1. GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. For value
received and hereby acknowledged and as an inducement to MEDITRUST ACQUISITION
CORPORATION II, a Delaware corporation, having its principal office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (hereinafter referred to as the
"Lessor") to: (a) enter into that certain lease transaction with a Delaware
corporation, having its principal place of business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (hereinafter referred to as the
"Lessee"), relating to the personal care home to be known as " ",
located in , (hereinafter referred to as the
"Facility"), pursuant to the Facility Lease Agreement of even date herewith by
and between the Lessor and the Lessee (hereinafter referred to as the "Lease"),
and (b) enter into or accept the other Lease Documents (as defined in the Lease)
and make future loans, advances and extensions of credit to, for the account of
or on behalf of the Lessee, the undersigned, BCC DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT CO.,
a Delaware corporation and an Affiliate (as defined in the Lease) of the Lessee,
having its principal place of business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Guarantor"), having entered into a
Development Agreement of even date herewith with the Lessee regarding the
development of the Leased Property and the construction of the Facility and,
accordingly, deriving a substantial benefit from the consummation of the
transaction evidenced by the Lease Documents, hereby unconditionally guarantees
to the Lessor the full payment and performance of the Lease Obligations (as
defined in the Lease).
This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of
the full and punctual payment and performance of the Lease Obligations and not
merely of their collectibility and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement
that the Lessor first collect or attempt to collect the Lease Obligations or any
portion thereof from the Lessee or from any endorser, surety or other guarantor
of any of the same or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment
of any of the Lease Obligations that the Lessor now has or may acquire after the
date hereof, or upon any other contingency whatsoever. Upon any Lease Default
(as defined in the Lease), the Lease Obligations and all liabilities and
obligations of the Guarantor to the Lessor, hereunder or otherwise, shall, at
the option of the Lessor, become immediately due and payable to the Lessor
without further demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly
waived by the Guarantor. Payments by the Guarantor hereunder may be required by
the Lessor on any number of occasions. This Guaranty shall continue in full
force and effect until the complete payment and performance of all of the Lease
Obligations.
All payments hereunder received by the Lessor shall be applied by the
Lessor, without any marshalling of assets, towards the payment and/or
performance of the Lease Obligations and any
2
other indebtedness of the Guarantor hereunder in such order as the Lessor, in
its sole and absolute discretion, may determine.
2. DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
specifically defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Lease.
3. THE GUARANTOR'S FURTHER AGREEMENTS TO PAY. The Guarantor further
agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor, to pay to the Lessor
forthwith upon demand, in funds immediately available to the Lessor, all costs
and expenses, including without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees and
expenses and court costs, reasonably incurred or expended by the Lessor in
connection with the collection or enforcement of the Lease Obligations and the
enforcement of all of the other obligations hereunder. Any amounts owed to the
Lessor under this Section 3 shall be a demand obligation and, if not paid within
ten (10) days after demand, shall thereafter, to the extent then permitted by
law, bear interest at the Overdue Rate until the date of payment. The provisions
of this Section 3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease.
4. LIABILITY OF THE GUARANTOR. This Guaranty is unlimited and the
Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable with every endorser, surety or
other guarantor of any or all of the Lease Obligations and the continuation of
this Guaranty shall not be affected by the termination, discontinuance, release
or modification of any agreement from (a) any such endorser, surety or guarantor
and/or (b) any other endorser, surety or guarantor of any of the other
Obligations. Nothing contained herein or otherwise shall require the Lessor to
make demand upon or join the Lessee or any such endorser, surety or guarantor or
other party in any suit brought upon this Guaranty; and the Guarantor hereby
waives any right to require marshalling or exhaustion of any remedy against any
collateral, other property, or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable.
5. THE LESSOR'S FREEDOM TO DEAL WITH THE LESSEE AND OTHER PARTIES. The
Lessor shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of
the Guarantor and without relieving the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, to
deal with the Lessee and with each other Person who now is or after the date
hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations in such manner as
the Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems fit. The Lessor and the
other Meditrust Entities have full authority (in their sole and absolute
discretion) to do any or all of the following things, none of which shall
discharge or affect the Guarantor's liability hereunder:
(a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations
to the Lessee and/or any of the Related Parties at such times, in such amounts
and on such terms as the Lessor may approve;
(b) modify, amend, vary the terms and grant extensions or renewals of
any present or future indebtedness or of any of the Obligations or any
instrument relating to or securing the same, and, without limitation, this
Guaranty shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease;
- 2 -
3
(c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect of any of the
Obligations;
(d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay
or abstain from perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means
of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which the Lessor or any of the
other Meditrust Entities now has or acquires after the date hereof;
(e) take or omit to take any of the actions referred to in any
instrument evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Obligations or any
actions under this Guaranty;
(f) fail, omit or delay to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power
or remedy conferred on the Lessor or any of the other Meditrust Entities in this
Guaranty or in any other instrument evidencing, securing or relating to any of
the Obligations or take or refrain from taking any other action;
(g) accept partial payments from the Lessee, any other member of the
Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties or any other Person;
(h) release or discharge, wholly or partially, the Lessee, any other
member of the Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties and/or any other Person
now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for the Obligations (or any
portion thereof) or accept additional collateral for the payment of any
Obligations;
(i) compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with the
Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties or any
other Person referred to in clause (h) above; and
(j) consent to and participate in the proceeds of any assignment, trust
or mortgage for the benefit of creditors.
6. UNENFORCEABILITY OF OBLIGATIONS; INVALIDITY OF SECURITY OR OTHER
GUARANTIES. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by
any change in the beneficial ownership of the Lessee, any other member of the
Leasing Group or any of the Related Parties, by reason of any disability of the
Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group, any Related Party or by any other
circumstance (other than the complete payment and performance of the Lease
Obligations) which might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of,
the Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group or any of the Related Parties
in respect of any of the Obligations. If for any reason now or hereafter the
Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group or any of the Related Parties has
no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the
Obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or
if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from
the Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group or any Related Party by
operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be
binding on the Guarantor and the Guarantor shall remain unconditionally liable
for the complete payment and performance of the Lease Obligations. This Guaranty
shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the
Obligations, and
- 3 -
4
it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any
such other guaranty or security. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, any payment of the
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lessor or any of
the other Meditrust Entities, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
of the Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group or any of the Related
Parties or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The
Guarantor covenants to cause the Lessee to maintain and preserve the
enforceability of any instruments now or hereafter executed in favor of the
Lessor, and to take no action of any kind which might be the basis for a claim
that the Guarantor has any defense hereunder other than the complete payment and
performance of the Lease Obligations.
It shall not be necessary for the Lessor to inquire into the power of
the Lessee or anyone acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Lease
Obligation made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such
powers shall be guarantied hereunder. The Guarantor represents that the Lessee
is the bona fide tenant of the Leased Property and that the Lessee has not been
formed or availed of to evade or circumvent the applicable usury laws of any
state or states concerned therewith, and the Guarantor hereby indemnifies the
Lessor and agrees to save it harmless against any damages or expenses suffered
by the Lessor should this representation or any other representation contained
herein prove untrue in any material respect. The aforesaid indemnification
agreement shall include, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and
court costs reasonably incurred by the Lessor in connection with the enforcement
of said indemnification.
The indemnity provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the complete
payment and performance of the Obligations and the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTOR. In order to induce
the Lessor to enter into or accept the Lease and the other Lease Documents, the
Guarantor hereby warrants and represents to, and covenants and agrees with, the

7.2. THE LESSEE AS AFFILIATE OF GUARANTOR.
The Lessee is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the sole shareholder of the
Guarantor.
7.3. NO VIOLATIONS.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and the other
Lease Documents and the consummation of the transactions thereby contemplated
shall not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in
the acceleration of, or constitute an event which, with notice or passage of
time could result in default or acceleration of any obligation of the Guarantor
or any other contract, mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, instrument, franchise,
arbitration award, judgment, decree, bank loan or credit agreement, trust
indenture or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the
Guarantor may be bound or affected and do not violate or contravene any Legal
Requirement;
7.4. NO CONSENT OR APPROVAL.
Except as already obtained or filed, as the case may be, no consent or
approval or other authorization of, or exemption by, or declaration or filing
with, any Person and no waiver of any right by any Person is required to
authorize or permit, or is otherwise required as a condition to the Guarantor's
execution and delivery of this Guaranty or any of the other Lease Documents to
which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder, or as a
condition to the validity (assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Lessor of the Lease and the other Lease Documents to which it is
a party) or enforceability of any of the same and/or the first priority of any
Liens granted thereunder;
7.4. FINANCIAL CONDITION.
(a) The Guarantor is financially solvent and there are no actions,
suits, investigations or proceedings including, without limitation, outstanding
federal or state tax liens, garnishments or insolvency and bankruptcy
proceedings, pending or, to the best of the Guarantor's knowledge and belief,
threatened:
i. against or affecting the Guarantor which, if adversely
resolved against the Guarantor would materially adversely affect the
ability of the Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty
or any of the Lease Documents to which it is a party;
ii. against or affecting the Leased Property or the ownership,
construction, development, maintenance, management, repair, use,
occupancy, possession or operation thereof; or
iii. which may involve or affect the validity, priority or
enforceability of this Guaranty, the Lease or any of the other Lease
Documents, at law or in equity, or before or by any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority;
- 5 -

(b) After giving effect to the consummation of the transaction
contemplated by the Lease and the other Lease Documents, the Guarantor:
i. will be able to pay its debts as they become due;
ii. will have sufficient funds and capital to carry on its
business as now conducted or as contemplated to be conducted (in
accordance with the terms of the Lease Documents);
iii. will own property having a value both at fair valuation and
at present fair saleable value greater than the amount required to pay
its debts as they become due; and
iv. will not be rendered insolvent as determined by applicable
law;
(c) The Guarantor is not a party to any agreement, the terms of which
now have or, based upon current circumstances, as far as can be reasonably
foreseen, may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
business or on the operation of the Facility;
(d) The Guarantor is not delinquent or claimed to be delinquent under
any material obligation for the payment of borrowed money;
7.5. COMMERCIAL ACTS.
The Guarantor's performance of and compliance with the obligations and
conditions set forth herein and the other Lease Documents to which it is a party
will constitute commercial acts done and performed for commercial purposes;

are required to be filed as to which extensions are not currently in effect and
has paid all taxes, assessments, impositions, fees and other governmental
charges (including interest and penalties) which have become due pursuant to
such returns or pursuant to any assessment or notice of tax claim or deficiency
received by the Guarantor. No tax liability has been asserted by the Internal
Revenue Service against the Guarantor or any other federal, state or local
taxing authority for taxes, assessments, impositions, fees or other governmental
charges (including interest or penalties thereon) in excess of those already
paid; and
7.7. ACCURACY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION.
The financial statements of the Guarantor given to the Lessor in
connection with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Lease
Documents were true, complete and accurate and fairly presented the financial
condition of the Guarantor as of the date thereof and for the periods covered
thereby, having been prepared in accordance with GAAP and such financial
statements disclosed all material liabilities, including, without limitation,
contingent
- 6 -

liabilities, of the Guarantor. There has been no material adverse change since
such date with respect to the Tangible Net Worth or liquidity of the Guarantor
or with respect to any other matters referred to or contained therein and no
additional material liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent
liabilities of the Guarantor have arisen or been incurred since such date. The
projections heretofore delivered to the Lessor continue to be reasonable (with
respect to the material assumptions upon which such projections are based) and
the Guarantor reasonably anticipates the results projected therein will be
achieved, there having been (a) no material adverse change in the business,
assets or condition, financial or otherwise of the Guarantor or (b) no material
depletion of the Guarantor's cash or decrease in working capital.
8. CONTINUING REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: All representations and
warranties contained in this Guaranty shall constitute continuing
representations and warranties which shall remain true, correct and complete as
long as this Guaranty is in force and effect. Notwithstanding the provisions of
the foregoing sentence but without derogation from any other terms and
provisions of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, those terms and

Sections 7.4(a), 7.4(c), 7.4(d), in the second sentence of Section 7.6 and in
the second and third sentences of Section 7.7 hereof shall not constitute
continuing representations and warranties hereunder.
9. NO CONTEST WITH THE LESSOR. No set-off, counterclaim, reduction or
diminution of any obligation, or any claim or defense of any kind or nature
which the Guarantor has or may have against the Lessee, any other member of the
Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties or the Lessor shall be available
hereunder to the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall not assert and hereby waives any
right whatsoever that the Guarantor may have at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation or to seek contribution,
indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from the Lessee, any other
endorser, surety or guarantor of any of the Obligations or any other Person now
or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations. The
Guarantor shall not, in any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or insolvency
proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with the Lessor in respect of
any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or
proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of the Lessee, any other
member of the Leasing Group or any of the Related Parties or the benefit of any
other security for any Obligation which, now or hereafter, the Guarantor may
hold in competition with the Lessor.
10. SET-OFF. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
any agreement or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights,
upon the occurrence of any Lease Default, including, without limitation, any
default by the Guarantor hereunder, the Lessor and the other Meditrust Entities
are hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Guarantor or to any other
Person, all of which are hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate
and apply any and all deposits and any other indebtedness at any time held by or
owing to the Lessor (or any of the other Meditrust Entities) to or for the
credit or the account of the Guarantor against and on account of the obligations
and liabilities of the Guarantor to the Lessor or any of the other Meditrust
Entities under this Guaranty or otherwise, irrespective of whether or not the
Lessor or
- 7 -
8
any of the other Meditrust Entities shall have made any demand hereunder or
under any Related Party Agreement and although said obligations, liabilities or
claims, or any of them, may then be contingent or unmatured and without regard
to the availability or adequacy of other collateral. The Guarantor also grants
to the Lessor (and the other Meditrust Entities) a security interest in all of
the Guarantor's deposits, securities and other property at any time and from
time to time, in the possession of the Lessor (or any of the other Meditrust
Entities) and, upon the occurrence of any Lease Default, the Lessor and the
other Meditrust Entities may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code. The Lessor and the other
Meditrust Entities shall have no duty to take steps to preserve rights against
prior parties as to such securities or other property.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that all collateral now or hereafter
granted as security for any indebtedness of the Guarantor to the Lessor and/or
the other Meditrust Entities shall be deemed to be additional collateral
securing the Obligations.
11. WAIVERS. The Guarantor waives presentment for payment, demand,
protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, protest of any dishonor,
suretyship defenses, notice of protest and protest of the Lease Documents and,
and all other notices in connection with (a) the delivery or the acceptance of
the Lease Documents and any reliance thereon and/or (b) the performance, default
(except notice of default as specifically elsewhere required under any of the
Lease Documents) or enforcement of any obligation under the Lease Documents, and
agrees that its liability shall be unconditional without regard to the liability
of any other party and shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence,
extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by
the Lessor; and the Guarantor consents to any and all extensions of time,
renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted or consented to by the
Lessor with respect to the payment or performance of any obligations under the
Lease Documents and to the release of the Collateral (or any part thereof), with
or without substitution, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers,
guarantors or sureties may become parties to the Lease Documents without notice
to the Guarantor or affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder or under
any of the other Lease Documents to which the Guarantor is a party.
12. INDEMNIFICATION. Except with respect to the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of the Lessor or any of the other Indemnified Parties, as to
which no indemnity is provided, the Guarantor hereby agrees to defend with
counsel acceptable to the Lessor, indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor and
each of the other Indemnified Parties from and against all damages, losses,
claims, liabilities, obligations, penalties, causes of action, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and other
expenses of litigation) suffered by, or claimed or asserted against, the Lessor
or any of the other Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly, based on,
arising out of or resulting from (a) the use and occupancy of the Leased
Property or any business conducted therein, (b) any act, fault, omission to act
or misconduct by (i) any member of the Leasing Group, (ii) any Affiliate of the
Lessee or (iii) any employee, agent, licensee, business invitee, guest,
customer, contractor or sublessee of any of the foregoing parties, relating to,
directly or indirectly, the Leased Property, (c) any accident, injury or damage
whatsoever caused to any Person, including, without limitation, any claim of
malpractice, or to the property of any Person in or about the Leased Property or
outside of the

Leased Property where such accident, injury or damage results or is claimed to
have resulted from any act, fault, omission to act or misconduct by any member
of the Leasing Group or any Affiliate of the Lessee or any employee, agent,
licensee, contractor or sublessee of any of the foregoing parties, (d) any Lease
Default, (e) any claim brought or threatened against any of the Indemnified
Parties by any member of the Leasing Group or by any other Person on account of
(i) the Lessor's relationship with any member of the Leasing Group pertaining in
any way to the Leased Property and/or the transaction evidenced by the Lease
Documents and/or (ii) the Lessor's negotiation of, entering into and/or
performing any of its obligations and/or exercising any of its right and
remedies under any of the Lease Documents, (f) any attempt by any member of the
Leasing Group or any Affiliate of the Lessee to transfer or relocate any of the
Permits to any location other than the Leased Property and/or (g) the
enforcement of this indemnity. Any amounts which become payable by the Guarantor
under this Section 12 shall be a demand obligation of the Guarantor to the
Lessor. The indemnity provided for in this Section 12 shall survive any
termination of this Guaranty.
13. NOTICES. Any notice, request, demand, statement or consent made
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if personally
