6.4 CLOSING ACCOUNTING.
6.4.1Seller has prepared and Purchaser has accepted, subject to its review
and approval of the Final Closing Accounting, the accounting ("Closing
Accounting") attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E-2. The Closing
Accounting is based upon Seller's estimate of the financial position
of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and sets forth the following: (i)
the amount of all Financing Reserves (by entity), (ii) the amount of
all Security Deposit Reserves (by Community), (iii) the amount of
Security Deposits (by entity), (iv) the estimated amount of Net
Current Assets (consolidated for the Company and the Subsidiaries),
other than cash, and (v) the amount of cash (consolidated for the
Company and the Subsidiaries), other than petty cash and similar
amounts maintained at each Community. Upon request, Seller shall make
available to Purchaser reasonable back-up (including Current Assets
and Current Liabilities by Community) of the matters set forth in the
Closing Accounting. The Closing Accounting shall estimate assets and
liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the
fifth 4-week accounting period in Seller's fiscal year, and shall be
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
6.4.2On or before the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following
the Closing Date, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser a final accounting
("Final Closing Accounting") which shall be based upon the actual
financial position of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the
Closing Date, and shall set forth the following: (i) the amount of all
Financing Reserves (by entity), (ii) the amount of all Security
Deposit Reserves (by Community), (iii) the amount of Security Deposits
(by entity), and (iv) the amount of Net Current Assets (by entity),
including all cash. The Final Closing Accounting shall be accompanied
by a report of Seller's Accountants, based upon agreed-upon procedures
determined by Seller and Purchaser promptly following Closing. Upon
request, Seller shall make available to Purchaser reasonable back-up
(including Current Assets and Current Liabilities by Community) of the
matters set forth in the Final Closing Accounting. The Final Closing
Accounting shall estimate assets and liabilities of the Company and
the Subsidiaries as of 12:01 am on the Closing Date, and shall be
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Purchaser shall cause the Company to
permit Seller and Seller's Accountants to have access during normal
business hours to the records of the Company and the Subsidiaries
reasonably requested by them for purposes of analyzing the Final
Closing Accounting.
6.4.3Following the delivery of the proposed Final Closing Accounting to
Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right to cause Purchaser's
Accountants to review and/or audit the proposed Final Closing
Accounting. Seller shall permit the Purchaser's Accountants to have
access during normal business hours to all of the working papers,
analyses and schedules of the Sellers' Accountants utilized or
prepared in connection with the preparation of the Final Closing
Accounting. Within the 45-day period after receipt of the proposed
Final Closing Accounting from Seller, Purchaser shall, in a written
notice to Seller, either accept the proposed Final Closing Accounting
or describe in reasonable detail any proposed adjustments to such
proposed Final Closing Accounting and the reasons therefor. If Seller
has not received such notice of proposed adjustments within such 45-
day period, Purchaser shall be deemed irrevocably to have accepted the
proposed Final Closing Accounting.
6.4.4Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any
disputes over any proposed adjustments to the Final Closing
Accounting. In the event that Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree
with respect to the Final Closing Accounting, within seven (7) days of
Seller's receipt, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree upon an
independent public accounting firm, which shall make a determination
of such dispute based on not more than two rounds of presentations by
Seller and Purchaser and not by independent review. The findings of
such firm, which shall not exceed in amount the amount claimed by
either party as to any matter in dispute, shall be conclusive and
binding upon Seller and Purchaser for purposes of this Agreement. The
fees and expenses of such firm shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by
Purchaser. Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay to the other
such amounts as may be required by the determination of the
independent accounting firm, together with interest thereon at the
Interest Rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds on or before the date
which is five (5) Business Days after such determination.
6.4.5Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Purchase Price calculated at
Closing pursuant to Exhibit E-1 assumes that Net Current Assets exceed
the Net Current Assets Target by an amount equal to estimated cash on
hand (other than petty cash and similar amounts maintained at the
Communities), which cash is reduced by the Minority Percentage
Interest. If the Final Closing Accounting indicates Net Current Assets
exceeded the Net Current Assets Target (as determined in Section 6.12)
by more than the Net Current Assets calculation used at Closing, then
the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess
(reduced by the Minority Percentage Interest) and Purchaser shall pay
to Seller the amount of such excess (as so reduced), together with
interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the Closing Date through
the date of payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
on or before the date which is twenty (20) days after the date of its
approval of the Final Closing Accounting pursuant to Section 6.4.3. If
the Final Closing Accounting indicates Net Current Assets exceeded the
Net Current Assets Target (as determined in Section 6.12) by less than
the Net Current Assets calculation used at Closing (or were less than
the Net Current Assets Target (as determined in Section 6.12)), then
the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall
(reduced by the Minority Percentage Interest) and Purchaser shall pay
to Seller the amount of such shortfall (as so reduced), together with
interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the Closing Date through
the date of payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
on or before the date which is twenty (20) days after the date of
Purchaser's approval of the Final Closing Accounting pursuant to
Section 6.4.3; provided that if the Final Closing Accounting indicates
that Net Current Assets at either FRP or FRC-I were less than the Net
Current Assets Target (as determined in Section 6.12) for such
Subsidiary then the amount of such shortfall attributable to the
excess of the Net Current Assets Target over the Net Current Assets
shall not be reduced by the applicable Minority Percentage Interest.
In the event of any dispute concerning the Final Closing Accounting,
Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay to the other the amount
not in dispute, and the amount in dispute shall be payable pursuant to
Section 6.4.4.
6.5 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.
6.5.1Seller has prepared, and Purchaser has accepted subject to its review
and approval of final information pursuant to Section 6.5.4, the
estimate, as of the end of the fifth 4-week accounting period in
Seller's 1997 fiscal year, of all amounts expended by each Subsidiary
(including accrued liabilities set forth on the Closing Accounting)
towards Budgeted Capital Improvements, attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit E-4 (the "Estimated Capital Improvement Expenditures"). Upon
request, Seller shall make available to Purchaser reasonable back-up
of the matters set forth in such estimate.
6.5.2Seller has approved, and Purchaser has accepted subject to its review
and approval of final information pursuant to Section 6.5.4, an
estimate as to the amount by which the Estimated Capital Improvement
Expenditures are more or less than the product obtained by multiplying
(i) the total projected expenditures shown for such Budgeted Capital
Improvements in the applicable Capital Expenditure Budget by (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed prior
to Closing in the Company's 1997 fiscal year, and the denominator of
which is 364. With respect to FRP and FRC-I, any such surplus or
shortfall was reduced to reflect only the Majority Percentage
Interest. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that all such surpluses and
shortfalls in the aggregate for all Subsidiaries result in a
shortfall, and that as a result the Purchase Price to be paid at
Closing will be reduced by the amount of such shortfall (the
"Estimated Capital Expenditure Shortfall").
6.5.3The amount of any Financing Reserve which is used for the payment of
expenditures otherwise payable out the "FF&E Reserve" under any
management or operating agreements in effect from and after Closing
shall be treated as a pre-funding of such "FF&E Reserve."
Consequently, the amounts which under such management or operating
agreements would be payable into the "FF&E Reserve" after Closing
shall constitute "Operating Expenses" under such management or
operating agreements, but shall be distributed to the applicable
Subsidiary (in lieu of being deposited in the "FF&E Reserve" under
such management or operating agreements) until such time as such
amounts equal the amounts on deposit in such Financing Reserve as of
the Closing Date.
6.5.4On or before the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following
the Closing Date, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser an accounting, as
of the Closing Date, of all amounts actually expended or accrued by
each Subsidiary towards Budgeted Capital Improvements. Such accounting
shall be in substantially the same form as Exhibit E-4. Upon request,
Seller shall make available to Purchaser reasonable back-up of the
matters set forth in such accounting. At such time, Seller shall
determine whether the amounts expended by each Subsidiary towards
Budgeted Capital Expenditures are (i) more, in the aggregate, than the
amount obtained by multiplying (x) the total projected expenditures
shown for such Budgeted Capital Expenditures in the applicable Capital
Expenditures Budget by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days elapsed prior to Closing in the Company's 1997 fiscal
year and the denominator of which is 364 (a "Capital Expenditure
Surplus") or (ii) less, in the aggregate, than such amount (a "Capital
Expenditure Shortfall"). With respect to FRP and FRC-I, any such
determination of surplus or shortfall shall be
reduced to reflect only the Majority Percentage Interest; provided
that with respect to shortfalls the Majority Percentage Interest will
only be taken into account to the extent that the Net Current Assets
of such Subsidiary determined in the Final Closing Accounting are in
excess of the Net Current Assets Target of such Subsidiary. If there
is a Capital Expenditure Surplus, the Purchase Price will be increased
by an amount equal to the sum of such Capital Expenditure Surplus plus
the Estimated Capital Expenditure Shortfall. If there is a Capital
Expenditure Shortfall that exceeds the Estimated Capital Expenditure
Shortfall, the Purchase Price will be decreased by the amount of such
excess. If there is a Capital Expenditure Shortfall that is less than
the Estimated Capital Expenditure Shortfall, the Purchase Price will
be increased by the difference. Any amounts required to be paid under
this Section 6.5.4 shall be made, together with interest thereon at
the Interest Rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or before the date
which is twenty (20) days after the date of approval of the Final
Closing Accounting pursuant to Section 6.4.3. Any dispute concerning
such adjustments shall be resolved in the manner described in Section
6.4, mutatis mutandis.
6.6 LIFECARE PAYMENTS.
6.6.1The following Lifecare Contracts shall comprise the "Base Lifecare
Contracts" for purposes of this Agreement: up to 149 Lifecare
Contracts for Pueblo Norte, and up to 144 Lifecare Contracts for
Brookside.
6.6.2For those Base Lifecare Contracts in effect as of Closing, the
following shall apply:
6.6.2.1 Purchaser shall receive no compensation, whether in the form
of an adjustment to the Purchase Price or otherwise, for Lifecare
Payments received by the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the
Closing Date from the Residents under such Base Lifecare
Contracts;
6.6.2.2 From and after Closing, Seller, at its sole cost and expense,
shall maintain all Lifecare Reserves required by any applicable
law or any Governmental Authority in connection with such Base
Lifecare Contracts, and shall make all payments required under
such Base Lifecare Contracts. To the extent required by
applicable law or any Governmental Authority, such Lifecare
Reserves may be in the name of the Company or the applicable
Subsidiary, but Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that their
intent is that Seller, to the extent permitted by law and
Governmental Authority, shall have complete dominion and control
over such Lifecare Reserves (including the right to direct
payment), and shall have complete responsibility for the
maintenance thereof;
6.6.2.3 At such time as may be permitted under applicable law and
Governmental Authority, Seller shall have the right to distribute
to itself all Lifecare Reserves described in Section 6.6.2.2. To
the extent that such Lifecare Reserves are held in the name of
the Company or any Subsidiary, Purchaser shall cause the Company
or such Subsidiary to cooperate fully in effecting such
distribution to Seller; and
6.6.2.4 Notwithstanding any provision of any New Operating Agreement
to the contrary, Lifecare Payments received by the Company or any
Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date from the Residents under
Base Lifecare Contracts shall not constitute "Gross Revenues"
under the New Operating Agreement, whether in full or the portion
thereof amortizing after the Closing Date.
6.6.3For those Lifecare Contracts in effect at any Community as of Closing
in excess of the Base Lifecare Contracts ("Excess Lifecare
Contracts"), the following shall apply:
6.6.3.1 The Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of any
Lifecare Payment (reduced by any applicable Minority Interest
Percentage) received in respect of the Excess Lifecare Contracts
(plus such interest thereon as may be required under applicable
law as of the Closing Date), except to the extent any such
Lifecare Payment is accrued as a Current Liability, and except to
the extent of the amount of any Lifecare Reserve maintained by
the applicable Subsidiary with respect to such Excess Lifecare
Contracts; and
6.6.3.2 From and after Closing, Purchaser, at its sole cost and
expense, shall maintain all Lifecare Reserves required by
applicable law or any Governmental Authority in connection with
the Excess Lifecare Contracts and shall make all payments
required under the Excess Lifecare Contracts.
6.6.4Lifecare Contracts shall be allocated between Base Lifecare Contracts
and Excess Lifecare Contracts based on their effective date, with
those Lifecare Contracts having an earlier effective date being
allocated to Base Lifecare Contracts, and those Lifecare Contracts
with a later effective date being allocated to Excess Lifecare
Contracts.
6.6.5Seller has provided to Purchaser, and Purchaser has accepted subject
to its review and approval of final information pursuant to this
Section 6.6.5, a list (itemized by Resident), as of the end of the
fifth 4-week accounting period in Seller's fiscal year, of the
following: (i) all Lifecare Contracts in effect, (ii) all Lifecare
Payments received under such Lifecare Contracts, and (iii) all
Lifecare Reserves maintained with respect to such Lifecare Contracts.
Such list forms the basis for implementing, at Closing, the provisions
of Sections 6.6.1 through 6.6.4, and is attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit E-3. On the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after
the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a list (itemized
by Resident) of all Lifecare Contracts actually in effect, all
Lifecare Payments actually received under such Lifecare Contracts, and
all Lifecare Reserves maintained with respect to such Lifecare
Contracts, all as of the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser, both
acting reasonably and in good faith, shall make such adjustments to
the Purchase Price as shall be required based upon the actual Lifecare
Contracts and Lifecare Payments as of the Closing Date. Within twenty
(20) days after completion of such adjustments, Seller and Purchaser
shall each make such payments to the other, together with interest
thereon at the Interest Rate from the Closing Date through the date of
payment, as may be required as a result of such adjustments.
6.7 SECURITY DEPOSITS. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Purchase Price
calculated at Closing pursuant to Exhibit E-1 was based on certain
assumptions of levels of Security Deposit Reserves and liabilities
associated with Security Deposits that resulted in an increase in the
Purchase Price (such increase, the "Estimated Security Deposit Reserve
Surplus"). If the Final Closing Accounting indicates that the Security
Deposit Reserves exceeded the liabilities associated with Security Deposits
by more than the Estimated Security Deposit Reserve Surplus, then the
Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess (reduced by
the Minority Percentage Interest) and Purchaser shall pay to Seller the
amount of such excess (as so reduced), together with interest thereon at
the Interest Rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds on or before the date which is
twenty (20) days after the date of its approval of the Final Closing
Accounting pursuant to Section 6.4.3. If the Final Closing Accounting
indicates that the Security Deposit Reserves exceeded the liabilities
associated with Security Deposits by less than the Estimate Security
Deposit Reserve Surplus, or if the liability of the Company or the
applicable Subsidiary for Security Deposits as of the Closing exceeded the
amount of any Security Deposit Reserves associated therewith, then such
shortfall will be deemed to be a Current Liability for purposes of
determining the final Net Current Assets and will be reduced by the
Minority Percentage Interest to the extent set forth in Section 6.4.5. In
the event of any dispute concerning the Final Closing Accounting, Seller
and Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay to the other the amount not in
dispute, and the amount in dispute shall be payable pursuant to Section
6.4.4.
6.8 CERTAIN PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that
certain payments made in respect of the Tax Agreement may be accounted for
as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, with respect to each Subsidiary which is a partnership for
purposes of federal income taxes, amounts paid under the Tax Agreement as a
result of taxable income or gain realized by such Subsidiary for the period
prior to Closing shall be accounted for as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price.
6.9 NEW OPERATING AGREEMENT MATTERS.
6.9.1For purposes of the definition of "Owner's Initial Cost" set forth in
Section 1.01 of each New Operating Agreement, the Purchase Price,
Existing Financing and Purchaser's budgeted costs in connection with
the Transaction shall be allocated among the Communities as set forth
on Exhibit E-5. Within ten (10) days after Seller and Purchaser agree
to the Final Closing Accounting pursuant to Section 6.4, Seller and
Purchaser shall make such revisions to such definition of "Owner's
Initial Cost" as may be necessary to conform such definition to the
Final Closing Accounting and to reflect all actual out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection
with the Transaction.
6.9.2The Capital Expenditure Budget for each Community shall constitute the
"Repairs and Equipment Estimate" described in Section 8.02D of the New
Operating Agreement for such Community for the balance of the 1997
fiscal year.
6.9.3The operating projections for each Community attached as Exhibit E-6
shall constitute the Annual Operating Projection described in Section
9.03 of the New Operating Agreement for such Community for the balance
of the 1997 fiscal year.
6.9.4Any cost, expense, liability or other amount (an "Expense") that would
otherwise constitute an "Operating Expense" under any New Operating
Agreement shall be excluded from "Operating Expenses" and shall be
borne solely by Seller and its Affiliates (or, if constituting a
Current Liability shown on the Final Closing Accounting, shall be
borne solely by Purchaser and its Affiliates) to the extent that it is
attributable to, or relates to, the employment of any person by the
Company or any of its Affiliates prior to Closing. Such Expenses to be
excluded from "Operating Expenses" shall include (i) the pro rata
portion of any payment, bonus, or profit sharing allocation that is
paid or provided with respect to, or relates to, a period that
includes the Closing, including bonuses and other forms of incentive
compensation, (ii) deferred compensation or benefits that relate to
periods prior to Closing, and (iii) unused personal time, vacation pay
or sick leave (collectively, "Leave") accrued prior to Closing
(whether or not pay or benefits with respect to such Leave is paid or
provided separately or as a part of regular payroll).
6.9.5Any Expense that would otherwise constitute an "Operating Expense"
under any New Operating Agreement shall be excluded from "Operating
Expenses" and shall be borne solely by Seller and its Affiliates (or,
if constituting a Current Liability shown on the Final Closing
Accounting, shall be borne solely by Purchaser and its Affiliates) to
the extent that it is attributable to, or relates to, any person who
is or was an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to
Closing and who is on disability or similar leave at the time of
Closing (except for Operating Expenses for employer contributions to
welfare benefit plans), provided that any Expense that is attributable
to or relates to the employment of any such person after such person
returns to active employment with the Seller or any of its Affiliates
after Closing may be treated as an Operating Expense, subject to the
terms of the New Operating Agreement.
6.10 TRANSACTION COSTS.
6.10.1 Purchaser shall pay (i) all recordation, transfer, documentary and
similar taxes, if any, levied upon transfer of the Stock by Seller to
Purchaser, (ii) all costs and premiums charged by the Title Company in
connection with its search of title to the Communities and issuance of
the Title Policies, (iii) the fees and expenses of Claris Services
Corporation, Purchaser's Accountants, and any other appraiser,
engineer, environmental consultant, advisor or consultant retained by
Purchaser, (iv) the fees and expenses of Purchaser's legal counsel in
connection with the Transaction, (v) such other usual and customary
costs, expenses and charges as may be lawfully imposed by any Person
other than Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the
Transaction, and (vi) such other costs as are specifically required to
be borne by Purchaser under this Agreement.
6.10.2 Seller shall pay (i) the costs and expenses of its legal counsel,
the Seller's Accountants and any other advisors or consultants
retained by Seller, and (ii) such other costs as are specifically
required to be borne by Seller under this Agreement.
6.11 EMPLOYEES. Prior to Closing, Seller shall take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate such that, effective as of the Closing, the
Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no employees or directors (other
than the independent directors of Forum Retirement, FFI and Forum Ohio).
Prior to Closing, Seller shall take all such actions (including but not
limited to obtaining employee waivers and consents) as may be necessary or
appropriate such that, on and after the Closing, the Company and its
Subsidiaries shall no longer sponsor, be a party to, participate in, or
have any obligation under or with respect to any Plan, or any contract or
agreement listed on Exhibit C-10. Prior to Closing, Seller shall provide to
Purchaser a written description of the actions taken (or to be taken) by
Seller in order to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.11, and the
actions by Seller to seek to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to
cease being a party to, or obligated under, any union contract, collective
bargaining agreement or other labor contract. The delivery to Purchaser of
the written description provided for by the preceding sentence, or the
failure of Purchaser to object to the contents thereof, shall not in any
way limit, restrict, or constitute a waiver of any of Purchaser's rights
hereunder or satisfy, relieve, or in any way modify any of Seller's
obligations hereunder, except Seller's obligation to deliver such written
description.
6.12 NET CURRENT ASSETS TARGET. Within five (5) days of Purchaser's receipt of
the "Interim Accountings" under the New Operating Agreements for the ninth
4-week accounting period in Seller's 1997 fiscal year, Seller and Purchaser
shall mutually determine, both acting reasonably and in good faith, the
amount of Net Current Assets ("Net Current Assets Target") for all
Subsidiaries which is sufficient to meet the reasonably anticipated working
capital needs of such Subsidiaries, taking into account the actual
experience of each individual Subsidiary, as well as the restrictions set
forth in the Existing Financing Documents. Such determination shall exclude
extraordinary cash needs, or cash required to fund capital expenditures in
excess of amounts payable into the FF&E Reserve under the New Operating
Agreement or any other management agreement in effect from and after
Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Net Current Assets Target
shall not be less than $553/Residential Unit nor more than
$1,000/Residential Unit. Any dispute concerning such determination shall be
resolved in the manner described in Section 6.4.4, mutatis mutandis.
VII. COVENANTS AFTER CLOSING
7.1 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Upon request of Purchaser from time to time after
Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all or any portion of the Books
requested by Purchaser. So long as any Books, to the extent that they
pertain to the period preceding the Closing Date, remain in existence and

business hours for any proper purpose upon reasonable prior notice.
7.2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
7.2.1On or before July 21, 1997, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i)

together with an unqualified audit report thereon issued by KPMG Peat

7.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES. From and after Closing, promptly upon request, Seller
and Purchaser shall promptly take all appropriate action and execute all
documents, instruments and conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to effect the transfer of the Stock to Purchaser's
Designee and otherwise carry out any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser
shall promptly take all appropriate action and execute all documents
reasonably necessary to effect the transfer of the Excluded Assets,
effective prior to Closing, by the Company and its Subsidiaries to Seller
or its Affiliates, provided that all costs, expenses and liabilities
incurred in connection with such transfer shall be borne by Seller.
7.4 EQUIPMENT LEASES. Seller acknowledges that all Equipment Leases and
Contracts in effect as of the Closing Date are acceptable to it, and agrees
that after Closing, the New Operator shall not require the termination of
such Equipment Leases or Contracts prior to the expiration of their term.
7.5 MEDICAID/MEDICARE CONTRACTS. In connection with the Transaction, Seller and
Purchaser shall fully cooperate with each other to cause all
Medicaid/Medicare Contracts to continue in full force and effect (or to the
extent required by law, to cause new Medicaid/Medicare Contracts to be
entered into) in favor of the Company and each Subsidiary from and after
Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and
Purchaser shall each promptly furnish all information as may be required by
any Governmental Authority in connection with such Medicaid/Medicare
Contracts. Seller and Purchaser shall each provide to the other copies of
all applications, documents, correspondence and written communications that
each of them or their Affiliates files with, sends to or receives from any
Governmental Authority in connection with the Medicaid/Medicare Contracts.
7.6 PERMITS. In connection with the Transaction, Seller and Purchaser shall
fully cooperate with each other, (i) to cause all Permits to continue in
full force and effect (or to the extent required by law, to cause new
Permits to be issued) in favor of the Company and each Subsidiary from and
after Closing, or (ii) to the extent permitted by law, to cause all Permits
to be issued in the name of the New Operator from and after Closing.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser
shall each promptly furnish all information as may be required by any
Governmental Authority in connection with the transfer or issuance of such
Permits (other than confidential or proprietary information not customarily
required for such transfers and issuances and not required by applicable
law, provided that the party withholding such information is diligently and
reasonably contesting the legality of the requirement that such information
be provided). Seller and Purchaser shall each provide to the other copies
of all applications, documents, correspondence and written communications
that each of them or their Affiliates files with, sends to or receives from
any Governmental Authority in connection with the Permits.
7.7 NOTICES OF VIOLATION. In the event that prior to Closing any Governmental
Authority shall issue any notice of violations of orders or requirements,
against or affecting the Assets, such notice shall be promptly complied
with by Seller at its sole cost and expense.
7.8 CASUALTY. In the event that prior to Closing, all or any portion of the
Assets is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, and restoration
of the Assets is not completed as of Closing, then in addition to the
Assets otherwise required under this Agreement to be owned by the Company
and the Subsidiaries as of Closing, there shall be included all insurance
proceeds in respect of such casualty (or the right to receive the same),
less such portion as shall have been expended in connection with the
restoration of the Assets to their condition as of prior to such casualty
(and such proceeds, or the right to receive the same, shall not be
considered a Current Asset in the calculation of Net Current Assets).
7.9 CONDEMNATION. In the event that prior to Closing, any Governmental
Authority shall condemn, on a permanent or temporary basis, all or any
portion of the Assets, then in addition to the Assets required under this
Agreement to be owned by the Company and the Subsidiaries as of Closing,
there shall be included all proceeds of such condemnation (or the right to
receive the same), less such portion as shall have been expended in
connection with the restoration of the Assets to their condition as of
prior to such condemnation or taking (and such proceeds, or the right to
receive the same, shall not be considered a Current Asset in the
calculation of Net Current Assets).
7.10 CHANGE OF NAMES. As soon as practicable following Closing, taking into
account the timing of the renewal of Permits, but in no event later than
the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the
name of the Company and each Subsidiary to be changed so as to eliminate
reference to the word "Forum" or variations thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such change is prohibited by, or would violate, any Contract
to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or otherwise bound, or
the Existing Financing Documents, then such change shall be effected by
Purchaser at the earliest possible time that such change would no longer be
prohibited by, or violate, such Contract or the Existing Financing
Documents. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all out-of-pocket filing
costs (not including any fees of outside legal counsel) incurred by
Purchaser in connection with the change of names described in this Section
7.10.
7.11 NOTICES, CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Purchaser and Seller shall fully cooperate
with each other to give such notices of the Transaction, and to obtain such
consents to and approvals of the Transaction, as may be required, including
those notices, consents and approvals set forth on Exhibit C-8. Purchaser
and Seller shall each provide such additional information, documents,
materials and filings as may be required to give such notices or obtain
such consents and approvals. Purchaser and Seller shall each furnish to the
other and its counsel such information and assistance as may be reasonably
requested in connection with the giving of such notices or obtaining such
consents and approvals.
7.12 EXPANSION AGREEMENTS. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that an Expansion
Agreement is not being executed at Closing with respect to the following
Communities (or to certain Expansion Phases within such Communities):
Remington II, Montevista I, Myrtle Beach II, and Lincoln Heights II/III.
From and after Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any Person whose consent is
required as a condition to the execution of the Expansion Agreement or the
construction of the Expansion Units described in such Expansion Agreement.
Promptly upon obtaining all consents required with respect to any Community
(or to Expansion Phases within such Community), Seller shall execute, and
Purchaser shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to execute, an Expansion
Agreement for such Community (or Expansion Phase).
7.13 EXPANSION OF DESERT HARBOR. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that as of the
Closing Date, (i) FFI does not own a portion of the land on which Desert
Harbor will be expanded pursuant to the Expansion Agreement executed at
Closing with respect to Desert Harbor, and (ii) Seller has contracted to
acquire such land. After Closing, Seller shall cause fee title to such land
to be transferred to FFI, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, and
Purchaser shall cause FFI to cooperate as may be necessary in connection
with such transfer.
7.14 CERTAIN EXPANSION PROJECTS.
7.14.1 Upon request of Purchaser from time to time, Seller shall assign to
Purchaser or Purchaser's Affiliates all warranties and guaranties
received by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the
design, construction and equipping of the following expansion projects
affecting the Communities and completed prior to Closing: Brookside I,
Brookside II, Brookside IV, Foulk Manor South, Montebello I, Lafayette
I, Deer Creek I, Myrtle Beach I, Pueblo Norte I, Shipley Manor, and
Park Summit IV (3 of 30 Expansion Units) (collectively, "Completed
Expansion Projects"). If for any reason such warranties and guaranties
are not assignable to Purchaser or its Affiliates, Seller shall fully
cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates in enforcing or otherwise
exercising its rights with respect to such warranties and guaranties.
7.14.2 Seller warrants to Purchaser and its Affiliates that materials,
equipment, Decorative Items, FF&E, Trade Equipment, Soft Goods and
Fixed Asset Supplies (as such terms are defined in the form of
Expansion Agreement) furnished in connection with the Completed
Expansion Projects which were substantially completed on or after
January 1, 1997 and prior to Closing shall be of good quality and new
and that the construction and installation of the same will be free
from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted.
Seller's warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by
abuse, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or
normal wear and tear under normal usage. The foregoing warranty shall
expire as to any deficiencies not noted in writing by Purchaser to
Seller prior to the date which is one (1) year after Substantial
Completion (as defined in the Expansion Agreement) of each such
Completed Expansion Project, other than latent defects, and two (2)
years with respect to latent defects (such warranty not to include
defects in equipment for which a commercially reasonable
manufacturer's warranty was obtained at the time of the purchase
thereof). Purchaser shall have the right, prior to expiration of such
two (2) year period for latent defects warranty, to notify Seller of
conditions which Purchaser reasonably believes and can indicate with
reasonable specificity do or will constitute latent defects. The
parties will attempt to agree upon whether such condition constitutes
or will constitute a latent defect, and failing agreement either party
may submit such dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the
terms of Section 11.3 of the Expansion Agreement. Seller and Purchaser
acknowledge that the only Completed Expansion Project which was
substantially completed on or after January 1, 1997 and prior to
Closing is Park Summit IV (3 of 30 Expansion Units).
7.15 HUD CONSENT TO LEXINGTON EXPANSION. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that
the consent of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development may be
required in connection with the construction of certain Expansion Units at
Lexington. From and after closing, Seller shall at its sole cost and
expense take such action as may be reasonably necessary to obtain such
consent, and Purchaser shall fully cooperate as may be reasonably necessary
to obtain such consent.
7.16 ADDITIONAL SELLER WORK. Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense,
complete the work described on Exhibit E-7. Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to substantially complete all such work by December 31,
1997.
