3.02. Appraisal Rights.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (“Appraisal
Shares”) of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
and that are held by any Person (i) who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto
in writing, (ii) who shall have properly demanded in writing appraisal of such Appraisal Shares
pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”)
and (iii) who has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost the right to such payment shall not be
converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.01, but
rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such
Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any
such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal
under Section 262 then
-7-
the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall
cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time
into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Merger Consideration as
provided in Section 3.01. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Sunrise of any written
demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Capital Stock, and Sunrise
shall be notified and kept reasonably informed regarding all negotiations and proceedings with
respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of Sunrise, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any
such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. If a Person shall demand appraisal of the fair
value of shares of Company Capital Stock under Section 262 after the Closing and such shares
thereby become Appraisal Shares, Sunrise shall be entitled to withdraw from the Exchange Fund any
portion of the Merger Consideration previously deposited therein with respect to such Appraisal
Shares.
3.03. Stock Options.
(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the board of directors of the
Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Trinity Hospice, Inc. 2002 Stock
Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”)) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other
actions as are required to give notice to the optionholders under such Stock Option Plan of a
proposed change of control event so that such optionholders must exercise any outstanding Company
Stock Options within thirty (30) days or such Company Stock Options terminate.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time and effective upon the expiration of the 30-day notice period
described in Section 3.03(a), the board of directors of the Company shall adopt resolutions
to terminate the Stock Option Plan as of the Effective Time and terminating provisions in any other
Trinity Plan providing for the issuance, transfer or grant of any capital stock of Sunrise, the
Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or any interest in
respect of any capital stock of Sunrise, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their
respective subsidiaries (including any “phantom” stock, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation
rights or stock-based performance units) as of the Effective Time, and the Company shall ensure as
of the Effective Time (i) that no holder of a Company Stock Option or any participant in any
Trinity Plan or other Contract shall have any right thereunder to acquire any capital stock of
Sunrise, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or any
interest in respect of any capital stock of Sunrise, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any
of their respective subsidiaries (including any “phantom” stock, “phantom” stock rights, stock
appreciation rights or stock-based performance units) and (ii) that no holder of a Company Stock
Option shall have any right to payment from Sunrise, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any
of their respective subsidiaries in respect of such Company Stock Option. In addition to and not
in limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, the board of directors of
the Company shall take all action necessary to cause the cancellation of the Company Stock Options
at or prior to the Effective Time, including obtaining any consents, waivers or acknowledgments
from holders of Company Stock Options or other Equity Interests that are necessary to give effect
to the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.03.
-8-
3.04. Capital Stock of Merger Sub.
Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common
Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically
converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and shall thereafter constitute all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate
representing any shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue after the Effective Time to
represent ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
3.05. Surrender and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Paying Agent. The parties acknowledge and agree that Corporate Stock Transfer,
Inc., located in Denver, Colorado, is hereby designated to act as the paying agent in the Merger
(the “Paying Agent”).
(b) Sunrise to Provide Merger Consideration. On or before the Closing Date, Sunrise
shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash equal to the amount of the Merger Consideration as
specified in Section 3.01(a) (excluding the proportionate amount of the Merger
Consideration attributable to Appraisal Shares) (the “Exchange Fund”). At any time
following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, all cash comprising the Exchange Fund
deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.05(b), which remains
undistributed to the holders of the Certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock,
shall be delivered to Sunrise upon demand, and thereafter such holders of unexchanged shares of
Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to look only to Sunrise (subject to abandoned property,
escheat or other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger
Consideration for payment upon due surrender of their Certificates.
(c) Exchange Procedures. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause to be mailed
or delivered to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”)
that will represent as of the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock to be
exchanged pursuant to Section 3.01, a letter of transmittal in a form reasonably acceptable
to the Company and Sunrise (the “Transmittal Letter”), which shall specify that delivery
shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of
the Certificates to the Paying Agent at or after the Effective Time and shall contain instructions
for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the payment of the
applicable Merger Consideration therefor as specified in Section 3.01(c). Upon surrender
of a Certificate to the Paying Agent, together with a Transmittal Letter, duly completed and
validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be
required pursuant to the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to
receive in exchange therefor payment of the applicable Merger Consideration which such holder has
the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.01, after giving effect to any required
withholdings, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Promptly after the
Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed or delivered to each holder of record
of a Certificate representing outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock as of the Effective Time
a Transmittal Letter if reasonably requested by such holder or by the Principal Stockholders’
Representative.
-9-
(d) Payment to Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to
be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange
therefor is registered, it will be a condition to such payment that (i) the Certificate so
surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and (ii) the
Person requesting such exchange will have paid any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of
such payment in a name other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or
established to the satisfaction of Sunrise, or any agent designated by Sunrise, that such Tax has
been paid or is not applicable.
(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of
the Paying Agent, Sunrise, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation (or any Affiliate thereof) shall
be liable to a holder of a Certificate for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to
any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been
surrendered prior to five (5) years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier
date on which the applicable Merger Consideration in respect of the shares represented by such
Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any
applicable Merger Consideration or other shares, cash, dividends, distributions or other things of
value in respect of the shares represented by such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or
interests of any Person, whether previously entitled thereto or not.
(f) Withholding of Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
Sunrise or the Paying Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Stockholder such amounts as Sunrise (or any
Affiliate thereof) or the Paying Agent shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct
and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state,
local or foreign Laws relating to Taxes. Such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of
this Agreement as having been paid to the Stockholders in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made by Sunrise or the Paying Agent.
(g) Paying Agent Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses of the Paying Agent
shall be borne exclusively by and shall be the sole responsibility of the Principal Stockholders.
3.06. Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock.
The applicable Merger Consideration as specified in Section 3.01(c) and paid upon the
surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article 3
(including the contingent right to receive payment, if any, in connection with the Final Working
Capital Payment pursuant to Section 3.08(c), as contemplated in Section 3.01(d))
shall be in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock (including any
rights to receive accumulated but undeclared dividends on such Company Capital Stock, if any). At
the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there
shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time on the records of the Surviving Corporation. From and
after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing ownership of shares of
-10-
Company Capital Stock outstanding shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares
of Company Capital Stock (including any rights to receive accumulated but undeclared dividends on
such Company Common Stock, if any) except as otherwise provided for herein. If, after the
Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Sunrise or the Surviving Corporation (or any
Affiliate thereof) for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this
Article 3.
3.07. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.
In the event any Certificates representing Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificates, upon the making of an acceptable affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and the
delivery of such other documents reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the applicable Merger
Consideration; provided, however, that Sunrise may, in its sole discretion and as a
condition precedent to the payment thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificates (i) to execute and deliver an indemnity agreement with respect to such Certificate in
the form reasonably specified by Sunrise, and that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, prior
to the Effective Time, and (ii) to post a bond in such reasonable amount and on such customary
terms as Sunrise may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Sunrise or the
Paying Agent with respect to such Certificate.
3.08. Working Capital Adjustment.
(a) Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Principal
Stockholders’ Representative will deliver to Sunrise a good faith written estimate of the Working
Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”) setting forth in
reasonable detail the Principal Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of Estimated Working
Capital and any supporting documentation relevant to such calculation, calculated consistent with
GAAP and consistent with past practices, and which written estimate shall be prepared substantially
in accordance with the approach used to prepare the illustration of the calculation of Working
Capital as of June 30, 2006, attached to Schedule I-13 of the Disclosure Schedule,
including a reasonable, good faith estimate of the portion of previously received payments under
the Medicare PIP payment program that have been earned through the Closing Date and the treatment
of the remaining unearned portion consistent with the treatment of such amounts on Section
I-13 of the Disclosure Schedule. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted pursuant to the
definition of Merger Consideration in Section 3.01(a) downward by the amount the Estimated
Working Capital is less than zero and upward by the amount the Estimated Working Capital is greater
than zero, as applicable.
(b) Promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date, Sunrise will prepare and submit to the Principal Stockholders’ Representative a
statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail, Sunrise’s
calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Proposed Final Working
Capital”) and any supporting documentation relevant to such calculation, calculated and
prepared in the manner contemplated in Section 3.08(a). If Sunrise does not deliver to the
Principal Stockholders’ Representative the Closing Date Statement by the thirtieth (30th) day after
the Closing Date, Sunrise will be deemed to have accepted the Estimated Working Capital.
-11-
If the Principal Stockholders’ Representative disputes the correctness of the Proposed Final
Working Capital, the Principal Stockholders’ Representative will notify Sunrise in writing of its
objections no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Closing Date Statement and will set
forth, in writing and in reasonable detail, the reasons for the Principal Stockholders’
Representative’s objections. If the Principal Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver its
notice of objections no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Closing Date Statement,
the Stockholders will be deemed to have accepted Sunrise’s calculation. If the Principal
Stockholders’ Representative delivers a notice of objections no later than such fifteen (15) day
period, the Principal Stockholders’ Representative and Sunrise will endeavor in good faith to
resolve any disputed matters no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Principal
Stockholders’ Representative’s notice of objections. If the Principal Stockholders’ Representative
and Sunrise are unable to resolve the disputed matters, the Principal Stockholders’ Representative
and Sunrise will appoint the Independent Accountants to resolve the matters in dispute in a manner
consistent with this Section 3.08(b), and the determination of such firm in respect of the
correctness of each matter remaining in dispute will be final, binding and conclusive on the
Stockholders and Sunrise. The determination of the Independent Accountants will be based solely on
presentations by the Principal Stockholders and Sunrise and will not be by independent review. The
fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be paid one-half by the Principal
Stockholders and one-half by Sunrise. The Working Capital as of the Closing Date, as finally
determined pursuant to this Section 3.08(b) (whether by failure of Sunrise to deliver the
Closing Date Statement, whether by failure of the Principal Stockholders’ Representative to deliver
notice of objections, by agreement of the Principal Stockholders’ Representative and Sunrise or by
determination of the Independent Accountants), is referred to herein as the “Final Working
Capital”.
(c) If the Final Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, the amount of the
difference between the Estimated Working Capital and the Final Working Capital shall be paid by the
Principal Stockholders to Sunrise. Any amounts payable by the Principal Stockholders pursuant to
this Section 3.08(c) will be made not later than five (5) Business Days after the
determination of the Final Working Capital by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account designated in advance in writing by Sunrise. If the Final Working Capital is greater than
the Estimated Working Capital, the amount of the difference between the Final Working Capital and
the Estimated Working Capital (the “Final Working Capital Payment”) shall be paid by
Sunrise to the Principal Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders to be
distributed by the Principal Stockholders’ Representative as follows: first, to the former holders
of Class A-1-B1 Preferred Stock and Class A-1-B2 Preferred Stock, on a pro rata and pari passu
basis, until the sum of the Class A-1-B1 Preferred Stock Liquidation Amount and Class A-1-B2
Preferred Stock Liquidation Amount allocable to such holders is paid in full and the remainder (if
any) to former holders of Company Common Stock. For the purposes of the previous sentence, only
Stockholders holding such shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive any
distribution of the Final Working Capital Payment. Any amounts payable by Sunrise pursuant to this
Section 3.08(c) will be made not later than five (5) Business Days after the determination
of the Final Working Capital by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated in advance in writing by the Principal Stockholders’ Representative.
-12-
(d) After Closing, Sunrise will, and will cause the employees and agents of Sunrise and the
Acquired Companies to, provide the Principal Stockholders’ Representative, its accountants and the
Independent Accountants access at all reasonable times to the personnel and the books of account
and other books, accounts receivable information, customer records, financial records and other
business records of the Acquired Companies for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the Closing
Date Statement or in connection with any dispute under this Section 3.08, as reasonably
appropriate.
3.09. Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount Determination.
(a) On August 28, 2006 (or, such other date as is between 10 to 14 days prior to the Closing
Date), the Company shall deliver to Sunrise a good faith written estimate of the Medicare Cap
Liability Escrow Amount as of the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the delivery date
specified above (the “First Estimated Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount”) setting forth
in reasonable detail the Company’s calculation of the appropriate reserve for Medicare Cap
Liability, as determined in accordance with GAAP and consistent with past practices, as of the
above-specified measurement date, and any supporting documentation relevant to such calculation.
The Acquired Companies shall promptly provide Sunrise with such information as Sunrise reasonably
requests to verify the calculation of the First Estimated Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount.
(b) Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver
to Sunrise a good faith written estimate of the Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount as of the
Closing Date (the “Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount”) setting forth in reasonable
detail the Company’s calculation of the appropriate reserve for Medicare Cap Liability, as
determined in accordance with GAAP and consistent with past practices, and substantially consistent
with the calculation of the First Estimated Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount, as of the Closing
Date, and any supporting documentation relevant to such calculation. The Acquired Companies shall
promptly provide Sunrise with such information as Sunrise reasonably requests to verify the
calculation of the Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount. The Medicare Cap Liability Escrow Amount
shall be deposited into the Escrow Account on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.01(b).

requests from Governmental Entities in the Ordinary Course of Business with respect to billed
Accounts Receivable, each such Accounts Receivable is unconditionally owing to the applicable

payments will not be deemed to be “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code or
shall be exempt from such treatment under Section 280G of the Code or will not be made if not so
approved.

Companies, including, with respect to the Trinity Employees, making such employees available for

do not interfere with the Trinity Employees’ services to the Acquired Companies; provided
that any information provided to Sunrise or the Sunrise Representatives pursuant to this
Section 7.02 will be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement; and provided
further that no investigation pursuant to this Section 7.02 or otherwise in
connection with this Agreement will affect any representation or warranty given by the Principal
Stockholders or the Company hereunder. From the date hereof until the Effective Time, the
Principal Stockholders and the Company will furnish and will cause each Acquired Company to furnish

Contemplated Transactions.
(b) The Principal Stockholders and the Company will give prompt written notice to Sunrise of

representation or warranty of the Principal Stockholders or the Company contained in this Agreement
to be untrue or inaccurate, (B) any covenant or agreement of the
-47-
Principal Stockholders or the
Company contained in this Agreement not to be complied with or (C) any condition of Sunrise set
forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 not to be satisfied, and (ii) any failure of
the Principal Stockholders or the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or
agreement to be complied with or satisfied by the Principal Stockholders or the Company hereunder,
such notice shall be considered, individually, and in the aggregate, with all such other notices,
the “New Disclosure”. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any disclosure by
the Principal Stockholders or the Company pursuant to this Section 7.03(b) will not be
deemed to prevent or cure any misrepresentation or breach or any failure to comply with or satisfy
any covenant, condition or agreement, and any Losses resulting therefrom will be subject to the
indemnification provisions set forth in Article 10 and any other remedies at law or equity
available to Sunrise hereunder.
(c) Sunrise will give prompt written notice to the Principal Stockholders’ Representative of

condition or agreement, and any Losses resulting therefrom will be subject to the indemnification
provisions set forth in Article 10 and any other remedies at law or equity available to the
Principal Stockholders hereunder.
7.04. Affiliate Transactions.
Except as set forth in Section 7.04 of the Disclosure Schedule, immediately prior to
the Closing, the Principal Stockholders and the Company agree that all other Contracts (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, all notes, bonds and other instruments evidencing indebtedness of any
kind) between any Principal Stockholder, or any of its respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and
any Acquired Company, on the other hand, will be terminated or settled (without any post-Closing
payments by Sunrise, the Surviving Corporation or any other Acquired Company or resulting
obligations or Liabilities of Sunrise, the Surviving Corporation or any other Acquired Company),
as the case may be, and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding any terms thereof to the
contrary.
7.05. Commercially Reasonable Efforts.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Principal Stockholders and the
Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to
do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to satisfy
the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 and Sunrise shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to
be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to satisfy the conditions

-48-
(b) Each of Sunrise, the KRG Stockholders and the Company will, in connection with the efforts
referred to in Section 7.01 to obtain all requisite material approvals and authorizations
for the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions under any Antitrust Law, use its
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with
any filing or submission in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any
proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) promptly inform the other parties of any material
communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or any
other Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with
any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Contemplated Transactions, and
(iii) subject to applicable Law, consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any
analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or
submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under the Antitrust Laws, and
provide to the KRG Stockholders’ or Sunrise’s outside counsel, as appropriate, all information and
documents reasonably requested by such counsel promptly upon request, subject to any reasonable
restrictions. The parties hereto may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate
any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 7.05 as
“outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only
to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to
employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained
in advance from the source of the materials. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, neither Sunrise nor any Affiliates of Sunrise shall be under any obligation to make
proposals, execute or carry out agreements, submit to Orders or make any other commitments (A)
providing for the sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a
trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Sunrise or any of Sunrise’s
Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, or any Acquired Company, (B) to litigate, pursue
or defend any action or proceeding challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as

Sunrise or any Affiliates of Sunrise, including the Surviving Corporation, to conduct their
businesses or to own their assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the
Acquired Companies, or (D) to take any other action that could, individually or in the aggregate,
materially adversely affect Sunrise or any Affiliates of Sunrise, including the Surviving
Corporation.
7.06. Public Announcements.
The parties acknowledge and agree that Sunrise shall issue a press release announcing the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement after the date hereof, a copy of which press release
has been provided to the Principal Stockholders. Except for such release, on or prior to Closing,
no party hereto will make any press release, public statement or public announcement with respect
to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of Sunrise or
the Principal Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be; provided, that Sunrise may
make any press release, public statement or public announcement which Sunrise determines is
required by applicable Law or stock listing requirements.
-49-
7.07. Further Assurances.
At and after the Closing Date, each of the parties hereto will execute and deliver such
documents and other papers and take such further action as may be reasonably required to carry out
the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and to make effective completely the Merger and the other Contemplated
Transactions.
7.08. Confidentiality.
(a) The Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective
Time. At the Effective Time, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate without
further action by the parties. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 11, the
Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms.
(b) From and after the Effective Time, each Principal Stockholder shall, and shall cause such
Principal Stockholders’ Affiliates to, keep confidential and not use in any manner, any and all
Confidential Information. The foregoing shall not preclude a Principal Stockholder from (i)
disclosing such Confidential Information if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or
administrative process or by other requirements of any applicable Law (subject to the following
provisions of this Section 7.08(b)), (ii) discussing or using such Confidential Information
if the same hereafter is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this
Agreement), (iii) announcing the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions upon the Effective
Time, (iv) reporting the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, components of
consideration, escrow and other financial information typically disclosed to limited partners and
shareholders, or (v) discussing or using such Confidential Information if the same is acquired from
a Person that is not known to such Principal Stockholder to be under an obligation to keep such
information confidential. If any Principal Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Principal
Stockholder is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information
or documents in legal, administrative, arbitration or other formal proceedings, subpoena, civil
investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such Confidential Information, such
Principal Stockholder shall promptly notify Sunrise of any such request or requirement so that
Sunrise may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the
provisions of this Section 7.08(b). If, in the absence of a protective order or other
remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Sunrise, any Principal Stockholder is required to disclose
such information, such Principal Stockholder, without liability hereunder, may disclose that
portion of such information which such Principal Stockholder is legally required to disclose.
7.09. Employee Benefits.
Following the Closing Date, Sunrise will (i) maintain the employee benefit plans of the
Acquired Companies identified in Section 7.09 of the Disclosure Schedule (the
“Continuing Plans”) for employees of the Acquired Companies, subject to and in accordance
with applicable Law and the terms of the applicable employee benefit plan and/or (ii) will provide
employees of the Acquired Companies with employee benefits comparable to the employee benefits
provided to similarly situated employees of Sunrise. Nothing in this Section 7.09 will
limit the right of Sunrise, or any Affiliate of Sunrise, including the Surviving Corporation, to
terminate the employment of any current
or future employee of the Acquired
-50-
Companies at any time or, except as provided in the first
sentence of this paragraph, to determine or change the benefits of any employee of the Acquired
Companies.
7.10. Tax Matters.
(a) The KRG Stockholders will prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) in a timely
manner all Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Sunrise will cause Tax Returns for any
Straddle Period to be prepared and filed in a timely manner. The Tax Returns referred to in this
Section 7.10 shall be prepared consistent with past practice of the Acquired Companies.
(b) The party which prepares (or causes to be prepared) any Tax Return referred to in
Section 7.10(a) after the date of the signing of this Agreement shall provide the other
party with a copy of that Tax Return (together with all related work papers) at least thirty (30)
days before such Tax Return is required to be filed (unless in the case of Tax Returns other than
those involving income or franchise Taxes it is impractical to do so, in which case the return
shall be provided as soon as practicable). The other party may provide comments on the return
within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the copy of the Tax Return and the parties shall use all
reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Tax Return. If the parties are
unable to resolve any disagreements before the due date for such Tax Return (including extensions),
the party responsible for filing the Tax Return may file it. Thereafter, the parties shall refer
the matter to the Independent Accountants (whose fees are to be borne fifty percent (50%) by
Sunrise and fifty percent (50%) by the Principal Stockholders). The Independent Accountants shall
seek to resolve the matter as soon as practicable. Upon the Independent Accountants’
determination, an amended Tax Return shall be filed in accordance therewith to the extent it
differs materially from the Tax Return originally filed.
(c) The KRG Stockholders shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes for any Pre-Closing Period
and any Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period (but only to the extent such Taxes were not otherwise taken
into account in connection with the determination of Estimated Working Capital), and Sunrise shall
pay (or cause to be paid) the Taxes for the portion of any Straddle Period that is not included in
a Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period.
(d) For purposes of this Section 7.10, in the case of any Taxes that are payable for a
Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period will
(i) in the case of any Tax based on or measured by income or receipts of the Acquired Companies
during the Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount which would by payable as computed on a
“closing-of-the-books” basis if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date, provided
that any Taxes attributable to transactions not in the Ordinary Course of Business that occur on
the Closing Date but after the Closing will be considered to have occurred on the day following the
Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the
entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of
days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number
of days in the entire Tax period.
(e) The Principal Stockholders’ Representative and Sunrise agree to give prompt notice to each
other of any proposed adjustment to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period
-51-
or Pre-Closing Partial Tax
Period of the Acquired Companies. The Principal Stockholders’ Representative and Sunrise will
cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceedings involving the Acquired
Companies for such periods and each may participate at its own expense, provided that
Sunrise will control all aspects of the proceedings.
(f) The Principal Stockholders’ Representative and Sunrise agree to furnish or cause to be
furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance
(including the execution of powers of attorney and access to Books and Records) relating to the
Acquired Companies as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of any Tax Return, claim for
refund or audit, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any
proposed adjustment.
7.11. Release and Nonsolicitation.
At Closing, (a) each Principal Stockholder will enter into a release agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Release Agreement”) and (b) KRG Capital
Management, L.P. and KRG Co-Investment will enter into a nonsolicitation agreement with Sunrise in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Nonsolicitation Agreement”).
7.12. Repayment of Existing Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 7.12(b), the Principal Stockholders and the Acquired Companies
shall cause all Debt under the Existing Loans to be satisfied in full at or prior to Closing,
including the principal balances and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other fees and
costs related thereto. The Principal Stockholders shall provide to Sunrise at Closing evidence of
such satisfaction and releases of all related Liens with respect to the Existing Loans. The
Principal Stockholders and the Acquired Companies shall be entitled to satisfy all such Debt under
the Existing Loans by directing Sunrise, in writing, to apply the appropriate portion of the amount
attributable to such Debt that would otherwise have been included in the calculation of Merger
Consideration (but that is excluded therefrom pursuant to Section 3.01(e)(i)) at Closing,
and directing Sunrise to pay such amount directly to the Lenders in full satisfaction of such Debt.
Any such payment of Debt by Sunrise to a Lender shall be made subject to and in accordance with a
pay-off letter provided to Sunrise.
(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Sunrise shall obtain security necessary to replace the
letters of credit identified in Section 7.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.
7.13. No Solicitation.
(a) Each Principal Stockholder and Acquired Company, shall, and shall cause each of their
respective Affiliates, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives
(collectively, the “Trinity Representatives”) to immediately cease any existing discussion
or negotiation with any Persons (other than Sunrise) conducted prior to the date hereof with
respect to any proposed, potential or contemplated acquisition, directly or indirectly, of the
Company Capital Stock or the assets of the Acquired Companies. Each Principal Stockholder and
Acquired Company shall refrain, and shall cause each Trinity Representative to refrain during the
term of this Agreement from taking, directly or indirectly,
-52-
any action (a) other than as
contemplated by this Agreement, to solicit or initiate the submission of any proposal or indication
of interest from any Person (other than Sunrise) relating to an acquisition of the Company Capital
Stock or the assets of the Acquired Companies, or any merger, consolidation, combination, share
exchange, recapitalization, liquidation or dissolution involving any Principal Stockholder or
Acquired Company (a “Strategic Transaction”), (b) to participate in any discussions or
negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or that may
reasonably be expected to lead to, a Strategic Transaction with any Person (other than Sunrise) or
(c) to authorize, engage in, or enter into any agreement or understanding (other than with Sunrise)
with respect to a Strategic Transaction.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the
Company or its board of directors or any officer, director, employee, investment banker, attorney
or other adviser or representative of the Company, acting at the direction of and on behalf of the
Company, at any time prior to receipt of the Stockholder Approval from (i) providing information in
response to a request therefor by a Person who has delivered to the Company an unsolicited bona
fide written proposal regarding a Strategic Transaction if the Company receives from the Person so
requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement the terms of which are (without
regard to the terms of the Strategic Transaction) (A) no less favorable to the Company than those
contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) no less restrictive on the Person requesting
such information than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; or (ii) engaging in
negotiations or discussions with a Person who has delivered to the Company an unsolicited bona fide
written proposal regarding a Strategic Transaction; if, and only to the extent that, in each such
case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) immediately above, prior to receipt of the Stockholder
Approval, (1) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation
with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the Strategic Transaction, if accepted,
is reasonably likely to be consummated, (2) the board of directors of the Company determines in
good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor) that the Strategic Transaction would, if
consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the
Merger from a financial point of view (any Strategic Transaction as to which such determination in
clauses (1) and (2) immediately above is made being referred to in this Agreement as a
“Superior Proposal”) and (3) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith
(after consultation with outside legal
counsel) that such action is required by the fiduciary duties of the board of directors to the
Company’s stockholders under applicable law.
(c) Nothing in this Section 7.13 shall permit the Company to enter into any agreement,
orally or in writing, with respect to a Strategic Transaction during the term of this Agreement
(other than a confidentiality agreement as described above). The Company promptly shall advise
Sunrise of any Strategic Transaction (including the terms thereof and the identity of the person
making the Strategic Transaction) and inquiries with respect to any Strategic Transaction and shall
keep Sunrise informed on a current basis of the status of any discussions regarding a Strategic
Transaction. Nothing herein shall prevent the board of directors of the Company from complying
with Rule 14e-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
-53-
7.14. Termination of Certain Agreements.
On or prior to Closing, the Principal Stockholders will terminate or cause the termination of
(a) that certain Stockholders Agreement dated as of June 20, 2002, among the parties thereto (the
“Stockholders Agreement”); (b) that certain Management Agreement dated as of June 20, 2002,

may have against the Company arising from or in connection with the Stockholders Agreement, (II)
with respect to the Management Agreement, shall include an acknowledgement by the Manager of the
satisfaction or waiver of all of the Manager’s rights to any payments thereunder and a release by
the Manager of any claims the Manager has or may have against the Acquired Companies arising from
or in connection with the Management Agreement (subject only to the payment of the KRG Payments, as
contemplated by Section 3.01(a)), and (III) with respect to the Equity Agreement, shall
include an acknowledgement by each KRG Stockholder of the satisfaction or waiver of all of the
rights of each KRG Stockholder to any payments thereunder and a release by each KRG Stockholder of
any claims such KRG Stockholder has or may have against the Acquired Companies arising from or in
connection with the Equity Agreement.
7.15. Takeover Statutes.
If any Takeover Statute or other anti-takeover Law, Charter provision or Contract is or shall
become applicable to the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and the board
of directors of the Company shall grant such Approvals and take such actions as are necessary under
such Laws and provisions so that the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby may be
consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby without adverse
effect under, and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of, such Law, provision or
Contract.
7.16. Stockholder and Other Claims.
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not settle or compromise any claim brought by
any former or purported holder of any securities of the Company or other present, former or
purported counterparty to a Contract with the Company or any of other Acquired Company in
connection with the Merger or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Sunrise, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that
such consent shall only be requested and provided if consistent with applicable Law.
-54-
7.17. Stockholder Arrangements.
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not settle or compromise any claim brought by
any present holder of any securities of the Company in connection with the Merger or the other
Contemplated Transactions unless such settlement or compromise consists of only the payment of
monetary damages (which are fully paid by the Company prior to the Closing Date), does not impose
any injunctive or equitable relief upon the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates, does not
require any admission or acknowledgement of liability or fault of the Acquired Companies, contains
an unconditional release of the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates in respect of such claim
and the Company provides Sunrise with notice of any such claim, the Company keeps Sunrise
reasonably apprised of the status of negotiations and provides Sunrise with notice of such
settlement or compromise (including a summary of the terms of such settlement or compromise) at
least five (5) days prior to the Company entering into any agreements or arrangements relating
thereto.
7.18. Post-Closing Cooperation.
During the twelve-month period following the Closing Date, upon Sunrise’s reasonable request
(at Sunrise’s expense), with reasonable advance notice, and without necessity of subpoena, the KRG
Stockholders and their Affiliates and their representatives and counsel will use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with Sunrise and the Acquired Companies and their respective
representatives and counsel for purposes of permitting Sunrise or any Acquired Company to address
and respond to any matters that involve Sunrise or any Acquired Company that arise as a result of
or otherwise related to the KRG Stockholders’ or their Affiliates’ prior affiliation with the
Acquired Companies, whether or not related to this Agreement, including any claims made by or
against any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or Sunrise or any of its
Affiliates, whether involving any Governmental Entity or other Person.
7.19. No Redemption of Company Capital Stock.
Each of the Principal Stockholders that owns Company Preferred Stock agrees that, between the
date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, such Principal Stockholder will not cause such
Company Preferred Stock to be redeemed by such Principal Stockholder, except for redemptions of
Class B-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms thereof.
7.20. Transfer of Securities.
Each of the Principal Stockholders agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the
Effective Time, such Principal Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer or otherwise
convey ownership of or legal right or entitlement to any of such Principal Stockholders’ shares of
Company Capital Stock, Company Stock Options or other Equity Interests. Any transfer in violation
of this Section 7.20 shall be null and void. The Company agrees that it will not record in
the stock register or other books and records of the Company any transfer in violation of this
Section 7.20.
-55-

If the Acquired Companies receive any federal, state or local tax refunds for any Pre-Closing
Tax Period or the portion of any Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period ending on the Closing Date, the
amount of such refund (net of Taxes, if any, imposed on the Acquired Companies or Sunrise as a
result of such refund) shall promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after
the receipt thereof by the Acquired Companies) be paid to the Principal Stockholders’
Representative, provided that the claim for the refund was filed within twelve (12) months of the

property of the Stockholders and that the Acquired Companies and Sunrise have no right to such
refund (net of Taxes, if any, imposed on the Acquired Companies or Sunrise as a result of such
refund) and to the extent the Acquired Companies receive and hold such refund, they shall hold it
in trust in a segregated account to be distributed to the Principal Stockholders’ Representative.

-62-

in each case, without regard for any exception for materiality, material adverse effect or Material

(ii) any breach by the ACS Stockholder of, or any failure of the ACS Stockholder to perform,
any of the covenants, agreements or obligations contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Subject to Sections 10.02 and 10.03, from and after the Closing Date,
Sunrise hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Principal Stockholder and their
respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents
(each, a “Principal Stockholder Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Principal
Stockholder Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by
Principal Stockholder Indemnified Parties arising out of, based upon or resulting from any of the
following:
(i) any breach by Sunrise or Merger Sub of any representation or warranty contained in or
referred to in Article 5 or in any schedule or exhibit or in the certificate delivered by
or on behalf of Sunrise and Merger Sub pursuant to Section 8.03(a), in each case, without

Effect contained therein; and
(ii) any breach by Sunrise or Merger Sub of, or any failure of Sunrise or Merger Sub to
perform, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations contained in or made pursuant to this
Agreement.
(d) In the event that a Person entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 (the
“Indemnified Party”) will incur or suffer any Losses in respect of which indemnification
may be sought under this Article 10 against the Person required to provide indemnification
under this Article 10 (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified
Party will assert a claim for indemnification by providing a written notice (the “Notice of
Loss”) to the Indemnifying Party stating the nature and, in reasonable detail, the basis of
such Notice of Loss. The Notice of Loss will be provided to the Indemnifying Party as soon as
practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware that it has incurred or suffered a Loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 10.02, any failure to provide the
Indemnifying Party with a Notice of Loss, or any failure to provide a Notice of Loss in a timely
manner as aforesaid, will not relieve any Indemnifying Party from any Liability that it may have to
the Indemnified Party under this Section 10.01 except to the extent that the ability of
such Indemnifying Party to defend such claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s
failure to give such Notice of Loss. If the Notice of Loss relates to a Third Party Claim, the
procedures set forth in Section 10.01(e) will be applicable. If the Notice of Loss does
not relate to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days from the date
of receipt of such Notice of Loss to object to any of the subject matter and any of the amounts of
the Losses set forth in the Notice of Loss, as the case may be, by causing the Indemnifying Party
to deliver written notice of objection thereof to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party
fails to send a notice of objection to the Notice
-63-
of Loss within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have
agreed to the Notice of Loss and will be obligated to pay to the Indemnified Party the portion of
the amount specified in the Notice of Loss to which the Indemnifying Party has not objected. If
the Indemnifying Party sends a timely notice of objection, the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party will use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to settle (without an obligation
to settle) such claim for indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party do
not settle such dispute within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the
Indemnifying Party’s notice of objection, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will be
entitled to seek enforcement of their respective rights under this Article 10.
(e) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the assertion of any claim or
the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third Person (a “Third Party
Claim”) in respect of which the Indemnified Party will seek indemnification hereunder, the
Indemnified Party will so notify in writing the Indemnifying Party, but subject to Section
10.02 any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Section 10.01
except to the extent that the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third Party Claim is
materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. In no event will the
Indemnified Party admit any Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim or settle, compromise,
pay or discharge such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to
any such claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing the obligation to
indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the
defense (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) of any such claim through counsel chosen by the
Indemnifying Party by causing the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnified Party within thirty
(30) days after the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice from the Indemnified Party;
provided, that any such counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.
If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party will have the right to
participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the
counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party will have
the right to employ counsel to represent it at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if the
Indemnified Party has been advised by its counsel that there is a potential conflict between the
interests of the Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party, in which event the reasonable fees
and expenses of such separate counsel will be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party each agree to render to the other parties such assistance as may
reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such claim, which
assistance will include, to the extent reasonably requested by a party, the retention, and the
provision to such party, of records and information reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim,
and making employees of the other party available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party
may not settle or otherwise dispose of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
unless such settlement includes only the payment of monetary damages (which are fully paid by the
Indemnifying Party), does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party,
does not require any admission or acknowledgment of liability or fault of the Indemnified Party and
-64-
contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. None of
the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates may settle or otherwise dispose of any Third Party
Claim for which the Indemnifying Party may have a Liability under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
(f) With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnifying Party will have acknowledged in
writing the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder,
after written notice by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the election by the
Indemnifying Party to assume control of the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any costs or fees subsequently
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except if the
Indemnified Party has the right to employ counsel to represent it at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party as set forth in Section 10.01(e). If the Indemnifying Party does not
assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after the receipt
by the Indemnifying Party of the notice required pursuant to Section 10.01(e), the
Indemnified Party will have the right to defend such claim in such manner as it may deem
appropriate at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.
10.02. Survival.
All representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements made by any party
to this Agreement and in any other agreement required to be exercised by the parties pursuant to
this Agreement, will be deemed made on and as of the Closing Date as though such representations,
warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements were made on and as of such date, and all
such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements will remain in full
force and effect, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.02. The rights of the
Sunrise Indemnified Parties to assert a claim under Section 10.01(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi),
(vii), (ix) and (x) and Section 10.01(b)(i) and(ii) and the rights of the Principal
Stockholder Indemnified Parties to assert a claim under Section 10.01(c)(i) and (ii), will
survive the Closing Date for a period (the “Survival Period”) beginning at the Closing Date
and ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, and thereafter will terminate and expire,
except with respect to Liabilities for any item as to which, prior to the expiration of the
Survival Period, an Indemnified Party has asserted a claim in writing as required pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 10, in which event the Liability for such claim will continue
until such claim has been finally settled, decided or adjudicated. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the right of the Sunrise Indemnified Parties to assert a claim under Section 10.01(a)(i) or
Section 10.01(b)(i) for any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in
Sections 4.06 (Capitalization), 4.35 (Title to the Principal Stockholders’ Shares) or
4.36 (Merger Consideration and Other Payment Calculation Statement) will survive the
Closing Date for a period beginning at the Closing Date and ending twenty-four (24) months after
the Closing Date.
10.03. Limitation on Liability.
(a) Subject to Section 10.03(e), the Principal Stockholders will not have any
liability pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(i), (v), (vi), (vii) and (x), Section
10.01(b)(i) or Section 7.10(c) for any Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of
all such Losses exceeds Six
-65-
Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($675,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), in which
event the Principal Stockholders will be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section
10.01(a)(i), (v), (vi), (vii) and (x), Section 7.10(c) and/or Section
10.01(b)(i) for the aggregate amount of all such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount, up
to the maximum amount set forth in Section 10.03(b).
(b) Subject to Section 10.03(e), the maximum liability of the Principal Stockholders
pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) and (x) and Section
10.01(b)(i) and (ii) will not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (collectively, the
“Indemnity Cap”).
(c) Subject to Section 10.03(f), Sunrise will not have any liability pursuant to
Section 10.01(c)(i) for any Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses
exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event Sunrise will be liable for indemnification pursuant to
Section 10.01(c)(i) for the aggregate amount of all such Losses in excess of the Threshold
Amount, up to the maximum amount set forth in Section 10.03(d).
(d) Subject to Section 10.03(f), the maximum liability of Sunrise pursuant to
Section 10.01(c)(i) and (ii) will not exceed the Indemnity Cap.
(e) The limitations on liability set forth in Section 10.03(a) and Section
10.03(b) will not apply with respect to Losses resulting from (i) any breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.06 (Capitalization), 4.35 (Title to the
Principal Stockholders’ Shares) and 4.36 (Merger Consideration and Other Payment
Calculation Statement), (ii) any of the indemnification obligations of the Principal
Stockholders set forth in Section 10.01(a)(ii) and Section 10.01(b)(ii), to the
extent such section relates to Section 7.10 (Tax Matters) (other than Section
7.10(c)), (iii) fraud with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty contained in
or referred to in Article 4 or in any schedule or exhibit or in the certificate delivered
by or on behalf of the Principal Stockholders or the Company pursuant to Section 8.02(a)
and (iv) any of the indemnification obligations of the KRG Stockholders set forth in Section
10.01(a)(iii) and (viii).
(f) The limitations on liability set forth in Section 10.03(c) and Section
10.03(d) will not apply with respect to Losses resulting from (i) fraud with respect to any
breach of a representation or warranty contained in or referred to in Article 5 or in any
schedule or exhibit or in the certificate delivered by or on behalf of Sunrise, as the case may be,
pursuant to Section 8.03(a) and (ii) any of the indemnification obligations of Sunrise set
forth in Section 10.01(c)(ii), to the extent such section relates to covenants requiring
performance by Sunrise after the Closing.
(g) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article
10 will be reduced by the insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party with
respect to such Loss.
(h) Indemnification payments under this Article 10 shall be paid by the Indemnifying
Party without reduction for any Tax Benefits available to the Indemnified Party. However, to the
extent that the Indemnified Party recognizes Tax Benefits with respect to any
-66-
Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article 10, the Indemnified
Party shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefits (but not in excess of the indemnification payment
or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses) to the
Indemnifying Party as such Tax Benefits are actually recognized by the Indemnified Party. For this
purpose, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize a tax benefit (“Tax Benefit”)
with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party’s cumulative
liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding Tax items
attributable to the Losses for all taxable years, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual cumulative
liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax
items attributable to the Losses for all taxable years (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law
and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any taxable year).
(i) No Indemnifying Party will be liable for the punitive damages of any Indemnified Party
arising out of the performance of, or the failure to perform, any obligation(s) set forth herein,
except for such damages arising from Third Party Claims or from fraud.

warranties and the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement shall be several, and
shall not be joint and several, with respect to fraud; and (ii) in each case of fraud, only such
Persons committing such fraud shall be responsible for a breach of any representation or warranty
or any indemnification obligation.
(k) The Principal Stockholders shall not be liable pursuant to this Article 10 for any
Medicare Cap Liabilities in an amount greater than the Escrow Amount.
10.04. Payment.
(a) Upon a determination of liability under this Article 10, the appropriate party
will pay the Indemnified Party the amount so determined within five (5) Business Days after the
date of such determination. If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of
determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement the Indemnifying Party will
nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation that is not subject to dispute.
The difference, if any, between the amount of the obligation ultimately determined as properly
payable under this Agreement and the portion, if any, theretofore paid will bear interest as
provided below in Section 10.04(c). Subject to Section 10.05, upon the payment in
full of any claim, the Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party
against any Person, firm, corporation or other entity with respect to the subject matter of such
claim.
(b) Any items as to which any Sunrise Indemnified Party is entitled to payment under this
Agreement will first be paid to the Sunrise Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, to the extent that the then outstanding amount of the escrow funds is sufficient to pay
such items. Any Losses suffered by a Sunrise Indemnified Party resulting from or in connection
with the Medicare Cap Liabilities will first be paid out of the Medicare Cap Liability Escrow
Amount and then, to the extent that such amount has been depleted, out of the Indemnity Escrow
Amount. No Losses, other than the Medicare Cap Liabilities, shall be paid out of the Medicare Cap
Liability Escrow Amount. If the then outstanding amount of the escrow funds is insufficient to pay
any such item in full (including if
-67-
the escrow funds have been released), the payment of such item as to which the Sunrise
Indemnified Party is entitled to payment under this Agreement and which is not able to be paid from
the escrow funds will be the obligation of the Principal Stockholders and the Principal
Stockholders will make full payment of any and all such items to the Sunrise Indemnified Party
within five (5) Business Days after the date of determination of liability, subject to the
Indemnity Cap, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Principal Stockholders shall be jointly and severally liable under Article 10 up to the
amount of the Escrow Amount.
(c) If all or part of any indemnification obligation under this Agreement is not paid when
due, then the indemnifying party will pay the indemnified party interest on the unpaid amount of
the obligation for each day from the date the amount became due until payment in full, payable on
demand, at the fluctuating rate per annum which at all times will be three percentage points in
excess of the Prime Rate.
10.05. No Recourse.
No Principal Stockholder will be entitled to contribution from, subrogation to or recovery
against the Acquired Companies, including the Surviving Corporation with respect to any Liability
of the Principal Stockholders, including any such Liability that may arise under or pursuant to
this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreements or documents executed or to be
executed by the parties hereto in connection herewith.
10.06. Effect of Knowledge on Indemnification.
The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement will not be affected by any
investigation (including any health regulatory or environmental investigation or assessment)
conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time,
whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy
or in-accuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the
performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to
indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties,
covenants or obligations.
10.07. Remedies Exclusive.
From and after the Closing Date, except as set forth in Section 12.12 and for causes
of action arising from fraud (any Liability for which shall be subject to the same limitations in
Section 10.03(j)), the indemnification rights provided for in this Article 10 will
constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of
any representation or warranty or covenant in this Agreement.
-68-
10.08. No Duplication of Claims.
Any liability for indemnification under this Article 10 will be determined without
duplication for recovery because of the state of facts giving rise to the Losses constitute a
breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder.
10.09. Characterization of Payments.
Sunrise and the Principal Stockholders agree to treat all payments made by any of them to or
for the benefit of the others under this Article 10 or other indemnity provisions of this
Agreement and for any misrepresentations or breach of warranties or covenants as adjustments to the
purchase price or as capital contributions for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern
for purposes hereof except to the extent that the Laws of a particular jurisdiction provide
otherwise, in which case such payments shall be made in an amount sufficient to indemnify the
relevant party on an after-Tax basis.
ARTICLE 11
TERMINATION
11.01. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any
time prior to the Effective Time:
(a) by the mutual consent of Sunrise and the Principal Stockholders;
(b) by either Sunrise or the Principal Stockholders, by written notice of termination
delivered to the other, if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before September 18,
2006 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that Sunrise is entitled
in its sole discretion, upon delivery of notice to the Principal Stockholders’ Representative, to
extend the Termination Date for an additional thirty (30) days after the Termination Date if
Sunrise has received written notification from a Governmental Entity that consent, approval of or
filing with, or further action by, a health regulatory Governmental Entity is necessary to obtain
any of the Permits identified in Section 5.03 of the Disclosure Schedule (such extended
Termination Date, the “Extended Termination Date”), as long as the notices identified in
Section 5.03 of the Disclosure Schedule have been submitted to the appropriate Governmental
Entities within three (3) Business Days after the date of this Agreement; provided,
further, that the failure to consummate the Merger by the Termination Date will not be
attributable to the breach of this Agreement by the party seeking termination pursuant to this
Section 11.01(b);
(c) by either Sunrise or the Principal Stockholders in the event that any court or
Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction issues a final, non-appealable injunction
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Contemplated Transactions; provided,
that the issuance of such final, non-appealable injunction must not be attributable to the breach
of this Agreement by the party seeking termination pursuant to this Section 11.01(c);
-69-
(d) by Sunrise, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of any Principal Stockholder or the Company contained in this Agreement such
that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a) would not be satisfied and (i) such breach
is not reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date (or the Extended Termination
Date, if applicable) or (ii) if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured prior to the
Termination Date (or the Extended Termination Date, if applicable), such breach has not been cured
prior to the Termination Date (or the Extended Termination Date, if applicable); provided that
Sunrise will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
11.01(d) if Sunrise is then in material breach of any of its material representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;
(e) by the Principal Stockholders, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement on the part of Sunrise contained in this Agreement such that the conditions
set forth in Section 8.03(a) would not be satisfied and (i) such breach is not reasonably
capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date (or the Extended Termination Date, if
applicable) or (ii) if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Termination
Date (or the Extended Termination Date, if applicable), such breach has not been cured prior to the
Termination Date (or the Extended Termination Date, if applicable); provided, that the
Principal Stockholders will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 11.01(e) if any Principal Stockholder is then in material breach of any of its
material representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;
(f) by the Company, by action of the board of directors of the Company, if, prior to receipt
of the Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company is not in material breach of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) the board of directors of the Company authorizes the Company, subject to
complying with the terms of this Agreement, to enter into a binding written agreement concerning a
transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal and the Company notifies Sunrise in writing that
it intends to enter into such an agreement, attaching the most current version of such agreement to
such notice if available or, if not available, including all material terms and conditions of such
agreement in the notice, and (iii) Sunrise does not make, within three Business Days after receipt
of the Company’s written notice of its intention to enter into a binding agreement for a Superior
Proposal, an offer that the board of directors of the Company determines, in good faith after
consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, is at least as favorable to
the Company’s stockholders as the Superior Proposal, the Company agreeing hereby that (A) it shall
not enter into a binding agreement referred to in clause (ii) immediately above until at least the
fifth (5th) Business Day after it has provided the notice to Sunrise required thereby
and (B) it shall notify Sunrise promptly if its intention to enter into a written agreement
referred to in such notice shall change at any time after giving such notice;
(g) by Sunrise, if prior to the Stockholder Approval, the Company or its board of directors
shall have (i) failed to recommend or shall have withdrawn, modified or changed in any respect
adverse to Sunrise its recommendation of the adoption of this Agreement or the Merger or failed to
reconfirm its recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger, or (ii) recommended to the Company’s
stockholders or entered into an agreement with respect to, or
-70-
consummated, any Superior Proposal from a person other than Sunrise or any of its Affiliates
(or the board of directors of the Company shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing); and
(h) by Sunrise, if the Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained by 5:00 PM Eastern
Time on the first (1st) Business Day after the date of execution of this Agreement.
11.02. Effect of Termination.
(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 11.01, this
Agreement will be deemed null, void and of no further force or effect, and the parties hereto will
be released from all future obligations hereunder, except that the obligations of the parties
hereto set forth in this Section 11.02 (Effect of Termination), Section 12.03
(Expenses) and the Confidentiality Agreement, will survive such termination and the parties
hereto will have any and all remedies provided at law or in equity or otherwise (including specific
performance) to enforce the obligations set forth in this Section 11.02 (Effect of
Termination), Section 12.03 (Expenses) and the Confidentiality Agreement;
provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any breach hereof,
and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover Losses (and only
Losses) arising from such breach; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, under no circumstances will the Principal Stockholders be entitled to specific
performance or other equitable remedies to compel or seek to compel Sunrise or Merger Sub to
consummate the Contemplated Transactions.
(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.01(g) or
(h), then the Company and the Principal Stockholders shall (i) promptly, but in no event
later than the close of business of the second (2nd) Business Day after Sunrise shall
have requested payment of its charges and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, pay to Sunrise the amount of such charges and expenses by wire transfer of
same day funds.

12.02. Amendments; No Waivers.
(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Closing Date if, and
only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
Company, the Principal Stockholders, Merger Sub and Sunrise or in the case of a waiver, by the
party against whom the waiver is to be effective. In addition, any amendment
-73-
of any provision of this Agreement shall require the approval of the Company and Merger Sub,
by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, and may be amended at any
time before or after adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company or Merger Sub,
but, after any such adoption, no amendment shall be made which by Law would require the further
approval by such stockholders without first obtaining such further approval.
(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
will operate as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies herein provided will be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
law.
12.03. Expenses.
Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with this Agreement will be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Stockholders and Sunrise will each pay one-half (1/2)
of all sales, use, documentary, stamp, gross receipts, registration, transfer, conveyance, excise,
recording, license and other similar Taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”), if any, applicable
to, imposed upon or arising out of the Contemplated Transactions whether now in effect or
hereinafter adopted and regardless of which party such Transfer Tax is imposed upon.
12.04. Successors and Assigns; Benefit.
The provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that no party may assign
(other than by operation of law following the Closing), delegate or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other parties hereto except
that Sunrise may make such an assignment to one or more direct or indirect Affiliates, but any such
assignment will not relieve Sunrise of its obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, will confer on any Person other than the parties hereto, and their respective
successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained
in this Section 12.04 or in any other provision of this Agreement will prevent Sunrise from
effectuating, or participating with another Person or Persons in, or will require the consent of
any other parties, for Sunrise to effectuate, or participate with another Person or Persons in, a
merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of Sunrise’s assets, or a sale or issuance
of any of Sunrise’s capital stock.
12.05. Governing Law.
All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be construed in accordance with
and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware.
-74-
12.06. Resolution of Disputes.
All claims, action, suits, hearings, investigations or proceedings relating to or arising
under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents (collectively, the
“Litigation”) must be brought only in the federal or state courts located in the State of
Delaware, which will have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any Litigation, which each party
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction thereof for any Litigation. To the extent that any party
has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process
(whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such party hereby irrevocably
waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. Each party irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Litigation in any
Delaware court. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, the defense of any inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Litigation in any
such court. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that service of process in
connection with any Litigation arising under or in connection with this Agreement may be made upon
such party by prepaid certified or registered mail directed to such party at the address specified
in Section 12.01 hereof. Service made in such manner shall have the same legal force and
effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware. Nothing herein shall
be deemed to limit or prohibit service of process by any other manner as may be permitted by
applicable Law.
12.07. Severability.
If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this
Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the Contemplated Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.
Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect
the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
the Contemplated Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible. The parties intend that each
representation and each warranty contained in this Agreement shall have independent significance.
Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in any
representation or warranty, or the fact that any representation or warranty may be more specific or
less specific than any other representation or warranty, shall in any way limit, restrict or
otherwise affect the scope, applicability or meaning of any other representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement.
12.08. Table of Contents; Headings.
The table of contents and the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
-75-
12.09. Counterparts; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original,
with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This
Agreement will become effective when each party hereto will have received counterparts hereof
signed by all of the other parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed through delivery of duly
executed signature pages by facsimile or electronic mail.
12.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.
12.11. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute
the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
12.12. Specific Performance.
The Principal Stockholders and the Company agree that irreparable damage would occur if any
provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that Sunrise
will be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy at law
or in equity.
12.13. Principal Stockholders’ Representative.
(a) Principal Stockholders hereby appoint KRG Capital Management, L.P., as the Principal
Stockholders’ Representative, and the Principal Stockholders’ Representative hereby accepts such
appointment, as attorney-in-fact, authorized and empowered to act, for and on behalf of all of the
Principal Stockholders, in connection with this Agreement as it relates to the Principal
Stockholders generally, and such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) to administer and resolve any
disputes or compromise on their behalf with Sunrise any claims asserted hereunder or under the
Escrow Agreement, including any claims with respect to indemnification, (ii) to execute and deliver
on behalf of the Principal Stockholders any documents or agreements contemplated by or necessary or
desirable in connection with this Agreement, including the Escrow Agreement and (iii) to take such
further actions such as coordinating and administering post-Closing matters related to the rights
and obligations of the Principal Stockholders under this Agreement, including post-Closing matters
under the Escrow Agreement, and to take any such further actions as the Principal Stockholders’
Representative deems reasonably necessary in connection with coordinating and administering such
post-Closing matters on behalf of the Principal Stockholders, in the Principal Stockholders’
Representative’s sole discretion, including amending or waiving provisions of this Agreement if
such action does not treat equity holders of
-76-
the Principal Stockholders differently and disproportionately, employ legal counsel,
accountants and other professionals if necessary or advisable to carry out the duties of the
Principal Stockholders’ Representative, and receive notices, communications and deliveries on
behalf of the Principal Stockholders. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence,
the Principal Stockholders acknowledge and agree that whenever (A) a consent of the Principal
Stockholders is required or permitted under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, only the
consent of the Principal Stockholders’ Representative shall be required to be obtained to make such
consent effective as to all Principal Stockholders, (B) a selection, designation or other decision
is to be made by the Principal Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the
selection, designation or decision of the Principal Stockholders’ Representative shall be final and
binding on all the Principal Stockholders and (C) any document or other item is required to be
delivered to the Principal Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, such
delivery shall be deemed effective if sent to the Principal Stockholders’ Representative. The
power of attorney contemplated hereby shall terminate only when the duties of the Principal
Stockholders’ Representative have been fully performed or upon resignation or removal as provided
below, and shall be deemed coupled with an interest.
(b) Principal Stockholders’ Representative may resign as Principal Stockholders’
Representative by giving no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties hereto.
Principal Stockholders’ Representative may be removed with or without cause at any time and from
time to time by the unanimous vote of the Principal Stockholders. If Principal Stockholders’
Representative resigns or is removed as Principal Stockholders’ Representative, the successor
Principal Stockholders’ Representative (“Successor Representative”) shall be selected by
the KRG Stockholders, with the consent of the ACS Stockholder. The Successor Representative shall
become Principal Stockholders’ Representative hereunder upon the date specified in the resignation
letter (such date being at least thirty (30) days after the date of the notice of resignation) or
upon the effectiveness of the removal of Principal Stockholders’ Representative, and shall be
entitled to resign and appoint a successor, and shall be subject to removal, on the same terms and
conditions as the initial Principal Stockholders’ Representative. After the resignation or removal
of Principal Stockholders’ Representative as Principal Stockholders’ Representative, the provisions
of this Section 12.13 shall inure to his or her benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by him or her while he or she was Principal Stockholders’ Representative.
(c) Each Principal Stockholder irrevocably appoints Principal Stockholders’ Representative as
such Principal Stockholder’s lawful agent, for and in such Principal Stockholder’s behalf, to
accept and acknowledge service of, and upon whom may be served, all necessary processes in any
action, suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement that may be had or brought against such
Principal Stockholder’s successors or assigns, in any court of competent jurisdiction, such service
of process or notice to have the same force and effect as if served upon each and every Principal
Stockholder.
(d) Each Principal Stockholders’ Representative and Successor Representative shall act in the
best interests of the Principal Stockholders as such person shall in good faith determine. Each
Principal Stockholders’ Representative and Successor Representative shall have no liability to any
Principal Stockholder for any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder, unless such liability
is determined by a judgment or a court of
-77-
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Person. Except as otherwise contemplated hereunder, each Principal Stockholders’
Representative and Successor Representative shall be entitled to rely, as being binding upon each
Principal Stockholder, upon any document or other paper believed by such Principal Stockholders’
Representative or Successor Representative (as the case may be) to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed by such Principal Stockholder, and such Principal Stockholders’ Representative or
Successor Representative (as the case may be) shall not be liable to any Principal Stockholder for
any action taken or omitted to be taken thereby in such reliance.
(e) All costs and expenses incurred by each Principal Stockholders’ Representative and
Successor Representative while acting on behalf of the Principal Stockholders under the
authorization granted in this Section 12.13 shall be borne by the Principal Stockholders.
The Principal Stockholders shall indemnify each Principal Stockholders’ Representative and
Successor Representative in an amount and of such character as such Principal Stockholders’
Representative or Successor Representative (as the case may be) shall reasonably require to
institute or defend any action or legal proceeding involving any matter referred to in this
Agreement, including any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs, judgments, attorneys’ fees and
other expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever in relation thereto.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Principal Stockholder hereby
acknowledges that none of Sunrise, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Company shall have
any responsibility or obligation whatsoever to any such Principal Stockholder or other Stockholder
or to any other Person with respect to or arising out of any actions taken or inaction by the
Principal Stockholders’ Representative.
(g) Sunrise shall have the right to rely conclusively upon all actions taken or omitted to be
taken by the Principal Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement and any instrument,
agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, all of which actions or omissions shall be
legally binding on all the Principal Stockholders. Any payment made by Sunrise or the Escrow Agent
to the Principal Stockholders’ Representative for the benefit of the Stockholders shall be deemed
to be a valid payment as if made directly to the Stockholders and no Stockholder may thereafter
address Sunrise or the Surviving Corporation (or their Affiliates) or the Escrow Agent seeking such
payment or any portion thereof.
12.14. No Third Party Beneficiary.
This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to confer upon any Person other than
the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, except that the parties hereto agree and
acknowledge that the agreements and covenants contained in Article 10 are intended for the
benefit of the Indemnified Parties referred to therein (each such Person, a “Third Party
Beneficiary”), and that each such Third Party Beneficiary, although not a party to this
Agreement, shall be and is hereby constituted a direct and irrevocable third-party beneficiary of
the agreements and covenants contained in Article 10 and shall have the right to enforce
such agreements and covenants against the applicable party thereto in all respects fully and to the
same extent as if such Third Party Beneficiary were a party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement (including but not limited to Article 10) may be amended or waived by
Sunrise and Principal Stockholders’ Representative at any time and from time to time in
-78-
accordance with Section 12.02 and any such amendment or waiver shall be fully
effective with respect to the rights of the Third Party Beneficiaries under Article 10.
