                      COLLECTIVE LEASED PROPERTIES AND TERM

2.1 Collective Leased Properties.


     Upon and  subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  hereinafter  set  forth,
Landlord  leases to Tenant and Tenant  leases from Landlord all of the following
(collectively, the "Collective Leased Properties"):


         (a) those  certain  tracts,  pieces  and  parcels of land  conveyed  to
         Landlord  pursuant to Deeds  dated on or  about  the date  hereof,  the
         common  names and street  addresses of which are set forth in Exhibit A
         attached hereto (the "Land");


         (b) all buildings, structures, Fixtures and other improvements of every
         kind including,  but not limited to, alleyways and connecting  tunnels,
         sidewalks,  utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site and off-site), 
         parking areas and roadways  appurtenant  to such buildings and 
         structures presently situated upon the Land and all Capital  Additions
         (collectively, the "Leased Improvements");


         (c) all easements, rights and appurtenances relating to the Land and 
         the Leased Improvements;


         (d) all equipment,  machinery,  fixtures,  and other items of property,
         now or hereafter permanently affixed to or incorporated into the Leased
         Improvements,  including,  without limitation,  all furnaces,  boilers,
         heaters,   electrical   equipment,    heating,   plumbing,    lighting,
         ventilating,  refrigerating,  incineration,  air  and  water  pollution
         control, waste disposal,  air-cooling and air-conditioning  systems and
         apparatus,  sprinkler systems and fire and theft protection  equipment,
         all of which, to the maximum extent permitted by law, are hereby deemed
         by the parties  hereto to  constitute  real estate,  together  with all
         replacements,  modifications,  alterations and additions  thereto,  but
         specifically  excluding Tenant's Personal Property  (collectively,  the
         "Fixtures");


         (e) all machinery, equipment, furniture, furnishings, moveable walls or
         partitions, computers or trade fixtures or other personal property of 
         any kind or descript on used or
                                      -14-





         useful in  Tenant's  business  on or in the  Leased  Improvements,  and
         located  on  or  in  the  Leased   Improvements,   including,   without
         limitation,   all  "Personal  Property"  as  defined  in  the  Purchase
         Agreement,  and  all  modifications,   replacements,   alterations  and
         additions to such personal  property,  except items,  if any,  included
         within the category of Fixtures,  but specifically  excluding  Tenant's
         Personal Property (collectively, the "Leased Personal Property"); and


         (f) all leases of space (including any security deposits held by Tenant
         pursuant thereto) in the Leased Improvements to tenants thereof.


         Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant,  and Tenant hereby  assumes,  all of
the leases described in clause (f) immediately preceding,  such assumption being
to the full extent set forth in the Assignment of Leases executed at the closing
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  In connection  therewith,  Tenant agrees to
perform any and all covenants of landlord thereunder,  past, present and future.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  such leases  shall,  without the  necessity of
further  documentation,  be deemed reassigned to Landlord upon the expiration or
earlier  termination of the Term. In connection  with any  reassignment  thereof
occurring  following an Event of Default hereunder,  such reassignment shall not
release Tenant from any liability  thereunder  with respect to the period ending
prior to the expiration of the Term.


2.2 Condition of Collective Leased Properties.


     Tenant  acknowledges  receipt and delivery of possession of the  Collective
Leased  Properties and Tenant accepts the Collective  Leased Properties in their
"as is"  condition,  subject  to the  rights of all  occupants  and  parties  in
possession,  the existing state of title,  including all covenants,  conditions,
restrictions,  reservations,  mineral  leases,  easements  and other  matters of
record or that are visible or apparent on the Collective Leased Properties,  all
applicable Legal Requirements, the lien of financing instruments,  mortgages and
deeds of trust, and such other matters which would be disclosed by an inspection
of the  Collective  Leased  Properties  and the  record  title  thereto or by an
accurate survey thereof.  TENANT REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE COLLECTIVE
LEASED  PROPERTIES AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING AND HAS FOUND THE CONDITION  THEREOF
SATISFACTORY AND IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF LANDLORD OR
LANDLORD'S AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO, AND TENANT WAIVES ANY CLAIM
OR ACTION AGAINST LANDLORD IN RESPECT OF THE CONDITION OF THE COLLECTIVE  LEASED
PROPERTIES. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN
RESPECT OF THE COLLECTIVE  LEASED  PROPERTIES OR ANY PART THEREOF,  EITHER AS TO
ITS FITNESS FOR USE,  DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY  PARTICULAR  USE OR PURPOSE OR
OTHERWISE,  OR AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN,  LATENT
OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, however,  Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all
of Landlord's rights to proceed against any predecessor in title for breaches of
warranties or representations or for latent defects in the
                                      -15-





Collective Leased Properties.  Landlord shall fully cooperate with Tenant in the
prosecution of any such claims,  in Landlord's or Tenant's name, all at Tenant's
sole  cost and  expense.  Tenant  shall  indemnify,  defend,  and hold  harmless
Landlord  from and  against  any  loss,  cost,  damage or  liability  (including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  incurred  by  Landlord  in  connection  with such
cooperation.


2.3 Fixed Term.


     The initial term of this  Agreement  (the "Fixed  Term") shall  commence at
12:01 a.m. on the  Commencement  Date and shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on the last
day of the twelfth (12th) Lease Year.


2.4 Extended Term.


     Provided  that no Default or Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be
continuing and this Agreement  shall be in full force and effect,  Tenant shall,
subject to Section 2.5 below, have the right to extend the Term for each of four
(4) consecutive five (5)-year renewal terms (collectively, the "Extended Terms")
for all, and not less than all, of the Collective Leased Properties.


     Each Extended Term shall  commence on the day  succeeding the expiration of
the Fixed Term or the  preceding  Extended  Term, as the case may be. All of the
terms,  covenants and provisions of this Agreement (including but not limited to
those with respect to Additional Rent and payments of the Allowance) shall apply
to each such Extended  Term,  except that (x) the Minimum Rent for each Extended
Term  shall be the  Fair  Market  Rental  for such  Extended  Term and  shall be
determined  pursuant to Section 2.5 below and (y) Tenant  shall have no right to
extend the Term beyond the  expiration  of the Extended  Terms.  If Tenant shall
elect to  exercise  any of the  aforesaid  options,  it  shall  do so by  giving
Landlord  Notice  thereof  not later  than one (1) year  prior to the  scheduled
expiration  of the then current Term of this  Agreement  (Fixed Term or Extended
Term, as the case may be), it being  understood and agreed that time shall be of
the essence with  respect to the giving of such Notice.  Tenant may not exercise
its option for more than one such  Extended Term at a time. If Tenant shall fail
to give any such Notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end
of the Term then in effect and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the
Term of this Agreement.  If Tenant shall give such Notice, the extension of this
Agreement  shall  be  automatically   effected  without  the  execution  of  any
additional documents,  it being understood and agreed,  however, that Tenant and
Landlord  shall  execute such  documents  and  agreements  as either party shall
reasonably require to evidence the same.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of the
foregoing  sentence,  if,  subsequent to the giving of such Notice,  an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing,  unless Landlord shall otherwise  consent
in writing,  the extension of this Agreement shall cease to take effect and this
Agreement  shall  automatically  terminate at the end of the Term then in effect
and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement.


2.5 Determination of Minimum Rent for Extended Terms.
                                      -16-






     The Minimum  Rent for each  Extended  Term shall be equal to the amount set
forth in clause (x) in Section 2.4 above and shall be  determined  by the mutual
greement of Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord  receives
Tenant's  Notice  exercising  its option to extend with respect to such Extended
Term, but in no event earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the  commencement
of the applicable  Extended Term. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to
agree on the  Minimum  Rent for such  Extended  Term within  such  period,  such
Minimum  Rent shall be  determined  pursuant to  appraisal  in  accordance  with
Article 19.

                                      RENT

3.1 Rent.


     Tenant  shall pay to  Landlord,  in lawful  money of the  United  States of
America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts,
without offset,  abatement,  demand or deduction,  Minimum Rent, Additional Rent
and  Additional  Charges,  during  the  Term,  except as  hereinafter  expressly
provided. All payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available  federal  funds or by other means  acceptable  to Landlord and Tenant,
each in its sole  discretion.  Rent for any partial month shall be prorated on a
per diem basis based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.


3.1.1 Minimum Rent.


     Minimum  Rent shall be paid in  advance  on the first day of each  calendar
month;  provided,  however,  that the first monthly  installment of Minimum Rent
shall be payable on the Commencement Date.


3.1.2 Additional Rent.


     Additional  Rent shall be paid in advance on the first day of each calendar
month; provided,  however, that the first monthly installment of Additional Rent
shall be payable on the  Commencement  Date.  Except as  otherwise  set forth in
Section  12.1(a)  hereof,  Tenant's  failure  to pay  Additional  Rent shall not
constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder.


3.1.3 Additional Charges.


     In addition to the Minimum  Rent and  Additional  Rent  payable  hereunder,
Tenant  shall  pay and  discharge  as and when  due and  payable  the  following
(collectively, "Additional Charges"):


     (a)  Impositions.  Subject  to Article 8 relating  to  Permitted  Contests,
     Tenant  shall pay, or cause to be paid,  all  Impositions  before any fine,
     penalty, interest or cost (other

                                      -17-



     than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to take advantage of any
     discount for early payment) may be added for non-payment,  such payments to
     be made  directly  to the  taxing  authorities  where  feasible,  and shall
     promptly, upon request,  furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or
     other satisfactory  proof evidencing such payments.  If any such Imposition
     may,  at the  option  of the  taxpayer,  lawfully  be paid in  installments
     (whether  or not  interest  shall  accrue  on the  unpaid  balance  of such
     Imposition),  Tenant  may  exercise  the  option  to pay the same  (and any
     accrued  interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments
     and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term as the same
     become due and before any fine, penalty,  premium, further interest or cost
     may be added  thereto.  Landlord,  at its  expense,  shall,  to the  extent
     required or permitted by applicable  law,  prepare and file all tax returns
     in respect of Landlord's net income, gross receipts,  sales and use, single
     business,  transaction  privilege,  rent, ad valorem,  franchise  taxes and
     taxes on its capital  stock,  and Tenant,  at its  expense,  shall,  to the
     extent  required or permitted by applicable laws and  regulations,  prepare
     and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any  Imposition as
     may be required by any government or Government Agency. Provided no Default
     or Event of Default  shall have occurred and be  continuing,  if any refund
     shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by
     Tenant, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant.  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  Collective
     Leased  Properties as may be necessary to prepare any required  returns and
     reports.  In the event Government Agencies classify any property covered by
     this  Agreement  as  personal  property,  Tenant  shall  file all  personal
     property  tax returns in such  jurisdictions  where it may legally so file.
     Each party shall,  to the extent it possesses the same,  provide the other,
     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,  Landlord shall
     provide  Tenant with copies of assessment  notices in  sufficient  time for
     Tenant to file a protest.  All Impositions  assessed  against such personal
     property shall be  (irrespective  of whether  Landlord or Tenant shall file
     the  relevant  return) paid by Tenant not later than the last date on which
     the same may be made without interest or penalty.  If the provisions of any
     Facility  Mortgage  require  deposits on account of  Impositions to be made
     with such  Facility  Mortgagee,  provided  the Facility  Mortgagee  has not
     elected to waive such  provision,  Tenant  shall  either pay  Landlord  the
     monthly  amounts  required  at the time and place that  payments of Minimum
     Rent are required and Landlord shall transfer such amounts to such Facility
     Mortgagee or, pursuant to written direction by Landlord,  Tenant shall make
     such  deposits  directly  with such  Facility  Mortgagee.  Landlord  shall,
     however,  use  commercially  reasonable  best efforts to cause any Facility
     Mortgagee not to impose such obligation on Tenant.


         Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions  payable
by Tenant  hereunder  of which  Landlord  at any time has  knowledge;  provided,
however,  that  Landlord's  failure  to give  any  such  Notice  shall in no way
diminish  Tenant's  obligation  hereunder to pay such  Impositions,  except that
Landlord shall (unless Tenant itself knew, or should have known,

                                      -18-




about the existence of such Impositions obligation) pay all penalties, fines and
other expenses arising out of Landlord's failure to give such Notice.

     (b) Utility  Charges.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for
     electricity,  power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in connection
     with the Collective Leased Properties.


     (c) Insurance  Premiums.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums
     for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article 9.


     (d) Other Charges.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all other amounts,
     liabilities  and  obligations  which Tenant  assumes or agrees to pay under
     this Agreement,  including, without limitation, all agreements to indemnify
     Landlord under Sections 4.4 and 9.7.


     (e) Prorations.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts  required
     to be paid by OpCo under Section 10.4 of the Purchase Agreement.


     (f)  Reimbursement  for Additional  Charges. If Tenant pays or causes to be
     paid property taxes or similar Additional  Charges  attributable to periods
     after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration or sooner termination of
     this  Agreement  (other than  termination  following  an Event of Default),
     Tenant may,  within sixty (60) days of the end of the Term,  provide Notice
     to  Landlord of its  estimate  of such  amounts.  Landlord  shall  promptly
     reimburse  Tenant  for  all  payments  of  such  taxes  and  other  similar
     Additional  Charges that are  attributable  to any period after the Term of
     this Agreement (unless this Agreement shall have been terminated  following
     an Event of Default).  Tenant  acknowledges  that it has no claims  against
     Landlord for Additional  Charges  attributable  to the periods prior to the
     first day of the Term.


3.2 Late Payment of Rent.


     If any  installment of (i) Minimum Rent, (ii) Additional Rent (with respect
to which Landlord has made a disbursement of the Allowance) or (iii)  Additional
Charges (but only as to those  Additional  Charges which are payable directly to
Landlord)  shall not be paid on its due date,  Tenant  shall  pay  Landlord,  on
demand,  as Additional  Charges,  a late charge (to the extent permitted by law)
computed at the  Overdue  Rate on the amount of such  installment,  from the due
date of such  installment  to the date of payment  thereof.  To the extent  that
Tenant  pays  any  Additional  Charges  directly  to  Landlord  or any  Facility
Mortgagee  pursuant  to any  requirement  of this  Agreement,  Tenant  shall  be
relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the Entity to which
they would otherwise be due.


     In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any  Additional  Charges  when
due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine,
penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of
such items.  Landlord shall have all legal,  equitable and  contractual  rights,
powers and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise
in the  case  of  non-payment  of the  Additional  Charges  as in  the  case  of
non-payment of

                                      -19-




the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, except as otherwise  specifically provided
in this Agreement.


3.3 Net Lease.


     The Minimum Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this Agreement
shall  yield to  Landlord  the full  amount of the  installments  or  amounts of
Minimum  Rent  throughout  the Term,  subject  to any other  provisions  of this
Agreement which expressly provide for adjustment of such Minimum Rent.

3.4 No Termination, Abatement, Etc.


     Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Tenant, to the
maximum  extent  permitted  by law,  shall  remain  bound by this  Agreement  in
accordance  with its terms and shall neither take any action without the consent
of Landlord to modify,  surrender or terminate this Agreement,  nor seek, nor be
entitled to any  abatement,  deduction,  deferment or reduction of the Rent,  or
set-off  against the Rent, nor shall the respective  obligations of Landlord and
Tenant be otherwise  affected by reason of (a) any damage to or  destruction  of
any of the  Collective  Leased  Properties or any portion  thereof from whatever
cause or any  Condemnation;  (b) the  lawful  or  unlawful  prohibition  of,  or
restriction upon,  Tenant's use of any of the Collective Leased  Properties,  or
any  portion  thereof,  or the  interference  with such use by any  Person or by
reason of  eviction by  paramount  title;  (c) any claim  which  Tenant may have
against  Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord
under this Agreement or any other agreement  between Landlord and Tenant,  or to
which  Landlord  and  Tenant  are  parties;  (d)  any  bankruptcy,   insolvency,
reorganization,  composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up
or other  proceedings  affecting  Landlord  or any  assignee  or  transferee  of
Landlord; or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the
foregoing.   Tenant  hereby  waives  all  rights  arising  from  any  occurrence
whatsoever,  which may now or  hereafter  be  conferred  upon it by law,  to (i)
modify,  surrender or terminate  this  Agreement or quit or surrender any of the
Collective Leased  Properties or any portion thereof,  or (ii) entitle Tenant to
any  abatement,  reduction,  suspension  or  deferment of the Rent or other sums
payable or other  obligations  to be  performed by Tenant  hereunder,  except as
otherwise  specifically  provided in this  Agreement.  The obligations of Tenant
hereunder  shall be separate and independent  covenants and agreements,  and the
Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable
in all  events  unless  the  obligations  to pay the same  shall  be  terminated
pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.


3.5 Annual Allowance.


     Provided no Default or Event of Default  pursuant to Section 12.1(a) hereof
has occurred and is  continuing  and this  Agreement  shall be in full force and
effect,  Landlord  shall pay the  Allowance  to, or at the  direction of, Tenant
during each Lease Year of the Term. At least Ten Million  Dollars  ($10,000,000)
of the Allowance shall be used to pay for Capital  Expenditures made during such
Lease Year. At Tenant's  election,  Tenant shall have the right to use up to Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Allowance to pay for Impositions,  premiums
for insurance required pursuant
                                      -20-





to  Article  9 hereof  and  franchise  fees due and owing  under  the  Franchise
Agreement.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,  any and
all assets  paid for (or which are the subject of  reimbursements  to Tenant) by
disbursements  of the  Allowance  with  respect  to Capital  Expenditures  shall
immediately  be the property of Landlord and  constitute  part of the Collective
Leased  Properties.  Any portion of the  Allowance  not utilized in a particular
Lease  Year  shall,  subject  to  the  sentence  immediately  following,  remain
available for use in subsequent Lease Years.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing (x)
in the event less than  $10,000,000  of the Allowance for any Lease Year is used
to pay for Capital  Expenditures,  then a portion of any amount  remaining to be
used in subsequent Lease Years shall be used only for Capital Expenditures, such
portion being equal to the amount by which Capital  Expenditures funded with the
Allowance  for such Lease Year were less than  $10,000,000  and (y) in the event
any portion of the Allowance  (including amounts accrued from prior Lease Years)
is not  utilized  as of the last day of the Term,  such  amount  shall be deemed
forfeited and Tenant will receive no payment or credit with respect thereto.


     In order to receive a disbursement of the Allowance, Tenant shall submit to
Landlord (but not more often than twice monthly) a statement, certified pursuant
to an Officer's Certificate  transmitted therewith,  setting forth in reasonable
detail a  description  of the Capital  Expenditures,  impositions,  premiums for
insurance  required pursuant to Article 9 hereof, and Franchise Fees incurred or
owing during such Lease Year and for which an Allowance  disbursement is sought.
Such  Officer's  Certificate  shall  certify  that the  expenditures  for  which
reimbursement  is sought are either within  Tenant's  approved  annual budget or
have been  approved by  Franchisor.  Within five (5) Business Days after receipt
thereof,   Landlord  shall  reimburse  to  Tenant  (or,  upon  Tenant's  written
direction,  included  along  with  such  certified  statement,  pay  third-party
contractors or vendors identified therein)  appropriate amounts requested.  Upon
two (2)  Business  Days  prior  Notice  Landlord  shall  have the right to audit
Tenant's books and records to confirm the accuracy of any such statement.


     The foregoing provision hereof notwithstanding,  in no event shall Landlord
be  obligated  (x) to make  disbursements  in any  Lease  Year in  excess of Ten
Million  Dollars  ($10,000,000)  with  respect  to  impositions,   premiums  for
insurance  required pursuant to Article 9 hereof,  and Franchise Fees, except to
the extent that any amounts carry over from previous years pursuant to the first
paragraph of Section 3.5,  (y) to make  disbursements  with respect to any Lease
Year in excess of the  Additional  Rent  theretofore  paid for such Lease  Year,
except to the extent that any amounts carry over from previous years pursuant to
the first  paragraph  of  Section  3.5 or (z) to make any  disbursements  of the
Allowance  if Tenant has failed to pay any monthly  installments  of  Additional
Rent at least equal to such disbursements.

4.1 Permitted Use.


4.1.1 Primary Intended Use.

an Environmental  Obligation,  as may be reasonably required by Landlord, (i) to
clean up, remove or remediate  from and about the Collective  Leased  Properties
all Hazardous  Substances  thereon,  (ii) to contain,  prevent and eliminate any
further  release or threat of release of  Hazardous  Substances  on or about the

of the Collective Leased Properties of any Hazardous  Substances.  Tenant's duty
herein  includes,  but is not limited to,  indemnification  for costs associated
with  personal  injury or property  damage claims as a result of the presence of
Hazardous  Substances  in, upon or under the soil or ground  water of any of the
Collective  Leased  Properties in violation of any  Applicable  Law. Upon Notice
from  Landlord,  Tenant shall  undertake the defense,  at Tenant's sole cost and
expense,  of  any  indemnification   duties  set  forth  herein.  The  foregoing
provisions  hereof  notwithstanding,  Tenant's  indemnification  of any Facility
Mortgagee  pursuant  to this  Section  4.4.3  shall not extend to or include the
investigation  and defense  expenses  (including,  but not limited to, legal and
consulting fees and expenses) incurred by such Facility Mortgagee.

any time and from  time to time,  to cease its  operations  in any or all of the
Facilities.  Nothing  herein shall  entitle  Tenant to any  reduction in Rent or
diminish  any  of  Tenant's  other  obligations,  including  without  limitation
obligations to (x) maintain and insure any and all facilities, and (y) surrender
each  Facility  upon  expiration  or  sooner  termination  of the Term  with all

Primary Intended Use. Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.1.1 as to any of
the Collective Leased Properties shall be limited,  in the event of any casualty

other cause or reason.  All materialmen,  contractors,  artisans,  mechanics and
laborers  and  other  persons  contracting  with  Tenant  with  respect  to  the
Collective  Leased  Properties,  or any part  thereof,  are hereby  charged with
notice that such liens are expressly  prohibited  and that they must look solely
to Tenant to secure payment for any work done or material  furnished for Capital
Additions by Tenant or for any other purpose during the term of this Agreement.


     Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way
as  constituting  the consent or request of  Landlord,  express or  implied,  by
inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialmen
for the  performance  of any labor or the  furnishing  of any  materials for any
alteration,  addition,  improvement  or repair to any of the  Collective  Leased
Properties or any part thereof or as giving Tenant any right, power or authority
to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any
materials  that  would give rise to the  filing of any lien  against  any of the
Collective  Leased  Properties  or any part  thereof  nor to subject  Landlord's
estate  in any of the  Collective  Leased  Properties  or any  part  thereof  to
liability  under  any  Mechanic's  Lien Law of the  State  in any way,  it being
expressly  understood  that  Landlord's  estate shall not be subject to any such
liability.


5.2 Tenant's Personal Property.


     Tenant may (and shall as provided  hereinbelow),  at its expense,  install,

order  to  operate  all of the  Facilities  located  at  the  Collective  Leased
Properties in compliance in all material respects with all applicable  licensure
and certification requirements, in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements
and Insurance  Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary  practice
in the industry for such Primary Intended Use. All of Tenant's Personal Property

aggregate basis, in amount and value similar to that reasonably  established for
use

                                      -27-



by the Facilities in the  immediately  preceding Lease Year) shall remain at the
Collective  Leased  Properties at the expiration or earlier  termination of this
Agreement without the necessity of any payment by Landlord to Tenant and without
any obligation to account therefor.


     If Tenant uses any material  item of tangible  personal  property on, or in
connection  with, any Leased Property which belongs to anyone other than Tenant,
Tenant  shall use its  commercially  reasonable  best  efforts  to  require  the
agreement  permitting  such use to provide  that  Landlord or its  designee  may
assume  Tenant's rights under such agreement upon management or operation of the
applicable Facility by Landlord or its designee.


5.3 Yield Up.


     Upon the expiration or sooner  termination of this Agreement,  Tenant shall
vacate and surrender each of the Collective Leased Properties to Landlord in the

permitted or required by the provisions of this  Agreement,  reasonable wear and
tear excepted (and Condemnation,  in the event that this Agreement is terminated

Personal  Property  (i.e.,  but not,  subject to Section 12.6 hereof,  documents
primarily related to Tenant's business operated therein) including documents and
records  obtained by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Purchase  Agreement.
Landlord (or its  designee)  shall have the right,  but not the  obligation,  to
assume any or all contracts  relating to the  Collective  Leased  Properties and

business  operated  therein).  In no event shall Landlord (or its designee) have
any liability under such contracts for obligations or liabilities accruing under
such contracts prior to the date of such assumption by such party.  Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord keys and security  deposits (for assumed leases) in the same
fashion as described in Sections 10.2(e) and 10.4(d) of the Purchase Agreement.


     In addition,  upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,
Tenant  shall,  at  Landlord's  sole  cost  and  expense,  use its  commercially
reasonable best efforts to transfer to and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord's
nominee in  connection  with the  processing of all  applications  for licenses,
operating  permits  and other  governmental  authorizations  and all  contracts,
including contracts with governmental or  quasi-governmental  entities which may
be necessary  for the  operation  of the  Facilities  located on the  Collective
Leased Properties.  If requested by Landlord, Tenant will continue to manage any
such Facility after the expiration or sooner  termination of the Term and for as
long thereafter as is necessary (but not to exceed six (6) months  following the
date of such expiration or sooner termination) to obtain all necessary licenses,
operating  permits and other  governmental  authorizations,  on such  reasonable
terms as Landlord shall request, but in any event Landlord shall pay to Tenant a
management  fee  equal  to the sum of (i)  reasonable  out-of-pocket  costs  and
expenses of Tenant in providing management  services,  (ii) reasonable allocated
internal  costs of Tenant in providing  management  services  (including but not
limited to a reasonably

                                      -28-




allocated  portion of the salaries and benefits  costs of Tenant  personnel  who
provide such services),  and (iii) 10% of the sum of (i) and (ii). In connection
with  any  such  management  arrangement,  Tenant  will,  use  its  commercially
reasonable best efforts to the extent reasonable  necessary,  maintain in effect
during the period of its management arrangement, those contracts, including (for
sixty (60) days after such  expiration  or sooner  termination,  but after sixty
(60) days, only if the Franchise  Agreement has been assumed pursuant to Section
12.6) the Franchise Agreement,  necessary for the performance of such management
responsibilities  and for  the  operation  of the  Facilities  for  the  Primary
Intended Use.

5.4 Encroachments, Restrictions, Etc.


     If any of the Leased  Improvements  shall,  at any time,  encroach upon any
property,  street or right-of-way  adjacent to the affected Leased Property,  or

covenant or other agreement  affecting any of the Collective Leased  Properties,
or any part thereof,  or shall impair the rights of others under any easement or
right-of-way to which any of the Collective Leased  Properties is subject,  upon
the  request  of  Landlord  (but  only  as to  any  encroachment,  violation  or
impairment that is not a Permitted Encumbrance) or of any Person affected by any
such encroachment,  violation or impairment,  Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense,  subject to its right to contest  the  existence  of any  encroachment,
violation or impairment in accordance  with the  provisions of Article 8, either
(a) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities
and damages  resulting  from each such  encroachment,  violation or  impairment,
whether the same shall  affect  Landlord or Tenant,  or (b) make such changes in
the  Leased   Improvements  and  take  such  other  actions  as  are  reasonably
practicable to remove such encroachment and to end such violation or impairment,
including,  if necessary,  the alteration of any of the Leased Improvements and,
in any event,  take all such  actions as may be necessary in order to ensure the
continued  operation of the affected Leased  Improvements  for their  respective
Primary  Intended Use  substantially in the manner and to the extent such Leased
Improvements were operated prior to the assertion of such violation,  impairment
or  encroachment.  Any  such  alteration  shall be made in  conformity  with the
applicable  requirements  of this  Article 5.  Tenant's  obligations  under this
Section 5.4 shall be in addition  to and shall in no way  discharge  or diminish
any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance.

however,  that Landlord shall have first  determined  that such grant,  release,
dedication,  transfer, petition or amendment is not detrimental to the operation
of the  applicable  Leased  Property  for its Primary  Intended Use and does not
materially  reduce the value of such Leased  Property,  and Landlord  shall have
received an Officer's Certificate  confirming such determination,  together with
such additional information as Landlord may request.


5.6 Philadelphia Facility.


     In the event Franchisor does not complete the  renovation/reconstruction of
the  Philadelphia  Facility  in a timely  manner as  required  by the  Purchase
Agreement  for any reason  (whether or not such failure  constitutes a breach of
covenant by Franchisor  pursuant to Section  7.1(q) of the Purchase  Agreement),
Tenant shall promptly do so at its sole cost.  Tenant shall permit Franchisor to
have  access  to the  property  on  which  the  Philadelphia  Facility  is to be

Insurance  Requirement  applicable  to the  applicable  Leased  Property and (c)
Landlord  shall have  received an  Officer's  Certificate  certifying  as to the
satisfaction  of the  conditions  set  out in  clauses  (a) and  (b)  above.  If
Landlord's consent is required,  prior to commencing construction of any Capital
Addition, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in writing, a proposal setting forth,
in  reasonable  detail,  any  proposed  Capital  Addition  and shall  provide to
Landlord such plans and specifications,  permits, licenses,  contracts and other
information  concerning the proposed Capital Addition as Landlord may reasonably
request.  Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to review all materials submitted
to Landlord in connection with any such proposal. Failure of Landlord to respond
to Tenant's  proposal  within thirty (30) days after receipt of all  information
and  materials  requested by Landlord in  connection  with the proposed  Capital
Addition  shall be  deemed  to  constitute  approval  of such  proposed  Capital
Addition.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall
indicate the approximate  projected cost of constructing  such Capital  Addition
and the use or uses to which it will be put. No Capital  Addition  shall be made
which would tie in or connect any Leased  Improvement on the  applicable  Leased
Property  with any  other  improvements  on  property  adjacent  to such  Leased
Property (and not part of the Land) including,  without  limitation,  tie-ins of
buildings or other structures or utilities.  Any Capital  Additions shall,  upon
the expiration or sooner  termination of this Agreement,  pass to and become the
property of Landlord, free and clear of all

                                      -30-




encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.


6.2 Financing of Capital Additions.


     Tenant may  arrange for  financing  for  Capital  Additions  from a Lending
Institution;  provided, however, that (i) any security interests in any property

Collective Leased Properties,  shall be expressly and fully subordinated to this
Agreement and to the interest of Landlord in the  Collective  Leased  Properties

(ii)  Landlord  shall have a right of first  refusal to  provide  financing  for
Capital Additions in accordance with Section 6.6.


6.3 Capital Additions Financed by Landlord.


     If  Landlord  shall,  (i) at the request of Tenant and in  Landlord's  sole

Addition,  Tenant shall provide  Landlord with such  information as Landlord may

         facilities;


         (b) Copies of all  building,  zoning and land use permits and approvals

         (d) An Officer's  Certificate and a certificate from Tenant's architect
         setting  forth,  in reasonable  detail,  the  projected (or actual,  if
         available)  Capital  Additions Cost, and invoices and lien waivers from
         Tenant's contractors for such work;


         (e) A deed  conveying  to Landlord  title to any land  acquired for the
          purpose of  onstructing  the  Capital  Addition  free and clear of any
          liens or encumbrances, except those
         approved by Landlord,  and, upon completion of the Capital Addition,  a
         final as-built survey thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;


         (f) Endorsements to any outstanding  policy of title insurance covering

         completion  of the  Capital  Addition  exceeds  the Fair  Market  Value

         may be reasonably required by Landlord, any Facility Mortgagee and any
         Lending  Institution  advancing or reimbursing  Landlord or Tenant for
         any portion of the Capital Additions Cost.


         If Landlord shall finance the proposed Capital  Addition,  Landlord may
elect (with Tenant's consent,  such consent not to be unreasonably  withheld) to
obtain  repayment  of amounts so financed  by an  increase  in the Rent  payable
hereunder.


          6.4 Non-Capital Additions.


     Tenant shall have the right,  at Tenant's  sole cost and  expense,  to make
additions,  modifications  or improvements to the Collective  Leased  Properties
which are not Capital Additions  ("Non-Capital  Additions") from time to time as
Tenant,  in its  discretion,  may  deem  desirable  for the  applicable  Primary
Intended Use,  provided that any such  Non-Capital  Addition will not materially
detract from the value, operating efficiency or revenue-producing  capability of
the  applicable  Leased  Property or  adversely  affect the ability of Tenant to
comply  with  the  provisions  of this  Agreement,  and,  without  limiting  the
foregoing,  will not  violate any Legal  Requirement  or  Insurance  Requirement
applicable to the applicable  Leased Property.  All such  Non-Capital  Additions
shall,  upon expiration or earlier  termination of this  Agreement,  pass to and
become the property of Landlord,  free and clear of all liens and  encumbrances,
other than Permitted Encumbrances.

     All materials  which are scrapped or removed in connection  with the making
of either  Capital  Additions or  Non-Capital  Additions or repairs  required by
Article 5 shall be the property of the Landlord.


6.6  Landlord's  Right  of  First  Refusal  to  Provide  Financing  for  Capital
Additions.


     In the event that at any time during the Term Tenant  shall elect to obtain
construction financing in excess of $1,000,000 for any Capital Additions, Tenant
shall  give  Notice  thereof  to  Landlord,  which  notice  shall  set forth  in
reasonable detail the terms of such financing, shall identify the source thereof
and shall include a copy of a final form of commitment letter therefor. Landlord
shall  have the  right,  exercisable  by the  giving of Notice to Tenant  within
thirty  (30) days  after such  notice  from  Tenant,  to provide a final form of
commitment  for such  financing on the same terms and conditions as described in
the Notice given to Landlord.  In the event that  Landlord  shall  exercise such
option,  Tenant shall be obligated to obtain such financing from Landlord on the
terms and  conditions  set forth in the  Notice to  Landlord.  In the event that
Landlord  shall  decline to provide  such  financing  or shall fail to give such
notice to Tenant,  Tenant shall be free to obtain such  financing from the party
identified in, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the Notice given to
Landlord with respect thereto.

7.1 Liens.


     Subject to Article 8 and  Section  16.5,  Tenant  shall  not,  directly  or
indirectly,  create or allow to  remain  and shall  promptly  discharge,  at its
expense, any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim 
up on the Collective Leased Properties or a non-consensual lien against Tenant's
leasehold  interest  therein or any  attachment,  levy,  claim or encumbrance in
respect of the Rent, other than (a) Permitted  Encumbrances,  (b)  restrictions,

liens for those taxes of Landlord which Tenant is not required to pay hereunder,
(d)  subleases  permitted by Article 16, (e) liens for  Impositions  or for sums

liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen,  suppliers or vendors incurred in the
ordinary  course of  business  that are not yet due and  payable or are for sums
that are being  contested  in  accordance  with  Article 8, and (g) any Facility
Mortgages or other liens which are the  responsibility  of Landlord  pursuant to
the provisions of Article 20.


7.2 Landlord's Lien.


     In addition to any statutory landlord's lien and in order to secure payment
of the Rent and all other sums payable  hereunder by Tenant and the  performance
of all of Tenant's  other  obligations  hereunder,  and to secure payment of any
loss,  cost or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's  breach of
this Agreement, Tenant hereby grants unto Landlord a security interest in and

                                      -33-




an express  contractual lien upon Tenant's Personal  Property,  and all proceeds
therefrom,  subject to any Permitted  Encumbrances;  and such Tenant's  Personal
Property shall not be removed from the Collective  Leased Properties at any time
when a  Default  or an  Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing  as
otherwise  permitted pursuant to Section 5.2. In addition,  Tenant hereby grants
unto Landlord a security  interest in those contracts  described in Section 12.6
hereof.


     Upon  Landlord's  request,  Tenant  shall  execute  and deliver to Landlord
financing  statements  in form  sufficient  to perfect the security  interest of
Landlord in (x) Tenant's Personal Property and the proceeds thereof, and (y) the
contracts described in Section 12.6 hereof, in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable  laws of the State.  The security  interest  herein granted is in
addition to any statutory lien for the Rent.

                               PERMITTED CONTESTS

     Tenant  shall  have the right to  contest  the  amount or  validity  of any
Imposition,  Legal Requirement,  Insurance Requirement,  lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance,  charge  or  claim  (collec  ively,  "Claims")  as to  any  of  the
Collective Leased  Properties,  by appropriate legal  proceedings,  conducted in
good faith and with due diligence,  provided that (a) the foregoing  shall in no
way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending Tenant's obligation to pay
any Claims as finally  determined,  (b) such contest shall not cause Landlord or
Tenant to be in default under any mortgage or deed of trust (except with respect
to any Facility  Mortgage,  the terms of which have not been fully  disclosed to
Tenant) encumbering such Leased Property or any interest therein or result in or
reasonably  be expected to result in a lien  attaching to such Leased  Property,
(c) no part of such  Leased  Property  nor any  Rent  therefrom  shall be in any
immediate danger of sale,  forfeiture,  attachment or loss, and (d) Tenant shall
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any cost,  claim,  damage,
penalty or reasonable expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof. Upon Landlord's request
made as a result of a requirement of any Facility Mortgagee, Tenant shall either
(i) provide a bond or other assurance  reasonably  satisfactory to Landlord that
all  Claims  which  may  be  assessed  against  any  of  the  Collective  Leased
Properties,  together with all interest and  penalties  thereon will be paid, or
(ii) deposit within the time otherwise required for payment with a bank or trust
company,  as trustee,  as security  for the  payment of such  Claims,  an amount
sufficient  to pay the same,  together with interest and penalties in connection
therewith and all Claims which may be assessed  against or become a Claim on any
of the Collective Leased Properties, or any part thereof, in connection with any
such contest.  Tenant shall  furnish  Landlord and any Facility  Mortgagee  with
reasonable evidence of such deposit within five (5) days after request therefor.
Landlord agrees,  however, to use commercially  reasonable best efforts to cause
any  Facility  Mortgagee  not to  require  any  bond or  deposit  by  Tenant  as
hereinabove  provided.  Landlord  agrees  to join  in any  such  proceedings  if
required  legally to prosecute  such contest,  provided that Landlord  shall not
thereby be subjected to any liability therefor  (including,  without limitation,
for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith).  Tenant shall
be  entitled  to any refund of any  Claims and such  charges  and  penalties  or
interest  thereon  which  have been paid by Tenant or paid by  Landlord  and for
which Landlord has been fully

                                      -34-




reimbursed  by Tenant.  If Tenant  shall fail (x) to pay any Claims when finally
determined,  (y) to provide security  therefor as provided in this Article 8, or
(z) to prosecute any such contest  diligently  and in good faith,  Landlord may,
upon  reasonable  notice to Tenant  (which  notice  may be oral and shall not be
required  if  Landlord  shall   reasonably   determine  that  the  same  is  not
practicable),  pay such  charges,  together with interest and penalties due with
respect thereto,  and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor,  upon demand, as
Additional Charges.

in the area and in an amount  sufficient to  prevent  Landlord  or  Tenant  from
becoming a co-insurer;


(c)  Comprehensive  general  liability  insurance,  including  bodily injury and
property  damage  (on  the  broadest  form   available,   including  broad  form

within an area  identified as an area having  special flood hazards and in which
flood  insurance has been made available  under the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968, as amended,  or the Flood  Disaster  Protection Act of 1973, as amended
(or any successor  acts  thereto)) and such other hazards and in such amounts as
may be customary for comparable  properties in the area,  said coverage to be in
an amount  equal to the lesser of the full  Replacement  Cost of the  applicable
Leased Property or the maximum amount available;

     "Replacement  Cost" as used herein,  shall mean the actual replacement cost
of the property requiring  replacement from time to time, including an increased
cost of construction endorsement,  less exclusions provided in the standard form

party, at its own cost,  shall have the right to have such full Replacement Cost
redetermined by an accredited  appraiser  approved by the other,  which approval
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  The party desiring to have the
full  Replacement  Cost so  redetermined  shall  forthwith,  on  receipt of such
determination  by such appraiser,  give written notice thereof to the other. The
determination  of such  appraiser  shall be final  and  binding  on the  parties
hereto,  and Tenant shall forthwith  conform the amount of the insurance carried

9.3 Waiver of Subrogation.


     Landlord  and Tenant  agree that  (insofar  as and to the extent  that such
agreement  may be effective  without  invalidating  or making it  impossible  to
secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance companies doing business in
the State) with respect to any property loss which is covered by insurance  then
being  carried by  Landlord or Tenant,  respectively,  the party  carrying  such
insurance  and  suffering  said loss  releases the other of and from any and all
claims with respect to such loss;  and they further agree that their  respective
insurance  companies  shall have no right of  subrogation  against  the other on
account thereof,  even though extra premium may result  therefrom.  In the event
that any extra  premium  is  payable  by  Tenant as a result of this  provision,
Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for such extra premium.


9.4 Form Satisfactory, Etc.

                                      -36-




All  insurance  policies and  endorsements  required  pursuant to this Article 9
shall be fully paid for,  nonassessable  and shall contain such  provisions  and
expiration  dates  and be in such  form and  amounts  and  issued  by  insurance
carriers  authorized  to do  business  in the  State,  having a  general  policy
holder's  rating f at least  A-in  Best's  latest  rating  guide (or such  other
comparable  rating  or such  other  customarily  used  rating  agency  as may be
required  by any  Facility  Mortgagee),  and  otherwise  as shall be approved by
Landlord.  Without  limiting the  foregoing,  such  policies  shall include only
deductibles  reasonably  approved by Landlord  and shall name  Landlord  and any
Facility  Mortgagee  as  additional  insureds.  All  losses  shall be payable to
Landlord or Tenant as provided in Article 10. Any loss adjustment  shall require
the prior written consent of Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall pay all insurance
premiums and deliver policies or certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their
effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy,  thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of the existing  policy),  and, in the event Tenant shall fail
to effect such insurance as herein required,  to pay the premiums therefor or to
deliver such policies or certificates  to Landlord or any Facility  Mortgagee at
the times required,  Landlord shall have the right,  but not the obligation,  to
acquire such  insurance  and pay the premiums  therefor,  which amounts shall be
payable to Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Charges,  together with interest
accrued thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date such payment is made until the
date  repaid.  All such  policies  shall  provide  Landlord  (and  any  Facility
Mortgagee,  if required by the same) thirty (30) days' prior  written  notice of
any material modification, expiration or cancellation of such policy. Tenant may
satisfy its insurance  obligations through the use of (i) a risk retention group
or  purchasing  group or  captive  insurance  company  with a capital  structure
reasonably  approved by Landlord or (ii) a self insurance program with retention
limits reasonably approved by Landlord and an excess policy or policies provided
by an insurer meeting the requirements of this Agreement.


9.5 Blanket Policy.


     Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in this  Article 9,
Tenant's  obligation  to maintain the insurance  herein  required may be brought
within the  coverage of a  so-called  blanket  policy or  policies of  insurance
carried  and  maintained  by  Tenant,  provided  that (a) the  coverage  thereby
afforded will not be reduced or  diminished  from that which would exist under a
separate policy meeting all other  requirements  of this Agreement,  except that
the blanket  all-risk  policy may provide  coverage as to the Collective  Leased
Properties  to a  limit  of  Two  Hundred  Million  Dollars  ($200,000,000)  per
occurrence and (b) the requirements of this Article 9 are otherwise satisfied.


9.6 No Separate Insurance.

                                      -37-



     Tenant  shall  not  take  out  separate  insurance  concurrent  in  form or
contributing  in the event of loss  with that  required  by this  Article  9, or
increase the amount of any existing  insurance by securing an additional  policy
or additional  policies,  unless all parties having an insurable interest in the
subject  matter  of  such  insurance,   including   Landlord  and  all  Facility
Mortgagees,  are included therein as additional insureds and the loss is payable
under  such  insurance  in the same  manner  as  losses  are  payable  under the
insurance required to be carried pursuant to this Agreement. In the event Tenant
shall take out any such separate insurance or increase any of the amounts of the
then existing insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt Notice thereof.


9.7 Indemnification of Landlord.

     Notwithstanding  the  existence  of any  insurance  provided for herein and
without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, Tenant shall protect,
indemnify  and hold  harmless  Landlord  for, from and against all  liabilities,
obligations,  claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and reasonable
expenses  (including,  without limitation,  reasonable  attorneys' fees), to the
maximum extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
Landlord by reason of: (a) any  accident,  injury to or death of persons or loss
of or damage to property  occurring on or about the Collective Leased Properties
or adjoining  sidewalks or rights of way,  including,  without  limitation,  any
claims of malpractice,  (b) any past,  present or future use,  misuse,  non-use,
condition, management, maintenance or repair of the Collective Leased Properties
or  Tenant's  Personal  Property  or any  litigation,  proceeding  or  claim  by
governmental  entities or other third parties to which  Landlord is made a party
or participant relating to the Collective Leased Properties or Tenant's Personal
Property or such use, misuse, non-use,  condition,  management,  maintenance, or
repair  thereof,   including   failure  to  perform   obligations   (other  than
Condemnation  proceedings),   to  which  Landlord  is  made  a  party,  (c)  any
Impositions  (which  are  the  obligations  of  Tenant  to pay  pursuant  to the
applicable  provisions  of this  Agreement),  and (d) any failure on the part of
Tenant or anyone  claiming  under  Tenant to perform  or comply  with any of the
terms of this Agreement. Tenant shall pay all amounts payable under this Section
9.7 within ten (10) days after demand  therefor  and, if not timely  paid,  such
amounts shall bear  interest at the Overdue Rate from the date of  determination
to the date of payment. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend
any such claim,  action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord or
may compromise or otherwise  dispose of the same, with Landlord's  prior written
consent  (which  consent  may not be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed).  The
obligations of Tenant under this Section 9.7 are in addition to the  obligations
set forth in Section 4.4 and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.



9.8 Independent Contractor.

     Tenant  shall cause any person or company  (each a  "Contractor")  entering
upon any of the  Collective  Leased  Properties  to  provide  any  installation,
construction  or repair which x)  constitutes  a Capital  Addition or (y) has an
anticipated  cost in excess of  $250,000  to:  (a) have in full force and effect
Contractor's  Liability Coverage  (hereafter  defined) effective  throughout the
period  said  Contractor  is  upon  said  Leased  Property  and  (b)  deliver  a
certificate  ("Contractor's  Insurance Certificate")  evidencing compliance with
subpart  (a) to Tenant  prior to the  Contractor's  first entry upon said Leased
Property.  As used  herein  the term  Contractor's  Liability  Coverage  means a
comprehensive  general  liability  insurance  policy meeting the requirements of
this Article 9 (as if

                                      -38-




required  to be provided by Tenant)  except the  minimum  policy  limit shall be
$500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 in the aggregate. Within thirty (30) days
after delivery of Landlord's written request, Tenant shall deliver copies of all
Contractor's Certificates to Landlord.

                                    CASUALTY

10.1 Insurance Proceeds.


     All  proceeds  payable  by reason  of any loss or damage to the  Collective
Leased  Properties,  or any portion  thereof,  and  insured  under any policy of
property or  casualty  insurance  required by Article 9 (other than  proceeds of
business interruption  insurance) in excess of $1,000,000 shall be paid directly
to  Landlord  and  retained by Landlord  (subject to the  provisions  of Section
10.2).  If Tenant is required  to  reconstruct  or repair any of the  Collective
Leased  Properties  as  provided  herein,  such  proceeds  shall  be paid out by
Landlord from time to time for the reasonable costs of  reconstruction or repair
of such Leased Property  necessitated by such damage or destruction,  subject to
the  provisions of Section  10.2.3.  Provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the
completion of the  restoration  shall be paid to Tenant.  All salvage  resulting
from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Landlord.



10.2 Damage or Destruction.

10.2.1 Obligation to Restore.  If, during the Term, any of the Collective Leased
Properties shall be totally or partially destroyed Tenant shall promptly restore
such Facility as provided in Section 10.2.3.


10.2.2 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the repair or restoration
of the  applicable  Leased  Property  exceeds the amount of  insurance  proceeds
received by Landlord pursuant to Article 10, upon the demand of Landlord, Tenant
shall contribute any excess amounts needed to restore such Leased Property. Such
difference  shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord  and held by Landlord,  together
with any other  insurance  proceeds,  for  application to the cost of repair and
restoration.


10.2.3  Disbursement  of Proceeds.  Tenant shall,  at its sole cost and expense,
commence promptly and continue  diligently to perform the repair and restoration
of such Leased Property (hereinafter called the "Work"), or shall cause the same
to be done, so as to restore such Leased  Property in full  compliance  with all
Legal  Requirements  and so that such Leased Property shall be at least equal in
value and general utility to its general utility and value  immediately prior to
such damage or destruction.  Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall advance
such  property  and  casualty  insurance  proceeds  and the  amounts  paid to it
pursuant to Section 10.2.2 to Tenant regularly during the repair and restoration
period so as to permit payment for the cost of any such  restoration and repair.
Any such advances shall be for not less than $100,000 (or such lesser amount

                                      -39-




as equals the entire  balance of the repair and  restoration)  and Tenant  shall
submit to Landlord a written  requisition  and  substantiation  therefor on such
form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  Landlord may, at its
option,  condition  advancement of said insurance  proceeds and other amounts on
(i) the absence of any Default or Event of Default,  (ii) its  approval of plans
and  specifications  of an architect  satisfactory  to Landlord,  (iii)  general
contractors' estimates,  (iv) architect's  certificates,  (v) unconditional lien
waivers of general  contractors,  (vi) evidence of approval by all  governmental
authorities  and other  regulatory  bodies whose  approval is required and (vii)
such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.
 Landlord's  obligation  to disburse  insurance  proceeds  under this Article 10
shall be subject to the  release of such  proceeds  by the  applicable  Facility
Mortgagee to Landlord.


     Tenant's  obligation to restore the applicable  Leased Property pursuant to
this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available  insurance proceeds
by the applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant
shall be  entitled  to cease  operations  at such  Facility  pursuant  to and in
accordance  with  Section 4.5 above.  In the event  Tenant  elects to close such
Facility as aforesaid,  Tenant shall, as Additional Charges, pay to Landlord all
property or casualty insurance proceeds received in connection therewith,  along
with any  deductible or retention,  but in no event shall Tenant pay to Landlord
less  than  the  full  Replacement  Cost of such  Facility,  including  Tenant's
Personal Property.



10.3 Tenant's Property.

All  insurance  proceeds  payable  by  reason of any loss of or damage to any of
Tenant's Personal Property shall be paid to Tenant, and, to the extent necessary
to repair or replace Tenant's Personal Property in accordance with Section 10.4,
Tenant  shall  hold  such  proceeds  in trust to pay the  cost of  repairing  or
replacing damaged Tenant's Personal Property.


10.4 Restoration of Tenant's Property.


     If  Tenant is  required  to  restore  the  applicable  Leased  Property  as
hereinabove  provided,  Tenant  shall  either (a)  restore all  alterations  and
improvements made by Tenant and Tenant's Personal Property,  or (b) replace such
alterations and improvements and Tenant's Personal Property with improvements or
items of the same or better  quality and utility in the operation of such Leased
Property.


10.5 No Abatement of Rent.


     This  Agreement  shall  remain  in  full  force  and  effect  and  Tenant's
obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when
required  under  this   Agreement   shall  remain   unabated   during  the  Term
notwithstanding  any damage  involving any of the Collective  Leased  Properties
(provided  that Landlord  shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to
Landlord  as a  consequence  of such  damage  under  any  business  interruption
insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10 shall
be considered an express agreement  governing any cause of damage or destruction
to the applicable Leased Property and, to the

                                      -40-




maximum  extent  permitted  by law,  no  local or State  statute,  laws,  rules,
regulation  or  ordinance  in effect  during the Term which  provide  for such a
contingency shall have any application in such case.


10.6 Waiver.


     Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by
reason of any damage or destruction of any of the Collective Leased Properties.



11

                                  CONDEMNATION

11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc.


     If either (i) the whole of any of the Collective Leased Properties shall be
taken by  Condemnation  or (ii) a Condemnation  of less than the whole of any of
the Collective Leased Properties renders such Leased Property Unsuitable for Its
Primary Intended Use, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Leased
Property,  Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their  interests in such
Leased  Property  as provided in Section  11.5 and the Minimum  Rent  thereafter
payable  shall be  reduced by  one-twelfth  (1/12th)  of the  product of (x) ten
percent  (10%),  and (y) the Award  received  by Landlord  with  respect to such
Leased Property, net of all expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining the same,
including reasonable attorneys' fees.


11.2 Partial Condemnation.


     In the  event  of a  Condemnation  of less  than  the  whole  of any of the
Collective  Leased  Properties  such that such Leased Property is still suitable
for its  Primary  Intended  Use,  Tenant  shall,  at its sole cost and  expense,
commence promptly and continue  diligently to restore the untaken portion of the
Leased  Improvements  on such Leased  Property so that such Leased  Improvements
shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and
condition (as nearly as may be possible under the  circumstances)  as the Leased
Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance
with all  Legal  Requirements.  Subject  to the  terms  hereof,  Landlord  shall
contribute  to the cost of  restoration  that  part of the  Award  necessary  to
complete such repair or  restoration,  together with severance and other damages
awarded  for the taken  Leased  Improvements,  to Tenant  regularly  during  the
restoration  period  so as to  permit  payment  for the cost of such  repair  or
restoration.  Landlord may, at its option,  condition  advancement of such Award
and other amounts on (i) the absence of any  continuing  Event of Default,  (ii)
its  approval  of plans  and  specifications  of an  architect  satisfactory  to
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably  withheld or delayed),  (iii)
general contractors' estimates, (iv) architect's certificates, (v) unconditional
lien  waivers  of  general  contractors,   (vi)  evidence  of  approval  by  all
governmental  authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required
and (vii) such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably
require. Landlord's obligation under this Section 11.2 to disburse the Award and
such other  amounts shall be subject to (x) the  collection  thereof by Landlord
and  (y)  the  satisfaction  of any  applicable  requirements  of  any  Facility
Mortgage, and the release of such Award

                                      -41-





by the  applicable  Facility  Mortgagee.  Tenant's  obligation  to  restore  the
applicable  Leased  Property shall be subject to the release of the Award by the
applicable Facility Mortgagee to Landlord. If the cost of the restoration of the
applicable  Leased Property exceeds that part of the Award necessary to complete
such  restoration,  together with  severance  and other damages  awarded for the
taken Leased  Improvements,  Tenant shall contribute upon the demand of Landlord
any excess amounts needed to restore such Leased Property. Such difference shall
be paid by Tenant to Landlord and held by Landlord,  together  with such part of
the Award and such severance and other damages,  for  application to the cost of
restoration.


11.3 Abatement of Rent.


     Other than as specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and Tenant's  obligation to make all payments of
Rent and to pay all other  charges as and when  required  under  this  Agreement
shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any Condemnation involving
the  Collective  Leased  Properties.  The provisions of this Article 11 shall be
considered an express agreement governing any Condemnation  involving any or all
of the Collective Leased Properties and, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
no local or State statute,  law, rule,  regulation or ordinance in effect during
the Term which  provides for such a contingency  shall have any  application  in
such case.


11.4 Temporary Condemnation.


     In the  event  of any  temporary  Condemnation  of all or any  part  of the
Collective Leased Properties or Tenant's interest therein,  this Agreement shall
continue  in full force and  effect,  and Tenant  shall  continue to pay, in the
manner and on the terms herein  specified,  the full amount of the Rent.  Tenant
shall  continue to perform and observe all of the other terms and  conditions of
this  Agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed.  Provided no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire amount of
any Award made for such temporary  Condemnation  allocable to the Term,  whether
paid by way of  damages,  rent or  otherwise,  shall be paid to  Tenant.  Tenant
shall,   promptly  upon  the   termination  of  any  such  period  of  temporary
Condemnation,  at its sole cost and expense, restore such Leased Property to the
condition  that  existed  immediately  prior  to  such  Condemnation,   in  full
compliance  with  all  Legal  Requirements,  unless  such  period  of  temporary
Condemnation  shall extend  beyond the  expiration  of the Term,  in which event
Tenant  shall not be required  to make such  restoration.  For  purposes of this
Section  11.4, a  Condemnation  shall be deemed to be temporary if the period of
such  Condemnation  is not expected to, and does not,  exceed  twenty-four  (24)
months.


11.5 Allocation of Award.


     Except as provided in the second  sentence of this Section 11.5,  the total
Award shall be solely the  property of and payable to  Landlord.  Any portion of
the Award made for the taking of Tenant's  leasehold  interest in the applicable
Leased Property,  loss of business during the remainder of the Term, or Tenant's
removal  and  relocation  expe ses shall be the sole  property of and payable to
Tenant  (subject  to the  provisions  of  Section  11.2).  In  any  Condemnation
proceedings, Landlord

                                      -42-




and Tenant  shall  each seek its own Award in  conformity  herewith,  at its own
expense.



12

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

12.1 Events of Default.


     The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall  constitute
an "Event of Default" hereunder:


     (a) Tenant fails (i) to make any payment of the Rent payable hereunder when
     due and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the date
     due, or (ii) to make any  required  payments  of real  estate  taxes by the
     earlier  of (a) ten (10)  days  following  Notice from  Landlord  that such
     payment  is due and owing  and  unpaid,  and (b) the date  which is 30 days
     prior to the date on which a Government  Authority has the right to sell or
     initiate the process for selling the  applicable  Leased  Property due to a
     failure to pay the real  estate  taxes.  The  foregoing  provisions  hereof
     notwithstanding,  (x)  Tenant's  failure to pay  Additional  Rent shall not
     constitute  an Event of Default,  except if Tenant fails to pay  Additional
     Rent in at least the amount of the Allowance disbursed to date by Landlord,
     and (y) with  respect to the  failure to pay  Additional  Charges  that are
     amounts owed to third parties (other than real estate  taxes),  the failure
     to pay such amounts  shall not  constitute  an Event of Default  under this
     Section  12.1(a) if Tenant pays the same in full,  along with all interest,
     penalties  and late charges due and owing to such third  parties,  no later
     than ten (10) days following  Notice from Landlord that such sum is due and
     owing. In the event Landlord gives Notice of such  circumstances  to Tenant
     twice in any Lease Year, then on each subsequent occasion for the remainder
     of such Lease Year when Landlord gives Tenant any such Notice, Tenant shall
     pay to Landlord,  as  Additional  Charges  (whether or not Tenant pays such
     third party  within ten (10) days as  aforesaid),  the sum of One  Thousand
     Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500).


     (b) Tenant fails to maintain the insurance coverages required under Article
     9 within five (5) days after Notice thereof from Landlord.


     (c) Tenant  defaults in the due  observance  or  performance  of any of the
     terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be performed or observed
     by it (other  than as  specified  in clauses  (a) and (b)  above),  and, in
     either case, such default  continues for a period of thirty (30) days after
     Notice  thereof from Landlord to Tenant (provid d that no such Notice shall
     be required if Landlord  reasonably  determines  that  immediate  action is
     necessary to protect person or property);  provided,  however, that if such
     default is  susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be  accomplished  with
     due  diligence  within  such  period  of time and if, in  addition,  Tenant
     commences to cure such default within thirty (30) days after Notice thereof
     from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default with all
     due diligence, such period of time shall be extended to such period of time
     (not  to  exceed  an  additional  one  hundred  eighty  (180)  days  in the
     aggregate) as may be necessary

                                      -43-





     to cure such default with all due diligence.


     (d) Any obligation of Tenant in respect of any  Indebtedness in a principal
     amount in excess of  $10,000,000  for money  borrowed  or for the  deferred
     purchase price of any material property or services,  is declared to be, or
     is a result of acceleration  becomes,  due and payable  prior to the stated
     maturity thereof.


     (e) There occurs a final  unappealable  determination by applicable federal
     or State  authorities  of the  revocation  or  limitation  of any  license,
     permit,  certification,  certificate  of need or approval  required for the
     lawful  operation of any of the  Facilities in accordance  with its Primary
     Intended  Use  or  the  loss  or  limitation  of  any   license,   permit,
     certification,   certificate   of  need  or   approval   under   any  other
     circumstances under which Tenant is required to cease its operation of such
     Facility in  accordance  with its Primary  Intended Use at the time of such
     loss or limitation, provided, however, that if Tenant ceases its operations
     in such  Facility  pursuant  to and in  accordance  with its right to do so
     under  Section 4.5 hereof,  the closing  thereof  shall cause such Event of
     Default to be deemed no longer continuing.


     (f) Any  representation or warranty made by or on behalf of Tenant under or
     in connection  with this  Agreement,  or in any document,  certificate,  or
     agreement  delivered in  connection  herewith  proves to have been false or
     misleading in any material respect on the date when made or deemed made.


     (g) Tenant is generally  not paying its debts as they become due, or Tenant
     makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.


     (h) Any petition is filed by or against Tenant under the Federal bankruptcy
     laws, or any other proceeding is instituted by or against Tenant seeking to
     adjudicate   it  a  bankrupt   or   insolvent,   or  seeking   liquidation,
     reorganization,  arrangement,  adjustment or composition of it or its debts
     under any law  relating  to bank uptcy,  insolvency  or  reorganization  or
     relief of  debtors,  or  seeking  the  entry of an order for  relief or the
     appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for
     Tenant or for any  substantial  part of the  property  of  Tenant  and such
     proceeding  is not  dismissed  within  ninety  (90) days after  institution
     thereof,  or Tenant  takes any  action to  authorize  or effect  any of the
     actions set forth above in this paragraph.


     (i) Tenant causes or  institutes  any  proceeding  for its  dissolution  or
     termination.


     (j) subject to Section 4.5 hereof,  Tenant  voluntarily ceases operation of
     any of the Collective  Leased Properties for its Primary Intended Use for a
     period in excess of thirty  (30)  consecutive  days,  except as a result of
     damage, destruction or partial or complete Condemnation.


     (k) The  estate  or  interest  of Tenant  in any of the  Collective  Leased
     Properties or any

                                      -44-





     part thereof is levied upon or attached in any  proceeding  and the same is
     not  vacated or  discharged  within the later of (x) one hundred and twenty
     (120) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in dispute is less
     than  $100,000  in which case  Tenant  shall give notice to Landlord of the
     dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y) thirty (30) days
     after  receipt by Tenant of Notice  thereof from  Landlord  (unless  Tenant
     shall be  contesting  such lien or  attachment  in good faith in accordance
     with Article 8).


     (l) Any Change in Control of Tenant occurs.


         In  any  such  event,  Landlord,  in  addition  to all  other  remedies
available to it, may terminate  this  Agreement with respect to all but not less
than all of the Collective  Leased Properties by giving Notice thereof to Tenant
and upon  the  expiration  of the  time,  if any,  fixed  in such  Notice,  this
Agreement  shall  terminate and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement  shall
cease. Landlord shall have and may exercise all rights and remedies available at
law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of this Agreement.

     Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  Landlord may, in addition to
any other remedies provided herein,  enter upon the Collective Leased Properties
and take  possession of, and either (i) retain any and all of Tenant's  Personal
Property  on any  such  Leased  Property,  without  liability  for  trespass  or
conversion  (Tenant  hereby waiving any right to Notice or hearing prior to such
taking of  possession  by  Landlord)  or (ii) sell the same at public or private
sale, after giving Tenant  reasonable Notice of the time and place of any public
or private  sale,  at which sale Tenant or its assigns may  purchase  all or any
portion of Tenant's  Personal  Property.  Unless  otherwise  provided by law and
without  intending  to  exclude  any other  manner of giving  Tenant  reasonable
notice,  the  requirement  of  reasonable  Notice shall be met if such Notice is
given at least five (5) days before the date of sale. The proceeds from any such
disposition  shall  belong to  Landlord  and shall  not be  applied  as a credit
against the  indebtedness  which is secured by the security  interest granted in
Section 7.2.


     The foregoing  provisions  hereof  notwithstanding,  Landlord shall have no
right to assert any remedy hereunder, and an Event of Default shall be deemed to
no longer exist,  if Tenant cures an Event of Default (A) under Section  12.1(a)
prior to the earlier of (x) the  commencement by Landlord of the exercise of any
remedy  under this  Agreement  by  Landlord or (y)  Landlord's  Notice to Tenant
stating that an Event of Default exists and further stating Landlord's intention
to  assert  one or  more  remedies  hereunder;  and  (B)  under  any of  Section
12.(b)-(l),  prior to the commencement by Landlord of the exercise of any remedy
under this Agreement by Landlord.


12.2 Remedies.


     None of (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1, (b)
the  repossession  of the  Collective  Leased  Properties,  (c) the  failure  of
Landlord to re-let any or all of the Collective  Leased  Properties,  or (d) the
reletting of any or all of the Collective Leased Properties, shall relieve

                                      -45-





Tenant of its liability and  obligations  hereunder,  all of which shall survive
any such  termination,  repossession  or  re-letting.  In the  event of any such
termination,  Tenant  shall  forthwith  pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable
with respect to the Collective Leased Properties  through and including the date
of such termination.  Thereafter,  Tenant, until the end of what would have been
the Term of this  Agreement in the absence of such  termination,  and whether or
not any of the Collective  Leased  Properties or any portion  thereof shall have
been re-let,  shall be liable to Landlord  for,  and shall pay to  Landlord,  as
current damages, the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for
the  remainder  of the Term  had such  termination  not  occurred,  less the net
proceeds,  if any, of any re-letting of the Collective Leased Properties,  after
deducting all expenses in connection  with such  reletting,  including,  without
limitation,  all  repossession  costs,  brokerage  commissions,  legal expenses,
attorneys'  fees,  advertising,  expenses  of  employees,  alteration  costs and
expenses  of  preparation  for such  reletting.  Tenant  shall pay such  current
damages to  Landlord  monthly on the days on which the  Minimum  Rent would have
been payable hereunder if this Agreement had not been so terminated.


     At any time after such  termination,  whether  or not  Landlord  shall have
collected any such current damages,  as liquidated final damages beyond the date
of such termination, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord either
(a) an amount equal to the excess,  if any, of the Rent and other  charges which
would be payable hereunder from the date of such termination (assuming that, for
the  purposes  of this  paragraph,  annual  payments  by  Tenant on  account  of
Impositions would be the same as payments required for the immediately preceding
twelve  calendar  months,  or if less than twelve  calendar  months have expired
since the  Commencement  Date,  the  payments  required  for such lesser  period
projected to an annual amount) for what would be the then unexpired term of this
Agreement if the same  remained in effect,  over the Fair Market  Rental for the
same  period,  or (b) an  amount  equal to the  lesser of (i) the Rent and other
charges that would have been payable for the balance of the Term had it not been
terminated,  and (ii) the aggregate of the Rent and other charges accrued in the
twelve (12) months ended next prior to such termination  (without  reduction for
any free rent or other concession or abatement).  In the event this Agreement is
so terminated  prior to the  expiration of the first full year of the Term,  the
liquidated  damages  which  Landlord  may elect to  recover  pursuant  to clause
(b)(ii)  of this  paragraph  shall  be  calculated  as if such  termination  had
occurred on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove
and obtain in  proceedings  for  bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the
maximum  allowed by any  statute or rule of law in effect at the time when,  and
governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not
the  amount be  greater  than,  equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or
damages referred to above.


     In case of any Event of Default, re-entry,  expiration and dispossession by
summary  proceedings or otherwise,  Landlord may (a) relet any of the Collective
Leased  Properties or any part or parts thereof,  either in the name of Landlord
or otherwise,  for a term or terms which may, at Landlord's option, be equal to,
less than or exceed  the period  which  would  otherwise  have  constituted  the
balance of the Term and may grant  concessions  or free rent to the extent  that
Landlord  considers  advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) may make
such reasonable  alterations,  repairs and decorations in any applicable  Leased
Property or any portion thereof as

                                      -46-





Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable and necessary
for the purpose of reletting  any such Leased  Property;  and the making of such
alterations,  repairs  and  decorations  shall not  operate or be  construed  to
release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event
be liable in any way  whatsoever  for any failure to relet all or any portion of
the Collective  Leased  Properties,  or, in the event that any of the Collective
Leased  Properties  is  relet,  for  failure  to  collect  the rent  under  such
reletting.  To the maximum  extent  permitted by law,  Tenant  hereby  expressly
waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws
in the  event of  Tenant  being  evicted  or  dispossessed,  or in the  event of
Landlord  obtaining  possession of any of the Collective Leased  Properties,  by
reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this
Agreement.


12.3 Tenant's Waiver.


     IF THIS  AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED  PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2,  TENANT
WAIVES,  TO THE  EXTENT  PERMITTED  BY LAW,  ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN THE
EVENT OF SUMMARY  PROCEEDINGS  TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE
12 AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM
LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT.


12.4 Application of Funds.


     Any  payments  received by  Landlord  under any of the  provisions  of this
Agreement during the existence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default
(and any payment made to Landlord  rather than Tenant due to the existence o any
Default or Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's obligations under this
Agreement in such order as Landlord may determine or as may be prescribed by the
laws of the State.


12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default.


     If an Event of Default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing,  Landlord,
after Notice to Tenant  (which  Notice  shall not be required if Landlord  shall
reasonably  determine  immediate  action  is  necessary  to  protect  person  or
property),  without  waiving or releasing  any  obligation of Tenant and without
waiving or releasing any Event of Default,  may (but shall not be obligated to),
at any time  thereafter,  make such  payment or perform such act for the account
and at the expense of Tenant,  and may, to the maximum extent  permitted by law,
enter upon any of the Collective  Leased  Properties or any portion  thereof for
such  purpose  and take all such  action  thereon  as,  in  Landlord's  sole and
absolute  discretion,  may be necessary or appropriate  therefor,  including the
management  of the Facility  located  thereon by Landlord or its  designee,  and
Tenant hereby irrevocably  appoints,  in the event of such election by Landlord,
Landlord or its  designee as manager of any such  Facility  and its  attorney in
fact for such purpose,  irrevocably  and coupled with an interest,  in the name,
place and stead of Tenant.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant.
All reasonable costs and expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  reasonable
attorneys'  fees)  incurred by Landlord in connection  therewith,  together with
interest  thereon (to the extent  permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the
date such sums are paid by  Landlord  until  repaid,  shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord,

                                      -47-




on demand.


12.6 Landlord's Right to Assume Contracts.


     In the event  Landlord  elects to  terminate  this  Agreement  or otherwise
obtains  possession of the Collective  Leased  Properties  following an Event of
Default,  Landlord  (or its  designee)  shall  have the  right,  at its sole and
absolute discretion, upon Notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord
terminates this Agreement or otherwise obtains possession  following an Event of
Default,  to assume  all (but not less than all) of the  contracts  utilized  by
Tenant in the operation of its business,  including the Franchise Agreement, and
Tenant will  cooperate in effecting such  assumption.  In no event will Landlord
(or its designee)  have any liability  under such  contracts for  obligations or
liabilities  accruing under such contracts  prior to the date of such assumption
by such party.


13

                                  HOLDING OVER

     Any holding over by Tenant after the  expiration or sooner  termination  of
this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal
to two (2) times the  Minimum  Rent the in effect  plus  Additional  Charges and
other charges herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay
to Landlord  all damages  (direct or  indirect)  sustained by reason of any such
holding over. Otherwise,  such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, to the extent applicable.  Nothing contained herein
shall  constitute  the consent,  express or implied,  of Landlord to the holding
over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.



14

                               LANDLORD'S DEFAULT

     If Landlord  shall default in the  performance  or observance of any of its
covenants or  obligations  set forth in this  Agreement  and such default  shall
continue  for a period of thirty (30) ays after  Notice  thereof  from Tenant to
Landlord and any applicable Facility Mortgagee, or such additional period as may
be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of
a  "Landlord  Default"  by a second  Notice  to  Landlord  and to such  Facility
Mortgagee.  Thereafter,  Tenant may forthwith cure the same and,  subject to the
provisions of the following  paragraph,  invoice Landlord for costs and expenses
(including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and court costs)  incurred by Tenant in
curing the same,  together with interest thereon from the date Landlord receives
Tenant's  invoice,  at the Overdue Rate. Tenant shall have no right to terminate
this Agreement for any default by Landlord  hereunder and no right, for any such
default,  to  offset  or  counterclaim  against  any Rent or other  charges  due
hereunder.

                                      -48-





If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the  occurrence of any Landlord  Default
and Landlord,  before the expiration of the applicable  cure period,  shall give
Notice  thereof  to Tenant,  setting  forth,  in  reasonable  detail,  the basis
therefor,  no Landlord  Default  shall be deemed to have  occurred  and Landlord
shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse  determination
thereof.  If Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith,  to resolve any such
dispute  within ten (10) days after  Landlord's  Notice of  dispute,  either may
submit the matter for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction.


15


                               LANDLORD FINANCING

In the event that at any time during the Term,  OpCo, or any Subsidiary of OpCo,
shall elect to obtain financing for any health care related  facilities owned or
leased or to be owned or leased by OpCo, or such subsidiary, OpCo shall give (or
cause such  Subsidiary to give, as the case may be) Notice  thereof to Landlord,
which notice shall set forth in reasonable  detail the terms of such  financing,
shall  identify  the source  thereof and shall  include a copy of an  applicable
commitment letter.  Landlord shall have the right,  exercisable by the giving of
Notice to OpCo (or such Subsidiary,  as the case may be) within thirty (30) days
after such Notice from OpCo (or such Subsidiary, as the case may be), to provide
such financing on the same terms and conditions as described in the Notice given
to Landlord.  In the event that Landlord  shall  exercise such option,  OpCo (or
such Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall be obligated to obtain such financing
from Landlord on the terms and  conditions  set forth in the Notice to Landlord.
In the event that Landlord shall decline to provide such financing or shall fail
to give such Notice to OpCo (or such  Subsidiary,  as the case may be), OpCo (or
such Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall be free to obtain such financing from
the party  identified  in,  and on the terms and  conditions  set forth in,  the
Notice  given  to  Landlord  with  respect  thereto.  Notices  to  OpCo  and any
Subsidiary shall be given as if a Notice to Tenant.


16


                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

16.1 Subletting and Assignment.

     Except as  provided  in Sections  16.3 and 16.5  below,  Tenant  shall not,
without the prior  written  consent of Landlord  (which  consent may be given or
withheld  in its  sole  and  absolute  discretion),  assign,  mortgage,  pledge,
hypothecate,  encumber or otherwise  transfer this Agreement or sublease  (which
term shall be deemed to include the  granting of  concessions,  licenses and the
like), all or any part of the Collective  Leased  Properties or suffer or permit
this  Agreement  or the  leasehold  estate  created  hereby or any other  rights
arising under this Agreement to be assigned,  transferred,  mortgaged,  pledged,
hypothecated  or  encumbered,   in  whole  or  in  part,  whether   voluntarily,
involuntarily  or by  operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of any of
the

                                      -49-




Collective  Leased  Properties  by  anyone  other  than  Tenant,  or  any of the
Collective  Leased  Properties  to be offered or  advertised  for  assignment or
subletting.  For purposes of this Section 16.1, an assignment of this  Agreement
shall be deemed to include any Change in Control of Tenant.


     If this Agreement is assigned or if any of the Collective Leased Properties
or any part thereof are sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant and its
employees) in  contravention  of this Agreement,  Landlord may collect the rents
from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net
amount  collected to the Rent herein  reserved,  but no such collection shall be
deemed a waiver  of the  provisions  set forth in the  first  paragraph  of this
Section  16.1,  the  acceptance  by  Landlord  of such  assignee,  subtenant  or
occupant,  as the case may be, as a  tenant,  or a  release  of Tenant  from the
future  performance  by  Tenant  of its  covenants,  agreements  or  obligations
contained in this Agreement.


     No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing  primary
liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any subletting or assignment in
a  particular  instance  shall be deemed to be a waiver of the  prohibition  set
forth in this Section 16.1. No assignment,  subletting or occupancy shall affect
any Primary  Intended  Use.  Any  subletting,  assignment  or other  transfer of
Tenant's  interest  under this Agreement in  contravention  of this Section 16.1
shall be voidable at Landlord's option.


16.2 Required Sublease Provisions.


     Any  sublease  of all  or any  portion  of  any  of the  Collective  Leased
Properties  shall  provide  (a)  that  it is  subject  and  subordinate  to this
Agreement  and to the matters to which this  Agreement is or shall be subject or
subordinate;  (b) that in the event of  termination of this Agreement or reentry
or  dispossession  of Tenant by Landlord under this Agreement,  Landlord may, at
its option,  terminate  such  sublease or take over all of the right,  title and
interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease,  and such subtenant shall,
at  Landlord's  option,  attorn  to  Landlord  pursuant  to the  then  executory
provisions  of such  sublease,  except that  neither  Landlord  nor any Facility
Mortgagee,  as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Agreement, if such
mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (i) be liable for any act or omission
of Tenant  under such  sublease,  (ii) be subject to any  credit,  counterclaim,
offset or defense which  theretofore  accrued to such subtenant  against Tenant,
(iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to in
writing by Landlord or by any previous  prepayment  of more than one (1) month's
Rent,  (iv) be bound by any  covenant of Tenant to  undertake  or  complete  any
construction of such Leased Property or any portion thereof,  (v) be required to
account  for any  security  deposit of the  subtenant  other  than any  security
deposit  actually  delivered  to  Landlord  by  Tenant,  (vi)  be  bound  by any
obligation  to make any payment to such  subtenant or grant any credits,  except
for  services,  repairs,  maintenance  and  restoration  provided  for under the
sublease that are to be performed  after the date of such  attornment,  (vii) be
responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the credit of such  subtenant,  or
(viii) be required to remove any Person  occupying any portion of the Collective
Leased Properties;  and (c), in the event that such subtenant receives a written
Notice from Landlord or any Facility  Mortgagee stating that an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing,  such subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to
pay all rentals  accruing under such sublease  directly to the party giving such
Notice or

                                      -50-




as such party may direct.  All rentals  received from such subtenant by Landlord
or the Facility  Mortgagee,  as the case may be,  shall be credited  against the
amounts owing by Tenant under this  Agreement  and such  sublease  shall provide
that the  subtenant  thereunder  shall,  at the request of  Landlord,  execute a
suitable  instrument in  confirmation  of such agreement to attorn.  An original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and  assumption,  duly executed
by  Tenant  and such  subtenant  or  assignee,  as the case may be,  in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory to Landlord,  shall be delivered promptly to
Landlord upon request and (a) in the case of an  assignment,  the assignee shall
assume  in  writing  and  agree to keep  and  perform  all of the  terms of this
Agreement  on the part of Tenant  to be kept and  performed  and  shall be,  and
become, jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof and
(b) in case of either an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily
liable,  as principal rather than as surety,  for the prompt payment of the Rent
and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to
be performed by Tenant hereunder.


     The  provisions  of this  Section  16.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of the
provisions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1.


16.3 Permitted Assignments and Subleases.


     Notwithstanding  the requirements set forth in Section 16.1 that Landlord's
prior written consent be obtained in connection  with any assignment,  mortgage,
pledge,  encumbrance  or other  transfer of this Lease or any sublease of all or
any part of the Collective Leased  Properties,  but subject to the provisions of
Section 16.4 and any other express  conditions or limitations  set forth in this
Article 16, Tenant may, in each instance, (x) after Notice to Landlord, sublease
any or all of the Collective Leased Properties, or assign this Agreement, to any
Qualified  Affiliate  and (y)  sublease  space at any of the  Collective  Leased
Properties  for  laundry,  commissary,  child  care or  medical  office or other
purposes in furtherance of the applicable  Primary Intended Use, so long as such
sublease  will  not  violate  or  affect  any  Legal  Requirement  or  Insurance
Requirement,  and  Tenant  shall  provide  such  additional  insurance  coverage
applicable to the activities to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord
may  require.  In  connection  with any  sublease  of any  Leased  Property,  or
assignment of this Agreement,  any and all Facilities affected by or the subject
of such  transaction  shall  continue to be operated  under and  pursuant to the
Franchise  Agreement,  and Tenant  shall  provide  to  Landlord,  upon  request,
documentation  confirming that the operation  thereof,  in such manner,  has the
approval and consent of Franchisor.


16.4 Sublease Limitation.


     Anything  contained  in this  Agreement  to the  contrary  notwithstanding,
Tenant shall not sublet any of the  Collective  Leased  Properties  on any basis
such that all or any part of the Rent would fail to qualify as "rents  from real
property"  within the  meaning of Section  856(d) of the Code,  o any similar or
successor provision thereto.  This limitation shall include,  but not be limited
to, situations where (a) the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would
be based,  in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by the business
activities of such sublessee,  or (b) the sublessee would have a relationship to
Crescent Real Estate Equities, Inc., described in Section

                                      -51-




856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.


16.5 Tenant's Right to Mortgage its Leasehold.


     Tenant  may,  subject to  Article 15 and  Section  6.6  hereof,  assign its
interest  in  this  Agreement  to  a  Lending   Institution  as  collateral  for
Indebtedness,  provided,  however,  any  security  interests  in any property of
Tenant,  including  without  limitation  Tenant's  leasehold  interest  in  the
Collective Leased Properties,  shall be expressly and fully subordinated to this
Agreement and to the interest of Landlord in the  Collective  Leased  Properties
and to the rights of any then or thereafter existing Facility Mortgagee.


17

     Tenant shall permit Landlord and its authorized  representatives to inspect
the Collective  Leased Properties during usual business hours upon not less than
twenty-four  (24) hours' notice  (provided that no such notice shall be required
if Landlord shall reasonably  determine immediate action is necessary to protect
person or  property),  and to make such  repairs as  Landlord  is  permitted  or

inspection or repair by Landlord or its  representatives  will not  unreasonably
interfere with Tenant's use and operation of the applicable  Leased Property and
further provided that in the event of an emergency, as determined by Landlord in
its sole discretion, prior Notice shall not be necessary.


19


                                    APPRAISAL

     In the event that it becomes  necessary to determine  the Fair Market Value
or Fair Market Rental of any of the Collective Leased Properties for any purpose
of this Agreement and the parties  cannot agree thereon,  such Fair Market Value
or Fair Market Rental,  as the case may be, shall be determined upon the written
demand of either party in accordance with the following procedure.


     The party  requesting  an  appraisal,  by Notice given to the other,  shall
propose and  unilaterally  approve a Qualified  Appraiser.  The other party,  by
Notice given within  fifteen (15) days after  receipt of such Notice  appointing
the first Qualified Appraiser,  may appoint a second Qualified Appraiser. If the
other party fails to appoint the second Qualified  Appraiser within such fifteen
(15)-day  period,  such party shall have waived its right to appoint a Qualified
Appraiser,  the first  Qualified  Appraiser  shall  appoint  a second  Qualified
Appraiser within fifteen (15) days thereafter,

                                      -54-




and the Fair Market  Value or Fair Market  Rental,  as the case may be, shall be
determined by the Qualified Appraisers as set forth below.


     The two Qualified  Appraisers  shall  thereupon  endeavor to agree upon the
Fair  Market  Value  or Fair  Market  Rental,  as the  case  may be.  If the two
Qualified  Appraisers  so named cannot  agree upon such value or rental,  as the
case may be,  within thirty (30) days after the  designation  of the second such
appraiser,  each such appraiser shall, within five (5) days after the expiration
of such thirty (30)-day period, submit his appraisal of fair market value to the
other  appraiser  in writing,  and if the fair  market  values set forth in such
appraisals  vary by five  percent  (5%) or less of the greater  value,  the fair
market  value shall be  determined  by  calculating  the average of the two fair
market values determined by the two appraisers.


     If the fair market values set forth in the two appraisals vary by more than
five percent  (5%) of the greater  value,  the two  Qualified  Appraisers  shall
select a third  Qualified  Appraiser  within  an  additional  fifteen  (15) days
following  the  expiration  of the  aforesaid  five (5)-day  period.  If the two
appraisers are unable to agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser  within
such  fifteen  (15)-day  period,  either party may,  upon written  notice to the
other,  request  that  such  appointment  be  made  by the  then  President  (or
equivalent  officer) of the State's  Chapter of the  American  Institute of Real
Estate  Appraisers,  or his or her designee or, if there is no such organization
or if such individual declines to make such appointment, by any state or Federal
court of competent jurisdiction for the State.


     In the event that all three of the appraisers cannot agree upon Fair Market
Value or Fair  Market  Rental,  as the  case may be,  within  twenty  (20)  days
following the selection of the third appraiser, each appraiser shall, within ten
(10) days thereafter, submit his appraisal of fair market value to the other two
appraisers  in  writing,  and the  fair  market  value  shall be  determined  by
calculating the average of the two numerically closest values (or, if the values
are  equidistant,  the  average  of all three  values)  determined  by the three
appraisers.


     In the event that any appraiser  appointed  hereunder does not or is unable
to perform his or her  obligation  hereunder,  then the party or the  appraisers
appointing   such  appraiser  shall  have  the  right  to  propose  and  approve
unilaterally  a  substitute  Qualified  Appraiser,  but  if  the  party  or  the
appraisers who have the right to appoint a substitute  Qualified  Appraiser fail
to do so within  ten (10) days after  written  notice  from the other  party (or
either party in the event such appraiser was appointed by the other appraisers),
either party may, upon written notice to the party having the right to appoint a
substitute  Qualified  Appraiser,  request that such appointment be made by such
officer  of the  American  Institute  of Real  Estate  Appraisers  or  court  of
competent jurisdiction as described above;  provided,  however, that a party who
has the right to appoint an appraiser or a substitute  appraiser  shall have the
right to make such  appointment  only up until the time such appointment is made
by such officer or court.


     In  connection  with  the  appraisal  process,  Tenant  shall  provide  the
appraisers  full access during normal  business  hours to examine the applicable
Leased  Property,  the books,  records  and files of Tenant and all  agreements,
leases and other operating agreements relating to the applicable Leased

                                      -55-




Property.


     The costs (other than Landlord's counsel fees) of each such appraisal shall
be borne by Tenant and shall be included as part of the Additional Charges. Upon
determining such value, the appraisers shall promptly notify Landlord and Tenant
in  writing  of such  determination.  If any party  shall  fail to appear at the
hearings  appointed by the appraisers,  the appraisers may act in the absence of
such party.


     The  determination of the Qualified  Appraisers made in accordance with the
foregoing  provisions  shall  be  final  and  binding  upon  the  parties,  such
determination  may be entered as an award in arbitration in a court of competent
jurisdiction, and judgment thereon may be entered.


     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the parties
agree that the  Minimum  Rent for the Fixed Term  provided  for in Section  1.64
hereof shall not be evidence of the Fair Market  Rental for any  Extended  Term,
and (y) if  Minimum  Rent  for any  Extended  Term as  determined  by  appraisal
pursuant to this Article 19 is not satisfactory to Landlord,  in Landlord's sole
discretion,  or Franchisor  elects to void  Tenant's  extension of the Franchise
Agreement  with  respect  to  such  Extended  Term  pursuant  to  the  Franchise

                               FACILITY MORTGAGES

20.1 Landlord May Grant Liens.


     Without  the  consent of  Tenant,  Landlord  may,  subject to the terms and
conditions  set  forth in this  Section  20.1,  from time to time,  directly  or
indirectly,  create or otherwise cause to exist any lien,  encumbrance  or title
retention   agreement   ("Encumbrance")   upon  any  of  the  Collective  Leased
Properties,  or any portion thereof or interest  therein,  whether to secure any
borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing. Any such Encumbrance shall
include the right to prepay (whether or not subject to a prepayment penalty) and
shall  provide  (subject to Section 20.2 below) that it is subject to the rights
of Tenant under this Agreement.


20.2 Subordination of Lease.


     Subject  to  Section  20.1,  this  Agreement,  any and all rights of Tenant
hereunder,  are and shall be  subject  and  subordinate  to any ground or master
lease, and all renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements thereof, and
to all  mortgages  and deeds of trust,  which  may now or her after  affect  the
Collective Leased Properties, or any of them, or any improvements thereon and/or
any of such

                                      -56-




leases,  whether or not such  mortgages or deeds of trust shall also cover other
lands  and/or  buildings  and/or  leases,  to each  and  every  advance  made or
hereafter  to be made  under  such  mortgages  and  deeds of  trust,  and to all
renewals,  modifications,  replacements  and  extensions of such leases and such
mortgages and deeds of trust and all  consolidations of such mortgages and deeds
of trust.  This section  shall be  self-operative  and no further  instrument of
subordination  shall be required.  In  confirmation of such  subordination,  (i)
Tenant shall  promptly  execute,  acknowledge  and deliver any  instrument  that
Landlord,  the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or
the  trustee  or  beneficiary  of any deed of  trust or any of their  respective
successors in interest may  reasonably  request to evidence such  subordination,
and (ii) the lessor  under any such lease or the holder of any such  mortgage or
the trustee or  beneficiary  of any such deed of trust shall execute and deliver
to Tenant a Non-Disturbance  Agreement reasonably satisfactory to Tenant (taking
into account,  however,  the  reasonable  requirements  of the lessor or lender,
including a lender becoming such in connection  with a non-recourse  securitized
loan), including provisions with respect to insurance and casualty matters.


     Any lease to which this  Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and
subordinate is herein called "Superior Lease" and the lessor of a Superior Lease
or its successor in interest at the time referred to, is herein called "Superior
Landlord"  and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this  Agreement is, at the
time referred to, subject and subordinate,  is herein called "Superior Mortgage"
and the holder,  trustee or beneficiary of a Superior  Mortgage is herein called
"Superior Mortgagee."


     If any Superior  Landlord or Superior  Mortgagee or the nominee or designee
of any Superior  Landlord or Superior  Mortgagee  shall succeed to the rights of
Landlord  under this  Agreement  with  respect to one or more of the  Collective
Leased Properties,  whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery
of a new lease or deed,  or  otherwise,  then at the  request  of such  party so
succeeding to Landlord's  rights (herein called  "Successor  Landlord") and upon
such  Successor  Landlord's  written  agreement to accept  Tenant's  attornment,
Tenant  shall  attorn to and  recognize  such  Successor  Landlord  as  Tenant's
landlord  under this  Agreement  with  respect to one or more of the  Collective
Leased  Properties,  and shall promptly  execute and deliver any instrument that
such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon
such  attornment,  this  Agreement  shall continue in full force and effect as a
direct lease  between the  Successor  Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms,
conditions  and  covenants as are set forth in this  Agreement,  except that the
Successor  Landlord  (unless  formerly the landlord  under this Agreement or its
nominee or designee) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or
omission,  neglect or default on the part of Landlord under this Agreement,  (b)
responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to the credit of
Tenant,  (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which theretofore  accrued to
Tenant  against  Landlord,  (d)  bound  by any  modification  of this  Agreement
subsequent to such Superior Lease or Mortgage,  or by any previous prepayment of
Minimum  Rent or  Additional  Rent for more  than one (1)  month,  which was not
approved in writing by the Superior Landlord or the Superior  Mortgagee thereto,
(e) liable to Tenant beyond the Successor  Landlord's interest in the applicable
Leased Property and the rents, income,  receipts,  revenues,  issues and profits
issuing from such Leased  Property,  (f)  responsible for the performance of any
work to be done by the Landlord  under this  Agreement to render the  applicable
Leased

                                      -57-



Property  ready for  occupancy  by Tenant,  or (g) required to remove any Person
occupying the  applicable  Leased  Property or any part thereof,  except if such
person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord.  Tenant agrees at any
time and from time to time to execute a suitable  instrument in  confirmation of
Tenant's agreement to attorn, as aforesaid.


20.3 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Landlord.


     Subsequent  to the receipt by Tenant of notice from any Person that it is a
Facility  Mortgagee or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord,
as ground lessee,  which includes the applicable  Leased Property as part of the
demised premises,  no notice from Tenant to Landlord as to the applicable Leased
Property shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such
Facility  Mortgagee  or  ground  lessor,  and the  curing  of any of  Landlord's
defaults  by such  Facility  Mortgagee  or ground  lessor  shall be  treated  as
performance by Landlord.

                         ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF TENANT

21.1 Conduct of Business.


     Tenant shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew
and keep in full force and effect and in good standing its  corporate  existence
and its rights and licenses necessary to conduct such business.


21.2 Maintenance of Accounts and Records.


     Tenant  shall keep  records  and books of account in which  full,  true and
correct  entries  in  all  material  respects  will  be  made  of  dealings  and
transactions in relation o the business and affairs of Tenant.


21.3 Payments to Franchisor.


     All  payments by Tenant of  Franchise  Fees under the  Franchise  Agreement
shall be  subordinated to payments of Rent (other than  Non-Priority  Additional
Rent) due to Landlord to the extent and on the terms  provided in the  Franchise
Subordination Agreement,  and Tenant shall not make any payment of the Franchise
Fees,  directly or  indirectly,  or set apart any sum or property  therefor,  or
agree to do so, other than as permitted  in and by the  Franchise  Subordination
Agreement.



21.4 Management of Collective Leased Properties.


     Tenant  shall not enter  into any  Management  Agreement  unless  the terms
thereof have been previously approved in writing by Landlord, which approval may
be given or withheld in  Landlord's  sole and  absolute  discretion,  except for
Management Agreements between OpCo and a Facility

                                      -58-




Subsidiary.  All management  fees,  payments in connection with any extension of
credit and fees for services  provided in  connection  with the operation of the
applicable  Leased  Property,  payable by Tenant or any Affiliated  Person as to
Tenant shall be  subordinated to all of the obligations of Tenant due under this
Agreement pursuant to a Subordination  Agreement.  Tenant shall not agree to any
change in the  Manager of any of the  Collective  Leased  Properties  and/or any
Facility,  to any change in any Management  Agreement,  terminate any Management
Agreement or permit any Manager to assign any Management  Agreement  without the
prior written approval of Landlord in each instance, which approval may be given
or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Any Management Agreement
shall provide that Landlord shall be provided notice of any defaults  thereunder
and, at  Landlord's  option,  an  opportunity  to cure such  defaults  and shall
otherwise  be in form and  substance  satisfactory  to  Landlord in its sole and
absolute  discretion.  If Landlord shall cure any of Tenant's defaults under any
Management  Agreement,  the cost of such cure  shall be payable  upon  demand by
Tenant to Landlord  with  interest  accruing from the demand date at the Overdue
Rate and  Landlord  shall have the same rights and  remedies  for failure to pay
such costs on demand as for Tenant's  failure to pay Minimum Rent.  Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord any instrument requested by Landlord to implement the intent
of the foregoing provision.

21.5 Liens and Encumbrances.


     Except as permitted  by Sections  7.1 and 16.5,  Tenant shall not create or
incur or suffer to be created or incurred or to exist any Lien on this Agreement
or Tenant's ersonal Property now or at any time hereafter owned, other than:


     (a) Security interests securing the purchase price of equipment or personal
     property acquired after the Commencement Date; provided,  however, that (i)
     such Lien shall at all times be confined  solely to the asset in  question;
     and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by any such
     Lien  shall  not  excee  the cost of  acquisition  or  construction  of the
     property subject thereto; and


     (b) Permitted Encumbrances.


         22

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

22.1 Limitation on Payment of Rent.


     All  agreements  between  Landlord and Tenant  herein are hereby  expressly
limited  so that in no  contingency  or event  whatsoever,  whether by reason of
acceleration of Rent, or otherwise,  shall the Rent or any other amounts payable
to Landlord under this Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under applicable
law,  the benefit of which may be asserted by Tenant as a defense,  and if, from
any circumstance whatsoever,  fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at
the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve  transcending
the limit of validity  prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances  Landlord
should ever receive as fulfillment  of such provision such an excessive  amount,
then, ipso facto, the amount which would be excessive shall

                                      -59-




be applied to the reduction of the  installment(s)  of Minimum Rent next due and
not to the payment of such excessive amount.  This provision shall control every
other provision of this Agreement and any other agreements  between Landlord and
Tenant.


22.2 No Waiver.


     No failure by Landlord to insist  upon the strict  performance  of any term
hereof  or to  exercise  any  right,  power or  remedy  consequent upon a breach
thereof,  and no  acceptance  of full or  partial  payment  of Rent  during  the
continuance of any such breach,  shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or
of any such term.  To the  maximum  extent  permitted  by law,  no waiver of any
breach shall affect or alter this Agreement,  which shall continue in full force
and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.


22.3 Remedies Cumulative.


     To  the  maximum  extent  permitted  by  law,  each  legal,   equitable  or
contractual  right,  power and remedy of  Landlord,  now or  hereafter  provided
either in this  Agreement or by statute or otherwise,  shall be  cumulative  and
concurrent  and shall be in addition to every other right,  power and remedy and
the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of such
rights,  powers and remedies shall not preclude the  simultaneous  or subsequent
exercise by Landlord of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.


22.4 Severability.


     Any clause,  sentence,  paragraph,  section or provision of this  Agreement
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,  illegal or ineffective
shall not impair,  invalidate  or nullify the remainder of this  Agreement,  but
rather the effect thereof shall be confined to the clause, sentence,  paragraph,
section or provision  so held to be invalid,  illegal or  ineffective,  and this
Agreement  shall  be  construed  as if  such  invalid,  illegal  or  ineffective
provisions had never been contained therein.


22.5 Acceptance of Surrender.


     No  surrender  to Landlord of this  Agreement  or of any of the  Collective
Leased  Properties or any part  thereof,  or of any interest  therein,  shall be
valid or effective  unless  agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord and no
act by Landlord or any  representative  or agent of Landlord,  other than such a
written  acceptance  by Landlord,  shall  constitute  an  acceptance of any such
surrender.


22.6 No Merger of Title.


     It is  expressly  acknowledged  and  agreed  that it is the  intent  of the
parties  that there  shall be no merger of this  Agreement  or of the  leasehold
estate  created  hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may  acquire,
own or hold,  directly or  indirectly  this  Agreement or the  leasehold  estate
created  her by and the fee estate or ground  landlord's  interest in any of the
Collective Leased Properties.

                                      -60-





22.7 Conveyance by Landlord.


     If  Landlord  or any  successor  owner of all or any  portion of any of the
Collective  Leased  Properties shall convey all or any portion of the Collective
Leased Properties in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for
a  debt,  and the  grantee  or  transferee  of  such  of the  Collective  Leased
Properties shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord  hereunder arising
or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer,  Landlord or
such successor  owner,  as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all
future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with respect
to such of the Collective Leased  Properties  arising or accruing from and after
the date of such  conveyance or other  transfer and all such future  liabilities
and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.


22.8 Quiet Enjoyment.


     So long as  Tenant  shall  pay the Rent as the same  becomes  due and shall
comply  with all of the terms of this  Agreement,  Tenant  shall  peaceably  and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Collective Leased Properties for the Term, free
of hindrance or molestation by Landlord or anyone  claiming by, through or under
Landlord,  but  subject to (a) any  Encumbrance  permitted  under  Article 20 or
otherwise  permitted  to be created by  Landlord  hereunder,  (b) all  Permitted
Encumbrances,  (c) liens as to  obligations  of Landlord that are either not yet
due or which are being  contested in good faith and by proper  proceedings,  and
(d) liens that have been consented to in writing by Tenant.  Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement,  no failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing
covenant  shall give Tenant any right to cancel or terminate  this  Agreement or
abate,  reduce or make a deduction  from or offset against the Rent or any other
sum payable under this Agreement,  or to fail to perform any other obligation of
Tenant hereunder.


22.9 Landlord's Consent.


     Where  provision  is made in this  Agreement  for  Landlord's  consent  and
Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled
to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent, it being intended
that  Tenant's  sole  remedy  shall be an action  for  specific  performance  or
injunction,  and that such remedy shall be  available  only in those cases where
Landlord  has  expressly  agreed in writing not  unreasonably  to  withhold  its
consent.


22.10 Memorandum of Lease.


     Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Agreement.  However, Landlord
and Tenant  shall  promptly,  upon the request of the other,  enter into a short
form memorandum of this Agreement, in form suitable for recording under the laws
of the State in which  reference to this  Agreement,  and all options  contained
herein, shall be made. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of recording such
memorandum.

22.15 of Leased Properties.


     Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing  at
the time of exercise of the right  provided  for in this Section  22.15,  Tenant
shall have the right,  from time to time, to substitute for a Designated  Leased
Property another parcel of improved real property  meeting criteria  hereinafter
set  forth  and  otherwise   acceptable  to  Landlord  (the  "Substitute  Leased
Property").  If Tenant makes such election, Tenant shall give Notice to Landlord
of Tenant's intention  proposing a substitution  closing date (the "Substitution
Date") not less than sixty (60) days or more than one-hundred  twenty (120) days
from the date of such  Notice and  offering  to  Landlord a proposed  Substitute
Leased Property meeting the following  criteria:  the Substitute Leased Property
shall be improved with a Comparable Facility;  shall have a total value equal to
or greater than the total value of the  Designated  Leased  Property to Landlord
(each as reasonably  determined by Landlord);  shall be freely  transferable  to
Landlord unencumbered by any existing lease, mortgage, or other encumbrance; and
shall be subject to no other exceptions to title except

                                      -64-




those approved by Landlord,  which approval shall not be unreasonably  withheld.
Tenant shall convey the Substitute  Leased  Property to Landlord in exchange for
the  Designated  Leased  Property,  Landlord shall  simultaneously  exchange the
Designated Leased Property,  for the Substitute Leased Property, and the parties
shall  simultaneously  execute  and  deliver an  amendment  to this  Lease.  The
Landlord  shall have thirty (30) days  following  receipt of such Notice  within
which to accept or reject such offer;  provided,  however,  that Landlord  shall
have at least ten (10) days following receipt of any appraisal of the Substitute
Leased  Property  or the  Designated  Leased  Property  (or both)  requested  by
Landlord  within which to accept or reject such offer.  If Landlord  accepts the
proposed Substitute Leased Property,  the substitution shall proceed in a manner
(a) intended to qualify such  substitution as a "like-kind"  exchange within the
meaning of Section  1031 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the
"Code")  with  respect  to  Landlord,  and (b)  which  will  satisfy  Landlord's
requirements related to taxation as a real estate investment trust. Landlord may
demand,  at Tenant's  expense,  a  reasonably  acceptable  opinion of counsel or
private  letter ruling from the Internal  Revenue  Service  indicating  that the
substitution  will have no material adverse tax consequences to Landlord.  After
closing,  the Substitute  Leased  Property shall be deemed a Leased Property for
all  purposes.  Substitution  hereunder  and the  closing  shall  be made on the
following terms and shall be subject to the following conditions:


     (a) the Substitution Date, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
     Landlord  a  warranty  deed  in  the   customary   form  for  the  relevant
     jurisdiction conveying to Landlord,  free and clear of any title exceptions
     except  those  approved  by  Landlord  as set  forth  above,  title  to the
     Substitute  Leased  Property,  and Landlord shall  simultaneously  execute,
     acknowledge and deliver to Tenant a warranty deed conveying to Tenant, free
     and clear of title  exceptions,  except  Permitted  Encumbrances  and those
     approved  by  Tenant  (based  on the  same  criteria  for  approval  as for
     Landlord), title to the Designated Leased Property; provided, however, that
     in no event shall  Landlord  have any  obligation  to cure or remove  title
     exceptions affecting the Designated Leased Property, Tenant's only recourse
     being  to  designate  an  alternative   Designated   Leased   Property  for
     substitution  or  to  rescind  its  Notice  of  election  to  substitute  a
     Substitute Leased Property.


     (b) or prior to the  Substitution  Date,  Landlord  and  Tenant  shall have
     executed,  acknowledged  and  delivered  an  amendment  to this  Lease (the
     "Amendment  to Lease") (the Lease,  as amended,  herein  referred to as the
     "Amended  Lease")  which  shall  provide  for  the  deletion  of the  legal
     description of the Designated  Leased Property and the  substitution of the
     legal description of the Substitute Leased Property therefor.


     (c) shall have  provided  Landlord,  at  Tenant's  sole cost,  with a title
     insurance policy satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord,  effective
     on the date of  exchange,  covering  the  Substitute  Leased  Property  and
     containing no exceptions to title to the Substitute  Leased  Property other
     than encumbrances  approved by Landlord as provided herein, and having such
     affirmative insurance and endorsements as may be required by Landlord.


     (d) shall have provided Landlord with representations and warranties with

                                      -65-




     respect  to the  Substitute  Leased  Property  reasonably  satisfactory  to
     Landlord (unless otherwise  reasonably  required,  generally similar to the
     representations  and  warranties  contained  in Section 6.1 of that certain
     Real Estate  Purchase and Sale  Agreement  dated as of January 29, 1997, as
     amended through the date hereof by and between  Magellan  Health  Services,
     Inc., as seller,  and Crescent Real Estate  Equities  Limited  Partnership,
     predecessor   in  interest  of  Landlord,   as  purchaser   (the  "Purchase
     Agreement")), such representations and warranties shall survive the closing
     and  Landlord  shall  have the same  remedies  for  breach  thereof  as are
     provided for in the Purchase Agreement.


     (e) shall provide  Landlord  with  documentation  satisfactory  to Landlord
     confirming  that  Tenant has the right to  operate  the  Substitute  Leased
     Property in accordance with the Primary Intended Use and under and pursuant
     to the Franchise Agreement.


     (f) shall reimburse Landlord,  as Additional Charges, for any and all costs
     and  expenses  incurred  by  Landlord,   including  Landlord's   reasonable
     attorneys'  fees, in effecting the  substitution  proposed  (whether or not
     closing occurs).


     Landlord  and  Tenant  hereby  covenant  that once the  Notice of intent to
substitute  a Substitute  Leased  Property for the  Designated  Leased  Property
described  therein has been delivered and Landlord accepts the Substitute Leased
Property  identified  therein,  each party will  promptly  perform  all acts and
deliver all  documents  required on its part to be  delivered  or to satisfy the
conditions of closing set forth herein.  In the event that the Substitute Leased
Property has not been exchanged for the Designated Leased Property within thirty
(30) days  after the  Substitution  Date  specified  in  Tenant's  Notice of its
intention to  substitute  by reason of the acts or omissions of one party,  then
the  other  party  shall  have  the  right  to  elect  not to  proceed  with the
substitution.


     Tenant  covenants  that,  following  the  closing  of the  exchange  of the
Substitute  Leased Property,  neither it nor any of its Affiliated  Persons will
use the Designated  Leased  Property as a facility having as its primary use the
Primary Intended Use for at least one year after the Substitution Date.


22.16 Broker.


     Each party  hereby  represents  and  warrants  to the other that it has not
engaged,  dealt with or otherwise  discussed this  transaction  with any broker,
agent or finder. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from
and against any claim  arising out of a breach of the  foregoing  agreement  and
representation and warranty.


22.17  Confidentiality.


     Landlord shall  maintain the  confidentiality  of  information  provided by
Tenant  pursuant  to  Sections  17.2 and 17.3  hereof or  otherwise  under  this
Agreement.  Landlord may,  however,  disclose such information to its attorneys,
consultants,  partners,  directors,  officers  and  employees,  and  lenders and
purchasers  (actual and  potential).  As a condition of such  disclosure  to any
lender or purchaser

                                      -66-




(actual or potential),  such lender or purchaser shall be obligated to execute a
Confidentiality  Agreement reasonably  satisfactory to Tenant. The provisions of
this Section 22.18 shall not be applicable to disclosure of information required
by applicable law, rule or regulation or the order of any court.




IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  parties  have  executed  this  Agreement  as a sealed
instrument as of the date above first written.
