ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSING

2.1 Purchase and Sale of Membership Interests. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each Seller will sell, transfer, assign and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase, assume and accept from each Seller, all of such Seller’s Membership Interests, free and clear of all Liens (except for (a) Liens created by, or at the direction of, Buyer, and (b) Liens consisting of restrictions on transfer generally arising under applicable federal or state securities law), in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 2.2.

2.2 Purchase Price; Estimated Closing Settlement Statement.

(a) The total consideration to be paid for the purchased Membership Interests by Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of, and for distribution to, the Sellers in accordance with their Designated Shares will consist of cash in the aggregate amount of $345,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”) and will be adjusted as follows: plus (A) Cash, minus (B) the Transaction Costs, minus (C) the Debt Amount, minus (D) the Estimated Sellers Working Capital Payment (if any), plus (E) the Estimated Buyer Working Capital Payment (if any) (such net amount, the “Estimated Purchase Price”). The Estimated Purchase Price is subject to further adjustment as set forth in Section 3.2 (the Estimated Purchase Price as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”).

(b) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative will deliver to Buyer a settlement statement (the “Estimated Closing Settlement Statement”) that sets forth Comfort Care’s good faith calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price (and the Designated Share thereof to be received by each Seller from the Sellers’ Representative) and each adjustment to the Base Purchase Price provided for in Article III, together with reasonable supporting detail with respect to each such adjustment. The calculations set forth in the Estimated Closing Settlement Statement shall be prepared based on Comfort Care’s books and records and in accordance with the definitions set forth herein and the Calculation Methodologies. The Estimated Closing Settlement Statement shall be subject to Buyer’s review and comment prior to the Closing which Sellers shall consider in good faith. Following the delivery of the Estimated Closing Settlement Statement, Comfort Care shall make available to Buyer and its representatives such information as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Settlement Statement.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer will pay to the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of, and for distribution to, the Sellers in accordance with their Designated Shares an aggregate amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, minus the Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth in the Flow of Funds Memorandum.

2.3 Payment of Debt Payoff Amount. At the Closing, in addition to the payment of the Estimated Purchase Price, Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, the Debt Payoff Amount, if any, on behalf of Comfort Care in the amounts and to the applicable recipients set forth on the Estimated Closing Settlement Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Flow of Funds Memorandum and the wire transfer instructions set forth in the Payoff Letters delivered to Buyer no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

2.4 Payment of Transaction Costs. At the Closing, in addition to the payment of the Estimated Purchase Price, Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, the Transaction Costs that remain unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing, if any, on behalf of Comfort Care in the amounts and to the applicable service providers or other recipients thereof set forth on the Estimated Closing Settlement Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Flow of Funds Memorandum; provided, however, that to the extent that any unpaid Transaction Costs are compensatory, then Buyer will pay such amounts to the appropriate Company or Subsidiary, as specified by the Sellers’ Representative in writing no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, for further distribution through the appropriate payroll system, subject to applicable payroll and withholding taxes, to the designated service provider or Key Employee recipients.

2.5 Withholding Taxes. Buyer or another withholding agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments due to Sellers under this Agreement such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are withheld by Buyer and appropriately remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts will be treated as paid to Sellers for purposes of this Agreement. If (i) Buyer determines it is required to withhold any payment and (ii) if each Seller provides a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 and the Affidavit described in Section 9.2(c)(viii), then Buyer shall give prompt notice to Sellers and cooperate with Sellers in good faith to reduce or mitigate such withholding (other than with respect to any compensatory payment (including the Key Employee Bonus Amounts), which shall be payable through, as applicable, the applicable Company or Subsidiary’s payroll in accordance with applicable payroll procedures and there shall be no duty to provide notice with respect thereto).

2.6 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase and sale of Membership Interests contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m. Birmingham, Alabama time, no later than two (2) Business Days after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article IX have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date) or at such other time or on such other date as Sellers’ Representative and Buyer may agree upon in writing; provided, however, that under no circumstances may the Closing be delayed in the preceding clause any further than the date which is ten (10) days from the date that the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article IX have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing). The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.” By mutual agreement of the Parties, the Closing may take place by conference call and electronic (i.e., e-mail/PDF) or facsimile deliveries. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and GAAP, for Tax and accounting purposes and for purposes of the calculation of the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, the Parties will treat the Closing as being effective as of 12:01 a.m. Birmingham, Alabama time on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).

2.7 Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing, (i) Sellers shall deliver to Buyer the items set forth in Section 9.2, (ii) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers the items set forth in Section 9.3, and (iii) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers’ Representative and each Person entitled to receive a portion of the Estimated Purchase Price, Debt Payoff Amount or Transaction Costs, such amounts as specified in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 above.

ARTICLE III

PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT; ESCROW AMOUNT

3.1 Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Procedures.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that the Base Purchase Price has been based in part on Comfort Care having a target Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date of $8,400,000.00 (the “Target Net Working Capital”), based on the net working capital analysis attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Net Working Capital Analysis”). The Base Purchase Price will be adjusted in accordance with Section 2.2(a) and the following procedures. Concurrently with the delivery of the Estimated Closing Settlement Statement, Sellers’ Representative will prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, on behalf of Sellers, to Buyer balance sheets (collectively, the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets”) of each of the Companies as of the Closing Date, which Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets will be prepared in accordance with the Net Working Capital Analysis and the Calculation Methodologies. Sellers’ Representative will also prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Buyer a worksheet showing the Net Working Capital derived from the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets, based on the Net Working Capital Analysis (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”).

(b) If the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Estimated Buyer Working Capital Payment”), for purposes of determining the Estimated Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price will be increased at Closing by an amount equal to the Estimated Buyer Working Capital Payment (as set forth in Section 2.2(a)).

(c) If the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Estimated Sellers Working Capital Payment”), for purposes of determining the Estimated Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price will be reduced at Closing by an amount equal to the Estimated Sellers Working Capital Payment (as set forth in Section 2.2(a)).

3.2 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Procedures.

(a) Following the Closing, Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, (i) a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth its determination of each of the components of the Purchase Price and the resulting adjustments to the Estimated Purchase Price (if any), which will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Estimated Closing Settlement Statement and (ii) balance sheets (the “Final Closing Date Balance Sheets”) of each of the Companies and Subsidiaries, as applicable, dated as of the Closing Date, which will be presented in a manner consistent with the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets and the Calculation Methodologies.

(b) No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) the Closing Statement and the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets, which shall be calculated in accordance with the Calculation Methodologies. If Sellers’ Representative disagrees with any portion of the Closing Statement (the disputed items being the “Disputed PP Items”), then Sellers’ Representative will give written notice (a “PP Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within thirty (30) days after the date of the delivery to Sellers’ Representative of the Closing Statement and the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets (the “Dispute Period”), which PP Dispute Notice will: (i) set forth the Disputed PP Items; (ii) specify in reasonable detail Sellers’ Representative’s basis for disagreement with the applicable components of the Purchase Price; and (iii) set forth Sellers’ Representative’s proposed resolution of the Disputed PP Items (including Sellers’ Representative’s determination of the applicable components of the Purchase Price taking into account such proposed resolution of the Disputed PP Items). Buyer will make readily available to Sellers’ Representative all relevant books and records relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative in connection with resolving the Disputed PP Items. If Sellers’ Representative fails to timely deliver a PP Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, the Closing Statement and the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets provided by Buyer shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. If Sellers’ Representative timely delivers a PP Dispute Notice, prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, and Buyer and Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreement between them with respect to the Closing Statement within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such PP Dispute Notice by Sellers’ Representative to Buyer, then the Disputed PP Items may be referred by Sellers’ Representative or Buyer for determination to the Atlanta, Georgia offices of Bennett Thrasher LLP (or, if Bennett Thrasher LLP is unable or unwilling to serve or at such time is not independent of Sellers and Buyer, another nationally recognized accounting firm not affiliated with Sellers or Buyer that is mutually selected by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer). Bennett Thrasher LLP or the firm selected by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer, as applicable, is referred to as the “Independent Accountant”. Each of Sellers’ Representative and Buyer will provide the Independent Accountant and the other with a statement of its position as to the amount for each Disputed PP Item within fifteen (15) days from the date of the referral to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall only make determinations with respect to the Disputed PP Item, and will make a written determination as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant’s decision for each Disputed PP Item must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the PP Dispute Notice, respectively. The Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall resolve each Disputed PP Item only and make adjustments to the Closing Statement, as applicable. If at any time Sellers’ Representative and Buyer resolve their dispute, then notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3.2(b), the Independent Accountant’s involvement promptly will be discontinued and the Closing Statement will be revised, if necessary, to reflect such resolution and thereupon will be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement. The Parties will make readily available to the Independent Accountant all relevant books and records relating to the calculation of the Disputed PP Items and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant in connection with resolving the Disputed PP Items. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Buyer, on one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, based on the proportion (expressed as a percentage) of the dollar value of the Disputed

PP Item determined in favor of Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, by the Independent Accountant relative to the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement and PP Dispute Notice, respectively. For example, if Buyer claims that as a result of the adjustments pursuant to this Section 3.2 the Purchase Price is One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) less than the amount determined by the Sellers’ Representative, and the Sellers’ Representative contests only Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) of the amount claimed by Buyer, and if the Independent Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Buyer Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) of the Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Sellers and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Buyer. The decision of the Independent Accountant will be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement and the Closing Statement and Final Closing Date Balance Sheets will be revised, if necessary, to reflect such decision and thereupon will be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Following the final determination of the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 3.2(b) (the date of such final determination, the “Final Determination Date”), Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, shall make or cause to be made such true-up payments to one another, as set forth in Section 3.3. Contemporaneously with the payment of any such true-up payment, the Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall execute and deliver to each other an amended Closing Statement that sets forth the Purchase Price, as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.2(b) (the “Post-Adjustment Purchase Price”), together with each other adjustment to the Purchase Price provided for in Section 2.2. Any payment made pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

3.3 Escrow Amount. On the Closing Date, a portion of the Estimated Purchase Price equal to the Escrow Amount shall be paid by Buyer to the Escrow Agent via wire transfer of immediately available funds to be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall be held, invested and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, with the funds comprising each of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the Indemnification Escrow Amount, and the PRF Escrow Amount to be kept in three (3) segregated accounts.

(a) Working Capital Escrow Amount. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that, among other things, no later than the fifth Business Day after the Final Determination Date:

(i) if the Post-Adjustment Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall issue joint written instructions directing the Escrow Agent promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the delivery of such joint written instructions) to pay to Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Amount Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Buyer, an amount equal to such difference (the “Shortfall”) and if the Working Capital Escrow Amount is less than the Shortfall, the balance of the Shortfall shall be paid by the Sellers’ Representative from the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund (and if such Seller’s Representative Expense Fund is insufficient to pay the balance of the Shortfall, such unpaid portion of the Shortfall shall be paid by the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share);provided, that if the Shortfall is less than the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall also simultaneously issue joint written instructions directing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Sellers’ Representative (for payment to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share) the difference between the Working Capital Escrow Amount, minus the Shortfall; or

(ii) if the Post-Adjustment Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then (A) Buyer shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative (for payment to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in writing by the Sellers’ Representative, an amount equal to such difference between the Post-Adjustment Purchase Price, minus the Estimated Purchase Price and (B) the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall issue joint written instructions directing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Sellers’ Representative (for payment to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share) the full amount of the Working Capital Escrow Amount.

(b) Indemnification Escrow Amount. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that, among other things, promptly following the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date (and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter), the Escrow Agent shall distribute an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, of $8,625,000.00, minus the sum of (y) all amounts distributed to Buyer in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(ii)(A) of the Escrow Agreement and (z) the amount of any Outstanding Indemnity Claim, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, to the Sellers’ Representative (for payment to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share) and (ii) promptly following the three (3)-year anniversary of the Closing Date (and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter), any balance remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund to the extent not subject to an Outstanding Indemnity Claim shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, to the Sellers’ Representative (for payment to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share). Any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund subject to an Outstanding Indemnity Claim shall not be so distributed to Sellers’ Representative, except in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the three (3)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, there exists any Alabama Investigation Development, the entire remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent and shall not be disbursed to the Sellers until there has occurred an Alabama Investigation Resolution.

(c) PRF Escrow Amount. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that, among other things, the PRF Escrow Fund shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 7.10.

ARTICLE IV

7.6 Approvals and Consents.

(a) Comfort Care and Buyer have, prior to the execution by all Parties of this Agreement, caused to be completed and filed with the FTC and the DOJ those notifications and reports required to be filed under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall make all non-HSR Act filings required by Legal Requirements to be made by them in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the documents related thereto. In addition, Comfort Care and Buyer shall promptly proceed to prepare and file with the appropriate Governmental Entities such additional requests, reports or notifications as may be required or, in the reasonable opinion of Buyer or Comfort Care, advisable, in connection with this Agreement. With respect to each of the above HSR Act filings, the Parties shall diligently and expeditiously prosecute, and shall cooperate fully with each other in the prosecution of, such matters including subject to applicable Legal Requirements, by permitting counsel for the other Party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with any such filing or any proposed written communication with any Governmental Authority and by providing counsel for the other Party with copies of all filings and submissions made by such Party and all correspondence between such Party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Authority and any other information supplied by such Party and such Party’s Subsidiaries to a Governmental Authority or received from such a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) materials may be redacted before being provided to the other Party (i) to remove (x) references concerning the valuation of Comfort Care, and (y) individual customer pricing information, (ii) as necessary to

comply with contractual arrangements, and (iii) as necessary to avoid disclosure of other competitively sensitive information or to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns, and (b) copies of documents filed by a Party hereto pursuant to Item 4(c) of the Notification and Report Form filed with the FTC and the DOJ shall not be required to be provided to any other Party hereto. Each of Buyer and Comfort Care shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any such filing or submission.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Comfort Care nor Buyer shall be required to take any action with respect to satisfying any Antitrust Laws which would bind either Comfort Care or Buyer irrespective of whether the Closing occurs. From the date hereof through the date of termination of the required waiting period under the HSR Act, neither Buyer nor Comfort Care shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action that could reasonably be expected to hinder or delay the obtaining of clearance or the expiration of the required waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law.

(b) Health Care Regulatory Filings shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer to secure, but in cooperation and consultation with Comfort Care (including by and through their counsel) in accordance with this Agreement. Buyer, on the one hand, and Comfort Care, on the other hand, shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Health Care Regulatory Filings. All filing fees imposed by a Governmental Authority in connection with the Health Care Regulatory Filings shall be borne by Buyer.

7.7 Closing Conditions; Further Assurances.

(a) Each Party will, at the request of any other Party, take such further actions as are requested and execute any additional documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind that may be reasonably necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article IX and to further effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to Section 7.6 which shall govern the subject matter thereof and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Party hereto shall take any action after the date of this Agreement to materially delay the obtaining

of, or result in not obtaining, any consent from any Governmental Authority necessary to be obtained prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Sellers, Comfort Care, and their Affiliates have no responsibility for any financing that Buyer may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and no responsibility for the content of any rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents prepared by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or Buyer’s financing sources, in connection with Buyer’s financing activities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) At and after the Closing, the officers of Comfort Care will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Comfort Care or Buyer, any deeds, bills of sale, assignment or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of Comfort Care or Buyer, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in Comfort Care or Buyer any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the Comfort Care Assets acquired or to be acquired by Comfort Care or Buyer as a result of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Sellers shall cause Comfort Care and Buyer to have continued access to (a) all pre-Closing portfolio occurrence polices and (b) any applicable tail or run-off endorsements with respect to claims-made policies to report pre-Closing claims.

7.8 Books and Records. Sellers acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, Comfort Care will be entitled to the originals of all Books and Records. Sellers will promptly deliver to Comfort Care such originals of all Books and Records. Comfort Care will cooperate in all reasonable respects with Sellers and will make available to Sellers, during normal business hours, the Books and Records that relate to the period preceding the Closing Date and that are necessary or useful in connection with any Claim, investigation, allegation, inquiry or Tax Proceeding with respect the assets, operations or activities of Comfort Care or any Taxes imposed on or with respect to the foregoing preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that prior to receiving access to any of the Books and Records, Sellers will enter into a customary confidentiality agreement binding on it, him or her and any other Person to whom the information may be disclosed; and provided, further, that Comfort Care will be entitled to destroy Books and Records in accordance with a customary document retention policy or industry standards; but provided, further, that in no event shall Comfort Care destroy any Books and Records pertaining to the period preceding the Closing Date for at least six (6) years following the Closing Date without first offering to deliver such books and records to any Seller, at Comfort Care’s expense, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such proposed destruction or disposition. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall make available to Sellers upon written request, (i) personnel of the Companies and Subsidiaries to assist Sellers in locating and obtaining records and files maintained by Comfort Care and (ii) any of the personnel of the Companies and Subsidiaries whose assistance or participation is reasonably required by Sellers in anticipation of, or preparation for, any existing or future third-party actions, Tax or other matters in which either Comfort Care, Sellers or any of their past, present or future Affiliates is involved and which relate to Comfort Care, except to the extent such information is Protected Health Information, the confidentiality of which is protected unless access is permitted pursuant to applicable state and federal privacy laws.

7.9 Publicity. Except as required by a court of competent jurisdiction or applicable Legal Requirements, including applicable securities laws and regulations and rules of applicable stock exchanges, and except for disclosures to its Representatives to the extent necessary to obtain their services or for disclosures (a) required to be made in the financial statements of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (b) in publicly filed documents necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and accompanying press releases that may include the purchase price) or (c) necessary in connection with any consents or Approvals or any financing to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, none of the Parties nor any of their Affiliates will, without the prior consent of the other Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld), make any statement or any public announcement or press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.10 PRF Payments. To the extent required by the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) prior to Closing, Comfort Care shall timely submit any reports required with respect to any PRF Payments received by any Company or Subsidiary, and after the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative shall at its sole cost, prepare and timely submit any reports required by HHS. The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer each covenant and agree following the Closing (i) to cooperate as reasonably requested by the other Party with respect to any reporting required by HHS or confirming eligibility to retain or use the PRF Payments as required by HHS; (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action that may negatively impact the Companies’ or Subsidiaries’ entitlement and eligibility to retain or use the PRF Payments in accordance with the permitted purposes; and (iii) to cooperate in ensuring reasonable access is granted to relevant books and records and to individuals involved in the application for and administration of such PRF Payments; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.10 shall prevent any Company, Subsidiary or Buyer from taking any action required by applicable Legal Requirements. In no event shall Buyer be liable to any Seller with respect to all or any portion of the PRF Payments that are disallowed with respect to the utilization of such funds prior to the Closing Date (the “Disallowed PRF Amount”). Upon the earlier of (x) confirmation or other guidance issued by HHS as to whether any portion of the PRF Payments is disallowed or (y) the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall, within five (5) Business Days after such date (the “PRF Escrow Release Date”), issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent authorizing the release and delivery to the Sellers’ Representative (for payment to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share) of the PRF Escrow Amount less the Disallowed PRF Amount and less any portion of the PRF Payments that are then subject to an audit by HHS as to which Buyer or Comfort Care has received written notice that such PRF Payment is under audit and which amount shall remain in the PRF Escrow Fund until such time as the audit is complete at which time it will be released in the manner described herein, reduced by any Taxes imposed on the Buyer, Comfort Care or any Affiliate(s) of either (determined on a “with and without” basis) as a result of the PRF Payments (including, without limitations, non-deductibility of payments under IRS Notice 2020-32), and the Sellers’ Representative shall pay such amount to the Sellers based on each Seller’s Designated Share. Sellers shall be responsible for any expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the PRF Payments including the cost of the single audit to be completed post-Closing. Within five (5) days after the completion by HHS of any audit(s) of the PRF Payments, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent authorizing the release and delivery to Comfort Care of the Disallowed PRF Amount.

7.11 Employee Matters. Unless otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, or as otherwise mutually agreed to between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, the provisions of this Section 7.11 shall apply.

(a) After the Closing, each Company and Subsidiary are and shall remain liable for, and each Company and Subsidiary shall be responsible for and shall promptly discharge (or cause to be discharged), all liabilities, duties, and claims (to or by any of Company’s or Subsidiary’s current and former service providers, any beneficiary under any Employee Benefit Plan, any Governmental Authority or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the employment relationship between any Company or Subsidiary and their current and former service providers, including, without limitation, liabilities, duties, and claims (i) for deferred compensation, incentive compensation, retirement benefits, health and life benefits, severance arrangements and benefits, disability benefits, and other fringe benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan, fund, program, arrangement, policy, or practice; and (ii) for unemployment and workers’ compensation or similar benefits, in each case, other than liabilities, duties and claims arising out of or relating to the duties and/or responsibilities of the sponsor of any Employee Benefit Plan which is not a Company nor any Subsidiary.

(b) Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, take any action that would cause any termination of employment of any employee of any Company or Subsidiary that occurs on the Transition Date or within ninety (90) days prior to the Transition Date to constitute a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or group termination under WARN or any similar Legal Requirement, or that would create any liability to Buyer for any employment terminations under any Legal Requirement. After the Closing, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Sellers and their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, consultants, agents, Representatives, members and stockholders for, and to hold each of them harmless from and against, all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, costs, and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in investigating and preparing for any litigation or proceeding) that any of them may suffer by reason of, or in connection with, any claim, proceeding, or suit brought against any of them under WARN, which relate to actions taken by Buyer or any of its respective subsidiaries or Affiliates at any time after the Closing (including any discharge of any of the employees of any Company or Subsidiary with regard to any site of employment or one or more facilities or operating units within any site of employment of any Company or any Subsidiary).

(c) Effective as of the date (such date, the “Transition Date”) on which each Company and Subsidiary is no longer a participating employer in the applicable Employee Benefit Plan that is a health and welfare plan (each, a “Seller Welfare Plan”) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) each employee of any Company or Subsidiary as of immediately prior to the Transition Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”) to be immediately eligible to participate as of the Transition Date, without any waiting time, in a comparable Seller Welfare Plan sponsored by the Buyer or an affiliate in which the employee is within the eligible class of employees under such plan (each, a “Buyer Welfare Plan”); (ii) for purposes of each Buyer Welfare Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any such Continuing Employee, (x) all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements, and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such Buyer Welfare Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and (y) any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under the comparable Seller Welfare Plan during the relevant plan year up to the Transition Date to be given full credit under such corresponding Buyer Welfare Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Buyer Welfare Plan.

(d) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall give or cause to be given to each Continuing Employee credit for all service accrued on or prior to the Closing Date with any Company and any Subsidiary for purposes of eligibility to participate under any 401(k) plan maintained by Buyer under which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate on or after the Closing; provided, however, that such credit need not be provided to the extent that such credit would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(e) Nothing contained herein shall (i) be construed as requiring the Buyer, any Company or any Subsidiaries to continue any specific plans or to continue the employment of any employee or otherwise modify the “at-will” employment relationship with any employee or any other employee of any Company or any Subsidiary, or (ii) create any third party rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever in any employee of any Company or any Subsidiary (including without limitation any employees, or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof) or any other Person that is not a party to this Agreement.

7.12 Indemnification of Officers, Managers, Employees and Agents.

(a) From and after the Closing and through the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing, Comfort Care shall indemnify (which shall include the mandatory advancement of expenses as provided in this 7.12), defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time or who becomes prior to the Closing, a director or officer of Comfort Care (the “Indemnified Company Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), fines, liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement, arising out of or relating to acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such a director or officer of Comfort Care, which acts or omissions occurred at or prior to the Closing, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws and required, in the case of Comfort Care, by the terms of Comfort Care’s Organizational Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement. In determining whether an Indemnified Company Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.12(a), if requested by such Indemnified Company Party, such determination shall be made by special, independent counsel selected by Buyer and approved by the Indemnified Company Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and who has not otherwise performed services for Buyer or its Affiliates within the last three (3) years (other than in connection with such matter). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.12, the sole and exclusive recourse of any Indemnified Company Party with respect to the indemnification and advancement rights or any other rights provided by this Section 7.12 shall be the proceeds of the D&O Tail Policy.

(b) Comfort Care shall not amend its Organizational Documents through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing in any manner that would materially adversely affect the indemnification or other related rights thereunder of individuals who at and at any time prior to the Closing were Indemnified Company Parties.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing (but subject to the last sentence of Section 7.12(a)), in the event of any claim for indemnification, (i) Comfort Care shall periodically advance reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses) with respect to the foregoing and pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by each Indemnified Company Party, promptly after statements therefor are received, provided that the Indemnified Company Party to whom fees and expenses are advanced or for which fees and expenses of counsel are paid provides an undertaking to repay such advances and payments if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Company Party is not entitled to indemnification, and (ii) subject to the terms of this Section 7.12, Comfort Care shall cooperate in the defense of any matter.

(d) The Indemnified Company Party shall have the right to retain counsel of such Indemnified Company Party’s own choice to represent such Person in such matter; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, fully cooperate with Comfort Care and any counsel designated by Comfort Care. The Indemnified Company Person shall also cooperate with Comfort Care and any counsel designated by Comfort Care. Buyer and Comfort Care shall be liable only for any settlement of any claim against an Indemnified Company Party made with Buyer or Comfort Care’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer and Comfort Care shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Company Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to such Indemnified Company Party of an unconditional release from all liability and obligations (civil or criminal or monetary or otherwise) in respect of such claim.

(e) Prior to the Closing Date, Comfort Care shall purchase (with such expense to be Sellers’ Transaction Cost) an extended reporting period endorsement under Comfort Care’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for Comfort Care’s directors and officers in a form acceptable to Comfort Care that shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six (6) years following the Closing Date of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by Comfort Care (the “D&O Tail Policy”). During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Buyer shall not (and shall cause Comfort Care not to) take any action following the Closing to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived; provided, that neither Buyer, Comfort Care nor any Affiliate thereof shall be obligated to pay any premiums or other amounts in respect of such D&O Tail Policy. In the event Buyer or Comfort Care or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or Comfort Care, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.12. The obligations under this Section 7.12 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnified party under any D&O Tail Policy (it being expressly agreed that the indemnified parties to whom this Section 7.12 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.12 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

(f) If Buyer or Comfort Care or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, to the extent not assumed by operation of law, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or Comfort Care, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.12.

(g) All rights to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses contained in any agreement with any Indemnified Company Party as in effect on the date hereof with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Closing (including the transactions contemplated hereby) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue in full force and effect as set forth herein. Buyer and Comfort Care shall indemnify any Indemnified Company Party against all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), such amount to be payable in advance upon request as provided in this Section 7.12, relating to the enforcement of such Indemnified Company Party’s rights under this Section 7.12 or under any charter, bylaw, other governing document or other agreement, provided that such Indemnified Company Party provides an undertaking to repay any advances of costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Company Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or thereunder.

(h) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect Comfort Care or any of its officers, managers or employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.12 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(i) The provisions of this Section 7.12 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Company Parties, their heirs and their Representatives and shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of Buyer and Comfort Care and may not be terminated or amended in any manner adverse to such Persons without their prior written consent.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 7.12) or under the Alabama Business and Nonprofit Entity Code of the State of Alabama (or any similar statute of the state of incorporation or formation of the applicable Subsidiary), in no event shall Buyer or Comfort Care or any of their respective successors or assigns be obligated to indemnify nor advance defense costs to, or on behalf of, any Indemnified Company Party, nor shall any Indemnified Company Party have any right to (nor shall any Indemnified Company Party demand or otherwise seek to secure from Buyer or Comfort Care or any of their respective successors or assigns) indemnification, exculpation or advancement for acts or omissions of such Person as an officer or director of Comfort Care at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed at or after Closing Date with respect to, or in connection with, any claim for indemnification asserted by Buyer or Sellers under Article X of this Agreement (or claims by Buyer or the Sellers for Fraud).

7.13 Investigation and Agreement by Buyer; No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) Buyer agrees and acknowledges that it is sophisticated and was advised by experienced counsel and, to the extent it deemed necessary, other advisors in connection with this Agreement. Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that each of them (i) has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Comfort Care Business and the operation thereof, the Membership Interests, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other assets, rights or obligations to be transferred hereunder or pursuant hereto, (ii) has been furnished with or given full access to the books, records, key personnel, facilities and such other information about Comfort Care, the Comfort Care Business, the operation thereof, the Membership Interests, the Comfort Care Assets, and any other assets, rights or obligations to be transferred hereunder or pursuant hereto as it requested and considered material in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and (iii) has had an opportunity to ask all questions of and receive answers from Sellers and Comfort Care with respect to any matter Buyer considers material in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. In connection with Buyer’s investigation of Comfort Care, the Comfort Care Business, the operation thereof, the Membership Interests, the Comfort Care Assets, and any other assets, rights or obligations to be transferred hereunder or pursuant hereto, Buyer and their respective representatives have received from Comfort Care or its Representatives certain projections and other forecasts for Comfort Care and certain estimates, plans, budget information and other forward-looking information. Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that (A) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forecasts, estimates, plans, budgets and forward-looking information, (B) Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, (C) Buyer is taking full responsibility for making their own evaluations of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and other forward-looking information so furnished to Buyer or its representatives, (D) Buyer has not relied upon the estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and other forward-looking information so furnished Buyer or its representatives or any component thereof, and (E) Buyer will

(b) Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has not relied on the omission or absence of any information in its evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) it has relied solely and exclusively on the representations and warranties of Sellers and the Companies expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV and Article V, (iii) such representations and warranties by Sellers and the Companies constitute the sole and exclusive representations of Sellers and the Companies to Buyer or to any of its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (iv) all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature, whether express or implied, oral or written (including but not limited to information, statements, or representations of any kind relating to the historical or future financial performance, financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities, cash flows, expenses, or revenues of Comfort Care; any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of Comfort Care; the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to Buyer or its representatives; or any other information, statements or documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Buyer or its representatives, including the information in the electronic data room of Comfort Care, the confidential information memorandum, any management presentations or other due diligence information, with respect to Comfort Care, except to the extent and as expressly and specifically covered by a representation and warranty made by Sellers and the Companies set forth in Article IV or Article V), have not been relied upon by Buyer and are expressly and specifically disclaimed and shall not form the basis of any claim by Buyer for breach of representation or warranty, and none of Sellers, Comfort Care or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer or any other Person with respect thereto.

(c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that their obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price, are not subject to any financing condition and are not contingent upon the results of efforts, if any, of Buyer or its Affiliates to obtain financing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the recourse of any Party in the event of Fraud with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

7.14 Non-Competition.

(a) In (1) consideration for Buyer’s acquisition of the Membership Interests and the sale of the goodwill associated therewith, (2) order to protect the goodwill obtained by Buyer and transferred by each Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (3) order to satisfy certain conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and as an express incentive for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each Seller (each, a “Restricted Party”) expressly covenant and agree on a several basis that, during the Prohibited Period, such Restricted Party:

(ii) will refrain from, directly or indirectly carrying on or engaging in the Comfort Care Business in the geographical areas set forth on Schedule 7.14 (the “Restricted Area”);

(iii) shall not solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee of any Company or Subsidiary to leave such Company or Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not prohibit (A) the use of any general employment solicitation efforts such as newspapers, trade publications, periodicals, radio, or internet database or any hiring that occurs as a result of such efforts or (B) the hiring of any employee of any Company or Subsidiary who was terminated by any Company or Subsidiary after the Closing Date;

(b) Each Restricted Party agrees on a several basis that from and after the date hereof, such Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of such Restricted Party’s Affiliates not to, make, publish, or communicate any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding Buyer, Comfort Care or their respective Affiliates (or their respective businesses, services, payors or suppliers), or their respective current or former directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees or direct or indirect equityholders; provided, however, that nothing herein is intended to limit a Restricted Party’s ability to provide complete and truthful testimony pursuant to subpoena or other legal process, to make a claim with any government agency, or to participate in an investigation conducted by any such agency.

(c) Each Restricted Party agrees and covenants on a several basis that because the following conduct would effectively constitute carrying on the Comfort Care Business, he or she will not, and will cause his or her Affiliates to not, in the Restricted Area during the Prohibited Period, directly or indirectly, (1) own, manage, operate, join, become an employee of, control, consult, advise or participate in or be connected in any manner with any business or Person (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates) which engages in the Comfort Care Business or (2) loan money to, invest in or sell or lease equipment to any business or Person (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates) which engages in the Comfort Care Business. As used in this Agreement, “Prohibited Period” means five (5) years from and after the Closing Date.

(i) Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 7.14(a)(i), each Restricted Party individually with his or her Affiliates may own an aggregate of not more than 5% of the outstanding stock of any class of any entity engaged in the Comfort Care Business, if such stock is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market by a member of a national securities exchange, without violating the provisions of Section 7.14(a)(i); provided that no Restricted Party nor their respective Affiliates have the power, directly or indirectly, to control or direct the management or affairs of any such entity.

(ii) To the extent that any part of this Section 7.14(a) may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it is intended that such part will be enforceable to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction will determine that such part, if more limited in scope, would have been enforceable, such part will be deemed to have been so written and the remaining parts will be effective as written and enforceable in all events and the Parties agree to request that such court enforce this Section 7.14(a) as if so written.

(d) The Parties agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in Section 7.14(a) are reasonable in all respects and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill that Sellers are transferring pursuant to this Agreement and the legitimate business interests of Buyer and that these limitations are intended to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) Each Restricted Party hereby represents to Buyer that they have read and understand, and agree to be bound by, the terms of this Section 7.14. Each Restricted Party acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants set forth in this Section 7.14 are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (i) the nature and geographic scope of the operations of Comfort Care and the Comfort Care Business, (ii) Sellers’ level of control over, contact with, knowledge of confidential information about, and association with the goodwill of Comfort Care and the Comfort Care Business in all jurisdictions in which it is conducted, (iii) the fact that the Comfort Care Business is conducted by Comfort Care throughout the Restricted Area, and (iv) the consideration that Sellers are receiving in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the amount of goodwill for which Buyer is paying. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the Parties waive any provision of applicable Legal Requirements that would render any provision of this Section 7.14 invalid or unenforceable.

(f) The Prohibited Period applicable to the restrictions in this Section 7.14 shall be tolled and extended with respect to any Restricted Party in breach of a given restriction for any period(s) of time during which a court of competent jurisdiction finds that such Restricted Party was in breach of such restriction; provided, that (i) the outcome of such litigation or arbitration is to enforce, in whole or in part, such covenants, (ii) any such tolling or extension shall not toll or extend any other Prohibited Period with respect to a separate restriction, and (iii) any such tolling or extension shall not toll or extend any Prohibited Period with respect to any other Restricted Party.

Each Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, at or prior to Closing, shall pay out of Cash (i) to the Key Employees set forth on Schedule 7.15, the amount set forth opposite each such Key Employee’s name, reflecting such Key Employee’s designated share of the Key Employee Bonus Amount (including any severance payments due to such Key Employees) and the aggregate amount of the employer portion of any payroll or other employment Taxes related thereto(less any required withholdings for Taxes and which shall be paid through a special payroll), and (ii) any and all payroll Taxes deferred pursuant to the CARES Act as set forth on Schedule 5.27(f).

7.16 Release. As of the Closing, (a) each Seller hereby releases and forever discharges Comfort Care (each, a “Company Released Person”), from all debts, demands, litigation, covenants, torts, damages and all defenses, offsets, judgments, demands and liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have been or could have been asserted against any Company Released Person, which any Seller Party has or has ever had, that arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing in respect of matters relating to any Company Released Person, including indemnification rights, contribution rights, subrogation rights, rights to advancement of expenses or similar privileges as an employee, officer, manager or member, director or shareholder of, or on behalf of, any Company or Subsidiary, pursuant to any Company Released Person’s Organizational Documents, any contract providing such indemnification or any Legal Requirements (whether relating to any Damage required to be paid by an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or otherwise), (b) each Company Released Person hereby releases and forever discharges each Seller and their respective Affiliates (each, a “Seller Released Person”), from all debts, demands, litigation, covenants, torts, damages and all defenses, offsets, judgments, demands and liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, known

or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have been or could have been asserted against any Seller Released Person, which such Company Released Person has or has ever had, that arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing in respect of matters any Company or Subsidiary, including indemnification rights, contribution rights, subrogation rights, rights to advancement of expenses or similar privileges as an employee, officer, manager or member, director or shareholder of, or on behalf of, any Company or Subsidiary, pursuant to any Company Released Person’s Organizational Documents, any contract providing such indemnification or any Legal Requirements (whether relating to any Damage required to be paid by an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or otherwise) and (c) Buyer shall ensure that Comfort Care shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith from any Seller or of their respective Affiliates and their respective equityholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, successors or assigns; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.16 shall, in any manner, release or discharge any Company Released Person or Seller Released Person in the case of Fraud or with respect to any liabilities, duties or obligations of such Company Released Person or Seller Released Person (a) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any obligations of Buyer, Sellers or Comfort Care arising under or related to Section 7.12 or Article X of this Agreement), (b) involving any claim that may not be waived as a matter of law or applicable Legal Requirements, (c) any rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties under Article X, or (d) with respect to any Seller that is an employee of any Company or Subsidiary, any claim for unpaid salary, wages, accrued bonuses or expense reimbursement or benefits under any Employee Benefits Plan.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

8.1 Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of Comfort Care for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (other than Straddle Periods). Such Tax Returns (“Seller-Allocated Tax Returns”) shall reflect any Taxes imposed on Comfort Care pursuant to any provision of state or local Tax Law. The Sellers shall pay all Taxes shown as due on such Seller-Allocated Tax Returns. With respect to any Seller-Allocated Tax Returns, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide a draft of each such Tax Return to the Buyer for review and comment reasonably in advance of the due date for such Tax Return (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent required by the Buyer, supporting documentation), and Buyer shall cooperate in the filing of the Seller-Allocated Tax Returns by the due date thereof. The Sellers’ Representative shall use reasonable efforts to address in good faith all comments provided by the Buyer with respect to such Tax Returns (provided that the Buyer must provide any such comments reasonably in advance of the due date for the applicable Tax Return taking into account the date any such Tax Return was first delivered to the Buyer) and in no event shall file any such Tax Return without the consent of the Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Buyer shall be responsible for the timely preparation and filing of all other Tax Returns for Comfort Care. The Sellers shall pay all Taxes shown as due on such other Tax Returns, to the extent allocable to the portions of Straddle Periods up to and including the Closing Date under Section 8.6. With respect to any Tax Returns for any Straddle Periods, Buyer shall provide a draft of each such Tax Return that is a U.S. state income or other material Tax Return to the Sellers’ Representative for review and comment reasonably in advance of the due date for such Tax Return (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent required by Sellers, supporting documentation). Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to address in good faith all comments provided by the Sellers’ Representative with respect to such Tax Returns (provided, that the Sellers’ Representative must provide any such comments reasonably in advance of the due date for the applicable Tax Return taking into account the date any such Tax Return was first delivered to the Sellers’ Representative) and in no event shall file any such Tax Return without the consent of Sellers’ Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items with respect to Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or

Straddle Periods. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to reach such a resolution within five (5) days after receipt by the party responsible for filing such Tax Return of such comments, the disputed items shall be resolved by final determination of the Independent Accountant with the range of the respective calculations of the parties. If a draft Tax Return is subject to an ongoing dispute under this Section 8.1 at the time that it is required to be filed, then such Tax Return shall be filed as initially prepared by the filing party, with an amended Tax Return reflecting the resolution by the Independent Accountant to be filed following the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the dispute. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant (and all reasonable fees and expenses of the attorneys, accountants and other representatives engaged by Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative) in connection with any dispute under this Section 8.1 shall be allocated between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of unsuccessfully disputed items submitted to the Independent Accountant by each party (based on the final determination of the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted, in the same manner as described in Section 3.2(b). The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by Revenue Ruling 99-6, Situation 2, and (ii) each Subsidiary that is a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes will make a Section 754 election on its Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the purchase of the Membership Interests by the Buyer if such an election has not previously been made for the relevant Subsidiary. The Parties shall file any Tax Return consistent with the foregoing and shall not take any inconsistent position in any Tax Return or Tax Claim.

8.2 Amended Tax Returns. Without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, Buyer shall not amend any Tax Returns of Comfort Care for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

8.3 Cooperation. The Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other to provide each other with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Returns, including any Tax audit or other examination in connection with an administrative or judicial proceeding involving a Taxing authority relating to Taxes. Buyer shall cooperate reasonably with the Sellers’ Representative, to the extent reasonably necessary, in the preparation and filing of Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including by making Comfort Care’s books and records available for inspection by the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative’s accountants, auditors and attorneys upon reasonable advance notice and including, if required by applicable Law, causing such returns to be signed by appropriate pre-Closing officers of Comfort Care, as the case may be. Such cooperation will include, upon the Sellers’ Representative’s request, providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such matters and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information. Buyer shall cause Comfort Care to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Comfort Care relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Sellers’ Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by any record retention agreement entered into with any Taxing authority.

8.4 Tax Audits.

(a) If a claim shall be made by any Taxing authority, then the Party with notice of the claim shall give notice to the other Party in writing of such claim and of any counterclaim the notifying Party proposes to assert (a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the other Party has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. With respect to any Tax Claim for any income Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period), the Sellers’ Representative shall, solely at the cost and expense of Sellers, control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and,

without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall have the right, at its expense, to participate (including through its own counsel) in such Tax Claim, and the Sellers’ Representative shall keep the Buyer informed of the progress of any such Tax Claim, and shall not settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period or a Post-Closing Tax Period or any other Tax Claim the Sellers’ Representative does not control, the Buyer shall, solely at its own cost and expense, control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, that the Sellers’ Representative may, at the Sellers’ expense, participate (including through its own counsel) in any contest of any Tax Claim in respect of a Straddle Period to the extent that the Sellers will economically bear any resulting Tax liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall not settle any such Tax Claim with respect to such Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Except to the extent otherwise provided with the prior written consent of the Buyer, Comfort Care, and its respective “partnership representatives” or “designated individuals” (as defined under the Partnership Audit Rules) shall make a “push-out” election under Section 6226 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law) with respect to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period, following the final resolution of any Tax audit, examination or Proceeding, and following receipt of a notice of final partnership adjustment with respect to an imputed underpayment under Chapter 63 of the Code (or under similar state, local, or non-U.S. Law), and each Seller agrees to report its respective shares of any such adjustments on its respective U.S. federal income Tax Returns in compliance with the requirements of Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

8.5 Transfer Taxes. Any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, transfer tax, bulk sales or other similar Tax imposed on the Companies, the Subsidiaries or the Sellers as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes, will be paid equally by the Buyer on the one hand and by the Sellers on the other hand. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative hereby agree to cooperate with each other to file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes.

8.6 Straddle Period Allocation. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of such Straddle Period shall be deemed to be: (1) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (2) in the case of any Tax not described in clause (1) (such as franchise Taxes, Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed in connection with any sale or transfer or assignment of property) the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date. For purposes of clause (2) of the preceding sentence, any allocation of gross or net income or deductions or other items required to determine any Taxes attributable to such a Straddle Period shall be

made by means of a closing of the books and records of Comfort Care as of the close of business on the Closing Date, provided, that exemptions, allowances, deductions or periodic Taxes (such as property Taxes) that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

8.7 Allocation of Refunds and Credits. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative upon his reasonable request and at the Sellers’ expense in filing any amended Tax Returns or claims for refund that the Sellers’ Representative determines is necessary in order to claim a refund of Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes shall be for the account of Buyer to the extent such refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes are attributable (determined on a marginal basis) to the carryback from a Post-Closing Tax Period of items of loss, deduction or credit, or other Tax items, of Comfort Care (or any of its Affiliates, including Buyer). The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of Company for any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Buyer. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of Comfort Care or any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between the Sellers and Buyer in accordance with the principles of Section 8.6. Each party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the party entitled to receive the amount of any such cash refund within ten (10) days after such refund is received or after such credit or offset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be.

8.8 Transaction Tax Deductions. To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, any and all deductions related to all transaction expenses and payments that are paid by or on behalf of Comfort Care prior to or in connection with the Closing and deductible by Comfort Care for Tax purposes, including other fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, and investment bankers (such deductions, the “Transaction Tax Deductions”) shall be treated for income Tax purposes as having been incurred by Comfort Care in, and reflected as a deduction on the income Tax Returns of Comfort Care for, the Taxable period or portion thereof ending on the Closing Date.

8.9 Dispute Resolution. Except as provided otherwise in this Article VIII, any dispute, controversy, or claim between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, that arises out of or relates to the provisions of this Agreement, that relates to Taxes and that cannot be resolved by negotiations between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution. The Independent Accountant shall control the proceedings related to the dispute resolution and may request such evidence and information as it deems necessary. The Independent Accountant shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Independent Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of any Tax or other amount in dispute which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. Except as provided otherwise in this Article VIII, the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers on the other hand.

8.10 Indemnity by Sellers. The Sellers shall on a several basis indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates from and against: (i) all liability for Taxes of the Companies or the Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including, for the avoidance of doubt, withholding Taxes that Companies or the Subsidiaries are required to remit to any Taxing authorities in respect of all Pre-Closing Tax Periods); (ii) any Taxes for which any Company or Subsidiary (or any predecessor for the foregoing) is held liable under

Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) by reason of such entity being included in any consolidated, affiliated, combined or unitary group at any time on or before the Closing Date, (iii) any Taxes imposed on or payable by third parties with respect to which any Company or Subsidiary is held liable as a transferee or successor, by contract, pursuant to any law or otherwise, which Taxes relate to an event or a transaction consummated on or prior to the Closing, (iv) any Taxes imposed on the Companies and Subsidiaries, the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer as a result of the receipt of Governmental Program Cash (including any forgiveness of any loan in respect of Governmental Program Cash); and (v) all Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of the Sellers pursuant to Section 8.5, in each case except to the extent such Taxes were paid directly by the Sellers in accordance with Section 8.1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto intend that all Taxes shown as due on the Seller-Allocated Tax Returns and all Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods shall be borne by the Sellers.

8.11 Purchase Price Allocation. Buyer and the Sellers agree that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and where permitted or required for state and local income Tax purposes), (a) the sale and purchase of the Membership Interests of Comfort Care Home Health and Comfort Care Hospice pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a sale of the Membership Interests by the Sellers and as a purchase of the assets of the applicable Company by Buyer pursuant to Revenue Ruling 99 6, 1999 2 C.B. 432, Situation 2 (and a deemed purchase of the assets of any Subsidiary that is a disregarded entity for U.S. income Tax purposes), and (b) the sale and purchase of the Membership Interests of Premier Medical Housecall pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a sale and purchase of the assets of Premier Medical Housecall. Comfort Care, the Sellers and the Buyer shall each report, for all Tax purposes, and timely file all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence. Buyer and the Sellers further agree that the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the assets of Comfort Care shall be allocated among the assets of Comfort Care in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and in accordance with the methodology set forth on Exhibit B. Within sixty (60) days after the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.2, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Proposed Allocation Statement”), allocating the Purchase Price (plus assumed liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account) among the assets of Comfort Care, which Allocation Statement shall be consistent with the methodology set forth on Exhibit B. If within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Proposed Allocation Statement, the Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer in writing that the Sellers’ Representative objects to the allocation set forth in the Proposed Allocation Statement, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s notification of dispute, then the Parties shall jointly engage an Independent Accountant (in the manner set forth in Section 3.2) to resolve such dispute, and the decision of such Independent Accountant shall be final; provided that in resolving such dispute, the Independent Accountant shall apply the methodology set forth on Exhibit B. The Independent Account’s fees shall be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers on the other hand. Buyer, its Affiliates, Comfort Care and the Sellers shall file all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594, consistent with the Allocation Statement as finally determined prepared pursuant to this Section 8.11.

The limitations on survival set forth in this Section 10.1 shall not apply to claims for Fraud, which shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect for the full period of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation, tolling or extension thereof). The Parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent necessary to implement the terms and conditions of this Section 10.1, any applicable statute of limitations shall be deemed to be modified.

10.2 Indemnification for Damages.

(a) From and after the Closing, and subject to the applicable conditions and limitations set forth herein, each Seller (severally and not jointly) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and Comfort Care and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, shareholders, members, representatives, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Damages suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any of them by reason of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article IV or Article V of this Agreement or in the certificate delivered by Comfort Care or Sellers pursuant to 9.2(c)(ii) (provided that, if it is a Seller that breaches such Seller’s representation and warranty under Article IV, then only the breaching Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party for such Seller’s breach);

(ii) any failure by any Seller or Comfort Care to observe or perform its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement (provided that, if it is a Seller that breaches such Seller’s covenants, then only the breaching Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party for such Seller’s breach);

(iii) any Debt or Transaction Costs, in each case, to the extent not (A) included as a liability in the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price or in the post-Closing Purchase Price adjustments contemplated by Section 3.2, or (B) paid by Comfort Care prior to the Closing;

(iv) any COVID-19 relief benefits obtained prior to Closing (including, without limitation, PRF Payments) to the extent related to the filing of any certification or application to obtain the same, accuracy and compliance with terms and conditions and attestations required to receive such funds, the use or application of the proceeds thereof by Comfort Care prior to Closing, any reporting with respect thereto by Comfort Care submitted prior to Closing, or the violation of any provision of the CARES Act or other Legal Requirements with respect thereto prior to Closing;

(v) the matters listed on Schedule 10.2(a)(v); and

(vi) any Fraud by Comfort Care (pre-Closing) or any Seller in connection with this Agreement or in the certificate delivered by Comfort Care or any Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(ii).

(b) From and after the Closing, and subject to the applicable conditions and limitations set forth herein, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, shareholders, members, successors, representatives, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against, for and in respect of any and all Damages suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any of them by reason of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(c)(i);

(ii) any failure by Buyer to observe or perform its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement; and

(iii) any Fraud by Buyer in connection with this Agreement or in the certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i).

10.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In no event shall any amounts be recovered by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Article X for any matter for which a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature of the claim and, if known, the estimated amount of such Damages (a “Claim Notice”) is not delivered to the opposite Party. In the case of any Claim Notice with respect to indemnification for representations and warranties under Sections 10.2(a)(i) or 10.2(b)(i), such Claim Notice must be delivered prior to the time that such representations and warranties terminate pursuant to Section 10.1(a).

(b) In the event that any action or suit shall be instituted, or that any claim shall be asserted, by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Sections 10.2(a) or 10.2(b) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly cause a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Party required to provide indemnity hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, that if the Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, such notice shall be sent only to the Sellers’ Representative and shall not be sent to the Sellers. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must reasonably cooperate in any such defense or other action; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard; (ii) as a condition to undertaking such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided hereunder; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any Third Party Claim in the event that counsel to

the Indemnified Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense, and the Indemnified Party may control such defense, if the claim over which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (1) involves a claim which would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation, employees, customers, payors or other material business relations, (2) is a claim by a Governmental Authority (including with respect to Taxes or a material Permit), (3) seeks non-monetary relief (except if the non-monetary relief sought is a declaratory judgment involving monetary Damages), (4) involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (5) is one in which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and joint representation would be, as determined in good faith by the Indemnified Party’s counsel, inappropriate due to conflicts of interest or there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (6) involves a claim which, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend, (7) involves a claim in which a spouse, sibling, parent or descendant (or an income or remainder beneficiary in the case of a trust) of the Indemnifying Party is also a party or (8) seeks Damages in excess of the Indemnifying Party’s cap on liability for Damages arising in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled (A) to employ and engage attorneys of its choice that are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same and (B) to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Indemnifying Party may settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement, compromise or discharge (1) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, (2) does not impose, as a principal source of relief, any injunctive or other equitable relief that would encumber any of the assets of the Indemnified Party or restrict any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business and (3) contains, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from Liability with respect to the particular matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to actively and diligently defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide written notice of such failure to so defend, contest or otherwise protect against such Third Party Claim and, in the event the Indemnifying Party fails to cure such failure within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, shall have the right, but not the obligation, thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make any compromise or settlement thereof, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable judgment, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity therefor. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters, the Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party controls the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof; ( a “Direct Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has actually been prejudiced by such failure. Such Direct Claim Notice shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such Direct Claim Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim, and either concede or deny liability for the claim set forth in such Direct Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”). If an Indemnifying Party fails to timely deliver a Claim Response within such thirty (30) calendar day period by 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on the last day of such period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have conceded, subject only to the limitations set forth herein, the entire amount of such Direct Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to the entire amount of such indemnity Damages which shall be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) calendar days thereafter. If an Indemnifying Party denies liability for a Direct Claim, in whole or in part, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Claim Response corresponding to such dispute, any party may commence appropriate legal proceedings in order to obtain a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to further appeal.

(d) Following the delivery of any Claim Notice (whether in respect of a Third Party Claim or otherwise), the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled pursuant to this Article X shall be determined, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X, by: (i) written agreement between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party; (ii) a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 12.3; or (iii) any other means to which the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party agree in writing. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed to be final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals shall have been finally determined.

10.4 Limitation on Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification provided for under this Article X shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) No amount shall be payable by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of an Indemnified Party’s Damages exceeds $1,725,000.00 (the “Deductible”), after which point, such Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the Damages of such Indemnified Party in excess of the Deductible; provided, that the Deductible shall not be applicable with respect to (i) Damages resulting from a breach of the Fundamental Representations, (ii) Damages resulting from a breach of the Special Representations or (iii) claims based on Fraud.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) If Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), other than as a result of (x) a breach of the Special Representations, (y) a breach of the Fundamental Representations, or (z) in the case of Fraud, (A) after giving effect to Section 10.4(a), the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive source for the satisfaction of any Damages indemnifiable under and pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) and (B) following the exhaustion or release of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Sellers shall have no obligation to satisfy any claim by, or Damages incurred by, any Buyer Indemnified Party under Sections 10.2(a)(i).

(ii) If Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(i) as a result of a breach of the Special Representations: (A) first, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery from the Indemnification Escrow Fund up to the Indemnification Escrow Amount; and (B) thereafter, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery against Sellers; provided, that Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to seek recovery from the Sellers on a several basis and, with respect to each such Seller, for an amount not to exceed such Seller’s Designated Share of an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price, multiplied by fifteen percent (15%), less any amount(s) properly paid out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, and the Sellers shall, in the aggregate, have no obligation to satisfy any claim by, or Damages incurred by, any Buyer Indemnified Party in excess of such amount.

(iii) If Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification (x) pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) as a result of a breach of the Fundamental Representations or (y) pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii)–(vi) (other than Section 10.2(a)(iv)):

(A) (1) first, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery from the Indemnification Escrow Fund up to the Indemnification Escrow Amount;(2) thereafter, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery against Sellers; provided, that Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to seek recovery from the Sellers on a several basis and, with respect to each such Seller, for an amount not to exceed such Seller’s Designated Share of the Base Purchase Price.

(B) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Seller have any obligation to satisfy any claim by, or Damages incurred by, any Buyer Indemnified Party in excess of such Seller’s Designated Share of the Base Purchase Price.

(iv) If Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv), (A) first, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery from the PRF Escrow Fund up to the PRF Escrow Amount; (B) second, following the exhaustion or release of the PRF Escrow Amount, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery for any unpaid Damages from the Indemnification Escrow Fund up to the Indemnification Escrow Amount; and (C) thereafter, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery against Sellers; provided, that Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to seek recovery from the Sellers on a several basis, not to exceed each such Seller’s Designated Share of the Base Purchase Price.

(c) Notwithstanding the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article X, any amounts that otherwise would cause a Party to be entitled to indemnification under this Article X shall be offset by (a) the amount of the proceeds of any insurance received with respect to such Claim; provided, that time for payment of any indemnification claim hereunder shall not be delayed by the recovery of any such insurance proceeds received with respect to such Claim and (b) any Tax benefit recognized in the form of a reduction in Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party or its Affiliates no later than the taxable year in which the indemnification payment is made, and

arising from, the incurrence or payment of such Damages, determined on a “with and without” basis. Neither the Deductible nor Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds received by any Buyer Indemnitee with respect to such Claim. If the Indemnified Party elects to do so, the out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in pursuing any insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or other similar payment with respect to such Claim from any insurer shall reduce the total amount of insurance coverage received in connection with such Damages, except to the extent such costs and expenses are paid or reimbursed by such insurer or other third party. Each Party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Damages.

(d) For the purpose of determining the amount of Damages of any Buyer Indemnified Party entitled to be indemnified under this Article X and for determining whether a breach actually occurred, the representations and warranties of the Companies and the Sellers in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in accordance with this Agreement, which are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, shall be deemed to be made without such materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers; provided, however, that materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers in Section 5.11(b), Section 5.25 and the first sentence of Section 5.14 shall be ignored solely for purposes of calculating the amount of any Damages applicable to a breach or inaccuracy thereof.

(e) No Seller or any Representatives of any Seller shall have any claims or rights to contribution or indemnity from Comfort Care or any of its current or former officers or managers with respect to any amounts paid or payable by such Seller or such Representative thereof pursuant to this Article X. Each Seller acknowledges that neither Comfort Care nor Buyer shall have any director, manager or officer indemnification liability to such Seller with respect to any claim under Section 10.2 based upon such Seller having been a manager, director, officer or employee of Comfort Care prior to the Closing.

(f) The waiver of any closing condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations and warranties.

10.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Sellers and Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

10.6 Exclusive Remedies. Except in the case of Fraud and with respect to amounts payable under Section 3.2, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if the Closing occurs, the remedies provided in this Article X shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies available to any Party (whether at law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) (a) for any breach of the representations or warranties in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in accordance with this Agreement, (b) for any failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreements in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in accordance with this Agreement or (c) otherwise in connection with, arising under, deriving from, involving or relating to this Agreement or any certificate delivered in accordance with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of a Party to seek or obtain injunctive or equitable relief based upon the breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement or to enforce each of the covenants contained in this Agreement (including Section 7.14), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, nor does this Section 10.6 apply to or otherwise limit the right of any Buyer Indemnified Party to pursue any remedies under any of the employment agreements referred to in this Agreement.

10.7 As Is; Where Is. EXCEPT FOR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV AND ARTICLE V, THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS, AND BUYER’S INTEREST IN THE COMFORT CARE BUSINESS AND COMFORT CARE ASSETS ARE BEING ACQUIRED “AS IS, WHERE IS,” AND SELLERS, THE COMPANIES, THEIR AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO LIABILITIES, OPERATIONS, TITLE, CONDITION, VALUE, OR QUALITY OF THE COMFORT CARE ASSETS, OR THE COMFORT CARE BUSINESS, OR ANY PART THEREOF OR THE PROSPECTS (FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE), RISKS AND OTHER INCIDENTS OF SELLERS, THE COMPANIES, THEIR AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES AS THEY RELATE TO THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS, THE COMPANIES, THE COMFORT CARE BUSINESS, AND THE COMFORT CARE ASSETS AND THE SAME EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF, ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, USAGE, OR SUITABILITY OR FITNESS OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THE SUFFICIENCY OR CONDITION OF THE COMFORT CARE ASSETS, OR THE COMFORT CARE BUSINESS, OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR AS TO THE WORKMANSHIP THEREOF, OR THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFECTS THEREIN, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT, IN EACH CASE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV AND ARTICLE V.

10.8 Purchase Price Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Sellers nor Buyer shall have any right to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to Damages to the extent the matter forming the basis for such Damages was taken into account in the determination of the Purchase Price (and any related adjustments thereto pursuant to Article II or Article III).

ARTICLE XI

12.9 Specific Performance. Each of Buyer (one the one hand) and Sellers (on the other) acknowledges and agrees that the other would be damaged irreparably (for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy) in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of Buyer (one the one hand) and Sellers (on the other) agrees that the other will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (or other equitable relief) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

12.11 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties. No amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by all Parties (subject to Section 12.14).

12.12 Disclosure Schedules. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Disclosure Schedules, that such information is required to be listed in the Disclosure Schedules or that such items are material to Comfort Care or Sellers. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of the Disclosure Schedules are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedules are arranged in sections corresponding to those contained in Article IV and Article V merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of such item, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Disclosure Schedules with respect to such other representations or warranties or the presence or absence of a reference thereto in either the Disclosure Schedules or in the particular representation or warranty. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or otherwise in this Agreement or in the Disclosure Schedules is not intended and shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment of the materiality of such amounts or items, nor shall the same be used in any dispute or controversy between the Parties to determine whether any obligation, item or matter (whether or not described herein or included in any schedule) is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any representation, warranty or provision of this Agreement in which such specification occurs).

12.13 Conflicts and Privilege. Buyer and Sellers hereby agree that, in the event a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or Comfort Care and a Seller, Butler Snow LLP may represent such Seller in such dispute even though the interests of such Seller may be directly adverse to Comfort Care, and even though Butler Snow LLP may have represented Comfort Care in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Comfort Care. Buyer further agrees that, as to all communications between Butler Snow LLP, Comfort Care and Sellers that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Privileged Communication”), the attorney-client, work product, business strategy or similar protection or privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Sellers and may be controlled by Sellers, and shall not transfer, pass to or be claimed or controlled by Comfort Care or Buyer notwithstanding the transfer of Membership Interests hereunder; provided that Sellers shall not waive such attorney-client privilege other than to the extent appropriate in connection with the enforcement or defense of their respective rights or obligations existing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a dispute arises between Buyer or Comfort Care and a Person other than a Seller after the Closing, Comfort Care may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Butler Snow LLP to such Person; provided, however, that Comfort Care may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any Company or Subsidiary) is legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, then Buyer shall notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing so that the Sellers’ Representative can seek a protective order. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.13 to the contrary, in any such case, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to seek to provide for access in a manner that does not violate any such privilege or applicable Legal Requirements; provided that in each such case, the Sellers’ Representative shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to enable Buyer and its representatives to enter into appropriate confidentiality, joint defense or similar arrangements so that Buyer and its representatives may have reasonable access to such information.

12.14 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Appointment; Acceptance. Each of the Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed to irrevocably constitute and appoint Phillip Cody Long, acting as hereinafter provided, as the Sellers’ Representative, and appoint the Sellers’ Representative as their exclusive attorney-in-fact and agent in their name, place, and stead in connection with the transactions and agreements contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and acknowledge that such appointment and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Sellers’ Representative hereunder are coupled with an interest and are intended to be durable and to survive the disability or mental incapacity of each Seller and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of the respective member of the Seller and shall be binding on any successor, heir, or Representative thereto. By executing and delivering this Agreement under the heading “Sellers’ Representative,” Philip Cody Long hereby: (a) accepts his appointment and authorization to act as the Sellers’ Representative as attorney-in-fact and agent on behalf of the Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) agrees to perform the obligations required of the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement and any other agreements, documents, certificates, and instruments delivered to the Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Authority. Each Seller fully and completely, without restriction: authorizes the Sellers’ Representative (i) to prepare, finalize, approve, and authorize all exhibits, schedules and other attachments to this Agreement and all other agreements and other documents (including the other Transaction Documents) to be delivered by the Sellers or Comfort Care pursuant to this Agreement (the “Seller Group Delivered Agreements”) and such approval and authorization may be conclusively evidenced by the execution or delivery thereof by the Sellers’

Representative, (ii) to execute and deliver, and to accept delivery of, on their behalf, such amendments as may be deemed by the Sellers’ Representative in his sole discretion to be appropriate under the Seller Group Delivered Agreements, (iii) to act for the Sellers with respect to all post-Closing matters, (iv) to act for the Sellers pursuant to Article II and Article III of this Agreement, (v) to employ and obtain the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers, in Sellers Representative’s sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of his duties as Sellers’ Representative and to rely on their advice and counsel, (vi) to terminate, amend, or waive any provision of this Agreement, provided that any such action, if material to the rights and obligations of the Sellers in the reasonable judgment of the Sellers’ Representative will be taken in the same manner with respect to all Sellers unless otherwise agreed by each of the Sellers who is subject to any disparate treatment of a potentially adverse nature, (vii) to give and receive notices and communications on behalf of Sellers under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (it being agreed that notices and communications to Sellers under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement which are provided to the Sellers’ Representative after the date hereof will be deemed for all purposes to have been given to all Sellers), and (viii) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Sellers which Sellers’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as any of the Sellers could do if personally present and acting; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.14 shall be deemed to authorize the Sellers’ Representative to communicate any inaccurate or misleading information to the Buyer on behalf of any Seller or conduct any activity or matter not authorized by this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the obligations of the Sellers’ Representative set forth in this Section 12.14, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be responsible to any Seller for any Damages which such Seller may suffer by the performance of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Seller Group Delivered Agreements (other than Damages arising from willful violation of Legal Requirements or gross negligence in the performance of such duties under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Seller Group Delivered Agreements). The Sellers’ Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Seller Group Delivered Agreements, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Seller Group Delivered Agreements or shall otherwise exist against the Sellers Representative.

(d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder or under any agreements ancillary hereto, including, without limitation, the Escrow Agreement, shall constitute a decision of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Seller and Buyer may conclusively rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Seller.

(e) The Sellers’ Representative may resign by delivering written notice to each Seller with a copy to Buyer, at least twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of such resignation. A majority of Sellers may terminate the appointment of the Sellers’ Representative, by delivering written notice thereto, with a copy to Buyer, which notice shall designate the effective date of such termination not earlier than five (5) Business Days after Buyer’s and, if applicable, Escrow Agent’s receipt of such notice. In the event of such resignation or termination, a successor the Sellers’ Representative shall be appointed by a majority of Sellers (based on their respective Designated Share) and written notice of such appointment shall be delivered to Buyer and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. After the appointment (or deemed appointment) of a Person as a successor Sellers’ Representative, all references to such Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to include such successor.

(f) Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund.

(i) An amount equal to the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund shall be held, maintained and administered by the Sellers’ Representative and used in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(i) and for the purposes of reimbursing the Sellers’ Representative for any third party expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in such capacity, pursuant to this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto. Sellers will not receive any interest or earnings on the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Sellers’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Sellers’ Representative will hold these funds separate from his own funds, will not use these funds for any other purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to his creditors in the event of bankruptcy.

(ii) The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to draw against the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(i) and at any time and from time to time as and when it becomes necessary to or appropriate to pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in the performance of his duties hereunder, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of accountants and counsel retained by the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative shall be the administrator of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund and shall have sole and absolute authority over the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of his fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. As soon as practicable following the release in full of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, payment of any amounts that Sellers’ Representative determines may be owing under this Agreement, the settlement of any claims or disputes related thereto, and the payment of all expenses related to the foregoing, Sellers’ Representative shall distribute the amount, if any, remaining from the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund to Sellers in accordance with their Designated Share. For tax purposes, the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by Sellers at the time of Closing. If the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund is insufficient to satisfy the foregoing expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative, then Sellers shall pay such expenses based on their Designated Share of such expenses.

12.15 Seller Guaranty of Trust Obligations.

(a) To induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement, J. Norman Estes (“Estes”), by executing this Agreement as a Seller, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally:

(i) guarantees to Buyer, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 12.15 (the “Estes Guarantee”), the prompt performance and payment of all obligations (including under Article X) of (A) The Jennifer Lee Estes Trust, established under the terms of The Shirly Jean Estes Trust dated March 10, 1993, (B) The James N.

(ii) waives any requirement that Buyer exhaust any right, remedy or take any action against the applicable Trust before proceeding hereunder.

(c) Each Seller Guarantor shall remain liable for the payment and for the performance of its guarantee obligations pursuant to this Section 12.15, notwithstanding any act, omission or event that might, but for this sentence, otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Seller Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller Guarantor hereby reserves the right to raise and assert any defenses, claims, counterclaims, set-offs, cross claims, recoupments or limitations (including limitations on and exclusions of certain damages) that could be raised or asserted by any Trust pursuant to this Agreement or applicable Law with respect to any obligation owed or claimed to be owed by such Trust to Buyer under this Agreement.

(d) Each Seller Guarantor hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than notices to the Seller Guarantors and the applicable Trust required to be provided or otherwise delivered pursuant to this Agreement) and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee. Each Seller Guarantor acknowledges that Buyer entered into this Agreement in reliance upon this Guarantee.

(e) Each Seller Guarantor’s undertakings under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until final performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any intermediate payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(f) The obligations of each Seller Guarantor hereunder will not be discharged by: (i) any modification of, or amendment or supplement to, this Agreement approved in writing in accordance with this Agreement, in each case except to the extent expressly set forth therein, (ii) any change in the structure of any Trust; or (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceedings with respect to any Trust. In the event that any payment to Buyer in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to a Seller Guarantor for any reason whatsoever other than the fact that Buyer was not in fact entitled to the payment, to the extent such amount is actually returned to such Seller Guarantor, such Seller Guarantor shall remain fully liable hereunder with respect to such Seller Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made.
