interest created by the Forbearance Documents in accounts (as that term is

Missouri) of any Partnership is junior in order of priority to any security
interest in such accounts previously granted by such Partnership to, and

institution or other lender a lien on and a security interest in all or any
portion of the Collateral covered by the Ballwin Deed of Trust or the Haysville

                                     -29-

 
cause the Collateral Agent to, execute and deliver such documents as such
financial institution or other lender reasonably may request to subordinate the
liens and security interests created by the Ballwin Partnership Guaranty Deed of
Trust or the Haysville Partnership Guaranty Mortgage, as the case may be, to the
lien and security interest granted to such financial institution or other lender
if (a) such lien and such security interest granted to such financial
institution or other lender secure only the repayment by Ballwin or Haysville,
as the case may be, of indebtedness for funds borrowed by Ballwin or Haysville,
as the case may be, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,550,000.00 and
(except as expressly provided below in this Section) for the sole purpose of
paying to First Healthcare a portion of the Obligations, (b) all proceeds of
such borrowed funds (except as expressly provided below in this Section) are, in
fact, paid by Ballwin or Haysville, as the case may be, to First Healthcare for
application against the Obligations as provided below in this Section and (c)
the documents creating or purporting to create such lien and such security
interest provide by their respective terms, in form and substance satisfactory
to First Healthcare, that, and Ballwin or Haysville furnishes or causes to be
furnished to First Healthcare such endorsements to title insurance policies and
such other documents as First Healthcare reasonably may request to insure or
otherwise evidence that, such lien and such security interest are junior and
subordinate to the liens and security interests created or purported to be
created by the Transaction Documents; provided that if the proceeds of the funds
                                      --------                                  
borrowed by Ballwin or Haysville, as the case may be, exceed an aggregate amount
of $1,500,000.00, then Ballwin or Haysville, as the case may be, may use the
proceeds of such borrowed funds in excess of $1,500,000.00 to pay reasonable
closing costs associated with the consummation of such borrowing by Ballwin or
Haysville, as the case may be, and to pay reasonable fees and disbursements of
attorneys incurred by the Forbearance Parties in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of the Forbearance Documents, the Escrowed
Documents and the MediSave Forbearance Documents.  The proceeds of funds
borrowed by Ballwin or Haysville and paid to First Healthcare pursuant to this
Section for application against the Obligations shall be applied by First
Healthcare as follows: (i) if the installments in the aggregate amount of
$252,000.00 have not then been made pursuant to and in accordance with Section
3.06(a), then first against the Arrearages, if any, in an amount up to the
lesser of the then unpaid amount of the Arrearages or $252,000.00; (ii) then
against the Delinquent Tax Balance, if any, by deposit with First Healthcare of
an amount up to the lesser of the then unpaid amount of the Delinquent Tax
Balance or one-half of the balance of the borrowed funds remaining after
application (if any) of the amount provided in clause (i) of this Section for
application first against the Delinquent Taxes payable with respect to the

Collateral covered by the Ballwin Deed of Trust or the Haysville Mortgage, as
the case may be, and then as provided in Section 3.10(d); (iii) then against the

the Arrearages or one-half of the balance of the borrowed funds remaining after
application (if any) of the amount provided in clause (i) of this Section; and
(iv) then, the balance (if any) of the borrowed funds remaining after
application of the amounts provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
Section, against the Obligations in such order and in such manner as First
Healthcare shall determine in its sole discretion.

Marceline Lease and (b) the unconditional release of First Healthcare, Hillhaven

     Arrearages under Section 3.06 in the inverse order of their maturities,

     such consent for no reason or for any reason and that, in the event First
     Healthcare determines to consent to any requested prepayment of any
     principal amount evidenced by the Notes, First Healthcare may condition its
     consent on such terms as First Healthcare deems appropriate.  Subject to
     the conditions to effectiveness of the Note Modification Agreement set

     accordance with the provisions of the Modified MediSave Note.

     Delinquent Tax Balance plus the aggregate unpaid principal amounts

     interest accrued on the principal amounts evidenced by the Notes, and if
     First Healthcare determines in its sole discretion to consent to prepayment
     of all such amounts on or before June 30, 1996, and if the Partnerships in
     fact, on or before June 30, 1996, and on such terms and subject to such
     conditions as First Healthcare may deem appropriate in its sole discretion,
     prepay in full to First Healthcare all of the unpaid Arrearages plus all of
     the Delinquent Tax Balance plus the aggregate unpaid principal amounts
     evidenced by the Notes plus all interest accrued on the Arrearages plus all
     interest accrued on the principal amounts evidenced by the Notes, and if
     all of the conditions to the release pursuant to Section 3.22 of the
     security interests created by the respective Partnership Guaranty Security
     Agreements executed and delivered by the Chastain's Facility Partnerships
     pursuant to this Agreement shall have been satisfied, and if no Forbearance
     Default shall have occurred, then an amount (the "Discount Amount") equal
     to ten percent of the sum of the principal amounts that are so prepaid

     security for the punctual payment and performance of, all of the
     Obligations; provided that if each of Blue Hills and Wornall prepays in
                  --------                                                  
     full to First Healthcare the entire portion of the Delinquent Rent in the
     amount set forth opposite the name of such Partnership in Schedule J(2),
     plus the entire portion of the Delinquent Taxes in the amount set forth
     opposite the name of such Partnership in Schedule J(4), plus the entire
     amount of such Partnership's Share of the Default Costs and Expenses, plus
     all accrued interest to the date of each such prepayment on the amount of
     the Arrearages so prepaid by such Partnership, and if the respective Leases
     pertaining to the respective Subleased Facilities subleased by Blue Hills
     and Wornall are terminated on terms providing, among other things, for the
     unconditional release of First Healthcare, Hillhaven and Tenet, and their
     respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
     insurers, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, from any
     continuing liabilities and other obligations under such Leases, and if no
     Forbearance Default shall have occurred, then the Discount Amount that
     First Healthcare shall be entitled to hold as security for the punctual
     payment and performance of all of the Obligations pursuant to this Section
     shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $750,000.00 or (ii) two and
     one-half percent, rather than ten percent, of the sum of the principal
     amounts that are prepaid under the Notes from time to time on or prior to
     June 30, 1996, as provided above in this Section (excluding any amount of
     the Arrearages and the amount of any regularly scheduled principal payments
     under the Notes) or (iii) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product
     obtained by multiplying seven times the maximum amount of monthly Rent
     payable during the then remaining term of the Sublease executed and
     delivered by Colonial Terrace plus (B) the product obtained by multiplying
     seven times the maximum aggregate amount of monthly Operator's Return
     payable under the Management Agreements during the then remaining term of
     the Management Agreements.  First Healthcare shall remit to the General
     Partner for and on behalf of the Partnerships, within ten days after
     receipt by First Healthcare from the General Partner of a written request
     for such remittance, any portion of the Discount Amount then held by First
     Healthcare which exceeds the Discount Amount that First Healthcare shall

have entered upon or taken possession of the Facilities or the Collateral except
upon the exercise of its option to do so, evidenced by its demand and overt act
for such purpose, nor shall First Healthcare or the Collateral Agent be deemed a
mortgagee in possession by reason of such entry or taking possession.  Neither
First Healthcare nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable to account for any
action taken pursuant to any exercise of any of the rights or remedies set forth
in Section 6.02 or in any Transaction Document or any other Forbearance
Document, other than for rents actually received by First Healthcare or the

provisions in Section 6.02, each Forbearance Party hereby irrevocably authorizes
First Healthcare, upon the occurrence of any Forbearance Default, (a) to market
any or all of the Facilities, or any one or more combinations of the Facilities,
for sale, lease or other disposition to potential purchasers, lessees or

other agents and representatives to perform any act or acts necessary or
incident to any marketing of the Facilities by First Healthcare pursuant to the

agrees that (i) the grant of authority set forth in this Section has been
specifically

negotiated and (ii) the authority granted to First Healthcare in this Section is
solely to protect First Healthcare's interest in the Facilities and the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon First Healthcare to exercise any
such authority.  Each Forbearance Party further acknowledges and agrees that the
grant of authority set forth in this Section has been made voluntarily and
knowingly by such Forbearance Party notwithstanding the fact that the selection
by First Healthcare of the Facility or Facilities to be marketed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section, and the time, method and other terms
(including, but not limited to, price) of marketing, sale, lease or other
disposition (whether for cash or on credit) deemed by First Healthcare to be
acceptable in its sole discretion, may not be deemed desirable or acceptable to
such Forbearance Party.  First Healthcare shall have no obligation to provide
any financing or credit support of any kind in connection with any sale, lease
or other disposition of any or all of the Facilities pursuant to the authority
granted in this Section or otherwise.

     acknowledges and agrees that neither the recordation by First Healthcare or
     its assignee or transferee of any Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, nor the
     acceptance by First Healthcare or its assignee or transferee of any other
     Escrowed Document, is intended to be, or shall constitute, payment or
     satisfaction of any or all of the Obligations.

          (d) Forbearance Parties Remain Liable.  Notwithstanding any provision

     of the Collateral, and in no event shall First Healthcare or any assignee
     or transferee of First Healthcare have any obligation or liability in
     respect of all or any part of the Collateral unless First Healthcare or
     such assignee or transferee expressly assumes such obligation or liability
     in writing.  The Forbearance Parties, jointly and severally, shall

     indirectly, from or by reason of, or in any manner related to or connected
     with, (i) any incorrectness or breach of any of the representations,
     warranties or covenants of any Forbearance Party set forth in this
     Agreement, any other Forbearance Document or any Escrowed Document or (ii)
     any ownership, lease, sublease, management, use, operation, possession or
     control of, or any activities on or about, any or all of the Collateral
     prior to the transfer of such Collateral to First Healthcare or any
     assignee or transferee of First Healthcare, whether pursuant to foreclosure
     proceedings or in lieu of foreclosure proceedings; provided that no
