     WHEREAS, Seller has determined that it is best able to fulfill its charitable mission by delivering services to seniors at retirement living communities (independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities on a single campus) and, therefore, has decided to sell the Facilities, which Facilities have only one or two components of retirement living services.
     WHEREAS, the board of directors and members of Seller have determined that it is in the best interest of Seller to sell substantially all assets, real, personal and mixed, tangible and intangible, owned or leased by Seller and associated with or employed in the operations of the Facilities, and substantially all other related operations owned, leased or managed by Seller which are used in or utilized by the Facilities (other than the Excluded Assets as hereinafter defined and provided) (such transferred assets being referred to as the “Assets” and the Facilities and such other operations conducted at the Facilities being referred to collectively as the “Business”) to Buyer;
     WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer desires to acquire the Assets under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
2.1 Purchase Price.
          2.1.1.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer agrees to assume at Closing the Assumed Liabilities and tender to Seller Eighty-Two Million Dollars ($82,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid at Closing as follows:
          (a) Eight hundred twenty-thousand dollars ($820,000) (the “Deposit”) shall be paid by Buyer as follows: In cash within five (5) days following execution of this Agreement, fifty-percent of which or Four Hundred and Ten Thousand Dollars ($410,000.00) shall be paid in Cash (the “Cash Deposit”) and the other fifty percent or $410,000.00 shall be paid with or secured promissory note from Tandem Health Care, Inc. to Seller (the “Note Deposit”); provided, however, that Seller shall return the Note Deposit to Buyer upon Seller’s receipt from Buyer of evidence that Buyer has obtained binding commitments in the form of debt and equity financing satisfactory to Buyer as set forth in Section 8.17. The Cash Deposit shall be deposited in an interest bearing account, and all interest earned on the Cash Deposit shall belong to Buyer. The Cash Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing. If the Closing does not occur, the Cash Deposit shall be paid as follows: If Buyer does not close the Transaction with

4


 

Seller because of Buyer’s breach of the Agreement, or if Buyer does not obtain financing sufficient to close the transaction, then Seller shall retain the Deposit. If the Seller beaches the Agreement, or if the Closing does not occur for any other reason including, without limitation, regulatory disapprovals, then the Deposit shall be returned in full, along with any accrued interest, to the Buyer.
          (b) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer, the total amount of the Purchase Price less the Cash Deposit, which amount is equal to Eighty-One Million Five Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($81,590,000).
2.2 Allocation of Purchase Price.
          Seller and Buyer shall agree prior to Closing to an allocation (the “Allocation”) of the Purchase Price among the various classes of Assets and the covenant not to compete set forth in Section 10 consistent with the financing appraisal received by Buyer in accordance with Section 8.12 hereof, and, with respect to any allocation made to intangible assets, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 141, Appendix A. The parties agree that any tax returns or other tax information they may file or cause to be filed with any governmental agency shall be prepared and filed consistently with the Allocation.
2.3 Purchase Price Adjustments.
          In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted on the Closing Date for any amounts which are due and payable by either party to the other on the Closing Date or which are to become due and payable after the Closing Date which are attributable to services or goods received or taxes associated with the period prior to Closing, and any amounts which are paid prior to the Closing Date which are attributable to services or goods to be received or taxes associated with the period subsequent to Closing, with respect to (i) the Contracts; (ii) ad valorem taxes, if any, on the Assets; (iii) property taxes on the Assets; and (iv) utilities (the “Prorations”).
2.4 Prorations.
          The parties agree that the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (“DPW”) Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement payment (“Payment”) related to the Assets for the period from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005, shall be allocated on the basis of calendar days prior to and after the Closing as between the Seller and Buyer. The party that receives such payment shall remit the applicable pro rata share of such payment to the other party within seventy-two (72) hours of receipt. To the extent not otherwise prorated pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall prorate as of Closing power and other utility charges, real estate and personal property lease payments, interest and real estate and personal property taxes, plus all other income and expenses which are normally prorated upon the sale of assets of a going concern, provided that once final invoices for such taxes are sent out by the taxing authorities, Buyer and Seller shall adjust such prorations promptly to reflect the final amount of taxes due. As to power and utility charges, “final readings” as of Closing will be ordered from the utilities. Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposits paid to such utilities or such deposits may be applied by

5


 

Seller to its payment pursuant to the preceding sentence. If any of the aforesaid prorations cannot be calculated accurately on Closing (except for taxes which, if necessary, shall be initially prorated at Closing using the prior year’s invoices with final adjustment only after final invoices are delivered), then the same shall be calculated and payment made within 60 days after Closing.
3. CLOSING
3.1 Closing.
          Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the appropriate party of all the conditions precedent to Closing specified in Articles 8 and 9 hereof, the consummation of the transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, One Oxford Centre, 301 Grant Street, 20th Floor, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15219, at 8:30 a.m. on or before March 31, 2005 or at such later or earlier date and/or such other location as the parties hereto may mutually agree in writing or as otherwise provided in this Agreement (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. then prevailing Eastern time on April 1, 2005 (the “Effective Time”).
3.2 Actions of Seller at Closing.
