduled transportation. Unlimited nursing care is provided to
         Fairhaven residents. Because Fairhaven is not located within the
         Project's primary market area, it is not considered to be a competitor
         of Blakehurst.

         Roland Park Place. Located approximately six miles south of the Project
         is Roland Park Place. This 235-unit community, situated on 9 acres, was
         developed and is jointly operated by the First English Evangelical
         Lutheran Church, inc., the Lutheran Home and Hospital Association and
         St. Luke Lutheran Health Care, Inc. The community offers both one- and
         two-bedroom apartments, and occupancy stood at approximately 87% as of
         December 1996. There are 71 beds in the on-site health care center
         which were 83% occupied as of December 1996.

         Entrance fees range from $98,500 to $323,300, with a $15,000
         second-person fee, refundable on a declining basis during the first
         five years of occupancy. Monthly service fees range from $1,911 to
         $3,501 with a $643 second-person fee. Services include one meal per
         day, weekly flat laundry, bi-weekly apartment cleaning, utilities and
         scheduled transportation, as well as unlimited access to the on-site
         nursing center. Because Roland Park Place is not located within the
         Project's primary market area, it is not considered to be a competitor
         of Blakehurst.

         REGULATORY APPROVALS

         Certificate of Need and Licensure. In connection with the operation of
         the comprehensive care beds in the health care center, the Partnership
         has received an exemption from the certificate of need requirements
         from the State of Maryland Health Resources Planning Commission
         ("HRPC"). HRPC has granted such exemption subject to the restrictions
         that (i) the 36 comprehensive care beds will be available only for
         occupancy by residents and other subscribers and (ii) the number of
         comprehensive care beds may not exceed 20% of the number of residential
         units in the Community.

         Health Care Center Licensure. The Partnership received initial
         licensure of the comprehensive and domiciliary care beds in August,
         1993 and annually renews such license. Operation of comprehensive care
         beds requires licensure by the state of Maryland Department of Health
         and Mental Hygiene, Office of Licensing and Certification Program
         ("OLC") pursuant to Sections 19-318 through 19-326 of the
         Health-General Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

         Maryland Office on Aging. In 1975, the Maryland General Assembly
         created the Office on Aging, by enacting the Office on Aging Statute
         (currently codified in Article 70B of the Annotated Code of Maryland
         1987 Cumulative Supplement). The Office on Aging was created as part of
         the Executive Department and consists of a Director on Aging and the
         Commission on Aging.

         By the terms of the Office on Aging Statute, no provider of continuing
         care, including the Partnership, is permitted to enter into or renew a
         contract for continuing care in the state of Maryland without a
         Certificate of Registration from the Office on Aging, which certificate
         must be renewed annually within 120 days after the end of the
         provider's fiscal year. The Partnership is operating under a
         Certificate of Registration. The Partnership plans to renew the
         Certificate of Registration prior to expiration.

         To the best of the Partnership's knowledge, licenses and permits
         discussed above represent all authorizations required under Maryland
         law to operate the Project. Additional licensing and permit
         requirements, such as annual health department inspections and other
         matters, also apply to the operation of the Project. The Partnership
         believes that all necessary permits, licenses, and material authority
         has been obtained.


Item 2.  Properties

         Pursuant to the terms of the June 8, 1988 Real Property Contract, as
         amended, entered into between the Partnership and The Mission Helpers
         of the Sacred Heart, an order of Catholic Nuns ("Seller"), the
         Partnership purchased the Property on which the community is being
         constructed. The Property consists of a parcel of approximately 40.5
         acres out of a total of 45 acres owned by the Seller. See "Business The
         Project" for a more complete description of the Project.

         The Real Estate Partnership was formed for the express purpose of
         holding title to the Property. In accordance with the terms of the
         Operating and Use Agreement, the Partnership purchased the Property in
         the name of the Real Estate Partnership contemporaneous with the
         closing on the Construction Loan and the sale of 1992 Series I Bonds,
         utilizing a portion of the proceeds therefrom. See "Certain
         Relationships and Related Transactions - Partnership - Real Estate
         Partnership."


Item 3.  Legal Proceeding

         There are no legal proceedings involving the Partnership or Real Estate
Partnership.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

         No matter has been submitted to a vote of the Bondholders.


                                     PART II


Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Bondholder Matters

(a)      Market Information

         There is no established public trading market for the Bonds.

(b)      Holder

         There are 936 Series I Bondholders as of December 31, 1996, and 653
         Series II Bondholders as of December 31, 1996.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

The historical financial data set forth below present the combined financial
data of the Partnership and the Real Estate Partnership for the most recent five
year period. The Partnership was formed June 3, 1988 and the Real Estate
Partnership was formed April 25, 1990. The Project was initially occupied in

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of The Chestnut Partnership and
         the Chestnut Real Estate Partnership

Overall Financial Condition. The Community's Phase I consists of 177 residential
apartment units and a 50-bed health center. As of December 31, 1996, 171 of the
residential units (97%) had been reserved or occupied.

During 1996, emphasis was placed on move-ins and reselling and closing 6 of the
9 units in Phase I that became available due to attrition, and closing 3 units
for the first time. At December 31, 1996, there are 8 units sold pending
closing.

During 1996 the working capital funds of $1,350,000, as required by the Bond
documents, were established and the Phase II activities completed. Phase II
consisted of an auditorium addition and a renovation of a carriage house, both
of which provide more common areas. The Phase II construction cost approximately
$350,000 and was funded by the Partners through capital contributions in 1995.

Distributions to the partners were made from the proceeds of closing the
remaining previously unsold units and from net attrition income.

Because Phase I is 97% sold, the Partnership has begun the development of Phase
III - a 35 unit expansion. Regulatory approval was obtained in April 1996 and
reservations in the form of refundable deposits of Admission Fees were accepted.
As of December 31, 1996, all 35 units were reserved.

The overall impact of Phase III will be to substantially increase the net
operating revenue without substantially increasing the fixed operating costs.

Results of Operations. Occupancy began in late August, 1993. Occupancy increased
from 133 units (75%) at December 31, 1994, to 154 units (87%) at December 31,
1995, to 163 units (92%) at December 31, 1996.

In 1996 total revenue decreased marginally (-1.4%), even though apartment
service fees revenue increased almost 19%. The apartment service fee revenue
increased because of a fee increase of 5% effective January 1, 1996, and because
the average number of units occupied increased approximately 11%. Health Center
revenues increased in 1996 by 10% over 1995 Health Center revenues because of an
increase in average occupancy of approximately 5% and a rate increase of
approximately 6% effective July 1, 1996. The amortization of non-refundable
admission fees declined by enough to offset all of these increases. The
amortization declined due to fewer move-ins in 1996 when total occupancy
increased 5% compared to a total increase of 12% in 1995.

Total operating expense declined 4% in 1996 compared to 1995 because of a
decrease in development fee amortization as fewer move-ins occurred (it is
amortized pro rata with the amortization of non refundable admission fees).
There was a decrease in general and administrative expenses due to expense
control activities. Operating expenses for resident care, dietary, plant and
housekeeping increased as occupancy increased.

Interest expense declined in 1996 because all Advances Payable to Partners
received prior to December 31, 1994, had been repaid by December 31, 1995. New
advances of $1,600,000 were reserved as described below, in conjunction with
Phase III construction.

As in 1994, meaningful comparisons of 1995 to 1994 operating revenues and
expenses relating to resident activities cannot be made. In 1994, operating
revenues and expenses relating to resident activities were capitalized for 7.5
months. Consequently, comparing a 12 month period (1995) to a 4.5 month period
(1994) cannot be meaningful.

However, certain comparisons may be made as between 1995 and 1994:

         *   In 1995, Admission Fees revenue was slightly lower than in 1994 as
             the community moved from 75% occupancy to 88% occupancy at the end
             of 1995 -- a 13% increase -- compared to a 15% increase in
             occupancy in 1994.

         *   Increased occupancy and a 5% monthly service fee increase in
             January 1995 also increased the Apartment revenues.

         *   Health Center revenues increased in 1995 due to increased
             reimbursement from third party payers. 

         *   Revenue from Capital Reserve Fees also declined as fewer
             residents moved in during 1995, compared to 1994.

         *   Increases in expenses, when compared to increased occupancy
             explains the increases in Operating expenses, except for General
             and Administrative expenses and Plant expenses. Plant expenses
             increased as the community assumed full responsibility for the
             grounds and structures, in the absence of usual one year warranties
             provided by the contractors. General and Administrative expenses
             increased as more marketing and sales expenditures were made to
             complete the initial sales of all units within a reasonably short
             period of time.

         *   Because the Development Fee expense is amortized pro rata with the
             amortization of the non-refundable Admission Fees, the decrease in
             Development Fee expense declined as the Admission Fee revenue
             declined

Liquidity and Capital Resources. As of May 28, 1992, significant financing
activities were concluded. Construction financing and long-term financing both
were achieved on that date. Construction financing in the amount of $20,000,000
from a group of lenders was achieved and the Partnership raised $14,000,000
(before deduction of costs of underwriting) through long-term financing.

The Partnership in May 1992 issued two types of taxable bonds. One type was
issued in an underwritten public offering of $8,000,000 principal amount of
Blakehurst 10 Year Put Option Mortgage Bonds 1992, Series I. Also in May 1992,
the Partnership issued in a private transaction to affiliates of the
Partnership, a total of $6,000,000 principal amount of Blakehurst Retirement
Community Put Option Bonds, Private Placement Series on terms substantially
identical to the public offering except that the Private Placement Bonds
provided for redemption of such bonds from the proceeds of the sale of 1992
Series II Bonds. The affiliates of the Partnership re-sold the 1992 Series II
Bonds in the amount of $6,000,000 in August 1992.

During 1993, the construction loan was borrowed and repaid.

Scheduled repayment of Series I and II Bonds began in 1995, during which $65,000
of principal was paid to the bondholders; in 1996, $130,000 of principal was
paid.

Also during 1995, Advances Payable to Partners in the amount of $6,872,377 were
paid. These advances had been made in conjunction with the original financing in
1992. During 1994, $5,918,840 of Advances Payable to Partners had been repaid.
As of December 31, 1995, there were no Advances Payable to Partners.

All of the repayment of the construction loan and Advances Payable to Partners
was ultimately funded by Residency Loans. The majority of the capital
expenditures are therefore made from Residency Loans.

During 1995, the Partners made capital contributions of $349,978 towards the
construction of the auditorium and renovation of a carriage house (Phase II),
which is complete.

Phase III expansion, described under Item 1, is estimated to cost approximately
$10,600,000, which includes the construction management fee to Mullan and
development fee to LCSD. To fund the expansion, the Partners expect to obtain
permanent parity debt financing of $1,900,000 and resident loans and fees of
$8,700,000. Construction period financing will be provided by the Partners.

During 1996 the Partnership distributed $1,600,000 to the Partners after working
capital reserve requirements of $1,350,000 as defined in the bond documents were
established. The Partners advanced $1,600,000 to the Partnerships in 1996 in
connection with Phase III.

As of December 31, 1996, all 35 units in the Phase III expansion had been
reserved by receipt of a deposit. Occupancy is expected to begin in late summer
1997.

During late 1994, a new residency agreement was introduced, as described above
Traditional Plan. The economic impact is to reduce the total initial loans from
residents. The Partners believe, however, the receipt of monthly service fees
due to more rapid increase in occupancy, is better for the community as a whole.
The Partners are therefore deferring receipt of the optimum proceeds until the
units are resold under a Return of Capital Residency agreement.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 1996 improved approximately
$775,000. Major contributing factors to this were:

         *    Better operating results due to increased occupancy and control of expenses                 $545,000

         *    Decreased amortization of non refundable fees and development fees                           509,000

         *    Increased operating assets and liabilities                                                   349,000

         *    Decrease in Admission fees due to fewer move-ins                                            (638,000)
</TABLE>

Net cash provided by operating activities in 1995 was essentially the same as in
1994. Admission Fees received increased substantially due to move ins to larger
apartments. This increase was offset by the increased interest cost because
interest cost was capitalized during the initial 7.5 months of 1994, and
expensed for all of 1995.

Net cash used in investing activities in 1996 increased significantly because of
these major contributing factors:

<TABLE>

<S>                                                                                                       <C>
         *    Receipt of Admission Fees from perspective Phase III residents, placed in escrow            $893,000

         *    Net cash balance increase from Partners of Phase III construction funds                      556,000

         *    Additions to operating property greater than in 1995, essentially because of              (2,069,000)
              Phase III construction

         *    Increase in health center reserves due to increased permanent assignments                    682,000

         *    Increase in construction costs payable                                                     1,650,000
</TABLE>

In 1995, the substantial decrease in net cash used in investing activities
relates primarily to much lower capital expenditures in 1995 compared to 1994.
In 1995, the auditorium addition was the major capital expenditure, and was
funded by the Partners.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased approximately $3,000,000 in
1996 compared to 1995 because of the repayment of all Partner Advances in 1995
($6,872,000) and the decline in net new resident loans of $3,300,000.

Because occupancy of Phase I units continues to now exceed 90%, the introduction
of new residency agreement types in 1994, the complete pre-sale of Phase III,
the resident financing, and the long-term financing described above, the
Partnership believes adequate capital resources are available.

The long-term success of the project is, however, ultimately dependent upon
marketing of substantially all available units and health center beds,
maintaining adequate levels of occupancy, and operating the Project efficiently.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Partnership - Real Estate Partnership. The Partnership was originally organized
June 3, 1988 and had two general partners, Chestnut Village and West Joppa, each
holding a 50% interest. The Real Estate Partnership was organized April 25, 1990
and had two general partners, Chestnut Village and West Joppa, each holding a
50% interest. On April 25, 1990, each of Chestnut Village and West Joppa
transferred and assigned 98% of their respective partnership to the Real Estate
Partnership. The transfer resulted in the Partnership being comprised of three
general partners: the Real Estate Partnership with a 98% interest, and Chestnut
Village and West Joppa, each with a 1% interest. On December 16, 1991, Chestnut
Village transferred its interests in the Partnership and the Real Estate
Partnership to BJV.

The Partnership and the Real Estate Partnership entered into an operating and
use agreement (the "Operating and Use Agreement"), which obligates the
Partnership to purchase the Property in the name of the Real Estate Partnership
and to develop, operate and manage the Project at the Partnership's expense.
Under the Operating and Use Agreement, the Partnership pays to the Real Estate
Partnership an annual use fee equal to the Real Estate Partnership's projected
taxable loss for federal income tax purposes for each year, to the extent
required for federal income tax purposes. As of this date, the Partnership
anticipates that no annual use fee will be required to be paid. During the term
of the Operating and Use Agreement, the Partnership has the right to receive and
retain all revenues from the Project. The Operating and Use Agreement will
terminate upon the dissolution, liquidation, or other termination of the
Partnership or upon acceleration by the Trustee of the principal of and accrued
interest on the 1992 Series I Bonds following an Event of Default under the
Indenture.

Under the Operating and Use Agreement, the Real Estate Partnership has
guaranteed the performance by the Partnership of its obligations under the
Residency Agreements. The covenants, agreements and, undertakings contained in
the Operating and Use Agreement are for the express benefit of, and are
expressly enforceable by, residents of the Community.

Construction Manager. The Weitz Company, Inc. ("Weitz Construction"), until
March 1, 1995 a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Weitz Corporation, was the
construction manager for the Project. Weitz Construction was affiliated until
March 1, 1995 with Continuing Care Communities of America, Inc. (now renamed
Home Health Care Services Corporation), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Weitz Corporation (now renamed LCS Holdings, Inc.), which in turn owns 100% of
Chestnut Village, Inc., one of the general partners of BJV, which is a general
partner of both the Partnership and the Real Estate Partnership. The
construction of Phase I was completed in early 1994. There are no contractual
matters yet to be resolved relating to this construction management agreement.

Mullan Contracting Company, an affiliate of Rosedale Care, Inc., is the
construction manager for Phase II, now completed, and Phase III, now underway.
Mullan Contracting is to receive a fixed fee of $371,571 of which $94,794 was
earned in 1996, and $25,001 in 1995, plus reimbursement of certain costs. The
contract contains a guaranteed maximum cost and general conditions guarantee,
together with a provision for sharing any savings.

Developer. The Partnership has retained LCS to assist it in developing the
Project. Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the Partnership agreed to
pay LCS a Phase I development fee (the "Development Fee") consisting of 4.75% of
the total Project costs, excluding certain costs, as budgeted prior to
construction and approved by LCS and the Partnership. Additionally, the
Partnership has agreed to reimburse LCS for certain out-of-pocket costs incurred
by LCS in the performance of the Development Agreement. Such Development
Agreement was completely paid in 1993.

In December, 1994, the Development Agreement was amended (Amendment #1) to
include terms relative to Phase II. The Amendment #1 provided that Rosedale
Care, Inc. and Continental Care, Inc., partners of West Joppa, would jointly and
severally, with LCS, be responsible for providing marketing, interior
decoration, and be primarily responsible for community relations. Further, Phase
II development fees were to be paid one-half to LCS and one quarter each to
Rosedale Care, Inc. and Continental Care, Inc.

In October 1996 the Development Agreement was further amended (Amendment #2)
with regard to Phase III. The Amendment #2 provides that Life Care Services
Development Corporation, a subsidiary of LCS, shall provide development services
for Phase III, receiving a total fee of $585,000, none of which was paid in
1996. The Amendment #2 also eliminated any development fee being paid to
Rosedale Care, Inc., or Continental Care, Inc.

BJV - West Joppa. The Partners had advanced to the Partnership a total of
$6,872,377 as of December 31, 1994, which funds were used to defray certain
development, marketing and other costs of the Project. All such advances were
repaid in 1995.

Trustee's Counsel. Davis, Brown, Koehn, Shors & Roberts, P.C., Des Moines, Iowa
("Davis, Brown"), has acted as Trustee's counsel in connection with the issuance
of the 1992 Series I Bonds. A. Arthur Davis, a partner at Davis, Brown, was a
director of The Weitz Corporation through February, 1995. David S. Strutt, an
employee of Weitz Construction, served as General Counsel and Secretary through
February, 1995 of Chestnut Village, LCS, The Weitz Corporation, and Weitz
Construction and was formerly a partner at Davis, Brown.

During 1996, Donald J. Brown, a partner at Davis, Brown, has been outside
general counsel to LCS and Holdings.

Report of Independent Accountants



To the Partners
The Chestnut Real Estate Partnership
    and The Chestnut Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying separate and combined balance sheets of The
Chestnut Real Estate Partnership (a general partnership) and The Chestnut
Partnership (a general partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
related separate and combined statements of operations, statements of partners'
equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these separate and
combined 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 separate and combined financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Chestnut
Real Estate Partnership and The Chestnut Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                     THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL
                        PART OF THE SEPARATE AND COMBINED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.


NOTES TO SEPARATE AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS:

       ORGANIZATION: The separate and combined financial statements include The
       Chestnut Real Estate Partnership (the "Real Estate Partnership") and its
       98% owned subsidiary The Chestnut Partnership (the "Partnership"). Both
       the Real Estate Partnership and the Partnership are general partnerships.
       The Real Estate Partnership is owned 50% by Blakehurst Joint Venture (the
       "Venture") and 50% by West Joppa Road Limited Partnership ("West Joppa").
       The Venture is owned by Chestnut Village, Inc., ("Chestnut Village") and
       Prime Holdings, Inc. The Venture and West Joppa own the remaining 2% of
       the Partnership.

       The Real Estate Partnership was formed to hold title to property which is
       being developed for use as a life care facility under the terms of an
       operating and use agreement with the Partnership.

       The Real Estate Partnership and the Partnership are hereinafter referred
       to as the "Partnerships". The Partnerships were formed to develop, own
       and operate a life care community to be called Blakehurst Retirement
       Community (the "Community") in the Towson area of Baltimore County,
       Maryland. The Community contains a total of 177 residential apartment
       units, 14 domiciliary care units, and 36 comprehensive care beds. Because
       the Partnerships have common ownership and do not have independent
       operating activities the, accompanying financial statements present the
       separate and combined statements of the Partnerships.

       For purposes of preparing the combined financial statements, all material
       transactions between the Partnerships have been eliminated but not
       displayed, including the elimination of the Real Estate Partnership's
       obligation to the Partnership.

       OPERATING PROPERTY: Costs incurred relating to the acquisition of land
       and the design, development, construction, marketing and interest (net of
       interest income) of the Community have been capitalized. Upon completion
       of Phase I in August, 1994, these costs were classified as land,
       buildings, equipment, and other asset classifications, as appropriate,
       and are being depreciated or amortized over the life of the respective
       assets or the period of anticipated benefits.

       These assets are classified as operating property and recorded at cost.
       Depreciation is being computed by the straight-line method over the
       estimated useful lives ranging from seven to fifty years.

       In 1995-96, an auditorium was added, and a carriage house was renovated,
       providing more common areas for the residents. In 1996, construction
       began on a 35-apartment unit wing expansion.

       CAPITALIZATION OF OPERATING EXPENSES AND CERTAIN REVENUES: The Community
       began operations in August, 1993 when the initial occupancy of the
       Community occurred. The Partnership's policy is to capitalize operating
       costs, net of revenues (except for admission fees and capital reserve
       fees) prior to reaching substantial occupancy of the Community or a
       period not to exceed one year. Capitalization of net operating costs
       continued through August, 1994, at which time recognition of revenues and
       expenses commenced.

       Prior to that date, $816,404 in accumulated start-up losses were
       capitalized to project under development, all of which had been incurred
       prior to the completion of construction of the Community.

       DEFERRED BOND FINANCING COSTS: Expenses directly related to the issuance
       of bonds are deferred and amortized over the life of the related debt
       using the interest method.

       COSTS OF ACQUIRING INITIAL CONTRACTS: Costs incurred to originate a
       resident contract that result from and are essential to acquire initial
       contracts through August, 1994, were capitalized. These costs are being
       amortized on a straight-line basis over the average expected remaining
       lives of the residents under contract commencing in August, 1994.

       REVENUES AND EXPENSES: Admission fees are recorded as deferred revenue
       when the right to access a housing unit is established through the
       closing of the transaction. These fees are subsequently amortized into
       income over a 24 month period. Upon occupancy, an owner's supervision fee
       for each resident is billed monthly and recognized as revenue. These fees
       are not refundable and are unrestricted as to use.

       At the time of initial occupancy, the resident pays a capital reserve fee
       equal to the then current monthly service fee (described below). This
       one-time nonrefundable charge is recognized as income when the right to
       access a housing unit is established. Its use is restricted for purposes
       specified in the residency agreement.

       Residents pay a monthly service fee, determined annually. The residency
       agreement provides that residents pay the funds required to operate the
       Community, which includes all operating expenses, debt service for
       nonresident debt, repairs and replacements, capital improvements, and
       working capital. The monthly service fee may only be used for purposes
       specified in the residency agreement.

       Development fees incurred in connection with the development of the
       Community are amortized pro rata as admission fee revenue is recognized.

       INCOME TAXES: The Partnerships are not subject to federal income taxes.
       Each partner will be taxed on their share of the Partnerships' taxable
       income, whether or not distributed, and will be entitled to deduct on
       their own tax return, their share of any net loss of the Partnership and
       any separate tax items, to the extent allowed under the Internal Revenue
       Code.

       FUTURE SERVICE OBLIGATION: The Partnerships annually calculate the
       present value of the net cost of future services and uses of facilities
       to be provided to current residents, and compare this amount to the
       revenue anticipated from these residents. The present value of the net
       cost of future services and uses of facilities does not exceed the
       revenue anticipated, and therefore, no future service obligation is
       recorded.

       CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Partnerships consider investments with
       maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

       Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: 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 dates of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
       during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
       estimates.

2.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

       The Partnerships have agreements with Life Care Services Development
       Corp. ("LCSD") and Life Care Services Corporation ("LCS"), affiliates
       through common ownership of Chestnut Village, for development and for
       management of the Community, respectively. LCSD administers planning,
       development, financing and marketing functions for the Partnerships. LCS
       also has been retained to supervise the day-to-day operations of the
       Community.

       The Partnerships entered into a construction management agreement with
       Mullan Contracting Company ("Mullan"), an affiliate through common
       ownership of one partner of West Joppa, for Phases II and III.

       There were no fees incurred under the development agreements in 1996 and
       1995. Management fees of $333,194 and $293,882 were paid to LCS during
       1996 and 1995, respectively. Additionally, LCS has funded Community costs
       incurred and is subsequently reimbursed by the Partnership.

       At December 31, 1995, advances payable to LCS were $190,153. Mullan
       earned a construction management fee of $94,794 and $25,001 in 1996 and
       1995, respectively.

       At December 31, 1996, a total of $1,600,000 had been advanced to the
       Partnership by Blakehurst Joint Venture and West Joppa in connection with
       Phase III and will be repaid at the time residents move into Phase III.

       The Partnership and the Real Estate Partnership entered into a long-term
       operating and use agreement in 1992. This grants the Partnership use of
       the property until dissolution, liquidation, or other termination by
       mutual agreement. The agreement requires the Partnership to pay all costs
       associated with the construction, equipping, and furnishing of the
       Community. The agreement also provides for an annual fee to be paid by
       the Partnership to the Real Estate Partnership if necessary for federal
       income tax purposes.

3.     RESIDENCY AGREEMENTS:

       The Partnership has entered into residency agreements with occupants and
       prospective occupants of the Community. Until 1994, only a Return of
       Capital Plan residency agreement was offered. In 1994, a second type of
       residency agreement, the Traditional Plan Agreement, was also offered.
       The plans provide for the lifetime use of an apartment with payment by
       the resident of an admission fee and monthly charges sufficient to cover
       the operating cash needs and long-term debt service and a loan to the
       Partnership under the Return of Capital Plan or an entrance fee under the
       Traditional Plan.

       The admission fees are deposited in an escrow account and will be
       released to the Partnership after various contractual and regulatory
       requirements have been met. The liability for refundable deposits of
       $743,167 and $744,151 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
       includes the admission fees plus interest due to residents and
       prospective residents.

       Coincident with the marketing of Phase III which began in 1996, admission
       fees have been received and deposited in an escrow account, to be
       released when the newly constructed units are occupied. At December 31,
       1996, the liability for Phase III refundable deposits was $892,550.

       The funds held in escrow under residency agreements at December 31, 1996
       and 1995 which are the result of admission fees received plus interest
       are invested primarily in money market funds.

       The Return of Capital Plan residency agreement also provides that the
       resident will, upon occupancy, make a loan to the Partnership. These
       loans are collateralized by a deed of trust on the real estate subject to
       certain permitted encumbrances, including the revenue bonds referred to
       in Note 7. The loans will be repaid upon the earlier of reoccupancy of
       the unit or 12 months after termination of the residency agreement, 30
       years from the date of the loan agreement, or such other date as the
       resident and the Partnership may agree. The loans are subject to
       interest; however, the Partnership will receive revenue in the form of an
       annual fee from the residents in the same amount. These interest payments
       have no effect on the financial statements, and are offset in the
       accompanying financial statements. The outstanding loans totaled
       $38,004,000 and $36,756,428 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       The Traditional Plan residency agreement requires the payment of an
       entrance fee (admission fee plus entrance cost) prior to the occupancy
       of a unit. Upon termination of the Traditional Plan residency agreement,
       a calculated portion of the entrance costs may be repaid. At December 31,
       1996 and 1995, such refundable entrance costs equaled $1,055,790 and
       $816,322, respectively and are included in loans from residents.

       Other funds held in escrow are being released to the Partnership for
       general use upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the
       completion of the Community. These amounts are valued at cost which
       approximates market.

       The State of Maryland requires that an operating reserve be established
       in the amount of 15% of operating expenses excluding depreciation and
       amortization. The required $868,000 is included in cash and cash
       equivalents as of December 31, 1996.

4.     OPERATING PROPERTY:

       Upon Community completion in August, 1994, costs previously recorded as
       project under development were classified as operating property. A
       summary of these costs as of December 1996 and 1995, follows:

5.     ASSETS WHOSE USE IS LIMITED UNDER BOND INDENTURE AGREEMENTS:

       Assets whose use is limited that are required for obligations classified
       as current liabilities are reported in current assets. Funds held by bond
       trustees represent those assets (cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government
       securities and interest receivable) which are encumbered by covenants in
       revenue bond indentures. These assets are classified as held to maturity
       and are carried at cost which approximates market. The only investment
       not a cash equivalent is a one-year Treasury Bill maturing in May, 1997
       and which is being held to maturity. Amortized cost of $1,533,654
       approximates market. The use of these funds is restricted to the payments
       of obligations arising from bond issues. The specific accounts provided
       for in the indentures and held by the bond trustees are as follows:

       The 1992 Series I and II Mortgage Bonds are subject to redemption without
       premium or penalty by the Partnership prior to their stated maturity at a
       redemption price equal to principal plus accrued interest to the date of
       redemption.



8.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

       The realization of the costs of the Community is ultimately dependent
       upon the sale of the remaining units, and occupancy of the Community.

       Maintenance and efficient operation of the Community are also critical to
       the long-term success of the Community.

       During 1996, the Partnerships commenced Phase III of the Community which
       includes the addition of 35 residential apartment units, a core tower,
       additional parking facilities and other amenities. Total Phase III
       development costs are estimated to be approximately $10,600,000 which
       include construction management fees to Mullan and development fees to
       LCSD (Note 2).

       The sources of funds for Phase III are ultimately expected to be
       permanent parity debt financing ($1,900,000) and resident loans and fees
       ($8,700,000). Construction period financing will be provided by the
       partners.

9.     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

       The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
       value of each class of financial instruments.

       The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value
       because of the short maturity of those instruments. The investment in a
       U.S. government security is valued based on quoted market prices (see
       Note 5). Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the
       Partnership's debt with similar terms and average maturities, the fair
       value of the bonds is $15,100,000. The redemption price to the
       Partnership as of December 31, 1996 is 100% or $13,805,000.

4.       MONTHLY CHARGES.

         4.1 OWNER'S SUPERVISION FEE. You will pay an Owner's Supervision Fee of
         $___________________ a month per Resident for occupying your Apartment
         or the Community Health Center. There shall be no increase in your
         Owner's Supervision Fee during the term of this Agreement. The Owner's
         Supervision Fee may be used by us for any purpose.

         4.2 SERVICE FEE. You will pay the following Service Fee for the
         services and features provided under Section 7:

                  4.2.1 INITIAL SERVICE FEE. If the Community were in operation
         during the fiscal year ended December 31, 19__, this Service Fee would
         be $_____________ a month for one person and an additional $___________
         a month if there are two of you. For sub sequent fiscal years and until
         the Fair Share Allocation has been implemented, the Service Fee will be
         adjusted on the basis of the best information available at the time and
         the prior year's inflation rate. The Fair Share Allocation will be
         implemented when, in our sole discretion, the Community has had a
         sufficient operating history to support its use and determination.

                  4.2.2 FAIR SHARE ALLOCATION. Upon implementation of the Fair
         Share Allocation, the Service Fee will thereafter be your fair share of
         the cash requirement of the Community (as described in Section 4.4).
         The Fair Share Allocation has been developed to apportion the cash
         requirement of the Community among its residents, based on such factors
         as living unit size and type, number of second persons, and other
         relevant factors as determined by us from time to time. A sample of the
         current form of Fair Share Allocation formula is included in our most
         current Information Booklet.

         4.3 TOTAL MONTHLY CHARGES FOR APARTMENT. If the Community were in
         operation during the fiscal year ending December 31, 19__, you would
         pay total Monthly Charges (including second person charges if there are
         two of you) of $______________ for the Owner's Super vision Fee and
         Service Fee.

         4.4 CASH REQUIREMENT. The cash requirement of the Community is that
         projected amount necessary to provide services and facilities to the
         residents. The cash requirement is charged to all residents through the
         Service Fee and application of the Fair Share Allocation. Generally, we
         will determine the cash requirement based upon (i) the costs incurred
         in connection with the operation of the Community for the prior fiscal
         year, (ii) with adjustments made for inflation or deflation, occupancy
         rates, changes to reserves, and nonrecurring expenses, and (iii)
         reduced by certain projected Community income for the next fiscal year.
         Once determined, the cash requirement is allocated among the residents
         pursuant to the Fair Share Allocation. The determination of the cash
         requirement is further explained below:

                  4.4.1 COSTS. Based upon the costs incurred in connection with
         the operation of the Community for the prior fiscal year, we will
         determine all anticipated expenses, costs, and other charges to the
         Community for the next fiscal year, including but not limited to
         salaries, wages, and fringe benefits of the Community employees and
         other persons at the Community (including administrators); payroll
         taxes; telephone; utilities; license fees, occupational taxes, property
         taxes, sales taxes, permits, and other taxes (excluding only our income
         taxes); legal and accounting fees and costs; bad debts and other
         losses; insurance premiums, commissions, deductibles, and claims;
         consulting fees; directors' expenses; food; supplies; interior,
         exterior, and grounds replacement, repair, and maintenance, includ ing
         living unit refurbishment costs; capital improvements to the extent
         funds are not available for such use from the Community's Capital
         Replacement Reserve Fund (as described in Section 4.10); an amount
         equal to three percent (3%) of the prior year's total cash requirement
         to fund the Capital Replacement Reserve; management fees paid to
         others; management fees paid to Life Care Services Corporation or to an
         affiliate of Life Care Services Corporation of five percent (5%) of the
         total of revenues (including first and second person Service Fees),
         plus reimbursable costs incurred in performing management services as
         described in the management agreement; debt service, including
         principal and interest (excluding only principal payments on loans from
         residents); initial start-up losses, if any, incurred after the earlier
         of ninety percent (90%) occupancy or nine (9) months following initial
         occupancy; lease payments; occupancy development costs; and other
         similar expenses, costs, and charges to the Community.

                  4.4.2 ADJUSTMENTS. The foregoing projected expenses, costs,
         and charges are then further adjusted by us to take into account
         anticipated changes in reserves, working capital needs, services,
         Community Health Center utilization, living unit occu pancy, inflation
         or deflation, nonrecurring expenses, and other relevant factors.

                  4.4.3 COMMUNITY INCOME. The foregoing adjusted expenses,
         costs, and charges are then reduced for certain projected income of the
         Community for the next fiscal year, consisting of fees for additional
         services, the Community Health Center services, and investment income
         from the Health Center Resident Loans Escrow, to result in the cash
         requirement of the Community for the next fiscal year.

         4.5 SERVICE FEE CHANGES.

                  4.5.1 EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.5.2 BELOW, WE WILL
         NOTIFY YOU AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF EACH FISCAL
         YEAR OF THE NEW SERVICE FEE THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT AT THE START OF
         THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. WE WILL NOT ADJUST YOUR SERVICE FEE MORE THAN
         ONCE EACH YEAR, EXCEPT FOR THE YEAR DURING WHICH THE FAIR SHARE
         ALLOCATION IS IMPLEMENTED.

                  4.5.2 IF YOU OCCUPY A DOMICILIARY CARE BED IN THE COMMUNITY
         HEALTH CENTER, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU AT LEAST FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS BEFORE
         ANY CHANGE IN THE SERVICE FEE IS EFFECTIVE.

         4.6 USE OF SERVICE FEE. The Service Fee will be used by us only for
         purposes related to the Community. As part of the annual audit of the
         Community, we will obtain an opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
         independent auditors which confirms that the Service Fee has been used
         by us only for purposes related to the Community. A copy of the annual
         audit of the Community is available for your review upon your request.

         4.7 CREDIT AGAINST INITIAL MONTHLY CHARGES. You will receive a credit
         towards the payment of your Monthly Charges until the credit is fully
         used. The credit is not available for any other purpose. The credit
         will be in an amount equal to simple interest of five and one-half
         percent (5.5%) per annum on your Admission Fee computed from the date
         of its payment until the commencement of your Service Fee. The credit
         may result in tax consequences to you as described in Section 14.9.

         4.8 PAYMENT. You will pay a pro rata portion of the Owner's Supervision
         Fee and Service Fee commencing on the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) days
         after your Apartment is ready for occupancy (provided we give you at
         least thirty (30) days' advance notice of the date on which your
         Apartment will be ready for occupancy) or (ii) the date you move into
         the Community. Thereafter, such Monthly Charges will be payable on the
         first day of each month in advance. Any additional charges for optional
         services requested by you will be paid on the first day of each month
         for the optional services obtained during the preceding month.

         4.9 CANCELLATION OF MONTHLY CHARGES FOR APARTMENT. The Monthly Charges
         for your Apartment will continue until the earlier of (i) your death
         (if there are two of you, the death of the survivor) or (ii) the
         release of your Apartment pursuant to the provisions regarding the
         Community Health Center usage or (iii) the cancellation of this
         Agreement pursuant to Section 10 or Section 11 of this Agreement.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Monthly Charges for your Apartment
         will continue at least until your furniture and other property are
         removed from the Apartment. If removal of your furniture and other
         property is not accom plished within thirty (30) days after the earlier
         of (i) your death (if there are two of you, the death of the survivor)
         or (ii) the release of your Apartment pursuant to the provisions
         regarding the Community Health Center usage or (iii) the cancellation
         of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 or Section 11 of this
         Agreement, then we may remove and store such furniture and other
         property at the expense and risk of you and your estate. In the event
         there are two of you who occupy the Apartment and one of you dies, the
         second person fees will cease and the remaining person will continue to
         pay the first person Service Fee and Owner's Super vision Fee.

         4.10 CAPITAL REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND. We will establish a Community
         Capital Replacement Reserve Fund to be used only for improving or
         replacing capital items of the Community which cost over $50,000. Such
         reserve will be funded from monthly Service Fees as set forth in
         Section 4.4.1. A copy of the Capital Replacement Reserve Escrow
         Agreement is available for review by you or by your advisors upon
         request.

5.       BENEFITS TO US OR AN AFFILIATE.

         The property comprising the Community is owned by The Chestnut Real
         Estate Partnership, a Maryland proprietary general partnership and an
         affiliate of ours. The Community is not affiliated with any religious
         or charitable group or association. We and The Chestnut Real Estate
         Partnership are solely responsible for all financial and contractual
         obligations related to the Community. No portion of the expenses,
         costs, and charges included in the Service Fee are paid to us or an
         affiliate as fees (except a management fee which is limited in amount
         to five percent (5%) of the total of revenues which include first and
         second person Service Fees). Our compensation from the Com munity
         consists solely of the Admission Fees, the Owner's Supervision Fees,
         the Loans (subject to our obligation to repay the Loans), the five
         percent (5%) management fee, and the potential appreciation of the
         Community and other benefits generally associated with the ownership of
         real estate. The fees collected by us may not be used for purposes
         other than those set forth in this Agreement.

6.       ANNUAL FEE CHARGED FOR COMMUNITY RESIDENCY.

         You are obligated to pay to us annually, on the date determined by us,
         an Annual Fee in an amount equal to the interest expense incurred by us
         for your Loan. The Annual Fee will be an amount which is calculated by
         multiplying the annual interest rate set forth in your Loan Agreement
         when you make your Loan, times an amount equal to the difference
         between the principal balance of your Loan and the amount which is
         exempt from the below-market interest provisions of Section 7872 of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. You are obligated to pay the
         Annual Fee until your Loan is repaid.

7.       SERVICES AND FEATURES PROVIDED TO ALL APARTMENT RESIDENTS.

         Unless this Agreement is amended as provided in Section 13, we will
         furnish at the Community, so long as you reside in the Apartment, the

         required, at our sole discretion. A determination that
         assistance-in-living services are required to maintain independent
         living in the Apartment is made by a multi- disciplinary committee
         staffed by employees of the Community. You may obtain these services
         through the Blakehurst assistance-in- living program or through other
         providers or persons under arrangements acceptable to us. A copy of our
         current policy governing the extent of assistance-in-living services
         offered by us at no additional charge and listing the charges for
         assistance-in-living services available for an extended period of time,
         is available through administration. This policy is subject to change
         from time to time.

9.       THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER.

         If, in the opinion of the medical director or your attending physician,
         you need health center services in the Community Health Center, you
         will be requested to relocate to a private domiciliary care bed or a
         semi-private comprehensive care bed, depending on the level of health
         center services required by you. We will provide you health center
         services to the extent authorized by our license on the following
         terms.

         9.1 FIRST NINETY (90) DAYS OF HEALTH CENTER SERVICES. We will provide
         health center services in a private domiciliary care bed or a
         semi-private comprehensive care bed in the Community Health Center
         without additional charge for ninety (90) cumulative days for you
         (ninety (90) days for each of you if there are two of you, but the
         allowance cannot be combined and used by only one of you), except that
         you will pay the cost of the extra meals not covered by the Service Fee
         for your Apartment at the then current charge for extra meals and for
         any additional health services as described in Section 9.6. The monthly
         Service Fee for your Apartment, the Owner's Supervision Fee, and the
         Annual Fee will continue as before.

         9.2 MORE THAN NINETY (90) DAYS OF HEALTH CENTER SERVICES WHEN THERE IS
         ONE OF YOU. If there is one of you, and you require health center
         services beyond the ninety (90) cumulative days and you relocate to a
         private domiciliary care bed or a semi-private compre hensive care bed
         in the Community Health Center, your Monthly Charges will depend upon
         whether you choose to release your Apartment:

                  9.2.1 If you choose to release your Apartment for occupancy by
         someone else, the monthly Service Fee for your Apartment will cease.
         Monthly Charges for your health center services will be equal to the
         then current Service Fee for the one-bedroom deluxe apartment (unless
         your Service Fee for your Apartment is less in which case the lesser
         Service Fee shall apply). You will continue to pay your Owner's
         Supervision Fee and the Annual Fee. In addition, you will pay the cost
         of two meals per day at the then current charge for extra meals and for
         any additional health services as described in Section 9.6.

                  9.2.2 If you choose to not release your Apartment for
         occupancy by someone else, the monthly Service Fee for your Apartment,
         the Owner's Supervision Fee, and the Annual Fee will continue. You will
         also pay Monthly Charges for your health center services which will be
         equal to the then current monthly Service Fee for the one-bedroom
         deluxe apartment (unless your Service Fee for your Apartment is less in
         which case the lesser Service Fee shall apply) plus an additional
         Owner's Supervision Fee. In addition, you will pay for the cost of one
         meal per day at the then current charge for extra meals and for any
         additional health services as described in Section 9.6.

         9.3 MORE THAN NINETY (90) DAYS OF HEALTH CENTER SERVICES WHEN THERE ARE
         TWO OF YOU. If there are two of you, and only one of you requires
         health center services beyond the ninety (90) cumulative days and such
         Resident relocates to a private domi ciliary care bed or a semi-private
         comprehensive care bed in the Community Health Center, there will be no
         additional Monthly Charges for health center services except that you
         will pay the cost of the two meals per day not covered by the Service
         Fee for your Apartment at the then current charge for extra meals and
         for any additional health services as described in Section 9.6. The
         monthly Service Fee, including the second person Service Fee, for your
         Apartment, the Owner's Supervision Fees, and the Annual Fee will
         continue as before. If both of you require health center services
         beyond the ninety (90) cumulative days, and both of you relocate to a
         private domiciliary care bed or a semi-private comprehensive care bed
         in the Community Health Center, your Monthly Charges will depend upon
         whether you choose to release your Apartment:

                  9.3.1 If you choose to release your Apartment for occupancy by
         someone else, the monthly Service Fee, including the second person
         Service Fee, for your Apartment will cease. Monthly Charges for your
         health center services will be equal to the then current monthly
         Service Fee, including the second person Service Fee, for the
         one-bedroom deluxe apartment (unless your Service Fees for your
         Apartment are less in which case the lesser monthly Service Fees shall
         apply). You will continue to pay your Owner's Supervision Fees and the
         Annual Fee. In addition, you will pay the cost of four meals per day at
         the then current charge for extra meals and for any additional health
         services as described in Section 9.6.

                  9.3.2 If you choose to not release your Apartment for
         occupancy by someone else, the monthly Service Fee, including the
         second person Service Fee for your Apartment, your Owner's Supervision
         Fees, and the Annual Fee will continue. You will also pay Monthly
         Charges for your health center services which will be equal to the then
         current monthly Service Fee, including the second person Service Fee,
         for the one-bedroom deluxe apartment (unless your Service Fees for your
         Apartment are less in which case the lesser Service Fees shall apply)
         plus additional Owner's Supervision Fees. In addition, you will pay the
         cost of two meals per day at the then current charge for extra meals
         and for any additional health services as described in Section 9.6.

         9.4 HEALTH CENTER RESIDENT LOANS ESCROW. If you release your Apartment
         because you have moved to the Community Health Center, we will attempt
         to reoccupy your Apartment. Upon reoccupancy of your Apartment, we will
         deposit into escrow an amount equal to the principal of your Loan
         balance. The funds will be maintained in escrow for the benefit of
         residents of the Community Health Center whose living units have been
         released and reoccupied. Earnings from such Health Center Resident
         Loans Escrow will be used by us only for purposes related to the
         Community. Upon cancellation of this Agreement, such identified deposit
         will be applied in repayment of your Loan. All deposits to the Health
         Center Resident Loans Escrow will be subject to certain permitted
         encumbrances as described in the Health Center Resident Loans Escrow
         Agreement.

         9.5 RETURN TO APARTMENT. If you have released your Apartment because
         you have moved to the Community Health Center, and if later you are
         able, in the opinion of the medical director, to return to a living
         unit, we will provide you a living unit of the same type as your
         Apartment as soon as one becomes available. Upon reoccupying such
         living unit, your Monthly Charges will be based on the then current
         charges for the living unit. Your deposit in the Health Center Resident
         Loans Escrow will be released to us and your Loan will again be secured
         by the Indemnity Deed of Trust.

         9.6 ADDITIONAL HEALTH SERVICES. We may also provide special services
         and supplies in the Community Health Center such as therapy,
         pharmaceutical supplies, personal laundry, and rental of equipment.
         These additional services and supplies are not included in the Service
         Fee and/or health center service fees, but will be available for an
         extra charge. Fees from such additional services will be used by us
         only for purposes related to the Community.

         9.7 MEDICAL DIRECTOR. We will designate a member in good standing of
         the Baltimore County Medical Society as medical director who will be
         available for emergency calls. You will be at liberty to engage the
         services of the medical director at your own expense. We will not be
         responsible for the cost of medical treatment by the medical director,
         nor will we be responsible for the cost of medicine, drugs, prescribed
         therapy, and similar additional services and supplies. If we incur or
         advance costs for your medical treatment or for medicine, drugs,
         prescribed therapy, and similar additional services and supplies, (even
         though such medical care is given at the direction of your attending
         physician or the medical director without your prior approval), you
         will promptly reimburse us for such costs.

         9.8 SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE. The Community will participate in the
         Medicare program. Upon initial occupancy of your Apartment, you will
         represent that you are entitled to Medicare Part A benefits and are
         enrolled in the Medicare Part B program. Further, you will maintain,
         while you are a resident of the Community, Medicare Part A, Medicare
         Part B, and one health insurance policy to supplement Medicare or
         equivalent insurance coverage acceptable to us, and, upon our request,
         furnish us copies of such policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if,
         upon initial occupancy, you are not eligible to enroll in the Medicare
         program, you will not be required to enroll in the Medicare program
         until you reach the age of eligibility. If such coverage is not
         maintained by you, we may revoke your right to reside at the Community
         and cancel this Agreement as provided in Section 11. The Community will
         not participate in the Medicaid program, and you will not be required
         to apply for Medicaid as a condition of continued residency.

         9.9 HEALTH CENTER ADDENDUM. If required by Maryland law in connection
         with your relocation to the Community Health Center, you and we agree
         to enter into an addendum to this Agreement which more specifically
         describes the related health services and related charges.

         9.10 EMERGENCY ENTRY AND RELOCATION. We may enter your Community Health
         Center room should it be necessary to protect your health and safety or
         the health and safety of other residents. Should it be necessary to
         modify facilities to meet requirements of the law which necessitate
         temporary vacation of your Community Health Center room, we will
         provide alternate facilities for you without additional cost within or
         outside the Community. If relocation is recommended by the medical
         director or your attending physician, we will request that you relocate
         to another Community Health Center room only for the protection of your
         health or safety or for the health or safety of the other residents of
         the Community.

10.      YOUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS.

         You may cancel this Agreement at any time by giving us written notice
         of cancellation signed by you (both of you if there are two of you) and
         sent by registered or certified mail. If you give such notice prior to
         your occupancy of the Community, the cancellation will be effective as
         described in Section 2 above. If you give such notice after your
         occupancy of the Community, this Agreement will be cancelled upon the
         expiration of one hundred twenty (120) days from the date we receive
         such notice of cancellation. If you give such notice, you will pay your
         Monthly Charges until the expiration of such 120 days. Your Loan will
         be repaid in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Your Annual Fee will
         continue until your Loan is repaid.



11.      OUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS.

         11.1 JUST CAUSE. After we have accepted you for residency, we will not
         cancel this Agreement except for just cause. Just cause is defined as:

                  11.1.1 Nonpayment; or

                  11.1.2 Material breach of this Agreement or the rules of the
         Community; or

                  11.1.3 Health status or behavior which constitutes a
         substantial threat to your health or safety or to the health or safety
         of the other residents of the Community.

         11.2 FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. If, after you have paid the Entrance Fee,
         you encounter financial difficulties making it impossible for you to
         pay the full Monthly Charges, then:

                  11.2.1 You shall in any case be permitted to remain at the
         Community for one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of failure
         to pay, during which time you shall continue to pay reduced Monthly
         Charges based on your current income; and

                  11.2.2 Because it is and shall continue to be our declared
         policy to not cancel your residency solely by reason of your financial
         inability to pay the full Monthly Charges, you shall be permitted to
         remain at the Community at reduced Monthly Charges based on your
         ability to pay for so long as you establish facts to justify deferral
         of such charges, and the deferral of such charges can, in our sole
         discretion, be granted without impairing our ability to operate on a
         sound financial basis. The loss of revenue to the Community from any
         such deferral of charges will be borne by us and will not be charged
         back to other residents under the Fair Share Allocation. This provision
         shall not apply if you have impaired your ability to meet your
         financial obligations hereunder by making unapproved gifts or other
         transfers. To evidence these agreements based on the circumstances at
         the time, you agree to enter into a special hardship agreement with us
         at the time of any such deferrals to reflect the reduced charges
         currently payable and the interest rate to be applied to the deferrals
         and to provide us with a perfected first security interest in your Loan
         repayment rights. Any payments otherwise due to you from us, including
         the repayment of your Loan, will be offset against any such deferred
         charges as provided in Section 3.3.

         11.3 NOTICE OF CANCELLATION. Prior to any cancellation of the Agreement
         by us, we will give you notice in writing of the reasons, and you will
         have sixty (60) days thereafter to correct the problem. If we determine
         that the problem is corrected within such time, this Agreement shall
         remain in effect. If we determine that the problem is not corrected
         within such time, this Agreement will be cancelled and you must leave
         the Community.

         director determines that either the giving of notice or the waiting
         period described above might be detrimental to you or others, then such
         notice and/or waiting period shall not be required before relocation to
         a hospital or other appropriate facility. Under such circumstances, we
         are expressly authorized to transfer you to such hospital or other
         facility, and we will promptly notify your representative and your
         attending physician. Upon transferring you to such hospital or other
         facility, we will immediately provide you with a notice of
         cancellation. This Agreement shall be cancelled sixty (60) days
         following notice, unless your condition improves and you are

         second person Admission Fee as determined by us, and each month
         thereafter, you shall pay the then current additional Monthly Charges

         of income, if any, resulting from your Loan and from the credit

         such holders may reasonably require, except that such subordination
         will not apply to your statutory refund rights as described under
         Section 3.2. Except to the extent of your obligation to pay the Service
         Fee, you will not be liable for any such indebtedness evidenced by the
         permitted encumbrances.

         14.11 TRANSFERS. We may from time to time issue additional equity
         interests or sell or transfer interest in the Community, provided that

         otherwise transfer the land or other portions of the Community and
         lease back such land or other portions. Your signature hereto
         constitutes your consent and approval to any such future transfer.

         14.12 LAW CHANGES. If changes are made in any of the statutes or
         regulations applicable to the Community prior to the completion of
         construction of the Community, we shall have the right to cancel this

         the law.

         Association.

         for recovery in any court of general jurisdiction for injuries arising
         out of our violation of the provisions of Article 70B of the Annotated
         Code of Maryland as described in Section 14.17, any dispute, claim, or
         controversy of any kind between you and us arising out of, in
         connection with, or relating to this Agreement and any amendment
         hereof, or the breach hereof, which cannot be resolved by mutual
         agreement, will be submitted to and determined by arbitration in
         Towson, Maryland in accordance with the then current commercial
         arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided,
         however, that you and we will each be required to submit a proposed
         resolution of such dispute or controversy to the arbitrator, and the
         arbitrator will be required to render a decision adopting, in full,
         either one or the other of such proposed resolutions, and no
         compromises or alternative resolutions shall be allowed or considered
         by the arbitrator. Both you and we will be bound by the arbitrator's
         decision, and judgment upon such decision may be entered in any federal
         or state court having jurisdiction unless the arbitration is fraudulent
         or so grossly erroneous as to necessarily imply bad faith. You and we
         will jointly agree on an arbitrator. If you and we are unable to agree
         in good faith and within a reasonable time on the selection of an
         arbitrator, either you or we may request appointment of an arbitrator
         by the American Arbitration Association. Costs of arbitration,
         including our legal costs and attorneys' fees, arbitrators' fees, and
         similar costs, will be borne by all residents of the Community under
         the Fair Share Allocation provided that the arbitrator may choose to
         award the costs of arbitration against us if the arbitrator determines
         that the proposed resolution urged by us was not reasonable. Any direct
         arbitration costs incurred by you will be borne by you. If the issue
         affects more than one resident, we may elect to join all affected
         residents into a single arbitration proceeding, and you hereby consent
         to such joinder.

         14.15 RESIDENT REPRESENTATIONS. By executing this Agreement, you
         represent and warrant that you are capable of independent living, free
         of communicable disease, and have assets and income which are
         sufficient under foreseeable circumstances and after provision for
         payment of your obligations under this Agreement to meet your ordinary
         and customary living expenses after assuming occupancy, and that all
         written representations made to us with respect to such matters by you
         or on your behalf on the Confidential Data Application or otherwise are
         true.

         14.16 FEE ADJUSTMENTS FOR ABSENCES. No fee adjustments for absences
         from the Community will be made, except at our sole discretion.

         14.17 LEGAL REMEDIES. Residents of facilities such as the Community are
         protected by the provisions of Article 70B of the Annotated Code of
         Maryland, which provides that residents injured by violation of that
         subtitle may bring an action for the recovery of damages in any court
         of general jurisdiction, and the award may include reasonable
         attorneys' fees in the event of a favorable judgment. In addition,
         residents injured by a violation of that subtitle, or the Maryland
         Office on Aging on behalf of any resident, may institute an action for
         an appropriate temporary restraining order or injunction. Any injured
         resident, or the Maryland Office on Aging on behalf of any injured
         resident, may petition for the appointment of a receiver in the event
         of a threat of immediate closure of a facility or if the provider is
         not honoring its contracts with its residents or to prohibit the
         diversion of assets and records from the facility or the State of
         Maryland.

         14.18 FUNERAL AND BURIAL SERVICES. No funeral or burial services or
         expenses are provided by us pursuant to this Agreement.

         14.19 CERTIFIED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Upon request, we will make
         available to you any certified financial statements transmitted to the
         Maryland Office on Aging as required by Article 70B of the Annotated
         Code of Maryland.

         A PRELIMINARY OR FINAL CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION IS NOT AN
         ENDORSEMENT OR GUARANTEE OF THIS FACILITY BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND. THE
         MARYLAND OFFICE ON AGING URGES YOU TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY AND A
         SUITABLE FINANCIAL ADVISOR BEFORE SIGNING ANY DOCUMENTS.

       you are no longer capable of independent living, all in accordance with
       the terms of this Agreement.

                1.1.1 ADMISSION FEE. Your Admission Fee of $____________________
       for one person is paid herewith, and an additional $_____________ if
       there are two of you, is due at the time you pay the balance of your
       Entrance Fee. Your Admission Fee will be held in escrow pursuant to the
       terms of the Admission Fee Escrow Agreement established by us for the
       Community. A copy of the Admission Fee Escrow Agreement is available for
       your review upon your request. Your Admission Fee will be released to us

       final certificate of registration to the Community by the Maryland Office
       on Aging; (ii) the completion of construction; (iii) the issuance of a
       certificate of occupancy, or the equivalent, by the appropriate local
       jurisdiction; and (iv) the issuance of the appropriate licenses or
       certificates by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene or by the
       Maryland Office on Aging. We may not provide continuing care until we
       receive a final certificate of registration from the Maryland Office on
       Aging. The Maryland Office on Aging shall issue a final certificate of
       registration when it determines that all of the following conditions have
       been met: (i) we have been issued a preliminary certificate of
       registration; (ii) we have filed all required documents with the Maryland
       Office on Aging; (iii) we have submitted documenta tion which
       demonstrates that continuing care agreements have been executed for
       sixty-five percent (65%) of the living units, and a minimum of ten
       percent (10%) of the total Entrance Fee has been paid for each contracted
       living unit; and (iv) we have submitted documentation of a commitment for
       permanent long-term financing and construction financing.

                1.1.2 BALANCE OF ENTRANCE FEE. The balance of the Entrance Fee
       will be paid to us on the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) days after your
       Apartment is ready for occupancy (provided that we give you at least
       thirty (30) days' advance notice of the date on which your Apartment will
       be ready for occupancy) or (ii) the date you move into the Community. In
       exchange for paying the Entrance Fee and paying all Monthly Charges, this
       Agreement grants you a license to the lifetime use of the Apartment and
       other Community facilities and to available services.

       1.2 ONE-TIME CAPITAL RESERVE FEE. At the same time you pay your initial
       Service Fee, you will pay us an amount equal to the then current monthly
       Service Fee (as described in Section 4.2). This is a one-time
       non-refundable charge which we will place in a working capital account to
       be used by us only for purposes related to the Community.

4.     MONTHLY CHARGES.

       4.1 OWNER'S SUPERVISION FEE. You will pay an Owner's Supervision Fee of
       $___________________ a month per Resident for occupying your Apartment or
       the Community Health Center. There shall be no increase in your Owner's
       Supervision Fee during the term of this Agreement. The Owner's
       Supervision Fee may be used by us for any purpose.

       4.2 SERVICE FEE. You will pay the following Service Fee for the services
       and features provided under Section 6:


                4.2.1 INITIAL SERVICE FEE. If the Community were in operation
       during the fiscal year ending December 31, 19__, the Service Fee would be
       $________________ a month for one person and an additional $_____________
       a month if there are two of you. For subsequent fiscal years and until
       the Fair Share Allocation has been implemented, the Service Fee will be
       adjusted on the basis of the best information available at the time and
       the prior year's inflation rate. The Fair Share Allocation will be
       implemented when, in our sole discretion, the Community has had a
       sufficient operating history to support its use and determination.

                4.2.2 FAIR SHARE ALLOCATION. Upon implementation of the Fair
       Share Allocation, the Service Fee will thereafter be your fair share of
       the cash requirement of the Community (as described in Section 4.4
       below).

       The Fair Share Allocation has been developed to apportion the cash
       requirement of the Community among its residents, based on such factors
       as living unit size and type, number of second persons, and other
       relevant factors as determined by us from time to time. A sample of the
       current form of Fair Share Allocation formula is included in our most
       current Information Booklet.

       4.3 TOTAL MONTHLY CHARGES FOR APARTMENT. If the Community were in
       operation during the fiscal year ending December 31, 19 , you would pay
       total Monthly Charges (including second person charges if there are two
       of you) of $_________ for the Owner's Supervision Fee and Service Fee.

       4.4 CASH REQUIREMENT. The cash requirement of the Community is that
       projected amount necessary to provide services and facilities to the
       residents. The cash requirement is charged to all residents through the
       Service Fee and application of the Fair Share Allocation. Generally, we
       will determine the cash requirement based upon (i) the costs incurred in
       connection with the operation of the Community for the prior fiscal year,
       (ii) with adjustments made for inflation or deflation, occupancy rates,
       changes to reserves, and nonrecurring expenses, and (iii) reduced by
       certain projected Community income for the next fiscal year. Once
       determined, the cash requirement is allocated among the residents
       pursuant to the Fair Share Allocation. The determination of the cash
       requirement is further explained below:

                4.4.1 COSTS. Based upon the costs incurred in connection with
       the operation of the Community for the prior fiscal year, we will
       determine all anticipated expenses, costs, and other charges to the
       Community for the next fiscal year, including but not limited to
       salaries, wages, and fringe benefits of the Community employees and other
       persons at the Community (including administrators); payroll taxes;
       telephone; utilities; license fees, occupational taxes, property taxes,
       sales taxes, permits, and other taxes (excluding only our income taxes);
       legal and accounting fees and costs; bad debts and other losses;
       insurance premiums, commissions, deductibles, and claims; consulting
       fees; directors' expenses; food; supplies; interior, exterior, and
       grounds replacement, repair, and maintenance, including living unit
       refurbishment costs; capital improvements to the extent funds are not
       available for such use from the Community's Capital Replacement Reserve
       Fund (as described in Section 4.10); an amount equal to three percent
       (3%) of the prior year's total cash requirement to fund the Capital
       Replacement Reserve; management fees paid to others; management fees paid
       to Life Care Services Corporation or to an affiliate of Life Care
       Services Corporation of five percent (5%) of the total of revenues
       (including first and second person Service Fees), plus reimbursable costs
       incurred in performing management services as described in the management
       agreement; debt service, including principal and interest (excluding only
       principal payments on loans from residents); initial start-up losses, if
       any, incurred after the earlier of ninety percent (90%) occupancy or nine
       (9) months following initial occupancy; lease payments; occupancy
       development costs; and other similar expenses, costs, and charges to the
       Community.

                4.4.2 ADJUSTMENTS. The foregoing projected expenses, costs, and
       charges are then further adjusted by us to take into account anticipated
       changes in reserves, working capital needs, services, the Community
       Health Center utilization, living unit occupancy, inflation or deflation,
       nonrecurring expenses, and other relevant factors.

                4.4.3 COMMUNITY INCOME. The foregoing adjusted expenses, costs,
       and charges are then reduced for certain projected income of the
       Community for the next fiscal year, consisting of fees for additional
       services, Community Health Center services, and investment income from
       the Health Center Resident Loans Escrow, to result in the cash
       requirement of the Community for the next fiscal year.

       4.5 SERVICE FEE CHANGES.

                4.5.1 EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.5.2 BELOW, WE WILL NOTIFY
       YOU AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF EACH FISCAL YEAR OF THE
       NEW SERVICE FEE THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT AT THE START OF THE NEXT FISCAL
       YEAR. WE WILL NOT ADJUST YOUR SERVICE FEE MORE THAN ONCE EACH YEAR,
       EXCEPT FOR THE YEAR DURING WHICH THE FAIR SHARE ALLOCATION IS
       IMPLEMENTED.

                4.5.2 IF YOU OCCUPY A DOMICILIARY CARE BED IN THE COMMUNITY
       HEALTH CENTER, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU AT LEAST FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS BEFORE
       ANY CHANGE IN THE SERVICE FEE IS EFFECTIVE.

       4.6 USE OF SERVICE FEE. The Service Fee will be used by us only for
       purposes related to the Community. As part of the annual audit of the
       Community, we will obtain an opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
       independent auditors which confirms that the Service Fee has been used by
       us only for purposes related to the Community. A copy of the annual audit
       of the Community is available for your review upon your request.

       4.7 CREDIT AGAINST INITIAL MONTHLY CHARGES. You will receive a credit
       toward the payment of your Monthly Charges until the credit is fully
       used. The credit is not available for any other purpose. The credit will
       be in an amount equal to simple interest of five and one-half percent
       (5.5%) per annum on your Admission Fee computed from the date of its
       payment until the commencement of your Service Fee. The credit may result
       in tax consequences to you as described in Section 13.9.

       4.8 PAYMENT. You will pay a pro rata portion of the Owner's Supervision
       Fee and Service Fee commencing on the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) days
       after your Apartment is ready for occupancy (provided we give you at
       least thirty (30) days' advanced notice of the date on which your
       Apartment will be ready for occupancy) or (ii) the date you move into the
       Community. Thereafter, such Monthly Charges will be payable on the first
       day of each month in advance. Any additional charges for optional
       services requested by you will be paid on the first day of each month for
       the optional services obtained during the preceding month.

       4.9 CANCELLATION OF MONTHLY CHARGES FOR APARTMENT. The Monthly Charges
       for your Apartment will continue until the earlier of (i) your death (if
       there are two of you, the death of the survivor) or (ii) the release of
       your Apartment pursuant to the provisions regarding the Community Health
       Center usage or (iii) the cancellation of this Agreement pursuant to
       Section 10 or Section 11 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
       foregoing, the Monthly Charges for your Apartment will continue at least

       two of you, the death of the survivor) or (ii) the release of your
       Apartment pursuant to the provisions regarding the Community Health
       Center usage or (iii) the cancellation of this Agreement pursuant to
       Section 10 or Section 11 of this Agreement, then we may remove and store
       such furniture and other property at the expense and risk of you and your
       estate. In the event there are two of you who occupy the Apartment and
       one of you dies, the second person fees will cease and the remaining
       person will continue to pay the first person Service Fee and Owner's
       Supervision Fee.

       4.10 CAPITAL REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND. We will establish a Community
       Capital Replacement Reserve Fund to be used only for improving or
       replacing capital items of the Community which cost over $50,000. Such
       reserve will be funded from monthly Service Fees as set forth in Section
       4.4.1. A copy of the Capital Replacement Reserve Escrow Agreement is
       available for review by you or by your advisors upon request.

5.     BENEFITS TO US OR AN AFFILIATE.

       Estate Partnership, a Maryland proprietary general partnership and an
       affiliate of ours. The Community is not affiliated with any religious or
       charitable group or association. We and The Chestnut Real Estate
       Partnership are solely responsible for all financial and contractual

8.     THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER.

       If, in the opinion of the medical director or your attending physician,

       semi-private comprehensive care bed, depending on the level of health

       (90) days for each of you if there are two of you, but the allowance
       cannot be combined and used by only one of you), except that you will pay
       the cost of the extra meals not covered by the Service Fee for your
       Apartment at the then current charge for extra meals and for any
       additional health services as described in Section 8.5. The monthly
       Service Fee for your Apartment and your Owner's Supervision Fee will
       continue as before.

       8.2 MORE THAN NINETY (90) DAYS OF HEALTH CENTER SERVICES WHEN THERE IS
       ONE OF YOU. If there is one of you, and you require health center
       services beyond the ninety (90) cumulative days and you relocate to a
       private domiciliary care bed or a semi-private comprehensive care bed in
       the Community Health Center, your Monthly Charges will depend upon
       whether you choose to release your Apartment:

                8.2.1 If you choose to release your Apartment for occupancy by
       someone else, the monthly Service Fee for your Apartment will cease.
       Monthly Charges for your health center services will be equal to the then
       current Service Fee for the one-bedroom deluxe apartment (unless your
       Service Fee for your Apartment is less in which case the lesser Service
       Fee shall apply). You will continue to pay your Owner's Supervision Fee.
       In addition, you will pay for the cost of two meals per day at the then
       current charge for extra meals and for any additional health services as
       described in Section 8.5.

                8.2.2 If you choose to not release your Apartment for occupancy
       by someone else, the monthly Service Fee for your Apartment and your
       Owner's Supervision Fee will continue. You will also pay Monthly Charges
       for your health center services which will be equal to the then current
       monthly Service Fee for the one-bedroom deluxe apartment (unless your
       Service Fee for your Apartment is less in which case the lesser Service
       Fee shall apply) plus an additional Owner's Supervision Fee. In addition,
       you will pay for the cost of one meal per day at the then current charge
       for extra meals and for any additional health services as described in
       Section 8.5.

       8.3 MORE THAN NINETY (90) DAYS OF HEALTH CENTER SERVICES WHEN THERE ARE
       TWO OF YOU. If there are two of you, and only one of you requires health
       center services beyond the ninety (90) cumulative days, and such Resident
       relocates to a private domiciliary care bed or a semi-private
       comprehensive care bed in the Community Health Center, there will be no
       additional Monthly Charges for health center services except that you
       will pay the cost of the two meals per day not covered by the Service Fee
       for your Apartment at the then current charge for extra meals and for any
       additional health services as described in Section 8.5. The monthly
       Service Fee, including the second person Service Fee, for your Apartment
       and the Owner's Supervision Fees will continue as before. If both of you
       require health center services beyond the ninety (90) cumulative days,
       and both of you relocate to a private domiciliary care bed or a
       semi-private comprehensive care bed in the Community Health Center, your
       Monthly Charges will depend upon whether you choose to release your
       Apartment:

                8.3.1 If you choose to release your Apartment for occupancy by
       someone else, the monthly Service Fee, including the second person
       Service Fee, for your Apartment will cease. Monthly Charges for your
       health center services will be equal to the then current monthly Service
       Fee, including the second person Service Fee, for the one-bedroom deluxe
       apartment (unless your Service Fees for your Apartment are less in which
       case the lesser monthly Service Fees shall apply). You will continue to
       pay your Owner's Supervision Fees. In addition, you will pay for the cost
       of four meals per day at the then current charge for extra meals and for
       any additional health services as described in Section 8.5.

                8.3.2 If you choose to not release your Apartment for occupancy
       by someone else, the monthly Service Fee, including the second person
       Service Fee, for your Apartment and your Owner's Supervision Fees will
       continue. You will also pay Monthly Charges for your health center
       services which will be equal to the then current monthly Service Fee,
       including the second person Service Fee, for the one-bedroom deluxe
       apartment (unless your Service Fees for your Apartment are less in which
       case the lesser Service Fees shall apply) plus additional Owner's
       Supervision Fees. In addition, you will pay the cost of two meals per day
       at the then current charge for extra meals and for any additional health
       services as described in Section 8.5.

       8.4 RETURN TO APARTMENT. If you have released your Apartment because you
       have moved to the Community Health Center, and if later you are able, in
       the opinion of the medical director, to return to a living unit, we will
       provide you a living unit of the same type as your Apartment as soon as
       one becomes available. Upon reoccupying such living unit, your Monthly
       Charges will be based on the then current charges for the living unit.

       8.5 ADDITIONAL HEALTH SERVICES. We may also provide special services and
       supplies in the Community Health Center such as therapy, pharmaceutical
       supplies, personal laundry, and rental of equipment. These additional
       services and supplies are not included in the Service Fees and the
       Monthly Charges for health center services, but will be available for an
       extra charge. Fees from such additional services will be used by us only
       for purposes related to the Community.

       8.6 MEDICAL DIRECTOR. We will designate a member in good standing of the
       Baltimore County Medical Society as medical director who will be
       available for emergency calls. You will be at liberty to engage the
       services of the medical director at your own expense. We will not be
       responsible for the cost of medical treatment by the medical director,
       nor will we be responsible for the cost of medicine, drugs, prescribed
       therapy, and similar additional services and supplies. If we incur or
       advance costs for your medical treatment or for medicines, drugs,
       prescribed therapy, and similar additional services and supplies (even
       though such medical care is given at the direction of your attending
       physician or the medical director without your prior approval), you will
       promptly reimburse us for such costs.

       8.7 SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE. The Community will participate in the
       Medicare program. Upon initial occupancy of your Apartment, you will
       represent that you are entitled to Medicare Part A benefits and are
       enrolled in the Medicare Part B program. Further, you will maintain,
       while you are a resident of the Community, Medicare Part A, Medicare Part
       B, and one health insurance policy to supplement Medicare or equivalent
       insurance coverage acceptable to us and, upon our request, furnish us
       copies of such policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon initial
       occupancy, you are not eligible to enroll in the Medicare program, you
       will not be required to enroll in the Medicare program until you reach
       the age of eligibility. If such coverage is not maintained by you, we may
       revoke your right to reside at the Community and cancel this Agreement as
       provided in Section 10. The Community will not participate in the
       Medicaid program, and you will not be required to apply for Medicaid as a
       condition of continued residency.

       8.8 HEALTH CENTER ADDENDUM. If required by Maryland law in connection
       with your relocation to the Community Health Center, you and we agree to
       enter into an addendum to this Agreement which more specifically
       describes the related health center services and related charges.

       8.9 EMERGENCY ENTRY AND RELOCATION. We may enter your Community Health
       Center room should it be necessary to protect your health and safety or
       the health and safety of other residents. Should it be necessary to
       modify facilities to meet requirements of the law which necessitate
       temporary vacation of your Community Health Center room, we will provide
       alternate facilities for you without additional cost within or outside
       the Community. If relocation is recommended by the medical director or
       your attending physician, we will request that you relocate to another
       Community Health Center room only for the protection of your health or
       safety or for the health or safety of the other residents of the
       Community.

9.     YOUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS.

       You may cancel this Agreement at any time by giving us written notice of
       cancellation signed by you (both of you if there are two of you) and sent
       by registered or certified mail. If you give such notice prior to your
       occupancy of the Community, cancellation will be effective as described
       in Section 2 above. If you give such notice after your occupancy of the
       Community, this Agreement will be cancelled upon the expiration of one
       hundred twenty (120) days from the date we receive such notice of
       cancellation. If you give such notice, you will pay your Monthly Charges
       until the expiration of such 120 days. Any unearned portion of your
       Entrance Fee will be refunded as provided in Section 3.1.

10.    OUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS.

       10.1 JUST CAUSE. After we have accepted you for residency, we will not
       cancel this Agreement except for just cause. Just cause is defined as:

                10.1.1     Nonpayment;

                10.1.2 Material breach of this Agree ment or the rules of the
       Community; or

                10.1.3 Health status or behavior which constitutes a substantial
       threat to your health or safety or to the health or safety of the other
       residents of the Community.

       10.2 FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. If after you have paid the Entrance Fee you
       encounter financial difficulties making it impossible for you to pay the
       full Monthly Charges, then:

                10.2.1 You shall in any case be permitted to remain at the
       Community for one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of failure to
       pay, during which time you shall continue to pay reduced Monthly Charges
       based on your current income; and

                10.2.2 Because it is and shall continue to be our declared
       policy to not cancel your residency solely by reason of your financial
       inability to pay the full Monthly Charges, you shall be permitted to
       remain at the Community at reduced Monthly Charges based on your ability
       to pay for so long as you establish facts to justify deferral of such
       charges, and the deferral of such charges can, in our sole discretion, be
       granted without impairing our ability to operate on a sound financial
       basis. The loss of revenue to the Community from any such deferral of
       charges will be borne by us and will not be charged back to other
       residents under the Fair Share Allocation. This provision shall not apply
       if you have impaired your ability to meet your financial obligations
       hereunder by making unapproved gifts or other transfers. To evidence
       these agreements based on the circumstances at the time, you agree to
       enter into a special hardship agreement with us at the time of any such
       deferrals to reflect the reduced charges currently payable and the
       interest rate to be applied to the deferrals. Any payments otherwise due
       to you from us, including the refund of your Entrance Fee, will be offset
       against any such deferred charges as provided in Section 3.3.

       10.3 NOTICE OF CANCELLATION. Prior to any cancellation of the Agreement
       by us, we will give you notice in writing of the reasons, and you will
       have sixty (60) days thereafter to correct the problem. If we determine
       that the problem is corrected within such time, this Agreement shall
       remain in effect. If we determine that the problem is not corrected
       within such time, this Agreement will be cancelled and you must leave the
       Community.

       10.4 EMERGENCY NOTICE. Notwithstanding the above, if the medical director
       determines that either the giving of notice or the waiting period
       described above might be detrimental to you or others, then such notice
       and/or waiting period shall not be required before relocation to a
       hospital or other appropriate facility. Under such circumstances, we are
       expressly authorized to transfer you to such hospital or other facility,
       and we will promptly notify your representative and your attending
       physician. Upon transferring you to such hospital or other facility, we
       will immediately provide you with a notice of cancellation. This
       Agreement shall be cancelled sixty (60) days following notice, unless
       your condition improves and you are subsequently readmitted to the
       Community.

11.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR APARTMENT.

       11.1 USE OF APARTMENT. The Apartment is for living only and shall not be
       used for carrying on any business or profession, nor in any manner in
       violation of zoning restrictions.

       11.2 DURATION OF YOUR RIGHT TO OCCUPY THE APARTMENT. You may reside in
       your Apartment for as long as you live unless you are not capable of
       maintaining yourself in independent living in the Apartment or this
       Agreement is cancelled by you or by us. If, in the opinion of the medical
       director or your attending physician, your physical or mental health
       requires that health center services be given, you will be requested to
       relocate to the Community Health Center where we are licensed to provide
       such care. You will not be requested to relocate to the Community Health
       Center unless necessary for your health or safety or the health or safety
       of others. If there are no beds available in the Community Health Center,
       you will be requested to relocate to another health facility with which
       we will contract to provide health center services. You will continue to
       pay the applicable Monthly Charges to us, and you will be relocated to
       the Community Health Center as soon as a bed is available.

       11.3 OCCUPANCY OF APARTMENT. Except as hereinafter provided, no person
       other than you may occupy the Apartment except with our express written
       approval. In the event that a second person who is not a party to this
       Agreement is accepted for residency under this Agreement at a time
       subsequent to the date hereof (said acceptance to be in accordance with
       our then current admission policies), you shall pay the then current
       second person Admission Fee as determined by us, and each month
       thereafter, you shall pay the then current additional Monthly Charges
       for second persons. If such second person does not meet the requirements
       for residency, such second person will not be permitted to occupy the
       Apartment for more than thirty (30) days (except with our express written
       approval), and you may cancel this Agreement as provided in Section 9.

       11.4 EMERGENCY ENTRY AND RELOCATION. We may enter your Apartment should
       it be necessary in an emergency to protect your health and safety or the
       health and safety of other residents. Should it be necessary to modify
       facilities to meet requirements of the law which necessitate temporary
       vacation of your Apartment, we will provide alternate facilities for you
       without additional cost within or outside the Community. If relocation is
       recommended by the medical director or your attending physician, we will
       request that you relocate to another living unit within the Community or
       to the Community Health Center only for the protection of your health or
       safety or for the health or safety of the other residents of the
       Community.

       11.5 FURNISHINGS. Furnishings within the Apartment will not be provided
       by us.

       Furnishings provided by you shall not be such as to interfere with the
       health or safety of other residents or others.

       11.6 ALTERATIONS BY YOU. You may not undertake any alterations to your
       Apartment without our prior written approval.

       11.7 REFURBISHMENT. Customary and normal refurbishment costs of your
       Apartment will be borne by all residents of the Community under the Fair
       Share Allocation. Any necessary refur bishment costs beyond those which
       are customary and normal will be paid by you.

12.    AMENDMENTS.

       12.1 THIS AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be amended by agreement of the
       parties to this Agreement.

       12.2 ALL AGREEMENTS. In addition, with the approval of not less than
       eighty percent (80%) of the residents of the living units in the
       Community and us, any designated residency agreements, which may include
       this Agreement, may be amended in any respect upon receipt of evidence of
       any required regulatory approval; provided, however, that no such
       amendment shall:

                12.2.1 Reduce the aforesaid number of residents which is
       required to consent to any such amendment; or

                12.2.2 Permit the preference or priority of any resident without
       the consent of each resident.

       Upon our approval and upon our receipt of evidence of the approval of not
       less than eighty percent (80%) of such residents as aforesaid, such
       amendment shall be effective and any designated residency agreements,
       which may include this Agreement, shall automatically be amended.
       Accordingly, any of the terms of this Agreement may be amended, including
       the scope and type of services provided, upon our approval and approval
       of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the residents of the living
       units.

       13.2 SEPARABILITY. The invalidity of any restriction, condition, or other
       provision of this Agreement, or any part of the same, shall not impair or
       affect in any way the validity or enforceability of the rest of this
       Agreement.

       13.3 CAPACITY. This Agreement has been executed on our behalf by our duly
       authorized agent and no officer, director, agent, or employee shall have
       any personal liability to you hereunder under any circumstances.

       13.4 RESIDENT. When Resident consists of more than one person, the rights
       and obligations of each are joint and several, except as the context
       otherwise requires.

       13.5 NATURE OF RIGHTS. You understand and agree that (i) this Agreement
       or your rights (including the use of the Apartment) under it may not be
       assigned, and no rights or benefits under this Agreement shall inure to
       the benefit of your heirs, legatees, assignees, or representatives,
       except as to refunds of the amounts described in Section 2 and 3; (ii)

       exist and continue to exist during your lifetime unless cancelled as

       remedies as set forth herein; (iv) this Agreement is not a lease or
       easement and does not transfer or grant you any interest in real
       property; and (v) this Agreement grants to us complete decision-making

       13.6 RELEASE. We are not responsible for loss of or damage to your
       personal property, unless such loss or damage is caused by our negligent
       acts or omissions of our agents or employees, and you hereby release us
       from any such liability. You may want to obtain at your own expense
       insurance to protect against such losses.

       13.7 INDEMNITY. We shall not be liable for, and you agree to indemnify,
       defend, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses,
       including attorneys' fees and court costs, resulting from any injury or
       death to persons and any damages to property to the extent caused by,
       resulting from, attributable to, or in any way connected with your
       negligent or intentional act or omission.

       13.8 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and any addenda or exhibits hereto
       contain our entire understanding with respect to your residency.

       13.9 TAX CONSEQUENCES. Each person considering executing this Agreement

       associated with this Agreement.

       13.10 TRANSFERS. We may from time to time issue additional equity
       interests or sell or transfer interest in the Community, provided that in
       such latter event the buyer shall agree to assume this Agreement and all
       other existing residency agreements. In addition, we may sell or
       otherwise transfer the land or other portions of the Community and lease
       back such land or other portions. Your signature hereto constitutes your
       consent and approval to any such future transfer.

       13.11 LAW CHANGES. If changes are made in any of the statutes or
       regulations applicable to the Community prior to the completion of
       construction of the Community, we shall have the right to cancel this

       the law.

       13.12 RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION. Residents shall have the right to organize

       Association.

       13.13 ARBITRATION. Except for your statutory right to bring an action for
       recovery in any court of general jurisdiction for injuries arising out of
       our violation of the provisions of Article 70B of the Annotated Code of
       Maryland as described in Section 13.16, any dispute, claim, or
       controversy of any kind between you and us arising out of, in connection
       with, or relating to this Agreement and any amendment hereof, or the
       breach hereof, which cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, will be
       submitted to and determined by arbitration in Towson, Maryland in
       accordance with the then current commercial arbitration rules of the
       American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that you and we will
       each be required to submit a proposed resolution of such dispute or
       controversy to the arbitrator, and the arbitrator will be required to
       render a decision adopting, in full, either one or the other of such
       proposed resolutions, and no compromises or alternative resolutions shall
       be allowed or considered by the arbitrator. Both you and we will be bound
       by the arbitrator's decision, and judgment upon such decision may be
       entered in any federal or state court having jurisdiction unless the
       arbitration is fraudulent or so grossly erroneous as to necessarily imply
       bad faith. You and we will jointly agree on an arbitrator. If you and we
       are unable to agree in good faith and within a reasonable time on the
       selection of an arbitrator, either you or we may request appointment of
       an arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association. Costs of
       arbitration, including our legal costs and attorneys' fees, arbitrators'
       fees, and similar costs, will be borne by all residents of the Community
       under the Fair Share Allocation provided that the arbitrator may choose
       to award the costs of arbitration against us if the arbitrator determines
       that the proposed resolution urged by us was not reasonable. Any direct
       arbitration costs incurred by you will be borne by you. If the issue
       affects more than one resident, we may elect to join all affected
       residents into a single arbitration proceeding, and you hereby consent to
       such joinder.

       13.14 RESIDENT REPRESENTATIONS. By executing this Agreement, you
       represent and warrant that you are capable of independent living, free of
       communicable disease, and have assets and income which are sufficient
       under foreseeable circumstances and after provision for payment of your
       obligations under this Agreement to meet your ordinary and customary
       living expenses after assuming occupancy, and that all written
       representations made to us with respect to such matters by you or on your
       behalf on the Confidential Data Application or otherwise are true.

       13.15 FEE ADJUSTMENTS FOR ABSENCES. No fee adjustments for absences from
       the Community will be made, except at our sole discretion.

       13.16 LEGAL REMEDIES. Residents of facilities such as the Community are
       protected by the provisions of Article 70B of the Annotated Code of
       Maryland, which provides that residents injured by violation of that
       subtitle may bring an action for the recovery of damages in any court of
       general jurisdiction, and the award may include reasonable attorneys'
       fees in the event of a favorable judgment. In addition, residents injured
       by a violation of that subtitle, or the Maryland Office on Aging on
       behalf of any resident, may institute an action for an appropriate
       temporary restraining order or injunction. Any injured resident, or the
       Maryland Office on Aging on behalf of any injured resident, may petition
       for the appointment of a receiver in the event of a threat of immediate
       closure of a facility or if the provider is not honoring its contracts
       with its residents or to prohibit the diversion of assets and records
       from the facility or the State of Maryland.

       13.17 FUNERAL AND BURIAL SERVICES. No funeral or burial services or
       expenses are provided by us pursuant to this Agreement.

       13.18 CERTIFIED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Upon request, we will make
       available to you any certified financial statements transmitted to the
       Maryland Office on Aging as required by Article 70B of the Annotated Code
       of Maryland.

A PRELIMINARY OR FINAL CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OR
GUARANTEE OF THIS FACILITY BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND. THE MARYLAND OFFICE ON
AGING URGES YOU TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY AND A SUITABLE FINANCIAL ADVISOR

of Maryland.

         WHEREAS, in order to protect the residents of Blakehurst - Phase I (the
"Resident") the parties have entered into this Agreement setting forth the terms
and provisions under which certain deposits will be made with the Escrow Agent.

         WHEREAS, this Agreement amends and restates the Admission Fee Escrow

         2. The Partnership expects to receive a deposit of a portion of an
entrance fee (the "Deposit") from each prospective resident of Blakehurst Phase
I at the time of execution of a Residency Agreement. The Partnership will accept
such Deposit in the form of a check from a Resident made payable to the Escrow
Agent, and will deposit the same in an escrow account maintained by the Escrow
Agent (the "Escrow Account") as soon as practicable in the ordinary course of
business.

         3. The Escrow Agent shall maintain each Deposit described in Section 2
of this Agreement in the name of the Resident in the Escrow Account separate and
apart from any funds of the Partnership.

         4. The Partnership represents to the Escrow Agent that it will furnish
to each Resident of Blakehurst - Phase I, a written receipt of the Deposit made
by the Resident in the form of a fully executed Residency Agreement signed by
the Partnership and the Resident.

         5. The Escrow Agent agrees to the following: (a) upon request of the
Partnership, to issue a statement indicating the status of the Escrow Account
maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement; (b) upon request of a
Resident, to issue a statement indicating the status of such Resident's balance
in the Escrow Account maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement;
and (c) to furnish the Partnership with a monthly statement indicating the
amount of any disbursements from or deposits to the Escrow Account during the
monthly period covered by the statement.

         6. If the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Partnership of
an election by the Resident to rescind his or her obligations under the
Residency Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall return such Deposit directly to the
Resident (or the estate of the Resident, if the Resident is deceased), in the
amount specified by the Partnership and in accordance with the Partnership's
written instruction. The Escrow Agent shall promptly refer to the Partnership
any and all communications or requests for refunds received directly from
Residents.

         7. If the Resident does not elect to rescind his or her obligations
under the Residency Agreement, the Deposit shall thereafter continue to be held
by the Escrow Agent, together with like Deposits from other Residents, subject
to the following terms:

                  7.1 Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of written notice from
         the Partnership, but in any event no less often than monthly, the
         Escrow Agent shall forthwith release to the Partnership all income and
         gains from investment activity;

                  7.2 Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of written notice from

         earned by the Partnership as set forth in the Residency Agreement shall
         be distributed to the Partnership;

         the Partnership, release to the Partnership the Deposits deposited with
         the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, together with any earnings
         thereon; and

                  7.4 The Escrow Agent shall invest the funds held by it from
         time to time in such obligations of the United States or its agencies
         (or in the shares of a registered investment company, including those
         of the Escrow Agent or its affiliates, which holds a portfolio of such
         securities), or such certificates of deposit, savings accounts, or
         similar savings or investment securities of the Escrow Agent as the
         Partnership may direct in writing. The interest and dividends earned on
         the Deposits shall be for the account of the Partnership.

         that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice, or
         instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly

to indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims,

         This AMENDED AND RESTATED HEALTH CENTER RESIDENT LOANS ESCROW AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is made effective as of July 18th, 1996, by and between THE
CHESTNUT PARTNERSHIP, a Maryland general partnership (the "Partnership"), and
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF MARYLAND, a national banking association (the "Escrow
Agent").

         This Agreement amends and restates the Health Center Resident Loans
Escrow Agreement for Blakehurst dated August 2, 1993 between the Partnership and
Maryland National Bank, the Previous Escrow Agent (the "Prior Agreement")
relating to the escrowing of resident loans. The Partnership and Escrow Agent
wish by this Agreement to supersede and replace the Prior Agreement.

                                    RECITALS:

         WHEREAS, the Partnership is the sponsor of a life-care retirement
community known as Blakehurst (the "Community") located in Towson, Maryland.

         WHEREAS, this Agreement applies to all Return of Capital residency
agreements ("Residency Agreement(s)"), as amended from time to time, which may
be entered into between the Partnership and any resident of Blakehurst
("Resident"); and

         WHEREAS, in order to protect a Resident of Blakehurst who has
transferred to the community's health center (the "Community Health Center") and
who has released his/her apartment for reoccupancy, the parties desire to enter
into this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the terms under which certain
deposits will be made with the Escrow Agent for the purpose of maintaining an
escrow account (the "Escrow Account") to secure Loan (as hereinafter defined)
payments when a Resident is assigned to the Community Health Center and releases
his/her apartment for reoccupancy.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and mutual promises
herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:

         1. PRIOR AGREEMENT. All loans held by the Previous Escrow Agent
pursuant to the Prior Agreement shall become subject to the terms of this
Agreement.

         2. LOAN. In accordance with Section 9.4 of the Residency Agreements,
the Partnership shall deposit an amount equal to the amount of the Resident's
loan (the "Loan"), upon the Resident's transfer to the Community Health Center,
release of the Resident's apartment, and reoccupancy of the apartment by a new
resident. Such deposit will be specifically identified with the Resident's Loan,
although the funds will be maintained jointly with other similar deposits held
in escrow for all residents of the Community Health Center whose apartments have
been released and reoccupied.

         3. PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES. Any deposit in the Escrow Account will be
subject only to those encumbrances ("Permitted Encumbrances") to which the
deposit was subject at the time it is deposited in the Escrow Account.

         4. ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Escrow Agent shall maintain all such deposits
made to the Escrow Account separate and apart from any other funds of the
Partnership, and deposits will be specifically indentified with the Resident's
Loan. The Partnership will be entitled to all earnings on such deposits, as
provided in paragraph 7.2 of this Agreement. Earnings from such Escrow Account
will be used by the Partnership only for purposes related to the Community.

         5. INVESTMENTS. The Escrow Agent shall invest all amounts held by it
from time to time in such obligations of the United States or its agencies (or
in shares of a registered investment company, including those of the Escrow
Agent or its affiliates, which holds a portfolio of such securities) or in such
certificates of deposit, savings accounts, or other savings or investment
securities as the Partnership may from time to time direct in writing.

         6. REPORTS. The Escrow Agent agrees, upon the request of the
Partnership, to issue a statement indicating the status of the Escrow Account
maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. In any event, Escrow
Agent agrees to provide monthly reports to the Partnership, which shall include
a summary of all additions to and disbursements from the Escrow Account during
the current period, and which shall provide details of the investments
comprising the balance in the Escrow Account as of the end of the current
period.

         7. DISBURSEMENTS. The Escrow Agent shall release any amounts then held
by it in the Escrow Account in accordance with the following terms:

                  7.1 DISBURSEMENT TO RESIDENT. In order to cause a disbursement
         from the Escrow Account pursuant to this paragraph 7.1, the Partnership
         shall deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent and shall provide a
         copy of such written notice to the Resident or the Resident's estate or
         trust at the same time that it is provided to the Escrow Agent. The
         written notice shall contain the following: (1) a statement that the
         Residency Agreement has been cancelled; (2) the date of such
         cancellation; (3) the amount of the Loan; (4) the amount of setoff, if
         any, for amounts owed to the Partnership by the Resident, and the basis
         upon which the Partnership is owed such setoff amounts; (5) the amount
         payable to the Resident or the Resident's estate or trust; (6) the
         specific name of the Resident or person or entity representing the
         Resident's estate or trust to whom disbursement is to be made, with
         direction as to the manner of delivery of the disbursement to be
         employed, which may include delivery to the Partnership for immediate
         delivery to the Resident or the Resident's estate or trust; and (7) a
         certificate of an officer of the Partnership that such payment does not
         contravene any agreement to which the Partnership is a party or by
         which it is bound. The Escrow Agent shall, on the tenth (10) business
         day after receipt of such notice, disburse to the Resident or the
         Resident's estate or trust, an amount equal to the amount of the Loan
         less the amount of setoff, and shall disburse to the Partnership an
         amount equal to the setoff, unless the Escrow Agent has received notice
         in writing from the Resident or the Resident's estate or trust
         disputing the amount to be disbursed. If a notice is received by the
         Escrow Agent from the Resident or the Resident's estate or trust that a
         dispute exists with respect to the amount to be disbursed to the
         Resident or the Resident's estate or trust, and/or to the Partnership,
         the Escrow Agent shall pay all amounts associated with any dispute into
         any federal or state court located in Baltimore County, Maryland, to be
         disbursed thereafter as the Partnership and the Resident or the
         Resident's estate or trust may agree, by notice to the Escrow Agent as
         signed by both parties, or as the Court may determine. The Escrow Agent
         shall promptly provide the Partnership with written notice of any
         disbursement pursuant to this paragraph 7.1.

                  7.2 DISBURSEMENTS TO PARTNERSHIP. All rights to any earnings
         on funds held in the Escrow Account shall inure to the benefit of the
         Partnership, and the Escrow Agent shall release to the Partnership any
         earnings held in the Escrow Account within ten (10) days after the end
         of each month. In accordance with Section 9.4 of the Residency
         Agreements, such earnings will be used by the Partnership only for
         purposes related to the Community.

                  7.3 ESCROW AGENT'S RECORDS. If the records of the Escrow Agent
         do not conform to the records of the Partnership, the records of the
         Escrow Agent shall control.

         8. DUTIES. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as
are expressly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be
inferred or otherwise imposed upon or against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent
may act in reliance upon any writing, notice (under paragraph 7 or otherwise) or
instrument under signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine; may
assume the validity, accuracy, and completeness of any statement or assertion
contained in any such writing, notice or instrument; and may assume that any
person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice, or instruction in
connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The
Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or
correctness as to form or manner of execution or validity of any instrument
deposited with or delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, nor as to the
identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same. The duties of
the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be limited to the safekeeping of the deposits
and other money, instruments, or other documents received by it as Escrow Agent
and for its investment and for disposition of the same in accordance with this
Agreement and other written instructions accepted by the Escrow Agent from the
Partnership.

         9. INDEMNITY. The Partnership hereby agrees to indemnify the Escrow
Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses,
actions, suits, or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees,
or charges of any character or nature, which it may incur or with which it may
be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement,
unless caused by the Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence; and
in connection therewith, to indemnify the Escrow Agent against any and all
expenses, including attorneys' fees and the cost of defending any action, suit,
or proceeding or resisting any claim.

         10. TERMINATION. The Escrow Agent may resign or be terminated upon the
earlier of thirty (30) days' written notice thereof to the other party, or five
(5) business days from the date of appointment of a successor escrow agent.
Promptly upon notice of resignation of the Escrow Agent, the Partnership shall
appoint a successor Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall deliver any funds in
the Escrow Account either to a successor escrow agent or, if there is any
dispute with respect thereto, or if no successor escrow agent has been
appointed, to any federal or state court in Baltimore County, Maryland. The
successor escrow agent shall also be required to have its principal place of
business in Maryland. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed within the
30-day period, the Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to name a successor. Until a successor escrow agent has been appointed, the
Escrow Agent shall be discharged of all of its duties hereunder save to assign
the funds in the Escrow Account to a successor escrow agent.

         11. FEES. In consideration of the services rendered by the Escrow Agent
hereunder, the Partnership agrees to pay to the Escrow Agent its usual and
customary fees for services as Escrow Agent, including reimbursement for any
expenses, disbursements and advances, and reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by
it in connection with the carrying out of its duties hereunder. Fees for any
additional or extraordinary services may be agreed upon by the Partnership and
the Escrow Agent.

         12. EMPLOYMENT OF COUNSEL. The Escrow Agent may engage counsel (who may
be counsel to the Partnership) and may rely upon counsel in connection with any
matter under this Escrow Agreement.

of payment prior to payment of any other amounts payable hereunder upon, and the
Partnership hereby grants a security interest to the Escrow Agent in, all moneys
in the Escrow Agent's possession hereunder, for all charges, advances, fees,
costs and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent.

         14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed according to the
laws of the State of Maryland.

         15. AMENDMENTS. The parties to the Agreement may amend this Agreement
at any time upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof, provided,
however, no amendment shall (i) diminish or otherwise affect the rights and
protections of the Escrow Agent (ii) require any additional duties of the Escrow
Agent, without its written consent.

                                  ADMISSION FEE
                           ESCROW AGREEMENT - PHASE II
                           (THE CHESTNUT PARTNERSHIP)


         THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT is made this 24th day of April 1996, by and
between THE CHESTNUT PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership") and THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF MARYLAND, a National Banking Association (the "Escrow Agent").

         WHEREAS, the Partnership is the owner of a life-care retirement
community known as "Blakehurst," located in Baltimore County, Maryland, and is a
"provider" within the meaning of s 7 of Article 70B of the Annotated Code of
Maryland.

         WHEREAS, in order to comply with s 10(c) of Article 70B of the
Annotated Code of Maryland and to protect the residents of Blakehurst - Phase II
(the "Resident") the parties have entered into this Escrow Agreement setting
forth the terms and provisions under which certain deposits will be made with
the Escrow Agent.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set
forth, the parties agree as follows:

         1. The Partnership expects to receive a deposit of a portion of an
entrance fee from each Resident of Blakehurst - Phase II (the "Deposit") at the
time of execution of a Residency Agreement. Attached hereto as Exhibits A and B
and incorporated herein by reference are copies of the Residency Agreements
which will be entered into between the Partnership and a Resident of Blakehurst
- - Phase II. The Partnership will accept such Deposit in the form of a check from
a Resident made payable to the Escrow Agent, and will deposit the same in an
escrow account maintained by the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Account") as soon as
practicable in the ordinary course of business.

         2. The Escrow Agent shall maintain each Deposit described in Section 1
of this Agreement in the name of the Resident in the Escrow Account separate and
apart from any funds of the Partnership until the following events have
occurred: (a) the Maryland Office on Aging issues a final certificate of
registration to the Partnership for Blakehurst - Phase II; (b) construction of
Blakehurst - Phase II is completed; (c) a certificate of occupancy, or its
equivalent, has been issued for Blakehurst - Phase II by the appropriate local
Jurisdiction and (d) the appropriate licenses or certificates have been issued
for Blakehurst - Phase II by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene or by
the Maryland Office on Aging.

         3. The Partnership represents to the Escrow Agent that it will furnish
to each Resident of Blakehurst - Phase II, a written receipt of the Deposit made
by the Resident in the form of a fully executed Residency Agreement signed by
the Partnership and the Resident.

         4. The Escrow Agent agrees to the following: (a) upon request of the
Partnership or the Maryland Office on Aging, to issue a statement indicating the
status of the Escrow Account maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this
Escrow Agreement; (b) upon request of a Resident, to issue a statement
indicating the status of such Resident's balance in the Escrow Account
maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Escrow Agreement; and (c) to
furnish the Partnership with a monthly statement indicating the amount of any
disbursements from or deposits to the Escrow Account during the monthly period
covered by the statement.

         5. If the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Partnership of
an election by the Resident to rescind his or her obligations under the
Residency Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall return such Deposit directly to the
Resident in the amount specified by the Partnership and in accordance with the
Partnership's written instruction. The Escrow Agent shall rely solely on such
instruction and shall not be responsible for verifying its correctness.

         6. If the Resident does not elect to rescind his or her obligations
under the Residency Agreement, the Deposit shall thereafter continue to be held
by the Escrow Agent, together with like Deposits from other Residents, subject
to the following terms:

                  (a) In the event that the Maryland Office on Aging does not
         grant the Partnership a final certificate of registration within the
         maximum time permitted by the Maryland Office on Aging (as may be
         extended from time to time), the Escrow Agent shall return each Deposit
         to the Resident in accordance with the Partnership's written
         instruction.

                  (b) At such time as the Partnership meets the requirements for
         withdrawal of Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of a copy
         of the written approval of withdrawal of deposits issued by the
         Maryland Office on Aging, release all Deposits to the Partnership in
         accordance with the Partnership's written instruction.

                  (c) The Escrow Agent shall invest the funds held by it from
         time to time in such obligations of the United States or its agencies
         (or in the shares of a registered investment company which holds a
         portfolio of such securities), or such certificates of deposit, savings
         accounts, or similar savings or investment securities of the Escrow
         Agent as the Partnership may direct in writing. Except as set forth in
         Subsection 6(d) of this Agreement, the interest and dividends earned on
         the Deposits shall be for the account of the Partnership.

                  (d) In the event a Resident's apartment is not available for
         occupancy within three (3) year's after the date of the Resident's
         Residency Agreement, the Resident or the Partnership may cancel this
         Agreement upon written notice to the other party. If the Escrow Agent
         receives written notice from the Partnership of such cancellation, the
         Escrow Agent shall return the Resident's Deposit directly to the
         Resident, along with interest at the net rate earned on such Deposit,
         in accordance with the Partnership's written instruction.

         7. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are
expressly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be
inferred or otherwise imposed upon or against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent
may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument under signature which it, in
good faith, believes to be genuine, may assume the validity and accuracy of any
statement or assertion contained in any such writing or instrument, and may
assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice, or
instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to
do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or
correctness as to form or manner of execution or validity of any instrument
deposited with or delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, nor as to the
identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same. The duties of
the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be limited to the safekeeping of the Deposits
and other money, instruments, or other documents received by it as Escrow Agent,
for disposition of the same in accordance with the written instruction accepted
by it as Escrow Agent, and the reporting requirements specified under Section 4
hereof.

         8. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Partnership hereby agrees
to indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims,
liabilities or losses, or any other expense, fees or charges of any character or
nature, which it may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its
acting as Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement, unless caused by its willful
misconduct or negligence; and in connection therewith, to indemnify the Escrow
Agent against any and all expenses, including attorneys' fees and the cost of
defending any action, suit, or proceeding or resisting any claim.

         9. The Escrow Agent may resign or be terminated upon thirty (30) days'
written notice thereof to the other party, subject to the appointment of its
successor by the Partnership within such thirty (30) day period. If a successor
escrow agent is not appointed by the Partnership within the thirty (30) day
period, the Escrow Agent may petition the court to appoint a successor. Upon the
appointment of such successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent agrees to delivery
to such successor escrow agent all funds and documents in its possession within
thirty (30) days from the date of notice of termination or resignation, or (5)
five business days from the date of appointment of the successor escrow agent,
whichever shall later occur.

         10. In consideration of the services rendered by the Escrow Agent
hereunder, the Partnership agrees to pay to the Escrow Agent the following fees:

         (a)      Initial review and set-up fee:           $ 500.00

         (b)      Annual administration fee:               1,000.00

                      AMENDMENT #2 TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

         This Amendment #2 to Development Agreement ("Amendment #2") is made and
entered into as of the 30 day of October, 1996, by and between The Chestnut
Partnership (the "Owner"), Life Care Services Corporation ("LCS"), LCS
Development Corp ("LCSD") (a subsidiary of LCS), Rosedale Care, Inc. and
Continental Care, Inc.

         WHEREAS the Owner and LCS entered into a Development Agreement dated
June 3, 1988 (the "Agreement") for certain enumerated services to be provided by
LCS at the retirement facility located in Baltimore, Maryland known as
"Blakehurst" (the "Project"); and

         WHEREAS the Agreement was amended on December 31, 1994 ("Amendment
#1"), wherein Rosedale Care, Inc. and Continental Care, Inc. became Parties to
the Agreement for certain purposes relating to Phase II of the Project; and

         WHEREAS the Parties desire to amend the Agreement as it relates to
Phase III of the Project to provide that LCSD shall provide development services
for Phase III of the Project, more specifically described as the addition of 35
apartment units over a 19-car parking garage, an enclosed swimming pool with
support facilities, 12 surface garages with 31 surface parking spaces near the
new residential wing and 27 surface parking spaces near the health center
("Phase III").

         WHEREAS LCS was incorporated under the laws of the state of Missouri at
the time the Agreement was executed, and subsequently was reincorporated under
the laws of the state of Iowa, and is acknowledged by the parties to be the
successor to all rights and obligations of LCS under the Agreement, Amendment #1
and this Amendment #2.

         NOW THEREFORE, the parties do hereby agree that the Agreement is hereby
amended as follows:

LCSD shall provide all necessary services as contemplated in the Agreement to
develop Phase III of the Project with the following revisions:

1.       The first sentence in paragraph 5.3 of Article V is deleted and the
         following is substituted therefor: "Mullan Contracting shall perform
         the construction management services for the Project."

2.       Paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 of Article VIII are deleted and the following
         are substituted therefor: "8.1 In consideration for the performance of
         the planning and development, arranging for financing, occupancy
         development, arranging for design and construction, and bookkeeping
         services contemplated in Articles II, III, IV, V and VI hereof, in
         connection with Phase III of the Project, the Owner agrees to pay LCSD
         a development fee ("Development Fee") equal in amount to $585,000
         broken into two segments, a progress fee ("Progress Fee") and a
         performance fee ("Performance Fee"). As more particularly described
         hereafter, the Progress Fee shall be payable based on the percent of
         development activity complete and will not be at risk, and the
         Performance Fee will be payable based on Project performance and will
         be at risk depending on the successful delivery of the Project. The
         schedule for payment for both fee segments shall be as set forth in
         paragraph 8.2, following:


         8.2. Subject to paragraph 8.1 above, the Progress Fee and Performance
         Fee shall be earned and paid as follows:

                  8.2.1 PROGRESS FEE. Fifty percent (50%) of the total
                  Development Fee, or $292,500, shall be allocated to the
                  Progress Fee, which shall be earned and paid as follows:

                  -   fifty percent (50%), or $146,250, shall be paid on the
                      date of the initial disbursement of the construction loan
                      for Phase III.

                  -   thirty-five percent (35%), or $102,375, shall be paid
                      monthly during construction of Phase III, payable
                      commensurate with the percentage of completion of
                      construction of Phase III.

                  -   fifteen percent (15%) or $43,875, shall be paid monthly
                      commensurate with the percentage of occupancy of Phase III
                      up to approximately ninety-two percent (92%) first time
                      closings (32 units), at which time the balance of the
                      Progress Fee shall be paid.

                  8.2.2 PERFORMANCE FEE. The Performance Fee shall be fifty
                  percent (50%) of the total fee, or $292,500. The Performance
                  Fee, however, shall be based on the total financial outcome of
                  the Project at completion of Phase III compared to the
                  financial outcome projected initially in the Base Capital Cost
                  Budget as defined below. To measure financial performance a
                  spread calculation will be utilized. The spread shall be the
                  difference between total Poject revenues (i.e., entrance fees,
                  cancellation penalties, garage fees, etc.) and total Project
                  costs (i.e., construction cost, interest expense, start-up
                  loss, etc., excluding increases or decreases to Reserves) as
                  identified in the Base Capital Cost Budget as adjusted by
                  agreement of the parties. If the spread remaining at the end
                  of the Project is equal to or greater than the spread
                  projected in the Base Capital Cost Budget at the beginning of
                  the Project, LCSD will earn and shall be paid the full
                  Performance Fee ($292,500). If the spread at the end of the
                  Project is less than the spread projected in the Base Capital
                  Cost Budget of at the beginning of the Project, LCSD will earn
                  a lower Performance Fee, reduced dollar for dollar, up to a
                  maximum of $292,500, which is the full amount of LCSD's
                  Performance Fee. For spread calculation purposes, if the Owner
                  elects to sell contracts other than 90% return of capital
                  ("ROC") contracts, the "lost" revenue from those sales shall
                  not affect the calculation of the Performance Fee. The Base
                  Capital Cost Budget projects all sales to occur as 90% ROC
                  contracts.

                  The Performance Fee shall be earned and paid as follows:

                  Performance shall be measured by comparing the spread of the
                  capital cost budget initially approved at the start of
                  construction ("Base Capital Cost Budget") with the spread of
                  an updated budget prepared at the following Project
                  milestones: (i) close of financing/construction start, (ii)
                  construction completion/first occupancy, and (iii) achievement
                  of 32 first time closings. The Base Capital Cost Budget is
                  attached hereto as Exhibit A. From the Base Capital Cost
                  Budget, the initial spread calculation shall be performed as
                  follows:

                      Total Project Revenues                       $  9,774,000
                      Less Total Project Costs Excluding Reserves   $11,104,200
                                                                    -----------
                      Initial Spread Calculation                   ($ 1,330,200)

                  At each of the three milestone comparisons, an updated spread
                  calculation will be performed comparing total Project revenue
                  to total Project cost. The updated spread calculation will
                  then be compared against the initial spread calculation to
                  determine what, if any, Performance Fees are to be paid.

                  If the spread calculation performed at each milestone update
                  meets or exceeds the initial spread calculation, the following
                  Performance Fees shall be earned and paid at that time:

                  *   Milestone #1 - close of financing/construction start
                      -    fifty percent (50%) or $146,250

                  *   Milestone #2 - construction completion/first occupancy
                      -    thirty-five percent (35%) or $102,375

                  *   Milestone #3 - achievement of 32 first time closings
                      fifteen percent (15%) or $43,875

                  If the spread calculation performed at any milestone update is
                  less than the initial spread calculation, the Performance Fee
                  calculated shall be reduced dollar for dollar by that amount
                  up to an aggregate maximum of $292,500.

                  The following example calculation simulates the three
                  milestone spread calculations.

               1. Calculation @ Milestone #1 - Close of Financing/Construction Start 
                  Spread = ($1,300,000) 
                  Since ($1,300,000) is an improvement from the initial spread of ($1,330,200), full 
                  progress Performance Fee earned and paid at this time.
                  Performance Progress Fee = $292,500 x 50% = $146,250

               2. Calculation @ Milestone #2 - Construction Completion/First Occupancy 
                  Spread = ($1,500,000) 
                  Actual Spread vs. Initial Spread Variance=($1,500,000)-($1,330,200)= ($169,800) 
                  Net Fee Remaining for Fee Calculation = $292,500 - $169,800 = $122,700
                  Performance Progress Fee = $122,700 x 85% = $104,295 
                  Net Performance Progress Fees = 
                  $104,295 - $146,250 (fees paid previously) = ($41,955) 
                  Therefore, LCSD to pay back $41,955 at this time.

               3. Calculation @ Milestone #3 - Achievement of 32 First Time Closings 
                  Assumptions: 4 traditional contract sales this period with lost revenue of $300,000 
                  Spread = ($1,600,000) 
                  Revised Spread due to traditional contracts = 
                  ($1,600,000) + $300,000 (lost traditional contract revenue) = ($1,300,000) 
                  Since ($1,300,000) is an improvement from the initial spread of ($1,330,200), 
                  full final Performance Fee earned = $292,500
                  Final Performance Fee Payment =$292,500-$104,295 (fees paid previously) =$188,205

               Development Fee."

3.       The last sentence of Section 8.4 as added by Amendment #1 shall not
         apply to Phase III.

4.       References in the Agreement to LCS shall be deemed to refer to LCSD for

Work through the use of subcontractors. The division of Work into subcontract
bid packages shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor shall
award subcontracts to the lowest qualified bidders. The Owner shall have the
right to review all subcontract proposals, participate in value engineering for
the project, and review the Contractor's estimate for the Guaranteed Maximum
Cost.

2.2 The only exceptions to this method of performing Work shall be as follows:

         2.2.1 Contractor may purchase materials directly for installation by a
subcontractor.

         2.2.2 Contractor may perform work directly with his own labor forces in
the event he determines that acceptance of the lowest subcontract in a given
division would not be in the Owner's best interests, upon prior notice to and
approval by the Owner.

         2.2.3 Contractor may perform general conditions and service functions,
such as hoisting, clean-up, construction of protective devices, preparation and
maintenance of access, watchmen, temporary structures, water boys and layout.

expediting, and full-time supervision of the Work. The use of subcontractors
shall in no way relieve the Contractor from responsibility for satisfactory
performance of the Work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The
Contractor recognizes the relationship of trust and confidence established
between him and the Owner by this Agreement. He covenants with the Owner to
furnish his best skill and judgment and to cooperate with the Architect and the
Owner in furthering the interests of the Owner. If requested by the Owner, the
Contractor shall provide in favor of the Owner standard payment and performance
bonds in a amount equal to the Contract Sum.

                                    ARTICLE 3

4.1 In consideration for the performance of the Work, the Owner agrees to pay
the Contractor, in current funds:

     4.1.1 Contractor's fee which will be five percent (5%) of the estimated
         cost of the Work. The fee will be converted to a lump sum at the time
         that the Guaranteed Maximum Cost is established.

     4.1.2 The total of the Contractor's Reimbursable Costs as defined in
         Article 6 less any discounts, rebates or refunds which accrue to the
         Owner pursuant to Article 7, provided that the total of such
         Contractor's Reimbursable Costs less such discounts, rebates, and
         refunds shall not exceed the amount mutually agreed upon by the parties
         hereto which amount, as may be modified pursuant to Article 5 herein,
         shall be referred to hereinafter as the Guaranteed Maximum Cost.

     4.1.3 The Contractor shall establish a Guaranteed Maximum Cost for
         reimbursable costs for the Owner's approval within 30 days after the
         design drawings and specifications are sufficiently complete to allow
         subcontractor bidding. The Guaranteed Maximum Cost may be equitably
         adjusted if construction has not commenced within ninety (90) days
         after the date that the Guaranteed Maximum Cost was established through
         no fault of the Contractor. If the total of the Contractor's
         Reimbursable Cost less discounts, rebates or refunds exceed such
         Guaranteed Maximum Cost, all costs and expense in excess of said
         Guaranteed Maximum Cost will be borne by the Contractor, and the Owner
         shall have no obligation to pay any costs in excess thereof.

defined in Article 6) less discounts, rebates or refunds which accrue to the
Owner pursuant to Article 7, is less than said Guaranteed Maximum Cost (the
"savings"), the Owner shall pay to the Contractor (as an addition to the fee
provided in paragraph 4. 1. 1 above), an amount equal to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the amount by which the total savings exceeds one percent (1%) of

be made with the final payment under paragraph 9.3 below.

4.3 The total of the Fixed Fee and the Guaranteed Maximum Cost shall be the
amount referred to in the Project Manual's General Conditions as the Contract
Sum. The Contract sum will include the Allowances as directed in the Project
Manual.

the Contractor a resident improvement fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the
Contractor's Reimbursable Costs (as defined in Article 6) for all resident
improvement work, together with all Contractor's Reimbursable Costs attributable

the residents and paid for by the residents. The total Contractor's Reimbursable
Costs for resident improvement work (as defined in Article 6) and resident
improvement fee shall be paid to the Contractor by the Owner on a per apartment
basis within 30 days after the resident improvement work for such apartment has
been substantially completed.

4.5 The fixed fee will be paid on a monthly basis as a percentage of the
completion of the Work.

4.6 If the final construction cost, as set forth in the Owner/Developer's
capital cost budget, including the GMP, Construction Management fee and Change
Orders not in construction line item is not achieved the Contractor will return
one half percent (1/2 %) Fee to the Owner within thirty (30) days of notice.

directly affecting the cost of the Work; (iii) the Work or any portion thereof
is damaged or destroyed by fire, windstorm, or other hazard covered by insurance
and the Contractor is charged with the repair or reconstruction; or (iv) the
actual cost of subcontracted work, material or equipment covered by an allowance

forth in paragraph 4.1.3 above shall be increased or decreased in an amount
equal to the change in the Contractor's Reimbursable Costs as determined by the
procedures established in the Project Manual.

5.2 The Contractor's Fixed Fee shall be increased by five percent (5%) of any
increases in the Work attributable to paragraph 5.1 above.

9.1 Based upon Applications for Payment on AIA forms G702 and G702A submitted to
the Architect by the Contractor and Certificates for Payment issued by the
Architect the Owner shall make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum
to the Contractor as provided in the Project Manual and as follows:

     9.1.1 The Owner will make payment on or about the twenty fifth (25th) day
of each month, ninety percent (90%) of the proportion of the Contract Sum
properly allocable to labor, materials, and equipment incorporated in the Work
and ninety percent (90%) of the portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable
to materials and equipment suitably stored up to the last day of the previous
month, less the aggregate of previous payments in each case. Retainage will not

and 6.1.11 and fee. Commencing with the second Application for Payment,
Contractor shall include partial mechanic lien waivers, if required by the
Owner, in conformity with Maryland law by and from each subcontractor and itself
that payment has been received for all monies due under the prior Application
for Payment. This procedure shall also apply to the final Application for
Payment and payment of any balance including retainage, if required by the
Owner. When the improvements are 50% complete all remaining payments shall be
for 100% in lieu of 90% above.

9.2 As part of Contractor's final Application for Payment, the Contractor will

Substantial Completion) provided the Work has been completed, the Contract fully
performed, and a final Certificate of Payment has been issued by the Architect.
If the Owner disputes the amount of the balance claimed by the Contractor to be
due and payable at the time of issuance of the final Certificate for Payment,
the Owner shall then pay to the Contractor retainage less any disputed amount
and the Contract shall be deemed completed and accepted, but neither the payment
nor receipt of such portion of the final payment shall be deemed a waiver of
claims of either party relating to the disputed amount. In no event shall the
Owner retain more, than the Architect determines is necessary to pay the cost of
any remaining minor items not affecting the use of the Project.

9.4 Upon mutual agreement by the Owner and Contractor, payment in full may be
made to those subcontractors whose Work is fully completed during the early
stages of the Project, or any retained amounts reduced with respect to
subcontractors at such times as the parties may mutually agree, which agreement
will not be unreasonably withheld. Agreement to any such reduction in retained
amounts will not constitute a waiver of or otherwise prejudice the Owner's right
to subsequently reinstate full retainage, as to that subcontractor, should
circumstances justify such action in the Owner's sole judgment.

                                   ARTICLE 10

event the excess shall be borne by the Contractor.

NOTE: A complete submission of AIA Document A201, General Conditions of the
Contract for Construction, was made in Exhibit 10.19 of the 1991 S-1 filing. All
changes to that document are noted in the succeeding documented titled
"Supplementary General Conditions of Construction Management Agreement."


                        SUPPLEMENTARY GENERAL CONDITIONS
                      OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

These Supplementary General Conditions modify, change, delete from or add to the
"General Conditions of the Contract For Construction," AIA Document A201,
Fourteenth Edition, 1987, and shall supersede the General Conditions to the
extent inconsistent or in conflict therewith. Where any Article of the General
Conditions is modified, or any Paragraph, Subparagraph or Clause thereof is
modified or deleted by these Supplementary General Conditions, the unaltered
provisions of that Article, Paragraph, Subparagraph or Clause shall remain in
effect:

             Subparagraph 3.2.1, delete lines 7-15, beginning in line 7 after
             the term "Contract Documents."

             Subparagraph 3.18.4, add:

                  "Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the contractor for
                  claims, etc., arising from negligent acts of the Owner for
                  injuries and damages of the type described in subparagraph
                  3.18.1 of the General Conditions, all as if said subparagraph
                  3.18.1 and related subparagraphs were set forth at length in
                  this subparagraph 3.18.4., only to the extent caused in whole
                  or in part by negligent acts of the Owner, anyone directly or
                  indirectly employed by the Owner, or anyone for whose acts
                  they may be liable, regardless of whether or not such claim,
                  damage, loss or expense caused in part by a party indemnified
                  hereunder."

             Subparagraph 4.5.8, add as a new subparagraph:

                  "4.5.8 Procedural Issues. The arbitration shall be held in
                  Baltimore, MD. Each party shall bear its own direct costs,
                  including attorney's fees, but general costs of the
                  arbitration shall be shared by both parties equally; provided,
                  the arbitrator may choose to award the general costs of
                  arbitration against the losing party if the arbitrator
                  determines that the proposed resolution urged by the losing
                  party was not reasonable. Notwithstanding anything in the
                  Contract Documents to the contrary, each party shall be
                  required to submit its proposed resolutions of each Claim to
                  the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall be required to render
                  a decision adopting in full either one or the other of such
                  proposed resolutions, and no compromises or alternative
                  resolutions shall be allowed or considered by the arbitrator.
                  Each party shall be entitled to full discovery and the
                  process, proceedings, practices and procedures provided for
                  under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in effect at the
                  time notice of demand for arbitration is filed. Either party
                  may request the selection of up to 3 arbitrators."

             Subparagraph 4.5.9, add as a new subparagraph:

                  "4.5.9 Limitations on Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything in
                  the Contract Documents to the contrary, if the (1) Claims
                  involve a proposed, net aggregate payment or reimbursement in
                  an amount greater than $50,000, or (2) the Claims involve an
                  interested person or entity (including the Architect) who has
                  not consented to be joined in the arbitration, then
                  arbitration shall apply only if both parties consent to
                  arbitration. For this purpose an "interested person or entity"
                  means any person or entity if (1) in such interested person or
                  entity's absence, complete relief cannot be accorded among
                  those already parties, or (2) the interested person or entity
                  is so situated that the disposition of the Claim without the
                  joinder of such interested person or entity may leave any of
                  those already parties subject to a substantial risk of
                  incurring double, multiple or otherwise inconsistent
                  obligations. If both parties do not consent to arbitration for
                  such Claims as described herein, then all requirements,
                  conditions, and conditions precedent pertaining to arbitration
                  shall be deemed appropriately adjusted to permit either party
                  to pursue such Claims as otherwise permitted by the Contract
                  Documents or by law."

             Subparagraph 5.2.1, change "promptly" to "within 10 days" in lines
             7 and 11.

             Subparagraph 9.3.1.2, delete in its entirety.

             Subparagraph 9.7.1, change line 6 as follows:

                  "titled by the Architect or awarded by arbitration, or if the
                  Owner does not promptly furnish evidence as required by
                  subparagraph 2.2.1, then the Con-".

             Subparagraph 10.1.1, add at the end:

                  "The Contractor shall have no responsibility for the
                  discovery, presence, handling, removal, disposal or exposure
                  of persons to toxic substances in any form at the site."

             Subparagraph 10. 1.2, add after the phrase "asbestos or
             polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)", the phrase "or other toxic
             substances", in lines 2-3, 8, 10- 11.

             Subparagraph 10. 1. 3, add at the end:

                  "...or other toxic substances."

             Subparagraph 10.1.4, delete in its entirety and substitute the
             following:

                  "10.1.4 The Owner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
                  Contractor and its employees, officers, agents and
                  subcontractors (regardless of tier) from and against any and
                  all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, demands, judgments,
                  interest, penalties, fines, monetary sanctions, costs,
                  attorney's fees, expenses, court costs, and all other costs
                  and expenses (collectively "Costs") resulting from, in
                  connection with, or arising in any manner whatsoever out of
                  the toxic substances. Without limiting the generality of the
                  foregoing, it is agreed that such indemnification shall apply
                  to any Costs incurred as a result of: (a) complying with all
                  federal, state and local environmental health and safety
                  rules, laws, regulations and ordinances and/or orders,
                  directives and/or recommendations of any governmental entity
                  having jurisdiction for the enforcement of such laws, rules,
                  regulations and ordinances which may now or may hereafter be
                  in effect and be applicable to or be issued in connection with
                  the toxic substances; (b) performing or arranging for the
                  performance of medical examinations of individuals exposed to
                  the toxic substances, maintaining medical records for such
                  individuals and conducting any employee educational programs,
                  whether or not such tests, recordkeeping or programs are
                  currently required by applicable law; (c) involvement in any
                  suits or actions asserting public or employer liability
                  resulting from the toxic substances; and (d) performing the
                  Work, which for this purpose shall include the disposal of any
                  toxic substances which may have been undertaken by the
                  Contractor.

                  10.1.5 The Owner agrees to pay and/or reimburse the Contractor
                  for all additional costs of the Work together with any impact
                  costs and expenses incurred by the Contractor in the
                  resequencing and/or performance of the Work under the Contract
                  which would not have been incurred but for the toxic
                  substances. The Contract Sum and the Guaranteed Maximum Price,
                  if applicable, shall be increased by the amount of the
                  additional Cost of the Work to be paid and/or reimbursed to
                  the Contractor pursuant to this Subparagraph 10.1.5.

                  10.1.6 The obligations of the Owner as set forth in this
                  Paragraph 10.1 shall survive the termination of the Contract."

             Subparagraph 11.3.1.3, delete this Paragraph and add:

                  "The Owner is responsible for all deductibles."

             Subparagraph 12.2.1, change "or" to "as" in line 2.

                     END OF SUPPLEMENTARY GENERAL CONDITIONS

                                 Exhibit 10.19.3
