number of nursing home beds as set forth on Exhibit B-1 (the SNFs and the Leased
Facilities are referred to herein individually as a "FACILITY" and collectively
as the "FACILITIES"
and the total number of nursing home beds set forth on Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit

C. The parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement
pursuant to which Purchaser will purchase from each Seller substantially all of
the assets of the Facilities upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual
agreements, representations, warranties, conditions and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1 Transfer of Assets. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, for the consideration hereinafter provided, Sellers, in
accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, shall convey,
transfer and assign to Purchaser at the Closing (as defined in Section 1.2
below), and Purchaser shall purchase from each Seller all of the assets, real,
personal and mixed, tangible and intangible, owned or held by each Seller and
used solely in the conduct of the business and operation of each Facility, or of
the Facilities as a group, including, but not limited to those assets set forth
on Schedule 1.1(a) (the "PURCHASED ASSETS") and Purchaser shall assume the
assumed liabilities set forth on Schedule 1.1(b) (the "ASSUMED LIABILITIES")
from Sellers. The Purchased Assets shall not include the assets set forth on
Schedule 1.1(c) (the "EXCLUDED ASSETS") and with regard to the Assumed Contracts
(as defined in Schedule 1.1(a)(e)) and the Personal Property Leases (as defined
in Schedule 1.1(a)(c)), it is expressly understood and agreed that Purchaser is
only acquiring those assets listed on Schedules 2.7 and 2.10, respectively.
1.2 Closing.
(a) The closing of the purchase and sale of all real
property sold pursuant to this Agreement (the "CLOSING") shall take place
through an escrow (the "CLOSING ESCROW") to be established with LandAmerica
Title Insurance Company at its Florida national office (the "TITLE COMPANY")
pursuant to form escrow instructions mutually acceptable to Purchaser and
Sellers. All other deliveries will be made directly by the delivering party to
the appropriate receiving party. The parties anticipate that the Closing will
occur by mail or other means of remote delivery; however, in the event it does
not so close such Closing shall take place at a mutually agreeable location.
(b) The Closing shall be effective as of October 1, 2003
or such later date as the parties may otherwise agree in writing ("CLOSING
DATE"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, either Purchaser or Sellers
shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for two (2) consecutive periods
of thirty (30) days each if any of the conditions precedent for the Closing
contained in Section 8 and Section 9 hereof have not been satisfied by providing
written notice to the opposite party on or before the then applicable Closing
Date.
2
(c) The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to coordinate the Closing to be effective as of the first day of a month.
Purchaser shall be entitled to possession of the Purchased Assets (subject to
the possessory rights of the Facilities' residents and to the Permitted Liens),
immediately following 11:59 p.m. on the date before the Closing Date, and all
adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be made as of the day immediately
preceding the Closing Date.
1.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets
(the "PURCHASE PRICE") shall be Ninety-Two Million Dollars ($92,000,000),
subject to further adjustments, if any, as provided for in this Agreement. At
Closing, Purchaser will also assume the Assumed Liabilities. To the extent that
the Closing and the funding of the Purchase Price does not occur as of the first
day of the month in which the Closing takes place and provided that the parties
have agreed in writing to treat the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the
assumption of the Assumed Liabilities as if they occurred as of the first day of
the month in which the Closing takes place (if this occurs, the first day of
such month shall be treated as the Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement)
then the Purchase Price shall be increased on a per diem basis equal to Fifteen
Thousand One Hundred Twenty-Three and 29/100 Dollars ($15,123.29), for each day
of delay in funding (i.e., a per diem rate of six percent (6%) per annum on the
Purchase Price).
1.4 Xxxxxxx Money. No later than 5:00 p.m. Atlanta time on
August 26th, 2003, Purchaser and Sellers shall each deliver funds to the Title
Company ("ESCROW AGENT") (pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit 1.4 hereto) in such amount as shall be elected by
Purchaser to be not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and not more than
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the amount deposited by Purchaser is
referred to as the "DEPOSIT" and the amount deposited by Sellers is referred to
as the "BREAK-UP FEE"). If the Deposit and Break-Up Fee are paid in cash then
such amounts shall each be held in an interest bearing account and any accrued
interest shall be transferred with the Deposit or Break-Up Fee, as the case may
be. In all cases, the Break-Up Fee or the Deposit, as the case may be, shall be
funded by depositing immediately available funds or a Qualifying Letter of
Credit (defined below) with Escrow Agent. As used herein, the term "Qualifying
Letter of Credit" shall mean an irrevocable, direct pay letter of credit with a
one-year term, in form and substance satisfactory to the party for whose benefit
such letter of credit is provided, issued by a commercial bank organized under
the federal laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, located
in the continental United States and having a minimum long-term unsecured debt
rating of "A" from Standard & Poor's Rating Group ("S&P") or Xxxxx'x Investors
Service ("MOODY'S") and a minimum short-term debt rating of "P-1" from S&P or
"VMIG-1" from Moody's.
1.4.1 In the event the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement shall close as provided herein, any portion of the Deposit that is
funded in cash, together with any accrued interest, shall be applied against the
Purchase Price at Closing.
1.4.2 Intentionally omitted.
1.4.3 Intentionally omitted.
3
1.5 Payment of Purchase Price. Purchaser shall pay the Purchase
Price in the following manner:
(a) (i) At Closing, Parent shall execute and deliver a
subordinated Promissory Note to MHC, as agent for Sellers, in the aggregate
principal amount of Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) substantially in the
form of Promissory Note attached hereto as Exhibit 1.5(a)(i) and made a part
hereof (the "PROMISSORY NOTE"). The remainder of the Purchase Price shall be
paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated in writing by Sellers.
(ii) Intentionally omitted.
(b) At Closing, Purchaser shall also pay in cash by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by
Sellers, the difference between One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and the
amount required to be refunded to Sellers by Title Company pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement by and among Sellers, Parent and Title Company in order to
reimburse Sellers for funding certain due diligence expenses prior to the
Effective Date.
1.6 Assumed Liabilities. At the Closing, Purchaser shall not
assume any liabilities or obligations of Sellers whatsoever, fixed or
contingent, other than those Assumed Liabilities set forth on Schedule 1.1(b)
attached hereto.
1.7 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be
allocated among the Purchased Assets acquired under this Agreement in such
manner as Purchaser shall provide in a schedule to be delivered at Closing.
Sellers and Purchaser each hereby covenant and agree that neither will take a
position on any tax return, before any governmental agency charged with the
collection of any income tax, or in any judicial proceeding that is materially
inconsistent with the terms of this Section 1.7.
1.8 No Assignment if Breach. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement
to assign any Purchased Asset, or assume any Assumed Liability, if the attempted
assignment or assumption of the same, as a result of the absence of the consent
or authorization of a third party, would constitute a breach or default under
any such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability or would in any way adversely
affect the rights, or increase the obligations, of Purchaser or Sellers with
respect thereto. If any such consent or authorization is not obtained, or if an
attempted assignment or assumption would be ineffective or would adversely
affect the rights or increase the obligations of Sellers or Purchaser with
respect to any such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, so that Purchaser
would not, in fact, receive all such rights, or assume the obligations of
Sellers, with respect thereto as they exist prior to such attempted assignment
or assumption, then Sellers and Purchaser shall enter into such cooperative
arrangements as may be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers
(including, without limitation, sublease, agency, partial closing, management,
indemnity or payment arrangements and enforcement at the cost and for the
benefit of Purchaser of any and all rights of Sellers against an involved third
party) to provide to Purchaser the benefits of such Purchased Asset or to
relieve Sellers from the obligations of such Assumed Liability, and any transfer
or assignment to Purchaser by Sellers of any such Purchased Asset, or any
assumption by Purchaser of any such Assumed Liability, which shall require such
4
consent or authorization of a third party that is not obtained shall be made
subject to such consent or authorization being obtained. If the parties cannot
agree on any such arrangement, or any such arrangement would not be reasonably
practicable, to provide Purchaser with substantially all the benefits of such
Purchased Asset or substantially all the obligations of such Assumed Liability
by the date indicated in Section 11.1(d) below and: (i) with regard to a
Purchased Asset, the inability to reach agreement with respect to the Purchased
Asset would result in a change, event or effect that is materially adverse to
the business, financial condition or prospects of the Facilities taken as a
whole, then Purchaser shall have the option of terminating this Agreement and
such termination shall not be subject to Section 11.4 hereof; or (ii) with
regard to an Assumed Liability, Sellers have the option to exclude from the
transactions represented by this Agreement such Assumed Liability and such
Assumed Liability shall be deemed an excluded liability and Purchaser and
Sellers shall agree to an adjustment in the Purchase Price. Nothing set forth
above shall have any affect on Sellers' obligation pursuant to Section 9.5
hereof.
ARTICLE II

default or breach in any material respect under their respective Real Property
Leases, which default or breach has not been cured or waived. To the applicable
Sellers' knowledge, no event has occurred which with the giving of notice or

person any
18
information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist

person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4.18 or elsewhere in this Agreement: (i) each Seller
shall have the unrestricted right and option to sell to any party all or any
portion of its stock or (general or limited) partnership interests, as the case
may be, so long as (a) such sale is subject to all of such Seller's obligations
and Purchaser's rights under this Agreement, or (b) such sale is not consummated
until the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
earlier termination of this Agreement; and (ii) nothing herein shall otherwise
prevent Sellers or any affiliate of Sellers from disposing of other assets that
do not constitute Purchased Assets, provided, however, that if at any time prior
to the Closing Date, the Board of Directors of MHC ("PARENT BOARD") determines
in good faith that it has received an Alternative Proposal (defined below) that
the Parent Board determines is reasonably likely to result in a Superior
Proposal (defined below), the Sellers and MHC may: (x) furnish information with
respect to the Sellers to the person making such Alternative Proposal pursuant
to a customary confidentiality agreement; and (y) participate in discussions and
negotiations with such person regarding such Alternative Proposal. For purposes
of this Agreement, "ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL" means: (q) any proposal or offer from
any person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of assets
or equity securities (or rights to purchase such securities), of Sellers, any
tender offer or exchange offer for any class of equity securities of MHC, or any
merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation,
dissolution or similar transaction involving MHC or a majority of the Sellers;
or (r) any other transaction that is conditioned upon the termination of this
Agreement or that would be reasonably expected, if consummated, to frustrate the
completion of the transaction contemplated hereby. "SUPERIOR PROPOSAL" means any
bona fide, unsolicited written Alternative Proposal that did not result from a
breach of this Section 4.18 and that involves the payment of consideration and
other terms and conditions that, taken as a whole, the Parent Board determines
in good faith, taking into account all the terms and conditions of the
Alternative Proposal, including the nature and amount of the consideration to be
received, break-up fees, conditions to consummation and the likelihood of
completion, are more favorable and provide greater value to MHC than as provided
pursuant to this Agreement. MHC shall notify Purchaser promptly after receipt by
MHC (or any of its advisors) of any Alternative Proposal or any request for
access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of MHC or any of
the Sellers by any person that may be considering making, or has made, an
Alternative Proposal, which notice shall identify in reasonable detail the
person making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Alternative
Proposal, indication or request. Prior to furnishing confidential information
to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with any person with respect to
an Alternative Proposal, MHC and Sellers, as appropriate, must obtain from such
other person an executed confidentiality agreement with terms no more favorable
to such person than those contained in the confidentiality agreement referred to
in Section 4.11 hereof.

Encumbrance with respect to any Section 2.8 Facility specified in a Section 2.8
MOU. Upon the elimination of all of the Section 2.8 Encumbrances with respect to
any Section 2.8 Facility, Seller shall give Purchaser written
19
notice of the same and the transfer of fee simple title from Sellers to
Purchaser with respect to such Facility shall be consummated within twenty (20)
business days following the date of such notice (the "SECTION 2.8 FACILITY
DELAYED CLOSING DATE"). On the Section 2.8 Facility Delayed Closing Date (i)
Purchaser shall pay to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account designated by Sellers an amount equal to the amount set forth on
Schedule 2.8(a) that was previously withheld from the cash portion of the
Purchase Price as a consequence of such Facility being a Section 2.8 Facility
and shall deliver an amended and restated Promissory Note reflecting an
appropriate increase in the principal amount thereof equal to the reduction
taken upon such Facility becoming a Section 2.8 Facility pursuant to Section 2.8
and as set forth in Schedule 2.8(a) and (ii) Sellers shall execute and deliver
such instruments of sale, assignment and transfer relating to the subject
Section 2.8 Facility as shall be necessary to transfer the same to Purchaser
together with any Personal Property, Personal Property Leases, Inventory,
Assumed Contracts, Business Records and other items that were classified on the
Closing Date as Excluded Assets pursuant to Schedule 1.1(c)(y) as a result of
such Facility being a Section 2.8 Facility. The obligations of the parties to
consummate a transaction on any one or more Section 2.8 Facility Delayed Closing
Date shall be subject only to those conditions to closing as are directly
relevant to the Facility then being conveyed and, in connection therewith,
Purchaser and Sellers shall make only those closing deliveries as are directly
relevant to the conveyance of the subject Facility. For purposes of determining
whether the Weighted Average Occupancy requirement pertaining to any Section 2.8
Facility that is to be conveyed to Purchaser on a Section 2.8 Facility Delayed
Closing Date has been met, (i) the Average Resident Days for such Facility for
the seven calendar day period ending on and including the date that is ten (10)
days prior to the Section 2.8 Facility Delayed Closing Date shall be determined
and then (ii) the Weighted Average Occupancy for the Non-Withdrawn Facilities
determined as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.9 will be recalculated
to include the Average Resident Days and the Licensed Beds attributable to such
Section 2.8 Facility. Sellers will be deemed to have satisfied the condition set
forth in Section 8.9 hereof with respect to the subject section 2.8 Facility if
the Weighted Average Occupancy for the Non-Withdrawn Facilities as supplemented
by the subject Section 2.8 Facility continues to be at least eighty-eight
percent (88%). For the avoidance of doubt, in making the foregoing calculation,
the Average Resident Days and Licensed Beds attributable to the Non-Withdrawn
Facilities determined for the seven calendar day period ending on and including
the Measurement Date in connection with the Closing shall not change. The
representations and warranties of the various parties hereto contained in this
Agreement shall only be given as of the then applicable Section 2.8 Facility
Delayed Closing Date as they relate to the subject Facility. The survival period
for any representations and warranties given on the Section 2.8 Facility Delayed
Closing Date shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, except that

Tampa Facility Delayed Closing Election (defined below), on or before the
Closing Date, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain fee
simple title to Mariner Health of Tampa and provide Purchaser evidence of the
same. Any reasonable cost or expense incurred in obtaining fee simple title to
Mariner Health of Tampa shall be paid by the Sellers. If Sellers obtain fee
simple title, to Mariner Health of Tampa, Sellers shall convey fee simple title
to the Mariner Health of Tampa Facility to Purchaser at the Closing. If Sellers
cannot obtain and transfer to Purchaser at Closing fee simple title to Mariner
Health of Tampa in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8 of this
Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
20
amount set forth on Schedule 2.8(a) with such reduction allocated on a pro rata
basis between cash and the principal amount of the Promissory Note as set forth
on Schedule 2.8(a) and Sellers shall have the option of electing to delay the
Closing (the "TAMPA FACILITY DELAYED CLOSING ELECTION") with respect to such
facility until December 31, 2003 (the "DELAY PERIOD") by providing Purchaser
with written notice of such election no later than the Measurement Date (as
defined below). During the Delay Period, Sellers shall continue to use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain fee simple title to Mariner Health of
Tampa on the same basis as described above in this paragraph. If Sellers are
unable to obtain fee simple title to Mariner Health of Tampa by the end of the
Delay Period, then either Sellers or Purchaser may withdraw Mariner Health of
Tampa from this Agreement. If Sellers exercise the Tampa Facility Delayed
Closing Election and are thereafter able to obtain fee simple title to Mariner
Health of Tampa prior to December 31, 2003, Sellers shall give Purchaser written
notice of such event and the consummation of the transfer of fee simple title to
Mariner Health of Tampa from Sellers to Purchaser shall be completed no later
than twenty (20) business days following the date of such notice (the "TAMPA
FACILITY DELAYED CLOSING DATE"). On the Tampa Facility Delayed Closing Date
Purchaser shall (i) pay to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an account designated by Sellers cash in an amount equal to the amount
that was previously withheld from the cash portion of the Purchase Price as a
consequence of the inability to deliver fee simple title to Mariner Health of
Tampa and deliver an amended and restated Promissory Note reflecting an
appropriate increase in the principal amount thereof equal to the reduction
previously taken upon the inability to deliver fee simple title to Mariner
Health of Tampa and (ii) Sellers shall execute and deliver such instruments of
sale, assignment and transfer relating to Mariner Health of Tampa as shall be
necessary to transfer the same to Purchaser together with any Personal Property,
Personal Property Leases, Inventory, Assumed Contracts, Business Records and
other items that were classified on the Closing Date as Excluded Assets pursuant
to Schedule 1.1(c)(y) as a result of the exercise by Sellers of the Tampa
Facility Delayed Closing Election. The obligations of the parties to consummate
the transactions on the Tampa Facility Delayed Closing Date shall be subject
only to those conditions to closing as are directly relevant to the Mariner
Health of Tampa Facility and, in connection therewith, Purchaser and Sellers
shall make only those closing deliveries as are directly relevant to the
transfer of fee simple title to Mariner Health of Tampa Facility. For purposes
of determining whether the Weighted Average Occupancy requirement pertaining to
Mariner Health of Tampa has been met, (i) the Average Resident Days for Mariner
Health of Tampa for the seven calendar day period ending on and including the
date that is ten (10) days prior to Tampa Facility Delayed Closing Date shall be
determined and then (ii) the Weighted Average Occupancy for the Non-Withdrawn
Facilities determined as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.9 will be
recalculated to include the Average Resident Days and the Licensed Beds
attributable to the Mariner Health of Tampa Facility. Sellers will be deemed to
have satisfied the condition set forth in Section 8.9 hereof with respect to the
Mariner Health of Tampa Facility if the Weighted Average Occupancy for the
Non-Withdrawn Facilities as supplemented by the Mariner Health of Tampa Facility
continues to be at least eighty-eight percent (88%). For the avoidance of doubt,
in making the foregoing calculation, the Average Resident Days and Licensed Beds
attributable to the Non-Withdrawn Facilities determined for the seven calendar
day period ending on and including the Measurement Date in connection with the
Closing shall not change. The representations and warranties of the various
parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall only be given as of the Tampa
Facility Delayed Closing Date as they directly relate to the Mariner Health of
Tampa Facility. The survival period for any representations and warranties given
on the Tampa Facility Delayed Closing Date shall be as set forth in Section 7.1
of this Agreement, except that
21
references in such section to the "Closing Date" shall be deemed to be
references to the Tampa Facility Delayed Closing Date.
4.23 Mariner Health of St. Augustine. Subject to Seller's right to
make the St. Augustine Facility Delayed Closing Election (defined below), on or
before the Closing Date, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain a consent to assignment of the Real Property Lease of Mariner Health of
St. Augustine and provide Purchaser evidence of the same. In the event the
Sellers are unsuccessful in obtaining the consent required by the prior
sentence, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a sublease
on or before the Closing Date and provide Purchaser evidence of the same. If
Sellers cannot obtain any of the foregoing prior to the Closing Date and Sellers
do not make the St. Augustine Facility Delayed Closing Election, either Sellers
or Purchaser may withdraw Mariner Health of St. Augustine from this Agreement.
The Purchase Price shall not be reduced or increased by the exclusion or
inclusion of Mariner Health of St. Augustine as a Purchased Asset. Sellers shall
have the option of electing to delay the Closing (the "ST. AUGUSTINE FACILITY
DELAYED CLOSING ELECTION") with respect to the Mariner Health of St. Augustine
Facility through the Delay Period by providing Purchaser with written notice of
such election no later than the Measurement Date. During the Delay Period,
Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a
consent to assignment of the Real Property Lease of the Mariner Health of St.
Augustine Facility on the same basis as described above in this paragraph. In
the event that during the Delay Period Sellers determine that they cannot obtain
a consent to such assignment on or before the end of the Delay Period, Purchaser
and Sellers shall enter into a sublease with respect to the Mariner Health of
St. Augustine Facility. If Sellers are unable to (i) obtain any of the foregoing
by the end of the Delay Period or (ii) resolve any UST Remediated Conditions
that exist at Mariner Health of St. Augustine where the estimated cost to
remediate exceeds $100,000, then either Sellers or Purchaser may withdraw
Mariner Health of St. Augustine from this Agreement. If Sellers exercise the St.
Augustine Facility Delayed Closing Election and they are able to obtain one of
the alternatives described above prior to December 31, 2003 and resolve any UST
Remediated Conditions as contemplated by Section 6.2(b) hereof, Sellers shall
give Purchaser written notice of such event specifying which alternative has
been obtained and the assignment of the relevant lease, or entering into a
sublease, shall be completed no later than twenty (20) business days following
the date of such notice (the "ST. AUGUSTINE FACILITY DELAYED CLOSING DATE"). At
the St. Augustine Facility Delayed Closing Date, Purchaser and Sellers shall
enter into an amendment of this Agreement as appropriate to reflect the
alternative obtained by Sellers and Sellers shall execute and deliver such
instruments of sale, assignment and transfer relating to Mariner Health of St.
Augustine Facility as shall be necessary to transfer the same to Purchaser

Assumed Contracts, Business Records and other items that were classified on the
Closing Date as Excluded Assets pursuant to Schedule 1.1(c)(y) as a result of
the exercise by Sellers of the St. Augustine Facility Delayed Closing Election.
In the event that Sellers are assigning the relevant lease or entering into a
sublease with Purchaser, Purchaser shall accept assignment of the relevant lease
or enter into a sublease with Sellers, as applicable. The obligations of the
parties to consummate the transactions on the St. Augustine Facility Delayed
Closing Date shall be subject only to those conditions as are directly relevant
to the Mariner Health of St. Augustine Facility and the specific alternative
obtained by Purchaser. Similarly, Purchaser and Sellers shall make only those
closing deliveries as are directly relevant to the Mariner Health of St.
Augustine Facility and the alternative obtained. For purposes of determining
whether the Weighted Average Occupancy requirement pertaining to Mariner Health
of St. Augustine has been met, (i) the Average Resident Days for Mariner Health
22
of St. Augustine for the seven calendar day period ending on and including the
date that is ten (10) days prior to St. Augustine Facility Delayed Closing Date
shall be determined and then (ii) the Weighted Average Occupancy for the
Non-Withdrawn Facilities determined as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section
8.9 will be recalculated to include the Average Resident Days and the Licensed
Beds attributable to the Mariner Health of St. Augustine Facility. Sellers will
be deemed to have satisfied the condition set forth in Section 8.9 hereof with
respect to the Mariner Health of St. Augustine Facility if the Weighted Average
Occupancy for the Non-Withdrawn Facilities as supplemented by the Mariner Health
of St. Augustine Facility continues to be at least eighty-eight percent (88%).
For the avoidance of doubt, in making the foregoing calculation, the Average
Resident Days and Licensed Beds attributable to the Non-Withdrawn Facilities
determined for the seven calendar day period ending on and including the
Measurement Date in connection with the Closing shall not change. The
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall only be given
as of such date as they directly relate to the Mariner Health of St. Augustine
Facility and with regard to such facility only. The survival period for any
representations and warranties given on the St. Augustine Facility Delayed
Closing Date shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, except that

give Purchaser written notice of the same and the transfer of fee simple title
from Sellers to Purchaser with respect to such Facility shall be consummated

be subject only to those conditions to closing as are directly relevant to the
Section 2.9 Facility then being conveyed and, in connection therewith, Purchaser
and Sellers shall make only those closing deliveries as are directly relevant to
the conveyance of the subject Facility. For purposes of determining whether the

non-binding term sheet), MHC shall supplement the Promissory Note Assignment
Notice (the "Second Note Assignment Notice") to provide in reasonable detail the

further obligation under this Section 5.14 and MHC Management shall not have any
right to designate an operator as set forth herein. Provided that the subject

Closing, Sellers at their option may take such actions as are necessary to
resolve any of the Remediated Conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of
Purchaser and its senior lenders. Sellers will provide Purchaser notice when
they have resolved any of the
27
Remediated Conditions and will provide Purchaser with documentation

such expenditure. Purchaser shall provide Sellers with five (5) business days

REMEDIATED CONDITIONS") in an amount up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars per
Section 2.9 Facility (the "UST REMEDIATION FUND"). Following the Effective Date

ten business days prior to the Closing Date, that Mariner Health of St.
Augustine will be a Purchased Asset as of the Closing Date or (ii) subsequent to

Section 2.9 Facility, Sellers shall deposit with an escrow agent designated by
Purchaser an amount equal to the estimated cost established by such applicable
Phase II Survey to remediate the UST Remediated Conditions applicable to the
Section 2.9 Facilities then being conveyed to Purchaser (the "ESCROWED UST
REMEDIATION FUND"). Subject to the terms set forth below, Purchaser shall use
the Escrowed UST Remediation Fund solely for the purpose of remedying the UST
Remediated Conditions and will act in good faith to ensure that any amounts
expended from the Escrowed UST Remediation Fund are used efficiently and shall
consult with Sellers in connection therewith to minimize the
28
amount of any such expenditure. Purchaser shall provide Sellers with five (5)
business days prior notice to review any proposed expenditure of monies monies
from the Escrowed UST Remediation Fund in excess of $10,000. Purchaser waives
any right to assert the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement or to seek indemnification in connection with any
claim that is directly or indirectly related to any of the UST Remediated
Conditions relating to a Section 2.9 Facility that has been conveyed to
Purchaser and Sellers' sole obligation with respect to any such Section 2.9
Facility shall be limited to the Escrowed UST Remediation Fund. Any portion of
the Escrowed UST Remediation Fund that is not specifically allocated to an
expense in connection with the resolution of the UST Remediated Conditions by
the Remediation Fund Release Date shall be promptly returned to Sellers. In the
event that the estimated cost established by the applicable Phase II Survey to
remediate the UST Remediated Conditions applicable to any Section 2.9 Facility
exceeds $100,000, Purchaser may elect to accept from Sellers $100,000 in the
Escrowed UST Remediation Fund and consummate the Closing pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 6.2(b) or declare that such Section 2.9 Facility
shall be excluded from the Purchased Assets until such time as the UST
Remediated Conditions affecting such Facility have been resolved to Purchaser's
satisfaction at which time such Facility will be conveyed to Purchaser pursuant
to Section 4.24 hereof and the Purchase Price (allocated on a pro rata basis
between cash and the Promissory Note) shall be reduced by the amount set forth
in Schedule 2.8(a) and any such Section 2.9 Facility shall thereafter be subject
to the provisions of Section 4.24 (with Mariner Health of St. Augustine being
subject to the provisions of Section 4.23).
6.3 Risk of Loss. All risk of loss of, or damage to, or
destruction of, the Purchased Assets shall belong to and be borne by the Sellers
up to the Closing Date. In the event that any Purchased Asset suffers a material
loss or damage or any Purchased Asset is destroyed such that such loss, damage
or destruction would materially impair Purchaser's ability to operate a Facility
as presently operated and the Sellers fail or are unable to repair or replace
such asset in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser prior to the Closing
Date, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the insurance proceeds with
respect to such asset and shall close the transactions contemplated herein
notwithstanding such loss, damage or destruction.

other party and that such party may reasonably request in connection with any
filing with a governmental or regulatory body or with any third party in
connection with consummating the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to

with such party's past practices and is taken in the ordinary course of such
party's normal day-to-day operations; and (b) such action is not required to be
