Development Site Notice, such other Party shall arrange to meet with the
noticing Party to discuss and approve or reject the proposed Development Site in
writing. Either Party may reject a Development Site with or without cause, and
neither Party shall have any liability to the other for so rejecting a
Development Site.

limitation: (a) an assessment of the service needs of the communities in which
the Development Site is located; (b) the nature and type of payors for
9
health care services operating in such communities; (c) the patient populations
by payor categories residing in such communities; and (d) the quality and volume
of services, patient mix, payor mix, and case mix of other SNFs in the

prepare preliminary architectural plans or "line drawings" for the SNF proposed
to be developed on the applicable Development Site. The Representatives shall
receive and review the line drawings, authorize any necessary modifications
thereto, and agree in writing upon the final version thereof, within thirty (30)
days of the approval of the applicable Development Site.
2.1.4 Budget and Financial Pro Forma. Immediately following the
------------------------------
approval of a market study, the Representatives shall begin preparing, or cause
to be prepared, a budget and pro-forma financial statement for the development,
construction and operation of the SNF proposed for the Development Site. Such
budget and pro-forma financial statement shall be completed and approved or
disapproved in writing by the Representatives within thirty (30) days of the
approval of the applicable market study and shall include, without limitation, a
line item-by-item estimate of the costs of developing and constructing the SNF,
including the Development Costs, and the costs of preparing it for operation,
and the projected revenues and expenses associated with the first five (5) years
of operation of the SNF.
2.1.5 Financing. Within thirty (30) days of the approval of a market
---------
study, the Representatives shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, such
materials and information as may
10
be necessary to submit to prospective lenders for the financing of the
acquisition and development of the Development Site and the construction and
take-out financing for the SNF to be constructed on the applicable Development
Site. In connection with the preparation of such materials and information, the
Representatives shall agree upon and identify in writing the potential source of
the construction and take-out financing, which may be Baylor or a third party,
and set forth in writing the nature of the lessor-lessee arrangement between the
owner of the SNF, as lessor, and Fountain View, as lessee. The Representatives
shall submit the materials and information to the potential sources of
financing, negotiate with the sources responding, approve or disapprove of the
financing, and select the source of the financing and finalize the terms of the
financing in a binding loan commitment or similar document within thirty (30)
days of completion of such materials and information. Neither Baylor nor any of
its Affiliates will be required to guarantee all or any portion of any financing
or undertake any representations or warranties with respect to any project or
financing involving a SNF which neither Baylor nor any of its Affiliates owns,
and shall have no liability with respect thereto except for ancillary contracts
or leases executed by Baylor or an Affiliate of Baylor.
2.1.6 Final Architectural Plans. Within thirty (30) days of the
-------------------------
securing of the financing for the applicable SNF, the Representatives shall
select and commission an architect licensed in the State of Texas (which may be
the same Person as prepared the line drawings), to develop definitive
architectural plans and specifications. The Representatives shall review such
plans and specifications, authorize any necessary modifications thereto and
agree upon the final version thereof in writing, within one hundred twenty (120)
days of receipt of such plans from such Person.
2.1.7 Selection of Contractor. Within sixty (60) days of completion
-----------------------
of the architectural plans and specifications, the Representatives shall solicit
bids from and select a
11
general contractor to construct the SNF on the applicable Development Site. The
Representatives shall negotiate the construction contract with the bidder
selected, and ensure that the contract is executed by the appropriate parties,
within ninety (90) days of the selection of the contractor.
2.1.8 Project Management and Supervision. Baylor shall have primary
----------------------------------
responsibility for: (a) acquiring or arranging the acquisition of each
Development Site; (b) supervising the development of each Development Site and
the construction of each of the SNFs developed hereunder; (c) monitoring
compliance with each applicable acquisition construction/development and related
contract; (d) monitoring contractor and subcontractor compliance with their
contractual obligations to (i) comply with all applicable deed and plat
restrictions and all applicable building, zoning, subdivision, land-use, health,
sanitation, environmental protection and other applicable federal, state and
local laws and regulations, and (ii) obtain all licenses, permits, approvals,
anthorizations and certifications from local, state and federal governmental
agencies required for the development and construction of the SNF; (e) providing
any and all information reasonably available to it which is necessary to
complete construction of the SNF; (f) preparing the SNF for commencing
operations; and (g) resolving in a commercially reasonable manner, as determined
by Baylor in the exercise of its business discretion, disputes and problems
arising under the site acquisition, development and construction contracts.
Fountain View shall assist Baylor in fulfilling such obligations, including the
provision of the services of a Fountain View construction representative. Baylor
shall reimburse Fountain View for all actual and reasonable costs, fees, and
business expenses of the Fountain View construction representative incurred in
assisting Baylor in connection with construction of the SNF, provided such
expenses are included in the budget for the project
12
approved by the Parties, within thirty (30) days of receiving Fountain View's
invoice therefor, together with supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory
to Baylor.
2.1.9 Operational Matters. Fountain View shall have primary
-------------------
responsibility for: (a) obtaining all licenses and permits from all applicable
government agencies required for operating the property as a SNF after
completion of construction; (b) obtaining certification from all applicable
government agencies required for reimbursement for health care services rendered
at the SNF; (c) selecting the management information system and other business
systems to be installed in the SNF and used in its operations; (d) recruiting,
interviewing and hiring the professional and lay staff for the SNF; (e)
developing the governing rules and regulations and operational policies for the
SNF; and (f) otherwise enabling the operation of the SNF to commence timely in
accordance with applicable law and good business practice.
2.2 Responsibility for Performance. Except as provided in Sections 2.1.8
------------------------------
and 2.1.9, the duties provided for in Section 2.1 shall be performed jointly by
one (1) representative designated by Baylor in writing and one (1)
representative designated by Fountain View in writing (each, a "Representative",
and collectively, "Representatives"). The Representatives shall meet, in good
faith, when and as necessary to timely perform such duties. Fulfillment of such
duties shall require the mutual agreement of the Representatives which shall be
reduced to writing. The Representative designated by a Party may be changed at
any time by written notice to the other Party.
2.3 Reasonable Efforts. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable
------------------
efforts to complete each act and make each decision in Section 2.1.1 through
2.1.7 of this Article II within the specified time frames. In the event the
Parties are unable to complete any act or make any decision within the specified
time frame, but have not reached an impasse concerning such act
13
or decision, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such
decision or complete such act as quickly as is reasonably possible.
2.4 Differences of Opinion. In the event the Representatives cannot agree
----------------------
on a particular matter, Baylor may proceed with the construction of the SNF with
another Person, provided, however, Baylor may do so only on substantially the
same terms and conditions as were presented to and rejected by Fountain View,
including the terms and conditions relating to the development phase or phases
at which Fountain View indicated its rejection and all prior development phases,
but not including terms and conditions not presented to and rejected by Fountain
View and which occur after the development phase at which Fountain View
indicated its rejection but not otherwise. In the event of any material change
in the terms or conditions rejected by Fountain View, Baylor may not proceed
with the construction project with another Person until Baylor has first given
Fountain View written notice specifying in reasonable detail each change in such
terms or conditions, and Fountain View has refused to accept, or agreed to
proceed with Baylor on, such changed terms or conditions. Fountain View shall
advise Baylor in writing of its election within thirty (30) days of receipt of
such notice, with failure to notify or notify timely constituting a rejection by
Fountain View.
2.5 Payment of Expenses. Except as provided in Section 2.1.8 hereof, each
-------------------
Party shall be solely responsible for any and air fees, costs and expenses it
incurs in performing its obligations under Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4
hereof. Baylor shall be responsible for paying all fees, costs and expenses
associated with all third parties involved in the development of a Development
Site and the construction of a SNF thereon (but excluding costs incurred in
Section 2.1.9 and otherwise for the operation of the SNF), including, without
limitation, all Development Costs; provided, however, that Baylor shall be
entitled to recoup its actual "out-of-pocket expenses" for such fees, costs and
expenses including Development Costs) from
14
the construction or take-out financing. In the event the construction project is
abandoned for any reason, Baylor shall not be entitled to reimbursement from
Fountain View or any Fountain View Affiliate for any portion of such fees, costs
and or expenses. For purposes of this Section 2.5, Baylor's out-of-pocket costs
shall not include any overhead, general or internal costs or allocations of
Baylor, or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that Baylor's out-of-pocket
expenses shall include, but not be limited to: (a) fees paid by Baylor to its
Affiliates (i) for the development and completion of a market study as provided
in Section 2.1.2 above, (ii) the preparation of a preliminary architectural plan
as provided in Section 2.1.3 above, (iii) the preparation of final architectural
plans as provided in Section 2.1.6 above, and (iv) similar fees for specific
services performed or goods provided which are not in the nature of overhead,
general or internal costs; and (b) any costs, fees or expenses reimbursed to
Fountain View pursuant to Section 2.1.8.
2.6 Exclusivity. For the period commencing on the Execution Date and
-----------
ending on the tenth anniversary of the Execution Date or earlier termination of
this Agreement or all rights of Fountain View under the License Agreement (as
defined in Section 3.3 of this Agreement), neither Party, nor any Affiliate of a
Party, shall participate in the development, construction, or operation
(including operations as a lessee of a SNF facility or under a management
contract) of a new SNF within the Development Territory except as provided in
this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Term "new SNF" means a SNF
that has not been built, and on which construction has not begun, as of the
Execution Date.

which it shall become the lessee of the SNF as provided in Article V of this
Agreement, which execution shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
3.1.1 Development Fee. The License and Development Fee for a SNF
---------------
shall equal eight percent (8%) of the Development Costs applicable to the SNF.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1.4, the License and Development Fee for
a SNF shall be payable in Development Fee Warrants, cash, or a combination of
Development Fee Warrants and cash, such that the fair market value of the
warrants, at the time they are granted, if any, plus the amount of cash, if any,
shall be equal to the amount of the License and Development Fee. The portion, if
any, of each License and Development Fee to be paid in Development Fee Warrants
and the portion be paid in cash shall be at the sole discretion of Baylor;
provided, however, that the fair market value of the Development Fee Warrants as
determined under Section 3.1.2, granted as part of the License and Development
Fee for a SNF, shall not exceed 0.3% of fully diluted common equity of Fountain
View as of that date.
16
3.1.2 Fair Market Value of Development Fee Warrants. In the event
---------------------------------------------
Baylor elects to have a portion of any License and Development Fee paid in
warrants, the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days of Baylor providing
Fountain View with written notice of such election, attempt to agree on the fair
market value of the warrants. In the event the Parties do not agree on the fair
market value of the warrants within such time frame, the Parties shall mutually
select to establish the fair market value of the warrants a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized
investment banking firm, with documented expertise in valuing the securities of
publicly and privately held health care companies. The decision of the firm
selected by the Parties shall be final and binding on the Parties. In the event
the Parties cannot agree on a firm to value the warrants, each Party shall
designate a firm that meets the above criteria, which, in turn, shall designate
a third firm (the "Designated Firm") which meets the above criteria. The
Designated Firm shall determine the fair market value of the warrants, and its
decision shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Parties mutually
agree on the fair market value of the warrants, the Parties shall document the
basis for the determination, which shall include analysis of independent
verifiable market data and information.
3.1.3 Terms of Development Fee Warrants. Any Development Fee Warrants
---------------------------------
granted hereunder shall entitle Baylor to purchase a specified number of shares
of Series C common stock in Fountain View at $.01 per share, such that the fair
market value on the date of grant of the shares of Series C common stock to be
issued in connection with such Development Fee Warrants shall equal the portion
of the applicable Development Fee which Baylor has elected to receive in
Development Fee Warrants. Any Development Fee Warrants shall first be
exercisable on the date granted, and shall expire on the tenth anniversary of
the date granted. As a condition precedent to the grant of any Development Fee
Warrants, Baylor
17
shall execute a counterpart signature page agreeing that all shares to be issued
under the Development Fee Warrants shall be subject to the Stockholder's
Agreement dated March 27, 1998, among Fountain View and its stockholders and
such other related documents as Fountain View may reasonably require.
3.1.4 Material Change of Ownership
----------------------------
3.1.4.1 Prior to Lease Commitment. Notwithstanding any other
-------------------------
provision of this Agreement, in the event a Material Change of Ownership in
Fountain View shall occur after the commencement of the development of a SNF
project on a Development Site, and prior to the earlier of the: (a) Permanent
Financing Close Date with respect to such SNF project; (b) the date on which
Fountain View shall have executed a lease for such SNF; or (c) the date on which
Fountain View shall have executed a binding commitment to lease such SNF,
Fountain View may, at its sole discretion, elect to proceed with the development
of the SNF in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or may
elect not to so proceed with the SNF project. If Fountain View elects to proceed
with the development of the SNF, but Fountain View and Baylor are unable to
agree on a matter as discussed in Section 2.4 of this Agreement, the provisions
of Section 2.4 shall apply. If Fountain View elects not to proceed with the
development of the SNF, (a) Fountain View shall reimburse Baylor for such
Development Costs incurred by Baylor in connection with such project as Baylor
may elect by providing Fountain View with written notice of such election
within thirty (30) days of Fountain View's election not to proceed, provided if
Baylor elects to be reimbursed from Fountain View for any Development Costs,
Baylor shall convey, transfer and deliver to Fountain View at no further cost or
expense to Fountain View, all of Baylor's right, title, and interest in and to
such property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, as was acquired by
Baylor for the Development Costs reimbursed by Fountain View, and (b) Fountain
View shall have no further
18
obligation with respect to such project, including, without limitation, the
payment of a License and Development Fee or any other fee to Baylor. Baylor and
Fountain View shall execute such documents and take such further acts as may be
reasonable and necessary to effectuate any conveyance, transfer and delivery of
property pursuant to this Section 3.1.4.1. Fountain View shall make a separate
election with respect to each SNF to which this Section 3.1.4.1 is applicable.
3.1.4.2 After Lease Commitment. Notwithstanding any other provision
----------------------
of this Agreement, in the event a Material Change of Ownership occurs after
Fountain View executes a binding commitment to lease a SNF which is being
developed under this Agreement, and before the Permanent Financing Close Date
applicable to such SNF, Fountain View may, at its sole discretion, elect as
follows: (a) Fountain View may elect to proceed with the development of the SNF
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (excluding the
remainder of this Section 3.1.4.2); or (b) Fountain View may elect to proceed
under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except that Fountain View
shall pay to Baylor the License and Development Fee for the SNF in cash only (at
the time specified in Section 3.2 hereof) and Baylor shall not then have the
option of receiving any portion of such License and Development Fee in
Development Fee Warrants. If Fountain View elects to proceed under clause (b) of
the preceding sentence, Baylor may, at its sole discretion, notify Fountain View
in writing within fifteen (15) days of being advised by Fountain View of such
election that it demands some or all of the License and Development Fee
applicable to the SNF be paid in Development Fee Warrants. Fountain View shall
then have the option, in its sole discretion, to agree to proceed with the
development of the SNF under this Agreement, and to pay some or all of the
License and Development Fee in Development Fee Warrants as demanded by Baylor in
accordance with the provisions of this Article III, or to reject Baylor's
demand, in
19
which case (a) Fountain View shall have no further obligation with respect to
such SNF under this Agreement, including without limitation, the payment of a
License and Development Fee or any other fee to Baylor, and (b) Baylor may
proceed with the development and construction of the SNF by itself or with a
third party, subject to applicable law and other applicable agreements. Baylor
and Fountain View shall make the elections described under this Section
separately with respect to each SNF to which this Section is applicable.
3.2 Payment of Consideration. Baylor shall be paid the License and
------------------------
Development Fee applicable to a SNF on the Permanent Financing Close Date for
such SNF. Fountain View shall have no obligation to pay Baylor any License and
Development Fee for a SNF unless and until the Permanent Financing Close Date
for the SNF has occurred.
3.3 License to Use Baylor Name. Baylor and Fountain View shall enter into
--------------------------
a servicemark sublicense agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A ("License Agreement"), pursuant to which Baylor shall license to
Fountain View the use of the Baylor name in connection with the operation of the
SNF's developed on or within one mile of Baylor Facilities hereunder, subject to
and upon all of the terms and conditions of the License Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
DEVELOPMENT OF SNFS OUTSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT TERRITORY
-----------------------------------------------------
4.1 Development Assistance. From time to time during the term of this
----------------------
Agreement, Baylor may become aware of non-Baylor hospitals and health care
facilities operating outside of the Development Territory that desire to develop
and construct SNFs in their respective service areas. If Baylor becomes aware of
any such situation, it may (but shall not be obligated
20
to) advise Fountain View thereof in writing, and, if requested in writing by
Fountain View, introduce the parties. If Fountain View pursues the opportunity,
and enters into an arrangement with a non-Baylor hospital or other health care
facility to develop, construct and lease a SNF, Fountain View shall offer Baylor
the opportunity to assist in the development of such SNF, on definitive terms
and conditions to be negotiated at the time.
4.2 Consideration.
-------------
4.2.1 Prior to Material Change of Ownership. In the event Baylor and
-------------------------------------
Fountain View agree pursuant to Section 4.1 above on the development assistance
to be provided by Baylor in connection with the development of a SNF outside of
the Development Territory (each, a "Non-Baylor SNF"), and Baylor provides such
development assistance, Fountain View shall xxxxx Xxxxxx warrants to purchase
shares of Series C common stock in Fountain View for each Non-Baylor SNF so
developed on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.2 of this
Agreement. Subject to the terms of Sections 4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 4.2.4 hereof, the
warrants shall be granted following the close of the first full fiscal year
during which the Non-Baylor SNF's EBITDA for such fiscal year (the "Facility-
Level EBITDA") is greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) of such SNF's Net
Revenue for such fiscal year (which fiscal year shall be referred to hereinafter
as the "Valuation Year"), all as determined by Fountain View's external
auditors, and shall be granted as soon as possible after such determination is
made. Subject to the terms of Section 4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 4.2.4, the warrants
shall entitle Baylor to purchase such number of shares of Series C common stock
of Fountain View, at a price of $.01 per share, which is equal to the product of
(a) twice the Facility-Level EBITDA divided by $677 million, multiplied by
(b) the number of shares of Fountain View common stock issued and outstanding
on the date the warrants are granted.
21
4.2.2 Material change of Ownership or Sixth Anniversary. In the event
-------------------------------------------------
either: (a) a Material Change of Ownership in Fountain View; or (b) the sixth
anniversary of the Execution Date shall occur, after the date on which a Non-
Baylor SNF accepts its first patient, but prior to the completion of the
Valuation Year for such SNF, Fountain View, shall compensate Baylor for its
development assistance with respect to such project which compensation shall, at
the election of Fountain View, be: (a) in accordance with the terms of Section
4.2.1 hereof; or (b) in accordance with the following terms:
(i) Fountain View shall xxxxx Xxxxxx warrants, as
described below, as soon as practicable following the date (the "Terminal Date")
which is the earlier of the date on which the Material Change of Ownership
occurs or the sixth anniversary of the Execution Date.
(ii) The warrants shall entitle Baylor to purchase such
number of shares of Fountain View Series C common stock, at $.Ol per share,
which is equal to the product of (a) twice the EBITDA, if any, for the Non-
Baylor SNF for the prior four (4) full fiscal quarters immediately preceding
the Terminal Date divided by $677 million, multiplied by (b) the number of
shares of Fountain View common stock issued and outstanding on the date the
warrants are granted.
(iii) In the event the Terminal Date occurs after a Non-
Baylor SNF has been operating for two (2) full fiscal quarters, but fewer than
four (4) full fiscal quarters, the EBITDA for the SNF to be used in the formula
in subparagraph (ii) of this section shall be equal to the annualized EBITDA for
the SNF from the date on which the SNF began operating to and including the
Terminal Date. A SNF shall be deemed to begin operating on the date it admits
its first patient.
22
4.2.3 Inadequate Operating Period. Notwithstanding any other
---------------------------
provision of this Agreement, Baylor shall not be entitled to any compensation
with respect to a Non-Baylor SNF if a Terminal Date occurs and such SNF has not
been operating for at least two full fiscal quarters on the terminal Date.
4.3 General. Any warrants granted under this Article IV shall expire on
-------
the tenth anniversary of the date on which they were granted. Baylor shall have
the right, at its expense and not more often than once each year with respect to
each Non-Baylor SNF, using representatives of its choosing, to audit the books
and records of Fountain View relating to such SNF in connection with the
determination of Facility-Level EBITDA and Net Revenue, and Fountain View agrees
to cooperate reasonably in the conduct of any such audit. As a condition
precedent to the issuance of any warrants under this Article IV, Baylor shall
execute a counterpart signature page agreeing that all shares to be issued under
the Development Fee Warrants shall be subject to the Stockholder's Agreement
dated March 27, 1998, among Fountain View and its stockholders and such other
documents as Fountain View may reasonably require.
ARTICLE V
LEASE OF SNFS
-------------
5.1 Operating Lease. If Baylor is the owner of the applicable SNF
---------------
constructed under this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate and enter into an
operating lease, pursuant to which Fountain View shall operate such SNF.
Although each such operating lease shall be negotiated separately, each such
lease shall include terms that substantially comply with the following: (a) the
annual rent payable under the lease shall be paid in monthly installments equal
to the
23
monthly finance costs of the SNF plus a reasonable rate of return to be agreed
upon by Fountain View and Baylor at the time the lease is negotiated; (b) the
lease shall be "triple net" (i.e., lessee shall pay taxes and assessments, and
for maintenance, repairs, insurance and utilities); (c) the term of each lease
shall be ten (10) years with three (3) ten (10) year renewal options, at the
option of Fountain View, provided that the rent and other terms and conditions
applicable with respect to the renewal options shall be set forth in the lease
when the lease is first executed; (d) the lease shall not be terminable by
either party except; (i) for a material breach that remains uncured after a
reasonable period of time as is customary in arm's-length commercial leases for
comparable facilities in the Development Territory; (ii) if the SNF's operating
license or Medicare or Medicaid certification is suspended or removed after it
had been obtained by the SNF and Fountain View is unable to restore the license
or certification within one hundred twenty (120) days of its suspension or
removal; or (iii) if Baylor elects pursuant to a provision of this Agreement to
take over such lease and succeed to Fountain View's rights and interests under
such lease; and (e) the lease shall contain such other terms, conditions,
representations, warranties and indemnities as are usual and customary for
arm's-length leases in the applicable community.
5.2 Takeover of Lease. If Baylor is not the owner of the applicable SNF
-----------------
constructed under this Agreement, and the SNF is located on a Development Site,
Fountain View shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in its
operating lease with the applicable lessor provisions that: (a) require such
lessor to notify Baylor in the event that Fountain View is in breach of the
operating lease and has not cured that breach within a reasonable period of time
and, therefore, that the lessor plans to terminate the lease; and (b) would
allow Baylor the opportunity, but not the obligation, to take over Fountain
View's position under the lease, in each instance where it is provided for in
this Development Agreement, subject to the rights of
24
any lenders to Fountain View in the event (i) of such termination, or (ii) that
the SNF's operating license or Medicare or Medicaid certification is suspended
or removed and Fountain View is unable to restore the license or certification
within one hundred twenty (120) days of such suspension or renewal. Baylor shall
be entitled to participate in the negotiations with respect to each operating
lease regarding provisions affecting Baylor's rights under this section.
5.3 Baylor Assumption of Fountain View Lease.
----------------------------------------
5.3.1 Off Campus Facility. In the event the operating license or the
-------------------
Medicare or Medicaid certification of a SNF that is leased to Fountain View by
Baylor or a Baylor Affiliate and that is located in the Development Territory
but is not located within one mile of a Baylor Facility, is suspended or
removed after it has been obtained and Fountain View is unable to restore the
license or certification within the time period specified in Section 5.1 above,
Baylor may; (a) provide written notice to Fountain View of its desire to
terminate such lease in which Baylor is the lessor or to take over a lease, and
succeed to all of Fountain View's rights and interests thereunder, in which
Baylor or a Baylor Affiliate is not the lessor (the "Section 5.3 Notice");
(b)pay Fountain View the then-current fair market value of the business and
operation of the applicable SNF operated as a going concern (as calculated
below) (the "Fair Market Value"); (c) become solely responsible for the
operation of the SNF from and after (i) the effective date of termination of the
operating lease of a SNF leased to Fountain View by Baylor or a Baylor
Affiliate; or (ii) the date on which Baylor takes over Fountain View's position
under a lease where Baylor or a Baylor Affiliate is not the lessor, without
waiver of any rights of Baylor or the lessor against Fountain View for its acts
or omissions causing such event; and (d) indemnify Fountain View and its
officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims,
demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities, actions, suits and
damages (collectively "Losses"), including, without limitation, interest and
penalties,
25
reasonable attorney's fees and costs, and all amounts paid in settlement,
arising from or with respect to such subsequent operation of the SNF; except to
the extent Fountain View's acts or omissions contribute to the Losses. Baylor
shall pay Fountain View such Fair Market Value, in fall, within ninety (90) days
of the determination thereof, as provided below.
5.3.2 Baylor-Related Facility. In the event the operating license or
-----------------------
Medicare or Medicaid certification of a SNF that: (a) has been developed under
this Agreement; (b) is located on or within one (1) mile of a Baylor Facility;
and (c) is leased to Fountain View by Baylor, a Baylor Affiliate, or any other
Person, is suspended or removed after it has been obtained and Fountain View is
unable to restore the license or certification within the time period specified
in Section 5.1 above, Baylor may; (a) terminate the lease between Fountain View
and Baylor or a Baylor Affiliate in accordance with its terms; or (b) replace
Fountain View as the lessee under a lease with a third party, and take over and
succeed to all of Fountain View's rights and interests in such lease, and Baylor
shall have no obligation under this Agreement to make any payment to Fountain
View as a consequence of such termination or replacement. Fountain View does not
hereby waive any rights it may have under any lease or other agreement, or under
law, to payment from Baylor or otherwise.
5.4 Determination of Fair Market Value. The Parties shall meet and
----------------------------------
confer in good faith for a period of at least sixty (60) days after Baylor
provides a Section 5.3 Notice to determine a mutually agreeable Fair Market
Value for the applicable SNF. In the event the Parties cannot agree on a value
within such time period, each Party shall appoint an appraiser experienced in
valuing SNFs or comparable health care facilities in the applicable geographic
area. The two (2) appraisers shall meet, for a period not to exceed thirty (30)
days, to establish a Fair Market Value for the SNF. In the event the appraisers
cannot agree on such a value within such time period, and the higher of the two
valuations is not more than 110% of the
26
lower of the two valuations, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the
two valuations. If the higher of the two valuations is more than 110% of the
lower of the two valuations, the appraisers shall promptly select a third
appraiser who shall deliver his or her determination of the Fair Market Value of
the SNF to the Parties within thirty (30) days of his or her selection. The Fair
Market Value shall equal the average of (a) the valuation of the third
appraiser, and (b) the valuation of the first two appraisers which is closest in
amount to the valuation of the third appraiser; provided, however, that if the
amount of the valuation of the third appraiser is equidistant from the amount of
each of the other two valuations, the Fair Market Value shall be the Fair Market
Value determined by the third appraiser. In determining the Fair Market Value of
a SNF which Baylor or a Baylor Affiliate owns and has leased to Fountain View,
the fact that Baylor or its Affiliate shall own the SNF, including its
operations unencumbered by a lease after the lease with Fountain View is
terminated, shall be taken into account. If the Parties mutually agree on a
Fair Market Value, the Parties shall document the basis for the determination of
the Fair Market Value.
5.5 Leasehold Mortgage. Baylor and Fountain View shall use commercially
------------------
reasonable efforts to obtain a mortgage on any leasehold on a SNF developed
under this Agreement in favor of Fountain View's lenders in the event so
requested by such lenders.
5.6 Inspection. Fountain View shall permit duly authorized
----------
representatives of Baylor to inspect the premises of Fountain View and the SNFs
developed under this Agreement in the Development Territory at all reasonable
times, upon reasonable request for purposes of ascertaining or determining
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon request of Baylor, Fountain
View shall cause the officers, employees, agents, attorneys, contractors and
accountants of Fountain View and of each such SNF to meet with representatives
of Baylor,
27
cooperate fully with such representatives and respond to all questions and
inquiries of such representatives with respect to the operation of such SNFs.
ARTICLE VI

---------------------------
quality assurance committee ("Q.A. Committee") for each SNF developed in the
Development Territory pursuant to this Agreement. Each committee shall consist

persons appointed by Fountain View ("Fountain View Members"). The Baylor Members
shall include at least one (1) licensed physician and one (1) registered nurse.
Each Q.A. Committee shall meet at least monthly, and shall be available to meet
immediately if the need so arises, Each Q.A. Committee shall serve in an
advisory capacity and make recommendations to the Board of Directors of the
applicable SNF. Each such recommendation shall require a majority vote of the
Q.A. Committee. The Board of Directors of each SNF shall have the discretion to
accept or reject the recommendations of the Q.A. Committee.
6.2 Responsibilities of Q.A. Committees. Each Q.A. Committee shall be
-----------------------------------
responsible for:
(a) reviewing all certification, licensure and accreditation
survey reports for the SNF;
(b) recommending quality assurance parameters, protocols and
guidelines;
(c) reviewing critical pathways;
28
(d) conducting periodic quality assurance reviews and
outcomes analyses;
(e) making recommendations regarding quality improvement;
and
(f) engaging in such other quality-related activities as may
be requested by the applicable SNF Board of Directors.
6.3 Failure to Follow Recommendations. In the event the Baylor Members
---------------------------------
believe that a particular recommendation regarding quality assurance or quality
improvement at the applicable SNF to be materially important to Baylor's
reputation or the operation of the SNF, and either the recommendation is not
adopted by a majority of the Q.A. Committee, or the Board of Directors of the
applicable SNF rejects the recommendation, the Baylor Members and the Fountain
View Members shall meet and confer in good faith for such period of time as is
necessary, but not to exceed thirty (30) days, to thoroughly evaluate the
recommendation desired by the Baylor Members. To the extent practicable, input
from industry representatives and experts relating to the particular issue at
hand shall be obtained and considered during the meet and confer process.
In the event the meet and confer process is unsuccessful, (a) Fountain
View shall have the first option of agreeing to adopt the recommendation,
provided that Baylor shall be solely responsible for paying for all costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by Fountain View in implementing such
recommendation; and (b) Baylor shall have the second option to purchase the SNF
on the terms discussed below, provided that Baylor shall notify Fountain View in
writing of its intent to exercise this option within thirty (30) days of
receiving written notice from Fountain View that it will not exercise its first
option hereunder, and that Baylor's option shall terminate if such notice is not
given timely. If neither Fountain View nor Baylor exercises
29
its option under the preceding sentence, then Fountain View shall have no
obligation to implement the recommendation desired by Baylor.
In the event Baylor elects to exercise its option to purchase all of
Fountain View's rights and interests with respect to a SNF under this section,
Baylor shall pay Fountain View, within ninety (90) days of notice of the
exercise of such option, as follows:
(a) If the SNF has been in operation for at least thirty-six (36)
consecutive months, the purchase price paid by Baylor shall be
125% of the then-current SNF Enterprise Value of the SNF, less
the outstanding principal balance of any Fountain View debt
assumed by Baylor in acquiring the SNF.
(b) If the SNF has not been in operation for thirty-six (36)
consecutive months, at Fountain View's option, in its sole
discretion, (i) Baylor shall pay Fountain View a purchase price
of 125% of the then-current SNF Enterprise Value of the SNF less
the outstanding principal balance of any Fountain View debt
assumed by Baylor in acquiring its SNF, or (ii) Baylor shall
return unexercised to Fountain View all Development Fee Warrants
granted to Baylor in connection with such SNF, and pay to
Fountain View the amount of the License and Development Fee, if
any, for such SNF paid to Baylor by Fountain View in cash and not
from the proceeds of the permanent financing for such SNF.
6.4 Regional Medical Director. During the term of this Agreement, Fountain
-------------------------
View shall employ or engage a Regional Medical Director with appropriate medico-
administrative responsibilities relating to SNFs operated by Fountain View
located in Texas (the "Texas SNFs"). The Regional Medical Director shall be
subject to Baylor's reasonable concurrence,
30
and shall be employed or engaged (whether directly or indirectly through the
Regional Medical Director's employer) pursuant to a written agreement (the
"Regional Medical Director Agreement") approved by Baylor, which will not be
unreasonably withheld. The Regional Medical Director shall serve in addition to,
and not in lieu of, the medical directors of the individual SNFs. The Regional
Medical Director shall have access to all Texas SNFs and personnel thereof. The

-----------------------------------------------------
8.1 Change of Control. If, as a result of a Change of Control under
-----------------
Section 7.1.1(a) or 7.1.1(b), Baylor elects to exercise its right under Section
18.b of the License Agreement to terminate the License Agreement in whole or in
part, and/or to require Fountain View to discontinue the use of the Baylor name
in connection with the operation of a SNF developed under this Agreement and
located in the Development Territory and on or within one (1) mile
34
of a Baylor Facility, Baylor shall be obligated to pay Fountain View the
consideration set forth in Section 7.3 for each and every SNF developed under
this Agreement and located in the Development Territory on or within one mile of
a Baylor Facility. If, as a result of a Change of Control under Section
7.1.1(a), (b) or (c), or the occurrence of an event described in Section 18.j
of the License Agreement, Baylor exercises its right under the License Agreement
to require Fountain View to discontinue use of the Baylor name in connection
with the operation of one or more SNFs developed under this Agreement and
located in the Development Territory within one mile of a Baylor Facility,
Baylor shall be obligated to pay Fountain View the consideration set forth in

under Section 7.1.1(c), or the occurrence of an event described in Section 18.j
of the License Agreement. Baylor exercises its right under the License Agreement
to require Fountain View to discontinue use of the Baylor name in connection

at Section 7.3. Baylor shall notify Fountain View within thirty (30) days of
the applicable effective date of the change of Control as to whether Baylor
shall exercise its rights under the License Agreement with respect to the SNFs
affected thereby. All payments by Baylor required under this Section 8.1 shall
be made within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the applicable Change
of Control. Fountain View shall cooperate reasonably with Baylor in connection
with the termination of any or all SNFs

In the event Baylor exercises its right under the License Agreement to
terminate the License Agreement in whole or in part, and/or to require Fountain
View to discontinue using Baylor's name in connection with one or more SNFs
developed under this Agreement and located within the Development Territory, and
the basis for Baylor's action is that each such SNF (for purposes of this
Section 8.2, each a "Section 8.2 SNF") has failed to comply with Section
3(b)(ii) or (iii) (pertaining to licensure, and Medicare and Medicaid
certification), or 3(c) of the License Agreement, or terminates the License
Agreement pursuant to Section 18.c or d. thereof, Baylor shall pay to Fountain

Market Value of a Section 8.2 SNF shall be determined as set forth in Section
5.4 hereof, except that the meet and confer process described therein shall
commence on the date Fountain View receives the notice from Baylor that the
License Agreement or Fountain View's license to use Baylor's name has been
terminated as to such Section 8.2 SNF, and shall terminate sixty (60) days
thereafter. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Baylor shall not be
required to pay Fountain View the Fair Market Value of a Section 8.2 SNF or

as lessee under a third party lease of, the Section 8.2 SNF as described in
Section 5.3.2 of this Agreement. Any payment from Baylor to Fountain View under
this Section 8.2 shall be made within ninety (90) days of the applicable
determination of Fair Market Value.

--------------------------------------------------------
In the event Baylor exercises its right under the License Agreement to
terminate the License Agreement in whole or in part, and/or to require Fountain
View to discontinue using

is that each such SNF (each a "Section 8.3 SNF") has failed to comply with
Section 3(a) or 3(b)(i) or (iv) of the License Agreement, or Baylor terminates
the License Agreement pursuant to Section 18.a, g, h or i thereof, Baylor shall
with respect to each Section 8.3 SNF:
(a) if the SNF has been in operation for at least thirty-six (36)
consecutive months, Baylor shall pay Fountain View 125% of the then-current SNF
Enterprise Value of the SNF, less the outstanding principal balance of any
Fountain View debt assumed by Baylor in acquiring the SNF.

consecutive months, at Fountain View's option, in its sole discretion, (i)
Baylor shall pay Fountain View 125% of the then-current SNF Enterprise Value of
the SNF less the outstanding principal balance of any Fountain View debt assumed
by Baylor in acquiring its SNF, or (ii) Baylor shall return unexercised to
Fountain View all Development Fee Warrants granted to Baylor in connection with
such SNF, and pay to Fountain View the amount of the License and Development

Fountain View's license to use Baylor's name has been terminated with respect
to such SNF.

-----------------------------
right under the License Agreement to terminate the License Agreement in whole or
in part, and/or to require Fountain View to discontinue using Baylor's name in
connection with one or more SNFs
37
developed under this Agreement and located within the Development Territory and
on or within one (1) mile of a Baylor Facility, Baylor also shall
simultaneously: (a) terminate, or ensure termination, of the lease for the SNF
with Baylor or a Baylor Affiliate; or (b) as between Baylor and Fountain View,
replace Fountain View as the lessee under the lease for the SNF between Fountain
View and an unrelated third Person.
8.5 Toll Period. In the event the License Agreement is terminated pursuant
-----------
to Section 18.a.iv thereof, Fountain View shall have ninety (90) days after the
effective date of termination to remove the attachment, execution of judgement
or process resulting in such termination ("Toll Period"). In the event Fountain
View removes such attachment, execution of judgement or process during the Toll
Period, the License Agreement shall be automatically reinstated, unless an event
has occurred during the Toll Period that has resulted in an automatic or
optional termination hereunder and such termination has occurred. During the
Toll Period, this Agreement shall remain in effect, and Fountain View shall
continue to operate the affected SNFs, provided, however, that any right or
obligation of Baylor hereunder to repurchase or cancel or replace Fountain View
as a lessee under a lease for a SNF shall be stayed until the expiration of the
Toll Period.
8.6 Single Obligation to Pay. In the event that more than one provision of
------------------------
this Agreement obligates Baylor to make a payment to Fountain View for a SNF
developed in connection with Baylor's (a) terminating a lease between Fountain
View and Baylor or a Baylor Affiliate; or (b) replacing Fountain View as the
lessee under the lease between Fountain View and a third party and taking over

or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, claims with
respect to breach of contract, tort, obligation of good faith and fair dealing
and fiduciary duties, or any other related claim or cause of action which may

regulatory or common law, then, upon notice by any party to the other parties
(an "Arbitration Notice") and to the Dallas, Texas office of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA"), the controversy or dispute shall be submitted
to a sole arbitrator who is independent and impartial, for binding arbitration
in Dallas, Texas, in accordance with AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules (the
"Rules") then in effect, as modified or supplemented hereby. The parties agree
that they will faithfully observe this Agreement and the Rules and that they
will abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The arbitration
shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1-16 (or by
the same principles enunciated by such Act in the event it may not be
technically applicable), to the extent that the such Act addresses matters not
addressed in this Agreement or the Rules. The award or judgment of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties and judgment upon the award
or judgment of the arbitrator may be entered and enforced by any court having
jurisdiction. If any party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership or
other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States of America, any
state or commonwealth or any other nation or political subdivision thereof,
then,
47
to the extent permitted or not prohibited by applicable law, any factual or
substantive legal issues arising in or during the pendency of any such
proceeding shall be subject to all of the foregoing mandatory arbitration
provisions and shall be resolved in accordance therewith. The agreements
contained herein have been given for valuable consideration, are coupled with an
interest and are not intended to be executory contracts. The fees and expenses
of the arbitrator will be shared equitably (as determined by the arbitrator) by
all parties engaged in the dispute or controversy.
12.7.2 Selection of Arbitrator. Promptly after the Arbitration Notice
-----------------------
is given, AAA will select five (5) possible arbitrators, to whom AAA will give
the identities of the parties and the general nature of the controversy. If any
of those arbitrators disqualifies himself or declines to serve, AAA shall
continue to designate potential arbitrators until the parties have five to
select from. After the panel of five potential arbitrators has been completed, a
summary of the background of each of the potential arbitrators will be given to
each of the parties, and the parties will have a period of ten (10) days after
receiving the summaries in which to attempt to agree upon the arbitrator to
conduct the arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator,
then one of the parties shall notify AAA and the other party, and within five
(5) days from such notice each party shall strike two names from the list and
advise AAA of the two names stricken. After expiration of the strike period, if
all but one candidate has been stricken the remaining one will be the
arbitrator, but, if two or more have not been stricken, AAA shall select the
arbitrator from one of those not stricken. The decision of AAA with respect to
the selection of the arbitrator will be final and binding in such case.
12.7.3 No Litigation. No litigation or other proceeding may ever be
-------------
instituted at any time in any court or before any administrative agency or body
for the purpose of adjudicating, interpreting or enforcing any of the rights or
obligations of the parties hereto
48
or any rights or obligations relating to the subject matter hereof, whether or
not covered by the express terms of this Agreement, or for the purpose of
adjudicating a breach or determination of the validity of this Agreement, or for
the purpose of appealing any decision of an arbitrator, except a proceeding
instituted (i) for the purpose of having the award or judgment of an arbitrator
entered and enforced Or (ii) to seek an injunction or restraining order (but not
damages in connection therewith) in circumstances where such relief is
available. No punitive, exemplary or consequential damages may ever be awarded
by the arbitrator or anyone else, and each of the parties hereby waives any and
all rights to make, claim or recover any such damages.
12.7.4 Arbitration Hearing. Within ten (10) days after the selection
-------------------
of the arbitrator, the parties and their counsel will appear before the
arbitrator at a place and time designated by the arbitrator for the purpose of
each party making a one hour or less presentation and summary of the case.
Thereafter, the arbitrator will set dates and times for additional hearings in
accordance with the Rules until the proceeding is concluded. The desire and goal
of the parties is, and the arbitrator will be advised that this goal should be,
to conduct and conclude the arbitration proceeding as expeditiously as possible.
If any party or his counsel fails to appear at any hearing, the arbitrator shall
be entitled to reach a decision based on the evidence which has been presented
to him by the parties who did appear.
12.7.5 Law Governing Arbitration. If the parties have not selected the
-------------------------
governing law by agreement, the arbitrator shall make a decision about the
governing law or laws, and his judgment with respect thereto shall be binding.
12.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
----------------
the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral
and written understandings and agreements between the Parties with respect to

provided that Fountain View may assign its rights and delegate its duties and
52
obligations under this Agreement to a wholly owned Person that executes an
agreement inuring to the benefit of Baylor pursuant to which such Person agrees
to be bound by all of the terms hereof, and Fountain View and such Person agree
to be jointly and severally liable and responsible for the performance of all of
the duties and obligations of Fountain View hereunder: and provided, further,

(b) the Target is not wholly owned or majority owned by another Person (unless
after giving effect to such merger or consolidation such other Person no longer

of Control has occurred, then, after such merger or consolidation, Section
7.1.1(a) shall continue to be the applicable section and the fact that Fountain
View becomes a company whose shares are publicly traded by virtue of the merger

---------------------------------
THIS SERVICE XXXX SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT (hereinafter, the "AGREEMENT") is
entered into this 4th day of May, 1998, by and between Baylor Health Care System
(hereinafter, "BHCS"), a Texas non-profit corporation, with its principal office
in Dallas, Texas and Fountain View, Inc. (hereinafter, "FOUNTAIN VIEW"), a
Delaware corporation, having a place of business at 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (hereinafter BHCS and Fountain View are
collectively called the "Parties").
R E C I T A L S:
- - - - - - - -
Pursuant to the terms of a Settlement Agreement dated May 15, 1990, (such
Agreement, as the same may be modified or supplemented by additional license
agreements or other agreements to include additional uses with the name "Baylor"
pursuant to the terms of Section 18 thereof and Section 7 hereof, being herein
called the "BAYLOR UNIVERSITY LICENSE") between BHCS, and Baylor University (the
"LICENSOR"), BHCS, as Licensee, has the right to use the xxxx(s) identified on
Exhibit A attached hereto, except that BHCS is the owner of the right to use the
xxxx known as the "Baylor Flame" referred to on Exhibit A (the xxxx(s)
identified on Exhibit A and any other use of the name "Baylor" which is
approved as an additional use by BHCS by Licensor pursuant to the Baylor
University License and approved by BHCS for use by Fountain View pursuant to the
terms hereof are herein collectively called the "MARKS" and individually each
called a "XXXX"). A copy of the May 15, 1990 Settlement Agreement has been
supplied to Fountain View.
The Parties are contemporaneously herewith executing an Agreement for
Development and Operation of Skilled Nursing Facilities (as the same may be
amended from to time, herein called the "DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT") for the purpose
of setting forth certain rights and obligations of the Parties relating to the
development and operation of independently licensed skilled nursing facilities
convenient to BHCS hospitals (the skilled nursing facilities or other health-
care facilities developed and built pursuant to the Development Agreement with
respect to which BHCS specifically grants the right to use the name "Baylor"
being herein called the "FACILITIES").
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements,
covenants and provisions contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the
sufficiency of all of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as
follows:
1. License. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Baylor University
--------
License, BHCS hereby grants to Fountain View a non-exclusive, non-
transferable (except as expressly provided herein), right to use the Marks
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in conjunction
with the development and management by Fountain View of the Facilities.
This License includes federal, state, and common law rights, during the
term of this Agreement. Such management by Fountain View may be performed
directly by Fountain View or may be effected through direct everyday
control of other business entities by Fountain View.
________________________________________________________________________________
700052.07 SERVICE XXXX SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT
PAGE 1 OF 14 BAYLOR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO FOUNTAIN VIEW
Fountain View shall not sublicense the Marks to any other Entity nor
use the Marks in conjunction with any facilities or business
operations other than the Facilities.
2. Royalties. The consideration for the sublicense and rights granted
---------
hereunder is included within the License and Development Fee payable
to BHCS pursuant to the Development Agreement.
3. Quality of Services. Because of Fountain View's history of providing
-------------------
high quality products and services, BHCS trusts and relies on Fountain
View to maintain such high quality. Fountain View agrees that it will
at all time offer high quality services in the Facilities using the
Marks.
a. If BHCS determines that the quality of any or all of the services
or products being offered, provided or sold in one or more
Facilities using any Xxxx is unacceptable to BHCS, it will have
the right to specifically notify Fountain View in writing of the
changes which will be necessary to attain an acceptable level of
quality, and, thereafter, BHCS will follow the processes set
forth in Article VI of the Development Agreement. If BHCS
purchases the subject Facility or Facilities pursuant to Article
VI of the Development Agreement, BHCS shall be entitled to
terminate this Agreement and the obligations of BHCS and the
rights of Fountain View hereunder with respect to such Facility
or Facilities.
x. Xxxxxxxx View shall be deemed to be in compliance with the
foregoing provisions and its services and the products used or
sold by it shall be deemed to be at an acceptable level of
quality so long as each of the following is complied with:
x. Xxxxxxxx View uses commercially reasonable efforts to have
each Facility accredited by the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (or a similar
body with like stature) as soon as practicable and
thereafter maintains such accreditation so long as it is
commercially reasonable to maintain it;
ii. Fountain View obtains and maintains all necessary licenses,
operating permits or certificates of authority required by
the State of Texas or any other governmental authority which
are necessary for Fountain View to have the continuing right
to operate each Facility;
iii. The Facilities are certified to provide services to Medicare
and Medicaid patients; and
iv. The standards for granting clinical privileges to physicians
at the Facilities are reasonably comparable to those at
hospitals in BHCS's system.
________________________________________________________________________________
SERVICE XXXX SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT
PAGE 2 OF 14 BAYLOR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO FOUNTAIN VIEW
c. In addition to the foregoing, with respect to the Facilities:
x. Xxxxxxxx View will adopt, maintain and follow a mission statement
and value statements for service to patients and to the community
which are comparable to those of hospitals in BHCS's system;
ii. Abortion on demand will not be provided; and
iii. The serving of alcoholic beverages at any Facility will not be
permitted except to the extent prescribed by a physician with
clinical privileges at the Facility in question; provided that,
so long as Fountain View maintains written policies which are
communicated on a regular basis to its employees and to
physicians and others utilizing each Facility and which Fountain
View uses commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, then
Fountain View will not be deemed to be in breach of this covenant
by virtue of a violation of such policies by someone without the
prior knowledge, or acquiescence of senior management.
4. Use of the Marks. Prior to any use or distribution of any material (or any
----------------
significant modifications of previously approved materials) bearing any of
the Marks, Fountain View shall provide BHCS with a description of the
proposed manner of use and samples of all goods, literature, brochures,
signs, stationery, presentations, correspondence and advertising material
prepared by Fountain View bearing the Marks (collectively, "MATERIALS") and
shall promptly provide such additional information with respect thereto as
BHCS may reasonably request. Any proposed uses or materials submitted for
approval must be accompanied by a notice specifically referring to this
Agreement and to this paragraph and specifically advising BHCS of the time
period stated herein. BHCS shall have a period of 2l days after receipt of
such materials accompanied by the proper notice in which to reject the
sample and the proposed use. If BHCS requests additional information, the
21-day period will be extended by the number of days between the day BHCS
requests such additional information and the day the additional information
is received by BHCS. In the absence of rejection within such 21-day period,
or upon earlier written acceptance, Fountain View may deem the sample
approved. When using the Marks under this Agreement, Fountain View
undertakes to comply in all material respects with all laws pertaining to
trademarks in force at any time within the United States, including,
without limitation, compliance with marking requirements.
5. Inspection. Fountain View will permit duly authorized representatives of
----------
BHCS to inspect the premises of Fountain View and any or all of the
Facilities at all reasonable times, for the purposes of ascertaining or
determining compliance with the terms hereof. Upon the request of BHCS,
Fountain View will cause the officers, employees, agents, attorneys,
contractors and accountants of Fountain View and of each of its
subsidiaries to meet with representatives of BHCS, cooperative fully with
such representatives and respond to all questions and inquiries of such
representatives with respect to the operation of the Facilities and the use
of the Marks.

BHCS, and Fountain View disclaims any right or interest therein or to
the goodwill derived therefrom.

the use of the Marks, Fountain View shall not in any manner represent

Licensor and BHCS.

its Affiliates, employees or agents and which are changes,

and/or Licensor, (ii) that Fountain View will, and will cause its
Affiliates, employees and agents to, execute all such assignments,
trademark or service xxxx applications and other documents and
pleadings that may be requested by BHCS or Licensor to confirm the
foregoing, and (iii) that Fountain View hereby appoints BHCS as its
attorney-in-fact to execute all such assignments, applications and
other documents for and on behalf of Fountain View. As used in this
Agreement, (A) "AFFILIATE" means any person or Entity which, directly
or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control

Baylor University License, before Fountain View or BHCS can undertake any
use of the name other than the precise xxxx(s) shown on Exhibit "A" hereto
(a "NEW USE"), consent must be obtained from Licensor. Whenever Fountain
View desires to undertake a New Use, it will submit the details of the

same to Licensor, and, if Licensor approves such New Use, the same will be
added to Exhibit "A" hereto by supplement executed by Fountain View and
BHCS and become a "Xxxx" hereunder for all purposes, with such
modifications to the terms hereof with respect to such New Use as Licensor
may require. Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is a form of Trademark License
Agreement which Licensor has required BHCS to execute in the past, and BHCS

indemnify, defend and hold harmless BHCS and Licensor, and each of their
officers, employees, agents, trustees and directors from and against any
and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities,
actions, suits and damages, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney fees and costs, which may be asserted against BHCS or Licensor or
any of their officers, employees, agents, trustees and directors, or which
any of them shall suffer or incur, which arise out of, result from or
relate to the provision of services and/or the use or sale of products in
Facilities using the Marks.
10. Partnership; Agency. This Agreement is not intended to create and may not

11. Assignments; Sublicenses. Fountain View shall not assign, sublicense or
------------------------
delegate any rights or obligations under this Agreement either by contract,
assignment, sublicense or sale of assets or by operation of law by virtue
of a merger, consolidation or conversion in which Fountain View is not the
survivor, a liquidation, a dissolution or another similar transaction;
provided that Fountain View may assign its rights and delegate its duties
and obligations under this Agreement to a wholly owned Subsidiary if
Fountain View and such Subsidiary execute an agreement inuring to the
benefit of BHCS and Licensor pursuant to which such Subsidiary agrees to be
bound by all of the terms hereof and Fountain View and such Subsidiary
agree to be jointly and severally liable and responsible for the
performance of all of the duties and obligations of Fountain View

majority or wholly owned subsidiary of another Entity (unless, after giving
effect to such merger or consolidation such other Entity no longer owns
more than 20% of the survivor of the merger or consolidation (or such

of subparagraph B of the definition of "Change of Control" in Section 18
hereof), (c) promptly after such merger or consolidation, the name of the

after such merger or consolidation, subparagraph A will continue to be the
applicable subparagraph and the fact that Fountain View becomes a company

Agreement or in other documents shall not be deemed to be an implicit or
explicit modification of the foregoing prohibition. As used herein, "WHOLLY

a result thereof..

700052.07 SERVICE XXXX SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT
PAGE 11 OF 14 BAYLOR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO FOUNTAIN VIEW
20. Arbitration.
-----------
a. Binding Arbitration. In the event of a dispute arising out of or
-------------------
relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, claims with
respect to breach of contract, tort, obligation of good faith and fair
dealing and fiduciary duties, then, upon notice by any Party to the
other parties (an "Arbitration Notice") and to the Dallas, Texas
office of American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (which is presently
13455 Xxxx Road, 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000
[telephone (000) 000-0000); facsimile (000) 000-0000), the controversy
or dispute shall be submitted to a sole arbitrator who is independent
and impartial, for binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, in accordance
with AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "RULES") then in effect
as modified or supplemented hereby. The parties agree that they will
faithfully observe this Agreement and the Rules and that they will
abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The
arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
Section 1-16 (or by the same principles enunciated by such Act in the
event it may not be technically applicable), to the extent that such
Act addresses matters not addressed in this Agreement or the Rules.
The award or judgment of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on
all parties and judgment upon the award or judgment of the arbitrator
may be entered and enforced by any court having jurisdiction. If any
Party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership or other
similar proceeding under the laws of the United States of America, any
state or commonwealth or any other nation or political subdivision
thereof, then, to the extent permitted or not prohibited by applicable
law, any factual or substantive legal issues arising in or during the
pendency of any such proceeding shall be subject to all of the
foregoing mandatory arbitration provisions and shall be resolved in
accordance therewith. The agreements contained herein have been given
for valuable consideration, are coupled with an interest and are not
intended to be executory contracts. The fees and expenses of the
arbitrator will be shared equitably (as determined by the arbitrator)
by all parties engaged in the dispute or controversy.
b. Selection of Arbitrator. Promptly after the Arbitration Notice is
-----------------------
given, AAA will select five (5) possible arbitrators, to whom AAA will
give the identities of the parties and the general nature of the
controversy. If any of those arbitrators disqualifies himself or
declines to serve, AAA shall continue to designate potential
arbitrators until the parties have five to select from. After the
panel of five potential arbitrators has been completed, a summary of
the background of each of the potential arbitrators will be given to
each of the parties, and the parties will have a period of 10 days
after receiving the summaries in which to attempt to agree upon the
arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. If the parties are unable to
agree upon an arbitrator, then one of the parties shall notify AAA and
the other Party, and, within five days from such notice, each Party
shall strike two names from the list and advise AAA of the two names
stricken. After expiration of the strike period, if all but one
candidate has been stricken, the remaining one will be the arbitrator,
but, if two or more have not been stricken, AAA shall select the
arbitrator from one of those not stricken. The decision
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
700052.07 SERVICE XXXX SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT
PAGE 12 OF 14 BAYLOR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO FOUNTAIN VIEW
of AAA with respect to the selection of the arbitrator will be final
and binding in such case.
c. No Litigation: No litigation or other proceeding may ever be
-------------
instituted at any time in any court or before any administrative
agency or body for the purpose of adjudicating, interpreting or
enforcing any of the rights or obligations of the parties hereto or
any rights or obligations relating to the subject matter hereof;
whether or not covered by the express terms of this Agreement, or for
the purpose of adjudicating a breach or determination of the validity
of this Agreement, or for the purpose of appealing any decision of an
arbitrator, except a proceeding instituted (i) for the purpose of
having the award or judgment of an arbitrator entered and enforced or
(ii) to seek an injunction or restraining order (but not damages in
connection therewith) in circumstances where such relief is available.
No punitive, exemplary or consequential damages may ever be awarded by
the arbitrator or anyone else, and each of the parties hereby waives
any and all rights to make, claim or recover any such damages.
d. Arbitration Hearing. Within 10 days after the selection of the
-------------------
arbitrator, the parties and their counsel will appear before the
arbitrator at a place and time designated by the arbitrator for the
purpose of each Party making a one hour or less presentation and
summary of the case. Thereafter, the arbitrator will set dates and
times for additional hearings in accordance with the Rules until the
proceeding is concluded. The desire and goal of the parties is, and
the arbitrator will be advised that his goal should be, to conduct and
conclude the arbitration proceeding as expeditiously as possible. If
any Party or his counsel fails to appear at any hearing, the
arbitrator shall be entitled to reach a decision based on the evidence
which has been presented to him by the parties who did appear.
e. Law Governing Arbitration. If the parties have not selected the
-------------------------
governing law by agreement, the arbitrator shall make a decision about
the governing law or laws, and his judgment with respect thereto shall
be binding.

upon such notice, it shall make such changes within a reasonable period of time,
and shall thereafter maintain an acceptable level of quality.
3.3 BAYLOR shall have the right to ascertain whether the products and
services offered or sold under this License Agreement are of an acceptable level
of quality, and LICENSEE shall cooperate in BAYLOR's exercise of this right.

or promotional material bearing any xxxx licensed hereunder, furnish to BAYLOR,
free of cost, for its approval, a sample of each product, packaging or
promotional material. BAYLOR has two weeks from receipt of each such sample in

use it. In absence of rejection within said two week period, or upon earlier
written acceptance, LICENSEE may deem the sample approved by BAYLOR.

in accordance with accepted trademark practice.
