          WHEREAS, the Alterra Lessees and Purchaser each received direct and indirect benefits from the consummation of each of the transactions evidenced by the facility lease agreements relating to the Alterra-Meditrust Pool (collectively, the "Meditrust/Alterra Leases") and, in consideration of such benefits, the obligations under documents evidencing and/or securing the Meditrust/Alterra Leases (collectively, the "Meditrust/Alterra Lease Documents") are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized and Purchaser has guarantied the ogbligations of the Alterra Lessees under the Meditrust/Alterra Lease Documents;

          WHEREAS, during the past several months, Purchaser, the Alterra Lessees and certain of their respective subsidiaries and/or affiliates have experienced cash flow shortfalls at certain of their respective facilities and businesses;

          WHEREAS, the Meditrust Entities wish to avoid (i) the damage to the reputation and other goodwill of the facilities demised under the Mediturst/Alterra Leases that may result from any future inability of the Purchaser and the Alterra Lessees to perform their respective obligations under the Meditrust/Alterra Lease Documents as a consequence of their deteriorating financial condition and (ii) the delay and expense attendant to any exercise of their rights and remedies under the Meditrust/Alterra Lease Documents;

          WHEREAS, included in the Alterra-Meditrust Pool are the premises owned by Seller and demised to Lessee under the eight (8) Facility Lease Agreements more particularly identified onExhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by referenced (collectively, the "Existing Leases") whereby Lessee leases the Facilities (as hereinafter defined);

          WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase all of the premises demised under the Existing Leases, including without limitation, each "Facility" as defined under each of the Existing Leases (collectively, the "Facilities") at a favorable price from Seller, so that Purchaser and Lessee may then, in turn, sell the Facilities and Lessee's business operations at such Facilities to a third party (with whom Lessee has entered into an agreement to sell such assets at a favorable price to Lessee) in order to (i) eliminate the on-going liabilities and obligations of the Purchaser and Lessee under the Existing Leases and related to the operation of the Facilities and (ii) raise cash from the sale to be used for future working capital needs and to address their cash flow shortages;

          WHEREAS, Purchaser and the Alterra Lessees have agreed to the Waiver of the Rights of First Refusal because the extension of the Prior Waivers and the consummation of the sale of the Facilities to the Purchaser will provide direct and indirect benefits to Purchaser and the Alterra Lessees by allowing such parties to avoid defaults under the Meditrust/Alterra Leases (which could lead to the Meditrust Entities exercising their rights and remedies thereunder to the disadvantage of Purchaser and the Alterra Lessees and their respective business operations), by eliminating certain on-going liabilities under the Meditrust/Alterra Lease Documents and by generating additional cash for Purchaser and the Alterra Lessees to assist such parties in addressing their deteriorating financial condition; while the Waiver of the Rights of First Refusal will have no adverse impact on (i) the on-going operations of the remaining facilities in the Alterra-Meditrust Pool, (ii) the values of the respective business operations o f Purchaser and the Alterra Lessees or (ii) the ability of Purchaser and the Alterra Lessees to meet their debts as they become due.
