(ii) if such Eligible Employee does not execute and deliver a separation agreement and release in a form attached as Exhibit 5 hereto (each, a “Separation Agreement”);

Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to Parent by the Debtor simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Debtor Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Debtor Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any other section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent), the Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser Entities that:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Debtor is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own,

lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Debtor has made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the Debtor’s and its material Subsidiaries’ certificates of incorporation and by-laws or comparable governing documents, each as amended to the date of this Agreement, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to the Debtor means a change, event or occurrence that has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties, assets, liabilities, business or results of operations of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that none of the following, and no changes, events, occurrences or effects, to the extent arising out of or resulting from any of the following, shall constitute or be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or may, would or could occur with respect to the Debtor:

(i) changes in or generally affecting the economy, credit, capital or financial markets or political conditions generally in the United States or elsewhere in the world, including changes in interest and exchange rates, or changes that are the result of acts of war (whether or not declared), armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism, any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war (whether or not declared), epidemics, pandemics, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados or other natural disasters;

(ii) changes that are the result of factors generally affecting the industries in which the Debtor and its Subsidiaries operate or in which the services of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries are used and distributed;

(iii) any loss of, or adverse change or effect in, the relationship of the Debtor with its customers, employees, financing sources or suppliers, caused by entry into or the pendency or the announcement of the Transactions;

(iv) changes from the entry into, announcement or performance of this Agreement (including any litigation arising from allegations of any breach of fiduciary duty or violation of Law relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, or compliance by the Debtor with the terms of this Agreement);

(v) changes or prospective changes in United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or in any law, statute, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement or the interpretation or enforcement thereof;

(vi) any failure by the Debtor to meet any projections, forecasts or estimates of revenues or earnings for any period, provided that the exception in this clause shall not (on its own) prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, event or occurrence underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect;

(vii) (A) any action taken by the Debtor or its Subsidiaries at Parent’s written request or (B) the failure to take any action by the Debtor or its Subsidiaries if that action is prohibited by this Agreement to the extent that Parent fails to give its consent after receipt of a written request therefor;

(viii) any change or announcement of a potential change in the credit rating of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries or its obligations, provided that the exception in this clause shall not (on its own) prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, event or occurrence underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect; or

(ix) loss of customers or patients (and loss of revenue associated therewith), change in or tightening of payment or other terms provided by vendors, suppliers or service providers to the Debtor or its Subsidiaries, in each case, occurring since December 31, 2017 through the date of this Agreement;

provided, further, that, with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (v), such change, event or occurrence does not disproportionately adversely affect the Debtor and its Subsidiaries compared to other companies operating in the principal industries in which the Debtor and its Subsidiaries operate.

(b) Capital Structure.

(i) The authorized capital stock of the Debtor consists of 55,000,000 shares of common stock of the Debtor, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), and 50,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Shares”), of which 44,944,057 Shares and 2,000 Preferred Shares, respectively, were outstanding as of the close of business on February 28, 2018. All of the outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Other than 2,031,614 Shares reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan of the Debtor (the “Stock Plan”), the Debtor has no Shares reserved for issuance.

(ii) Section 2.1(b)(ii) of the Debtor Disclosure Letter sets forth (x) each of the Debtor’s Subsidiaries and the ownership interest of the Debtor in each such Subsidiary, as well as the ownership interest of any other Person or Persons in each such Subsidiary and (y) the Debtor’s or its Subsidiaries’ capital stock, equity interest or other direct or indirect ownership interest in any other Person other than securities in a publicly traded company held for investment by the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries and consisting of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of such company.

(c) Corporate Authority and Approval. The Debtor has all requisite corporate power, authority and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement or to be executed by the Debtor in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (the “Debtor Documents”) and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Debtor Documents and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Debtor. This Agreement has been, and the Debtor

Documents will be at or prior to the Closing, duly and validly executed and delivered by, or on behalf of, the Debtor and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto and the entry of the Confirmation Order) this Agreement constitutes, and each of the Debtor Documents when so executed and delivered will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Debtor and each of its applicable Subsidiaries, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Debtor do not, and the consummation of the Transactions will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Debtor or the comparable governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries or (B) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or default under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the assets of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any agreement, lease, license, contract, note, mortgage, indenture, arrangement or other obligation, in each case, not otherwise terminable by the other party thereto on sixty (60) days’ or less notice (each, a “Contract”) to which the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries or its or any of their respective properties are bound or (C) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 2.1(d)(i), a violation of any Law to which the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, except in the case of clause (B) or (C), for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that is not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss, statements of cash flows and statements of equity included in the Audited Financial Statements (including any related notes thereto) fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, as the case may be, of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods set forth therein, as applicable, in each case in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied during the periods involved, except as specifically noted therein.

(ii) The Debtor and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls designed, in all material respects, to provide reasonable assurances (i) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (ii) that receipts and expenditures of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries are being made in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management and the Debtor Board and (iii) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries.

No significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of the Debtor’s system of internal control over financial reporting were identified in the Debtor’s most recent assessment that would be reasonably likely to materially affect the Debtor’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. As used herein, “Knowledge of the Debtor” means the actual (but not constructive or imputed) knowledge of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer or general counsel of the Debtor (without any obligation of further review and/or inquiry).

(f) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the date of the most recent Audited Financial Statements through the date hereof, there has not been:

(iii) any material change in any method of accounting or accounting practice by the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries;

2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser Entities. Except as set forth in the forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents filed with or furnished to the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or the Securities Act (excluding, in each case, any disclosures set forth in any risk factor section or in any other section to the extent they are forward-looking statements or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), the Purchaser Entities each hereby represent and warrant to the Debtor that:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Purchaser Entities is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in such good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or impair the ability of the Purchaser Entities to consummate the Transactions.

(b) Corporate Authority. No vote of holders of capital stock of Parent is necessary to approve this Agreement or the other Transactions. Each of the Purchaser Entities has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority and has taken all corporate or similar action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Purchaser Entities and is a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser Entities, enforceable against each of Purchaser Entities in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

(i) Other than the Governmental Approvals, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by the Purchaser Entities with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by the Purchaser Entities from, any Governmental Entity in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser Entities and the consummation by the Purchaser Entities of the Transactions, except those that the failure to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the ability of the Purchaser Entities to consummate the Transactions.

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser Entities do not, and the consummation by the Purchaser Entities of the Transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Purchaser Entities or the comparable

governing instruments of any of their respective Subsidiaries, (B) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or a default under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the assets of the Purchaser Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to, any Contracts binding upon the Purchaser Entities or any Laws or governmental or non-governmental permit or license to which the Purchaser Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries is subject, or (C) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any of such Contracts, except, in the case of clause (B) or (C) above, for any breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the ability of the Purchaser Entities to consummate the Transactions.

(d) Capitalization of Purchaser. All of the issued and outstanding partnership interests of Purchaser are, and at the Closing Date will be, owned by Parent or a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent. All of the partnership interests of Purchaser have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Purchaser, dated as of October 31, 2016 (the “Purchaser LP Agreement”), and, except as set forth in the Purchaser LP Agreement, are fully paid (to the extent required under the Purchaser LP Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Section 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, and the Purchaser LP Agreement).

(e) Proceedings. As of the date of this Agreement, other than the Bankruptcy Case and chapter 11 proceedings for HCR III and/or its Subsidiaries, there are no Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the officers of the Purchaser Entities, threatened against the Purchaser Entities that seek to enjoin, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, making illegal, materially delaying or otherwise interfering with the ability of the Purchaser Entities to consummate the Transactions.

(f) No Other Company Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, the Purchaser Entities hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the Debtor nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives, has made or is making any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or operations, including with respect to any information provided or made available to the Purchaser Entities. Subject to Section 8.1(a), neither the Debtor nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives, will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Purchaser Entities resulting from the delivery, dissemination or any other distribution to the Purchaser Entities, or the use by the Purchaser Entities, of any such information provided or made available to them by the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives, including any information, documents, estimates, projections, forecasts or other forward-looking information, business plans or other material provided or made available to Parent, the Purchaser Entities or any of their Affiliates or Representatives, in anticipation or contemplation of any of the Transactions.

(g) Non-Reliance on Debtor Estimates, Projections, Forecasts, Forward-Looking Statements and Business Plans. In connection with the due diligence investigation of

the Debtor by the Purchaser Entities, the Purchaser Entities have received and may continue to receive from the Debtor certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Debtor, its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses and operations. The Purchaser Entities hereby acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, with which Purchaser Entities are familiar, that the Purchaser Entities are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans, so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and that, subject to Section 8.1(a), the Purchaser Entities will have no claim against the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives, with respect thereto. Accordingly, the Purchaser Entities hereby acknowledge that neither the Debtor nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives, has made or is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans).

The Debtor shall continue to deliver its financial information and other reports required pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease. The Debtor shall cooperate to provide Parent with access and information reasonably requested by Parent to facilitate the consolidation of the Debtor’s financial results with and into those of Parent following Closing, including establishment by Parent of accounting and financial reporting systems, systems of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls as defined in the Exchange Act.

To the extent any party is required to make any press release or public announcement by Law or by obligations pursuant to any rules of any national securities exchange, such party shall (i) to the extent practicable, consult with the other parties hereto prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Transactions and prior to making any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect thereto, except as may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any rules of any national securities exchange, (ii) to the extent practicable, provide the other parties hereto with a reasonable opportunity to review and

(b) Parent shall use all reasonable endeavors to procure that any employee benefit plans which the employees of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries are entitled to participate in to take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual thereunder (other than any benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plans), service by employees of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries as if such service were with Parent, to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable plan of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries (except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits).

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to: (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Plan; (ii) prevent Parent, the Debtor or any of their Affiliates from amending or terminating any of their benefit plans (or, after the Closing Date, any Company Plan) in accordance with their terms; (iii) prevent Parent, the Debtor or any of its Affiliates, after the Closing Date, from terminating the employment of any employee of the Debtor; or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Debtor, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any such employee by Parent, the Debtor or any of their Affiliates or under any benefit plan which Parent, the Debtor or any of their Affiliates may maintain.

(e) 280G Vote.

(i) At least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Debtor shall submit for approval by its stockholders, in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “280G Stockholder Vote”), any payments that would reasonably be expected to constitute a “parachute payment” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (each, a “Parachute Payment”).

(ii) The Debtor shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to obtain, at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, irrevocable waivers of the right to any Parachute Payment from each of the applicable “disqualified individuals” (as defined under Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder).

(iii) True and complete copies of all disclosure and documents that comprise the stockholder approval of each Parachute Payment shall be delivered to Parent in sufficient time to allow Parent to comment thereon, but no less than five (5) business days prior to the 280G Stockholder Vote, and shall reflect all reasonable comments of Parent thereon.

(b) The Debtor and its Subsidiaries’ sole financial advisor shall be Moelis & Company, and the Debtor shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, hire any additional financial advisor. The Debtor shall not agree to any change in the financial terms of any agreement pursuant to which Moelis & Company is entitled to any fees and expenses in connection with any of the Transactions.

4.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, each of Parent and the Debtor agrees that it will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (whether or not incurred in connection with any Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) arising out of or related to such Indemnified Party’s service or status as an officer or director of the Debtor or one of its Subsidiaries or any action or inaction on the part of any such Person in such capacity, in each case, as of prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent such Indemnified Party would be permitted to be indemnified by the Debtor or its applicable Subsidiary under applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Debtor or its applicable Subsidiary in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) Prior to or as of the Closing Date, the Debtor shall (after reasonable consultation with Parent) and, if the Debtor is unable to, Parent shall cause the Debtor as of the Closing Date to obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” insurance policies for the extension of (i) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the existing fiduciary liability insurance policies of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Closing Date (the “Tail Period”) from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Debtor’s insurance carrier as of the date hereof with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the Debtor’s existing policies with respect

to any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided that in no event shall the aggregate cost of the D&O Insurance exceed during the Tail Period 300% of the current aggregate annual premiums paid by the Debtor for such insurance. If the Debtor for any reason fails to obtain such insurance policies as of the Closing Date, the Debtor shall, and Parent shall cause the Debtor to, continue to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Debtor’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Debtor shall, and Parent shall cause the Debtor to, use reasonable best efforts to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for the Tail Period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Debtor’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual cost of the D&O Insurance exceed during the Tail Period 150% of the current aggregate annual premiums paid by the Debtor for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Debtor shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. From and after the Closing Date, except as required by applicable Law, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of each of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties with respect to limitation of liabilities, advancement of expenses and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in each of such documents of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries. In the event of any Proceeding or investigation for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.7, (A) Debtor shall, and Parent shall cause the Debtor and its Subsidiaries to, defend the Indemnified Party with respect to any such Proceeding or investigation and (B) Parent shall not, and shall cause the Debtor and its Subsidiaries not to, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding or investigation pending or threatened in writing to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder) without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or investigation. Parent agrees that all rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing as provided in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries and any indemnification agreements entered into prior to the date hereof, including provisions relating to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any Proceeding or investigation, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Such rights shall not be amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any of the Indemnified Parties for any acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of each affected Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 4.7, upon learning of any such Proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Parent and the Debtor thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent

or the Debtor of any Liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party.

(d) If Parent or the Debtor or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Debtor shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.7.

(e) The provisions of this Section 4.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(f) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 4.7 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws. All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or comparable governing documents of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Transactions and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(g) Each of Parent and the Debtor hereby acknowledges that the Indemnified Parties have or may, in the future, have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Persons other than Parent, the Debtor or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors” and, individually, an “Other Indemnitor”) with respect to Proceedings or investigations that are the subject of Section 4.7(a). The Debtor hereby agrees that if any advancement or indemnification obligation is owed, at any time, to an Indemnified Party for the same Proceeding or investigation by both (i) Parent or the Debtor, including under Section 4.7(a), and (ii) any Other Indemnitor (whether pursuant to any certificate of incorporation, by-laws or comparable organizational documents, indemnification agreement or other agreements), the Debtor shall (and if it is unable or fails to honor its obligations under this Section 4.7, Parent shall) be primarily liable for indemnification and advancement of expenses to such Indemnified Parties in respect of such Proceeding or investigation, and any obligation of an Other Indemnitor to provide indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be secondary to the obligations of the Debtor (or if it is unable or fails to honor its obligations under this Section 4.7, Parent) under this Section 4.7. Parent and the Debtor irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims (A) against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect of the indemnification arrangements provided to such Indemnified Parties by such Other Indemnitors and (B) that the Indemnified Party must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Other Indemnitor before Parent and the Debtor must perform their expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. If any Other Indemnitor pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts

otherwise indemnifiable or subject to advancement under this Section 4.7, then (1) such Other Indemnitor shall be fully subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Parties with respect to the payments actually made and (2) the Debtor shall reimburse the Other Indemnitor for the payments actually made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s rights against the Debtor for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect of the indemnification arrangements provided by Parent and Debtor to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 4.7 are hereby preserved.

4.8 Confidentiality. Unless and until Closing occurs, no party hereto shall disclose any information provided to such party or its Representatives pursuant to Section 4.3 or any other provision of this Agreement, or any non-public information related to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transactions, other than (a) disclosure to such party’s Representatives (provided that such Representatives agree to comply with this Section 4.8 as if they were a party hereto and that such party shall be responsible for any Representative of such party to so comply with this Section 4.8), (b) as required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any rules of any national securities exchange, the SEC or by the request of any Governmental Entity, and (c) subject to reasonable customary confidentiality arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Debtor, any Person who expresses a bona fide interest in acquiring all or part of the Business or any business entities, properties or assets of the Debtors and its Subsidiaries following the Closing, including any potential joint venture partner (a “Potential Acquiror”) and actual or potential purchasers, replacement tenants, third-party operators or other partners of Parent with respect to the remarketing of the Leased Facilities pursuant to the SNF/AL Remarketing Process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall in any way limit any existing rights of any party to the Master Lease to use or disclose information under the terms of the Master Lease.

4.9 Financing.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Debt Financing Sources” means the Persons that will provide or otherwise enter into agreements in connection with the Financing, together with, in each case, their Affiliates and Representatives.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Debtor, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, or Representatives shall (i) be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee other than any such fee that may be payable by the Debtor or its Subsidiaries at the Closing, (ii) be required to incur any other liability in connection with the Financing other than any such liabilities to be incurred by the Debtor or its Subsidiaries arising after the Closing occurs or liabilities for costs and expenses to the extent required to be indemnified or reimbursed by Parent, (iii) otherwise be required to take any action in violation of any of the Debtor’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents or that Debtor determines in good faith could reasonably be expected to violate any applicable Law or Contract, (iv) be required to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or terms of any other Contract to which the Debtor or its Subsidiaries is a party, (v) be required to provide cooperation to the extent it would (y) cause any condition to the Closing set forth in ARTICLE VI not to be satisfied or (z) cause a breach of this Agreement, (vi) be required to deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel or (vii) provide access to or disclose information where the Debtor reasonably determines that such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law or Contract to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, provided that in the event that the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries does not provide information in reliance on the exclusions in this subclause (vii), the Debtor and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Parent promptly upon obtaining knowledge that such information is being withheld (but solely if providing such notice would not violate such obligation of confidentiality). No director or officer of the Debtor or its Subsidiaries, acting in such capacity, shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into or perform any agreement, document or instrument, including any definitive documentation with respect to the Financing, or adopt any resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing is obtained, except with respect to the delivery of customary representation and authorization letters in connection with the Marketing Documentation. Nothing hereunder will require any officer or representative of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action that would result in personal liability to such officer or representative. Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Debtor and its Subsidiaries, and their respective officers, employees and Representatives, from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of

the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith, except in the event such liabilities or losses arose out of or result from (A) the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of the Debtor and its subsidiaries or (B) historical information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries, including financial statements. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, the Debtor and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide any such requested cooperation that shall unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the ongoing operations of the Debtor or its Subsidiaries.

written reports provided to the current CEO and CFO, (v) opportunity to review and comment on all external and broadly-distributed internal communications by the Debtor’s management, (vi) attendance at any and all telephonic and in-person meetings of the Debtor Board (other than executive sessions of the Debtor Board and other than the portion of any meeting from which employee members of the Debtor Board are excluded or involving, in the good faith judgment of the Debtor Board, any actual or potential conflict of interest with the Purchaser Entities or as may be reasonably necessary to preserve attorney client privilege, in the good faith judgment of the Debtor Board), (vii) bi-weekly calls with independent directors of the Debtor to address access or other concerns; provided that the CRO shall also participate in such calls, and (viii) direct access to all employees of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries, subject to coordination with, and reasonable approval of, the CRO. If either of the QCP Consultants is no longer able to perform the functions of such position due to death or disability or such individual resigns or is convicted of a felony, he or she shall be discharged of his or her duties by Parent, and a replacement QCP Consultant shall be appointed by Parent, subject to reasonable approval of such person by the Debtor Board and the CRO. If (i) the Debtor Board (A) determines that either of the QCP Consultants willfully fails to materially comply with any restrictions on the authority and activities of the QCP Consultants set forth in Section 5.1(b)(iv) (the restriction not so complied with being referred to as the “Applicable Restriction”)) and (B) notifies Parent in writing of such determination, and (ii) such QCP Consultant thereafter again willfully fails to materially comply with such Applicable Restriction, such QCP Consultant may be terminated as a QCP Consultant by the Debtor and denied the rights and access described in this Section 5.1(b) with the approval of the Debtor Board and the CRO, in which case a replacement QCP Consultant shall be appointed by Parent, subject to reasonable approval of such person by the Debtor Board and the CRO. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the QCP Consultants shall be deemed to be a Representative of Parent for purposes of Section 4.8 and Parent shall be responsible for any failure of either QCP Consultant to comply with Section 4.8 as if such QCP Consultant were a party thereto.

(ii) Subject to the other terms of this Section 5.1(b), the Debtor shall promptly provide information to, and access to its properties and personnel to, the QCP Consultants as reasonably requested by Parent or the QCP Consultants so as to enable the QCP Consultants to accomplish the following:

(A) prior to the Closing Date, formulating a comprehensive, detailed business plan that could begin to be implemented immediately following the Closing, including (1) the identification of potential cost reductions in the operations of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries and analysis of the operations of the remaining Leased Facilities following the completion of the SNF/AL Remarketing Process, (2) the development of a business plan for the Debtor’s and its Subsidiaries’ home health care and hospice businesses, (3) the development of a business plan for the Debtor’s and its Subsidiaries’ rehabilitation and other ancillary businesses, (4) a full analysis of the operational and sales relationships between the SNF Business and the Debtor’s and its Subsidiaries’ home health care and hospice businesses, and (5) an analysis of the overhead scale and regional structure of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries;

(C) reviewing and commenting on the rolling thirteen (13)-week budget for consolidated cash disbursements of the Debtor, the initial version of which is set forth in Section 5.1(b)(ii)(C) of the Debtor Disclosure Letter (the “13-Week Cash Budget”);

(D) monitoring the Debtor’s segregation of receipts and expenditures allocable to its various Subsidiaries;

(E) monitoring the operating and financial performance of the Debtor’s businesses;

(H) monitoring intercompany transfers and liabilities; and

(I) subject to the approval of the CRO, carrying out such other customary transition-related activities as the QCP Consultants reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable in support of an orderly transition of operations at Closing.

(iii) The QCP Consultants may (A) share information they acquire in their capacities as QCP Consultants with Parent and its Representatives, provided that Parent shall keep such information confidential pursuant to Section 4.8, (B) facilitate attendance by the management of Parent at meetings (not including Debtor Board meetings) with officers and employees of the Debtor, subject to approval of the CRO, and (C) share information they acquire in their capacities as QCP Consultants with any other Persons subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements with Debtor pursuant to Section 4.8 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Debtor).

(iv) The Debtor and Parent shall consult with one another and cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the rights set forth in this Section 5.1(b), which respect to which time is of the essence. For the avoidance of doubt, the operation of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries shall continue to be directed by the CRO and current CEO, at the direction of, and with oversight by, the Debtor Board, unless and until the Closing occurs. Prior to the Closing, neither QCP Consultant shall have the authority to, and neither QCP Consultant will, (A) instruct or direct, or authorize any action of, any employee or other Representative of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries, except as authorized by the CRO; (B) bind the Debtor and/or its Subsidiaries, commit the Debtor and/or its Subsidiaries to execute any agreements or instruments in the name of the Debtor and/or any of its Subsidiaries; (C) represent to any third party that such QCP Consultant has authority to bind the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing; (D) disburse or expend funds of the Debtor or its Subsidiaries; (E) knowingly contradict or countermand to any officer or employee of the Debtor or its Subsidiaries any directive or instruction of the CRO or current CEO or CFO or their direct reports or any written policy of the Debtor or its Subsidiaries; (F) inform any employee of the Debtor or its Subsidiaries (other than the Eligible Employees) of any determination or decision concerning such employee’s continued employment by the Debtor or its Subsidiaries without the prior

approval of the CRO (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (G) initiate discussions or communications with any suppliers, vendors, service providers, patients or regulators of the Debtor or its Subsidiaries without the prior approval of the CRO (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except for such discussions or communications with regulators as is reasonably required to allow Parent to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 4.2; provided that, to the extent any QCP Consultant engages in any substantive discussion or communication with any such supplier, vendor, service provider, patient or regulator, which discussion or communication was initiated by such supplier, vendor, service provider, patient or regulator, such QCP Consultant shall provide to the CRO, within one (1) business day thereof, a reasonable description of such discussion or communication; or (H) broadly distribute written communications to the personnel of the Debtor and its Subsidiaries without the approval of the CRO (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Chief Restructuring Officer. After the date hereof, the CRO shall have those responsibilities set forth in Section 5.1(c) of the Debtor Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that at all times the responsibilities of the CRO shall include responsibility for allocation of costs under the Administrative Support Services Agreement unless otherwise provided in the Centerbridge Facility. After the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, the power and authority of the CRO shall not be changed, and the CRO shall not be removed or replaced, without the consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the CRO voluntary terminates his employment or is otherwise unable to perform his or her responsibilities, a replacement CRO shall be appointed, subject to Parent’s reasonable consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.6 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to jurisdiction in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, each of the parties hereby agrees that during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Case, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.5.

(c) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the

terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, during the Bankruptcy Case, in the Bankruptcy Court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity, and that it waives any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any such remedy.

8.6 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other parties shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, by facsimile or overnight courier:

8.7 Entire Agreement.

EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARENT, PURCHASER, THE LESSORS NOR THE DEBTOR MAKES OR RELIES ON ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDUCEMENTS, AND EACH HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDUCEMENTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATED TO THE DEBTOR, THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY OTHER MATTER, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE BY, OR MADE AVAILABLE BY, ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING. No party shall be bound by, or be liable for, any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention not contained herein.

8.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Recourse. Except as provided in Section 4.7 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) and Section 8.15 (Certain Waivers) only, Parent, Purchaser, the Lessors and the Debtor hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto

any rights or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 8.3 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Debtor, Parent, Purchaser or the Lessors under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

8.9 Obligations of Parent and of the Debtor. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Debtor to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Debtor to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

8.10 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by the Purchaser Entities when due, and the Purchaser Entities will indemnify the Debtor against liability for any such Taxes.

8.11 Definitions. Each of the terms set forth in Annex A is defined in the Section of this Agreement set forth opposite such term.

8.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such

invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

8.13 Interpretation; Construction. The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, Annex or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Annex or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

(a) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(b) The Debtor and Parent have or may have set forth information in the Debtor Disclosure Letter in a section of such Debtor Disclosure Letter that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Debtor Disclosure Letter to this Agreement shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

8.14 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be, directly or indirectly, assignable by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that Parent may designate, by written notice to the Debtor, another wholly-owned direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary to be a party in lieu of Purchaser (provided that such Subsidiary remains wholly-owned by Parent through the Closing Date), in which event all references herein to Purchaser shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided that any such designation shall not materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise materially impede the rights of the stockholders of the Debtor under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void and such designation shall not relieve Parent of any obligation or liability hereunder. The sale or transfer by Parent of any direct or indirect equity interest in Purchaser shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement.

8.15 Certain Waivers. Each Purchaser Entity and the Debtor (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) acknowledge that Latham & Watkins LLP and other legal counsel (“Prior Debtor Counsel”) have, on or prior to the Closing Date, represented (i) the Carlyle Holders in connection with the Transactions and (ii) the Debtor and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates in one or more matters, including relating to this Agreement and the Transactions (each, an “Existing Representation”), and that, in the event of any post-Closing matters (x) relating to this Agreement or any other agreements or Transactions (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) and (y) in which Parent or any of its

Affiliates (including the Debtor and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and any Carlyle Holder or any of its Affiliates (each, a “Designated Person”), on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a “Post-Closing Matter”), the Designated Persons reasonably anticipate that Prior Debtor Counsel will represent them in connection with such matters. Accordingly, each Purchaser Entity and the Debtor (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby (i) waive and shall not assert, and agree after the Closing to cause their Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more Prior Debtor Counsel of one or more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (the “Post-Closing Representations”), and (ii) agree that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, Prior Debtor Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in the Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Debtor and its Subsidiaries), and even though Prior Debtor Counsel may (i) have represented the Debtor or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (ii) be currently representing the Debtor or any of its respective Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser Entity and the Debtor (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consent to the disclosure by Prior Debtor Counsel, in connection with one or more Post-Closing Representations, to the Designated Persons of any information learned by Prior Debtor Counsel in the course of one or more Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege of the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries or Prior Debtor Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to the Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing. The Carlyle Holders and Latham & Watkins LLP are intended third-party beneficiaries, and are relying on the provisions of, of this Section 8.15.

8.16 No Solicitation. This Agreement, the Transactions and the Plan are the product of negotiations among the parties, together with their respective representatives. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of the Plan or any plan of reorganization for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Debtor will not solicit acceptances of the Plan from Parent until Parent has been provided with copies of a Disclosure Statement containing adequate information as required by section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8.17 Settlement Discussions. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to the agreement of the parties, Federal Rule of Evidence 408, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement, all exhibits, schedules and appendices hereto, and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of the parties hereto as of the date first written above.

RESTRUCTURING TERM SHEET

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

March 2, 2018

The following (this “Plan Term Sheet”) describes the material terms of a proposed restructuring of HCR ManorCare, Inc. (the “Debtor”), which will be implemented through a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the “Prepackaged Plan”) under title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtor and Quality Care Properties, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “QCP”) are parties to the Plan Sponsor Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2018 (the “PSA”), which, among other things, set forth the manner in which the Prepackaged Plan will be pursued. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the PSA.

In addition, the Debtor, the Carlyle Holders and QCP are party to a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Carlyle Holders and QCP have agreed to support the Prepackaged Plan described by the Plan Term Sheet.

This Plan Term Sheet outlines many of the principal terms of the Prepackaged Plan, but other material terms will be set forth in definitive documentation, including the PSA and RSA. Nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer susceptible to acceptance by the Debtor or any other party, or a legally binding obligation of any party, other than as set forth in the PSA and RSA. This Plan Term Sheet is a settlement proposal in furtherance of settlement discussions and is entitled to protection from any use or disclosure to any party or person pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 or any other applicable rule of evidence. THIS PLAN TERM SHEET DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION OF VOTES FOR A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FOR PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 1125 AND 1126 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES. SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION WILL BE MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PSA AND THE RSA AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND/OR PROVISIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

Transaction Overview

Solicitation		The Debtor will pursue a prepetition solicitation of votes on the Prepackaged Plan (the “Solicitation”) in accordance with the PSA and RSA.

Prepackaged Case	The Debtor will file a voluntary petition for reorganization under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), in accordance with its obligations under the PSA and RSA. The date on which the Debtor’s chapter 11 case is commenced shall be the “Petition Date.” In addition, on the Petition Date the Debtor will file “first-day” and “second-day” pleadings with the Bankruptcy Court.

Funding of Chapter 11 Case	The cost of administering the Debtor’s chapter 11 case will be funded by cash of the Debtor, ordinary course intercompany transfers through the cash management system of the Debtor and its subsidiaries, and, if necessary, additional intercompany borrowing from HCR ManorCare Services, LLC in accordance with the Centerbridge Facility. The Debtor shall not incur any debtor-in-possession financing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtor may seek entry of an order in the chapter 11 case authorizing the Debtor to use the cash collateral of Centerbridge and providing Centerbridge reasonable and customary protections in connection therewith.

Treatment of Claims and Interests

Administrative Claims	Each holder of an Allowed(1) Administrative Claim(2) will receive, in the sole discretion of the reorganized Debtor, payment in full in cash of the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Claim (a) on the date on which the Prepackaged Plan becomes effective (the “Effective Date” ) or as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable, (b) in the ordinary course of the reorganized Debtor’s business, or (c) as otherwise agreed by the reorganized Debtor and such holder.(3)	In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Prepackaged Plan does not classify Administrative Claims.

(1) “Allowed” means any claim that is determined to be Allowed (as defined in the Prepackaged Plan).

(2) “Administrative Claim” means a claim arising under sections 503(b), 507(b) or to the extent applicable, 1114(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(3) Administrative Claims that become due prior to the Effective Date may be paid by the Debtor in the ordinary course during the chapter 11 case, subject to the PSA.

Priority Tax Claims	Each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim(4) will receive, in the sole discretion of the reorganized Debtor, payment in cash by the Reorganized Debtor in an amount of such holder’s Allowed Priority Tax Claim on the later of the Effective Date or when such Allowed Priority Tax Claim becomes due.	In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Prepackaged Plan does not classify Priority Tax Claims.

Class 1 — Other Priority Claims	Each holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim(5) will receive payment in full in cash as promptly as reasonably practicable on the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date on which such Other Priority Claim becomes an Allowed claim payable under applicable law or any agreement relating thereto.	Unimpaired — Deemed to Accept

Class 2 — Secured Claims	Each holder of an Allowed secured claim will receive, in the sole discretion of the reorganized Debtor, on the Effective Date (or as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable) or in the ordinary course of the reorganized Debtor’s business, (a) payment in full by the reorganized Debtor in cash, including the payment of any interest Allowed and payable under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) delivery of the collateral securing such Allowed secured claim or (c) treatment of such Allowed secured claim in any other matter that renders the claim unimpaired.	Unimpaired — Deemed to Accept

Class 3 — Centerbridge Claim	On the Effective Date, Centerbridge’s(6) secured contingent guaranty claim against the Debtor (the “Centerbridge Claim”) will be reinstated and any liens held by Centerbridge against the assets of the Debtor securing the Centerbridge Claim shall survive the Effective Date, rendering the Centerbridge Claim unimpaired.	Unimpaired — Deemed to Accept

(4) “Priority Tax Claim” means a claim under section 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(5) “Other Priority Claim” means an Allowed claim under section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy other than an Administrative Expense Claim or Priority Tax Claim.

(6) “Centerbridge” means RD Credit, LLC.

Class 4 — QCP Claims	The QCP Claims(7) are deemed Allowed.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT, GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS (this “Release”), in entered into by and between [·] (“Employee”), Quality Care Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“QCP”), and HCR ManorCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HCRMC”, and together with QCP and their respective subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Company and the Company’s affiliates, stockholders, beneficial owners of its stock, its current or former officers, directors, employees, members, attorneys and agents, and their predecessors, successors and assigns, individually and in their official capacities shall be referred to herein as the “Released Parties”.

WHEREAS, Employee has been employed as [title] of HCRMC;

WHEREAS, QCP, HCRMC, and certain other entities have entered into that certain Plan Sponsor Agreement (the “PSA”) dated as of [·], 2018;

WHEREAS, Employee and HCRMC have entered into that certain Employment Agreement, dated [·] (the “Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) as of the Closing (as defined in the PSA) (the “Termination Date”), which termination constitutes a Qualifying Termination under the Employment Agreement entitling Employee to “severance after a Change in Control” pursuant to Section 6 of the Employment Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Section 1.5(a) of the PSA provides that (i) QCP shall fund and pay, or cause to be funded and paid, to the Employee certain Excess Severance Payments (as such term is defined in the PSA) in the amounts set forth in Schedule 1, subject to certain terms and conditions as described therein, including the execution of this Release and (ii) QCP shall pay, or cause to be paid, certain other obligations set forth in Schedule 1.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. General Release. Except as to the Surviving Claims (defined in Section 2 below), Employee knowingly and voluntarily waives, terminates, cancels, releases and discharges forever the Released Parties from any and all suits, actions, causes of action, claims, allegations, rights, obligations, liabilities, demands, entitlements or charges (collectively, “Claims”) that Employee (or Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns) has or may have, whether known, unknown or unforeseen, vested or contingent, by reason of any matter, cause or thing occurring at any time before and including the date of this Release, including all claims arising under or in connection with Employee’s employment or termination of employment with the Company, including, without limitation: Claims under United States federal, state or local law and the national or local law of any foreign country (statutory or decisional), for wrongful, abusive, constructive or unlawful discharge or dismissal, for breach of any contract, or for discrimination based

upon race, color, ethnicity, sex, age, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other unlawful criterion or circumstance, including rights or Claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (“OWBPA”), violations of the Equal Pay Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, including all amendments to any of the aforementioned acts; and violations of any other federal, state, or municipal fair employment statutes or laws, including, without limitation, violations of any other law, rule, regulation, or ordinance pertaining to employment, wages, compensation, hours worked, or any other Claims for compensation or bonuses, whether or not paid under any compensation plan or arrangement; breach of contract; tort and other common law Claims; defamation; libel; slander; impairment of economic opportunity defamation; sexual harassment; retaliation; attorneys’ fees; emotional distress; intentional infliction of emotional distress; assault; battery, pain and suffering; and punitive or exemplary damages (the “Released Matters”). In addition and except as to Surviving Claims, in consideration of the provisions of this Release, Employee further agrees to waive any and all rights under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States, or any other country, that limit a general release to those Claims that are known or suspected to exist in Employee’s favor as of the Effective Date (as defined below).

2. Surviving Claims. On the Payment Date (as defined in the PSA), QCP shall pay or cause to be paid to Employee the amounts required to be paid to Employee pursuant to Section 1.5 of the PSA. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Employee’s Release set forth in Section 1 above shall not:

(i) waive or release any Claims for payment of amounts or benefits payable as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto;

(ii) waive or release any Claim to enforce this Release;

(iii) waive or release any Claim for vested employee benefits under plans covered by ERISA;

(iv) waive or release any Claim that may not lawfully be waived;

(v) waive or release Claims described in Section 4(a) of this Release;

(vi) waive or release any Claim for indemnification, advancement, and D&O insurance, including Claims provided for pursuant to Section 4.7 of the PSA; or

(vii) limit Employee’s rights under applicable law to provide truthful information to any governmental or regulatory entity or to file a charge with or participate in an investigation conducted by any governmental or regulatory entity.

R-2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee agrees to waive Employee’s right to recover monetary damages in connection with any charge, complaint or lawsuit unrelated to any Claim described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence filed by Employee or anyone else on Employee’s behalf (whether involving a governmental entity or not) with respect to Released Matters; provided that Employee is not agreeing to waive, and this Release shall not be read as requiring Employee to waive, any right Employee may have to receive an award for information provided to any governmental or regulatory entity or respond to a subpoena or other legal requirement.

3. Additional Representations. Employee further represents and warrants that Employee has not filed any civil action, suit, arbitration, administrative charge, or legal proceeding against any Released Party nor has Employee assigned, pledged, or hypothecated as of the Effective Date any Claim to any person and no other person has an interest in the Claims that he is releasing.

4. Acknowledgements by Employee. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has read this Release in its entirety and that this Release is a general release of all known and unknown Claims with respect to Released Matters. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that:

a. this Release does not release, waive or discharge any rights or Claims that may arise for actions or omissions after the Effective Date of this Release and Employee acknowledges that he is not releasing, waiving or discharging any ADEA Claims that may arise after the Effective Date of this Release;

b. Employee is entering into this Release and releasing, waiving and discharging rights or Claims only in exchange for consideration which he is not already entitled to receive;

c. Employee’s receipt of the Excess Severance Payments is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.5 of the PSA (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the non-occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 1.5(b) of the PSA that by their terms would terminate QCP’s obligation to pay such Excess Severance Payments pursuant to Section 1.5(b) of the PSA);

d. Employee has been advised, and is being advised by the Release, to consult with an attorney before executing this Release; Employee acknowledges that he has consulted with counsel of his choice concerning the terms and conditions of this Release; and

e. Employee has been advised, and is being advised by this Release, that he has been given at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider the Release, but Employee can execute this Release at any time prior to the expiration of such review period.

R-3

5. Effective Date of Release: Employee is aware that Sections 1,2,3,4,6 and 7 of this Release shall become null and void if he revokes his agreement to this Release within seven (7) days following the date of execution of this Release (or, if later, prior to the Closing Date). Employee may revoke this Release (solely with respect to Sections 1,2,3,4,6 and 7 hereof) at any time during such period by delivering (or causing to be delivered) to the Company written notice of his revocation of this Release no later than the later to occur of (i) 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the seventh (7th) full day following the date of execution of this Release and (ii) the Closing (the “Effective Date”). Employee agrees and acknowledges that a notice of revocation that is not received by such date and time will be invalid and will not revoke this Release with respect to Sections 1 through 4 hereof. The Excess Severance Payments shall be paid to Employee upon the later to occur of the day following the Effective Date and the Termination Date. If Employee fails to execute this Release on or prior to the 21st day following receipt of this Release or exercises his right to revoke Sections 1,2,3,4,6 and 7 of this Release prior to the Effective Date, he shall forfeit his right to receive any portion of the Excess Severance Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 8-17 of this Release shall survive Employee’s revocation of his agreement to this Release in accordance with this Section 5 and the payment of the remaining benefits under Schedule 1 shall not be affected by such revocation.

6. Company/QCP Release. The Company and QCP on behalf of themselves and each of their affiliates and any of its or their successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases any Claims, both known and unknown, in law or in equity, which the Company, QCP or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates ever had, now has or may have against Employee, Employee’s family members and any of their respective past or present successors, heirs, assigns, or agents (collectively, the “Employee Released Party”), including, but not limited to, claims that in any way relate to: (1) the Employee’s employment or service as an officer or director with the Company or any of its affiliates; (2) any claims to attorneys’ fees or other indemnities; and (3) any federal, state, local or foreign laws and regulations. In addition, in consideration of the provisions of this Release, the Company and QCP further agree on behalf of themselves and each of their affiliates to waive any and all rights under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States, or any other country, that limit a general release to those Claims that are known or suspected to exist in its favor as of the date of this Release, except for the Company/QCP Unreleased Claims. The Company and QCP further represent and warrant on behalf of themselves and their affiliates that none of them has filed any civil action, suit, arbitration, administrative charge, or legal proceeding against any Employee Released Party nor have any of them assigned, pledged, or hypothecated as of the Termination Date any Claim to any person and no other person has an interest in the Claims that the Company or QCP is releasing. Notwithstanding anything herein in to the contrary, neither the Company nor QCP waives or releases any claims with respect to (i) any Claim that may not lawfully be waived, (ii) any right or claim that arises after the date this Release is executed, or (iii) any Claim to enforce this Release (the “Company/QCP Unreleased Claims”).

7. Company Acknowledgement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that an authorized representative of the Company has read this Release in its entirety and that

R-4

this Release is a general release of all known and unknown Claims with respect to the released matters. The Company is entering into this Release and releasing, waiving and discharging rights or Claims only in exchange for consideration which it is not already entitled to receive.

8. Officer and Director Resignations. Employee hereby confirms his resignation, effective upon the Termination Date, as a [member of the Board of Directors of the Company] and as an officer of the Company and any other officer or director position Employee held with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures or other related entities, and agrees to execute such documents as the Company reasonably deems to be appropriate to facilitate such resignations.

9. Cooperation.

a. For two years following the Termination Date, Employee agrees to make himself reasonably available to the Company upon reasonable advance notice to respond to requests by the Company for information concerning any litigation, regulatory inquiry or investigation, involving facts or events relating to the Company that may reasonably be within his knowledge. Employee will reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any and all future litigation or regulatory proceedings brought by or against the Company to the extent the Company reasonably deems Employee’s cooperation necessary and such cooperation does not interfere with performance of Employee’s duties to Employee’s then current employer. Employee will be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with fulfilling his obligations under this Section 9(a) and a per hour rate of $[·]. This Section 9(a) is subject to Section 2(vii) above.

b. For two years following the Termination Date, Company agrees to make itself, its appropriate representatives, and Company records and information reasonably available to Employee upon reasonable advance notice to respond to requests by Employee for information concerning any matters involving Employee, including, without limitation, any litigation, governmental or regulatory inquiry or investigation, involving facts or events relating to Employee that may be eligible for indemnification under Section 4.7 of the PSA.

10. Affirmation of Restrictive Covenants; Return of Property. Employee agrees and acknowledges that his obligations under Section [10] of the Employment Agreement (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), will continue to apply after the Termination Date as specified in such provisions. Employee affirms that such Restrictive Covenants are not unduly burdensome to him and are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company.

Employee covenants to return to the Company all property or information, including, without limitation, all reports, files, memos, plans, lists, or other records (whether electronically stored or not) belonging to the Company, including copies, extracts or other documents derived from such property or information. The Company agrees to

R-5

(a) to the extent identified by Employee to QCP prior to Closing, maintain copies of financial and other information disclosed to QCP prior to the Effective Date that Employee reasonably believes may be relevant to the shareholder and derivative actions instituted against QCP and the Company prior to, on or following the Effective Date, and (b) make available to Employee such information to the extent reasonably necessary for Employee to defend himself against actions instituted against QCP or any of its affiliates, the Company or any of its affiliates or Employee.

11. Non-Disparagement. Each party (which, in the case of the Company, shall mean the officers and the members of the board of directors of QCP and HCRMC) agrees to refrain from Disparaging (as defined below) the other party and its affiliates, including, in the case of the Company, any of its services, technologies or practices, or any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives or stockholders (including QCP), either orally or in writing. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude any party from making truthful statements that are reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or legal process, to defend or enforce a party’s rights under this Release, or that are subject to Section 2(vii) above. For purposes of this Release, “Disparaging” means making remarks, comments or statements, whether written or oral, that materially impugn the character, integrity, reputation or abilities of the person being disparaged with the knowledge on the part of the person making such remarks, comments or statements that such remarks, comments or statements would so materially impugn the character, integrity, reputation or abilities of the person being disparaged.

12. Non-Admission. Nothing in this Release is intended to or shall be construed as an admission by the Company or any of the other Released Parties that any of the them violated any law, interfered with any right, breached any obligation or otherwise engaged in any improper or illegal conduct with respect to Employee or otherwise. The Company and the other Released Parties expressly deny any such illegal or wrongful conduct. Nothing in this Release is intended to or shall be construed as an admission by Employee that he violated any law, interfered with any right, breached any obligation or otherwise engaged in any improper or illegal conduct with respect to the Company or otherwise. Employee expressly denies any such illegal or wrongful conduct.
