(ii)if such Eligible Employee does not execute and deliver a separation agreement and release in a form attached as Exhibit 4 hereto (each, a “Separation Agreement”);

The Debtor has made available to ProMedica complete and correct copies of the Debtor’s and its material Subsidiaries’ certificates of incorporation and by-laws or comparable governing documents, each as amended to the date of this Agreement, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to the Debtor means a change, event or occurrence that has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties, assets, liabilities, business or results of operations of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that none of the following, and no changes, events, occurrences or effects, to the extent arising out of or resulting from any of the following, shall constitute or be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or may, would or could occur with respect to the Debtor:

(i)changes in or generally affecting the economy, credit, capital or financial markets or political conditions generally in the United States or elsewhere in the world, including changes in interest and exchange rates, or changes that are the result of acts of war (whether or not declared), armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism, any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war (whether or not declared), epidemics, pandemics, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados or other natural disasters;

(ii)changes that are the result of factors generally affecting the industries in which the Debtor and its Subsidiaries operate or in which the services of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries are used and distributed;

(iii)any loss of, or adverse change or effect in, the relationship of the Debtor with its customers, employees, financing sources or suppliers, caused by entry into or the pendency or the announcement of the Transactions;

(iv)changes from the entry into, announcement or performance of this Agreement (including any litigation arising from allegations of any breach of fiduciary duty or violation of Law relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, or compliance by the Debtor with the terms of this Agreement);

9

(v)changes or prospective changes in United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or in any law, statute, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement or the interpretation or enforcement thereof;

(vi)any failure by the Debtor to meet any projections, forecasts or estimates of revenues or earnings for any period, provided that the exception in this clause shall not (on its own) prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, event or occurrence underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect;

(vii)(A) any action taken by the Debtor or its Subsidiaries at ProMedica’s written request or (B) the failure to take any action by the Debtor or its Subsidiaries if that action is prohibited by this Agreement to the extent that ProMedica fails to give its consent after receipt of a written request therefor;

4.7Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)From and after the Closing Date, each of ProMedica and the Debtor agrees that it will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (whether or not incurred in connection with any Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) arising out of or related to such Indemnified Party’s service or status as an officer or director of the Debtor or one of its Subsidiaries or any action or inaction on the part of any such Person in such capacity, in each case, as of prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent such Indemnified Party would be permitted to be indemnified by the Debtor or its applicable Subsidiary under applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Debtor or its applicable Subsidiary in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b)Prior to or as of the Closing Date, the Debtor shall (after reasonable consultation with ProMedica) and, if the Debtor is unable to, ProMedica shall cause the Debtor as of the Closing Date to obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” insurance policies for the extension of (i) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the existing fiduciary liability insurance policies of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Closing Date (the “Tail Period”) from

37

an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Debtor’s insurance carrier as of the date hereof with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the Debtor’s existing policies with respect to any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided that in no event shall the aggregate cost of the D&O Insurance exceed during the Tail Period 300% of the current aggregate annual premiums paid by the Debtor for such insurance. If the Debtor for any reason fails to obtain such insurance policies as of the Closing Date, the Debtor shall, and ProMedica shall cause the Debtor to, continue to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Debtor’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Debtor shall, and ProMedica shall cause the Debtor to, use reasonable best efforts to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for the Tail Period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Debtor’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual cost of the D&O Insurance exceed during the Tail Period 150% of the current aggregate annual premiums paid by the Debtor for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Debtor shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. From and after the Closing Date, except as required by applicable Law, ProMedica shall cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of each of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties with respect to limitation of liabilities, advancement of expenses and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in each of such documents of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries. In the event of any Proceeding or investigation for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.7, (A) Debtor shall, and ProMedica shall cause the Debtor and its Subsidiaries to, defend the Indemnified Party with respect to any such Proceeding or investigation and (B) ProMedica shall not, and shall cause the Debtor and its Subsidiaries not to, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding or investigation pending or threatened in writing to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder) without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or investigation. ProMedica agrees that all rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing as provided in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries and any indemnification agreements entered into prior to the date hereof, including provisions relating to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any Proceeding or investigation, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Such rights shall not be amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any of the Indemnified Parties for any acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of each affected Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

38

(c)Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 4.7, upon learning of any such Proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify ProMedica and the Debtor thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve ProMedica or the Debtor of any Liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party.

(d)If ProMedica or the Debtor or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of ProMedica or the Debtor shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.7.

(e)The provisions of this Section 4.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(f)The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 4.7 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws. All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or comparable governing documents of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Transactions and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(g)ProMedica and the Debtor hereby acknowledge that the Indemnified Parties have or may, in the future, have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Persons other than ProMedica, the Debtor or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors” and, individually, an “Other Indemnitor”) with respect to Proceedings or investigations that are the subject of Section 4.7(a). The Debtor hereby agrees that if any advancement or indemnification obligation is owed, at any time, to an Indemnified Party for the same Proceeding or investigation by both (i) ProMedica or the Debtor, including under Section 4.7(a), and (ii) any Other Indemnitor (whether pursuant to any certificate of incorporation, by-laws or comparable organizational documents, indemnification agreement or other agreements), the Debtor shall (and if it is unable or fails to honor its obligations under this Section 4.7, ProMedica shall) be primarily liable for indemnification and advancement of expenses to such Indemnified Parties in respect of such Proceeding or investigation, and any obligation of an Other Indemnitor to provide indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be secondary to the obligations of the Debtor (or if it is unable or fails to honor its obligations under this Section 4.7, ProMedica) under this Section 4.7. ProMedica and the Debtor irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims (A) against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect of the indemnification arrangements provided to such Indemnified Parties by such Other Indemnitors and (B) that the Indemnified Party must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from

39

any Other Indemnitor before ProMedica and the Debtor must perform their expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. If any Other Indemnitor pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts otherwise indemnifiable or subject to advancement under this Section 4.7, then (1) such Other Indemnitor shall be fully subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Parties with respect to the payments actually made and (2) the Debtor shall reimburse the Other Indemnitor for the payments actually made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, ProMedica’s rights against the Debtor for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect of the indemnification arrangements provided by ProMedica and Debtor to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 4.7 are hereby preserved.

4.8Confidentiality. Unless and until Closing occurs, no party hereto shall disclose any information provided to such party or its Representatives pursuant to Section 4.3 or any other provision of this Agreement, or any non-public information related to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transactions, other than (a) disclosure to such party’s Representatives (provided that such Representatives agree to comply with this Section 4.8 as if they were a party hereto and that such party shall be responsible for any Representative of such party to so comply with this Section 4.8), (b) as required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any rules of any national securities exchange, the SEC or by the request of any Governmental Entity, and (c) subject to reasonable customary confidentiality arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Debtor, any Person who expresses a bona fide interest in acquiring all or part of the Business or any business entities, properties or assets of the Debtors and its Subsidiaries following the Closing, including any potential joint venture partner (a “Potential Acquiror”) and actual or potential purchasers, replacement tenants, third-party operators or other partners of ProMedica with respect to the remarketing of the Leased Facilities pursuant to the SNF/AL Remarketing Process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall in any way limit any existing rights of any party to the Master Lease to use or disclose information under the terms of the Master Lease.

4.9Financing.

(a)The Debtor shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to provide and direct its and their respective Representatives to use their respective reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by ProMedica in connection with the arrangement, syndication and consummation of any debt financing by ProMedica or its Subsidiaries and the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries, any equity financing of ProMedica or any minority investment in the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries (not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the fully-diluted equity of the Debtor or such Subsidiary) including the refinancing of the indebtedness under the Centerbridge Facility, whether at the Debtor, ProMedica or any of their Subsidiaries (such financing, the “Financing”).

51

(b)           if any condition set forth in Section 6.1 shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Termination Date other than as a result of a material breach by the Debtor or QCP, as applicable, of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and such condition is not waived by the Debtor or QCP, as applicable.

ARTICLE VIII

Miscellaneous and General

8.1         No Survival; Effect of Termination and Abandonment.

(a)         Except as provided in Section 8.1(b) below, in the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Transactions pursuant to ARTICLE VII, this Agreement shall become void and be of no effect with no liability to any Person on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its Representatives or Affiliates); provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, that (i) no such termination shall relieve any party of any liability or damages resulting from any fraud by such party or Willful Breach of this Agreement on the part of such party occurring prior to such termination and (ii) the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, ProMedica’s expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations set forth in Section 4.9(d) and the agreements of the parties contained in Section 4.4 (Publicity), Section 4.6 (Expenses) and Section 4.8 (Confidentiality) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Willful Breach” shall mean a material breach of, or failure to perform, any of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement (including failure to close the Transactions in accordance with Section 1.4) that is a consequence of an act, or failure to act, by the breaching or non-performing Person with actual knowledge, or knowledge that a Person acting reasonably under the circumstances would reasonably be expected to have, that such Person’s act or failure to act would, or would be reasonably expected to, result in or constitute a breach of, or failure of, performance under this Agreement.

(b)         Waiver; Automatic Stay. The failure of a party to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement under, or the extension of any time period in, any provision of ARTICLE

53

VII at any time will not constitute a waiver of any such right. The Debtor hereby waives any requirement that ProMedica or QCP seek or obtain relief from the automatic stay under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of providing notice under, or terminating, this Agreement, and the Debtor agrees not to object to ProMedica or QCP seeking, if necessary, to lift the automatic stay in connection therewith.

(c)           This ARTICLE VIII and the agreements of the Debtor and ProMedica contained in Section 4.7 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) shall survive the consummation of the Transactions. All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive consummation of the Transactions and, from and after the Closing Date, no party shall have any claim against any other party for breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein.

8.2          Modification or Amendment. Subject to the provisions of applicable Laws, at any time prior to the Closing Date, the parties hereto may modify or amend this Agreement, by written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the respective parties.

8.3          Waiver of Conditions. The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Laws.

8.4          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.

8.5          GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

(a)           THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the Transactions, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such Proceeding or transactions shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any

54

such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.6 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to jurisdiction in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, each of the parties hereby agrees that during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Case, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

(b)           EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.5.

(c)           The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, during the Bankruptcy Case, in the Bankruptcy Court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity, and that it waives any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any such remedy.

8.6          Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other parties shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, by facsimile or overnight courier:

8.7          Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto), the Debtor Disclosure Letter and the Alternative Restructuring Support Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PROMEDICA, THE

57

LESSORS NOR THE DEBTOR MAKES OR RELIES ON ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDUCEMENTS, AND EACH HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDUCEMENTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATED TO THE DEBTOR, THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY OTHER MATTER, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE BY, OR MADE AVAILABLE BY, ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING. No party shall be bound by, or be liable for, any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention not contained herein.

8.8          No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Recourse. Except as provided in Section 4.7 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) and Section 8.15 (Certain Waivers) only, ProMedica, the Lessors and the Debtor hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 8.3 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Debtor, ProMedica or the Lessors under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

8.9          Obligations of ProMedica and of the Debtor. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of ProMedica to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of ProMedica to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

58

Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Debtor to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Debtor to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

8.10        Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by ProMedica when due, and ProMedica will indemnify the Debtor against liability for any such Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, responsibility for the payment of any real property transfer taxes that are payable as a result of the consummation of the Merger shall be as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

8.11        Definitions. Each of the terms set forth in Annex A is defined in the Section of this Agreement set forth opposite such term.

8.12        Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

8.13        Interpretation; Construction. The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, Annex or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Annex or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

(a)           The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(b)           The Debtor and ProMedica have or may have set forth information in the Debtor Disclosure Letter in a section of such Debtor Disclosure Letter that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Debtor Disclosure Letter to this Agreement shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

8.14        Assignment. This Agreement shall not be, directly or indirectly, assignable by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) ProMedica Parent may designate, by written notice to the Debtor and QCP, another

59

wholly-owned direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary to be a party in lieu of Purchaser (provided that such Subsidiary remains wholly-owned by ProMedica Parent through the Closing Date), in which event all references herein to Purchaser shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided that any such designation shall not violate the Merger Agreement, materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise materially impede the rights of the stockholders of the Debtor under this Agreement and (ii) the Merger Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby shall not constitute an assignment of this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void and such designation shall not relieve ProMedica of any obligation or liability hereunder. The sale or transfer by ProMedica of any direct or indirect equity interest in Purchaser shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement.

8.15        Certain Waivers. ProMedica and the Debtor (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) acknowledge that Latham & Watkins LLP and other legal counsel (“Prior Debtor Counsel”) have, on or prior to the Closing Date, represented (i) the Carlyle Holders in connection with the Transactions and (ii) the Debtor and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates in one or more matters, including relating to this Agreement and the Transactions (each, an “Existing Representation”), and that, in the event of any post-Closing matters (x) relating to this Agreement or any other agreements or Transactions (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) and (y) in which ProMedica or any of its Affiliates (including the Debtor and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and any Carlyle Holder or any of its Affiliates (each, a “Designated Person”), on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a “Post-Closing Matter”), the Designated Persons reasonably anticipate that Prior Debtor Counsel will represent them in connection with such matters. Accordingly, ProMedica and the Debtor (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby (i) waive and shall not assert, and agree after the Closing to cause their Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more Prior Debtor Counsel of one or more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (the “Post-Closing Representations”), and (ii) agree that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, Prior Debtor Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in the Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to ProMedica or any of its Affiliates (including the Debtor and its Subsidiaries), and even though Prior Debtor Counsel may (i) have represented the Debtor or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (ii) be currently representing the Debtor or any of its respective Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, ProMedica and the Debtor (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consent to the disclosure by Prior Debtor Counsel, in connection with one or more Post-Closing Representations, to the Designated Persons of any information learned by Prior Debtor Counsel in the course of one or more Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries or Prior Debtor Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing. The Carlyle Holders and Latham & Watkins LLP are intended third-party beneficiaries, and are relying on the provisions of, of this Section 8.15.

60

8.16        No Solicitation. This Agreement, the Transactions and the Amended Plan are the product of negotiations among the parties, together with their respective representatives. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of the Amended Plan or any plan of reorganization for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

8.17        Settlement Discussions. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to the agreement of the parties, Federal Rule of Evidence 408, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement, all exhibits, schedules and appendices hereto, and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that all such compromises or settlements are in the best interests (i) of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Estate and their respective property, and (ii) Claim and Interest holders, and are fair, equitable and reasonable.

ARTICLE VI:

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND INSURANCE POLICIES

6.1.Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts. On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts of the Debtor will be deemed assumed in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) upon the Plan Sponsor’s prior written consent or request, is subject to a motion to reject such Executory Contract filed prior to the Effective Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions and the rejection of any Executory Contract for which a motion to reject has been filed, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Article VI shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption. Any motions to assume or reject Executory Contracts pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract, including any “change of control” provision, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.

24

6.2.No Cure Obligations. There are no anticipated cure obligations with respect to any Executory Contract to which the Debtor is a party. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments shall be required to cure any defaults of the Debtor existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to any Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Plan. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that (i) each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate, and (ii) the requirements of section 365(b)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed satisfied.

6.3.Insurance Policies and Agreements. Insurance policies issued to, or insurance agreements entered into by, the Debtor prior to the Petition Date (including, without limitation, any policies covering directors’ or officers’ conduct) shall continue in effect after the Effective Date. To the extent that such insurance policies or agreements are considered to be Executory Contracts, this Plan shall constitute a motion to assume or ratify such insurance policies and agreements, and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments shall be required to cure any defaults of the Debtor existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy.

6.4.Postpetition Contracts and Leases. All contracts, agreements and leases that were entered into by the Debtor or assumed by the Debtor after the Petition Date shall be deemed assigned by the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date.

6.5.Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements or Other Agreements. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan. Modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts that have been executed by the Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract, or the validity, priority or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

ARTICLE VII:

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1.Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date. Unless the Holder of an Allowed Claim and the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor agree to a different date, and except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of each Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date shall be made as set forth in the provisions of the Plan governing the treatment of such Claim or as soon thereafter as practicable.

25

7.2.Distributions on Account of Claims that Become Allowed after the Effective Date. Unless the Holder of a Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date and the Reorganized Debtor agrees to a different date, and except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions on account of Claims that become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made on the later of (a) the date such Claim becomes Allowed and (b) as set forth in the provisions of the Plan governing the treatment of such Claim or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

7.3.Distributions by Reorganized Debtor. Other than as specifically set forth in this Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall make, or cause to be made, all distributions required to be made under this Plan.

7.4.Means of Cash Payment. Payments of Cash made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtor, by (a) checks drawn on or (b) wire transfers from a bank selected by the Reorganized Debtor. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of the Reorganized Debtor, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

7.5.Withholding and Reporting Requirements. In connection with this Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Reorganized Debtor shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes or establishing such other mechanisms that the Reorganized Debtor believes are reasonable and appropriate. All persons holding Claims or Interests shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes. Each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution pursuant to this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. No distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtor for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

7.6.Compliance Matters. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, reserves the right to allocate and distribute all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, Liens and similar encumbrances.

7.7.Setoff and Recoupment. The Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to sections 553 and/or 558 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy laws, but shall not be required to, set off and/or recoup against any Claim the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim, or claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to assert such rights of setoff and/or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder

26

shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may assert against any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

7.8.Reinstated Claims. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing shall affect, diminish or impair the Debtor’s or the Reorganized Debtor’s rights and defenses, both legal and equitable, with respect to any Reinstated Claim, including, but not limited to, legal and equitable rights of setoff and/or recoupment against the Holders of any Reinstated Claims; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Credit Facility Claims or Intercompany Note Claims, each of which is Allowed in full under this Plan without defenses, counterclaims, setoff or recoupment. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Unimpaired Claim in Classes 1, 2, 5 (other than a Claim in Class 5 arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract) and, solely in the event the Closing of the Alternative Transaction occurs, Class 7, not paid in full in Cash by the Debtor on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable shall constitute a Reinstated Claim.

7.9.Undeliverable or Non-Negotiated Distributions. If any distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to the applicable Holder shall be made unless and until the Reorganized Debtor is notified in writing of such Holder’s then-current address, at which time the undelivered distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest or dividends. All undeliverable distributions under the Plan that remain unclaimed for one year after attempted distribution shall indefeasibly revert to the Reorganized Debtor. Upon such reversion, the relevant Allowed Claim (and any Claim on account of missed distributions) shall be automatically discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Checks issued on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 180 calendar days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check must be made directly and in writing to the Reorganized Debtor by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim within the 180-calendar-day period. After such date, the relevant Allowed Claim (and any Claim for reissuance of the original check) shall be deemed undeliverable as of the date of the original issuance of the check and shall indefeasibly revert to the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

7.10.Claims Paid by Third Parties. To the extent a Holder receives a distribution on account of a Claim and also receives payment from a party that is not the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within thirty calendar days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of the Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

In accordance with the foregoing, except as expressly provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination, as of the Effective Date, of the discharge of all non-Reinstated Claims or other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies, causes of action or liabilities, pursuant to sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such discharge shall void and extinguish any judgment obtained against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its respective assets, property and Estate at any time, to the extent such judgment is related to a discharged Claim, debt, liability or Interest. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Persons or Entities who have held, hold or may hold Claims or Interests that arose prior to the Effective Date and all other parties-in-interest, along with their respective present or former employees, agents, officers, directors, principals, representatives and Affiliates, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from (i) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind with respect to any such Claim (including a Section 510(b) Claim) against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtor or property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to the Plan, (ii) the enforcement, attachment, collection or recovery by any manner or means of any judgment, award, decree or order against the Reorganized Debtor or property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to this Plan, (iii) creating, perfecting or enforcing any Lien or encumbrance of any kind against the Reorganized Debtor or against the property or interests in property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to this Plan or (iv) asserting any right of setoff or subrogation of any kind against any obligation due from the Reorganized Debtor or against the property or interests in property of the Reorganized Debtor, with respect to any such Claim or Interest. Such injunction shall extend to any successors or assignees of the Reorganized Debtor and their respective properties and interest in properties. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 9.2.2 shall not apply with respect to Claims that are Reinstated under this Plan, including, without limitation, the Credit Facility Claims (if the Closing of the Alternative transaction does not occur) and the Intercompany Note Claim, as applicable.

9.3.Releases by the Debtor. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, each of the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor on its own behalf and as a representative of its respective Estate, shall, and shall be deemed to,

30

completely and forever release, waive, void, extinguish and discharge unconditionally, each and all of the Released Parties of and from any and all Claims and Causes of Action (including, without limitation, Avoidance Actions), any and all other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, direct or derivative, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise that are or may be based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other circumstance taking place or existing on or prior to the Effective Date (including prior to the Petition Date) in connection with or related to the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, their respective assets and property, and the Estate, the Chapter 11 Case, this Plan, the Plan Supplement or the Disclosure Statement that may be asserted by or on behalf of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or the Estate against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.3 shall be construed to release any party from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a Final Order.

9.4.Releases by Certain Holders of Claims. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, each Holder of a Claim or an Interest that votes to accept this Plan shall be deemed to have completely and forever released, waived, and discharged unconditionally each of the Released Parties of and from any and all Claims, any and all other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, those arising under the Bankruptcy Code), whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, direct or derivative, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise that are or may be based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other circumstance taking place or existing on or prior to the Effective Date (including prior to the Petition Date) in connection with or related to the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or their respective assets and property, and the Estate, the Chapter 11 Case, this Plan, the Plan Supplement, and/or the Disclosure Statement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.4 shall be construed to release (x) any party from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a Final Order, (y) any Reinstated Claim including, without limitation, the Credit Facility Claims (if the Closing of the alternative Transaction does not occur) and the Intercompany Note Claims, as applicable or (z) any obligations under the Plan Sponsor Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

31

Plan, the consummation of this Plan, the administration of this Plan, the property to be distributed under this Plan, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Alternative Plan Sponsor Agreement, the Original Plan Sponsor Agreement, or any other act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with or in contemplation of the Chapter 11 Case or implementation of this Plan; provided, however, that this Section 9.5 shall not apply to release (x) obligations under this Plan, and obligations under the Alternative Plan Sponsor Agreement, the Original Plan Sponsor Agreement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Alternative Master Lease or the Original Master Lease (as applicable), the Merger Agreement and the contracts, instruments, releases, agreements, and documents delivered, Reinstated or assumed under this Plan (including, without limitation, the Credit Facility (if the Closing of the Alternative Transaction does not occur) and the Intercompany Note, as applicable), and (y) any Claims or Causes of Action arising out of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a Final Order.

Any of the Exculpated Parties shall be entitled to rely, in all respects, upon the reasonable and informed advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under this Plan.

The obligations of the Debtor to indemnify and exculpate any past and present directors, officers, agents, employees and representatives who provided services to the Debtor prior to or after the Petition Date, pursuant to certificates or articles of incorporation, by-laws, contracts and/or applicable statutes, in respect of all actions, suits and proceedings against any of such officers, directors, agents, employees and representatives, based upon any act or omission related to service with, for or on behalf of the Debtor, shall not be discharged or Impaired by Confirmation or consummation of this Plan and shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.7 affects only the obligations of the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor with respect to any indemnity or exculpation owed to or for the benefit of past and present directors, officers, agents, employees and representatives of the Debtor, and shall have no effect on nor in any way discharge or reduce, in whole or in part, any obligation of any other Person, including any provider of director and officer insurance, owed to or for the benefit of such past and present directors, officers, agents, employees and representatives of the Debtor. For further avoidance of doubt, the provisions regarding indemnification, exculpation and directors’ and officers’ insurance contained in section 4.7 of the Plan Sponsor Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into this Plan as if set forth fully herein.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the scope of discharge of all Claims and Interests arising prior to the Effective Date under sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, or limit the Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s rights under section

33

525 of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing in the Confirmation Order or this Plan shall affect any setoff or recoupment rights of any Governmental Unit.

9.10.Receivership Complaint. The Receivership Complaint shall be deemed dismissed with prejudice as of the Effective Date.
