limitation shall not apply), (A) no Seller will be deemed to have "knowledge" of
any information which is known to Purchaser or ESC, in its capacity as the
manager of a Facility, if such information has not been reported or delivered to
the applicable Seller by Purchaser or ESC and (B) no Seller shall be in breach
of its representations and warranties set forth in this Section 7 if Purchaser

nonetheless elects to proceed with Closing the Transaction with respect to the
Facility owned by such Seller.

13. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING
----------------------------------
(a) PURCHASER'S CONDITIONS. Purchaser's obligation to purchase
Sellers' Assets hereunder is subject to the following conditions, any one or all
of which may be waived by Purchaser:
(i) TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW.
(A) As of the Execution Date, (i) Purchaser has caused to be
delivered to Seller title reports or commitments (the "Title Commitments") for
extended coverage title insurance policies with respect to the Real Property
issued by the Title Company, along with legible copies of all of the exception
documents referenced therein with respect to each of the Facilities and (ii)
Purchaser has ordered a litigation, bankruptcy, judgment and security interest
search in the names of the Sellers, the Facilities, XL, in the case of the
Essington Manor Facility, and Purchaser and ESC in the case of the remaining
Facilities (the "Litigation and Lien Search").
(B) As of the Execution Date, Purchaser has ordered ALTA surveys
with respect to any of the Real Property not covered by the Existing Surveys
(the "New Surveys"), which are being prepared by surveyors acceptable to
Purchaser (the "Surveyors") and Purchaser has requested that the Existing
Surveys be recertified to Purchaser, NHP and the Title Company (the "Recertified
Surveys" and together with the New Surveys, the "Surveys"), with, in each case,
the intent of the parties being that at Closing Purchaser will receive ALTA
Surveys which are sufficient to cause the Title Company to issue the Title
Policies (as defined below) without the survey exception or, in the case of the
portion of the Real Property located in Texas, with the survey exception limited
to shortages in area (the "Surveys"). The New Surveys shall be certified to the
Purchaser, Sellers, the Title Company and NHP and, upon completion thereof,
Purchaser shall cause the New Surveys and the Recertified Surveys to be
delivered by the Surveyors to Purchaser, Sellers, the Title Company and NHP.
(C) Prior to Closing, in the case of any of the Facilities which are
subject to an anticipated March 31, 2004 Closing, and within five (5) business
days, in the case of any of the Facilities which are subject to an anticipated
Closing subsequent to March 31, 2004, after Purchaser's receipt of the last of
the Title Commitment (including legible copies of all of the exception documents
referenced therein), the results of the Litigation and Lien Search and the
Survey with respect to a Facility, Purchaser shall advise the applicable Seller
in writing on a Facility by Facility basis of its objections, if any, to the
matters reflected therein (a "Title and Survey Objection Letter").
(D) Prior to Closing, in the case of any of the Facilities which
are subject to an anticipated March 31, 2004 Closing, and within five (5)
business days after the applicable Seller's receipt of the Title and Survey
Objection Letter related to the Facility owned by it, in the case of any of the
Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing subsequent to March 31,
2004, such Seller shall specify by written notice delivered to Purchaser which
of the objections described therein it will correct at or prior to the Closing
Date and which of such objections it is unable or elects not to correct at or
prior to the Closing Date (the "Seller Title and Survey Response Notice"). If
any Seller fails to deliver a Seller Title and Survey Response Notice prior to
Closing or within the applicable five (5) day period, as applicable, such
Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to correct any of the matters to
which Purchaser objected in the applicable Title and Survey Objection Letter. If
a Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to correct some or all of the
matters objected to in the applicable Title and Survey Objection Letter,
Purchaser shall have until Closing, in the case of any of the Facilities which
are subject to an anticipated March 31, 2004 Closing, or within five (5) days
after the receipt of a Seller Title and Survey Response Notice or after the date
by which the Seller Title and Survey Response Notice was due in accordance with
the terms hereof , in the case of any of the Facilities which are subject to an
anticipated Closing subsequent to March 31, 2004, in which to advise the
applicable Seller of its decision to close, notwithstanding the defects which
such Seller is unable, or has elected not, to correct, or of its election to
terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected
Facility(ies). In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as a
result of the existence of title, survey or defects which a Seller elects not,
or is unable, to correct by Closing, neither party shall have any further rights
or obligations hereunder.
(E) Any matter reflected on the Title Commitments or in the
results of the Litigation and Lien Search or on the Surveys and not objected to
by Purchaser or as to which Purchaser waives its objections in accordance with
the terms hereof, shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and shall for purposes
hereof be deemed to be the "Permitted Exceptions."
(F) At Closing, Sellers shall cause the Title Company to issue one or
more extended coverage title insurance policies to Purchaser or NHP insuring
Purchaser's or NHP's title to the Real Property as of the Closing Date subject
to no exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions in an aggregate amount
equal to the Purchase Price (unless a higher amount of title insurance has been
specified by Purchaser and the additional premium attributable to such higher
amount has been deposited by Purchaser with the Escrow Agent at or prior to
Closing) (the "Owner's Title Policies").
(G) At Closing, the Surveyors shall issue to Purchaser the Surveys of
the Real Property revised to reflect any objections included in the Title and
Survey Objection Letters which Sellers agree to correct in accordance with the
terms hereof and certified in the manner specified herein.

has ordered from duly licensed environmental inspection companies reports with
respect to the Facilities indicating (A) the presence (or absence) of asbestos
in each of the Facilities, the level thereof, whether it is friable or
non-friable, if it is friable the recommended steps to correct the problem and
the anticipated cost thereof and (B) the results of a Phase I Assessment of the
Real Property and the Facilities (the "Asbestos and Environmental Reports").
Prior to Closing, in the case of any of the Facilities which are subject to an
anticipated March 31, 2004 Closing and within five (5) business days, in the
case of any of the Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing
subsequent to March 31, 2004, after Purchaser's receipt of the Asbestos and
Environmental Reports (the "Environmental Review Period") Purchaser shall
approve or disapprove each of the Asbestos and Environmental Reports in
Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion. Should Purchaser disapprove the
Asbestos and Environmental Reports, it shall notify the applicable Seller in
writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor at or prior to the
expiration of the Environmental Review Period (the "Environmental Notice"). If
any Seller advises Purchaser prior to Closing, in the case of any of the
Facilities which are subject to an anticipated March 31, 2004 Closing, or within
five (5) business days, in the case of any of the Facilities which are subject
to an anticipated Closing subsequent to March 31, 2004, after their receipt of
Purchaser's Environmental Notice that such Sellers is unwilling or unable to
remedy all such objections prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have until
Closing, in the case of any of the Facilities which are subject to an
anticipated Closing on March 31, 2004, or (2) business days thereafter, in the
case of any of the Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing
subsequent to March 31, 2004, in which to advise the applicable Seller in
writing of its election either to waive the matters to which it has objected and
which Sellers are unwilling or unable to remedy or to terminate this Agreement
either in its entirety or solely as to the affected Facility(ies). Seller's
failure to respond to the Environmental Notice by Closing or within such five
(5) business day period, as applicable, shall be deemed to be Seller's notice to
Purchaser that it is unable or unwilling to remedy the objections set forth in
the Environmental Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser
has not advised Seller (i) by March 30, 2004 with respect to any of the
Facilities, other than the Autumn Ridge Facility, the Essington Manor Facility
and the Facility located in Everett, Washington and known as Arbor Place (the
"Arbor Place Facility") or (ii) by April 15, 2004 with respect to the Autumn
Ridge Facility, the Essington Manor Facility and the Arbor Place Facility that
it is not satisfied with this condition, this condition shall be deemed to be
satisfied as of such date.
(iii) DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW. Purchaser shall be satisfied with the results
of the Due Diligence Review; provided, however, if Purchaser is not satisfied
with the results of its Due Diligence Review, Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected
Facility(ies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser has not
advised Seller (i) by March 30, 2004 with respect to any of the Facilities,
other than the Autumn Ridge Facility, the Essington Manor Facility and the
Facility located in Everett, Washington and known as Arbor Place (the "Arbor
Place Facility") or (ii) by April 15, 2004 with respect to the Autumn Ridge
Facility, the Essington Manor Facility and the Arbor Place Facility that it is
not satisfied with this condition, this condition shall be deemed to be
satisfied as of such date.
(iv) REGULATORY APPROVAL; LICENSING. Either (i) the approval of the
transaction by the appropriate regulatory and licensing authorities and agencies
of the states where each of the Facilities is located, including receipt by
Purchaser of all consents, approvals, licenses and certificates as may be
necessary for Purchaser lawfully to own and operate the Facilities or (ii) the
execution and delivery by the applicable Seller of the Interim Sublease and
Management Agreement Amendment with respect to any Facility for which Purchaser
does not hold a license in its own name as of the Closing Date.
(v) DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION. Prior to the Closing Date, the risk of
physical loss to the Sellers' Assets shall be borne by Sellers. Accordingly, it
shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation hereunder that prior to the
Closing Date, no material portion of any of the Facilities nor any material
portion of any of the Sellers' Assets shall have been damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty, or shall have been taken or condemned by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, in any such case to an
extent which causes the affected Facility(ies) to lose use of any of its
licensed beds/units or to become impracticable to operate as of the Closing Date
or the postponement thereof, if applicable. If the Sellers' Assets shall have
been so damaged or destroyed and Purchaser waives this condition, the applicable
Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of its rights to any insurance proceeds in
the connection therewith and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by any
deductible which Purchaser shall be required to pay in connection with such
damage or destruction or by any uninsured costs of repair or reconstruction. If
the Sellers' Assets shall be so taken or condemned prior to Closing, and if
Purchaser waive this condition, Sellers shall pay or assign to Purchaser all
Sellers' right to the proceeds of any condemnation award in connection thereof
and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by such amount as may be agreed upon by
the applicable Seller and Purchaser as a reasonable estimate of the amount by
which the cost to repair the portion of the Sellers' Assets affected by such
taking exceeds such condemnation award; provided, however, if the applicable
Seller and Purchaser are unable to so agree by the Closing, then Purchaser may
exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately
following sentence. Purchaser may, however, in lieu of closing, elect to
exercise its rights under Paragraph 15(a) (iii) with respect to the affected
Facility or Facilities if a material portion of the Seller's Assets is damaged,
destroyed or taken prior to the Closing Date but such election shall not affect
Purchaser's obligation to purchase, or Sellers' obligation to sell, the
remainder of the Sellers' Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

default under any mortgage, contract, lease or other agreement affecting or
relating to the Sellers' Assets including, but not limited to, the documents

either in its entirety or solely as to the affected Facility(ies)

Seller shall have performed all of its obligations under this Agreement that are
to be performed prior to or at Closing to the extent the same have not been
waived by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, if

have the right to terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as
to the affected Facility(ies).

contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein shall be
true in all material respects at and as of the date of Closing as though such
representations and warranties were then again made; provided, however, if
Seller's representations and warranties are not materially true at Closing,
Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement either in its
entirety or solely as to the affected Facility(ies).
(ix) NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. There shall be no material adverse
change in the financial or physical condition or results of operations of each
of the Facilities unless Sellers are able to demonstrate that such change is due
to a breach by Purchaser or ESC of its obligations under the Management
Agreements.
(x) BOARD APPROVAL. Purchaser shall have secured the approval of the
Transaction by its Board of Directors.
(xi) THE EXISTING FINANCING. In the case of the Facilities secured by the
Existing Financing, NHP shall have secured the consent of the lender to the

foregoing conditions to Closing have been satisfied as to some, but not all, of
the Facilities, Purchaser shall have the right to either (A) waive the
condition(s) which has not been satisfied and proceed with the Closing or (B)
terminate this Agreement in its entirety or (C) terminate this Agreement solely
as to the Facilities with respect to which the condition(s) to Closing has not
been satisfied.

15. TERMINATION
-----------
(a) GROUNDS FOR TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated and the
transaction contemplated herein abandoned at any time prior to Closing:
(i) By mutual written agreement of the parties;
(ii) By Sellers, if any of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 13(b)
shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Closing Date or such
earlier date as may be specifi-cally provided for the performance thereof (as
the same may be extended) through no fault of Sellers and the same shall not
have been waived by Sellers;
(iii) By Purchaser, if any of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 13(a)
shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Closing Date or such
earlier date as may be specifi-cally provided for the performance thereof (as
the same may be extended) through no fault of Purchaser or ESC hereunder or
under the Management Agreements and the same shall not have been waived by
Purchaser;
(iv) By either Sellers or Purchaser in the event of a material breach by the
other party of its obligations hereunder;
(v) By either Sellers or Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred by the
Closing Date specified in Paragraph 3 as the same may be extended in accordance
with the terms thereof; and
(vi) By Purchaser upon Purchaser's receipt of written notification of any
fact which would materially change any of the representations or warranties of
Sellers herein.
Provided, however, in the event either party elects to terminate this
Agreement as to less than all of the Facilities, the non terminating party shall
have the right, on written notice to the terminating party, to terminate this
Agreement in its entirety if, as a result thereof, the number of Facilities
remaining to be conveyed to Purchaser is less than five (5).
(b) SELLERS' REMEDIES UPON TERMINATION. In the event of the
termination of this Agreement by Sellers under Paragraphs 15(a) (ii) or (iv) or
under Paragraph 15(a)(v) in the event the Closing has failed to occur as a
result of a material breach by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, Purchaser
and Sellers acknowledge and agree as follows:
PURCHASER SHALL PAY TO SELLERS AS SELLERS' SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AN AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00) AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING THAT THE AMOUNT OF
DAMAGES WHICH SELLERS MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION MAY BE DIFFICULT
TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE AMOUNT PROVIDED FOR HEREIN IS A REASONABLE AND FAIR
ESTIMATE THEREOF, AFTER WHICH THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN ASSUMES THAT
SELLERS HAVE AGREED TO SELL, AND PURCHASERS HAVE AGREED TO PURCHASE, FOURTEEN
FACILITIES FOR A TOTAL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT PER FACILITY OF FIFTY THOUSAND
AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000). ACCORDINGLY, THE ACTUAL AMOUNT DUE FROM PURCHASER
TO SELLERS SHALL BE FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000) PER FACILITY
WHICH IS NOT PURCHASED BY PURCHASER OR NHP AS A RESULT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER
HEREUNDER IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED BY SELLERS AND PURCHASER THAT, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE INABILITY TO SECURE THE CONSENT OF A LENDER TO THE ASSUMPTION
OF THE EXISTING FINANCING SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER OR
NHP.

17. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
------------------
Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that with the exception of the
Essington Manor Facility, all of the employees of the Facilities are currently
the employees of Purchaser under the terms of the Management Agreements. With
respect to the Essington Manor Facility, Joliet and Purchaser agree as follows.
At Closing, Joliet shall terminate or shall cause XL to terminate all of the
employees of the Essington Manor Facility and shall pay to them or cause XL to
pay to them any wages and benefits, i.e., vacation days and wellness days, which
are due as of the Closing Date under applicable State law. Purchaser agrees to
extend an offer of employment to each of the employees of the Essington Manor
Facility on reasonably comparable terms and conditions to the current terms of
their employment as disclosed to Purchaser by Joliet or XL. Purchaser

----------------------------
(a) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, with the
exception of the Essington Manor Facility, Purchaser already has possession and

Manor Facility, at Closing, Joliet shall provide or shall cause XL to provide
Purchaser with an accounting of all resident security deposits being held by
Joliet or XL as of the Closing Date for the residents or prospective residents
of the Essington Manor Facility (the "Resident Deposits"). Such accounting
shall set forth the names of the residents or prospective residents for whom
such funds are held, the amounts held on behalf of each resident or prospective
resident and the warranty of Joliet or XL that the accounting is true, correct
and complete.
(b) On the Closing Date, Joliet shall transfer or cause to be
transferred the Resident Deposits to the bank account designated by the
Purchaser and Purchaser shall in writing acknowledge to Joliet and/or XL
receipt of and expressly assume all Joliet's and/or XL's financial and
custodial obligations with respect thereto, it being the intent and purpose of
this provision that, at Closing, Joliet and XL will be relieved of all fiduciary
and custodial obligations with respect to the Resident Deposits actually
transferred to Purchaser, and that Purchaser will assume all such obligations
and be directly accountable to the residents and prospective residents of the
Essington Manor Facility, with respect thereto.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Joliet will indemnify and hold
Purchaser harmless from all liabilities, claims and demands in the event the
amount of the Resident Deposits transferred to the Purchaser's bank account as
provided in Paragraph 18(b) did not repre-sent the full amount of such Resident
Deposits then or thereafter shown to have been delivered to Joliet or XL by the
current residents or prospective residents of the Essington Manor Facility.
19. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
--------------------
(a) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, with the exception of
the Essington Manor Facility Purchaser currently possesses all of the
information which it may need with respect to the accounts receivable of the
Facilities. However, with respect to the Essington Manor Facility, Joliet and
Purchaser agree as follows. Within ten days prior to the Closing Date, Joliet
shall provide or cause XL to Purchaser with a detailed listing of the accounts
receivable which are anticipated to be outstanding from the residents of the
Essington Manor Facility on the Closing Date.
(b) With respect to each of the Facilities, from and after the Closing Date,
Purchaser shall assume responsibility for the billing for and collection of
payments on account of services rendered or goods sold by it on and after the
Closing Date and Sellers shall retain all right, title and interest in and to
and all responsibility for the collection of its accounts receivable for
services rendered or goods sold prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Any payments received by Purchaser after the Closing Date from
residents with balances due for the period prior to and after the Closing Date
shall be remitted by Purchaser to Sellers first to reduce any pre-Closing Date
balances, with the excess, if any, retained by Purchaser to reduce any
post-Closing Date balances due.
(d) Sellers shall have the right during normal business hours and
on reasonable notice to Purchaser to inspect Purchaser's books and records with
respect to the accounts receivable received by it after the Closing Date from
residents with balances due as of the Closing Date.
20. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY
-------------------------
Nothing in this Agreement express or implied is intended to and shall
not be construed to confer upon or create in any person (other than the parties
hereto, ESC and NHP in the event Purchaser assigns some or all of its rights
hereunder to ESC and NHP, respectively) any rights or remedies under or by
reason of this Agreement, including without limitation, any right to enforce
this Agreement.
