      applications that Buyer reasonably believes are required to obtain the Operator

      Closing. Subject to such minor and non-material economic changes as may be
      appropriate for each particular circumstance and as may be required by
      applicable regulatory authorities, the (i) Transition Services Agreement and
      (ii) Sale and Leaseback Agreement shall be substantially in the forms attached
      hereto as **Exhibit
      U** (“ **Sale
      and Leaseback Agreement** ”)
      and **Exhibit
      V** (“ **Transition
      Services Agreement** ”) **** respectively.
      Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that
      Buyer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, has not, on or before
      November 27, 2006, obtained Operator Licenses or satisfied all conditions
      necessary to obtain reasonable assurances from the applicable regulatory
      authorities that it will obtain Operator Licenses promptly after Closing and
      satisfaction or completion of customary post closing matters associated with
      obtaining such Operator Licenses as reasonably determined by Buyer, for at
      least
      sixteen (16) of the Facilities, then Buyer, in its sole discretion, may elect
      to
      change the Closing Date to December 15, 2006. For the avoidance of doubt,
      delivering a copy of the executed deed to the appropriate regulatory authority
      and/or a survey of a Facility by the requisite regulatory authority are examples
      of customary post closing matters. Buyer shall provide Seller and Licensees
      with

      making of such election does not relieve Buyer of its obligation to close or
      give rise to any right to terminate this Agreement.




**3.4.**  **Westlake
      Facility Closing** .
      The
      parties hereby acknowledge that the real property upon which the Cypress Gardens
      at Westlake in Westlake, Ohio (“ **Westlake
      Facility** ”) **** is
      located (“ **Westlake
      Property** ”)
      is
      subject to that certain (i) Commissioner’s Deed dated February 28, 1995, and
      (ii) Foreclosure Sale Use Agreement dated February 28, 1995, as amended by
      that
      certain Amendment to Commissioner’s Deed and Foreclosure Sale Use Agreement
      dated June 30, 1999 (collectively, “ **HUD
      Agreement** ”).
      The
      HUD Agreement provides, among other things, that the Westlake Property may
      not
      be transferred without the prior written approval of the Department of Housing
      and Urban Development (“ **HUD** ”).
      In
      order to obtain HUD’s approval, the Buyer must obtain a “2530 Clearance” from
      HUD and submit (i) a written request to HUD to approve the sale, (ii) a copy
      of
      the HUD Agreement, and (iii) a copy of the Operator License in the name of
      the
      Buyer or, if the application for the Operator License is pending, then a copy
      of
      the applicable application, together with a statement from the State of Ohio
      licensing agency that the Buyer is authorized to operate the Westlake Facility
      under the existing Operator License pending issuance to Buyer of its Operator
      License (collectively, “ **HUD
      Conditions** ”).




Buyer
      hereby agrees to diligently pursue in good faith the satisfaction of the HUD
      Conditions and Seller and Licensee hereby agree to cooperate and work with
      Buyer
      in good faith to satisfy the HUD Conditions until Buyer obtains HUD approval
      or
      provides Seller with a Westlake Termination Notice, as defined hereinafter
      below. However, in the event that Buyer, despite good faith efforts, has not
      satisfied the HUD Conditions and obtained HUD approval on or before the Closing
      Date, then, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
      contrary, the Sale Assets and Assumed Obligations associated with or related
      to
      the Westlake Facility (collectively, “ **Westlake
      Facility Assets** ”)
      shall
      be excluded from the Closing.





In
      such
      event, (i) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase
      Price allocated to the Westlake Facility Assets (“ **Westlake
      Facility Price”** )
      in
      Schedule 2, (ii) the amount of the Deposit that may be applied against the
      reduced Purchase Price at Closing shall be an amount equal to the Deposit less
      a
      proportionate share of the Deposit allocable to the Westlake Facility Assets
      (“ **Westlake
      Facility Deposit** ”)
      and
      (iii) the Westlake Facility Deposit shall be held in escrow as more particularly
      described in the Escrow Agreement. In addition, at Closing, Buyer, or its
      designee, and Westlake Senior Care, LLC shall enter into a management agreement
      on such reasonable terms and conditions as are to be agreed by the parties
      pursuant to which Buyer or its designee shall operate and manage the Westlake
      Facility on an interim basis (the “ **Westlake
      Management Agreement** ”).
      Further, at the Westlake Facility Closing (as hereinafter defined), the parties
      shall make the prorations and adjustments provided in Article 10 with
      respect to the Westlake Facility Assets.





The
      closing with respect to the Westlake Facility Assets (“ **Westlake
      Facility Closing”** )
      shall
      be extended until the fifth business day after the date that Buyer obtains
      HUD
      approval (“ **Westlake
      Facility Closing Date** ”).
      The
      purchase price for the Westlake Facility Assets shall be equal to the Westlake
      Facility Price and shall be paid to Seller at the Westlake Facility Closing
      in
      the manner provided in Section 2.1 .
      The
      parties shall provide the applicable closing deliveries at the Westlake Facility
      Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The
      representations and warranties made by Sellers, Licensees and Buyers in this


8


Agreement
      with respect to (i) the Westlake Facility Assets and (ii) the authority to
      consummate the Westlake Facility Closing shall be true in all material respects
      as of the Westlake Facility Closing Date. Sellers, Licensees and Buyers shall
      continue to comply with the interim operating covenants and other pre-closing
      agreements contained herein with respect to the Westlake Facility until the
      Westlake Facility Closing Date. Closing expenses with respect to the Westlake
      Facility Closing shall be allocated between the parties as provided in Article 13 .
      If the
      Westlake Facility Closing does not occur solely due to Buyer’s default under
      this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to retain the Westlake Facility
      Deposit, which shall not be considered liquidated damages pursuant to Section
      7.4 hereof, and Seller shall have such additional remedies as are available
      at
      law or in equity.





Notwithstanding
      anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that Buyer has not
      obtained HUD approval within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing
      Date, then Buyer may, in its sole discretion, at anytime thereafter until it
      receives HUD approval provide Seller and Licensees with notice that it no longer
      desires to purchase the Westlake Facility Assets (“ **Westlake
      Termination Notice** ”)
      and
      the balance of the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer in accordance
      with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement; provided, that Buyer
      or
      its designee shall continue to operate and manage the Westlake Facility pursuant
      to the terms of the Westlake Management Agreement until the Westlake Facility
      is
      sold to a third party. In such event, Seller will use good faith efforts to
      sell
      the Westlake Facility as promptly as practicable; provided, that Sellers shall
      not be obligated to sell the Westlake Facility for an amount that is less than
      the Westlake Facility Price.

      matters are true as of the date hereof and shall be true in all material
      respects as of the Closing Date:




**5.1.**  **Authority.** The
      execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer, and the performance of this
      Agreement by Buyer, has been duly authorized by Buyer, and this Agreement is
      binding on Buyer and enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms
      except as enforceability may be restricted, limited or delayed by applicable
      bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and except as
      enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity.




**5.2.**  **Capacity** .
      Buyer
      is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good
      standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer has the requisite power
      and authority to enter into this Agreement, perform its obligations hereunder
      and to conduct its business or operations as now being conducted.




**5.3.**  **Qualification** .
      Neither
      Buyer nor any of its respective representatives, officers, directors, partners,
      members, agents or employees has been disqualified from participating in either
      the Medicare or Medicaid programs or under any Third Party Payor Programs.
      Without limitation of the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any of its respective
      officers, directors or managing employees or other employees or agents, or
      other
      persons required to be identified (Medicare Form 855) has engaged in any
      activities which are prohibited under criminal law, or are cause for civil
      penalties or mandatory or permissive exclusion from Medicare, or any other
      state
      health care program.




**5.4.**  **Availability
      of Funds.** Buyer
      has, or at Closing will have, the credit facilities or cash in amounts equal
      to
      the Purchase Price and will at the Closing have immediately available funds
      in
      cash, which are sufficient to pay the balance of the Purchase Price and to
      pay
      any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and to consummate the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  If
      Buyer
      is relying on financing to consummate the purchase of the Sale Assets, failure
      to obtain any such financing shall not excuse Buyer’s performance
      hereunder.




**5.5.**  **Sale
      Assets** .
      Buyer’s
      agreement to acquire the Sale Assets “as-is where-is”, as more particularly

      Buyer’s
      acceptance of the state of title to the Land and matters of survey as disclosed
      in the title commitments, title policies and surveys previously obtained by

      the Permitted Encumbrances.




**5.6.**  **Hart-Scott-Rodino.** Buyer
      has
      determined that no filings are required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
      Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Act") in connection with the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the basis that the acquiring
      person (as




16


defined
      in the HSR Act and Rules) does not meet the jurisdictional threshold under
      Section 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(II).  Buyer indemnifies and holds the Seller and
      Licensees harmless from and against any losses, costs, expenses, attorneys’
fees, fines, or penalties which any of the Licensees or Seller may incur,
      suffer, sustain, or become subject to as the result of any claim or
      determination that Seller was required to file Hart-Scott-Rodino applications
      with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice.

      Prior to Closing** .

      leasing incentives offered by Seller and Licensees from time to time disclosed

      provided that no leasing incentives to new residents that are not consistent
      with **Exhibit
      Q** **** that
      are
      to remain in effect after Closing may be given without Buyer’s consent. For the

      extend or amend any existing Facility Agreement disclosed on **Exhibit
      R** or (ii)
      enter into a new Facility Agreement that would have been required to be
      disclosed on **Exhibit

      Buyer’s written consent, which cannot be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
      delayed, with the exception of any extended or amended Facility Agreement or
      a
      new Facility Agreement that is entered into in the ordinary course of business
      and consistent with the past business practices of Seller and Licensees, and

      to
      such obligation having been satisfied in all material respects or waived by
      Buyer);




(c)  by
      Buyer,
      if there has been a material breach by Seller or Licensees of any of the

      in this Agreement, following written notice from Buyer, and Seller or Licensees
      failing to cure any such material breach within ten (10) days of receipt of
      such
      notice, results in a material adverse change in the business, results of
      operation, assets or financial condition of Seller and Licensees, collectively
      and taken as a whole, or as a result thereof causes a material adverse impact
      on
      the condition, value or operations of the Facilities or Buyer’s investment

      provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1 (e) shall
      not be available to Seller and Licensees if their failure to fulfill any of
      their material obligations under this Agreement have been the cause of or
      resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the aforesaid
      date.




**7.2.**  **Certain
      Effects of Termination** .
      In the
      event of the termination of this Agreement by either Seller and Licensees or

      party, if so requested by the other party, will return promptly every document
      furnished to it by the other party (or any subsidiaries, division, associate
      or
      affiliate of such other party) in connection with the transactions contemplated
      hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement,
      and
      any copies thereof (except for copies of documents publicly available) which
      may
      have been made,




18


and
      will
      use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and any representatives
      of
      financial institutions and investors and others to whom such documents were
      furnished promptly to return such documents and any copies thereof any of them
      may have made;




(b)  solely
      with respect to any termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or
      Section 7.1(d) ,
      upon
      termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to the return of its
      Deposit thereon plus, in the event the termination of this Agreement is pursuant
      to Section 7.1(c) and as
      liquidated damages, the cost of any reasonable expenses incurred and paid by
      Buyer to a third party in connection with this transaction (in all other
      instances of termination the Deposit shall be paid to Seller); and




(c)  the
      Confidentiality Agreement (as defined herein) shall remain in
      effect.




**7.3.**  **Remedies** .
      Notwithstanding any termination right granted in Section 7.1 ,
      in the
      event of the non-fulfillment of any condition to a party’s closing obligations,
      in the alternative; such party may elect to do one of the
      following:




(a)  proceed
      to close despite the non-fulfillment of any closing condition, it being
      understood that consummation of the Closing shall be deemed a waiver of a breach
      of any representation, warranty or covenant and of such party’s rights and
      remedies with respect thereto to the extent that such party shall have actual
      knowledge of such breach and the Closing shall nonetheless occur;




(b)  decline
      to close, and terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1 ;




(c)  with
      respect to Seller and Licensees only, seek the remedy described in Section 7.4 ;
      or




(d)  with
      respect to Buyer only, seek specific performance of this Agreement.




**7.4.**  **LIQUIDATED
      DAMAGES** .
      IF THE
      CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR SOLELY DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (ALL
      CONDITIONS TO BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS HAVING BEEN SATISFIED OR WAIVED), IT WOULD BE
      IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY
      SUFFER. THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE
      TOTAL DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN SUCH EVENT IS AND SHALL BE THE
      RIGHT
      TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT TOGETHER WITH ANY AND ALL INTEREST THEREON **** AS
      LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
      SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN
      THE
      MEANING OF APPLICABLE LAWS. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BUYER’S
      FAILURE OR INABILITY TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY OPERATOR LICENSES IS NOT A
      CONDITION TO BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE 7 .




**8.**  **Seller’s
      and Licensees’ Closing Deliveries** .
      At
      Closing (or such other times as may be specified below), Seller and/or Licensees
      shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designees the following,
      in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer:




19


**8.1.**  **Deed** . **A** limited
      warranty deed which shall be the equivalent of an Illinois special warranty
      deed, provided Buyer’s local counsel reasonably approves the form of the limited
      warranty deed and the form is consistent with the form of limited warranty
      deed
      that is customary for such jurisdiction, for each Facility’s Real Property,
      executed by Seller, in recordable form, conveying that Facility’s Real
      Property to Buyer
      free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances except for the Permitted
      Encumbrances. In this regard, and except as specifically provided herein, Seller
      and Licensees will have no obligation to cure or otherwise remove or release
      any
      of the Permitted Encumbrances. As used herein, the term “ **Permitted
      Encumbrances** ”
shall
      mean covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, liens, encumbrances, rights
      of others and other title exceptions set forth on **Schedule
      1**  to this
      Agreement and encroachments and/or other matters disclosed on a survey of each
      Facility’s Real Property provided to Buyer that Buyer does not object to within
      ten (10) business days of receipt of such survey, however, Buyer shall have
      no
      right to object to survey matters that do not materially and adversely affect
      the use of the particular Facility **** but
      shall
      specifically exclude any title matters first arising or appearing of record
      after the date of this Agreement that could materially and adversely affect
      Purchaser’s use of the Facility, and all construction financing, mortgages,
      deeds of trust and monetary liens (including liens for delinquent taxes,
      mechanics’ liens and judgment liens) affecting each Facility’s Real Property and
      all indebtedness secured thereby, including the Secured Debt (collectively,
      the
“ **Existing
      Liens** ”)
      to be
      fully satisfied, released and discharged of record on or prior to the Closing
      Date so that Buyer shall take title to each Facility’s Real Property free of the
      same. The parties acknowledge that there are a number of Permitted Encumbrances
      that a title company (“ **Title
      Insurer”)** will
      customarily remove or insure over with affidavits from Seller and/or Licensees,
      clarifications from the Surveyor, or otherwise. In particular, the parties
      have
      designated with an asterisk those Permitted Encumbrances listed on **Schedule

      the Title Insurer to exclude or insure over the Designated Permitted Exceptions
      from the title policy to be issued to Buyer, including executing affidavits
      that
      are customary in such transactions, pursuing estoppel certificates and other
      matters that Seller and Licensee customarily perform to remove as exceptions
      to
      a title policy. However, Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges that the removal
      of
      any such Designated Permitted Exceptions is not a condition to
      Closing.

      All
      real estate taxes and assessments accruing on the Facilities in respect to
      the
      current fiscal year of the applicable taxing authority in which the Closing
      Date
      occurs (the “ **Current
      Tax Year** ”)
      shall
      be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date. Such real estate
      taxes and assessments shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the
      number of days in the Current Tax Year prior to the Closing Date (which shall
      be
      allocated to Seller) and the number of days in the Current Tax Year on and
      after
      the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Buyer). In addition to its
      pro-rata portion for the Current Tax Year, Seller shall be responsible for
      real
      estate taxes, assessments, and special assessments on the Facilities payable
      in
      respect to periods prior to the Current Tax Year, provided, however, if the
      tax
      bill from any prior year is not yet due and payable, Seller shall give Buyer
      a
      proration credit therefor. Upon the Closing Date and subject to the adjustment
      provided for above, Buyer shall be responsible for real estate taxes and
      assessments on the Facilities payable in respect to the Current Tax Year, all
      periods after the Current Tax Year, and all periods prior to the Current Tax
      Year, to the extent Seller gave Buyer a credit therefor.




**10.2.**  **Rents** .
      All
      rentals and other resident charges, including any community fees and
      reimbursements including reimbursements received from private, governmental
      or
      otherwise, received in respect to the month in which the Closing Date occurs
      (the “ **Current
      Month** ”),
      shall
      be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current
      Month, including the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to pro-rated
      portions for the remaining days in the Current Month. All rentals and other
      resident charges received by Buyer from a resident after the Closing Date shall
      be applied: first, to any rent due for a resident for the Current Month; second,
      to any accrued and unpaid rent of such resident for the month immediately
      preceding the Current Month; third, to any rent of the resident that has accrued
      after the Current Month; and fourth, to the balance of any accrued and unpaid
      rent of such resident. Consistent with Section 10.3 ,
      Buyer




22


shall
      promptly remit to Seller its share of any rentals and other resident charges
      received after the Closing Date in accordance with the proration set forth
      above. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such amounts
      for the benefit of Seller. No person or entity (other than Buyer) shall
      institute an action against any resident for delinquent rentals and other
      resident charges attributable to periods prior to the Current Month prior to
      90
      days after the Closing Date (“ **Restricted
      Collection Period** ”).
      After
      the expiration of the Restricted Collection Period, Seller and/or Licensees
      may
      undertake efforts to collect any remaining uncollected Retained Receivables.
      In
      no event shall Seller and Licensees be entitled to take any action against
      a
      resident which would result in a termination of any Admission Agreement or
      the
      resident’s right of occupancy thereunder.




**10.3.**  **Accounts
      Receivable** .
      To the
      extent permitted by law, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
      collect on Seller’s and Licensees’ behalf, all Retained Receivables relating to
      outstanding invoices that remain unpaid as of the Closing Date in accordance
      with Seller’s and Licensees’ customary practices for the collection of such
      amounts and shall remit any amounts received therefor to an account designated
      by Seller and Licensees on a weekly basis. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing:




(a)  **Third
      Party Payments** .
      Prior
      to the Closing Date, Licensees will contact the applicable Medicaid agent for
      all applicable Facilities and request that the agent mail or wire transfer
      such
      Medicaid payments directly to Licensees for all periods up to and including
      the
      Closing Date, it being understood that the applicable Medicaid agent will pay
      Buyer for services rendered after it receives its Operator Licenses and any
      applicable approvals required by Medicaid. Additionally, Licensees will contact
      the applicable regional offices for the Centers for Medicaid & Medicaid
      Services regarding Licensees’ electronic fund transfer of Medicare payments and
      request that all amounts due Licensees for services provided on or before the
      Closing Date be paid directly to Licensees, it being understood that the
      applicable Medicare intermediary will pay Buyer for services rendered after
      it
      receives any applicable approvals required by Medicare. Following Closing,
      Buyer
      shall promptly notify Licensees of receipt of any Medicaid or Medicare vendor
      payments that relate to the Facilities and that include any dates of service
      up
      to and including the Closing Date and Buyer shall promptly remit such funds
      to
      Licensees and Licensees shall promptly notify Buyer of receipt of any Medicaid
      or Medicare vendor payments that relate to the Facilities and that include
      any
      dates of service after the Closing Date and Seller and Licensees shall promptly
      remit such funds to Buyer, it being understood that Licensees’ obligation to
      remit Medicaid or Medicare vendor payments is not triggered until Buyer has
      obtained all applicable Medicare and Medicaid approvals necessary to receive
      such funds.




(b)  **Private
      Pay Payments** .
      Prior
      to the Closing Date, Seller and Licensees shall prepare and send to the private
      pay residents, patients or consumers their private pay invoices and any payments
      from a third party for all periods through and including the Closing Date,
      with
      instructions notifying the private pay residents or responsible party to make
      any such payment payable to Seller or such other party as Seller directs.




**10.4.**  **Operating
      Expenses** .
      All
      operating expenses (including all charges under Facility Agreements assumed
      by
      Buyer hereunder) payable or paid to each such service provider




23


in
      respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing
      Date
      occurs (the “ **Current
      Billing Period** ”),
      shall
      be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current
      Billing Period prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller
      and
      Licensees) and the number of days in the Current Billing Period on and after
      the
      Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Buyer), and assuming that all charges
      are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. Any amounts which
      have
      been prepaid by Seller and Licensees to a service provider or other contract
      party shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller and Licensees. At Closing,
      Buyer shall provide Seller and Licensees with a credit for the amount of such
      prepayment which is attributable to the term of such Service Contract which
      has
      not expired. If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable
      as
      of the Closing Date, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis
      based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt
      of actual bills.




**10.5.**  **Security
      Deposits; Prepaid Rents; Resident Inducements** .
      Buyer
      shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for (a) prepaid rentals and
      other resident charges, including any community fees for periods after the
      Current Month, and (b) any security deposits (including any portion thereof
      which may be designated as prepaid rent) made under Admission Agreements (and
      if
      applicable laws or any agreements require a landlord to be accountable for
      interest on such security deposits, any accrued interest owed thereon at the
      applicable legal rate).




**10.6.**  **Calculation** .
      The
      prorations and credits shall be made on the basis of a written statement
      approved by Buyer and Seller and Licensees. In the event any prorations or
      credits made under this Article 10 shall
      prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an
      adjustment to correct the same. Any item which cannot be finally prorated
      because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated
      on
      the basis of the best data then available and re-prorated when the information
      is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any re-proration shall be made,
      if
      at all, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (except with respect
      to
      taxes and assessments, in which case such re-proration shall be made within
      thirty (30) days after the information necessary to perform such re-proration
      is
      available).




**10.7.**  **Items
      Not Prorated** .
      Seller
      and Licensees and Buyer agree that (a) none of the insurance policies relating
      to the Facilities will be assigned to Buyer (and Seller and Licensees shall
      pay
      any cancellation fees or minimum earned premiums resulting from the termination
      of such policies) and Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for its own
      insurance as of the Closing Date; (b) utilities, including telephone,
      electricity, water and gas, shall be read on the Closing Date to the extent
      reasonably feasible; and (c) the Facilities will not be subject to any existing
      liens, other than those items listed as Permitted Encumbrances. Accordingly,
      there will be no prorations for insurance or utilities. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, in the event a meter reading is unavailable for any particular
      utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 10.4 above.




**11.**  **Casualty
      and Condemnation.** ****




**11.1.**  **Casualty.** If
      prior
      to the Closing one or more of the Facilities shall be damaged by fire or other
      casualty, then Buyer shall take the Sale Assets as is and Seller and Licensees
      hereby assign all insurance proceeds (including casualty and business
      interruption insurance), or the right to receive the same, and the rights to
      any
      other claims arising as a result of the damage,




24


and
      Buyer
      shall receive a credit at Closing equal to any deductible or uninsured amount
      related to such casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such casualty is
      a
      Material Event (as defined below), then Buyer, at its option, may terminate
      this
      Agreement by written notice to Seller and Licensees given on or before the
      Closing Date, and upon such termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer
      and the parties shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder. As
      used
      in this Article 11 ,
      a
“ **Material
      Event** ”
means
      either of the following: (a) a casualty resulting in damage or destruction
      to
      one or more of the Facilities, if the cost to restore the Facilities to the
      condition immediately prior to such casualty is reasonably estimated to exceed
      Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000); or (b) a taking or condemnation which
      would impede access to one or more Facilities, reduce available parking below
      that required by, or in general cause a violation of, any applicable law,
      Admission Agreement or Facility Agreement, or result in a condemnation award
      (“ **Condemnation
      Award** ”)
      reasonably estimated to exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000). Further,
      in
      the event of (i) a casualty resulting in damage or destruction to a Facility
      and
      the cost to restore the Facility to the condition immediately prior to such
      casualty is reasonably estimated to be in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand
      Dollars ($750,000) or (ii) there is a condemnation with respect to a Facility
      that a reasonable result would be a Condemnation Award in excess of Seven
      Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), then Buyer, at its option, may elect
      not to purchase the Facility subject to the casualty or condemnation and the
      Purchase Price of the Sale Assets will be reduced by the amount of the Purchase
      Price allocated to such Facility as determined in accordance with Section 2.2 .




**11.2.**  **Condemnation** . If prior
      to the Closing (a) less than substantially all of a Facility shall be taken
      by
      condemnation or eminent domain, (b) there is any material taking of land lying
      in the bed of any street or highway, open or proposed, in front of or adjoining
      all or any part of the Land, or (c) there is any change of grade or closing
      of
      any such street or highway abutting or adjacent to the Land, that in any such
      case would materially impair access to and from the Land or otherwise materially
      interfere with its occupancy and use as an assisted living or skilled nursing
      facility, then Buyer shall
      be
      entitled to no abatement of the Purchase Price by reason of such taking, change
      of grade, or closing, and the proceeds of, or right to any proceeds of, any
      award or payment in respect of such taking, change of grade, or closing are
      hereby assigned to Buyer at the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
      such
      taking is a Material Event, then Buyer, at its option, may terminate this
      Agreement by written notice to Seller and Licensees given on or before the
      Closing Date, and upon such termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer
      and the parties shall have no further liability or obligation
      hereunder.

      is
      required under the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act (the
“ **WARN

      or

      expense. Seller and Licensees, subject to Section 4.21 ,
      agrees
      to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all liabilities, costs or
      expenses associated with or arising from any WARN Act requirements. Anything
      to
      the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not be deemed to create
      or
      grant to any Facility Employee any third party beneficiary rights or claims
      or

      without the express written consent of the employee. Buyer, or its affiliates,
      shall hire all such terminated employees ( **“Terminated
      Employees”** ).
      Notwithstanding the above, Buyer may elect not to hire up to 49 Terminated
      Employees (such employees hired by Buyer, or its affiliate, as applicable,
      being
      referred to herein as the “ **Retained
      Employees** ”).




**12.3.**  **Health
      Insurance** .
      Buyer
      shall be responsible for providing all eligible Retained Employees with health
      care coverage on and after the Closing Date sufficient to extinguish any rights

      pay,

      shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all vacation pay, sick
      pay, paid leave time or other similar benefit owed to Facility Employees
      pursuant to established plans, programs, practices and arrangements accrued
      prior to the Closing Date.




**12.5.**  **Post
      Closing Liability** .
      Neither
      Buyer, nor any affiliate of Buyer, shall have any obligation to continue the
      employment of any Facility Employee and, subject to the terms of this Article 12 ,
      shall
      not be liable to any employee for any wages, salaries, bonuses, vacation days,
      sick days or personal days in which said Facility Employee may have acquired
      an
      accrued or




26


vested
      right by virtue of, or in connection with, their employment by Seller and
      Licensees. Seller and Licensees shall and hereby agree to indemnify and save
      Buyer, and its affiliates, harmless from and against any liability for wages,
      salaries, bonuses, accrued vacation days, sick days and personal days to be
      paid

      and
      Licensees shall also remain responsible for and hereby indemnifies and saves
      Buyer, and its affiliates, harmless from any severance pay which may become
      due
      to any of the Facility Employees whose employment ends at or prior to Closing

29


writing
      signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification,

      forth in such instrument. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
      Buyer
      shall have no obligation to make any payments to or on behalf of Seller and
      Licensees in connection with the transaction contemplated by this
      Agreement.




**20.2.**  **Construction** .
      This
      Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against
      the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel
      for one of the parties, it being recognized that each of Seller, Licensees
      and
      Buyer have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this
      Agreement. The headings of various sections in this Agreement are for
      convenience only, and are not to be utilized in construing the content or
      meaning of the substantive provisions hereof.




**20.3.**  **Knowledge** .
      The
      parties acknowledge that the day to day operations of the Facilities have not
      been managed by Seller and Licensees but by a management company under contract
      with a Licensee. Whenever any statement herein is made “to Seller’s and
      Licensees’ knowledge” or words of similar intent or effect of any party or
      representative, such person shall make such statement only if such facts and
      other information which, as of the date the representation is given, are
      actually known to the party making such statement, which with respect to Seller
      and Licensees means the knowledge of the President, Jay Hicks, and Treasurer,
      Robert N. Davies, without any independent investigation, other than consultation
      with the executive directors of each of the Facilities who are identified on **Exhibit
      T** .

      Invalidity** .
      The
      provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and severable, and the invalidity
      or partial invalidity or enforceability of any one provision shall not affect
      the validity of enforceability of any other provision hereof, provided that
      the
      intent and content of this Agreement are not substantially altered.




**20.6.**  **Conflict** .
      Notwithstanding there may have been a letter of interest executed by the
      parties, Buyer and Seller and Licensees agree that the letter of interest and
      anything contained therein shall have absolutely no effect upon or in any
      fashion have any influence on this Agreement.




**20.7.**  **Confidential
      Information; Publicity.** The
      parties agree to continue to be bound by the terms and provisions of that
      certain Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement dated as of July 27, 2006
      (the “ **Confidentiality
      Agreement** ”).  The
      Confidentiality Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by
      reference and made a part of this Agreement and shall survive the execution
      of
      this Agreement notwithstanding the terms thereof. If a conflict arises between
      the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Confidentiality
      Agreement, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall control. Except
      as
      otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange rules, press releases
      and
      other publicity concerning this transaction shall be made only with the prior
      agreement of Seller and Licensees and Buyer (and in any event, the parties
      shall
      use all reasonable efforts to consult and agree with each other with respect
      to
      the content of any such required press release or other publicity). Except
      as
      otherwise




30


required
      by law or applicable stock exchange rules, no such press releases or other
      publicity shall state the amount of the Purchase Price.




**20.8.**  **Consent
      to Jurisdiction** .
      The
      parties hereto irrevocably agree that all actions or proceedings in any way,
      manner or respect arising out of or from or related to this Agreement shall
      be
      litigated in Courts having situs within the State of Illinois. The parties
      hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction of any local, state or federal
      courts located within Ohio and consent that all such service of process be
      made
      by certified mail directed to the party at the address stated herein and service
      so made shall be deemed to be completed upon actual receipt thereof. The parties
      hereby waive any right they may have to transfer or change the venue of any
      litigation brought in accordance herewith.




**20.9.**  **Waiver
      of Trial by Jury** .
      The
      parties hereto knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive (to the fullest
      extent permitted by applicable law) any right they may have to a trial by jury
      of any dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement and agree that any
      such dispute shall be tried before a judge sitting without a jury.




**20.10.**  **Time
      of Essence** .

      of the essence of this Agreement and each and all of its
