(C)

Prior to Closing, Purchaser may obtain, at its expense, a current survey of the Real Property prepared and certified by a surveyor registered and licensed in the State of Indiana (the "Survey"). The legal description for documents necessary or appropriate to consummate the purchase or sale contemplated herein shall be based upon the Survey, as revised if applicable, provided the Survey shall be certified to Seller. The Survey shall be sufficient to enable the title insurer to delete the general exception relating to survey matters. Should the Survey disclose deficiencies unacceptable to Purchaser, other than Permitted Exceptions, Purchaser shall so notify Seller in writing not later than 10 days following Purchaser's receipt of the Survey and Seller shall be given a reasonable time

13 

(not to exceed 10 days) in which to correct any such deficiencies.

If Seller fails to correct such deficiencies or conditions within such time period, and the cost to correct all of such conditions exceeds $200,000, Purchaser may elect, as its sole remedy, to either (i) grant Seller additional time within which to cure any deficiency or condition, if Seller requests such additional time; or (ii) accept the Property in its existing condition; or (iii) terminate this Agreement and have returned to Purchaser all Earnest Money. If the cost to correct all of such deficiencies and conditions does not exceed $200,000, then if Seller shall fail to correct the same, Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and accept the Property in its existing condition and shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the reasonable cost of correcting such deficiency or condition.

By Purchaser pursuant to any right of termination specifically set forth in this Agreement;

(B)

If (a) Seller fails in any respect to comply with, fulfill or perform any covenant, term or condition to be complied with, fulfilled or performed by it under this Agreement, and does not cure such failure within ten (1.0) days after receipt of notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller, or (b) Seller fails or refuses to consummate the Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, other than by reason of non-fulfillment of any Seller Condition (any such event being in subparts (a) or (b) being referred to herein as a "Seller Default"), or (c) any Purchaser Condition is not either fulfilled within the period specified herein or waived by Purchaser, then, and in any such event, Purchaser shall have the right, at its election, and in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under this Section, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, by notice to Seller, in which event all liabilities and obligations of the parties hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein and for Seller's liability for damages for a Seller Default, shall cease.

RECITALS.

A.

Purchaser and Seller (collectively, "Interested Parties") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (Scottsburg Healthcare Center) ("Purchase Agreement"; each capitalized term used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined having the definition used in the Purchase Agreement) dated October _, 2008, pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to acquire from Seller substantially all the assets associated with the nursing facility commonly known as Scottsburg Healthcare Center("Sale  Assets"), and on the same date Purchaser and Scottsburg Healthcare, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, entered into an Operations Transfer Agreement whereby Purchaser would assume operation of Scottsburg Healthcare Center ("Transfer Agreement"; the Purchase Agreement and the Transfer Agreement collectively referred to as the "Scottsburg Agreements").

B.

Purchaser and Seller wish to pay a portion of the consideration for the Property into escrow as a source of payment for certain indemnification claims that may arise pursuant to either of the Scottsburg Agreements.

C.

The parties wish to engage Escrow Agent to act, and Escrow Agent is willing to act, as escrow agent hereunder and, in that capacity, to hold, administer and distribute the amounts deposited in escrow hereunder in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I Definitions. Any initially-capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE II

Deposit of Escrow Property.

On the date hereof, Purchaser has deposited with Escrow Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of $100,000 (the "Escrow Deposit"), and Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Deposit and agrees to hold the Escrow Property in an interest bearing account 

established with Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Account"), and to administer the Escrow Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III Claims and Payment; Release from Escrow.

SECTION 1. Indemnification Payments. If Purchaser believes it is entitled to be compensated pursuant to the indemnification provisions of either of the Scottsburg Agreements, Purchaser shall give a written payment notice to that effect ("Payment Notice"), specifying the amount for which the Purchaser Indemnified Party is claiming indemnification (or Purchaser's good faith estimate of such amount, in the event the underlying claim or liability is not then liquidated or determined), to Escrow Agent and Seller. Escrow Agent shall pay Purchaser the amount set forth in such Payment Notice from the Escrow Property (i) within five business days after receipt by Escrow Agent of such Payment Notice if Seller has counter-signed and thereby joined in such Payment Notice, or (ii) if Seller has not counter-signed such Payment Notice, on the fifteenth business day after delivery of such Payment Notice, unless Seller has contested Purchaser's right to such payment by delivering to Escrow Agent and Purchaser a written dispute notice (a "Dispute Notice"), specifying in reasonable detail the basis for contesting the payment, in which case paragraph (e) of this Section 3 shall apply. Payment of any amount as provided for in this Section 3(a) shall be applied to satisfy an indemnification obligation owed by the Shareholders to any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (including, without limitation, those other than Purchaser) under the Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 2. Third Party Claims. If Seller does not assume, or have the right to assume, the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in Section 10.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement, or if Purchaser is entitled pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Purchase Agreement to participate at the expense of Seller in the defense of such Third Party Claim, then Purchaser shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Escrow Property from time to time for its expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys fees, incurred in the defense of such Third Party Claim.

SECTION 3. Scheduled Releases. Subject to the second sentence of this Section, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date ("First Release Date") Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of the Escrow Deposit, and on the second anniversary of the Closing Date ("Second Release Date") Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the remainder of funds in the Escrow Account. If claims are pending against the Escrow Property on either the First Release Date or the Second Release Date, then Escrow Agent shall disburse only the difference, if any, between the amount otherwise distributable to Seller on such date and the aggregate amount of such claims. The balance (the "Escrow Balance") shall be retained in escrow hereunder. Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Balance to Seller only as, when and if Escrow Agent is notified pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 3(e) that such claims have resolved

SECTION 4. Dispute Notices. If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 3, the payment disputed in such Dispute Notice shall remain pending but shall not be made unless and until Escrow Agent (i) is notified in a written payment notice signed by Purchaser and Seller that such dispute has been settled and specifying such settlement, or (ii) Purchaser or Seller presents to Escrow Agent a final non-appealable judgment entered by any court and certified or otherwise authenticated by the clerk or other authorized official of such court resolving such alleged disputed payment. Upon such delivery, Escrow

26

Agent shall promptly distribute the relevant portion of the Escrow Property in accordance therewith.

SECTION 5. No Verification Required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Escrow Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to verify any of the information set forth in any Payment Notice or Dispute Notice, including, but not limited to, whether the information set forth in such notice is set forth in reasonable detail or whether any of the information is accurate or correct.

The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold Purchaser harmless shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 4. Seller shall provide Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers of each Shareholder by delivery of duly executed Forms W-9 (or Forms W-8, in case of non-U.S. persons) prior to the date on which any income earned on the investment of the Escrow Account is credited to the Escrow Account.

(b)

the Escrow Agent's duties and responsibilities shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, as amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

(c)

no assignment of the interest of any party or their respective successors shall be binding upon the Escrow Agent unless and until written evidence of such assignment in form reasonably satisfactory to the Escrow Agent shall be filed with and accepted by the Escrow Agent;

(e)

the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any determination, award, decision, order, judgment or decree of any arbitrators or court and any certification, opinion, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or service thereof;

(k)

if the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights under this Agreement or shall receive instructions with respect to any property held by it in escrow pursuant to this Agreement which, in the good faith opinion of the Escrow Agent, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, then the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by Purchaser and Seller or a Final Order; and

(1) except with respect to claims based upon or incurred due to the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable under this Agreement for, and Purchaser and Seller shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless as to, any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, paid or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent's duties under this Agreement.

No term or provision of this Agreement is intended to create, nor shall any such term or provision be deemed to have created, any principal-agent, trust, joint venture, partnership, debtor-creditor or attorney-client relationship between or among the Escrow Agent and the Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand. This Agreement shall not be deemed to prohibit or in any way restrict the Escrow Agent's representation (in its capacity as legal counsel) of Seller or any of its affiliates, any of whom may be advised and/or represented by the Escrow Agent on any and all matters pertaining to this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent's duties and obligations hereunder are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may exercise or otherwise enforce any of its rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests under this Agreement and applicable law or perform any of its duties under this Agreement by or through its partners, employees, attorneys, agents or designees. To the extent that Seller may be represented by the Escrow Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser hereby waives any conflict of interest that may exist or occur as a result of such representation and consents to the continued representation of Seller and/or its affiliates by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

9.

The Escrow Agent and its designees, and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, attorneys and agents, shall not incur any liability whatsoever for the disposition of Escrow Fund or the taking of any other action or omission to act with respect to this Agreement, for compliance with any applicable law or regulation or any attachment, order or other directive of any court or other authority (irrespective of any conflicting term or provision of the Purchase Agreement), or for any mistake or error in judgment of the Escrow Agent or any act or omission of any other person engaged by the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than for the Escrow Agent's or such other person's mistakes, errors in judgment, acts or omissions which constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct).

10.
