            CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain oral statements made by management from time to time and certain
statements contained herein, including certain statements in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" such
as statements concerning Medicaid and Medicare programs and the Company's
ability to meet its liquidity needs and control costs, certain statements in
"Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk", certain statements
in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such as
certain Pro Forma Financial Information; and other statements contained herein
regarding matters which are not historical facts are forward looking statements
(as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933) and because such
statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially
from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to
those discussed below:

1.   Changes in the United States healthcare system, including changes in
     reimbursement levels under Medicaid and Medicare, implementation of the
     Medicare prospective payment system and consolidated billing and other
     changes in applicable government regulations that might affect the
     profitability of the Company.

2.   The Company's substantial indebtedness and significant debt service
     obligations.

3.   The Company's ability to secure the capital and the related cost of such
     capital necessary to fund its future growth through acquisition and
     development, as well as internal growth.

4.   The Company's continued ability to operate in a heavily regulated
     environment and to satisfy regulatory authorities, thereby avoiding a
     number of potentially adverse consequences, such as the imposition of
     fines, temporary suspension of admission of patients, restrictions on the
     ability to acquire new facilities, suspension or decertification from
     Medicaid or Medicare programs, and, in extreme cases, revocation of a
     facility's license or the closure of a facility, including as a result of
     unauthorized activities by employees.

5.   The occurrence of changes in the mix of payment sources utilized by the
     Company's customers to pay for the Company's services.

6.   The adoption of cost containment measures by private pay sources such as
     commercial insurers and managed care organizations, as well as efforts by
     governmental reimbursement sources to impose cost containment measures.

7.   The level of competition in the Company's industry, including without
     limitation, increased competition from acute care hospitals, providers of
     assisted and independent living and providers of home health care and
     changes in the regulatory system, such as changes in certificate of need
     laws in the states in which the Company operates or anticipates operating
     in the future that facilitate such competition.

8.   The Company's ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, to
     consummate or complete development projects, or to profitably operate or
     successfully integrate enterprises into the Company's other operations.

9.   The Company and its payors' and suppliers ability to implement a Year 2000
     readiness program.

These and other factors have been discussed in more detail in the Company's
periodic reports, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 
ended September 30, 1998

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1998

                                   (Unaudited)

                        (In thousands, except share data)


(1)      Organization and Basis of Presentation
     
         The Multicare Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Multicare" or the
         "Company") own, operate and manage skilled eldercare and assisted
         living facilities which provide long-term care and specialty medical
         services in selected geographic regions within the eastern and
         midwestern United States. In addition, the Company operated
         institutional pharmacies, medical supply companies, outpatient
         rehabilitation centers and other ancillary healthcare businesses before
         the Merger (as defined below). As a result of the Merger of Genesis
         ElderCare Acquisition Corp. with the Company, Genesis Health Ventures,
         Inc. ("Genesis") owns approximately 44% of Genesis ElderCare Corp.,
         which owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. The
         Company and Genesis have entered into a management agreement pursuant
         to which Genesis manages the Company's operations.

         The financial information as of December 31, 1998, and for the three
         months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, is unaudited and has been
         prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices as
         reflected in the Company's audited annual financial statements. The
         unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only
         of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
         financial position as of December 31, 1998 and the operating results
         for the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the cash
         flows for the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. Results
         for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be
         expected for the year.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from these estimates.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
         that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
         with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
         incorporated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
         year ended September 30, 1998.

(2)      Tender Offer and Merger and Recent Acquisitions

         On October 9, 1997, Genesis ElderCare Acquisition Corp. ("Acquisition
         Corp."), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis ElderCare Corp., a
         Delaware corporation formed by Genesis Health Ventures, Inc.
         ("Genesis"), The Cypress Group L.L.C. (together with its affiliates,
         "Cypress"), TPG Partners II, L.P. (together with its affiliates,
         "TPG"), and Nazem, Inc. (together with its affiliates, "Nazem"),
         acquired 99.65% of the shares of common stock of Multicare, pursuant to
         a tender offer commenced on June 20, 1997 (the "Tender Offer"). On
         October 10, 1997, Genesis ElderCare Corp. completed the merger (the
         "Merger") of Acquisition Corp. with and into Multicare in accordance
         with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as
         of June 16, 1997 by and among Genesis ElderCare Corp., Acquisition
         Corp., Genesis and Multicare. Upon consummation of the Merger,
         Multicare became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis ElderCare Corp.

         In connection with the Merger, Multicare and Genesis entered into a
         management agreement (the "Management Agreement") pursuant to which
         Genesis manages Multicare's operations. The Management Agreement has a
         term of five years with automatic renewals for two years unless either
         party terminates the Management Agreement.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued.


(2)      Tender Offer and Merger and Recent Acquisitions, Continued

         Genesis earns a fee of six percent of Multicare's net revenues for its
         services under the Management Agreement provided that payment of such
         fee in respect of any month in excess of the greater of (i) $1,992 and
         (ii) four percent of Multicare's consolidated net revenues for such
         month, shall be subordinate to the satisfaction of Multicare's senior
         and subordinate debt covenants; and provided, further, that payment of
         such fee shall be no less than $23,900 in any given year. Under the
         Management Agreement, Genesis is responsible for Multicare's
         non-extraordinary sales, general and administrative expenses (other
         than certain specified third-party expenses), and all other expenses of
         Multicare are paid by Multicare. Genesis also entered into an asset
         purchase agreement (the "Therapy Sale Agreement") with Multicare and
         certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to which Genesis acquired all of
         the assets used in Multicare's outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation
         therapy business for $24,000 subject to adjustment (the "Therapy Sale")
         and a stock purchase agreement (the "Pharmacy Sale Agreement") with
         Multicare and certain subsidiaries pursuant to which Genesis acquired
         all of the outstanding capital stock and limited partnership interests
         of certain subsidiaries of Multicare that are engaged in the business
         of providing institutional pharmacy services to third parties for
         $50,000 subject to adjustment (the "Pharmacy Sale"). The Company
         completed the Pharmacy Sale effective January 1, 1998.

         Genesis ElderCare Corp. (the "Multicare Parent") paid approximately
         $1,492,000 to (i) purchase the shares pursuant to the Tender Offer and
         the Merger, (ii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
         completion of the Tender Offer, Merger and the financing transactions
         in connection therewith, (iii) refinance certain indebtedness of
         Multicare and (iv) make certain cash payments to employees. Of the
         funds required to finance the foregoing, approximately $733,000 were
         furnished to Acquisition Corp. as capital contributions by the
         Multicare Parent from the sale by Genesis ElderCare Corp. of its Common
         Stock ("Genesis ElderCare Corp. Common Stock") to Cypress, TPG, Nazem
         and Genesis. Cypress, TPG and Nazem purchased shares of Genesis
         ElderCare Corp. Common Stock for a purchase price of $210,000, $199,500
         and $10,500, respectively, and Genesis purchased shares of Genesis
         ElderCare Corp. Common Stock for a purchase price of $325,000 in
         consideration for approximately 44% of the Common Stock of the
         Multicare Parent. The balance of the funds necessary to finance the
         foregoing came from (i) the proceeds of loans from a syndicate of
         lenders in the aggregate amount of $525,000 and (ii) $246,800 from the
         sale of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "9% Notes") sold by
         Acquisition Corp. on August 11, 1997.

         In connection with the Merger, Genesis, Cypress, TPG and Nazem entered
         into an agreement (the "Put/Call Agreement") pursuant to which, among
         other things, Genesis will have the option, on the terms and conditions
         set forth in the Put/Call Agreement, to purchase (the "Call") Genesis
         ElderCare Corp. Common Stock held by Cypress, TPG and Nazem commencing
         on October 9, 2001 and for a period of 270 days thereafter, at a price
         determined pursuant to the terms of the Put/Call Agreement. Cypress,
         TPG and Nazem will have the option, on the terms and conditions set
         forth in the Put/Call Agreement, to require Genesis to purchase (the
         "Put") such Genesis ElderCare Corp. Common Stock commencing on October
         9, 2002 and for a period of one year thereafter, at a price determined
         pursuant to the Put/Call Agreement.

         The prices determined for the Put and Call are based on a formula that
         calculates the equity value attributable to Cypress', TPG's and Nazem's
         Genesis ElderCare Corp. Common Stock, plus a portion of the Genesis
         pharmacy business (the "Calculated Equity Value"). The Calculated
         Equity Value will be determined based upon a multiple of Genesis
         ElderCare Corp.'s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
         amortization and rental expenses, as adjusted ("EBITDAR") after
         deduction of certain liabilities, plus a portion of the EBITDAR related
         to the Genesis pharmacy business. The multiple to be applied to EBITDAR
         will depend on whether the Put or the Call is being exercised. Any
         payment to Cypress, TPG or Nazem under the Call or the Put may be in
         the form of cash or Genesis common stock at Genesis' option.

(2)      Tender Offer and Merger and Recent Acquisitions, Continued

         Upon exercise of the Call, Cypress, TPG and Nazem will receive at a
         minimum their original investment plus a 25% compound annual return
         thereon regardless of the Calculated Equity Value. Any additional
         Calculated Equity Value attributable to Cypress', TPG's or Nazem's
         Genesis ElderCare Corp. Common Stock will be determined on the basis
         set forth in the Put/Call Agreement which provides generally for
         additional Calculated Equity Value of Genesis ElderCare Corp. to be
         divided based upon the proportionate share of the capital contributions
         of the stockholders to Genesis ElderCare Corp. Upon exercise of the Put
         by Cypress, TPG or Nazem, there will be no minimum return to Cypress,
         TPG or Nazem; any payment to Cypress, TPG or Nazem will be limited to
         Cypress', TPG's or Nazem's share of the Calculated Equity Value based
         upon a formula set forth in the terms of the Put/Call Agreement.

         Cypress', TPG's and Nazem's rights to exercise the Put will be
         accelerated upon an event of bankruptcy of Genesis, a change of control
         of Genesis or an extraordinary dividend or distribution or the
         occurrence of the leverage recapitalization of Genesis. Upon an event
         of acceleration or the failure by Genesis to satisfy its obligations
         upon exercise of the Put, Cypress, TPG and Nazem will have the right to
         terminate the Stockholders' Agreement and Management Agreement and to
         control the sale or liquidation of Genesis ElderCare Corp. In the event
         of such sale, the proceeds from such sale will be distributed among the
         parties as contemplated by the formula for the Put option exercise
         price and Cypress, TPG and Nazem will retain a claim against Genesis
         for the difference, if any, between the proceeds of such sale and the
         Put option exercise price.

         The following 1998 pro forma financial information has been prepared as
         if the Pharmacy Sale had been completed on October 1, 1997. The pro
         forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of
         operations that would have occurred had the transactions occurred at
         the beginning of the respective periods presented.

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


General

Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company and Genesis entered into the
Management Agreement pursuant to which Genesis manages the Company's operations.
Under Genesis' management, the Company's strategy is to integrate the talents of
case managers, comprehensive discharge planning and, to provide cost effective
care management to achieve superior outcomes and return the Company's customers
to the community. Genesis' management believes that achieving improved customer
outcomes will result in increased utilization of specialty medical services and
a broader base of repeat customers in the Company's network. Moreover, the
Company believes that this strategy will lead to a high quality payor mix and
continued high levels of occupancy. Genesis' management also will focus on the
revenue and cost opportunities presented through the further integration of the
Company's acquisitions. It is contemplated that the Company will do little, if
any, new acquisitions or new construction after the Merger; accordingly, capital
expenditures after the Merger have decreased significantly from historical
levels.

The Tender Offer and Merger

On October 9, 1997 Acquisition Corp., Cypress, TPG and Nazem acquired 99.65% of
the shares of common stock of Multicare, pursuant to the Tender Offer commenced
on June 20, 1997. On October 10, 1997, Genesis ElderCare Corp. completed the
Merger of Acquisition Corp. with and into Multicare in accordance with the
Merger Agreement. Upon consummation of the Merger, Multicare became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis ElderCare Corp. Multicare is in the business
of providing eldercare and specialty medical services in selected geographic
regions.

In connection with the Merger, Multicare and Genesis entered into the Management
Agreement pursuant to which Genesis manages Multicare's operations. The
Management Agreement has a term of five years with automatic renewals for two
years unless either party terminates the Management Agreement. Genesis is paid
a fee of six percent of Multicare's net revenues for its services under the
Management Agreement provided that payment of such fee in respect of any month
in excess of the greater of (i) $1,991,666 and (ii) four percent of Multicare's
consolidated net revenues for such month, shall be subordinate to the
satisfaction of Multicare's senior and subordinate debt covenants; and provided,
further, that payment of such fee shall be no less than $23,900,000 million in
any given year. Under the Management Agreement, Genesis is responsible for
Multicare's non-extraordinary sales, general and administrative expenses (other
than certain specified third-party expenses), and all other expenses of
Multicare are paid by Multicare. Genesis also entered into the Therapy Sale
Agreement with Multicare and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to which
Genesis acquired all of the assets used in Multicare's outpatient and inpatient
rehabilitation therapy business for $24,000,000 subject to adjustment and the
Pharmacy Sale Agreement with Multicare and certain subsidiaries pursuant to
which Genesis will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock and limited
partnership interest of certain subsidiaries of Multicare that are engaged in
the business of providing institutional pharmacy services to third parties for
$50,000,000, subject to adjustment. The Company completed the Therapy Sale and
the Pharmacy Sale effective October 1, 1997 and January 1, 1998, respectively.

Genesis ElderCare Corp. (the "Multicare Parent") paid approximately
$1,492,000,000 to (i) purchase the shares pursuant to the Tender Offer and the
Merger, (ii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the completion of
the Tender Offer, Merger and the financing transactions in connection with
therewith, (iii) refinance certain indebtedness of Multicare and (iv) make
certain cash payments to employees. Of the funds required to finance the
foregoing, approximately $733,000,000 were furnished to Acquisition Corp. as
capital contributions by the Multicare Parent from the sale by Genesis ElderCare
Corp. of its Common Stock ("Genesis Eldercare Corp. Common Stock") to Cypress,
TPG, Nazem and Genesis. Cypress, TPG and Nazem purchased shares of Genesis
ElderCare Corp. common stock for a purchase price of $210,000,000, $199,500,000
and $10,500,000, respectively, and Genesis purchased shares of Genesis ElderCare
Corp. common stock for a purchase price of $325,000,000 in consideration for
approximately 44% of the common stock of the Multicare Parent. The balance of
the funds necessary to finance the foregoing came from (i) the proceeds of loans
from a syndicate of lenders in the aggregate amount of $525,000,000 and (ii)
$250,000,000 from the sale of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "9%
Notes") sold by Acquisition Corp. on August 11, 1997.

Results of Operations

Net revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1998
decreased $17.3 million or 9.3% from the same period last year to $168.5
million. The decrease in revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 is
comprised of approximately $20.8 million relating to the exclusion of the
results of the pharmacy business due to the Pharmacy Sale offset by
approximately $3.5 million of internal growth. The internal growth of revenues
resulted mainly from increases in payor rates and development and opening of
additional beds.

The average rate per patient day increased $2 per day from the same period last
year. The Company's quality mix of private, Medicare and insurance patient days
was 41.4% of patient days for the three months ended December 31, 1998 compared
to 43.6% in the similar period of last year. Occupancy rates were 91.1% for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 compared to 92.0% in the similar period of
last year.

Operating Expense. Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1998 decreased $11.5 million or 8.2% from the comparable period last year to
$129.8 million. A decrease of $16.3 million relates to the exclusion of results
for the pharmacy businesses due to the Pharmacy Sale. The offsetting increase
resulted primarily from higher salaries, wages and benefits and expanded nursing
staffing levels to support higher patient acuities and more complex product
lines such as subacute and Alzheimers care. Facility operating margins were
23.0% and 23.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Management Fee. In connection with the Management Agreement, Genesis manages
Multicare's operations for a fee of approximately six percent of Multicare's
non-extraordinary (as defined by the Management Agreement) sales and is
responsible for Multicare's corporate general and administrative expenses other
than certain specified third party expenses. Management fees decreased by $1.6
million or 14% to $10.1 million, due to the exclusion of the results of the
pharmacy business due to the Pharmacy Sale.

Lease Expense. Lease expense for the three months ended December 31, 1998
decreased 9.3% to $3.1 million. The decrease relates to the sale of certain
leased facilities in connection with the Pharmacy Sale.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 decreased $0.5 or 4.3% from the prior
period to $11.3 million. Depreciation decreased due to the sale of certain
plant, property, and equipment in connection with the Pharmacy Sale.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended December
31, 1998 increased $1.5 million or 10% to $16.2 million from the same period in
the prior year. The increase is due to the increase in average debt balance of
approximately $58 million in the current year period over the prior period. This
is due in part to incremental borrowings incurred to finance the Merger which
was not outstanding for the entire prior quarter.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes decreased by $0.9 million to
$0.6 million due to lower anticipated pre-tax earnings in the current year. The
majority of the tax provision relates to non-deductible goodwill amortization
resulting from the Merger which is partially offset in the current year by a tax
benefit related to the loss before income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company maintains adequate working capital from operating cash flows and
lines of credit for continuing operations, debt service, and anticipated capital
expenditures. At December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, the Company had
working capital of $32.0 and $22.8 million, respectively.

Cash flow used in operations was $9.3 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 compared to cash flow provided by operations of $12.4 million
in the prior period. Net accounts receivable at December 31, 1998 were $123.4
million compared to $114.2 million as of September 30, 1998. The increase in net
accounts receivable is attributable to the timing of third-party interim and
settlement payments and the utilization of specialty medical services for higher
acuity level patients. Legislative and regulatory action and government
budgetary constraints will change the timing of payments and reimbursement rates
of the Medicare and Medicaid programs in the future. These changes could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's future operating results and cash
flows.

In connection with the Merger, Multicare entered into three term loans and a
revolving credit facility of up to $525 million, in the aggregate (collectively,
the "Senior Facilities"), provided by a syndicate of banks and other financial
institutions (collectively, the "Lenders") led by Mellon Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), pursuant to a certain credit
agreement (the "Long Term Credit Agreement") dated as of October 14, 1997. The
Senior Facilities were provided for the purpose of (i) refinancing certain
short term facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $431.6 million which
were funded on October 9, 1997 to acquire the Shares in the Tender Offer,
refinance certain indebtedness of Multicare (including the Company's bank credit
and lease facilities with NationsBank, N.A. the Company's 7% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures and the Company's 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes) and
pay fees and expenses related to the transactions, (ii) funding interest and
principal payments on such facilities and on certain remaining indebtedness and
(iii) funding working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Senior Facilities consist of: (1) a $169 million six year term loan (the
"Tranche A Term Facility"); (2) a $148.1 million seven year term loan (the
"Tranche B Term Facility"); (3) a $49.2 million term loan maturing on June 1,
2005 (the "Tranche C Term Facility"); (4) a $125 million six year revolving
credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") which includes Swing Loans
(collectively, the "Swing Loan Facility") in integral principal multiples of
$500,000 up to an aggregate unpaid principal amount of $10 million. The Tranche
A Term Facility, Tranche B Term Facility and Tranche C Term Facility are subject
to amortization in quarterly installments, commencing at the end of the first
calendar quarter after the date of the consummation of the Merger. The Revolving
Credit Facility will mature on September 30, 2003. All net proceeds received by
Multicare from (i) the sale of assets of Multicare or its subsidiaries other
than sales in the ordinary course of business (and other than the sales of
Multicare's rehabilitation therapy business and pharmacy business to the extent
that there are amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility) and (ii)
any sale of common stock or debt securities of Multicare in respect of common
stock will be applied as a mandatory prepayment. Fifty percent of Excess Cash
Flow must be applied to the Senior Facilities and shall be payable annually.

The Long Term Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other
things, restrict the ability of Multicare and its subsidiaries to dispose of
assets, incur additional indebtedness, make loans and investments, pay
dividends, engage in mergers or consolidations, engage in certain transactions
with affiliates and change control of capital stock, prepay debt, make material
changes in accounting and reporting practices, create liens on assets, give a
negative pledge on assets, make acquisitions and amend or modify documents. In
addition, the Long Term Credit Agreement requires that Multicare and its
affiliates maintain the Management Agreement as well as comply with certain
financial covenants. The Third Amendment to the Credit Facility ("the 
Amendment"), effective February 12, 1999, made the financial covenants for 
certain periods less restrictive.

The Senior Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in all
of the (i) stock of Multicare, (ii) stock, partnership interests and other
equity of all of Multicare's present and future direct and indirect subsidiaries
and (iii) intercompany notes among Genesis ElderCare Corp. and any subsidiaries
or among any subsidiaries. Loans under the Senior Facilities bear, at
Multicare's option, interest at the per annum Prime Rate as announced by the
Administrative Agent, or the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate. Effective with the
Amendment on February 12, 1999 the loans under the Tranche A Term Facility bear
interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a margin of .75% or the LIBO
Rate plus a margin of 3.0%; loans under the Tranche B Term Facility bear
interest at a rate equal to Prime Rate plus 1.5% or LIBO Rate plus a margin of
3.25%; loans under the Tranche C Term Facility bear interest at a rate equal to
Prime Rate plus 1.25% or LIBO Rate plus a margin up to 3.5%; loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to Prime Rate plus .75%
or LIBO Rate plus a margin up to 3.0%; and loans under the Swing Loan Facility
bear interest at the Prime Rate unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
Subject to meeting certain financial covenants, the above-referenced interest
rates will be reduced.

On August 11, 1997, Acquisition Corp. sold $250 million principal amount of 9%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "9% Notes") which were issued pursuant 
to the Indenture. Interest on the 9% Notes is payable semiannually on February 1
and August 1 of each year.

                                       10
<PAGE>

The 9% Notes are unsecured, general obligations of the issuer, subordinated in
right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness, as defined in
the Indenture, of the issuer, including indebtedness under the Senior
Facilities. The 9% Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with any future
senior subordinated indebtedness of the issuer and are senior in right of
payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of the issuer. The 9% Notes are
redeemable at the option of the issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on or
after August 1, 2002, initially at 104.5% of their principal amount, plus
accrued interest, declining ratably to 100% of their principal amount, plus
accrued interest, on or after August 1, 2004. The 9% Notes are subject to
mandatory redemption at 101%. Upon a Change in Control, as defined in the
Indenture, the issuer is required to make an offer to purchase the 9% Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.
The Indenture contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict
the ability of the issuer of the 9% Notes to incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends, redeem capital stock, make certain investments, issue the capital
stock of its subsidiaries, engage in mergers or consolidations or asset sales,
engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and create dividend and other
restrictions affecting its subsidiaries.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, Multicare assumed all obligations of
Acquisition Corp. with respect to and under the 9% Notes and the related
Indenture.

On October 9, 1997, Multicare, Genesis and Genesis ElderCare Network Services,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis, entered into a management agreement
(the "Management Agreement") pursuant to which Genesis manages Multicare's
operations. The Management Agreement has a term of five years with automatic
renewals for two years unless either party terminates the Management Agreement.
Genesis is paid a fee of six percent of Multicare's net revenues for its
services under the Management Agreement provided that payment of such fee in
respect of any month in excess of the greater of (i) $1.992 million and (ii)
four percent of Multicare's consolidated net revenues for such month, is
subordinate to the satisfaction of Multicare's senior and subordinate debt
covenants; and provided, further, that payment of such fee shall be no less than
$23.9 million in any given year. At December 31, 1998 $17.4 million is
subordinated and due to Genesis. Under the Management Agreement, Genesis is
responsible for Multicare's non-extraordinary sales, general and administrative
expenses (other than certain specified third-party expenses), and all other
expenses of Multicare are paid by Multicare.

On October 10, 1997, Genesis entered into the Therapy Sale pursuant to which
Genesis acquired all of the assets used in Multicare's outpatient and inpatient
rehabilitation therapy business for $24 million, subject to adjustment.

On October 10, 1997, Genesis and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered
into the Pharmacy Sale pursuant to which Genesis acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock and limited partnership interests of certain subsidiaries of
Multicare that were engaged in the business of providing institutional pharmacy
services to third parties for $50 million, subject to adjustment (the "Pharmacy
Sale"). The Company completed the Pharmacy Sale effective January 1, 1998.

In February 1998 ElderTrust ("ETT"), a Maryland real estate investment trust
sponsored by Genesis, made term loans to subsidiaries of the Company with
respect to the lease-up of three assisted living facilities. The loans have a
fixed annual rate of interest of 10.5% and mature three years from the date of
the loans, subject to the right of the Company to extend the term for up to
three one-year extension periods in the event the facility has not reached
"stabilized occupancy" (as defined) as of the third anniversary of the loan (or
at the end of any extension period, if applicable).

ETT is obligated to purchase and leaseback the three facilities that secure the
term and construction loans being made to the Company, upon the earlier of the
facility reaching stabilized occupancy or the maturity of the loan secured by
the facility provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to sell
any facility if the purchase price for the facility would be less than the
applicable loan amount. The purchase agreements provide for a cash purchase
price in an amount which will result in an annual yield of 10.5% to ETT. If
acquired by ETT, these facilities would be leased to the Company under minimum
rent leases. The initial term of any minimum rent lease will be ten years, and
the Company will have the option to extend the term for up to two five-year
extension periods upon 12 months notice to ETT. Minimum rent for the first lease
year under any minimum rent lease will be established by multiplying the
purchase price for the applicable facility times 10.5%, and the increase each
year by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the increase in the gross
revenues for such facility (excluding any revenues derived from ancillary
healthcare services provided by Genesis or its affiliates to residents of the
applicable facility) during the immediately preceding year or (ii) one-half of
the increase in the Consumer Price Index during the immediately preceding year.
During the last four years of the term (as extended, if applicable), the Company
is required to make minimum capital expenditures equal to $3,000 per residential
unit in each assisted living facility covered by a minimum rent lease.

Legislative and regulatory action has resulted in continuing change in the
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs which has adversely impacted the
Company. The changes have limited, and are expected to continue to limit,
payment increases under these programs. Also, the timing of payments made under
the Medicare and Medicaid programs is subject to regulatory action and
governmental budgetary constraints; in recent years, the time period between
submission of claims and payment has increased. Within the statutory framework
of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to
administrative rulings and interpretations which may further affect payments
made under those programs. Further, the federal and state governments may reduce
the funds available under those programs in the future or require more stringent
utilization and quality reviews of eldercare centers or other providers. There
can be no assurances that adjustments from Medicare or Medicaid audits will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the "Balanced Budget Act")
commencing with cost reporting periods beginning on July 1, 1998, PPS began to
be phased in for skilled nursing facilities at a per diem rate for all covered
Part A skilled nursing facility services as well as many services for which
payment may be made under Part B when a beneficiary who is a resident of a
skilled nursing facility receives covered skilled nursing facility care. The
consolidated per diem rate is adjusted based upon the Resource Utilization Group
("RUG"). In addition to covering skilled nursing facility services, this
consolidated payment will also cover rehabilitation and non-rehabilitation
ancillary services. Physician services, certain nurse practitioner and physician
assistant services, among others, are not included in the per diem rate. For the
first three cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998, the per
diem rate will be based on a blend of a facility specific-rate and a federal per
diem rate. In subsequent periods, and for facilities first receiving payments
for Medicare services on or after October 1, 1995, the federal per diem rate
will be used without any facility specific blending.

The Balanced Budget Act also required consolidated billing for skilled nursing
facilities. Under the Balanced Budget Act, the skilled nursing facility must
submit all Medicare claims for Part A and Part B services received by its
residents with the exception of physician, nursing, physician assistant and
certain related services, even if such services were provided by outside
suppliers. Medicare will pay the skilled nursing facilities directly for all
services on the consolidated bill and outside suppliers of services to residents
of the skilled nursing facilities must collect payment from the skilled nursing
facility. Although consolidated billing was scheduled to begin July 1, 1998 for
all services, it has been delayed until further notice for beneficiaries in a
Medicare Part A stay in a skilled nursing facility not yet using PPS and for the
Medicare Part B stay. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
provide skilled nursing services at a cost below the established Medicare level.

Based upon the Company's recent experience with 7 eldercare centers that
transitioned to PPS effective July 1, 1998 and based upon the Company's ongoing
budget process for its fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, the Company
believes that the impact of PPS on the Company's future earnings is likely to be
greater than originally anticipated by management due to various factors,
including lower than anticipated Medicare per diem revenues, lower than
anticipated Medicare Part B revenues caused by a census shift to Medicare
patients having a greater length of stay, higher than expected ancillary costs
at the centers due to expanded services covered in the Medicare Part A rates,
lower than anticipated routine cost reductions and lower than expected revenues
for contract therapy services.

Based upon assumptions, the Company estimates that the adverse revenue impact of
PPS in Fiscal 1999 will be approximately $18 million. The Company estimates that
the adverse revenue impact of PPS will be approximately an additional $13
million in Fiscal 2000 and an additional $5 million in each of Fiscal 2001 and
2002. The majority of the Multicare eldercare centers began implementation of
PPS on January 1, 1999. The actual impact of PPS on the Company's earnings in
Fiscal 1999 will depend on many variables which can not be quantified at this
time, including regulatory changes, patient acuity, patient length of stay,
Medicare census, referral patterns, and ability to reduce costs.


                                       12

Effective April 10, 1998, regulations were adopted by the Health Care Financing
Administration, which revise the methodology for determining the reasonable cost
for contract therapy services, including physical therapy, respiratory therapy,
occupational therapy and speech language pathology. Under the regulations, the
reasonable costs for contract therapy services are limited to
geographically-adjusted salary equivalency guidelines. However, the revised
salary equivalency guidelines will no longer apply when the PPS system
applicable to the particular setting for contract therapy services (e.g. skilled
nursing facilities, home health agencies, etc.) goes into effect.

The Balanced Budget Act also repealed the Boren Amendment federal payment
standard for Medicaid payments to Medicaid nursing facilities effective October
1, 1997. The Boren Amendment required Medicaid payments to certain health care
providers to be reasonable and adequate in order to cover the costs of
efficiently and economically operated health care facilities. States must now
use a public notice and comment period in order to determine rates and provide
interested parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on proposed rates and the
justification for and the methodology used in calculating such rates. There can
be no assurance that budget constraints or other factors will not cause states
to reduce Medicaid reimbursement to nursing facilities and pharmacies or that
payments to nursing facilities and pharmacies will be made on timely basis. The
law also grants greater flexibility to states to establish Medicaid managed care
projects without the need to obtain a federal waiver. Although these waiver
projects generally exempt institutional care, including nursing facilities and
institutional pharmacy services, no assurances can be given that these projects
ultimately will not change the reimbursement system for long-term care,
including pharmacy services from fee-for-service to managed care negotiated or
capitated rates. The Company anticipates that federal and state governments will
continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery systems and
payment methodologies.

In July 1998, the Clinton Administration issued a new initiative to promote the
quality of care in nursing homes. This initiative includes, but is not limited
to (i) increased enforcement of nursing home safety and quality regulations;
(ii) increased federal oversight of state inspections of nursing homes; (iii)
prosecution of egregious violations of regulations governing nursing homes; (iv)
the publication of nursing home survey results on the Internet; and (v)
continuation of the development of the Minimum Data Set ("MDS"), a national
automated clinical data system. Accordingly, with this new initiative, it may
become more difficult for eldercare facilities to maintain licensing and
certification. The Company may experience increased costs in connection with
maintaining its licenses and certifications as well as increased enforcement
actions. In addition, beginning January 1, 1999, outpatient therapy services
furnished by a skilled nursing facility to a resident not under a covered Part A
stay or to non-residents who receive outpatient rehabilitation services will be
paid according to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.

The Company believes that its liquidity needs can be met by expected operating
cash flow and availability of borrowings under its credit facilities. At January
31, 1999, approximately $97.3 million was outstanding under the Senior
facilities, and approximately $21.8 million was available under the credit
facilities after giving effect to approximately $5.8 million in outstanding
letters of credit issued under the credit facilities.

Seasonality

The Company's earnings generally fluctuate from quarter to quarter. This
seasonality is related to a combination of factors which include the timing of
Medicaid rate increases, seasonal census cycles, and the number of calendar days
in a given quarter.

Impact of Inflation

The healthcare industry is labor intensive. Wages and other labor costs are
especially sensitive to inflation and marketplace labor shortages. To date, the
Company has offset its increased operating costs by increasing charges for its
services and expanding its services. Genesis has also implemented cost control
measures to limit increases in operating costs and expenses but cannot predict
its ability to control such operating cost increases in the future.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Company has implemented a process to address its Year 2000 compliance
issues. The process includes (i) an inventory and assessment of the compliance
of essential systems and equipment of the Company and of year 2000 mission
critical suppliers and other third parties, (ii) the remediation of
non-compliant systems and equipment, and (iii) contingency planning.

The Company's Year 2000 compliance work is being performed and paid for by
Genesis, manager of the Company's operations under the terms of a long-term
management agreement. Genesis is in the process of conducting an inventory,
assessment and remediation of its information technology ("IT") systems,
equipment and non-IT systems and equipment (embedded technology). It has
completed approximately 70% of its internal inventory and approximately 30% of
its assessment of the systems and equipment of critical suppliers and other
third parties.

With respect to the Year 2000 compliance of critical third parties, the Company
derives a substantial portion of its revenues from the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. Congress' General Accounting Office recently concluded that it is
highly unlikely that all Medicare systems will be compliant on time to ensure
the delivery of uninterrupted benefits and services into the Year 2000. While
the Company does not receive payments directly from Medicare, but from
intermediaries, the GAO statement is interpreted to apply as well to these
intermediaries. The Company intends to actively confirm the Year 2000 readiness
status for each intermediary and to work cooperatively to ensure appropriate
continuing payments for services rendered to all government-insured patients.

The Company is remediating its critical IT and non-IT systems and equipment. The
Company has also begun contingency planning in the event that essential systems
and equipment fail to be year 2000 compliant. The Company is planning to be Year
2000 complaint for all its essential systems and equipment by September 30,
1999, although there can be no assurance that it will achieve its objective by
such date or by January 1, 2000, or that such potential non-compliance will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. In addition there can be no assurance that all of the
Company's critical suppliers, and other third parties will be Year 2000
complaint by January 1, 2000, or that such potential non-compliance will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. The Company's analysis of its Year 2000 issues is based
in part on information from third party suppliers; there can be no assurance
that such information is accurate or complete.

The failure of the Company or third parties to be fully Year 2000 compliant for
essential systems and equipment by January 1, 2000 could result in interruptions
of normal business work operations. The Company's potential risks include (i)
the inability to deliver patient care-related services in the Company's
facilities and/or in non-affiliated facilities, (ii) the delayed receipt of
reimbursement from the Federal or State governments, private payors, or
intermediaries, (iii) the failure of security systems, elevators, heating
systems or other operational systems and equipment and (iv) the inability to
receive equipment and supplies from vendors. Each of these events could have a
material adverse affect on the Company's care-related business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Contingency plans for the Company's Year 2000-related issues continue to be
developed and include, but are not limited to, identification of alternate
suppliers, alternate technologies and alternate manual systems. The Company is
planning to have contingency plans completed for essential systems and equipment
by June 30, 1999; however, there can be no assurance that it will meet this
objective by such date or by January 1, 2000.

The Year 2000 disclosure set forth above is intended to be a "Year 2000
statement" as such term is defined in the Year 2000 Information and Readiness
Disclosure Act of 1998 (the "Year 2000 Act") and, to the extent such disclosure
relates to year 2000 processing of the Company or to products or services
offered by the Company, is also intended to be "Year 2000 readiness disclosure"
as such term is defined in the Year 2000 Act.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
("Statement 130"). This Statement requires that all items that are required to
be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income
be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence
as other financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997 or the Company's fiscal year ending September
30, 1999. The Company plans to adopt this accounting standard as required. The
adoption of this standard will have no impact on the Company's earnings,
financial condition or liquidity, but will require the Company to classify items
of other comprehensive income in a financial statement and display the
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately in the equity
section of the balance sheet.

In June 1997, the FASB also issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
("Statement 131"). Statement 131 supersedes Statement of Financial Standards No.
14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, and establishes
new standards for reporting information about operation segments in annual
financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments
in interim financial reports. Statement 131 also establishes standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. Statement 131 is effective for periods beginning after December 15,
1997, or the Company's fiscal year end September 30, 1999. This Statement will
have no impact on the Company's financial statements, results of operations,
financial condition or liquidity.

In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities ("SOP 98-5"). SOP
98-5 requires costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, to
be expensed as incurred. Start-up activities are defined as those one-time
activities related to opening a new facility, introducing a new product or
service, conducting business in a new territory, conducting business with a new
process in an existing facility, or commencing a new operation. SOP 98-5 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 or the Company's
fiscal year ending September 30, 2000. The Company currently estimates the
adoption of SOP 98-5 will result in a change of approximately $2.1 million net
of tax which will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle.

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("Statement
133"). Statement 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. Statement 133 requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure the instrument at fair value. The
accounting changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use
of the derivative and the resulting designation. This Statement is effective for
all fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company intends to adopt
this accounting standard as required, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The
adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's earnings or financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. In the normal
course of business, the Company employs established policies and procedures to
manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The Company's objective in
managing its exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the impact of such
changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To
achieve its objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps to manage
net exposure to interest rate changes related to its portfolio of borrowings.
Notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements are used to measure interest
to be paid or received relating to such agreements and do not represent an
amount of exposure to credit loss. The fair value of interest rate swap
agreements is the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate
the swap agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest
rates. The Libor rate as of December 31, 1998 was 5.4%. The estimated amount the
Company would pay to terminate its interest rate swap agreements outstanding at
December 31, 1998 is approximately $3,668,000. The fair value of the Company's
debt, based on quoted market prices or current rates for similar instruments
with same maturities was approximately $755,747,000 and $743,332,000 December

                 AMENDMENT NO. 1 AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT


                  AMENDMENT NO. 1 AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of
March 5, 1998, (this "Amendment No. 1") by and among: The Multicare Companies,
Inc. and certain Subsidiaries identified on the signature pages hereto as
"Borrowers"; the institutions identified on the signature pages hereto as
"Lenders"; Mellon Bank, N.A. as Issuer of Letters of Credit and as
Administrative Agent; Citicorp USA, Inc. as Syndication Agent; First Union
National Bank as Documentation Agent; and NationsBank, N.A. as Syndication
Agent.

                                   Background


                  A Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 1997, ("the
Original Credit Agreement") was entered into by and among The Multicare
Companies, Inc. and certain of its Subsidiaries as Borrowers, Mellon Bank, N.A.
as Issuer of Letters of Credit and Administrative Agent, Citicorp USA, Inc. as
Syndication Agent, First Union National Bank as Documentation Agent,
Nationsbank, N.A. as Syndication Agent, and the Lenders and other Agents
identified therein. Terms are used in this Amendment No. 1 as defined in the
Original Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.

                  The Original Credit Agreement requires, among other things,
(1) that the Borrowers maintain a December 31 fiscal year, (2) that the
Borrowers deliver, among other financial statements, consolidated financial
statements of Genesis and its subsidiaries, which for those purposes, was
defined to include the Borrowers and (3) that certain dispositions be
consummated on or before December 31, 1997. The Borrowers have requested the
Agents and the Lenders to modify the terms of the Original Credit Agreement (a)
to permit the fiscal year of the Borrowers to be changed to September 30, (b) to
replace the requirement that the Borrowers deliver the aforesaid consolidated
financial statements (including the Borrowers) with a requirement that the
Borrowers deliver the financial statements of Genesis and its regularly
consolidated subsidiaries (which currently excludes the Borrowers) and (c) to
extend the date by which the Borrowers' institutional pharmacy business must be
sold. The Agents and the Lenders are willing to so modify the Original Credit
Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.


                  NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows.

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

                     (a) The change in the fiscal year of the Borrowers and 
                     Surety was made as of September 30, 1997 such that the
                     fiscal year ending September 30, 1998 will include four
                     full fiscal quarters;

                     (b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
                     continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect
                     to the amendments contained herein; and

                     (c) Each of the representations and warranties set forth in
                     the Credit Agreement is true and correct in all material
                     respects both before and after giving effect to the
                     amendments and transactions contemplated hereby as though
                     each such representation and warranty were made at and as
                     of the date hereof and as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective
                     Date.

                  3. Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. The amendments set forth in
Section 1 above and the waivers set forth in Section 4 below shall be effective 
on the date (the "Amendment No. 1 Effective Date") that each of the following 
conditions is satisfied:

                     3.1  Execution of Amendment. Each of the Borrowers and the 
Required Lenders shall have executed this Amendment No. 1 and the Surety shall
have executed the acknowledgement set forth below.

                     3.2  Other Documents and Information. The Administrative 
Agent shall have received such other documents and information as it shall
reasonably request.

                  4. Waiver. The Lenders waive any default that might have
occurred under those provisions of the Original Credit Agreement amended
pursuant to Section 1 above as a direct result of the failure to sell the
institutional pharmacy business prior to December 31, 1997 or as a direct result
of the change in the fiscal year prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. In
addition, the Lenders waive any default that might have occurred under the
Original Credit Agreement amended pursuant to Section 1 above as a direct result
of the failure of Multicare to deliver the consolidated financial statements of
Genesis and its consolidated Subsidiaries and Multicare and its consolidated
Subsidiaries (whether or not all such entities are consolidated under GAAP) as
at, and for the period ended, December 31, 1997, so long as the requirements to
deliver the financial statements specified in this Amendment No. 1 are
satisfied. The aforesaid waivers are limited to their express terms and do not
imply (a) any further waiver if the sale is not consummated by June 30, 1998 in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or (b) any other or future
waivers.

                  5. Counterparts. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which, when executed and 

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken
together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. A photocopied or
facsimile signature shall be deemed to be the functional equivalent of a
manually executed original for all purposes.

                  6.  Ratification. The Original Credit Agreement, as amended by
this Amendment No. 1, and the other Loan Documents are, and shall continue to
be, in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects confirmed, approved
and ratified. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned
Borrowers and Surety, in their capacity as pledgors under the Pledge Agreement,
confirm that the security interest granted pursuant to the Pledge Agreement
continues to secure all of the Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement)
and the undersigned Surety confirms that the Suretyship Agreement continues to
guaranty, and provide a suretyship for, all of the Guaranteed Obligations (as
defined in the Suretyship Agreement).

                  7.  Payment of Expenses. Without limiting other payment
obligations of the Borrowers set forth in the Loan Documents, the Borrowers
hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of this Amendment No. 1 and any other documents or instruments which
may be delivered in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP.

                  8.  Authorization to Agents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action (including, without limitation, signing
amendments to Loan Documents) as shall be consistent with the purposes hereof
and as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this
Amendment No. 1.

                  9.  Governing Law. This Amendment No. 1 shall be construed in
accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
without regard to choice of law principles.

                  10. References. From and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective
Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereof",
"hereunder" or words of like import, and all references to the Credit Agreement
in any and all Loan Documents, other agreements, instruments, documents,
certificates and writings of every kind and nature, shall be deemed to mean the
Original Credit Agreement as modified and amended by this Amendment No. 1 and as
the same may be further amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with the
terms thereof.

                                   (Multicare)

                  AMENDMENT NO. 2 AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of

Agent.

                                   Background

                  A Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 1997, was entered
into by and among The Multicare Companies, Inc. and certain of its Subsidiaries
as Borrowers, Mellon Bank, N.A. as Issuer of Letters of Credit and
Administrative Agent, Citicorp USA, Inc. as Syndication Agent, First Union
National Bank as Documentation Agent, NationsBank, N.A. as Syndication Agent,
and the Lenders and other Agents identified therein and was amended pursuant to
that certain Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of March 5, 1998. The Credit
Agreement, as so amended, is referred to herein as the "Current Credit
Agreement". The Current Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified,
restated or supplemented from time to time is herein referred to as the "Credit
Agreement" or the "Agreement". Terms are used in this Amendment No. 2 as defined
in the Current Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.

                  Concurrent with the execution of the original Credit Agreement
referred to above, an Affiliate of the Borrowers, Genesis Health Ventures, Inc.,
and certain of its Subsidiaries entered into a certain Third Amended and

Agreement are the same as the Lenders party to the Genesis Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Current Credit Agreement and the terms of the

obligations with respect to any tranche of the Current Credit Agreement must be
made concurrent with an assignment by such Lender of a similar percentage of its
rights and obligations under the same tranche of the Genesis Credit Agreement.

<PAGE>


                  The Genesis Credit Agreement is being amended as of the date
hereof to provide for, among other things, an increase in the amount of the
revolving credit commitment thereunder, subject to certain conditions precedent.
The parties thereto and the parties hereto have decided that, at the time that
those conditions are satisfied and the amount of the revolving credit commitment
under the Genesis Credit Agreement is increased (as defined below, the "Revolver
Increase Effective Date"), the requirement for the concurrent assignment
provisions respecting the revolving credit commitments and revolving credit
loans under the two agreements should be eliminated. (No change is desired with
respect to assignments of rights and obligations relative to the term loans.)

                  In addition, the parties to the Current Credit Agreement wish
to amend the terms thereof respecting Qualifying Interest Rate Hedging
Agreements to provide that Affiliates of Lenders (and not just Lenders) may be
parties to Qualifying Interest Rate Hedging Agreements and thereby become
entitled to security under the Pledge Agreement. Accordingly, the parties to the
Current Credit Agreement wish to amend the terms of the Current Credit Agreement
(a) to eliminate the concurrent assignment requirements with respect to the
revolving credit loans and revolving credit commitments under the Genesis Credit
Agreement as of the date that the amount of the Genesis revolving credit
commitment is increased, (b) to provide that Affiliates of Lenders may share in
the pledged collateral with respect to obligations under certain Interest Rate
Hedging Agreements, (c) to make certain other changes to conform certain
provisions in the Credit Agreement to those in the Genesis Credit Agreement and
(d) to modify certain other provisions of the Current Credit Agreement as more
fully set forth below.

                  NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows.


                                    Agreement

                  1. Amendments to Current Credit Agreement on Amendment No. 2
Effective Date. The Current Credit Agreement is amended in each of the following
respects, as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (as defined in Section 4
below).

                     1.1 New Definitions. Each of the following new definitions
shall be added to Section 11.1 of the Current Credit Agreement (Certain 
Definitions) in its correct alphabetical location and shall also apply in
construing this Amendment No. 2:

                     "Mandatorily Redeemable Stock" means all stock that is (i)
               redeemable, payable or required to be purchased or otherwise
               retired or extinguished (other than stock which is redeemable,
               payable or required to be purchased under all circumstances for
               consideration consisting solely of common stock of Multicare), or
               convertible into any Indebtedness of the issuer, (A) at a fixed
               or determinable date, whether by operation of a sinking fund or 






                                       2




<PAGE>


               otherwise, (B) at the option of any Person other than the issuer
               whether or not conditioned upon the occurrence of a circumstance
               or event, such as a change in control of the issuer) or (C) upon
               the occurrence of a condition not solely within the control of 
               the issuer, such as a redemption required to be made out of 
               future earnings or (ii) convertible into Mandatorily Redeemable
               Stock.

                  "Revolver Increase Effective Date" has the meaning ascribed to
               that term in the Genesis Credit Agreement.

                      1.2 Amendment to Certain Definitions. Each of the
following definitions set forth in Section 11.1 of the Current Credit Agreement
shall be amended in the manner specified below.

                          1.2.1 Applicable Margin Definition. The next-to-last 
sentence of the definition of "Applicable Margin" shall be amended in its 
entirety to read as follows:

               The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted five Business Days after
               receipt of the annual or quarterly Officer's Compliance 
               Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 and shall be based
               on the Adjusted Total Debt to Cash Flow Ratio set forth therein.

                          1.2.2 Indebtedness Definition. Clause (b) of the
definition of "Indebtedness" shall be amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

                          all (i) obligations of such Person evidenced by bonds,
debentures, notes or similar instruments and (ii) Mandatorily Redeemable Stock;

                          1.2.3 Qualifying Interest Rate Hedging Agreements
Definition. The definition of "Qualifying Interest Rate Hedging Agreements"
shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                            "Qualifying Interest Rate Hedging Agreements" means
               such Interest Rate Hedging Agreements as may be entered into from
               time to time pursuant to Section 6.12 above between any or all of
               the Borrowers, on the one hand, and any Lender Party or any 
               Affiliate of a Lender Party that satisfies the conditions set 
               forth in Section 10.14 above, on the other hand.

                      1.3 Change in Notice Requirements Respecting Prepayment of
Revolving Credit Loans. In order to provide for a shorter notice period for the
prepayment of certain RC Loans, the first sentence of Section 1.5(c)(i) of the
Current Credit Agreement (Application and Timing of Prepayments/Notice) shall be
amended by adding the following proviso thereto immediately preceding the
period:

                      provided, however, that for any prepayment of RC Loans 
                      (which is not part of a concurrent prepayment of Term 
                      Loans), the Borrowers shall 





                                       3



<PAGE>


                      give the Administrative Agent notice, in the case of a
                      prepayment of Prime Rate Loans, no later than 11:00 A.M.
                      (Philadelphia time) one (1) Business Day before the date 
                      of such prepayment and, in the case of a prepayment of
                      LIBO Rate Loans, no later than 11:00 A.M. (Philadelphia
                      time) three (3) Business Days before the date of such
                      prepayment.

                      1.4 Year 2000 Representation. A new paragraph (z) shall be
added immediately following paragraph (y) of Section 5.1 of the Current Credit
Agreement, which new paragraph shall read as follows:

                      (z) Year 2000 Compliance. Each of the Borrowers has 
                      reviewed the areas within its business and operations
                      which could be adversely affected by a computer failure to
                      recognize and perform properly date sensitive functions 
                      involving certain dates prior to, on or after January 1,
                      2000 ("Year 2000 Problem") and, if there are any such
                      areas, the Borrowers have developed and implemented plans
                      to avoid any Material Adverse Effect as a consequence of a
                      Year 2000 Problem. The Borrowers reasonably believe that
                      all internal computer operations that are material to
                      their respective business operations will be able to
                      perform properly date sensitive functions for all dates
                      before, on and after January 1, 2000 except to the extent
                      that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected
                      to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                      1.5 Waiver and Amendment of Financial Reporting
Requirements for Excluded Subsidiaries. The phrase "[i]f at any time that the
Cash Flow of the Excluded Subsidiaries in the aggregate exceeds 3% of the Cash
Flow of Multicare and its consolidated Subsidiaries," which appears in
subparagraphs (a)(i) and (b)(i) of Section 6.1 is hereby amended by replacing
"3%" with "5.0%." This amendment shall be retroactively effective as of the
Closing Date and any failure to comply with the provisions as written in the
Current Credit Agreement (i.e., with the "3%" reference) prior to the Amendment
No. 2 Effective Date is hereby waived so long as the Borrowers shall have been
in compliance with the terms thereof as amended hereby (i.e., the "5.0%"
reference).

                      1.6 Amendment of Indebtedness Covenant. In order to allow
for some amortization of Indebtedness incurred under paragraph (e) of Section
8.1 of the Current Credit Agreement prior to the Maturity Date, said paragraph
(e) of Section 8.1 shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                                (e) with respect to the Borrowers (but not the
                 Surety) other Indebtedness incurred from time to time, in an
                 aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed Fifteen
                 Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) at any time so long as such
                 Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to agreements or instruments
                 (i) which do not cause a Default or Event of Default hereunder,
                 (ii) which contain terms and conditions no more onerous than 
                 the terms and conditions hereof and (iii) pursuant to which no
                 more than five percent (5%) of the original principal amount of
                 such Indebtedness shall amortize (or be subject to required
                 prepayment) in any year;

                      1.7 Amendment of Lien Covenant. Paragraph (d) of Section
8.2 of the Current Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding the words "and
the related Licenses" after the words "real estate and equipment" in the first
line thereof.

                      1.8 Joinder of Certain Affiliates as Parties to Qualifying
Interest Rate Hedging Agreements. Article 10 of the Current Credit Agreement is
amended by adding a new Section 10.14 at the end thereof which shall read as
follows:

                      10.14 JOINDER OF AFFILIATES AS PARTIES TO QUALIFYING
                      INTEREST RATE HEDGING AGREEMENTS; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT.
                      Any Affiliate of a Lender Party that now or hereafter is a
                      party to an Interest Rate Hedging Agreement entered into 
                      with any Borrower or Borrowers pursuant to the terms of
                      this Agreement may become a secured party under the Pledge
                      Agreement (and the Interest Rate Hedging Agreement shall
                      thereby become a Qualifying Interest Rate Hedging 
                      Agreement secured by the Collateral under the Pledge
                      Agreement) if (i) the Administrative Agent consents in
                      writing to such Person becoming a secured party (such 
                      consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) such
                      Affiliate signs a Joinder to this Agreement agreeing to
                      the terms hereof. By signing a Joinder to this Agreement
                      in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
                      Agent, each such Affiliate shall be deemed to be a
                      "Lender" and a "Lender Party" for purposes of this Article
                      10 (but shall not be included as a Requisite Lender for
                      voting or other purposes) and shall be deemed to have
                      appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent for the
                      purposes set forth in the Loan Documents and to have
                      agreed to the exculpation and indemnification provisions
                      set forth in such Loan Documents relative to such agent.
                      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
                      Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to accept
                      any and all payments under the Loan Documents (including,
                      without limitation, the Pledge Agreement) on behalf of,
                      among others, such Affiliate and to make payments to,
                      among others, such Affiliate in accordance with the 
                      provisions of the Loan Documents and (b) such Affiliate
                      understands that any Qualifying Interest Rate Hedging
                      Agreement shall be secured pari passu with the Loans and
                      other Obligations for so long as the Obligations under the
                      Credit Agreement remain outstanding and so secured, but
                      that such Affiliate is not entitled to voting or other
                      rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

                  2. Amendments to the Current Credit Agreement on the Revolver
Increase Effective Date. Each of the following amendments to the Current Credit
Agreement shall be effective as of the Revolver Increase Effective Date.

                      2.1 Amendment of Special Intercreditor Provisions in
Connection with Severence of RC Commitments under Genesis Credit Agreement from
RC Commitments under Multicare Credit Agreement. Section 10 A.1 of the Current
Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:

                      Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Revolver
                      Increase Effective Date, certain "RC Lenders" as defined
                      in the Genesis Credit Agreement may not be Lenders
                      hereunder and certain RC Lenders hereunder may not be
                      "Lenders" as defined in the Genesis Credit Agreement.
                      Accordingly, all RC Lenders hereunder that are not Lenders
                      under the Genesis Credit Agreement agree to abide by the
                      special intercreditor provisions set forth in this Article
                      10A (or any successor provisions) and the special
                      intercreditor provisions set forth in Article 10A of the
                      Genesis Credit Agreement (or any successor provisions) as
                      if a party thereto. Without limiting the generality of the
                      foregoing, without the written consent of the necessary
                      Lenders under the Genesis Credit Agreement, the parties
                      hereto will not amend, modify, supplement or restate the
                      provisions of this Agreement (currently set forth in 8.16
                      above) which sets forth tests respecting when management
                      fees under the Multicare Management Agreement may be paid
                      in cash, which provisions are incorporated by reference
                      into the Multicare Management Agreement. The Lenders party
                      to the Genesis Credit Agreement are intended third party

                 AMENDMENT NO. 3 AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
                                   (Multicare)

                  AMENDMENT NO. 3 AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of
February 11, 1999, (this "Amendment No. 3") by and among: The Multicare
Companies, Inc. and certain Subsidiaries identified on the signature pages
hereto as "Borrowers"; the institutions identified on the signature pages hereto
as "Lenders"; Mellon Bank, N.A. as Issuer of Letters of Credit and as
Administrative Agent; Citicorp USA, Inc. as Syndication Agent; First Union
National Bank as Documentation Agent; and Bank of America (as successor by
merger to NationsBank, N.A.) as Syndication Agent.

                                   Background

                  A Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 1997, was entered
into by and among The Multicare Companies, Inc. and certain of its Subsidiaries
as Borrowers, Mellon Bank, N.A. as Issuer of Letters of Credit and
Administrative Agent, Citicorp USA, Inc. as Syndication Agent, First Union
National Bank as Documentation Agent, NationsBank, N.A. as Syndication Agent,
and the Lenders and other Agents identified therein and was amended pursuant to
that certain Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of March 5, 1998 and was further
amended pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of August 28,
1998. The Credit Agreement, as so amended, is referred to herein as the "Current
Credit Agreement". The Current Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended,
modified, restated or supplemented from time to time is herein referred to as
the "Credit Agreement" or the "Agreement". Terms are used in this Amendment No.
3 as defined in the Current Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.

                  The Borrowers have requested that the Adjusted Total Debt/Cash
Flow Ratio, the Adjusted Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio and the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio set forth in the Current Credit Agreement be modified for a
limited period and that the maximum amount of permitted rental payments in the
Current Credit Agreement be increased. The Lenders are willing to make such
changes to the Current Credit Agreement subject to the condition that the
Applicable Margin on LIBO Rate Loans be increased and subject to such other
terms and conditions as are more fully set forth below.

                  NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows.



                                    Agreement

                                       1

<PAGE>



             1. Amendments to Current Credit Agreement on Amendment No. 3
Effective Date. The Current Credit Agreement is amended in each of the following
respects, as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (as defined in Section 3
below).

                  1.1 Timing of Prepayments in Connection with Net Proceeds of
Dispositions. In order to provide for the prepayment of Loans with asset sale
proceeds promptly after the asset sale (rather than 364 days thereafter) and
eliminate the existing right to use proceeds of a disposition to effect an
acquisition, the first four sentences of paragraph (ii) of Section 1.5(b) are
deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

                  Promptly (but in no event more than ten Business Days) after
                  the date of any sale, assignment, transfer or other
                  disposition by any Borrower of any assets (other than pursuant
                  to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (e) of Section 8.5 below)
                  whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including a
                  disposition of equity, collectively, a "disposition"),
                  Multicare, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall prepay the Loans
                  by an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of
                  such disposition. No more than five (5) Business Days before
                  any proposed disposition, Multicare, on behalf of the
                  applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent in
                  writing (1) that such disposition is anticipated, (2) the
                  anticipated date of such disposition, (3) the anticipated date
                  of prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this paragraph (ii) and
                  (4) the amount of Net Cash Proceeds anticipated in connection
                  therewith. At least five (5) Business Days before the actual
                  prepayment, Multicare, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall
                  either confirm or correct the information provided in such
                  notice. Such confirmation or correction shall be deemed to be
                  an irrevocable notice of prepayment.

                  1.2 Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio. The covenant set
forth in Section 7.1(c) of the Current Credit Agreement is amended to provide
that, for the period commencing 10/1/98 and ending on 12/30/99, the Adjusted
Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be no greater than 7.25 to 1. At all other
times, the maximum permitted Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be as set
forth in the Current Credit Agreement.

                  1.3 Adjusted Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio. The covenant set
forth in Section 7.1(d) of the Current Credit Agreement is amended to provide
that, for the period commencing 10/1/98 and ending on 12/30/99, the Adjusted
Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be no greater than 5.25 to 1. At all other
times, the maximum permitted Adjusted Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be as
set forth in the Current Credit Agreement.

                  1.4 Delivery of Status Letters. A new paragraph (l) shall be
added to Section 6.1 of the Current Credit Agreement immediately following
paragraph (k) thereof as follows:

                  On each of June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999, Multicare, on
                  behalf of the Borrowers, shall deliver to the Administrative
                  Agent and each Lender a letter advising them of its plans and
                  the status of the implementation of those plans to cause an
                  event to occur or condition to exist which would result in
                  compliance with the required December 31, 1999 Adjusted Total
                  Debt/Cash Flow Ratio and required December 31, 1999 Adjusted
                  Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio.

                  1.5 Adjustment to Permitted Rental Expense. In order to allow
the Borrowers to incur additional rental expense, clause (c) of Section 8.7 of
the Current Credit Agreement (Leases) is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

                                    (c) Other leases which are not Capitalized
                  Leased or Synthetic Leases but only to the extent that the
                  aggregate Rental Expense of the Surety and the Borrowers with
                  respect to all such other leases does not exceed (i) during
                  the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, $25,000,000.00 and
                  (ii) during each fiscal year thereafter, an amount equal to
                  the amount permitted in the preceding year plus an additional
                  $2,000,000.00 (e.g., $27,000,000.00 in the fiscal year ending
                  September 30, 2000).

                  1.6 Applicable Margin Definition. In order to increase the
Applicable Margin on LIBO Rate Loans and add two additional pricing tiers, the
definition of Applicable Margin is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                                    "Applicable Margin" means a marginal rate of
                  interest which is added to the LIBO Rate or Prime Rate, as the
                  case may be, to determine the effective rate of interest on
                  Loans and other payments as specified in the Loan Documents.
                  Until the Officer's Compliance Certificate for the fiscal
                  quarter ending March 31, 1999 is delivered to the
                  Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to Section 6.1
                  above, the Applicable Margin (a) for LIBO Rate Loans shall be
                  the following: 3.0% for RC Loans or Tranche A Term Loans;
                  3.25% for Tranche B Term Loans; and 3.5% for Tranche C Term
                  Loans, and (b) for Prime Rate Loans shall be the following:
                  .75% for RC Loans and Tranche A Term Loans; 1.0% for Tranche B
                  Term Loans; and 1.25% for Tranche C Term Loans. Thereafter,
                  the Applicable Margin shall be determined in the following
                  manner:

                                    (a) For any RC Loans or Tranche A Term
                  Loans, the Applicable Margin shall be the percentage amount
                  set forth below under the caption "Applicable Margin for RC
                  Loans and Tranche A Term Loans" opposite the relevant Adjusted
                  Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio:

                       Adjusted Total          Applicable Margin for RC Loans
                       Debt/Cash Flow Ratio    and Tranche A Term Loans

                                    (b) For any Tranche B Term Loan, the
                  Applicable Margin at all times after the Amendment No. 3
                  Effective Date shall be 1.0% for Prime Rate Loans and 3.25%
                  for LIBO Rate Loans.

                                    (c) For any Tranche C Term Loan, the
                  Applicable Margin at all times after the Amendment No. 3
                  Effective Date shall be 1.25% for Prime Rate Loans and 3.5%
                  for LIBO Rate Loans.

                                    (d) The Applicable Margin for Swing Loans at
                  all times shall be zero.

                  The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted five Business Days
                  after receipt of the annual or quarterly Officer's Compliance
                  Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 and shall be
                  based on the Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio set forth
                  therein. At any time that such annual or quarterly Officer's
                  Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to
                  said Section 6.1 and is not so delivered, then the Applicable
                  Margin shall be the highest rate specified for the subject
                  Loan until the Officer's Compliance Certificate is so
                  delivered.

                  1.7 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Definition. In order to
provide greater flexibility to the Borrowers for the period commencing on
October 1, 1998 and ending December 30, 1999, the definition of "Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio" in Section 11.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is amended by
adding the following two sentences at the end thereof:

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for calculations of the Fixed
                  Charge Coverage Ratio with respect to the period commencing
                  October 1, 1998 and ending December 30, 1999, there shall not
                  be added to the denominator "principal payments scheduled or
                  required to be made on Total Funded Indebtedness for the four
                  fiscal quarters ending on, or most recently prior to, such
                  date of determination". For calculations made with respect to
                  any period ending after December 30, 1999, the calculation
                  shall be made without regard to the adjustment set forth in
                  the preceding sentence.

                  1.8 New Definition of Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. Section
11.1 of the Current Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following new
definition in its correct alphabetical location:

                                    "Amendment No. 3 Effective Date" means the
                  date that Amendment No. 3 to this Agreement becomes effective
                  as more particularly set forth in said Amendment No. 3 hereto.

                  1.9 Amendment to Assignment Provisions. In order to allow
assignments by Lenders of smaller amounts, Section 12.9(c) of the Current Credit
Agreement is amended by replacing the phrase "Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000.00)" in each of clauses (iii) and (iv) thereof with the phrase
"Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)".

             2. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Lenders,
the Issuer and the Agents to agree to amend the Current Credit Agreement, each
of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, makes the following representations and
warranties, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment No.
3.

                                    (a) The execution, delivery and performance
                  of this Amendment No. 3 does not require any consent of,
                  notice to, or filing with any governmental entity or any other
                  third party, does not violate the terms of any agreement or
                  instrument binding on any Borrower (including, without
                  limitation, the constituent documents of such Borrower) or
                  violate any Law applicable to such Borrower. On and after the
                  Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Current Credit Agreement
                  as amended by the amendments hereunder to be effective on the
                  Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, shall be the legal, valid and
                  binding obligation of each Borrower enforceable against such
                  Borrower in accordance with its terms.

                                    (b) No Default or Event of Default has
                  occurred and is continuing, after giving effect to the
                  amendments contained herein.

                                    (c) Each of the representations and
                  warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement is true and
                  correct in all material respects both before and after giving
                  effect to the amendments and transactions contemplated hereby
                  as though each such representation and warranty were made at
                  and as of the date hereof and as of the Amendment No. 3
                  Effective Date.

             3. Amendment No. 3 Effective Date; Waiver. The amendments set forth
in Section 1 (Amendments to Current Credit Agreement on Amendment No. 3
Effective Date) above shall be effective on the date (the "Amendment No. 3
Effective Date") that each of the following conditions is satisfied:

                  3.1 Execution of Amendment. Each of the Borrowers and the
Required Lenders shall have executed this Amendment No. 3 and the Surety shall

                  3.2 Other Documents and Information. The Administrative Agent
shall have received such other documents and information as it shall reasonably
request.

Also effective on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, each Default or Event of
Default that would have existed had this Amendment No. 3 not become effective is
hereby waived to the extent and only to the extent that it does not exist or
would not exist after giving effect to this Amendment No. 3. This waiver is
limited in scope to its precise terms and does not imply any other or future
waivers.

             4. Counterparts. This Amendment No. 3 may be executed in
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. A
photocopied or facsimile signature shall be deemed to be the functional
equivalent of a manually executed original for all purposes.

             5. Ratification. The Current Credit Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment No. 3, and the other Loan Documents, are, and shall continue to be, in
full force and effect and are hereby in all respects confirmed, approved and
ratified.

             6. Payment of Fees and Expenses. Without limiting other payment
obligations of the Borrowers set forth in the Loan Documents, the Borrowers
hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay (a) all costs and expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of this Amendment No. 3 and any other documents or instruments which
may be delivered in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, (b) a
fee to each Lender who signs and returns a signature page hereto no later than
5:00 p.m. on February 11, 1999 in an amount equal to .2% of such Lender's total
Commitment under the Agreement and (c) such other fees as Multicare has agreed
to pay in connection herewith.

             7. Authorization to Agent. The Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to take such action (including, without limitation, signing
amendments to Loan Documents) as shall be consistent with the purposes hereof
and as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this
Amendment No. 3.

             8. Governing Law. This Amendment No. 3 shall be construed in
accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
without regard to choice of law principles. 

             9. References. From and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date,
each reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereof",
"hereunder" or words of like import, and all references to the Credit Agreement
in any and all Loan Documents, other agreements, instruments, documents,
certificates and writings of every kind and nature, shall be deemed to mean the
Current Credit Agreement as modified and amended by this Amendment No. 3 and as
the same may be further amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with the
terms thereof.
