                  passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a
                  default under the lease; and that it has the absolute right to
                  mortgage, grant and convey the Mortgaged Property free of the
                  interest of any other Person except for any interest presently
                  of record;

                                            (iii) No executive officer of any
                  Borrower has been notified, or has knowledge, of any
                  notification having been filed with regard to, a Release on,
                  into, about or beneath the Mortgaged Property for which such
                  Borrower may be held liable; and

                                            (iv) No Borrower has received any
                  summons, citation, notice of violation, administrative order,
                  directive, letter or other written communication, from any
                  judicial or administrative body or governmental or
                  quasi-governmental authority concerning any intentional or
                  unintentional action or omission related to the generation,
                  storage, transportation, handling, transfer, disposal or
                  treatment of Environmental Concern Materials in violation of
                  any Environmental Law or related to any Release or threat of
                  Release of Environmental Concern Materials.

                  1.6 Monthly Financial Reports. A new paragraph (m) shall be
added to Section 6.1 of the Current Credit Agreement immediately following
paragraph (l) thereof as follows:

                                    (m) Monthly Operating Reports. As soon as
                  practicable, and in any event within 30 days after the end of
                  each month, Multicare, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall
                  furnish to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each
                  Lender, the following operating data for the Borrowers: a
                  census, census mix, total accounts payable and accounts
                  receivable as of the end of such month, and net free cash flow
                  as of the end of such month, all of which shall be in form
                  acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

                  1.7 Insurance. Section 6.8 of the Current Credit Agreement is
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                           6.8 Insurance. (a) Each Borrower shall maintain with
                  financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with
                  respect to its properties and business and against such
                  liabilities, casualties and contingencies and of such types
                  and in such amounts as are customary in the case of Persons
                  engaged in the same or similar businesses or having similar
                  properties similarly situated, including insurance covering
                  its respective properties, buildings, machinery, equipment,
                  tools, furniture, fixtures and operations, and medical
                  malpractice, professional liability and public liability, as
                  well as "stop loss" and business


                                      -5-

                  interruption. The Borrowers shall (i) deliver to the
                  Administrative Agent the certificates evidencing such
                  insurance annually and at least thirty days prior to the
                  anniversary date of such insurance policies and any other time
                  requested by the Administrative Agent and (ii) have the
                  Administrative Agent named as additional insured and lender
                  loss payee, as appropriate, under each such policy. Without
                  limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall
                  keep all buildings and improvements now or hereafter erected
                  upon the Mortgaged Properties insured for the benefit of the
                  Administrative Agent against loss by fire and other casualties
                  and hazards required by the Administrative Agent, upon terms
                  and with insurance companies and in such amounts as shall
                  substantially cover any loss related to such properties.

                                    (b) So long as no Event of Default has
                  occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may settle all
                  casualty damage and other claims which do not exceed
                  (individually or combined with other related claims)
                  $5,000,000 consistent with past practice and reasonable
                  business judgment and may demand, receive and receipt for all
                  moneys becoming payable thereunder and under all condemnation
                  awards which do not exceed (individually or combined with
                  other related awards) $5,000,000. The Borrowers shall promptly
                  notify the Administrative Agent and/or the Administrative
                  Agent upon the occurrence of any condemnation, or threatened
                  condemnation, affecting the Mortgaged Property, or any
                  casualty damage or other claim, in each case if the amount
                  involved exceeds the $5,000,000 value referred to above or if
                  an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (any such
                  claim or condemnation award being herein referred to as an
                  "Agent-Involved Claim"). No Borrower shall settle with any
                  insurance company or public entity or authority for any
                  Agent-Involved Claim without the Administrative Agent's prior
                  written approval thereof. The proceeds of any Agent-Involved
                  Claim shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent, and
                  the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may apply the
                  amount so collected, or any part thereof, toward the payment
                  of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, or
                  toward the alteration, reconstruction, repair or restoration
                  of the damaged and/or untaken portion, as the case may be, of
                  the Mortgaged Property or other Additional Security on such
                  terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent shall in its
                  sole discretion require.

                  1.8 Grant of Additional Security by Joining Subsidiary.
Section 6.10 is amended to add after the first sentence thereof the following
sentence which shall read as follows:

                  Each Borrower shall cause all other material assets and
                  property (other than Excluded Assets) to be pledged or
                  mortgaged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security
                  Agreement and/or the Mortgages.

                  1.9 Affirmative Covenants with Respect to the Additional
Security. Article 6 of the Current Credit Agreement is amended to incorporate
Sections 6.19 and 6.20 which shall read as follows:


                                      -6-
<PAGE>
                           6.19 MORTGAGED PREMISES AND OTHER ADDITIONAL
                  SECURITY.

                                    (a) Payment of Obligations; Protection of
                  Liens. Each Borrower will pay all sums due and becoming due
                  under the Mortgages on the Mortgaged Properties, all such
                  payments to be made as and when due. Each Borrower shall
                  preserve, protect and defend the title, validity and priority
                  of the Mortgages on the Mortgaged Properties and the Liens on
                  the other Additional Security against all claims and demands
                  whatsoever, subject to Permitted Liens and dispositions
                  permitted under this Agreement.

                                    (b) Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Subject to
                  the provisions of Section 6.9 (Payment of Taxes and Other
                  Charges), each Borrower shall pay, prior to the accrual of any
                  interest or penalty thereon, all taxes (including, without
                  limitation, all real estate taxes and corporate taxes), water
                  and sewer rents, charges, claims, assessments, liens and
                  encumbrances now or hereafter assessed with respect to the
                  Mortgaged Properties, and the premiums on all policies of
                  insurance held by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of
                  Section 6.8 (Insurance) above.

                                    (c) Repair and Condition of Additional
                  Security. The Borrowers shall keep the Mortgaged Property and
                  improvements thereon and the other Additional Security in good
                  condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted and
                  shall not remove, demolish or materially alter the buildings
                  or improvements on the Mortgaged Property (except to the
                  extent that, in the reasonable business judgment of the
                  Borrower that owns or leases the applicable property, such
                  demolition, removal or alteration is in the best interest of
                  such Borrower and not adverse to the interests of the Secured
                  Parties taken as a whole), nor commit or suffer waste with
                  respect thereto. The Borrowers shall materially comply with
                  all laws, rules, regulations and ordinances made or
                  promulgated by lawful authority which may now or hereafter
                  become applicable to the Mortgaged Property or other
                  Additional Security, and the Borrowers shall prohibit any use
                  of the Mortgaged Property which would permit the confiscation
                  or seizure thereof. The Borrowers shall permit the
                  Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to
                  time to enter upon the Mortgaged Property and the buildings
                  and improvements thereon erected for the purpose of inspecting
                  and appraising the same, and shall make restorations and
                  replacements reasonably required by the Administrative Agent.
                  The Borrowers shall not take or permit any action with respect
                  to the Mortgaged Property or other Additional Security which
                  will in any manner impair the security of the Mortgage on the
                  Mortgaged Property or the Lien on the other Additional
                  Security.

                                    (d) Administrative Agent's Right to Cure. In
                  the event of the failure of any Borrower to pay the taxes and
                  other charges set forth in Section 6.19(b) (Taxes and
                  Insurance Premiums), or to furnish and pay for the insurance
                  as set forth in Section 6.8 (Insurance), or to keep the
                  Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair as provided in
                  subsection 6.19(c) (Repair and Condition of Mortgaged
                  Property), the Administrative Agent may, at its


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

                  option, but without any obligation to do so, pay any or all
                  such items, together with penalties and interest thereon, and
                  procure and pay for such insurance and repairs; and any such
                  Agent may at any time and from time to time advance such
                  additional sum or sums as such Agent in its sole discretion
                  may deem necessary to protect the security of the Mortgage on
                  the Mortgaged Property. All such sums so paid or advanced by
                  the Administrative Agent shall immediately and without demand
                  be repaid by the Borrowers, together with interest thereon at
                  the Default Rate, and shall be added to the principal
                  indebtedness secured by the Mortgage on the Mortgaged
                  Property. The production of a receipt by the Administrative
                  Agent shall be conclusive proof of a payment or advance
                  authorized hereby, and the amount and validity thereof.

                                    (e) Obligations under Leases. Each Borrower
                  who is a tenant or subtenant under a lease with respect to a
                  Mortgaged Property shall perform all of its obligations under
                  such lease and send to the Administrative Agent a copy of any
                  notice relating to default, termination or the like relating
                  to such lease within one (1) Business Day after receipt
                  thereof by such Borrower. The Administrative Agent is hereby
                  granted the right (but not the obligation) to cure any default
                  by any Borrower under a lease.

                                    (f) Environmental Laws. Each Borrower
                  covenants and agrees with each Lender Party to comply (and to
                  cause all occupants of the Mortgaged Property to comply) in
                  all material respects with all Environmental Laws, and to give
                  prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent of any
                  violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law with
                  respect to the Mortgaged Property. Without limiting any other
                  indemnification provision, each Borrower will indemnify and
                  defend each Lender Party and hold each Lender Party harmless
                  from any loss, liability, damage, claim, action or cause of
                  action, including, without limitation, court costs and
                  attorney's fees, consultants' fees and any costs associated
                  with any Remedial Action, arising from any violation or
                  alleged violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the
                  Mortgaged Property owned or leased by such Borrower, which
                  undertaking shall not be subject to any limitation on such
                  Borrower's liability as may be contained in any Loan Document,
                  and which shall survive repayment of the Loan Obligations
                  and/or the foreclosure of the Mortgage on the applicable
                  Mortgaged Property.

                           6.20     FURTHER ASSURANCES.

                                    (a) The Borrowers shall continue to use
                  commercially reasonable efforts to provide additional
                  Mortgages (including leasehold mortgages) on all real property
                  owned or leased by the Borrowers other than the Excluded
                  Assets provided, however, at a minimum, the Borrowers shall
                  cause,

                                            (i) at least 61 Mortgages on owned

                  shall execute and deliver such documents and statements as the
                  Administrative Agent may reasonably request and shall take any

                           7.2 CALCULATION OF FINANCIAL COVENANTS. (a) The
                  financial covenants set forth in this Article 7 shall be
                  maintained continuously and shall be tested at the end of each
                  fiscal quarter (based on the financial information delivered
                  pursuant to Section 6.1 (Reporting Requirements) above) and at
                  such other times as may be required by the terms of this
                  Agreement.

                                    (b) Following the effective date of any
                  Acquisition that is effected by Multicare or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries and that is permitted under Section
                  8.4 (Acquisitions, Etc.) below, the financial covenants set
                  forth in this Article 7 shall be computed on a pro forma basis
                  as if the effective date of such Acquisition had been the
                  first day of the earliest of the four fiscal quarters ended
                  on, or most recently prior to, such actual date of the
                  Acquisition. For purposes of such computation, the Borrowers
                  may elect to make pro forma income statement adjustments at
                  the time of the effective date of such Acquisition under the
                  following circumstances: (i) adjustments to reflect the
                  elimination of that portion of salary and employee benefit
                  expenses that will no longer be incurred after the
                  Acquisition, to the extent demonstrated by Multicare to the
                  satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, and (ii) adjustments
                  to reflect any other savings in expenses which will be
                  realized by such Person so acquired as a consequence of such
                  Acquisition, to the extent demonstrated by Multicare to the
                  satisfaction of the Administrative Agent. Following the
                  effective date of any disposition that is effected by
                  Multicare or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and that is
                  permitted under Section 8.5 (Dispositions) below, the
                  financial covenants set forth in this Article 7 shall be
                  computed on a pro forma basis as if the effective date of such
                  disposition had been the first day of the earliest of the four
                  fiscal quarters ended on, or most recently prior to, such
                  actual date of disposition. Unless otherwise agreed to by the
                  Required Lenders, the financial condition and results of
                  operations of the Excluded Subsidiaries shall not be combined
                  with those of the Borrowers for purposes of calculating the
                  financial covenants set forth in this Article 7.

                                    (c) For purposes of determining the Fixed
                  Charge Coverage Ratio, the Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio
                  and the Adjusted Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio, the amount of
                  Cash Flow, Interest Expense, income taxes, Rental Expenses and
                  principal payments required to be made on Total Funded
                  Indebtedness (and each component of the foregoing):

                                            (i) will be calculated as the
                                    product of two (2) times the two most
                                    recently completed fiscal quarters for the
                                    reporting periods beginning with the quarter
                                    ended 6/30/99 and thereafter through and
                                    including the quarter ending 9/30/00;

                                            (ii) will be calculated as the
                                    product of four-thirds (4/3) times the three
                                    most recently completed fiscal quarters for
                                    the reporting periods ending 12/31/00 and
                                    3/31/01; and

                                            (iii) will be calculated on a
                                    rolling four quarter basis for each quarter
                                    ended prior to 6/30/99 and from and after
                                    6/30/01.

thereof:

                  and except for the Permitted Put/Call Amendment.

following two conditions (a) the date the Permitted Put/Call Amendment is
effective and (b) the date Genesis receives an aggregate amount equal to Fifty
Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in cash for the sale of common stock on
substantially the terms set forth in the Sponsor Letter of Intent, Section 8.16
of the Current Credit Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

                           8.16 MANAGEMENT FEE. The Borrowers shall not pay
                  management fees under the Multicare Management Agreement in
                  any fiscal year (including the payment in such year of accrued
                  management fees in accordance with the third sentence of this
                  Section 8.16) in excess of 6% of the consolidated net revenue
                  of the Borrowers, provided however that, to the extent such
                  management fees in any fiscal year (including the payment in
                  such year of accrued management fees in accordance with the
                  third sentence of this Section 8.16) would exceed 4% of the
                  consolidated net revenue of the Borrowers, such excess amount
                  shall be payable only to the extent that, both before and
                  after giving effect to such payment, (i) there exists no Event
                  of Default or Default, (ii) Borrower's Fixed Charge Coverage
                  Ratio shall be not less than 1.4 for the two most recent
                  completed fiscal quarters of the Borrowers, and (iii) the
                  Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio for the two most recently
                  completed fiscal quarters of the Borrowers shall be less than
                  4.00. Such management fees may be accrued but not paid except
                  that the Borrowers may not accrue more than 4% (on an
                  annualized basis) of the management fees due under the
                  Multicare Management Agreement in any fiscal year. Management
                  Fees accrued in accordance with the foregoing sentence may be
                  paid in accordance with the first sentence of this Section
                  8.16 to the extent they do not exceed in any fiscal year 4% of
                  the consolidated net revenue of the Borrowers. All such
                  management fees shall be subordinated to the obligations of
                  the Borrowers hereunder in accordance with the terms contained
                  in the Multicare Management Subordination Agreement as in
                  effect on the date hereof. No Borrower shall agree, or permit
                  Surety to agree, with any Person (other than the Lender


                                      -12-

Amendment No. 4) shall remain in effect.

                  to the provisions of Section 6.20 (Further Assurances) above,
                  the Administrative Agent ceases to have a first-priority
                  perfected security interest in the material assets of the
                  Borrowers (other than the Excluded Assets) subject only to

                  Borrowers shall permit funds to be deposited in a deposit

                  agreement or condition of any Loan Document to which the
                  Lenders (or the Administrative Agent) are party may be
                  amended, and any right under the Loan Documents may be waived,
                  if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is
                  signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent
                  at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided, however,
                  if the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent are
                  affected thereby, such amendment or waiver must be executed by
                  the Administrative Agent; and provided, further, that any
                  amendment or waiver of the terms of Article 3 hereof or any

                  (and any amendments to any Letter of Credit, itself, need only
                  be approved by the Borrowers and the Issuer); and provided,
                  further, that no such amendment or waiver shall be effective
                  unless in writing and signed by each Lender referred to below,
                  if it would

                                    (a) increase such Lender's Commitment or the
                  outstanding amount of such Lender's Loans or Letters of Credit
                  Participations, or

                                    (b) extend the maturity of any Loan held by
                  such Lender, or the time of any scheduled principal payment of
                  any Loan of such Lender;

                                    (c) decrease the rate of interest or amount
                  of fees due to such Lender or decrease the principal amount in
                  respect of any Loan of such Lender or extend the time of
                  payment of interest or fees due to such Lender, provided that
                  the written consent of the Required Lenders, rather than the
                  consent of all Lenders, shall be sufficient to waive
                  imposition of the Default Rate,

                                    (d) reduce or waive any payment owing to

                  required to consent to any proposed action under this
                  Agreement before such action may be taken under this Agreement
                  if such change could cause such Lender to lose its right to
                  participate in such consent;

                  and provided, further, that no such amendment or waiver shall
                  be effective unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders
                  if it would

                                            (i) amend the definition of
                  "Required Lenders" or

                                            (ii) release any Borrower of its
                  Obligations or release any guaranty or collateral security
                  granted pursuant to the Loan Documents;

                  provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall, without the
                  consent of any Person, release any Borrower, guarantor or
                  collateral security granted pursuant to the Loan Documents,
                  (A) as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, or


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

                  (B) in connection with a disposition permitted under Section
                  8.5 above (other than a disposition to another Borrower) or as
                  may be otherwise provided under the Loan Documents and
                  provided, further, that for purposes of determining whether"
                  all Lenders", "the Required Lenders" or "any Lender" has
                  consented to any amendment or waiver, no effect shall be given
                  to the determination of any Lender who has lost its right to
                  vote pursuant to Sections 1.3(c), 1.3(e)(ii), or 1.6(e) and
                  provided, further, any amendment to cash collateral or cash
                  management documents that may be entered into may be amended
                  by the Administrative Agent without the Required Lenders.

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
                  Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to take such
                  action as it deems necessary or desirable (including, without
                  limitation, the execution and filing of UCC-3 termination
                  statements or the giving of direction to another Person to do
                  the same) to release any security interest referred to in the
                  proviso to this clause (ii).

                  Further, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may amend or
                  modify the provisions of Article 10 hereof (except for Section
                  10.9 (Successor Administrative Agent) and paragraph (b) of
                  Section 10.12 (Other Agents) and Article 10A hereof) without
                  the need for any consent or approval from the Borrowers, it
                  being acknowledged that the Borrowers are not third party
                  beneficiaries of the provisions of said Article 10 (except for
                  Section 10.9 (Successor Administrative Agent) and paragraph
                  (b) of Section 10.12 (Successor Agent)) and (y) without the
                  consent of any Lenders, the Administrative Agent may enter
                  into amendments and modifications to this Agreement and the
                  other Loan Documents as necessary or desirable to cure any
                  ambiguities herein or therein or to add additional Borrowers
                  or add additional Collateral. Reference is made to Article 10A
                  of the Genesis Credit Agreement which affects the right of the
                  parties hereto to amend certain provisions set forth in
                  Section 12.9 below without the consent of certain Lenders
                  party thereto; accordingly, when amending Section 12.9 below,
                  consideration shall be given to the provisions of said Section
                  10A of the Genesis Credit Agreement.

                  1.37 Consents to Assignments.  The eighth line of Section
12.9(c) is amended by changing "consent" to "consents" both places it appears.

                  1.38 Incorporation of Terms. The terms of this Amendment No. 4
and Schedule 11.1 attached hereto are hereby incorporated into the Credit
Agreement as if fully set forth therein.

Issuer and the Agents to agree to amend the Current Credit Agreement, each of
the Borrowers, jointly and severally, makes the following representations and
