EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Mr. Pacala's employment agreement provides for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term expiring on October 24, 1998. The agreement provides for a base salary of not less than $450,000 per year, plus an annual performance bonus in an amount up to 60% of his then- current annual base salary, such bonus to be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee based upon performance objectives established by the Board or the Compensation Committee after consultation with Mr. Pacala. However, Mr. Pacala will not receive a bonus in respect of Fiscal Year 1995. Rather, he will receive a bonus in the amount of $270,000 on October 24, 1995, and any bonus otherwise payable to Mr. Pacala following the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 1996 will be reduced by approximately $152,000. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Pacala was paid, in connection with the commencement of his employment with the Company, a one-time payment of $100,000 in order to induce him to forego the payment of an equivalent amount that would have been paid to him by his previous employer had he continued in his former employment and was granted an option to purchase 800,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.875 per share, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for shares of Common Stock on NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant, which option becomes exercisable in five equal annual installments commencing on August 7, 1995. The agreement also provides Mr. Pacala certain welfare benefits. If Mr. Pacala's employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause or as a result of death, disability or a change in control, the Company will for two years following such termination pay Mr. Pacala his then-current base salary (subject to offset for compensation received by Mr. Pacala from other parties) and provide him the welfare benefits that he was receiving immediately prior to his termination (subject to termination in the event that Mr. Pacala receives comparable benefits from a subsequent employer). If Mr. Pacala's employment is terminated by the Company (other than as a result of death or disability or for cause) or by Mr. Pacala (for any reason) within 12 months following a change in control, the Company will pay to Mr. Pacala a lump sum severance payment equal to two times his then-current base salary and will provide him the welfare benefits that he was receiving immediately prior to such termination. In those circumstances, in the event that the change in control occurs prior to April 24, 1996, Mr. Pacala would also have the right to cause the Company to repurchase the then-unexercised portion of his stock option at a price of $0.625 per share of Common Stock then underlying such option. 3 SEVERANCE PAY POLICY Under the Company's severance pay policy, severance pay may be granted to eligible employees, including the Named Executives (other than Messrs. Whitman, Pacala and Shively), if the termination of their employment is initiated by the Company as the result of any one of certain qualifying events, including reductions in force, position elimination and the inability to meet the requirements of a position, but not as a result of voluntary resignation, retirement, merger into or acquisition by another organization (if the employee is offered employment with the successor organization), discharge for misconduct and certain other reasons. Under the severance pay policy, executive officers generally are entitled to receive severance pay equal to one month's pay plus two additional weeks' pay for each year of continuous service, up to a maximum of eight months' pay. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION After the Investors acquired a majority interest in the Company in connection with the recapitalization of the Company in June 1993 (the "1993 Recapitalization"), the Company undertook to assemble a top-quality management team consisting of experienced executives capable of pursuing the Company's growth strategy. Following an extensive search, during Fiscal Year 1995, the Company hired Mark L. Pacala, formerly a senior executive at The Walt Disney Company, as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Pacala commenced his employment with the Company on October 24, 1994. His compensation arrangements are described under the caption "Compensation of Executive Officers-- Employment Agreement with Chief Executive Officer" above. The Company has hired other new senior executives in addition to Mr. Pacala, including James R. Foulger, Senior Vice President--Acquisitions, Dennis L. Lehman, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Brian C. Swinton, Senior Vice President--Product Development, Research and Marketing, and Richard A. Huber, Vice President--Operations Finance. Each of Messrs. Swinton and Huber commenced his employment with the Company prior to the beginning of Fiscal Year 1995, and each of Messrs. Foulger and Lehman commenced his employment with the Company after the end of Fiscal Year 1995. Each of Messrs. Foulger, Lehman, Swinton and Huber has had substantial senior management experience with other companies engaged in the senior living or healthcare fields. The compensation arrangements entered into with the Company's new executive officers reflect the Company's principal objectives with respect to executive compensation, which are to (i) provide appropriate incentives for the achievement of the Company's performance objectives, (ii) help ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain top-quality management personnel, and (iii) ensure that an appropriate portion of executive compensation is variable and dependent upon increases in the value of an investment in the Company. The compensation packages for the Company's new executive officers are comprised of cash salary, cash bonus and stock options granted under the Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that the nature and level of the compensation of these executives is reasonable and appropriate in light of the objectives underlying the Company's executive compensation policy, the Company's financial and operational performance and prospects, individual levels of experience and prevailing executive compensation practices. Following the 1993 Recapitalization, Mr. Whitman served as interim President and Chief Executive Office of the Company from July 19, 1993 until October 24, 1994, when Mr. Pacala commenced his employment with the Company. Mr. Whitman received no compensation from the Company for services rendered by him in that capacity. See "The Board of Directors and its Committees--Director Compensation" with respect to compensation paid to members of the Board, including Mr. Whitman, and "Certain Relationships and Transactions--General and Administrative Services" for a discussion of a payment made in June 1994 by the Company to Forum Holdings in respect of various general and administrative services provided to the Company by Forum Holdings and its representatives, including, among others, Mr. Whitman's services as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 4 In addition, at the Company's request, Mr. Shively, who until his recent resignation had been an executive officer of the Company since 1974, continued as an executive officer of the Company following the 1993 Recapitalization in order to ease the transition to a new management team. Mr. Shively's compensation package for Fiscal year 1995 was determined considering the Company's financial and operational performance, the Company's historical compensation levels and practices as they relate to Mr. Shively, his levels of responsibility and experience and subjective judgments regarding his individual performance. No relative weights were assigned to such factors. The Compensation Committee believes that the level of Mr. Shively's compensation was appropriate in light of such factors. The Company believes that the compensation paid to its executive officers during Fiscal Year 1995 is deductible for federal income tax purposes. In connection with future executive compensation determinations, the Company presently intends to consider, together with such other factors as may be deemed pertinent under the circumstances, whether such compensation will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The members of the Compensation Committee are directors whose principal employment is with affiliates of the Investors. The Investors, in the aggregate, beneficially own a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" and "Certain Relationships and Transactions." Respectfully submitted, Peter P. Copses Daniel A. Decker 5 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS SETTLEMENT OF CERTAIN LITIGATION Pursuant to a court-approved settlement agreement, during Fiscal Year 1995, the Company settled certain claims asserted by Forum/Classic, L.P., an entity affiliated with the Pritzker family, and others against the Company, the Investors and certain other persons (including persons who comprised the Board immediately prior to the 1993 Recapitalization) in a suit filed in connection with the 1993 Recapitalization. In connection with the settlement, the Company reimbursed the plaintiffs for $500,000 of the expenses incurred by them in that litigation. CERTAIN CONSULTING SERVICES The Company and Mr. Eden have entered into an agreement, effective as of March 31, 1995, pursuant to which Mr. Eden will render to the Company such consulting and advisory services as the Company's Chief Executive Officer may from time to time request regarding the Company and the retirement industry. In connection with the execution of the agreement, the Company paid to Mr. Eden $137,500 in respect of certain consulting services provided by him to the Company prior to such time, including services provided during Fiscal Year 1995. Under this agreement, which terminates on December 31, 1996, the Company will pay to Mr. Eden an annual retainer of $31,250 and certain additional amounts in certain circumstances. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES In July 1994, the Company paid $750,000 to Forum Holdings in respect of various general and administrative services provided to the Company by Forum Holdings prior to such date. Such services include, among others, arranging for and negotiating the Company's debt refinancing which was completed in February 1994 and negotiating the co-investment agreement which was entered into by the Company and National Guest Homes, LLC in July 1994. Services covered by such payment also include Mr. Whitman's services as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. CERTAIN ACQUISITIONS In May 1995, the Company acquired from Autumn America, an affiliate of Forum Holdings, for $1.3 million, Autumn America's rights as the manager of five retirement communities and entered into new management contacts with the owners of such facilities (two of which are affiliates of Forum Holdings). Under each such management contract, the Company will receive in respect of management services to be provided by it thereunder a monthly management fee equal to 5% of gross collections. In connection with such acquisition, the Company also paid to Autumn America for disbursement to its management personnel $250,000 in cash in lieu of granting certain rights with respect to future acquisitions by the Company. Of such amount, $150,000 was disbursed to James R. Foulger, formerly the President of Autumn America, who, upon the consummation of such acquisition, became Senior Vice President--Acquisitions of the Company. In May 1995, the Company acquired for $1.7 million an 80% interest in the retirement community now known as The Forum at the Woodlands (the "Woodlands Property"). The remaining 20% interest in the Woodlands Property is owned by an unaffiliated co-investor. In connection with such acquisition, an affiliate of Forum Holdings (the "Holdings Affiliate") was granted a carried interest in the Woodlands Property in exchange for assigning its rights to purchase such property to the Company and its co-investor. Commencing May 1996, the Holdings Affiliate may require the Company to purchase, and the Company may require the Holdings Affiliate to sell to the Company, such carried interest for a price between $0.8 million and $1.7 million, depending on the performance of the Woodlands Property and sales of related tax-exempt bonds. 6 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS The following table sets forth information as to the beneficial ownership of each person known to the Company, as of July 24, 1995, to own more than 5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.
