Form of Subscription Agreement



 Exhibit 10.18 
 Subscription Agreement 
 As of March 15, 2007 
 To the Board of Directors of 
 KBL Healthcare Acquisition Corp. III: 
 Gentlemen: 
 The undersigned hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase             Warrants
(“Insider Warrants”) at $1.00 per Insider Warrant, of KBL Healthcare Acquisition Corp. III (the “Corporation”) for an aggregate purchase price of
$            (“Purchase Price”). The purchase and issuance of the Insider Warrants shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Corporation’s initial public
offering of securities (“IPO”) which is being underwritten by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”). The Insider Warrants will be sold to the undersigned on a private placement basis and not part of the IPO. 
 At least 24 hours prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with the IPO (“Registration Statement”), the
undersigned shall deliver the Purchase Price to Graubard Miller (“GM”) to hold in an account until the Corporation consummates the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, GM shall deposit the Purchase Price, without interest
or deduction, into the trust fund (“Trust Fund”) established by the Corporation for the benefit of the Corporation’s public stockholders as described in the Corporation’s Registration Statement, pursuant to the terms of an
Investment Management Trust Agreement to be entered into between the Corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. In the event that the IPO is not consummated within 14 days of the date the Purchase Price is delivered to GM,
GM shall return the Purchase Price to the undersigned, without interest or deduction. 
 The undersigned represents and warrants that she has
been advised that the Insider Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act; that she is acquiring the Insider Warrants for her account for investment purposes only; that she has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of
the Insider Warrants in violation of the securities laws of the United States; that she is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”); and that she is familiar with the proposed business, management, financial condition and affairs of the Corporation. 
 Moreover,
the undersigned agrees that she shall not sell or transfer the Insider Warrants or any underlying securities until after the Corporation consummates a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an
operating business (as more fully described in the Registration Statement) (“Business Combination”) and acknowledges that the certificates for such Insider Warrants shall contain a legend indicating such restriction on transferability.

 The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event the Corporation calls the Warrants for redemption pursuant to that
certain Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in connection with the Corporation’s IPO, the Corporation shall allow the undersigned (or her affiliates) to exercise any
Insider Warrants by surrendering such Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant, multiplied by the difference
between the Warrant exercise price and the “Fair Market Value” (defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. The “Fair 








 
Market Value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the
date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants. 
 The terms of this agreement and the restriction on transfers with
respect to the Insider Warrants may not be amended without the prior written consent of Citigroup.
