JUST LIKE HOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Just Like Home, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have not changed their
accounting and reporting policies from those stated in the 1996 annual report.
These unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related
disclosures included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1996, and also the restated audited financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's 8-K filing dated April 14, 1997, and amended
June 23, 1997.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Primary net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common
stock equivalents are not included in the calculation as their impact would be
anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATION

On April 10, 1997, Community Assisted Living Centers, Inc. (Community) was
merged into the Company. At December 31, 1996 Community had approximately
$913,000 in assets and approximately $9,000 in liabilities. This business
combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the Company reported $861,138 of
revenues and a net loss of ($665,954). Community was not in operation for this
entire period. In 1997, prior to consummation of the business combination with
the Company, Community recorded $12,990 of revenue and a net loss of ($132,246).

NOTE 4 - FUTURE ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

Comprehensive Income: In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting of
Comprehensive Income, which established standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses)
in a full set of financial statements. This statement also requires that all
items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive


                                       5
<PAGE>   7
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.
Earlier application is permitted. Reclassification of financial statements for
earlier periods provided for a comparative purpose is required. Management does
not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 130 will have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise: In June 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board also issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information, which establishes standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports
issued to shareholders. This statement also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
This statement requires the reporting of financial and descriptive information
about an enterprise's reportable operating segments.

This statement is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information
for earlier years is to be restated. The Company has not yet determined the
impact adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have on its financial statements.


NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND LIQUIDITY

Private Placement: On March 27, 1997, the Company issued a private placement
memorandum offering up to 2,500,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase
price of $1.00 per share. The Company has been using the proceeds of the
offering to pay certain then existing liabilities of the Company, to pay
operating expenses, to fund development and start-up costs, and for general
corporate purposes. The private placement closed on April 10, 1997, and the
Company received approximately $1,510,000 in proceeds.

REIT Financing: The Company entered into an agreement on April 30, 1997, with
Health Care REIT, Inc., a real estate investment trust (the "REIT"), for up to
$41,800,000 in operating lease financings for assisted living facilities. The
initial financing was completed on July 18, 1997, and involved the
sale-leaseback of four assisted living facilities owned by the Company for an
aggregate sale price of $2,700,000.

Going Concern: The Company has experienced recurring losses and at December 31,
1996 had limited resources. On April 10, 1997, the management of Community ("New
Management") took effective control of the Company. In addition to the events
described above, New Management plans to dispose of the property held for sale
at its carrying value, sell certain operating assets to an assisted-living
facility real estate investment trust and lease them back, and improve operating
results at facilities managed by the Company. Current projections and plans
indicate that the Company will have sufficient resources to continue as a going
concern.

Revenues

Nine Months

Total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 increased by
44% from approximately $1,429,000 in 1996 to approximately $2,055,000 in 1997.
Resident fee income increased 60% from $818,000 in 1996 to $1,308,000 in 1997
due to the acquisition of Charis Place in March 1996 and two newly constructed
facilities completed in July and December of 1996. Consulting Fees decreased
from $384,000 in 1996 to $336,000 in 1997 due to the sale of Project Market
Decisions, Inc. effective July 1, 1997. In addition, Just Like Family, Inc., the
Company's companion care service subsidiary, reflected revenues of $18,000
during its start up phase in 1996 and posted revenues of $250,000 in 1997.

Three Months

Total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 increased
slightly from approximately $567,000 in 1996 to approximately $577,000 in 1997.
This change was due primarily to the increased companion care revenues of
$78,000, additional assisted living facilities revenues of $114,000 and was
offset by the reduction of consulting revenues which were $144,000 in 1996 and
$0 in 1997. Other Income includes $76,000 of gain from the sale of Project
Market Decisions, Inc. in 1997.

Expenses 

Nine Months

Total expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 increased by
36%, from approximately $2,422,000 in 1996, to approximately $3,292,000 in 1997.
Assisted living operating expenses increased from $544,000 in 1996 to $1,040,000
in 1997 due to newly acquired and constructed facilities. Companion care costs
increased from $96,000 in 1996 to $308,000 in 1997 due to increased volume and
the start up of new geographic areas. General and administrative expenses were
up from $1,253,000 in 1996 to $1,350,000 in 1997. This increase was caused by
several factors, including bad debt allowances totaling $98,000 against
receivables from the National Foundation on Gerontology and a franchisee, and
$95,000 additional costs involved with settlement of outstanding contractual
obligations.

Three Months

Total expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 increased by
17%, from approximately $962,000 in 1996 to approximately $1,126,000 in 1997.
Operational expenses of the assisted living facilities increased from $237,000
in 1996, to $420,000 in 1997 attributable primarily to acquired and newly
constructed facilities. Companion care expenses increased from $52,000 in 1996
to $115,000 in 1997 due to increased volume and the start up of new market
areas. General and administrative expenses were down from $482,000 in 1996 to
$436,000 in 1997.

Interest Expense

Nine Months

Interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 increased
from approximately $208,000 in 1996 to approximately $319,000 in 1997 due to the
inclusion of the Charis Place, Inc. acquisition with its associated debt and the
opening of two additional facilities with their associated debt. Also, the
company incurred debt for working capital totaling $850,000 during late 1996.

Three Months

Interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 increased
from approximately $89,000 in 1996 to approximately $97,000 in 1997. The same
factors effecting the six-month Interest Expense combine to affect the second
quarter.

Loss Before Income Taxes

As a result of the above, the Company incurred a loss before taxes of
approximately ($1,486,000) for the 1997 period as compared to a loss of
approximately ($1,137,000) for the 1996 period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 the Company sustained a loss of
approximately $1,486,000. This resulted primarily from the Company not having a
sufficient number of facilities in operation to generate necessary income to
cover home office overhead costs and the carrying costs associated with
non-income producing properties. The Company's merger with Community resolved
the immediate short-term cash requirements of the Company. Additionally,
simultaneously with the closing of the merger, the Company closed a private
placement of 1,510,000 shares of its Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00
per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,510,000. The Company also is
offering for sale two parcels of land that are not consistent with the Company's
current plans to focus on smaller facilities in more rural communities. The
Company is obligated to apply all of the net proceeds of these sales to the
reduction of certain indebtedness of the Company. Therefore, these transactions,
if completed, will not directly provide additional working capital, but they
should reduce the debt burden of the Company and the corresponding interest
expense. In addition, effective July 1, 1997 the Company sold the operations of
its subsidiary, Project Market Decisions. Management had determined



                                       8
<PAGE>   10
that this consulting business did not directly add to the renewed focus on
development and operation of assisted living facilities. The operations were
sold for $175,000 of which the Company received $125,000 in cash and the
remainder in a 2 year note receivable.

The Company entered into an agreement on April 30, 1997, with Health Care REIT,
Inc., a real estate investment trust (the "REIT"), for up to $41,800,000 of
financing for assisted living facilities. The initial financing was completed on
July 18, 1997, and involved the sale-leaseback of four assisted living
facilities owned by the Company for an aggregate sale price of $2,700,000. Each
phase of the REIT financing is subject to numerous conditions, including
satisfaction of certain financial coverage tests by the Company. The initial
REIT financing provided the Company with approximately $1,000,000 ($750,000 from
REIT proceeds and the release of a $250,000 of certificate of deposit held as
collateral by the mortgage lender) in additional working capital after the
payment of certain long-term and short-term indebtedness related to the four
facilities sold to the REIT. Financing of a fifth existing facility for a sale
price of $1,300,000 is currently in process. This financing has been delayed due
to certain environmental contamination of groundwater caused by conditions at an
adjoining property. The Company believes, after consultation with counsel, that
it has no liability for the groundwater contamination or the costs of
remediation. The Company anticipates that the REIT sale-leaseback financing of
this facility will proceed as soon as the adjoining landowner, with the
assistance of the Company, obtains a commitment from the State funding program
for the necessary clean-up. The Company anticipates that an additional $750,000
in working capital will be provided from the sale of this facility.

The ultimate financial success of the Company will depend largely upon its
ability to develop or acquire a sufficient number of assisted living facilities
to cover the operating expenses of these facilities and to cover the home office
expenses of the Company. To that end, the Company commenced construction of a
new 42-unit facility on August 4, 1997, and expects to complete that facility in
February 1998, on schedule and within budget (approximately $2,100,000). The
Company has acquired the sites and related permits and approvals for three
additional facilities (42-52 units each). The Company anticipates that
construction of these facilities will commence in November, 1997 and January
1998. The REIT has issued commitment letters for the financing of all three of
these properties, with closings scheduled for November 1997 for two of the new
projects.

The remaining $30,700,000 of REIT funding will be available, subject to
continuing satisfaction of the various financial and other covenants in the
agreement, to fund approximately 15 assisted living facilities in the eastern
United States. The financing commitment expires on May 1, 2000.

As of September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately
$823,000. Operating losses are expected to continue to occur until additional
facilities are in operation. It is anticipated that existing working capital and
the sale-leaseback of an existing building will fund these losses. The primary
cash needs of the Company relate to start-up costs associated with constructing
and opening new facilities, projected operating losses for those facilities
until they reach a stabilized occupancy and certain corporate office expense
until all facilities are generating sufficient cash flow to cover those
expenses.

The rate at which the Company can develop these sites and future sites will be
directly affected by the continuing availability of the REIT financing and the
Company's ability to generate or raise the cash necessary to finance the
anticipated start-up costs associated with opening new facilities. Among the
financial covenants that must be satisfied by the Company prior to any future
construction financings with the REIT are requirements that the Company fund
cash reserves to cover customary start-up operating losses of the new facility,
obtain a letter of credit amounting to 5% of the development cost, and meet
certain financial covenants specified in the REIT lease agreement. If the
Company is unable to



                                       9
<PAGE>   11
raise additional capital, it is unlikely to be able to satisfy these conditions
in the foreseeable future, and thus would be unable to utilize the financing
available from the REIT. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that it will seek
additional equity capital in the next six months in a private placement
transaction or from a strategic partner. There can be no assurances that the
Company will be able to complete an equity financing.


If the Company is unable to develop its various projects in a timely manner, it
will be required to modify or curtail its expansion plans, which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue its operations.

The Company's common stock is traded on NASDAQ and listed under the symbol
"JLHC".

FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statement are the
ability of the Company to raise additional equity capital to fund financing and
start up costs associated with opening new facilities, continued compliance with
the financial covenants in the REIT financing commitment described above, the
ability of the Company to attain and maintain high rates of occupancy in its
existing and planned facilities, and the Company's ability to control expense
levels at its existing and planned facilities, and the other risks detailed in
the Company's reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Imposition in accordance with Section 3.7. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord [i]
not more than 5 days after the due date of each Imposition, copies of the
invoice for such Imposition and the check delivered for payment thereof; and
[ii] not more than 30 days after the due date of each Imposition, a copy of the
official receipt evidencing such payment or other proof of payment satisfactory
to Landlord. Tenant's obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed
absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased
Property or any part thereof. Tenant, at its expense, shall prepare and file all
tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
governmental authorities. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund due from any
taxing authority if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be
continuing. Landlord shall be entitled to any refund from any taxing authority
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any refunds retained by
Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in Section 8.8.
Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is
maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased
Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the
event governmental authorities classify any property covered by this Lease as
personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such
jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses
the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the
other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for
filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where
Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Tenant will
be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of
the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. Tenant may,
upon notice to Landlord, at Tenant's option and at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Tenant may deem
appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property
assessments and Landlord, at Tenant's expense as aforesaid, shall fully
cooperate with Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other action, and grant to
Tenant a limited power of attorney as is reasonable and necessary for the
purposes of such protest, appeal or other action. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for all personal property taxes paid by Landlord within 30 days after
receipt of billings accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments
thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments
are made. Impositions imposed in



                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14
respect to the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates shall be
adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such
Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Tenant's obligation
to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such termination.

                  3.2 Definition of Impositions. "Impositions" means,
collectively, [i] taxes (including without limitation, all capital stock and
franchise taxes of Landlord imposed by the State or any governmental entity in
the State due to this lease transaction or Landlord's ownership of the Leased
Property and the income arising therefrom, or due to Landlord being considered
as doing business in the State because of Landlord's ownership of the Leased
Property or lease thereof to Tenant), all real estate and personal property ad
valorem, sales and use, business or occupation, single business, gross receipts,
transaction privilege, rent or similar taxes; [ii] assessments (including
without limitation, all assessments for public improvements or benefits, whether
or not commenced or completed prior to the date hereof and whether or not to be
completed with the Term); [iii] ground rents, water, sewer or other rents and
charges, excises, tax levies, and fees (including without limitation, license,
permit, inspection, authorization and similar fees); [iv] all taxes imposed on
Tenant's operations of the Leased Property, including without limitation,
employee withholding taxes, income taxes and intangible taxes; [v] all taxes
imposed by the State or any governmental entity in the State with respect to the
conveyance of the Leased Property by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant's designee,
including without limitation, conveyance taxes and capital gains taxes; and [vi]
all other governmental charges, in each case whether general or special,
ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen, of every character in
respect of the Leased Property or any part thereof and/or the Rent (including
all interest and penalties thereon due to any failure in payment by Tenant),
which at any time prior to, during or in respect of the Term hereof may be
assessed or imposed on or in respect of or be a lien upon [a] Landlord or
Landlord's interest in the Leased Property or any part thereof; [b] the Leased
Property or any part thereof or any rent therefrom or any estate, right, title
or interest therein; or [c] any occupancy, operation, use or possession of, or
sales from, or activity conducted on, or in connection with the Leased Property
or the leasing or use of the Leased Property or any part thereof. Tenant shall
not, however, be required to pay any tax based on net income (whether
denominated as a franchise or capital stock or other tax) imposed on Landlord by
any governmental entity other than as described in clause [i] above.

                  3.3 Escrow of Impositions. If an Event of Default occurs and



                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15
while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord's election, deposit with
Landlord on the first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the Impositions
assessed against the Leased Property for the preceding tax year, which sums
shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such Impositions. Tenant, on demand,
shall pay to Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the
obligations of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this section. The receipt by
Landlord of the payment of such Impositions by and from Tenant shall only be as
an accommodation to Tenant, the mortgagees, and the taxing authorities, and
shall not be construed as rent or income to Landlord, Landlord serving, if at
all, only as a conduit for delivery purposes.

                  3.4 Utilities. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all
taxes, assessments, charges, deposits, and bills for utilities, including
without limitation charges for water, gas, oil, sanitary and storm sewer,
electricity, telephone service, and trash collection, which may be charged
against the occupant of the Improvements during the Term. If an Event of Default
occurs and while it remains uncured, Tenant shall, at Landlord's election,
deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of
the amount of the annual utility expenses for the preceding Lease Year, which
sums shall be used by Landlord to pay such utilities. Tenant shall, on demand,
pay to Landlord any additional amount needed to pay such utilities. Landlord's
receipt of such payments shall only be an accommodation to Tenant and the
utility companies and shall not constitute rent or income to Landlord. Tenant
shall at all times maintain that amount of heat necessary to ensure against the
freezing of water lines. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any liability or damages to the utility systems and
the Leased Property that may result from Tenant's failure to maintain sufficient
heat in the Improvements.

                  3.5 Discontinuance of Utilities. Landlord will not be liable
for damages to person or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business
for any discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in any way be
construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to
release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

                  3.6 Business Expenses. Tenant shall promptly pay all expenses
and costs incurred in connection with the operation of the Facility on the
Leased Property, including without limitation, employee benefits, employee
vacation and sick pay, consulting fees, and expenses for inventory and supplies.



                                      -15-

                  3.7 Permitted Contests. Tenant, on its own or on Landlord's
behalf (or in Landlord's name), but at Tenant's expense, may contest, by
appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or
any Legal Requirement or insurance requirement or any lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance, charge or claim provided that [i] in the case of an unpaid
Imposition, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the
commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection
thereof from Landlord and from the Leased Property; [ii] neither the Leased
Property nor any Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest therein would
be in any immediate danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost; [iii] in
the case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any immediate danger
of civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith pending the
outcome of such proceedings; [iv] in the event that any such contest shall
involve a sum of money or potential loss in excess of $50,000.00, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord and its counsel an opinion of Tenant's counsel to the effect
set forth in clauses [i], [ii] and [iii], to the extent applicable; [v] in the
case of a Legal Requirement and/or an Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge,
Tenant shall give such reasonable security as may be demanded by Landlord to
insure ultimate payment of the same and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the
affected Leased Property or the Rent by reason of such nonpayment or
noncompliance; provided, however, the provisions of this section shall not be
construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent (except as to contests
concerning the method of computation or the basis of levy of any Imposition or
the basis for the assertion of any other claim) or any other sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder; [vi] in the case of an insurance requirement, the
coverage required by Article 4 shall be maintained; and [vii] if such contest be
finally resolved against Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent
due hereunder, promptly pay the amount required to be paid, together with all
interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply with the applicable Legal
Requirement or insurance requirement. Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall
execute and deliver to Tenant such authorizations, limited powers of attorney
and other documents as may be reasonably required in any such contest, and, if
reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires, Landlord shall join as
a party therein. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless
from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed
upon Landlord in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting
therefrom.

and shall contain a deductible amount acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall be
named as an additional insured. The Builder's Risk Policy shall include an
endorsement permitting initial occupancy.

                  4.4 Insurance Requirements. The following provisions shall
apply to all insurance coverages required hereunder:

                           (a) The form and substance of all policies shall be
subject to the approval of Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld.

                           (b) The carriers of all policies shall have a Best's

policies showing the required coverages and endorsements. The policies of
insurance shall provide that the policy may not be cancelled or not renewed, and
no material change or reduction in coverage may be made, without at least 30
days' prior written notice to Landlord.

                           (e) The policies shall contain a severability of
interest and/or cross-liability endorsement, provide that the acts or omissions
of Tenant or Landlord will not invalidate the coverage of the other party, and
provide that Landlord shall [i] not be responsible for payment of premiums; and
[ii] receive at least 30 days prior written notice of cancellation.

                           (f) All loss adjustment shall require the written

connection with each annual policy



                                      -19-
<PAGE>   20
renewal, deliver to Landlord a redetermination of the full replacement value by
the insurer or an endorsement indicating that the Leased Property is insured for
its full replacement value. If Tenant makes any Permitted Alterations (as
hereinafter defined) to the Leased Property, Landlord may have such full
replacement value redetermined at any time after such Permitted Alterations are
made, regardless of when the full replacement value was last determined.

                  4.6 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this section, Tenant may carry the insurance required by this
Article under a blanket policy of insurance, provided that the coverage afforded
Tenant will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that
which would exist under a separate policy meeting all of the requirements of
this Lease.

                  4.7 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required in this Article, or increase the amounts of any then existing
insurance, by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all
parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance,
including Landlord and any mortgagees, are included therein as additional
insureds or loss payees, the loss is payable under said insurance in the same
manner as losses are payable under this Lease, and such additional insurance is
not prohibited by the existing policies of insurance. Tenant shall immediately
notify Landlord of the taking out of such separate insurance or the increasing
of any of the amounts of the existing insurance by securing an additional policy
or additional policies.

                  4.8 Waiver of Subrogation. Each party hereto hereby waives any
and every claim which arises or may arise in its favor and against the other
party hereto during the Term for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its
property located within or upon, or constituting a part of, the Leased Property,
which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance policies, to
the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such policies. Said
mutual waiver shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of,
any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss or
damage to property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the said waivers will
preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or
otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto
agrees immediately to give each insurance company which has issued to it
policies of insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and
to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the



                                      -20-
<PAGE>   21
invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers, so long as
such endorsement is available at a reasonable cost.

                  4.9  Mortgages. The following provisions shall apply if
Landlord now or hereafter places a mortgage on the Leased Property or any part
thereof: [i] Tenant shall obtain a standard form of lender's loss payable clause
insuring the interest of the mortgagee; [ii] Tenant shall deliver evidence of
insurance to such mortgagee; [iii] loss adjustment shall require the consent of
the mortgagee; and [iv] Tenant shall provide such other information and
documents as may be required by the mortgagee.

                  4.10 Escrows. After an Event of Default occurs hereunder,
Tenant shall make such periodic payments of insurance premiums in accordance
with Landlord's requirements after receipt of notice thereof from Landlord.

ARTICLE 5: INDEMNITY

                  5.1 Tenant's Indemnification. Tenant hereby indemnifies and
agrees to hold harmless Landlord, any successors or assigns of Landlord, and
Landlord's and such successor's and assign's directors, officers, employees and
agents from and against any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines,
penalties, damages (including consequential damages), losses, liabilities
(including strict liability), judgments, and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and the costs set forth in
Section 8.7) incurred in connection with or arising from: [i] the use or
occupancy of the Leased Property by Tenant or any persons claiming under Tenant;
[ii] any activity, work, or thing done, or permitted or suffered by Tenant in or
about the Leased Property; [iii] any acts, omissions, or negligence of Tenant or
any person claiming under Tenant, or the contractors, agents, employees,
invitees, or visitors of Tenant or any such person; [iv] any breach, violation,
or nonperformance by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant or the
employees, agents, contractors, invitees, or visitors of Tenant or of any such
person, of any term, covenant, or provision of this Lease or any law, ordinance,
or governmental requirement of any kind including, without limitation, any
failure to comply with any applicable requirements under the ADA; [v] any injury
or damage to the person, property or business of Tenant, its employees, agents,
contractors, invitees, visitors, or any other person entering upon the Leased
Property; and [vi] any construction, alterations, changes or demolition of the
Facility performed by or contracted for Tenant or its employees, agents or
contractors. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord, its
employees, or agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from
Landlord, will defend the claim at Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant shall jointly approve or
disapprove any settlement offer in an amount of $500,000 or more made or
accepted in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. Tenant may
solely approve or disapprove a settlement offer in an amount less than $500,000
made or accepted in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. All
amounts payable to Landlord under this section shall be payable on written
demand and any such amounts which are not paid within 10 days after demand
therefor by Landlord shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate. In case any
action, suit or proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any such
occurrence, Tenant shall use its best efforts to defend such action, suit or
proceeding. Tenant's indemnity under this section does not include tortiously
intentional acts or gross negligence of Landlord.

                  5.1.1 Notice of Claim. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing

                                      -22-
<PAGE>   23
in which indemnity may be sought against Tenant pursuant to this section. Such
notice shall be given in sufficient time to allow Tenant to defend or
participate in such claim or action, but the failure to give such notice in
sufficient time shall not constitute a defense hereunder nor in any way impair
the obligations of Tenant under this section unless the failure to give such
notice precludes Tenant's defense of any such action.

                  5.1.2 Survival of Covenants. The covenants of Tenant contained
in this section shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of
this Agreement until the expiration of the period stated in the applicable
statute of limitations during which a claim or cause of action may be brought
and payment in full or the satisfaction of such claim or cause of action and of
all expenses and charges incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the
provisions herein specified.

                  5.1.3 Reimbursement of Expenses. Unless prohibited by law,
Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord all of the reasonable fees, charges and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to the Facility and required hereby,
or incurred by Landlord in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement.

Landlord's and such successors' directors, officers, employees and agents from
and against any losses, claims, damages (including consequential damages),
penalties, fines, liabilities (including strict liability), costs (including
cleanup and recovery costs), and expenses (including expenses of litigation and
reasonable consultants' and attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord or any other
indemnitee or assessed against the Leased Property by virtue of any claim or
lien by any governmental or quasi-governmental unit, body, or agency, or any
third party, for cleanup costs or other costs pursuant to any Environmental Law.
Tenant's indemnity shall survive the termination of this Lease. Provided,
however, Tenant shall have no indemnity obligation with respect to [i] Hazardous
Materials first introduced to the Leased Property subsequent to the date that
Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Property shall have fully terminated; or [ii]
Hazardous Materials introduced to the Leased Property by Landlord, its agent,
employees, successors or assigns. If at any time during the Term of this Lease
any governmental authority notifies Landlord or Tenant of a violation of any
Environmental Law or Landlord has good cause to believe that a Facility may
violate any Environmental Law, Landlord may require an environmental audit of
the Leased Premises, (and such further action as may be indicated by such
environmental audit) in such 



                                      -23-
<PAGE>   24
form, scope and substance as specified by Landlord, at Tenant's expense. Tenant
shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse
Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in reviewing any environmental
audit, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

authority, fire, explosion, falling objects, steam, water, rain or snow, leak or
flow of water (including water from the elevator system), rain or snow from the

omissions of any other occupant or visitor of the Leased Property, or from any
other cause beyond Landlord's control.

                           (h) Any material representation or warranty made by
Tenant or Guarantor in this Lease or any other document executed in connection
with this Lease, any guaranty of or other security for this Lease, or any
report, certificate, application, financial statement or other instrument
furnished by Tenant or Guarantor pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to be
false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect as of the date made.

                           (i) Tenant, any Guarantor, or any Affiliate defaults

                                      -28-
<PAGE>   29
expires without such default having been cured. This provision applies to all

extended, or renewed from time to time.

                           (j) The occurrence of any change in Tenant's
leasehold interest in the Leased Property, without the prior written consent of

licensed beds or units at the Facility.

                  8.2 Remedies. Landlord may exercise any one or more of the
following remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default:

                           (a) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the
Leased Property without terminating the Lease, and lease the Leased Property for
the account of Tenant, holding Tenant liable for all costs of the Landlord in
reletting the Leased Property and for the difference in the amount received by
such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease.

                           (b) Landlord may terminate this Lease, exclude Tenant
from possession of the Leased Property and use efforts to lease the Leased
Property to others, holding Tenant liable for the difference in the amounts
received from such reletting and the amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease.

                           (c) Landlord may re-enter the Leased Property and
have, repossess and enjoy the Leased Property as if the Lease had not been made,
and in such event, Tenant and its successors and assigns shall remain liable for
any contingent or unliquidated obligations or sums owing at the time of such
repossession.

                           (d) Landlord may have access to and inspect, examine
and make copies of the books and records and any and all 



                                      -29-
<PAGE>   30
accounts, data and income tax and other returns of Tenant insofar as they
pertain to the Leased Property.

                           (e) Landlord may accelerate all of the unpaid Rent
hereunder so that the present value of the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term
of this Lease becomes immediately due and payable.

                           (f) Landlord may take whatever action at law or in
equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Rent and other
amounts payable under the Lease then due and thereafter to become due, or to
enforce performance and observance of any obligations, agreements or covenants
of Tenant under this Lease.

                           (g) With respect to the Collateral and Landlord's
security interest therein, Landlord may exercise all of its rights as secured
party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State.
Landlord may sell the Collateral by public or private sale upon 5 days notice to
Tenant. Tenant agrees that a commercially reasonable manner of disposition of
the Collateral shall include, without limitation and at the option of Landlord,
a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in part, concurrently with the sale of the
Leased Property.

                           (h) Landlord may obtain control over and collect the
Receivables and apply the proceeds of the collections to satisfaction of
Tenant's Obligations unless prohibited by law. Tenant appoints Landlord or its
designee as attorney for Tenant with powers [i] to receive, to indorse, to sign
and/or to deliver, in Tenant's name or Landlord's name, any and all checks,
drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the
Receivables, and to waive demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, and
any other notice with respect to any such instrument; [ii] to sign Tenant's name
on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Receivable, drafts against
account debtors, assignments and verifications of Receivables, and notices to
account debtors; [iii] to send verifications of Receivables to any account
debtor; and [iv] to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this
Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any omissions, commissions, errors of
judgment, or mistakes in fact or law made in the exercise of any such powers. At
Landlord's option, Tenant shall [i] provide Landlord a full accounting of all
amounts received on account of Receivables with such frequency and in such form
as Landlord may require, either with or without applying all collections on
Receivables in payment of Tenant's Obligations or [ii] deliver to Landlord on
the day of receipt all such collections in the form received and duly indorsed
by Tenant. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall institute any action or enter
into any settlement determined by Landlord to be necessary to obtain recovery or
redress from any account debtor in default of Receivables. Landlord may give
notice of its security interest in


                                      -30-
<PAGE>   31
the Receivables to any or all account debtors with instructions to make all
payments on Receivables directly to Landlord, thereby terminating Tenant's
authority to collect Receivables. After terminating Tenant's authority to
enforce or collect Receivables, Landlord shall have the right to take possession
of any or all Receivables and records thereof and is hereby authorized to do so,
and only Landlord shall have the right to collect and enforce the Receivables.
Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Tenant's cost and expense,
but on behalf of Landlord and for Landlord's account, Tenant shall collect or
otherwise enforce all amounts unpaid on Receivables and hold all such
collections in trust for Landlord, but Tenant may commingle such collections
with Tenant's own funds, until Tenant's authority to do so has been terminated,
which may be done only after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, Landlord does not assume any of Tenant's obligations under any
Receivable, and Landlord shall not be responsible in any way for the performance
of any of the terms and conditions thereof by Tenant.

                           (i) Without waiving any prior or subsequent Event of
Default, Landlord may waive any Event of Default or, with or without waiving any
Event of Default, remedy any default.

                           (j) Landlord may terminate its obligation to disburse
Lease Advances.

                           (k) Landlord may enter and take possession of the
Land and Facility without terminating the Lease and complete construction and
renovation of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and perform the obligations
of Tenant under the Lease Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do any of the following: [i] complete
construction, renovation and equipping of the Improvements in the name of
Tenant; [ii] use unadvanced funds remaining under the Lease Amount, or funds
that may be reserved, escrowed, or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any
time, or to advance funds in excess of the Lease Amount, to complete the
Improvements; [iii] make changes in the plans and specifications that shall be
necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in substantially the manner
contemplated by the plans and specifications; [iv] retain or employ new general
contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors as shall be
required for said purposes; [v] pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills
and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and
claims becoming liens against the Facility or security interest against fixtures
or equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the
construction and equipping of the Improvements or for the clearance of title;
[vi] execute all applications and certificates, in the name of Tenant, that may
be required in



                                      -31-
<PAGE>   32
connection with any construction; [vii] do any and every act that Tenant might
do in its own behalf, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in
connection with the Improvements; and [viii] to execute, deliver and file all
applications and other documents and take any and all actions necessary to
transfer the operations of the Facility to Landlord or Landlord's designee. This
power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

                  8.3 Right of Set-Off. Landlord may, and is hereby authorized
by Tenant to, at any time and from time to time without advance notice to Tenant
(any such notice being expressly waived by Tenant), set-off and apply any and
all sums held by Landlord, any indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any
claims by Tenant against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant hereunder
and against any claims by Landlord against Tenant, whether or not such
obligations or claims of Tenant are matured and whether or not Landlord has
exercised any other remedies hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this
section are in addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have
against Tenant.

                  8.4 Performance of Tenant's Covenants. Landlord may perform
any obligation of Tenant which Tenant has failed to perform within 5 days after
Landlord has sent a written notice to Tenant informing it of its specific
failure. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any
expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at the
Overdue Rate (as defined in Section 8.6).

                  8.5 Late Payment Charge. Tenant acknowledges that any default
in the payment of any installment of Rent payable hereunder will result in loss
and additional expense to Landlord in servicing any indebtedness of Landlord
secured by the Leased Property, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting
its other financial obligations, and because such loss and additional expense is
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the
event any Rent payable to Landlord hereunder is not paid within 10 days after
the due date, Tenant shall pay a late charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue
payment as a reasonable estimate of such loss and expenses, unless applicable
law requires a lesser charge, in which event the maximum rate permitted by such
law may be charged by Landlord. The 10 day grace period set forth in this
section shall not extend the time for payment of Rent or the period for curing
any default or constitute a waiver of such default.

                  8.6 Interest. In addition to the late payment charge, any
payment not made by 



                                      -32-
<PAGE>   33
Tenant within 10 days after the due date shall thereafter bear interest at the
rate (the "Overdue Rate") of 18% per annum, provided, however, that at no time
will Tenant be required to pay interest at a rate higher than the maximum legal
rate and, provided further, that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that any other charges payable under this Lease are deemed to be interest, the
Overdue Rate shall be adjusted to ensure that the aggregate interest payable
under this Lease does not accrue at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate.
Tenant shall not be required to pay interest upon any late payment fees assessed
pursuant to Section 8.5.

                  8.7 Litigation; Attorneys' Fees. Within 5 days after Tenant
has knowledge of any litigation or other proceeding that may be instituted
against Tenant, against the Leased Property to secure or recover possession
thereof, or that may affect the title to or the interest of Landlord in the
Leased Property, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord. Tenant
shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or
preserving Landlord's rights under this Lease, whether or not an Event of
Default has actually occurred or has been declared and thereafter cured,
including without limitation, [i] the fees, expenses, and costs of any
litigation, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar proceeding; [ii] reasonable attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness
fees and disbursements, whether in house counsel or outside counsel; and [iii]
the expenses, including without limitation, lodging, meals, and transportation,
of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses in preparing for
litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings
and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in connection therewith. All
such costs, charges and fees payable by Tenant shall be deemed to be Additional
Rent under this Lease.

                  8.8 Escrows and Application of Payments. As security for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all
its right, title, and interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under
this Lease and all deposits with utility companies, taxing authorities and
insurance companies; provided, however, that Landlord shall not exercise its
rights hereunder until an Event of Default has occurred. Any payments received
by Landlord under any provisions of this Lease during the existence or
continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant's obligations in
the order which Landlord may determine.

                  8.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Landlord herein are



                                      -33-
<PAGE>   34
cumulative to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord at law
or in equity. The use of any one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive
the right to use any other remedy.

ARTICLE 9: DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

                  9.1 Notice of Casualty. If the Leased Property shall be
destroyed, in whole or in part, or damaged by fire, flood, windstorm or other
casualty (a "Casualty"), Tenant shall give written notice thereof to the
Landlord within one business day after the occurrence of the Casualty. Within 15
days after the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as such
information is reasonably available to Tenant, Tenant shall provide the
following information to Landlord: [i] the date of the Casualty; [ii] the nature
of the Casualty; [iii] a description of the damage or destruction caused by the
Casualty including the type of Leased Property damaged and the area of the
Improvements damaged; [iv] a preliminary estimate of the cost to repair,
rebuild, restore or replace the Leased Property; [v] a preliminary estimate of
the schedule to complete the repair, rebuilding, restoration or replacement of
the Leased Property; [vi] a description of the anticipated property insurance
claim including the name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the
deductible amount, the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement
date; and [vii] a description of the business interruption claim including the
name of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the
expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement date. Within five days
after request from Landlord, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all
correspondence to the insurer and any other information reasonably requested by
Landlord.

                  9.2 Substantial Destruction.

                  9.2.1 If the Improvements are substantially destroyed at any
time other than during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or the Renewal
Term, Tenant shall promptly rebuild and restore the Leased Property in
accordance with Section 9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds
available to Tenant for such restoration. The term "substantially destroyed"
means any casualty resulting in the loss of use of 50% or more of the licensed
beds at any one Facility.

                  9.2.2 If the Improvements are substantially destroyed during
the final 18 months of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, Landlord may elect
to terminate this Lease or terminate this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, at
Landlord's option, and retain the insurance proceeds unless Tenant exercises



                                      -34-
<PAGE>   35
its option to renew as set forth in Section 9.2.3. If Landlord elects to
terminate, Landlord shall give notice ("Termination Notice") of its election to
terminate this Lease (or this Lease and all Affiliate Leases, if elected by
Landlord) within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice of the damage. If
Tenant does not exercise its option to renew under Section 9.2.3 within 15 days
after delivery of the Termination Notice, this Lease (or this Lease and all
Affiliate Leases, if elected by Landlord) shall terminate on the 15th day after
delivery of the Termination Notice. If this Lease (or this Lease and all
Affiliate Leases, if elected by Landlord) is so terminated, Tenant shall be
liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other obligations accrued under this
Lease through the effective date of termination and each Affiliate shall be
liable to Landlord for all Rent and all other obligations accrued under its
respective Affiliate Lease through the effective date of termination.

                  9.2.3 If the Improvements are substantially destroyed during
the final 18 months of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term and Landlord gives
the Termination Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease. Tenant
shall give Landlord irrevocable notice of Tenant's election to renew, and each
Affiliate Tenant shall give irrevocable notice of renewal, within 15 days after
delivery of the Termination Notice. If Tenant and each Affiliate Tenant elect to
renew, the Renewal Term will be in effect for the balance of the then current
Term plus a 10 year period. The Renewal Term will commence on the third day
following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's and each Affiliate Tenant's notice of
renewal. All other terms of this Lease for the Renewal Term shall be in
accordance with Article 12. The Leased Property will be restored by Tenant in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 regarding partial destruction.

                  9.3 Partial Destruction. If the Leased Property is not
substantially destroyed, then Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Section
9.4 and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such
restoration.

                  9.4 Restoration. Tenant shall promptly repair, rebuild, or
restore the Leased Property, at Tenant's expense, so as to make the Leased
Property at least equal in value to the Leased Property existing immediately
prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in character as is
practicable and reasonable. Before beginning such repairs or rebuilding, or
letting any contracts in connection with such repairs or rebuilding, Tenant will
submit for Landlord's approval, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably
withhold or delay, plans and specifications meeting the requirements of Section
16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after receiving Landlord's
approval of the plans and specifications and receiving the 



                                      -35-
<PAGE>   36
proceeds of insurance, Tenant will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will
prosecute the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject,
however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental
restrictions, and other causes beyond Tenant's reasonable control. Landlord will
make available to Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty
insurance paid to Landlord for such repair or rebuilding as the same progresses,
after deduction of any costs of collection, including attorneys' fees. Payments
will be made against properly certified vouchers of a competent architect in
charge of the work and approved by Landlord. Prior to commencing the repairing
or rebuilding, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord's approval a
schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such work. Landlord will
contribute to such payments out of the insurance proceeds an amount equal to the
proportion that the total net amount received by Landlord from insurers bears to
the total estimated cost of the rebuilding or repairing, multiplied by the
payment by Tenant on account of such work. Landlord may, however, withhold 10%
from each payment until the work is completed and proof has been furnished to
Landlord that no lien or liability has attached or will attach to the Leased
Property or to Landlord in connection with such repairing or rebuilding. Upon
the completion of rebuilding and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of
the net proceeds of such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such
repairing or rebuilding will be paid to Tenant. Tenant will obtain and deliver
to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of occupancy before the Leased
Property is reoccupied for any purpose. Tenant shall complete such repairs or
rebuilding free and clear of mechanic's or other liens, and in accordance with
the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or orders
of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting the repairs or
rebuilding, and also in accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating
organization, or similar body. Any remaining proceeds of insurance after such
restoration will be Tenant's property.

                  9.5 Insufficient Proceeds. If the proceeds of any insurance
settlement are not sufficient to pay the costs of such repair, rebuilding or
restoration in full, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord at Landlord's option,
and within 30 days of Landlord's request, an amount sufficient in Landlord's
reasonable judgment to complete such repair, rebuilding or restoration. Tenant
shall not, by reason of the deposit or payment, be entitled to any reimbursement
from Landlord or diminution in or postponement of the payment of the Rent.

                  9.6 Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law
or equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord as
herein provided shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be 


                                      -36-
<PAGE>   37
entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 9. Tenant
expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment
or value, of the Leased Property from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not
insurable or insured against.

                  9.7  Landlord's Inspection. During the progress of such 
repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers may, from time
to time, inspect the Leased Property and will be furnished, if required by them,
with copies of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such
repairs or rebuilding. Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and
specifications at the building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers
may examine them at all reasonable times. If, during such repairs or rebuilding,
Landlord and its architects and engineers determine that the repairs or
rebuilding are not being done in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications, Landlord will give prompt notice in writing to Tenant,
specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in
which Landlord claims such repairs or rebuilding do not accord with the approved
plans and specifications. Upon the receipt of any such notice, Tenant will cause
corrections to be made to any deficiencies, omissions, or such other respect.
Tenant's obligations to supply insurance, according to Article 4, will be
applicable to any repairs or rebuilding under this section.

                  9.8  Landlord's Costs. Tenant shall, within 30 days after
receipt of an invoice from Landlord, pay the costs, expenses, and fees of any
architect or engineer employed by Landlord to review any plans and
specifications and to supervise and approve any construction, or for any
services rendered by such architect or engineer to Landlord as contemplated by
any of the provisions of this Lease, or for any services performed by Landlord's
attorneys in connection therewith. The daily fee for Landlord's consulting
engineer is $750.00.

                  9.9  No Rent Abatement. Rent will not abate pending the 
repairs or rebuilding of the Leased Property.

                  9.10 Business Interruption Insurance. All business
interruption insurance proceeds shall be paid to Tenant.

ARTICLE 10: CONDEMNATION

                  10.1 Total Taking. If, by exercise of the right of eminent
domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such
right ("Taking"), the entire Leased Property is taken, or so much of the Leased
Property is taken that the Leased Property cannot be used by Tenant for the
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then this Lease
will end on the earlier of the vesting of title to the Leased Property in the
condemning authority or the taking of possession of the Leased Property by the
condemning authority. All damages awarded for such Taking under the power of
eminent domain shall be the property of the Landlord, whether such damages shall
be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee
of the Leased Property. If this Lease is terminated with respect to a Facility
subject to a taking as described in this section, Landlord may, at its option,
terminate each Affiliate Lease.

                  10.2 Partial Taking. If, after a Taking, so much of the Leased
Property remains that the Leased Property can be used for substantially the same
purposes for which it was used immediately before the Taking, then [i] this
Lease will end as to the part taken on the earlier of the vesting of title to
the Leased Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of
the Leased Property by the condemning authority; [ii] at its cost, Tenant shall
restore so much of the Leased Property as remains to a sound architectural unit
substantially suitable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before
the Taking, using good workmanship and new, first-class materials; [iii] upon
completion of the restoration, Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net
award made to Landlord on the account of the Taking (after deducting from the
total award, attorneys', appraisers', and other fees and costs incurred in
connection with the obtaining of the award and amounts paid to the holders of
mortgages secured by the Leased Property), or Tenant's actual out-of-pocket
costs of restoring the Leased Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be entitled to
the balance of the net award. The restoration shall be completed in accordance
with Sections 9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9 with such provisions deemed to apply to
condemnation instead of casualty.

                  10.3 Condemnation Proceeds Not Trust Funds. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the
condemnation award paid to Landlord shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord
shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Article 10.
Tenant expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use,
enjoyment, or value, of the Leased Property from any Condemnation.

16: ALTERATIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND SIGNS

                  16.1 Prohibition on Alterations and Improvements. Except for
Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall not make any

(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Alterations") to the Leased Property.

                  16.2 Approval of Alterations. If Tenant desires to perform any
Permitted Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord plans, specifications,

<PAGE>   49
reasonable detail the scope and nature of the Alterations that Tenant desires to
perform. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the level of detail shall
be comparable to that which is referred to in the architectural profession as
"design development drawings" as opposed to working or biddable drawings.
Landlord agrees not to unreasonably delay its review of the Plans and
Specifications. Within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing
and, if required, approving or disapproving the Plans and Specifications,
inspecting the Leased Property, and otherwise monitoring compliance with the
terms of this Article 16. Tenant shall comply with the requirements of Section
16.4 in making any Permitted Alterations.

required under Section 7.2; [iii] Alterations having a total cost of less than
$25,000.00; or [iv] repairs, rebuilding and restoration required or undertaken
pursuant to Section 9.4.

                  16.4 Requirements for Permitted Alterations. Tenant shall

                           (a) The Permitted Alterations shall be made in
accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications.

                           (b) The Permitted Alterations and the installation
thereof shall comply with all applicable legal requirements and insurance
requirements.

                           (c) The Permitted Alterations shall be done in a good
and workmanlike manner, shall not impair the value or the structural integrity
of the Leased Property, and shall be free and clear of all construction liens.

                           (d) For any Permitted Alterations having a total cost
of $100,000.00 or more, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a payment and
performance bond, with a surety acceptable to Landlord, in an amount equal to
the estimated cost of the Permitted Alterations, guaranteeing the completion of
the work free and clear of liens and in accordance with the approved Plans and
Specifications, and naming Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord as joint
obligees on such bond.

                           (e) Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain a
builder's completed value risk policy of insurance insuring against all risks of
physical loss, including collapse and transit 



                                      -49-
<PAGE>   50
coverage, in a nonreporting form, covering the total value of the work
performed, and equipment, supplies, and materials, and insuring initial
occupancy. Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord shall be additional insureds
of such policy. Landlord shall have the right to approve the form and substance
of such policy.

                           (f) Tenant shall pay the premiums required to
increase the amount of the insurance coverages required by Article 4 to reflect
the increased value of the Improvements resulting from installation of the
Permitted Alterations, and shall deliver to Landlord a certificate evidencing
the increase in coverage.

                           (g) Tenant shall, not later than 60 days after
completion of the Permitted Alterations, deliver to Landlord a revised
"as-built" survey of the Leased Property if the Permitted Alterations altered
the Land or "foot-print" of the Improvements and an "as-built" set of Plans and
Specifications for the Permitted Alterations in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord.

                           (h) Tenant shall, not later than 30 days after
Landlord sends an invoice, reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs and
expenses, including attorneys' fees and architects' and engineers' fees,
incurred in connection with reviewing and approving the Permitted Alterations
and ensuring Tenant's compliance with the requirements of this section. The
daily fee for Landlord's consulting engineer is $750.00.

                  16.5 Ownership and Removal of Permitted Alterations. The
Permitted Alterations shall become a part of the Leased Property, owned by
Landlord, and leased to Tenant subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease. Tenant shall not be required or permitted to remove any Permitted
Alterations.

                  16.6 Signs. Tenant may, at its own expense, erect and maintain
identification signs at the Leased Property, provided such signs comply with all
laws, ordinances, and regulations. Upon the termination or expiration of this
Lease, Tenant shall, within 30 days after notice from Landlord, remove the signs
and restore the Leased Property to its original condition.

ARTICLE 17: [RESERVED]


ARTICLE 18: ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF LEASED PROPERTY

                  18.1 Prohibition on Assignment and Subletting. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord has entered into this Lease in reliance on the
personal services and business expertise of Tenant. Except for an assignment to
an Affiliate pursuant to Section 18.6, Tenant may not assign, sublet, mortgage,
hypothecate, pledge, or transfer any interest in this Lease, or in the Leased
Property, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. The following
transactions will be deemed an assignment or sublease requiring Landlord's prior
written consent: [i] an assignment by operation of law; [ii] an imposition
(whether or not consensual) of a lien, mortgage, or encumbrance upon Tenant's
interest in the Lease; [iii] an arrangement (including but not limited to,
management agreements, concessions, licenses, and easements) which allows the
use or occupancy of all or part of the Leased Property by anyone other than
Tenant; and [iv] a change of ownership of Tenant. Landlord's consent to any
assignment or sublease will not release Tenant (or any guarantor) from its
payment and performance obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant, any
guarantor, and Tenant's assignee or sublessee will be jointly and severally
liable for such payment and performance. An assignment or sublease without the
prior written consent of Landlord will be void at the Landlord's option.
Landlord's consent to one assignment or sublease will not waive the requirement
of its consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease.

                  18.2 Requests for Landlord's Consent to Assignment, Sublease
or Management Agreement. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a specific
assignment, sublease, or management agreement, Tenant shall give Landlord [i]
the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager; [ii] a copy
of the proposed assignment, sublease or management agreement; [iii] reasonably
satisfactory information about the nature, business and business history of the
proposed assignee, subtenant, or manager and its proposed use of the Leased
Property; and [iv] banking, financial, and other credit information, and
references about the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager sufficient to
enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the
proposed assignee, subtenant or manager. Any assignment, sublease or management
agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that [a] such assignment,
sublease or management agreement is subject and subordinate to all of the terms
and provisions of this



                                      -51-
<PAGE>   52
Lease and to the rights of Landlord; [b] such assignment, sublease or management
agreement may not be modified without the prior written consent of Landlord not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; [c] if this Lease shall terminate before
the expiration of such assignment, sublease or management agreement, the
assignee, subtenant or manager thereunder will, at Landlord's option, attorn to
Landlord and waive any right the assignee, subtenant or manager may have to
terminate the assignment, sublease or management agreement or surrender
possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease; and [d] if
the assignee, subtenant or manager receives a written notice from Landlord
stating that Tenant is in default under this Lease, the assignee, subtenant or
manager shall thereafter pay all rentals or payments under the assignment,
sublease or management agreement directly to Landlord until such default has
been cured. Tenant hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord, as security for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, all of Tenant's right, title, and
interest in and to any assignment, sublease or management agreement now or
hereafter existing for all or part of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, at the
request of Landlord, execute such other instruments or documents as Landlord may
request to evidence this collateral assignment. If Landlord, in its sole and
absolute discretion, consents to such assignment, sublease, or management
agreement, such consent shall not be effective until [i] a fully executed copy
of the instrument of assignment, sublease or management agreement has been
delivered to Landlord; [ii] in the case of an assignment, Landlord has received
a written instrument in which the assignee has assumed and agreed to perform all
of Tenant's obligations under the Lease; and [iii] Tenant has paid to Landlord a
fee in the amount of $2,500.00; and [iv] Landlord has received reimbursement
from Tenant or the assignee for all attorneys' fees and expenses and all other
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with determining
whether to give its consent, giving its consent and all matters relating to the
assignment.

                  18.3 Agreements with Residents. Notwithstanding Section 18.1,
Tenant may enter into an occupancy agreement with residents of the Leased
Property without the prior written consent of Landlord provided that [i] the
agreement does not provide for lifecare services; [ii] Tenant may not collect
rent for more than one month in advance other than deposits for first and last
month's rent; and [iii] all residents of the Leased Property are accurately
shown in Tenant's accounting records.

                  18.4 Sale of Leased Property. If Landlord or any subsequent
owner of the Leased Property sells the Leased Property, its liability for the
performance of its agreements in this Lease will end on the date of the sale of
the Leased Property, and 



                                      -52-
<PAGE>   53
Tenant will look solely to the purchaser for the performance of those
agreements. For purposes of this section, any holder of a mortgage or security
agreement which affects the Leased Property at any time, and any landlord under
any lease to which this Lease is subordinate at any time, will be a subsequent
owner of the Leased Property when it succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any
subsequent owner of the Leased Property.

                  18.5 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord may transfer, assign,
mortgage, collaterally assign, or otherwise dispose of Landlord's interest in
this Lease or the Leased Property.

                  18.6 Assignment to Affiliate. Tenant may assign its entire
interest in this Lease (but not any partial interest) to an Affiliate of Tenant,
provided that the requirements of Section 18.2 shall have been satisfied and
upon such satisfaction, Landlord's consent shall be deemed to have been given.

ARTICLE 19: HOLDOVER AND SURRENDER

                  19.1 Holding Over. Should Tenant, with or without the express
or implied consent of Landlord, continue to hold and occupy the Leased Property
after the expiration of the Term, such holding over beyond the Term and the
acceptance or collection of Rent by the Landlord shall operate and be construed
as creating a tenancy from month-to-month and not for any other term whatsoever.
Said month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord by giving Tenant 15
days written notice, and at any time thereafter Landlord may re-enter and take
possession of the Leased Property.

                  19.2 Surrender. Except for [i] Permitted Alterations; [ii]
normal and reasonable wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Tenant to
maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair during the Term); and
[iii] damage and destruction not required to be repaired by Tenant, Tenant shall
surrender and deliver up the Leased Property at the expiration or termination of
the Term in as good order and condition as of the Commencement Date.




                                      -53-
<PAGE>   54
ARTICLE 20: LETTER OF CREDIT

                  20.1 Terms of Letter of Credit. As security for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the
Letter of Credit at the Closing. Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit in
favor of Landlord until Tenant's Obligations are performed in full. The Letter
of Credit shall permit partial draws and shall permit drawing upon presentation
of a draft drawn on the issuer and a certificate signed by Landlord stating that
an Event of Default has occurred under this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall be
for an initial term of one year and shall be automatically renewed annually for
successive terms of at least one year unless Landlord receives notice from the
Issuer, by certified mail, at least 60 days prior to the expiry date then in
effect that the Letter of Credit will not be extended for an additional one-year
period.

                  20.2 Replacement Letter of Credit. Tenant shall provide a
replacement Letter of Credit which satisfies the requirements of Section 20.1
from an Issuer acceptable to Landlord within 30 days after the occurrence of any
of the following: [i] Landlord's receipt of notice from the Issuer that the
Letter of Credit will not be extended for an additional one-year period; [ii]
Landlord gives notice to Tenant that the Lace Financial Service Rating of the
Issuer is less than a "C+"; or [iii] Landlord gives notice to Tenant of the
admission by Issuer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as
they become due, or Issuer's filing of a petition in bankruptcy or petitions to
take advantage of any insolvency act, making an assignment for the benefit of
its creditors, consenting to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the
whole or any substantial part of its property, or filing a petition or answer
seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any
other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state
thereof. Tenant's failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall
be an immediate Event of Default without any notice (other than as provided for
in the section), cure or grace period.

                  20.3 Draws. Landlord may draw under the Letter of Credit upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Any such draw shall not cure an
Event of Default. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
apply all or any portion of the proceeds from the Letter of Credit to pay all or
any portion of [i] all Rent and other charges and expenses payable by Tenant
under this Lease; plus [ii] all expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in
enforcing or preserving Landlord's rights under this Lease or any security for
the Lease,



                                      -54-
<PAGE>   55
including without limitation, [a] the fees, expenses, and costs of any
litigation, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
similar proceeding; [b] attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and
disbursements; and [c] the expenses, including without limitation, lodging,
meals and transportation of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and
witnesses in preparing for litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency,
or similar proceedings and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in
connection therewith.

                  With respect to any portion of the Letter of Credit proceeds
that is not applied to payment of Tenant's Obligations, Landlord shall have the
option to either [i] deposit the proceeds into an interest-bearing account with
a financial institution chosen by Landlord ("LC Account"); or [ii] require
Tenant to obtain a replacement Letter of Credit satisfactory to Landlord, with
the Letter of Credit proceeds made available to Tenant to secure Tenant's
reimbursement obligation for the Letter of Credit. All interest accruing on the
LC Account shall be paid to Landlord and may, from time to time, be withdrawn
from the LC Account by Landlord. At any time and from time to time until
Tenant's Obligations are performed in full, Landlord may apply all or any
portion of the funds held in the LC Account to payment of all or any portion of
Tenant's Obligations. Within 10 days after any such payment from the LC Account,
Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant describing the amount of such
payment and how it was applied to Tenant's Obligations.

                  Upon the occurrence of either [i] Landlord's receipt of a
replacement Letter of Credit that satisfies the requirements of Section 20.1 and
is issued by an Issuer acceptable to Landlord; or [ii] the date on which all of
Tenant's Obligations are performed in full, Landlord shall pay the principal
balance of the LC Account (but not any accrued interest) to Tenant.

                  20.4 Partial Draws. Upon the occurrence of a monetary Event of
Default under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, make a partial draw on
the Letter of Credit in an amount not to exceed the amount of Tenant's monetary
obligations under this Lease then past due. If Landlord then applies the
proceeds from such partial draw on the Letter of Credit to payment of all or any
portion of Tenant's monetary obligations then past due, Tenant shall, within 10
days after notice from Landlord of such partial draw and payment, cause the
amount of the Letter of Credit to be reinstated to the amount in effect prior to
such partial draw. Tenant's failure to comply with the requirements of this
section shall be an immediate Event of Default under the Loan Documents without
any notice (other than as provided for in this section), cure or grace period.
Landlord's rights under this Section 20.4 are in addition to, and not in
limitation of, Landlord's rights under Section 20.3.

                  20.5 Substitute Letter of Credit. Tenant may, from time to
time, deliver to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements
of this Agreement and issued by an Issuer acceptable to Landlord. Upon
Landlord's approval of the substitute Letter of Credit, Landlord shall release
the previous Letter of Credit to the Tenant.

ARTICLE 21: QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

                  21.1 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant performs all of its
obligations under this Lease, Tenant's possession of the Leased Property will
not be disturbed by Landlord.

                  21.2 Subordination. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this section, this Lease and Tenant's rights under this Lease are subordinate to
any ground lease or underlying lease, first mortgage, first deed of trust, or
other first lien against the Leased Property, together with any renewal,
consolidation, extension, modification or replacement thereof, which now or at
any subsequent time affects the Leased Property or any interest of Landlord in
the Leased Property, except to the extent that any such instrument expressly
provides that this Lease is superior. The foregoing subordination provision is
expressly conditioned upon any lessor or mortgagee being obligated and bound to
recognize Tenant as the tenant under this Lease, and such lessor or mortgagee
shall have no right to disturb Tenant's possession, use and occupancy of the
Leased Property or Tenant's enjoyment of its rights under this Lease unless and
until an Event of Default occurs hereunder. Any foreclosure action or proceeding
by any mortgagee with respect to the Leased Property shall not affect Tenant's
rights under this Lease and shall not terminate this Lease unless and until an
Event of Default occurs hereunder. The foregoing provisions will be
self-operative, and no further instrument will be required in order to effect
them. However, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at any
time and from time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be
requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other
instrument described in this section, to confirm or effect any such
subordination, provided that any such document shall include a non-disturbance
provision as set forth in this section satisfactory to Tenant. Any mortgagee of
the Leased Property shall be deemed to be bound by the non-disturbance provision
set forth in this section. If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge,
and deliver any such document within 20



                                      -56-
<PAGE>   57
days after written demand, Landlord may execute acknowledge and deliver any such
document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby
constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as
Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of
Tenant any documents described in this section. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

                  21.3 Attornment. If any holder of any mortgage, indenture,
deed of trust, or other similar instrument described in Section 21.2 succeeds to
Landlord's interest in the Leased Property, Tenant will pay to such holder all
Rent subsequently payable under this Lease. Tenant shall, upon request of anyone
succeeding to the interest of Landlord, automatically become the tenant of, and
attorn to, such successor in interest without changing this Lease. The successor
in interest will not be bound by [i] any amendment or modification of this Lease
made after the successor in interest succeeds to Landlord's interest and made
without its consent as provided in this Lease; [ii] any claim against Landlord
arising prior to the date on which the successor succeeded to Landlord's
interest; or [iii] any claim or offset of Rent against the Landlord. Upon
request by Landlord or such successor in interest and without cost to Landlord
or such successor in interest, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver an
instrument or instruments confirming the attornment. If Tenant fails or refuses
to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such instrument within 20 days after
written demand, then Landlord or such successor in interest will be entitled to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver any document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord,
its successors and assigns, as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute,
acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any such document. This power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

                  21.4 Estoppel Certificates. At the request of Landlord or any
mortgagee or purchaser of the Leased Property, Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge, and deliver an estoppel certificate, in recordable form, in favor
of Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser of the Leased Property certifying the
following: [i] that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if
there have been modifications that the same is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the modifications; [ii] the date to which Rent and other
charges have been paid; [iii] whether Tenant or Landlord is in default or
whether there is any fact or condition which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a default, and specifying any existing default, if any;
[iv] that Tenant has accepted and occupies the Leased Property; [v] that Tenant

                  25.8 Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any condition or

or condition, or to permit or excuse its continuance or any future breach

                  25.10 Power of Attorney. Effective upon [i] the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, or [ii] termination of this Lease
for any reason other than Tenant's purchase of the Leased Property, Tenant
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoints Landlord, or Landlord's
authorized officer, agent, employee or designee, as Tenant's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, to act for Tenant in Tenant's name, place, and stead, to
execute, deliver and file all applications and any and all other necessary
documents and statements to effect the issuance, transfer, reinstatement,

written notice before acting on behalf of Tenant pursuant to this power of
attorney.

                  25.11 No Offer. Landlord's submission of this Lease to Tenant
is not an offer to lease the Leased Property, or an agreement by Landlord to
reserve the Leased Property for Tenant. Landlord will not be bound to Tenant
until Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate original leases to
Landlord, and Landlord has duly executed and delivered one of these duplicate
original leases to Tenant.

                  25.12 Modification. This Lease may only be modified by a
writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant. All references to this Lease,
whether in this Lease or in any other document or instrument, shall be deemed to
incorporate all amendments, modifications and renewals of this Lease, made after
the date hereof. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any change in
ownership, merger or consolidation of Tenant or Guarantor, any assumption of the
Lease, or any material modification of the Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord
all relevant information and documents sufficient to enable Landlord to evaluate
the request. In connection with any such request, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
fee in the amount of $2,500.00 and shall pay all of Landlord's reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with Landlord's evaluation of Tenant's request, the
preparation of any documents and amendments, the subsequent amendment of any
documents between Landlord and its collateral pool lenders (if applicable), and
all related matters.

                  25.13 Landlord's Modification. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord may mortgage the Leased Property or use the Leased Property as
collateral for a collateralized mortgage obligations or Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Companies (REMICS). If any mortgage lender of Landlord desires any
modification of this Lease, Tenant agrees to consider such modification in good
faith and to execute an amendment of this Lease if Tenant finds such
modification acceptable.

                  25.14 No Merger. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the
cancellation of this Lease by agreement of Tenant and Landlord or the
termination of this Lease on account of Tenant's default will not work a merger,
and will, at Landlord's option, terminate any subleases or operate as an
assignment to Landlord of any subleases. Landlord's option under this paragraph
will be exercised by notice to Tenant and all known subtenants of the Leased
Property.

                  25.15 Laches. No delay or omission by either party hereto to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any noncompliance or default by the
other party with



                                      -68-
<PAGE>   69

respect to any of the terms hereof shall impair any such right or power or be
construed to be a waiver thereof.

                  25.16 Limitation on Tenant's Recourse. Tenant's sole recourse
against Landlord, and any successor to the interest of Landlord in the Leased
Property, is to the interest of Landlord, and any such successor, in the Leased
Property. Tenant will not have any right to satisfy any judgment which it may
have against the Landlord, or any such successor, from any other assets of
Landlord, or any such successor. In this section, the terms "Landlord" and
"successor" include the shareholders, venturers, and partners of "Landlord" and
"successor" and the officers, directors, and employees of the same. The
provisions of this section are not intended to limit Tenant's right to seek
injunctive relief or specific performance.

                  25.17 Construction of Lease. This Lease has been prepared by
Landlord and its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its
professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant, and their advisors believe that this
Lease is the product of all their efforts, that it expresses their agreement,
and agree that it shall not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant
or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in
preparing it.

                            NONDISTURBANCE AGREEMENT


         This Agreement is made this _____ day of ______________, 19____ by and
between HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. ("Landlord"), a Delaware corporation, having an
address of One SeaGate, Suite 1500, P.O. Box 1475, Toledo, Ohio 43603, and
__________________________ ("Equipment Lessor"), having an address of
________________________ __________________________.

                                R E C I T A L S:

         A. Landlord has leased to __________________ _________________________
("Lessee") the real and personal property located at ___________________________
and known as ____________________________________________ (the "Facility").

         B. Equipment Lessor intends to enter or has entered into an equipment
lease with Lessee (the "Equipment Lease") for the personal property described in
Schedule 1 attached hereto (the "Equipment").

         C. Landlord and Equipment Lessor have agreed to enter into this
Agreement to clarify their respective rights to the Equipment.

         NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Equipment Lessor have agreed as follows:

         1. Ownership of Equipment. Landlord acknowledges that the Equipment is
solely the property of Equipment Lessor and is personal property and shall not
constitute fixtures or become a part of the Facility, even though the Equipment
may be attached to the Facility by means of cement, plaster, nails, bolts,
screws or otherwise. Except as provided in Paragraph 3, Equipment Lessor may, at
all reasonable times, enter upon the Facility to inspect and/or to remove the
Equipment, in whole or in part; provided, however, that [i] Equipment Lessor
will not sell or auction the Equipment at the Facility; and [ii] Equipment
Lessor will reimburse the Landlord for reasonable costs of repair for any damage
done to the Facility as a result of said removal.

         2. Waiver. Landlord acknowledges that Landlord has no interest in the
Equipment and waives any right arising under any law or any deed, lease or other
instrument to levy upon, distrain, seize or otherwise possess the Equipment.

         3. Notice of Termination or Default. Equipment Lessor shall not
terminate the Equipment Lease or remove the Equipment from the Facility without
giving 30 days prior written

notice to Landlord. Equipment Lessor shall give Landlord written notice of any
default of Lessee under the Equipment Lease simultaneously with its giving such
notice to Lessee and shall give Landlord the opportunity to cure any such
default within 30 days after Landlord's receipt of such notice.

         4. Assumption of Equipment Lease. Landlord may at its option, at any
time, assume the obligations of Lessee as lessee under the Equipment Lease and
Equipment Lessor shall accept the performance of Landlord thereunder. Landlord
may thereafter assign its rights under the Equipment Lease to a purchaser or
tenant of the Facility. If the purchaser or tenant satisfies the Equipment
Lessor's credit standards for lessees, Equipment Lessor shall release Landlord
from its obligations under the Equipment Lease after such assignment. In the
event of any such assignment, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect if Landlord continues to hold any mortgage on, security
interest in, or title to the Facility.

         5. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed
by the laws of the State of _________________. This Agreement shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of Landlord and Equipment Lessor. This Agreement
may only be modified in writing signed by the Landlord and Equipment Lessor.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Equipment Lessor have executed this
Agreement as of the date first above written.

at the Effective Time. The Acquisition Company shall be the corporation
surviving the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation").

Parties shall mutually agree no later than thirty (30) days after the execution
hereof, unless otherwise provided herein (the "Closing Date").

         (c)      Actions at the Closing. At the Closing:

                  (i) JLH and the Acquisition Company will deliver to CALCI the

         6 below;

         Secretary of State of the State of Florida a Certificate of Merger in
         the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2(c) (the "Certificate of Merger");
         and

                  (iii) JLH will cause the Surviving Corporation to deliver the
JLH Stock in the manner provided below in this Section 2.

         (d) CALCI's Acquisition Audit. CALCI's obligation to close hereunder is

         condition and character of JLHOs business and operations; and

                  (ii)  a thorough background investigation regarding the
         officers and directors of JLH.

         CALCI's obligation to conclude the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be contingent upon CALCI's satisfaction, in its sole discretion,
with the results of the Acquisition Audit. In the event of CALCI determines that
it is not satisfied with the results of its Acquisition Audit at any time prior

providing JLH with written notice of such election, and this Agreement shall

shall have no further rights, claims or obligations with respect to each other,
except as otherwise set forth herein. Alternatively, in the event of CALCI
determines that it is satisfied at any time prior to the termination of this
Agreement with the results of its Acquisition Audit, or CALCI's waiver thereof,
CALCI may, upon five (5) daysO written notice of such election, proceed to
Closing.

         (e)      Effect of Merger.

                  (i)   Effective Time of Merger. The Merger shall become

         Company file the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of
         the State of Florida (the "Effective Time"). The Merger shall have the
         effect set forth in the Florida General Corporation Law. The Surviving
         Corporation may, at any time after the Effective Time, take any action
         (including executing and delivering any document) in the name and on
         behalf of either CALCI or the Acquisition Company in order to carry out
         and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (ii)  Certificate of Incorporation. As of the Effective Time
         the Articles of Incorporation of the Acquisition Company immediately
         prior to the Effective Time shall become the Articles of Incorporation
         of the Surviving Corporation.

                  (iii) Bylaws. As of the Effective Time the Bylaws of the
         Acquisition Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
         become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

                  (iv)  Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of
         the Acquisition Company shall become the directors and officers of the
         Surviving Corporation at and as of the Effective Time retaining their
         respective positions and terms of office.

                  (v) Conversion of CALCI Shares. At and as of the Effective
         Time each CALCI Share shall be converted into one and one half (1.5)
         shares of common stock of JLH (the "JLH Stock") issued by JLH. No CALCI
         Share shall be deemed to be outstanding or to have any rights other
         than those set forth above in this subsection after the Effective Time.
         Stock issuable in exchange for each share of CALCI Stock is referred to
         herein as "Merger Consideration".

         (f)      Exchange Agent / Conversion of CALCI Shares. Prior to the
Effective Time, CALCI and JLH shall appoint American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, CALCI's transfer agent, or such other mutually acceptable bank or trust
company as agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the purpose of exchanging
certificates representing CALCI Shares outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time,

                  (i)      the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder
         of CALCI Shares, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding
         Certificate or Certificates which immediately prior to the Effective
         Time represented by shares of CALCI common stock (the "Certificates") a
         form letter of transmittal and instructions advising such holder of the
         relevant terms of the exchange effected by the Merger and the procedure
         for surrendering to the Exchange Agent such Certificates for exchange.
         Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with
         such letter of transmittal duly executed, the holder of such
         Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
         Certificate or Certificates representing the Merger Consideration
         multiplied by the number of shares of CALCI common stock represented by
         such Certificate and such surrendered Certificate shall then be
         canceled. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this
         Section, each Certificate shall represent for all purposes the right to
         receive Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of CALCI Shares
         represented by such Certificate.

                  (ii)     At and after the Effective Time there shall be no
         transfers of CALCI Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to
         the Effective Time on the stock transfer books of CALCI. If, after the
         Effective Time, Certificates are presented to CALCI or the Exchange
         Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger
         Consideration multiplied by the number of CALCI Shares represented by
         such Certificates as provided herein. At the close of business on the
         day prior to the Effective Time the stock ledger of CALCI shall be
         closed.

                  (iii)    From and after the Effective Time, holders of
         Certificates formerly evidencing CALCI Shares shall cease to have any
         rights as stockholders of CALCI, except as provided herein or by law.

         (g)      Intentionally Left Blank.

corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Florida. CALCI is duly authorized to conduct business and

                  (xix)    neither of JLH the Acquisition Company, nor any other

         results from, arises out of, relates to, is in the nature of, or was

         infringement, or violation of law).

         (l)      ERISA; Employee Benefit Plans.

                  (i)      The Disclosure Schedule contains a complete list of
         all employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by JLH or its
         Subsidiaries or under which JLH or its Subsidiaries may be obligated.
         JLH has delivered to CALCI accurate and complete:

                  (A)      Copies of all employee benefit plan documents and all
                           other material documents relating thereto, including
                           all summary plan descriptions, summary annual reports
                           and insurance contracts;

                  (B)      detailed summaries of all unwritten employee benefit
                           plans;

                  (C)      copies of the most recent financial statements and
                           actuarial reports with respect to all employee
                           benefit plans for which financial statements or
                           actuarial reports are required or have been prepared;
                           and

                  (D)      copies of all annual reports for all employee benefit
                           plans (for which annual reports are required)
                           prepared since JLH's inception.

                  Each employee benefit plan providing benefits that are funded
         through a policy of insurance is indicated by the word "insured" placed
         by the listing of the employee benefit plans in the JLH Disclosure
         Schedule.

                  (ii)     All employee benefit plans listed in the JLH
         Disclosure Schedule conform (and at all times have conformed) in all
         material respects to, and are being administered and operated (and have
         at all times been administered and operated) in material compliance
         with, all applicable requirements of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code
         of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and all other applicable Laws.

                  (iii)    Any employee benefit plan that is intended to be 
         qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under
         Section 501(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue
         Service ("IRS") to be so qualified, and such determination remains in
         effect and has not been revoked. Nothing has occurred since the date of
         any such determination that is reasonably likely to affect adversely
         such qualification or exemption, or result in the imposition of excise
         taxes or income taxes or unrelated business income under the Code or
         ERISA with respect to any such employee benefit plan.

                  (iv)     JLH and its Subsidiaries do not have a defined 
         benefit plan subject to Title IV of ERISA and do not have a current or
         contingent obligation to contribute to any multi-employer plan (as
         defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). JLH and its Subsidiaries have no
         liability with respect to any employee benefit plan (as defined in
         Section 3(3) of ERISA) other than with respect to the employee benefit
         plans listed on the JLH Disclosure Schedule.



                                       18
<PAGE>   19

                  (v)      There are no pending or, to JLH's knowledge,
         threatened proceedings by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan
         listed on the Disclosure Schedule, or by or on behalf of any individual
         participants or beneficiaries of any such employee benefit plan,
         alleging any breach of fiduciary duty on the part of JLH or its
         Subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors or employees under
         ERISA or any other applicable regulations, or claiming benefit payments
         other than those made in the ordinary operation of such plans, nor is
         there, to JLH's knowledge, any basis for any such Proceeding. To JLH's
         knowledge, the Employee Benefit plans listed on the Disclosure Schedule
         are not the subject to any investigation, audit or action by the
         Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or the Pension
         Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC").

                  (vi)     No former or present employee of JLH or its
         Subsidiaries has any claim against JLH or its Subsidiaries (whether
         under federal or state law, any employment agreement or otherwise) on
         account of or for:

                  (A)      Overtime pay;

                  (B)      wages or salary for any period;

                  (C)      vacation, time off or pay in lieu of vacation or time
                           off; or

                  (D)      any violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation
                           relating to minimum wages or maximum hours of work.

                  No person or party (including, but not limited to,
         governmental agencies of any kind) has any claim or basis for any
         Proceeding against JLH or its Subsidiaries arising out of any statute,
         ordinance or regulation relating to discrimination in employment or to
         employment practices, sexual harassment or occupational safety and
         health standards.

         (m)      Status of SEC Reporting. JLH has been a reporting company (as
such is designated by the SEC) for at least one continuous year, has filed all
required report in a timely manner according to SEC rules and regulations during
that year. JLH has complied in all material respects with all rules and
regulations of the SEC. All information provided to the SEC is true and correct
and does not contain any untrue or misleading statements of material facts.

         (n)      Control Share Acquisition. Section 607.0902, Florida Statutes,
relative to control share acquisitions does not apply to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

         (o)      Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable of JLH and its
Subsidiaries are bona fide accounts receivable created in the ordinary course of
business and JLH is aware of no reason why accounts receivable are not good and
collectable within periods of time normally prevailing in the assisted living
industry at the recorded amounts 



                                       19
<PAGE>   20

thereof, subject to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable that is
included in the JLH balance sheet. To the best of JLH's knowledge, no account
receivable is subject to any claim for reduction, counterclaim, set off,
recoupment or other claim for credit by the obligor thereof.

         (p)      Board Recommendation. By a vote of the directors present at a
meeting of JLHOs Board of Directors on February 3, 1997 (which meeting was duly
called and held and at which a quorum was present at all time), the Board of
Directors of JLH:

                  (i)      approved and adopted this Agreement, including the
         Merger and the other transactions contemplated herein, and determined
         that the Merger is fair to the shareholders of JLH.

                  (ii)     intentionally left blank.

         (q)      Liquidity. Neither JLH, nor any of its Subsidiaries, including
the Acquisition Company shall take any action, or omit to take any action, which
would have the effect of materially decreasing the liquidity or availability of
JLHOs or any of its SubsidiariesO current assets as of the date of this
Agreement, or invest any funds not used by JLH or any of its Subsidiaries for
working capital purposes between the date of this Agreement and Effective Time
in any investment other than direct obligations of or instruments guaranteed by
the United States of America having a maturity of not more than one year;
provided, however, that JLH and its Subsidiaries shall not dispose of any
marketable equity securities.

         (r)      Default. Neither JLH nor any of JLHOs Subsidiaries is in
default, nor do any circumstances exist which, with notice or the passage of
time, or both, would give rise to a default under any of the documents, recorded
or unrecorded, relating to any properties owned by JLH or its Subsidiaries or
with respect to any contractual obligations that would have a material adverse
effect on such properties.

         (s)      Insurance. JLH and its Subsidiaries are, and will be through
the Closing Date, adequately insured with responsible insurers in respect of
their properties, assets and business against risks normally insured against by
companies in similar lines of business under similar circumstances. The
Disclosure Schedule correctly describes (by type, carrier, policy number,
limits, premium and expiration date) the insurance coverage carried by JLH and
its Subsidiaries with respect to the business of JLH and its Subsidiaries, which
insurance will remain in full force and effect with respect to all events
occurring prior to the Closing. JLH and its Subsidiaries:

                  (i)      have not failed to give any notice or present any
         claim under any such policy or binder in due and timely fashion;

                  (ii)     have not received notice of cancellation or
         non-renewal of any such policy or binder;



                                       20
<PAGE>   21

                  (iii)    are not aware of any threatened or proposed
         cancellation or non-renewal of any such policy or binder; and

                  (iv)     have not received notice of and are not otherwise
         aware of any insurance premiums which will be materially increased in
         the future.

         There are no outstanding claims under any such policy which have gone
unpaid for more than forty-five (45) days, or as to which the insurer has
disclaimed liability.

         5.       COVENANTS. The Parties agree as follows with respect to the
period from and after the execution of this Agreement.

         (a)      General. Each of the Parties will use its best efforts to take

                  (i)      If any events should occur, either within or without
         the knowledge or control of any party, which would prevent fulfillment
         of the conditions to the obligations of any party hereto to consummate
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to cure the same as
         expeditiously as possible;

                  (ii)     To cooperate fully with each other in preparing,
         filing, prosecuting, and taking any other actions which are or may be

         contemplated by this Agreement;

                  (iii)    To deliver such other instruments of title,
         certificates, consents, endorsements, assignments, assumptions and

         necessary to carry out and/or to comply with the terms of this
         Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein; and

                  (iv)     To confer on a regular basis with the other, report

         and in writing of any change or event resulting in, or which, insofar

         change on such Party or which would cause or constitute a material
         breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of such
         Party contained herein.

         (b)      Regulatory Matters and Approvals. Each of the Parties will

         (c) Operation of Business. Each Party hereby agrees that, except with

         outstanding);

                  (iii)    None of the Parties will declare, set aside, or pay
         any dividend or distribution with respect to its capital stock (whether

         its capital stock, in either case outside the Ordinary Course of
         Business;

                  (iv)     None of the Parties will issue any note, bond, or

         (d)      Full Access. The Parties will permit representatives of each
to have full access at all reasonable times, and in a manner so as not to
interfere with their normal business operations, to all premises, properties,
personnel, books, records (including tax records), contracts, and documents of

of the reviews contemplated by this subsection, will not use any of the

         (e)      Notice of Developments. Each Party will give prompt written
notice to the others of any material adverse development causing a breach of any
of its own representations and warranties in Section 3 and Section 4 above. No
disclosure by any Party pursuant to this subsection, however, shall be deemed to
amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule or to prevent or cure any
misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach of covenant. Additionally, the
Parties shall promptly notify each other of:

                  (i)   any notice or other communication from any person

         connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

                  (ii)  any notice or other communication from any foreign or

         with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

                  (iii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or
         proceedings commenced or, to the respective Party's knowledge,
         threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the
         Party or any of its Subsidiaries which, if pending on the date of this
         Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant
         hereto or which relate to the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement; and

                   (iv) the occurrence of any event relating to the Parties or

         tangible or intangible) or any securities of JLH, its affiliates,
         subsidiaries, or any divisions thereof.

Furthermore, JLH shall not offer the assets (tangible or intangible) which
comprise JLH, its affiliates, subsidiaries, or any divisions thereof, for sale
or combination to any person or entity other than CALCI nor will JLH, or any of

                  (ii)     JLH will hold harmless, indemnify and defend CALCI at
         any time prior to the Effective Time or, at any time should CALCI not
         close this transaction, from and against any and all actions, suits,

         the transactions contemplated herein.

         (h)      Solicitation of Employees. In the event of the termination of
this Agreement prior to Closing, the Parties shall not, for a period of two (2)
years from the date of such termination, call on, solicit, take away or attempt
to call on, solicit, or take away any of the employees of the other who was
employed by one of the Parties at any time during the period of this Agreement,

         indemnify and defend CALCI against and with respect to any and all
         damage, loss, liability, deficiency, cost and expense, including

         and the Acquisition Company against and with respect to any and all

CALCI may waive any condition specified in this Section 6(b) if it executes a
writing so stating at or prior to the Closing.

         7.       TERMINATION.

         (a)      Termination of Agreement. Any of the Parties may terminate
this Agreement with the prior authorization of its board of directors (whether
before or after stockholder approval) as provided below:

                  (i)      the Parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual
         written consent at any time prior to the Effective Time;

                  (ii)     JLH and the Acquisition Company may terminate this
         Agreement by giving written notice to CALCI if the Closing shall not
         have occurred upon the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date
         hereof, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent hereunder
         (unless the failure results primarily from JLH or the Acquisition
         Company breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained
         in this Agreement);

                  (iii)    CALCI may terminate this Agreement by giving written
         notice to JLH and the Acquisition Company at any time prior to the
         Effective Time:

                  (A)      in the event JLH or the Acquisition Company has
                           breached any material representation, warranty, or
                           covenant contained in this Agreement in any material
                           respect, CALCI has notified JLH and the Acquisition
                           Company of the breach, and the breach has continued
                           without cure for a period of 30 days after the notice
                           of breach, or

                  (B)      if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
                           the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date
                           hereof, by reason of the failure of any condition
                           precedent hereunder (unless the failure results
                           primarily from CALCI breaching any representation,
                           warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement);

                  (iv)     CALCI may, without any liability, terminate this
         Agreement by giving written notice to JLH and the Acquisition Company
         at any time prior to the Effective Time in the event CALCI's board of
         directors concludes that termination would be in the best interests of
         CALCI and its stockholders.

         (b)      Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 7(a) above, all rights and obligations of the Parties
hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party
(except for any liability of any Party then in breach); provided, however, that
the confidentiality provisions contained in Section 5 above shall survive any
such termination.

         8.       REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         A.       Demand Registrations.

                           (i)   Requests for Registration. Subject to paragraph
                  1(b) below, at any time and from time to time after the first
                  anniversary of the Effective Date, the holders of at least 51%
                  of the shares held by the former shareholders of CALCI
                  (ORegistrable SecuritiesO) may request registration, whether
                  underwritten or otherwise, of all or part of their Registrable
                  Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration
                  ("Long-Form Registrations"), or on Form S-2 or S-3 or any
                  similar short-form registration ("Short-Form Registrations")
                  if available. Within ten days after receipt of any such
                  request, the Company will give written notice of such
                  requested registration to all other holders of Registrable
                  Securities and will include in such registration all
                  Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has
                  received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days
                  after the receipt of the Company's notice. All registrations
                  requested pursuant to this paragraph 1(a) are referred to
                  herein as "Demand Registrations".

                           (ii)  Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The
                  Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand Long-Form
                  Registration during the period starting with the date thirty
                  (30) days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the
                  date of filing of, and ending on a date one hundred twenty
                  (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated
                  registration; provided that the Company is actively employing
                  in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
                  registration statement to become effective. The Company may
                  postpone for up to one hundred twenty (120) days the filing or
                  the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand
                  Registration if the Company determines in good faith, that
                  such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have
                  a material adverse effect on the Company.

         B.       Piggyback Registrations.

                           (i)   Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company
                  proposes to register any of its securities under the
                  Securities Act (other than pursuant to (i) a Demand
                  Registration, (ii) a registration in connection with shares
                  issued by the Company in connection with a merger,
                  consolidation, exchange offer or the acquisition of all or
                  substantially all of the assets of any company or companies or
                  (iii) a registration solely of shares that have been issued
                  pursuant to the Company's employee benefit plans) and the
                  registration form to be used may be used for the registration
                  of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"), the
                  Company will give prompt written notice to all holders of
                  Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a
                  registration and will include in such registration all
                  Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has
                  received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen
                  (15) days after the receipt of the Company's notice.



                                       28
<PAGE>   29

                           (ii)     Piggyback Expenses. The Registration
                  Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities will be paid
                  by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations.

                           (iii)    Priority on Primary Registrations. If a
                  Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration
                  on behalf of the Company, the Company will include in such
                  registration all Registrable Securities requested to be
                  included in such registration; provided, that if the managing
                  underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their
                  opinion the number of securities requested to be included in
                  such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
                  offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the
                  offering, the Company will include in such registration (i)
                  first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii)
                  second, the Registrable Securities (and other securities with
                  pari passu registration rights) requested to be included in
                  such registration, pro rata among the holders of such
                  Registrable Securities (and other securities with pari passu
                  registration rights) on the basis of the number of shares of
                  Registrable Securities (and other securities with pari passu
                  registration rights) owned by each holder of securities to be
                  registered in such offering and (iii) third, other securities,
                  if any, requested to be included in such registration;
                  provided that in any event the holders of Registrable
                  Securities shall be entitled to register at least 20% of the
                  securities to be included in any such registration, other than
                  the Company's initial underwritten primary registration,
                  unless waived by the holders of at least 51% of the
                  Registrable Securities to be included in such registration.

                           (iv)     Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a
                  Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary
                  registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities,
                  and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing
                  that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be
                  included in such registration exceeds the number which can be
                  sold in such offering without adversely affecting the
                  marketability of the offering, the Company will include in
                  such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be
                  included in such registration by the holders requesting such
                  registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities (and
                  other securities with pari passu registration rights)
                  requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among
                  the holders of such Registrable Securities (and other
                  securities with pari passu registration rights) on the basis
                  of the number of Registrable Securities (and other securities
                  with pari passu registration rights) owned by each holder of
                  securities to be registered in such offering, and (iii) third,
                  other securities requested to be included in such registration
                  not covered by clause (i) above.

                           (v)      Other Registrations. If the Company has
                  previously filed a registration statement with respect to
                  Registrable Securities pursuant to paragraph 1 or pursuant to
                  this paragraph 2, and if such previous registration has not
