          (c) Adjustment to Minimum Rent During Initial Term. The minimum
              ----------------------------------------------             
monthly rent for the Second, Third and Fourth Thirty Month Periods shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:


                  (1) Second Thirty Month Period.  If the Percentage Increase
                      --------------------------
of Index on the Adjustment Date, that is, February 1, 1991, shall be 10% or
greater, then the monthly rent for the Second Thirty Month period shall be
$28,350 per month, which is an increase of 5% above the monthly rent for the
First Thirty Month Period. In no event shall the monthly rent for the Second
Thirty Month Period be less than $27,900.

                      -------------------------
Index on the Adjustment Date, that is, August 1, 1993, shall be 12% or greater,
then, the monthly rent for the Third Thirty Month Period shall be an amount
equal to the sum of the minimum monthly rent for the second thirty month period,
as adjusted in accordance with Paragraph 4.2(c)(l), plus 6% of said amount. In
no event shall the monthly rent for Third Thirty Month Period be less than
$29,100 per month.

as adjusted in accordance with Paragraph 4.2(c)(2) above, plus an amount equal
to 7% of said amount. In no event shall the monthly rent for the Fourth Thirty
Month Period be less than $30,600 per month.

              (d) Fifth Thirty Month Period (Extended Term) The minimum monthly
                  -----------------------------------------
rent for the Fifth Thirty Month Period, (from August 1, 1998 to January 31,
2001), shall be an amount equal to the sum of the minimum monthly rent for the
Fourth Thirty Month Period, as adjusted pursuant to paragraph 4.2(c)(3) above,
plus the greater of:

                  (1) One half of the Percentage Increase of Index on the
Adjustment Date, that is, August 1, 1998 multiplied by said minimum monthly rent
for the Fourth Thirty Month Period, as adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 4.2(c);
or,

                  (2) $2,400.

              (e) Sixth Thirty Month Period (Extended Term). The minimum monthly

Month Period, as determined pursuant to paragraph 4.2(d) above, plus the greater
of:

                  (1) One-half of the percentage Increase of Index on the
Adjustment Date, that is, February 1, 2001,

                                       7

 
multiplied by said minimum monthly rent for the Fifth Thirty Month Period as
determined pursuant to paragraph 4.2(d) above; or

                  (2) $3,000.

(i)   27,000 x 5% = 1,350 + 27,000 = 28,350

(ii)  28,350 x 6% = 1,701 + 28,350 = 30,051

(iii) Percentage increase of Index less than 14% - minimum monthly rent
      applies.

(iv)  Adjusted monthly rent for Fourth Thirty Month Period plus $2,400 = 30,600
+ 2,400 = 33,000, which is greater than adjusted monthly rent for Fourth Thirty
Month Period plus 1/2 Percentage Increase of Index:  $30,600 + (5% x 30,600) =
32,130

(v)  Adjusted monthly rent for Fifth Thirty Month Period plus 1/2 Percentage
Increase of Index = 33,000 + (10% x 33,000) = 36,300, which is greater than
adjusted monthly rent for Fifth Thirty Month Period plus $3,000: 33,000 + 3,000
= 36,000.

for the protection of property pending the completion of permanent restoration,
repair, replacement, rebuilding, or a1teration to the LEASED PROPERTY, and shall
be paid out, as hereinafter provided, from time to time, as such work
progresses, upon the written request of TENANT, which shall be accompanied by
the following:

          (i)  A certificate of the architect, engineer, or licensed building

being made the basis for any other request for payment. Such certificate shall
state also that except for the amounts listed therein, there is no outstanding

LEASED PROPERTY, or any part thereof.

          (ii) An affidavit sworn to by TENANT that all materials and all

to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 16.3, LESSOR shall request such
holder, beneficiary or mortgagee to pay, out of such insurance money to the
persons named in such certificate, the respective amounts stated in such
certificate to be due to them, or shall pay to the TENANT the amount stated in
such certificate to have been paid by TENANT; provided, however, that such
payments shall not exceed in amount the fair value of the relevant work as
stated in such certificate.

required with respect to the correcting of said default.

TENANT, or the sale of at least 51% of the value of the assets of the corporate
TENANT, shall be deemed an assignment requiring the prior written consent

                                      38

 
of LESSOR. The phrase "controlling percentage" means the ownership of, and the
right to vote, stock possessing at least 51% of the total combined voting power
of all classes of the corporate TENANT'S capital stock issued, outstanding, and
entitled to vote for the election of directors. Any change in the controlling
percentage shall also be deemed an assignment requiring LESSOR'S prior written
consent. If any TENANT is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary,
involuntary or by operation of law, of the partners owning 51% or more of the
partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership shall be deemed an assignment
requiring LESSOR'S prior written consent.

     22.4.  TENANT shall have the right, without LESSOR'S prior written consent,
to assign this Lease or to sublet the LEASED PROPERTY to a corporation of which
ROBERT SNUKAL is the owner of at least 51% of the outstanding capital stock
provided that the corporation executes an agreement required by LESSOR assuming
TENANT'S obligations under this Lease and that LESSOR is notified not less than
thirty days prior to such assignment or subletting.

     22.5.  A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation, or use by
another person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment,
subletting, occupation, or use by the same or another person. Any such
assignment or subletting and/or any attempted such assignment or subletting
without such written consent of LESSOR shall be void and shall be a non-curable
default under this Lease, and LESSOR may, at its option, terminate this Lease
upon three (3) days, written notice to TENANT at any time after such actual or
attempted assignment or subletting and without regard to TENANT'S prior
knowledge

                                      39

 
thereof. 

23.  INVOLUNTARY ASSIGNMENT
     ----------------------

     23.1.  No interest of TENANT in this Lease shall be assignable by operation
of law (including, without limitation, the transfer of this Lease by will or
intestacy) . Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary
assignment:

          (a)  If TENANT is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes a proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Act in which TENANT is the bankrupt, or an involuntary proceeding is
brought against TENANT under the Bankruptcy Act; or, if TENANT is a partnership
or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership
or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors;

          (b)  If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease;

          (c)  If, in any proceeding or action to which TENANT is a party, a
receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the LEASED PROPERTY
or any part thereof;

          (d)  If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on the LEASED
PROPERTY or any part thereof, TENANT shall have thirty (30) days in which to
cause the attachment or execution to be removed. If any involuntary proceeding
in bankruptcy is brought against TENANT, or if a receiver is appointed, TENANT
cure shall have sixty (60) days in which to have the involuntary proceeding
dismissed or the receiver removed.

     23.2.  Except as provided in paragraph 23.3 an involuntary assignment shall
constitute a material default by TENANT under

                                      40

 
this Lease, and LESSOR shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in
which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of TENANT. Such right to
terminate this Lease shall be in addition to and cumulative with such other
rights and remedies that LESSOR may have hereunder or as may now be or hereafter
provided by law.

     23.3.  The death of both ROBERT SNUKAL and SHEILA SNUKAL and the transfer
of their interest in this Lease by will or intestacy (except a transfer by the
estate of one of them to the survivor of them) shall be an involuntary
assignment of this Lease, but shall not be a default hereunder. In the event of
the death of both ROBERT SNUKAL and SHEILA SNUKAL this Lease shall not be
treated as an asset of such TENANTS and LESSOR shall have the right to elect to
terminate this Lease within sixty (60) days after receipt by LESSOR of written
notice of the death of both ROBERT SNUKAL and SHEILA SNUKAL without further
liability by TENANTS.

     24.  DEFAULT
          -------

          24.1.  TENANT'S Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall
                 ----------------
constitute a default by TENANT:

                    (a)  Failure to pay rent, additional rent or any other sum
or sums payable by TENANT hereunder when due, if the failure continues for three
(3) days after notice has been given to TENANT.

                    (b)  Abandonment and vacation of the REAL PROPERTY or the
PERSONAL PROPERTY. 

                    (c)  Failure to perform any other provision of this Lease
if the failure to perform is not cured within ten (10)

                                      41

 
days after notice has been given to TENANT. Provided, that if the default is
under Article 16.2 hereof and such default cannot reasonably be cured within ten
(10) days, TENANT shall not be in default of this Lease if TENANT commences to
the default within the ten (10) day period and diligently and in good faith
continues to cure the default.

          24.2.  LESSOR'S Remedies. In the event of a default by TENANT under
this Lease, LESSOR shall have the following remedies, these remedies are not
exclusive; they are cumulative and are in addition to any remedies now or later
allowed by law and in addition to any other rights and remedies of LESSOR under
any provision of this Lease:

          (a)  Re-Entry Without Termination. LESSOR shall have the immediate
right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the REAL
PROPERTY; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of TENANT.

               (i)  Should LESSOR elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or
should he take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any
notice provided for by law, LESSOR may either terminate this Lease or LESSOR may
from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the REAL PROPERTY
and/or the PERSONAL PROPERTY, or any part thereof, for such term or terms
(which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such
rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as LESSOR in his sole
discretion may deem advisable with the right to make repairs to said REAL
PROPERTY and PERSONAL PROPERTY; upon each such re-letting

                                      42

 
               (ii) TENANT shall be liable immediately to pay to LESSOR:

                    (aa)  All costs LESSOR incurs in reletting the LEASED
PROPERTY, including, without limitation, broker's commissions, expenses of
remodeling the LEASED PROPERTY required by the reletting, expenses of repairing
the LEASED PROPERTY and like costs. Reletting can be for a period shorter or
longer than the remaining terms of this Lease; and

                    (bb)  The amount, if any, by which the rent, additional
rent and all other sums reserved in this Lease from the period of such re-
letting (up to but not beyond the term of this Lease) exceeds the amount agreed
to be paid as rent for the LEASED PROPERTY for such reletting, payable monthly;
or

                    (iii) At the option of LESSOR, rents received by such
LESSOR from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any
indebtedness, other than rent due hereunder from TENANT to LESSOR; second, to
the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and of such repairs;
third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any,
shall be held by LESSOR and applied in payment of future rent as the same may
become due and payable hereunder.

                    (iv)  If TENANT has been credited with any rent to be
received by such reletting under this paragraph 24 and such rent shall not be
promptly paid to LESSOR by the new tenant, or if such rentals received from
such reletting under this paragraph 24.2 during any month be less than that to
be paid during that month by TENANT hereunder, TENANT shall pay any such

                                      43

 
deficiency to LESSOR. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.

                    (v)  No such re-entry or taking possession of said Premises
by LESSOR shall be construed as an election on LESSOR'S part to terminate this
Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to TENANT or unless the
termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, LESSOR may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach and such re-
entry by LESSOR.

               (b)  Termination.  LESSOR may terminate this Lease and TENANT'S
                    -----------                                               
right to possession of the LEASED PROPERTY, or any part thereof, at any time.
No act by LESSOR other than giving written notice to TENANT shall terminate this
Lease.  Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the LEASED PROPERTY, or the
appointment of a receiver on LESSOR'S initiative to protect LESSOR'S interest
under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of TENANT'S right to
possession.  On termination, LESSOR has the right to recover from TENANT:

               (i)  The worth, at the time of the award of the unpaid rent that
had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;

                    (ii)  The worth, at the time of the award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination
of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent
that TENANT proves could have been reasonably avoided;

                    (iii) The worth, at the time of the award, of

                                      44

 
the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time
of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that TENANT proves could have
been reasonably avoided; and

                    (iv) Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to
compensate LESSOR for all detriment proximately caused by TENANT'S default.

                    (v)  "The worth, at the time of the award," as used in
subparagraph (b)(i) and (b)(ii) of this paragraph 24.2, is to be computed by
allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. "The worth, at the
time of the award," as referred to in subparagraph (b) (iii) of this paragraph
24.2, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one
percent (1%).

               (c)  Receiver. LESSOR shall have the right to have a receiver
                    --------
appointed to collect rent and conduct TENANT'S business. If a receiver be
appointed at the instance of LESSOR in any action against TENANT to take
possession of said Premises and/or to collect the rents or profits derived
therefrom, the receiver may, if it be necessary or convenient in order to
collect such rents and profits, conduct the business of TENANT then being
carried on at the REAL PROPERTY and may take possession of any personal
property belonging to TENANT and used in the conduct of such business, and may
use the same in conducting such business at the REAL PROPERTY without
compensation of TENANT for such use. Neither the application for the
appointment of such receiver, nor the appointment of such a receiver, shall be
construed as an election on LESSOR,S part to

                                      45

 
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to
TENANT.

          (d)  Cure at TENANT'S Expense.   LESSOR can cure any default at
               ------------------------                                  
TENANT'S cost. If LESSOR at any time, by reason of TENANT'S default, pays any
sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by LESSOR
shall be due immediately from TENANT to LESSOR at the time the sum is paid, and
if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum from the date the sum is paid by LESSOR until LESSOR is reimbursed by
TENANT. The sum, together, with interest on it, shall be additional rent.

25.  INTEREST ON UNPAID RENT OR OTHER SUMS DUE.
     ----------------------------------------- 

     Rent or other sums due hereunder from TENANT to LESSOR, not paid when due
shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date due
until paid.

26.  LATE CHARGES AND OTHER COSTS
     ----------------------------

     TENANT acknowledges that late payment by TENANT to LESSOR of rent will
cause TENANT to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs include,
without limitation, such things as processing and accounting charges, late
charges, foreclosure costs and other such costs that may be imposed on LESSOR by
the terms of any encumbrance, or note secured by an encumbrance covering the
LEASED PROPERTY or any part thereof. Therefore, if any installment of rent due
from TENANT is not received by LESSOR when due, TENANT shall pay to LESSOR all
obligations, losses, costs, or expenses charged to or incurred by LESSOR with
respect to debts, charges, fees, permits, liens, expenses or encumbrances
relating to the LEASED PROPERTY or any part thereof. Such sum

                                      46

 
shall be paid within three (3) days after written notice given to TENANT by
LESSOR.

27.  LESSOR'S DEFAULT
     ----------------

     Provided that TENANT has then paid all rent or other sums required to be
paid by it and in the event any mortgagee or beneficiary of any note secured by
deed of trust or mortgage, on the REAL PROPERTY or any part thereof shall
commence foreclosure proceedings as a result of LESSOR'S wrongful failure to
make any interest or principal payment due thereunder, then and in such event
TENANT shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such sum as may be
required to bring such indebtedness current and to pay any foreclosure costs in
connection therewith, and to set off the amount so paid against the next ensuing
installments of fixed rent due from TENANT to LESSOR. Thereafter, all such rent
shall be paid directly to LESSOR.

28.  CONDEMNATION
     ------------

     28.1.   If any part of the REAL PROPERTY shall be taken or condemned for a
public or quasi-public use, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of
occupation hereunder, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of
the date title shall vest in the condemnor, and the rent payable hereunder shall
be adjusted so that the TENANT shall be required to pay for the remainder of the
term only such portion of such rent as the value of the part remaining after
the condemnation bears to the value of the entire REAL PROPERTY at the date of
condemnation; but in the event the remainder is so diminished so that the
economic feasibility of operating the facility is unreasonably diminished as to
TENANT, either LESSOR or TENANT shall have the option to

                                      47

 
terminate this Lease as of the date when title to the part so condemned vests in
the condemnor by written notice to the other within ten (10) days after title
vests in the condemnor.

     28.2.  If all the Demised Premises, or such part thereof be taken or
condemned so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation
hereunder, as hereinabove described, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. If a
part or all of the REAL PROPERTY be taken or condemned, all compensation awarded
upon such condemnation or taking which does not relate to TENANT'S personal
property shall go to the LESSOR, and the TENANT shall have no claim thereto, and
the TENANT hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to the LESSOR any right to
compensation or damages to which the TENANT may become entitled during the term
hereof by reason of the condemnation of all, or a part of the REAL PROPERTY.

     28.3.  Each party waives the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the superior court to
terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the REAL PROPERTY.

29.  FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF TENANT
     -----------------------------

     As a further condition to the execution of this Lease by LESSOR to TENANT,
TENANT agrees that it shall submit to LESSOR or cause to be submitted to LESSOR,
the most recent financial statement (not more than one year old) of the
operation of TENANT or any person or entity holding under or through it, and of
HOSPITAL FACILITY which shall be submitted within five (5) days after written
request therefor given (a) after a default under the Lease, or (b) in connection
with an attempt to finance or

                                      48

 
refinance the LEASED PROPERTY or any part thereof by LESSOR. Such financial
statement shall be certified by TENANT to be true and correct to the best of
its knowledge. Said financial statements shall include at the very least, the
following:

     29.1.  A balance sheet as of the day of said financial statement; and

     29.2.  A profit and loss statement for each period of operation of TENANT
and facility.

30.  BINDING ON SUCCESSORS
     ---------------------

     The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the
provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind and inure to the benefit of the
heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties
hereto; and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable
hereunder.

31.  HOLDING OVER
     ------------

     Any holding over after the expiration of the term, or any extended term
without the written consent of LESSOR, shall be construed to be a tenancy from
month to month, at a monthly rental of a sum equal to fifty percent, (50%)
greater than the highest monthly rent due at any time during the Lease and shall
otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable.

32.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
     --------------------

     32.1.  TENANT shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days, prior
written notice from LESSOR execute, acknowledge and deliver to LESSOR a
statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if

                                      49

 
modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the
rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that
there are not, to TENANT'S knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of LESSOR
hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement
may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of
the LEASED PROPERTY.

     32.2.  TENANT'S failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon TENANT (a) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by LESSOR, (b) that there are no
uncured defaults in LESSOR'S performance. 


     32.3   If LESSOR desires to finance or refinance the LEASED PROPERTY, or
any part thereof, TENANT hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated by
LESSOR such financial statements of TENANT as may be reasonably required by
such lender. Such statements shall include the past three (3) year's financial
statements of TENANT. All such financial statements shall be received by
LESSOR in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

33.  SUBORDINATION
     -------------

     33.1.  This Lease is and shall be subordinate to any encumbrance now of
record or recorded after the date of this Lease affecting the REAL PROPERTY.
Such subordination is effective without any further act of TENANT. TENANT shall
from time to time on request from LESSOR execute and deliver any documents or
instruments that may be required by a lender to

                                      50

 
effectuate any subordination. If LESSOR fails to execute and deliver any such
documents or instruments, TENANT irrevocably constitutes and appoints LESSOR as
TENANT'S special attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such documents or
instruments.

     33.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 33, with
respect to encumbrances recorded after the date of this Lease, LESSOR shall as a
condition to such subordination obtain a written agreement from the lender under
such encumbrance that provides substantially the following:

               "As long as TENANT performs its obligations under this Lease, no
foreclosure of, deed given in lieu of foreclosure of, or sale under the
encumbrance, and no steps or procedures taken under the encumbrance, shall
affect TENANT,S rights under this LEASE."

TENANT shall attorn to any purchaser at any foreclosure sale, or to any grantee
or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure. TENANT shall
execute the written agreement and any other documents required by the lender to
accomplish the purposes of this Article.

34.  COVENANT OF AUTHORITY AND QUIET POSSESSION LESSOR covenants and warrants
     ------------------------------------------
that LESSOR has full right and lawful authority to enter into this Lease for the
full term aforesaid, and that subject to the terms of this Lease, TENANT upon
full performance of each and every provision hereof shall peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the LEASED PROPERTY throughout the leased term and any
extensions thereof, without any disturbance from the LESSOR or from any person
claiming through the LESSOR. TENANT may at its own expense obtain a policy of
leasehold title

                                      51

 
insurance, which policy shall show that LESSOR is the owner of the REAL
PROPERTY.

35.  WAIVER
     ------

     35.1.  No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of
LESSOR shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver by
LESSOR.

     35.2.  The receipt and acceptance by LESSOR of any rent or other sum due
LESSOR hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default by
TENANT; it shall constitute only a waiver of timely payment for the particular
rent or other sum payable involved regardless of LESSOR'S knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent or other sum.

     35.3.  No act or conduct of LESSOR, including, without limitation, the
acceptance of the keys to the REAL PROPERTY, shall constitute an acceptance of
the surrender of the LEASED PROPERTY, or any part thereof, by TENANT before the
expiration of the term. Only a notice from LESSOR to TENANT shall constitute
acceptance of the surrender of the LEASED PROPERTY and accomplish a termination
of the Lease.

     35.4.  LESSOR'S consent to or approval of any act by TENANT requiring
LESSOR'S consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
LESSOR,S consent to or approval of any subsequent act by TENANT.

     35.5.  Any waiver by LESSOR of any default, or breach by TENANT must be in
writing and shall not be a waiver of any other breach or default concerning the
same or any other provision of the Lease.

                                      52

 
36.  ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
     ----------------------------

     TENANT shall upon execution of this Lease execute, acknowledge and deliver
to LESSOR an absolute assignment of rents in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT
"5".

37.  OPTION TO EXTEND
     -----------------

     37.1.  Provided that TENANT has not, on more than three occasions during
the term hereof, and, is not then in breach or in default of its obligation to
pay rent, additional rent or any other sum payable by TENANT under this Lease or
in material breach or default under any of the other terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease, TENANT may extend the term of this Lease for one (1)
additional five (5) year period ("Extended Term") from and after the end of the
initial term of this Lease by giving written notice to LESSOR at least one (1)
year, but not more than two (2) years prior to the expiration of the original
term. Provided, further, that if TENANT is delinquent in the payment of any
rent, additional rent or other amount payable under this Lease or is in material
breach or default under this Lease at any time after giving such notice, the
Extended Term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the
initial term.

     37.2.  TENANT shall have no other right to extend the term of this Lease.

     37.3.  The Extended Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as the
initial term of this Lease except that the minimum monthly rent and adjustments
thereto for the extended term shall be payable in monthly installments
determined in accordance with paragraphs 4.2(d) and (e) above.

                                      53

 
38.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE LEASED PROPERTY
     --------------------------------------------------

     Provided that TENANT is not then in breach or default under any of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this LEASE and has not been in material
breach or default on more than three (3) occasions during the term of this
Lease, TENANT is hereby given and shall have a right of first refusal to
purchase the LEASED PROPERTY (the Real Property described in EXHIBITS 1 and the
Personal Property described in EXHIBIT 2) on the following terms and conditions:

     38.1.  In the event LESSOR receives a bona fide written offer to purchase
all of the LEASED PROPERTY from a prospective purchaser, which bona fide offer
LESSOR desires to accept, LESSOR shall give written notice thereof, together
with full and complete copies of all such offers to TENANT.

     38.2.  Upon receipt of said written notice, TENANT shall have the option to
purchase the LEASED PROPERTY for the price and upon the same terms and
conditions as said bona fide offer, except as otherwise provided herein.

     38.3.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, TENANT shall not
have the right of first refusal or option to purchase the REAL PROPERTY in the
event of a sale or transfer of the REAL PROPERTY or any part thereof among
LESSOR, any partner of LESSOR, (hereinafter collectively, "Beneficial
Owner(s)"), any other Beneficial owner, spouse of a Beneficial Owner, descendant
of a Beneficial Owner, spouse of a descendant of a Beneficial Owner or any
corporation, partnership or trust, the shares or beneficial interest of which is
owned by any of the foregoing persons or entities.

 
     38.4.  Said option shall be exercised by: (i) giving written notice to
LESSOR of such desire to exercise the option to purchase within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of the written notice giving rise to the option, and (ii) the
preparation and execution of the escrow instructions at City National Bank,
Beverly Hills, by TENANT no later than ten (10) days after exercise of such
option, which escrow instructions shall provide for closing thereof within the
time specified in the offer of the bona fide purchaser or ninety (90) days after
the giving of the original notice by LESSOR, whichever is later. The initial
cash down payment required shall be the greater of the amount provided in the
bona fide file offer or $100,000 and shall be deposited in escrow no later than
five (5) working days after exercise of the option.

     38.5.  Said right of first refusal shall terminate as to all subsequent
sales at the expiration of the term of this Lease, or upon the sooner
termination of this Lease or TENANT'S right to possession hereunder. In the
event the TENANT fails to exercise the option to purchase arising out of a bona
fide written offer from a prospective purchaser, then LESSOR may thereupon sell
the LEASED PROPERTY in accordance with the bona fide offer to purchase and upon
such sale TENANT'S rights to purchase under this Article shall be terminated and
be of no further force or effect for any further sale. Provided, however, that
TENANT'S rights hereunder shall continue in effect if the original LESSOR does
not consummate such sale.

     38.6.  If TENANT purchases the LEASED PROPERTY, this Lease shall terminate
on the date title vests in TENANT.

 
     38.7.  The failure of TENANT to deposit the initial cash down payment
required to be deposited pursuant to paragraph 38.4 after exercising an option
to purchase the LEASED PROPERTY shall be a material non-curable default under
this Lease.

     38.8.  PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE, LESSOR AND TENANT HAVE BEEN
CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY LESSOR IN
THE EVENT THAT TENANT FAILS TO CONSUMMATE A PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
AFTER EXERCISING AN OPTION TO PURCHASE THE LEASED PROPERTY. WITH THE FLUCTUATION
IN LAND VALUES, THE UNPREDICTABLE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND OF GOVERNMENTAL
REGULATIONS, THE FLUCTUATING MONEY MARKET FOR REAL ESTATE LOANS OF ALL TYPES AND
OTHER FACTORS WHICH DIRECTLY EFFECT THE VALUE AND MARKETABILITY OF THE LEASED
PROPERTY IT IS REALIZED BY THE PARTIES THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND
IMPRACTICABLE, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY THE
AMOUNT OF DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY LESSOR IN THE EVENT OF TENANT,S
BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE LEASED PROPERTY AFTER EXERCISING AN
OPTION TO PURCHASE THE LEASED PROPERTY UNDER THIS LEASE. THE PARTIES HAVING MADE
DILIGENT BUT UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES
LESSOR WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF TENANT,S BREACH, IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT
THE REASONABLE VALUE OF SAID DAMAGES IS THE SUM OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($100,000), AND IN THE EVENT OF TENANT'S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATION UNDER THIS
LEASE TO PURCHASE THE LEASED PROPERTY AFTER EXERCISING AN OPTION THEREFORE UNDER
THIS ARTICLE 38, LESSOR SHALL, AS ITS SOLE REMEDY, BE ENTITLED TO SUCH SUM AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL BE
LESSOR'S SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF

 
TENANT'S BREACH HEREUNDER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING,
LESSOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO SPECIFICALLY ENFORCE TENANT'S
OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE LEASED PROPERTY AFTER EXERCISING AN OPTION TO
PURCHASE THE LEASED PROPERTY UNDER THIS ARTICLE 38.

of any covenants or obligations on the part of the LESSOR contained in this
Lease thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of such

                         ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
                         ----------------------------

ROBERT SNUKAL, SHEILA SNUKAL, and A.I.B. CORPORATION, a California corporation,
("Assignor") is the Tenant of the real property located in the County of Los
Angeles, State of California, commonly known as 505 North La Brea Blvd., Los
Angeles, California and more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and made a part hereof ("Property").

For value received, Assignor hereby grants, transfers and assigns to LA BREA
CONVALESCENT INVESTMENT! a partnership (Assignee") all rents, income, royalties,
issues and profits due or to become due hereafter for the occupancy or use of
the Property (such rents, royalties, issues and profits being hereinafter
collectively called "Rents").

Assignor warrants that Assignor is the Tenant of the Property pursuant to a
lease dated May 19, 1987 by and between Assignor, as Tenant and Assignee, as
Lessor ("Lease"), that Assignor is the lawful owner of all Rents from Property
now due or to become due from any lessee, sublessee, tenant, assignee, licensee
or concessionaire of Assignor; that Assignor has the right to make this
Assignment; that full title and right to receive all Rents, due or to become
due, are vested in Assignee by reason of this Assignment; that property and
Rents are free from any liens, encumbrances, claims or setoffs of every kind
whatsoever and that no prior or other assignment of Rents has been given by
Assignor.

          Assignor appoints Assignee its true, lawful and irrevocable attorney
to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and
satisfactions, and to sue, either in the name of Assignor or in the name of
Assignee, for all Rents.


                                  EXHIBIT "3"

                                  Page 1 of 3

 
          Assignor Consents that without further notice and without releasing
the liability of Assignor, Assignee may, at Assignee's discretion agree to give
grace or indulgence in the collection of any such Rents and grant extensions of
time for the payment of the same before, at or after maturity.

          Assignor agrees that Assignee may proceed against Assignor hereunder
without joining any tenant or other party to the obligation to pay Rents covered
hereunder; that cessation of the liability of any tenant or other party to pay
Rents for any reason other than full payment shall not in any way affect the
liability of Assignor under this Assignment.

          Assignee does not assume any of Assignor's obligations under Lease,
any lease agreement, or tenancy, or any other agreement to pay any Rent assigned
hereunder, and Assignor agrees (a) to keep and perform all obligations under
such agreements or tenancies and to save Assignee harmless from the consequences
of any failure to do so including reasonable counsel fees incurred by Assignee;
and (b) to preserve the Property free and clear of liens and encumbrances.

          Assignor agrees that Assignor will not assign any interest in any
lease agreement or tenancy or any other agreement to pay any Rent assigned
hereunder; that notice of this Assignment may be given to any tenant, or party
to any such agreement at any time at Assignee's option; and that, in the event
any payment under such agreement or tenancy is made to Assignor, Assignor will
promptly transmit such payment to Assignee in the same form as it is received by
Assignor, except that Assignor will endorse to Assignee instruments which are
payable to Assignor.

          Assignor agrees that, as long as this Assignment is in force, Assignor
will give a copy of this Assignment to each and every lessee, tenant, or other
person obligated to pay Rent as to Property during the term hereof and will
secure the execution by each such lessee, tenant, or other person of an
acknowledgment of this Assignment.

          Assignor agrees that Assignee shall be entitled to deduct and retain
from any monies received by it hereunder for its services or that of any agents
in collecting said monies a just and reasonable compensation.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Assignment to the
contrary, Assignee shall not collect any rents whatsoever, or exercise any of
the other rights herein granted to Assignee, so long as Assignor is not in
default in the payment of rent or property taxes under the terms of Lease. In
the event, Assignor defaults in the performance of any of Assignor's obligations
under, Lease, Assignee shall be free to pursue all of Assignee's rights under
this Assignment in addition to such other rights of Assignor under Lease or as
provided by law.

                                  EXHIBIT "3"

                                  Page 2 of 3

 
          Notwithstanding any provision of this Assignment to the contrary, upon
the happening of any default under Lease, Assignee may exercise each and all of
the rights, remedies and powers herein granted, with or without demanding
possession of the Property, and with or without commencing legal proceedings to
recover possession of the Property.

          Failure of Assignee at any time or from time to time to enforce this
Assignment shall not in any manner prevent its subsequent enforcement, such
Assignee not being obligated to collect anything hereunder, but being
accountable only for sums actually collected.

          This Assignment is irrevocable and shall remain in full force and
effect until and unless there is payment in full of all obligations owned by
Assignor to Assignee on the Property, including but not limited to Lease.

To:  La Brea Convalescent Investments
     Attn: Sanford Deutsch
     8417 Beverly Boulevard
     Suite 205
     Los Angeles, CA 90048

Dear Gentlemen:

My wife and I are the owners of 100% of the capital stock of AIB Corp., a
California corporation ("AIB"). AIB is a party to a Stock Purchase and
Contribution Agreement (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement
at the time of closing, ownership of 100% of AIB's capital stock will be
transferred (the "Transfer") to Fountain View Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Holdings"), which will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fountain
View, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Fountain View"). In addition, in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, we will assign our
interests in the Lease to AIB (together with the Transfer, the "Assignment").
Immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement, my wife and myself will retain voting and operational control of AIB,
we will control the Board of Directors of Fountain View by electing three of the
five proposed Directors of Fountain View, and we will continue to lead AIB's
management team, and Robert Snukal will continue as the Chief Executive Officer
of AIB Corp., Holdings, and Fountain View. The Board of Directors shall be
comprised of myself, my wife, and a third individual to be nominated by us; the
other two seats on the Board of Directors will be nominees of Heritage Fund II
Investment Corporation. Further, my wife and I will retain voting control of
50.1% of the common stock of Fountain View, Inc.

Pursuant to Sections 22.1 and 22.3 of the Lease Agreement dated May 19, 1997
(the "Lease") between La Brea Convalescent Investments, a California
partnership, as Lessor ("Lessor") and AIB and us, as Lessees ("Lessees"), your
written consent is required to the Assignment referred to herein. Further, by
their signature to this document and in connection with your consenting to the
Assignment, Holdings and Fountain View, agree to assume all of the terms,
covenants, conditions, and obligations of the Lessee to be performed under the
Lease, upon the closing. Additionally, Holdings, Fountain View, AIB, my wife and
myself, also agree to the following:

     A.   In addition to the Lease for the Leased Property located at
          505 North La Brea Avenue,

 
          Los Angeles, California, ("505 Lease") Lessees Robert Snukal and
          Sheila Snukal, and their affiliate, B.I.A., are also the Lessees under
          a lease from Lessor of the adjoining and connected Leased Property
          commonly known as 515 North La Brea, Los Angeles, California ("515
          Lease"). The "Leased Property" under each of these two leases are
          together referred to herein as the "Leased Properties". Lessee agrees
          that because of the nature, physical configuration and other factors
          affecting the Leased Properties and the businesses thereon, the Leased
          Properties are not severable from each other for purposes of the 505
          Lease and the 515 Lease ("Leases"); and it is and has always been the
          intention of Lessor and the Lessee under each of the Leases that the
          Lessee under any one of the Leases shall not have the right under any
          circumstances whatsoever to terminate or reject, including a rejection
          under the Bankruptcy code, any one of the Leases, without concurrently
          terminating or rejecting the other one of the Leases, and in the event
          one of the Leases shall be terminated or rejected by Lessee, it shall
          constitute a default under the other Lease.

     B.   Lessee may not exercise the right of first refusal under paragraph 38
          of the 505 Lease, unless Lessee simultaneously exercises the right of
          first refusal under paragraph 38 of the 515 Lease.

We therefore would appreciate you executing this Consent, Agreement, and
Acknowledgement with respect to the following:

     1.   A true and correct copy of the Lease between AIB and Robert and Sheila
          Snukal, as Lessees, and La Brea Convalescent Investments, a California
          partnership, as lessor, dated May 19, 1997 is attached hereto as
          Exhibit A.

     2.   As of the date hereof, (i) there exist no known defaults by any of the
          Lessees, (ii) Lessees are in full compliance with the terms of the
          Lease and (iii) the Lease is in effect as of the date hereof.

     3.   We hereby consent to the Assignment, effective as of the date hereof,
          provided however, that in no event shall Lessees, AIB, Robert and
          Sheila Snukal, be released from Lessees' obligations under the Lease,
          and they agree 

 
          that they will continue to be primarily obligated on the Lease and
          that in the event of a breach or default thereunder, Lessor may
          commence legal proceedings against said Lessees, without first
          proceeding against any Assignee.

If you have any questions or require clarification, please do not hesitate to
