     (d) Purchaser and Seller agree as follows with respect to Reliance Letters and Environmental Reports:

          (i) No later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser the Reliance Letters for each Facility except for the Remediation Sites.

          (ii) Seller, at Seller’s initial cost, shall order and cause to be delivered to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Phase I environmental site assessments with respect to each Facility for which Seller, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to obtain a Reliance Letter within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Upon invoice from Seller, Purchaser shall reimburse to Seller an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Seller’s cost for such Phase I environmental site assessments.

          (iii) Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost, order within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and to cause to be delivered to Seller within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, Phase I environmental site assessments with regard to the Facilities set forth on Schedule 2.3(d)(iii) (“Remediation Sites”), and Purchaser shall promptly provide a copy of each to Seller.

     (f) Purchaser may deliver one or more notices (each a “Title Objection Notice”) to Seller specifying any lien, claim, encumbrance, restriction, covenant, condition, exception to title or any other matter (“Title Defects”): (i) that is evidenced by the Title Evidence or (ii) that first arises, or is first disclosed to Purchaser, subsequent to the delivery of the applicable item or other matter of Title Evidence to Purchaser, and that renders title or zoning unacceptable to Purchaser. Seller shall be obligated to advise Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Cure Notice”) within five (5)

Business Days after Purchaser delivers any Title Objection Notice, which (if any) of the Title Defects specified in the applicable Title Objection Notice Seller is willing to cure (the “Seller’s Cure Items”).

          (i) If Seller delivers a Seller’s Cure Notice identifying any Seller’s Cure Items, Seller shall be obligated to cure and remove (by endorsement or otherwise, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) the Seller’s Cure Items prior to the Closing. In the event that Seller delivers a Seller’s Cure Notice identifying any Seller’s Cure Items, but Seller then fails to cure and remove (by endorsement or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) such Seller’s Cure Items prior to Closing, Purchaser may as its sole and exclusive remedies, elect (a) to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller prior to the Closing Date, in which event the provisions of Section 12.2(a) governing a permitted termination by Purchaser shall apply; or (b) to proceed to Closing with title and zoning to the Property and/or the Facilities as it then is, with the right to deduct from the Purchase Price a sum equal to the total amount necessary to cure and remove (by endorsement or otherwise, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) the Seller’s Cure Items.

          (ii) In the event that Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s Cure Notice, or in the event that a Seller’s Cure Notice (specifying Seller’s Cure Items) does not include all of the Title Defects specified in each Title Objection Notice, then Purchaser may as its sole and exclusive remedies, elect, by delivering written notice to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, either (a) to terminate this Agreement in which event the provisions of Section 12.2(a) governing a permitted termination by Purchaser shall apply; or (b) to proceed to Closing, accepting title and zoning to the Property and/or the Facilities subject to those Title Defects not included in Seller’s Cure Notice. Failure to timely elect one of the foregoing shall be deemed an election of alternative (b) aforesaid.

Section 2.4 Facility Condition Reports. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, at Purchaser’s cost, a Facility Condition Report with respect to each Facility and, upon receipt, promptly provide a copy of each Facility Condition Report to Seller. In the event any Facility Condition Report identifies any deferred maintenance or other matters requiring repair, remediation or other resolution (any such matter, a “Maintenance Deficiency”), Seller shall, at Purchaser’s written request and at Seller’s option, either (i) remedy prior to Closing all Maintenance Deficiencies requested by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable Facility Condition Report (or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the expiration of the Inspection Period), at Purchaser’s expense (but subject to payment by Seller of the Maintenance Deficiency Amount Excess), or (ii) credit to Purchaser at Closing the Maintenance Deficiency Amount Excess (with the amount necessary to remedy any Maintenance Deficiency being reasonably determined by Purchaser’s third party professional).

          (i) Purchaser shall be responsible for all Transferred Employee Liabilities that arise or accrue after the Closing Date. Transferred Employees shall, for all purposes, be treated by Purchaser as newly hired employees of Purchaser.

          (ii) All liabilities and obligations to each individual that is entitled to continuation coverage under COBRA as a result of (A) a qualifying event or events that occurred prior to the Closing Date, or (B) as a result of the Termination, shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.

     (d) Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall be solely responsible for, and Purchaser shall not have any responsibility whatsoever for, any and all obligations, claims, costs, expenses, fees, damages and liabilities, whether now known or hereafter arising, relating or connected in any way whatsoever to any claims, threats of claims, complaints, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations or inquiries by or relating to any employee or applicant for employment or any resident or other tenant to the extent arising out of or connected with actions, events, statements, omissions or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Closing Date.

     (e) Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and Seller shall not have any responsibility whatsoever for, any and all obligations, claims, costs, expenses, fees, damages and liabilities, whether now known or hereafter arising, relating or connected in any way whatsoever to any claims, threats of claims, complaints, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations or inquiries by or relating to any employee or applicant for employment or any resident or other tenant to the extent arising out of or connected with actions, events, statements or omissions of Purchaser occurring after the Closing Date.

          (ii) Payments received by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing Date from third party payors and private pay residents shall be handled as follows:

               (A) If such payments relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, they shall be first payable toward the applicable Purchased Accounts Receivables then due to Purchaser from said payor or resident, and then to Seller; provided, however, that any payments by Third Party Payor Programs which indicate a specific period shall be applied to the amounts covered as indicated with such payment.

               (B) If such payments relate to the period after the Closing Date, such payments shall be retained by or remitted to Purchaser.

               (C) All amounts owing under this Section 10.1(a) shall be remitted, if necessary, to the proper party within ten (10) days after the end of each month in which the payment was received.

          (iv) For the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date or until Seller receives payment of all rental and other accounts receivable which are not part of the Transferred Personal Property but attributed to the operation of the Facilities prior to the Closing Date, whichever is sooner, Purchaser shall, within a reasonable time period following written request by Seller, provide to Seller an accounting setting forth all amounts received by Purchaser during the preceding month with respect to the rentals and other accounts receivable of Seller that are set forth in the Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable Schedule. Purchaser shall deliver such accounting to the address for notices for Seller set forth below. Upon reasonable prior written notice, and not more frequently than once every ninety (90) days, Seller shall have the right to inspect all cash receipts of Purchaser during weekday business hours in order to confirm Purchaser’s compliance with the obligations imposed on it under this Section 10.1(a).

          (v) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in any way Seller’s rights and remedies to recover delinquent rental and other accounts receivable due and owing Seller under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that Seller hereby agrees not to take any action that would effectively or legally terminate any Occupancy Agreement or cause an actual or constructive eviction of any resident or other tenant of the Facilities.

In general, prorations shown on the Closing Proration Statement, as well as any prorations or re-prorations made after the Closing Date, shall be made so as (i) to reimburse Seller for expense items paid by Seller but relating to periods after the Closing Date and to credit Seller for revenue items received by Purchaser but relating to the period prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) to charge Seller and pay to Purchaser for expense items paid by Purchaser but relating to periods prior to the Closing Date and for revenue items received by Seller but relating to periods after the Closing Date, including without limitation any resident or other tenant rent attributable to the days in the month or billing period in which the Closing Date occurs or any subsequent month or billing period; provided that amounts applicable to the Purchased Accounts Receivable and Retained Accounts Receivable shall be handled in accordance with Section 10.1(a). The intent of this Section 10.2 shall be further implemented by Purchaser delivering to Seller any invoices that reflect amounts due with respect to any period before the Closing Date and by Purchaser assuming responsibility for the payment of any invoices that reflect amounts due with respect to any period after the Closing Date, with any

In such event, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser in the adjustment and settlement of the insurance claim or claims.

          (ii) In the case of an Eminent Domain Event, Seller shall assign to Purchaser any condemnation award with respect to the Eminent Domain Event. In such event, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser with respect to any proceedings relating to the any condemnation award.

          (iii) In either case, the proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption insurance policies attributable to the period following the Closing shall likewise be paid and transferred over (and, if applicable, likewise credited on an interim basis) to Purchaser for the period subsequent to Closing.

Article 12

TERMINATION AND DEFAULT

Section 12.1 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by written notice by the applicable party below to the other party:

     (a) by the mutual consent of Seller and Purchaser in writing and signed by both parties;

     (b) by Purchaser, if the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to proceed to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 have not been satisfied, or waived by Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole discretion, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period;

     (c) by Seller, if the conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations to proceed to Closing set forth in Section 8.2 (other than with respect to the condition set forth in Section 8.2(b)) have not been satisfied, or waived by Seller in Seller’s sole discretion, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period;

     (d) by Seller if the approval of this Agreement by the board of directors of Capital Senior Living Corporation is rescinded, provided that Purchaser’s exercise of a termination right under this Section 12.1 is not otherwise deemed to be an act of rescission;

     (e) by Purchaser, if at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that the results of any inspection, test or examination do not meet Purchaser’s criteria for the acquisition, financing or operation of the Transferred Personal Property and Seller’s interest in the NHP Lease in the manner contemplated by Purchaser, or if Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, otherwise determines that any aspect of the transactions contemplated herein is unsatisfactory to it for any reason or for no reason.

     (f) by Purchaser, if the Damage Non-Termination Threshold has been exceeded or an Eminent Domain Event has occurred;

     (g) by Purchaser in the event that the aggregate cost to remedy all Maintenance Deficiencies, as reasonably determined by Purchaser’s third-party professional, at all of the Facilities collectively exceeds Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars;

     (h) by Purchaser, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.3(f)(i) or Section 2.3(f)(ii);

     (i) by Purchaser, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12.3;

     (j) by Seller, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12.4;

     (k) by either Seller or Purchaser, if the Closing has not taken place by the date that is ninety-five (95) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period; or

     (l) by either Seller or Purchaser, if, once the Conditional Consent to Assignment of Leases is fully executed, such consent is thereafter terminated or otherwise becomes ineffective in accordance with its terms.

Section 12.2 Permitted Termination.

     (a) In the event that Purchaser exercises any right it may have under Section 12.1 to terminate this Agreement, the Purchaser Default Amount shall not be owing from Purchaser to Seller hereunder or otherwise, the Title Company shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement except for the provisions of Section 14.20 governing confidentiality, the provisions of Section 12.5 governing the return of Documents and other items, and those liabilities and obligations that by their express terms were intended to survive a termination of this Agreement.

     (b) In the event that Seller exercises any right it may have under Section 12.1(c), (d) or (j) to terminate this Agreement, Seller’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and be paid the Deposit (the “Purchaser Default Amount”), the Title Company shall immediately release the Deposit together with interest thereon to Seller and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement, except for the provisions of Section 14.20 governing confidentiality, the provisions of Section 12.5 governing the return of Documents and other items, and those liabilities and obligations that by their express terms were intended to survive a termination of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that in the event of such termination under Section 12.1(c), (d) or (j), the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall be paid the Purchaser Default Amount as full and complete liquidated damages, and not as a penalty or forfeiture, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy.

     (c) If Seller provides notice that it is terminating under Section 12.1(a), (k) or (l), the Purchaser Default Amount shall not be owing from Purchaser to Seller hereunder or otherwise, the Title Company shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement except for the provisions of Section 14.20 governing confidentiality, the provisions of Section 12.5 governing the return of Documents and other items, and those liabilities and obligations that by their express terms were intended to survive a termination of this Agreement.

     (d) The designation of a sub-section of Section 12.1 under which either party may provide notice of termination shall control; provided that such terminating party is entitled to terminate this Agreement under such designated sub-section.

Section 12.3 Default by Seller. If, on the Closing Date, (a) this Agreement has not been terminated, (b) Purchaser has performed in all material respects all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement to be performed before the Closing Date; and (c) Purchaser is ready, willing and able to proceed to Closing, but (d) Seller defaults in its obligations to close

hereunder, then thereafter Purchaser shall have the right as its sole and exclusive remedy to either (i) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date, terminate this Agreement, in which case Section 12.2(a) will apply, or (ii) to pursue specific performance of such obligations of Seller under this Agreement so long as any action or proceeding commenced by Purchaser against Seller shall be filed within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.3 shall not limit Purchaser’s rights and remedies in the event of any breach, default or failure of performance by Seller of any covenant, agreement, indemnity, representation or warranty of Seller that by its express terms was intended to survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.4 Default by Purchaser. If, on the Closing Date, (a) this Agreement has not been terminated, (b) Seller has performed in all material respects all obligations of Seller under this Agreement to be performed before the Closing Date; and (c) Seller is ready, willing and able to proceed to Closing, but (d), Purchaser defaults in its obligations to close hereunder, then thereafter, but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date, Seller’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement, in which case Section 12.2(b) will apply. Seller and Purchaser agree that in the event of such a default, the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall be paid the Purchaser Default Amount as full and complete liquidated damages, and not as a penalty or forfeiture, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.4 shall not limit Seller’s rights and remedies in the event of any breach, default or failure of performance by Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, indemnity, representation or warranty of Purchaser that by its express terms was intended to survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.5 Return of Documents; No Solicitation. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason permitted by this Agreement, each party (i) shall return to the other party all documents and copies thereof which shall have been furnished to it by such other party or, with the agreement of the other party, shall destroy all such documents and copies thereof, and (ii) for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party, shall not, directly or indirectly, (x) solicit to hire or hire (or cause or seek to cause to leave the employ of the other party) any executive or any other employee of such party or any of its Affiliates which were Affiliates as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that this does not preclude hiring employees that respond to general advertisements conducted in the ordinary course of business, or (y) hold any discussion regarding the other party or any of its Affiliates which were Affiliates as of the Effective Date with any supplier, customer or any other person with whom such other party or any of its Affiliates which were Affiliates as of the Effective Date has a relationship as of the Effective Date.

Section 12.6 Survival. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall waive or affect Seller’s or Purchaser’s respective rights, indemnity and other obligations hereunder that by their express terms were intended to survive the termination of this Agreement.

Article 13

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 13.1 Seller’s Indemnities. Guarantor and each Seller agree to (on a joint and several basis), and do, indemnify and hold Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates, and their respective members, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys) (collectively, “Losses”) that may be suffered or incurred by or asserted or awarded against Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of, or in connection with, or by reason of:

     (a) any material inaccuracy, breach or default by Seller in any representations and warranties of Seller hereunder;

     (b) any failure by Seller to perform any covenant, agreement or undertaking to be performed by Seller in any material respect;

     (c) any and all actions, suits, litigation, arbitrations, procedures, investigations, or claims arising out of the ownership or operation of the Facilities prior to the Closing Date even though such actions, suits, litigation, arbitrations, procedures, investigations or claims have not been filed or have not come to light until after Closing; or

     (d) any Excluded Liabilities.

Section 13.2 Purchaser’s Indemnities. Purchaser hereby agrees to, and does, indemnify and hold Seller and Hearthstone, and their respective Affiliates, members, partners, directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses which Seller Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:

     (a) any material inaccuracy, breach or default by Purchaser in any representations and warranties of Purchaser hereunder;

     (b) any failure by Purchaser to perform any covenant, agreement or undertaking to be performed by Purchaser in any material respect;

     (c) any and all actions, suits, litigation, arbitrations, procedures, investigations, or claims arising out of the ownership or operation of the Facilities after the Closing Date;

     (d) the failure by Purchaser to pay when due the Promissory Note if such promissory Note was elected by Purchaser as part of the Purchase Price; or

     (e) any failure by Purchaser to pay any liabilities or perform any duties in connection with the Facilities or the NHP Lease attributable to periods after the Closing Date.

Section 13.3 Method of Asserting Claims, Etc. The person claiming indemnification hereunder, whether a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, is sometimes referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is sometimes referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party under Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 hereof, as the case may be, shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

     (a) If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable for Losses to an Indemnified Party hereunder is overtly asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party in writing (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Third Party Claim is so asserted or sought in writing against the Indemnified Party) notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible, which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim (the “Claim Notice”). For this purpose the commencement of any audit or other investigation for taxes concerning the Facilities shall constitute a Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to so provide a Claim Notice as provided above shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any such Third Party Claim except to the extent that a failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party in reasonably sufficient time prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligation to indemnify Indemnified Party only to the extent so prejudiced and not otherwise. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

     (b) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 13.3, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of, and all obligations under, such settlement; otherwise, no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder or if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense with respect to the Third Party Claim), to file during the Notice Period any motion, answer or other pleadings which the Indemnified Party shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not

prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party (it being understood and agreed that if an Indemnified Party takes any such action which is prejudicial and conclusively causes a final adjudication which is adverse to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim, but only to the extent so prejudiced); and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control (except if the Indemnifying Party is not liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of such Third Party Claim, in which case whichever of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party is liable for the largest amount of Losses with respect to the Third Party Claim shall control), any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is participating pursuant to this Section 13.3(b), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

     (c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.3, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly and vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled. The Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.3(c), if the Indemnifying Party has timely notified the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party by final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this Section 13.3(c) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all costs and expenses of such litigation incurred by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.3(c) (other than a dispute as to the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party) and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

     (d) If any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim by the Indemnified Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim and the amount of the estimated amount of such claim (the “Indemnity

Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from delivery of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the amount or estimated amount of such claim as specified by the Indemnified Party shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed such claim, as provided above, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 14.18, or as the parties otherwise at such time agree.

Section 13.4 Payment of Indemnity. Any indemnity claim shall be promptly paid in cash by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the appropriate Indemnified Party.

Section 13.5 Survival. The indemnifications contained in Section 13.1 and Section 13.2 shall survive the Effective Date for a period of two (2) years; provided, that the indemnifications contained in Section 13.1(c) shall survive the Closing Date for the applicable statute of limitations period; and further provided, that if a Claim Notice or Indemnity Notice is given within such two (2) year period, the provisions of this Article 13 shall continue to apply to the claim made in such Claim Notice or Indemnity Notice until such claim is finally resolved or settled.

Section 13.6 Deductible and Cap.

     (a) The aggregate liability of Seller and Guarantor to Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 13.1 shall not exceed (i) with respect to any Losses suffered or incurred in the first year after the Closing Date, Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000), or (ii) with respect to any Losses suffered or incurred in the second year after the Closing Date, One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (reduced by the amount that the aggregate of any Losses suffered or incurred in the first year after the Closing Date exceeds One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000)). Seller and Guarantor shall be liable for the Losses of Purchaser Indemnified Parties only if the aggregate of such exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000) (“Seller’s Deductible”), and then only for such excess; provided, however, that Seller’s Deductible shall not apply to Seller’s obligations with respect to a Third Party Payor Program claim or the defense thereof.

     (b) The aggregate liability of Purchaser to Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 13.2 shall not exceed (i) with respect to any Losses suffered or incurred in the first year after the Closing Date, Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000), or (ii) with respect to any Losses suffered or incurred in the second year after the Closing Date, One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (reduced by the amount that the aggregate of any Losses suffered or incurred in the first year after the Closing Date exceeds One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000)). Purchaser shall be liable for the Losses of Seller Indemnified Parties only if the aggregate of such exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000), and then only for such excess.

Section 13.7 Holdback.

     (a) As security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article 13, Seller shall open an escrow (the “Indemnity Escrow”) and Title Company shall holdback at Closing a portion of the Purchase Price equal to Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($700,000)

(as such amount may be increased or decreased after Closing pursuant to the provisions hereof, the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”), which such Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be held by Title Company in an interest-bearing account. The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be held and disbursed by Title Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the Closing Date, the aggregate of (i) the Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with all interest earned thereon, plus (ii) the Long Horn Excess Reserves, shall equal or exceed the Indemnity Amount.

     (b) Hearthstone Group and/or Long Horn shall cause an Actuarial Determination to occur within three (3) months after the Closing, and thereafter, no less frequently than every six (6) months or more frequently than every three (3) months. Within five (5) Business Days after each Actuarial Determination, Hearthstone Group shall cause Long Horn to (x) deliver to Purchaser (a) copies of all documentation relating to such Actuarial Determination, and (b) a written statement setting forth the then-current Long Horn Assets, Long Horn Required Reserves, and Long Horn Excess Reserves. So long as the Indemnity Amount exceeds the Indemnity Escrow Amount, within twenty (20) Business Days after each Actuarial Determination, the parties shall mutually agree upon an amount, if any, that Long Horn shall propose as a dividend or distribution to the Cayman Island Monetary Authority (“CIMA”). If such proposed dividend or distribution is approved by CIMA, it shall be deposited into the Indemnity Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no dividends or distributions from Long Horn shall be requested that, if deposited into the Indemnity Escrow, would cause the Indemnity Escrow to exceed the Indemnity Amount.

     (c) In the event that the aggregate of (i) the Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with all interest earned thereon, plus (ii) the Long Horn Excess Reserves (as determined by the most recent Actuarial Determination) is less than the Indemnity Amount, within ten (10) Business Days after such Actuarial Determination, the Principals shall deposit an amount equal to the difference between the Indemnity Amount and the sum of (x) the then current Long Horn Excess Reserves plus (y) the Indemnity Escrow Amount, into the Indemnity Escrow; provided, however, that following the first anniversary of the Closing Date when the Indemnity Amount by its terms is reduced, the difference referred to above shall be increased by the amount of any Claims Notices, Indemnity Notices or Payment Notices made during the first year after the Closing Date that are pending or have not been paid or otherwise resolved until such pending claims are paid or otherwise resolved, at which time such increased amount, if deposited as provided herein, shall be released to Seller from the Indemnity Escrow, but this proviso shall in no event change the indemnity limitations set forth in Section 13.6 hereof.

     (d) If a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification as established under this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Party may send a written notice (a “Payment Notice”) to Seller and Title Company. The Payment Notice shall set forth the name of the Purchaser Indemnified Party and the amount of the claim for indemnification. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Payment Notice, Seller shall notify the Purchaser Indemnified Party and Title Company in writing as to whether Seller accepts or rejects such Payment Notice.

          (i) If Seller accepts such Payment Notice or fails to respond to such Payment Notice within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Payment Notice, then Title Company shall pay the amount set forth in the Payment Notice directly to the Purchaser Indemnified Party (at the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s direction and to such account as the Purchaser Indemnified

Party designates in writing) promptly upon Seller’s notification of acceptance or, in the event Seller fails to timely respond to such Payment Notice, on that date which is eleven (11) Business Days after Title Company’s receipt of the Payment Notice.

          (ii) If Seller timely rejects such Payment Notice, then Title Company shall not disburse such funds and may, at its option, continue to hold such funds until both the Purchaser Indemnified Party and Seller agree as to its disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 14.18 below directing its disposition, or Title Company may interplead instructions with respect to such funds in accordance with the laws of Texas.

     (e) On that date which is one (1) year and ten (10) days after the Closing Date, Title Company shall pay to Seller funds equal to the amount by which the then applicable Indemnity Amount for the period from the Closing Date to the first anniversary of the Closing Date exceeds the then applicable Indemnity Amount for the period from the first anniversary of the Closing Date to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that any amounts set forth in Claim Notices, Indemnity Notices or Payment Notices received by Title Company that are pending or have not been paid (or otherwise resolved judicially, by arbitration or by the agreement of Purchaser and Seller) shall continue to be held by Title Company until such Claim Notices, Indemnity Notices or Payment Notices have been resolved.

     (f) On that date which is two (2) years and ten (10) days after the Closing Date, Title Company shall pay the then applicable Indemnity Amount to Seller, provided that any amounts set forth in Claim Notices, Indemnity Notices or Payment Notices received by Title Company that are pending or have not been paid (or otherwise resolved judicially, by arbitration or by the agreement of Purchaser and Seller) shall continue to be held by Title Company until such Claim Notices, Indemnity Notices or Payment Notices have been resolved.

     (g) Title Company shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Indemnity Escrow for any reason other than Title Company’s breach of contract, willful misconduct or negligence. If Title Company is in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to any funds received by Title Company pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow, or if Title Company receives unilateral instructions from Purchaser or Seller, or conflicting instructions from Purchaser or Seller with respect to the disposition of the Indemnity Escrow, Title Company shall not disburse such funds and may, at its option, continue to hold such funds until Purchaser and Seller agree as to its disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 14.18 below directing its disposition, or Title Company may interplead instructions with respect to such funds in accordance with the laws of Texas.

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.7, nothing contained in this Article 13 other than Section 13.6, or the release by Title Company to Purchaser Indemnified Parties of all or any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount pursuant to this Section 13.7, shall be deemed to limit or otherwise diminish Seller’s obligations under Article 13 of this Agreement, except to the extent the release by Title Company to Purchaser Indemnified Parties of all or any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount satisfies or discharges the

foregoing obligations of Seller, and even then, only to the extent of such satisfaction or discharge. The provisions of this Section 13.7 shall survive the Closing.

Article 14

The foregoing shall be subject to Seller having delivered to Purchaser or the Facilities (or not removed from the Facilities) such books and records and supporting materials, as contemplated by this Agreement and shall be subject to applicable law.

Any such notice not so given shall deemed given upon receipt of the same by the party to whom the same is to be given. Any party hereto may designate a different address for itself by notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 14.8.

Section 14.9 Benefit. This Agreement is for the benefit only of the parties hereto and their successors and assignees as permitted in Section 14.1 and Section 14.5 and no other Person or entity shall be entitled to rely hereon, receive any benefit herefrom or enforce against any party hereto any provision hereof.

Section 14.10 Limitation of Liability. Upon the Closing, Purchaser shall neither assume nor undertake to pay, satisfy or discharge any liabilities, obligations or commitments of Seller other than those specifically agreed to between the parties and described in this Agreement.

Section 14.11 Reasonable Efforts. Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable, diligent and good faith efforts, and shall cooperate with and assist each other in their efforts, to obtain such consents and approvals of third parties (including, but not limited to, governmental authorities), to the transaction contemplated hereby, and to otherwise perform as may be necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement; provided that neither party is obligated to incur any third party costs or expenses or make any payment or concession in connection with these efforts.

Section 14.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, and all prior or contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings, representations and statements, and all prior written agreements, understandings, letters of intent and proposals, in each case with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, are hereby superseded and rendered null and void and of no further force and effect and are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. Any waiver of any provisions of this Agreement must be waived by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.

Section 14.13 Business Days. If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations by Seller or Purchaser or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided should be on a day that is not a Business Day, the compliance with such obligations or delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next following Business Day.

Section 14.14 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Seller and Purchaser have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. The headings of various sections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and are not to be utilized in construing the content or meaning of the substantive provisions hereof.

Section 14.15 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

Section 14.16 Partial Invalidity. The provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and severable, and the invalidity or partial invalidity or enforceability of any one provision shall not affect the validity of enforceability of any other provision hereof.

Section 14.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of executing this Agreement, a document signed and transmitted by facsimile machine, telecopier, or by scan and attachment to an email transmission shall be treated as an original document. The signature of any party thereon shall be considered an original signature, and the document transmitted shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as an original signature on an original document.

Section 14.18 Arbitration. In the event of any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind between the parties, concerning this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties jointly shall agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree, in good faith within a reasonable time, on the selection of an arbitrator, either party may request appointment of an arbitrator chosen by the American Arbitration Association who shall be the selected arbitrator. Such arbitrator shall be limited in his decision to a choice between the final position as requested by each party. Said arbitration shall be held in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas or such other place as is mutually agreeable. The arbitration decision shall be final and binding on both parties unless the arbitration is fraudulent or so grossly erroneous as to necessarily imply bad faith. Costs of arbitration are to be share by both parties equally, provided that the arbitrator may choose to award the costs of arbitration against the losing party if the arbitrator determined that the final position urged by the losing party was not reasonable.

Section 14.19 Exclusivity. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has committed and will commit substantial money, time and effort in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Accordingly, Seller and its representatives agree that, until the latter of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not (i) take any action to solicit, initiate, encourage, accept or agree to any Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) engage in negotiations with, or disclose any non-public information relating to the Purchaser, the Property and/or the Facilities, or afford access to the books or records thereof to, any Person that may consider making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal.

Section 14.20 Confidentiality. Purchaser and Seller’s Broker, as agent for Hearthstone, have previously entered into that certain confidentiality letter dated January 31, 2007 (“Confidentiality Letter”). This Section 14.20 shall supersede the Confidentiality Letter, which Purchaser and Hearthstone hereby agree is terminated. Purchaser and Seller agree that prior to the Closing Date, the Documents and other information provided by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement, any information about Purchaser or its Affiliates delivered by Purchaser to Seller and any evaluation material delivered by Seller to Purchaser under the Confidentiality Letter (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) shall remain totally and completely confidential, shall not be used for any competitive purposes or to obtain any commercial advantage with respect to the other party or any of its Affiliates which were Affiliates as of the Effective Date, and shall not be revealed or disclosed to any person or party whatsoever, or to the public through the issuance of a press release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidential Information may be revealed or disclosed: (i) with the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller; (ii) to the parties’ attorneys, accountants and other representatives that are involved in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; (iii) as

may be required or permitted by applicable law, including applicable securities law; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall give the other party advance written notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of such disclosure as is practical so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order, if applicable, waive the disclosing party’s obligation to comply with the provisions of this Section 14.20, and/or request that the disclosing party seek to obtain assurances that such information will be accorded confidential treatment; and (iv) in connection with any proceedings between the parties. Each party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 14.20 by it or any of its Affiliates, representatives or agents. In addition to any other remedies, the parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any breach of this Section 14.20, without the need to prove actual damages or posting of a bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller agree that Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates may, without the consent of Seller, file a report or reports on Form 8-K and any other SEC filings with this Agreement included as an exhibit, and issue press releases, conduct investor calls and answer investor questions concerning the transactions set forth herein; provided, however, that at least one (1) day prior to filing any Form 8-K report or issuing any press release regarding entering into this Agreement or closing under this Agreement and at least one (1) day prior to the use of a script for any investor call in which the entering into this Agreement or closing under this Agreement is included in the script, Purchaser shall provide a copy of such Form 8-K, press release or script (or the applicable parts thereof) to Seller and Seller may give Purchaser comments on such documents, and Purchaser shall use good faith to consider and to accept such comments, but not be obligated to make changes based on, Seller’s comments
