Debtor. Upon such delivery, such Supporting Party shall immediately thereafter send a copy of such Joinder Agreement to all other Supporting Parties.

By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of each such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, while the Bankruptcy Case is pending, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

INTRODUCTION

HCR ManorCare, Inc. (the “Debtor”) hereby proposes the following first amended plan of reorganization for the Debtor’s reorganization case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code for the resolution of the outstanding Claims against and Interests in the Debtor. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this paragraph have the meanings assigned to them in Article I. The classification and treatment of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor are set forth in Article II and Article III. The Debtor is the proponent of this Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement, distributed contemporaneously herewith, for a discussion of the Debtor’s history, business, properties and operations, projections for those operations, risk factors, a summary and analysis of this Plan, and related matters.

ARTICLE I:

DEFINED TERMS AND RULES OF INTERPRETATION

A. Defined Terms. As used in this Plan, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in this Article I. Any term that is not otherwise defined herein, but that is used in the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, shall have the meaning given to that term in the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, as applicable.

1.1 Administrative Expense Claim means a Claim for costs and expenses of administration of the Chapter 11 Case arising after the Petition Date and prior to the Effective Date under sections 328, 330, 363, 364(c)(1), 365, 503(b), 507(a)(2), or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, (a) any actual and necessary costs and expenses of preserving the Estate and operating the businesses of the Debtor after the Petition Date and Claims of governmental units for taxes (including tax audit Claims) related to tax years commencing after the Petition Date, but excluding Claims related to tax periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Petition Date; (b) any Professional Fee Claim, to the extent Allowed by Final Order under sections 328, 330, 331 or 503 of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) with the exception of section 507(b) Claims, any indebtedness or obligations incurred or assumed by the Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case; (d) any cash payment required to be made under this Plan and payments to cure a default under an Executory Contract that has been or will be assumed by the Debtor; or (e) any Quarterly Fees; provided, however, in connection with the Alternative Transaction, no QCP Claim (including the Agreed Deferred Rent Obligation if the Closing of the Alternative Transaction occurs) shall be treated as an Administrative Expense Claim and all QCP Claims shall be treated only as provided in Section 3.2.4(c)(i).

1.2 Affiliate has the meaning assigned to such term in section 101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

1.3 Agreed Deferred Rent Obligation means, for purposes of the Alternative Transaction only, an obligation of the Debtor for deferred rent in the amount of $440,190,183.

1.4 Allowed means, with respect to a Claim or Interest, such Claim or Equity Interest or any portion thereof that the Debtor has assented to the validity of, and to which the Plan Sponsor has not objected, or that has been (a) allowed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) allowed pursuant to the terms of the Plan, (c) following the Effective Date, allowed by agreement between the Holder of such Claim, on one hand, and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, on the other hand, or (d)

allowed by an order of a court in which such Claim could have been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced; provided, however, that an Administrative Expense Claim, other than Professional Fee Claim, incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of its business during the Chapter 11 Case, or assumed by the Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case, may be Allowed if the Debtor assents to the validity of such Claim; provided, further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain all Causes of Action and defenses with respect to Allowed Claims that are Reinstated or otherwise Unimpaired pursuant to the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Expense Claims not paid prior to the Effective Date).

1.5 Allowed Claim or Interest means a Claim or Interest in a particular Class or of a particular type that is also an Allowed Claim or Interest. For example, an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim is an Administrative Expense Claim that is also an Allowed Claim.

1.6 Alternative Master Lease has the meaning given to such term in the Alternative Plan Sponsor Agreement. The form of Alternative Master Lease shall be filed with the Plan Supplement. A term sheet describing the terms of the Alternative Master Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.7 Alternative Plan Sponsor Agreement means the Plan Sponsor Agreement among the Debtor, QCP, ProMedica Health System, Inc., ProMedica, and Meerkat I LLC, dated as of April 25, 2018, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, and including all schedules and exhibits thereto. A copy of the Alternative Plan Sponsor Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

1.9 Alternative Transaction shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Article V hereof.

6.1. Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts. On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts of the Debtor will be deemed assumed in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) upon the Plan Sponsor’s prior written consent or request, is subject to a motion to reject such Executory Contract filed prior to the Effective Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions and the rejection of any Executory Contract for which a motion to reject has been filed, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Article VI shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption. Any motions to assume or reject Executory Contracts pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract, including any “change of control” provision, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.

6.2. No Cure Obligations. There are no anticipated cure obligations with respect to any Executory Contract to which the Debtor is a party. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments shall be required to cure any defaults of the Debtor existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to any Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Plan. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that (i) each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate, and (ii) the requirements of section 365(b)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed satisfied.

6.3. Insurance Policies and Agreements. Insurance policies issued to, or insurance agreements entered into by, the Debtor prior to the Petition Date (including, without limitation, any policies covering directors’ or officers’ conduct) shall continue in effect after the Effective Date. To the extent that such insurance policies or agreements are considered to be Executory Contracts, this Plan shall constitute a motion to assume or ratify such insurance policies and agreements, and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments shall be required to cure any defaults of the Debtor existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

ARTICLE VII:

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1. Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date. Unless the Holder of an Allowed Claim and the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor agree to a different date, and except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of each Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date shall be made as set forth in the provisions of the Plan governing the treatment of such Claim or as soon thereafter as practicable.

7.2. Distributions on Account of Claims that Become Allowed after the Effective Date. Unless the Holder of a Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date and the Reorganized Debtor agrees to a different date, and except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions on account of Claims that become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made on the later of (a) the date such Claim becomes Allowed and (b) as set forth in the provisions of the Plan governing the treatment of such Claim or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

7.3. Distributions by Reorganized Debtor. Other than as specifically set forth in this Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall make, or cause to be made, all distributions required to be made under this Plan.

7.4. Means of Cash Payment. Payments of Cash made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtor, by (a) checks drawn on or (b) wire transfers from a bank selected by the Reorganized Debtor. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of the Reorganized Debtor, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

7.5. Withholding and Reporting Requirements. In connection with this Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Reorganized Debtor shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes or establishing such other mechanisms that the Reorganized Debtor believes are reasonable and appropriate. All persons holding Claims or Interests shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes. Each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution pursuant to this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. No distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtor for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

7.6. Compliance Matters. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, reserves the right to allocate and distribute all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, Liens and similar encumbrances.

7.7. Setoff and Recoupment. The Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to sections 553 and/or 558 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy laws, but shall not be required to, set off and/or recoup against any Claim the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim, or claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to assert such rights of setoff and/or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder

shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may assert against any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

7.8. Reinstated Claims. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing shall affect, diminish or impair the Debtor’s or the Reorganized Debtor’s rights and defenses, both legal and equitable, with respect to any Reinstated Claim, including, but not limited to, legal and equitable rights of setoff and/or recoupment against the Holders of any Reinstated Claims; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Credit Facility Claims or Intercompany Note Claims, each of which is Allowed in full under this Plan without defenses, counterclaims, setoff or recoupment. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Unimpaired Claim in Classes 1, 2, 5 (other than a Claim in Class 5 arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract) and, solely in the event the Closing of the Alternative Transaction occurs, Class 7, not paid in full in Cash by the Debtor on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable shall constitute a Reinstated Claim.

7.9. Undeliverable or Non-Negotiated Distributions. If any distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to the applicable Holder shall be made unless and until the Reorganized Debtor is notified in writing of such Holder’s then-current address, at which time the undelivered distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest or dividends. All undeliverable distributions under the Plan that remain unclaimed for one year after attempted distribution shall indefeasibly revert to the Reorganized Debtor. Upon such reversion, the relevant Allowed Claim (and any Claim on account of missed distributions) shall be automatically discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Checks issued on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 180 calendar days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check must be made directly and in writing to the Reorganized Debtor by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim within the 180-calendar-day period. After such date, the relevant Allowed Claim (and any Claim for reissuance of the original check) shall be deemed undeliverable as of the date of the original issuance of the check and shall indefeasibly revert to the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

7.10. Claims Paid by Third Parties. To the extent a Holder receives a distribution on account of a Claim and also receives payment from a party that is not the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within thirty calendar days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of the Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

Except as expressly provided otherwise in the Plan, all agreements, instruments and other documents filed in connection with this Plan shall be given full force and effect, and shall bind all parties referred to therein as of the Effective Date, whether or not such agreements are actually issued, delivered or recorded on the Effective Date or thereafter and whether or not a party has actually executed such agreement.

9.2. Discharge.

9.2.1 Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order including with respect to any Claims that are Reinstated under this Plan, all consideration distributed under this Plan shall be in exchange for all Claims and Interests of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, against the Debtor or its Estate, assets, properties or interest in property, and shall constitute a complete satisfaction and settlement of all Claims and Interests other than Reinstated Claims, in each case regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to this Plan on account of such Claims and Interests. On the Effective Date, except for Reinstated Claims, the Debtor shall be deemed discharged and released under section

1141(d)(l)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims and Interests, including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 510(b) Claims, General Unsecured Claims, and Interests in the Debtor.

In accordance with the foregoing, except as expressly provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination, as of the Effective Date, of the discharge of all non-Reinstated Claims or other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies, causes of action or liabilities, pursuant to sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such discharge shall void and extinguish any judgment obtained against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its respective assets, property and Estate at any time, to the extent such judgment is related to a discharged Claim, debt, liability or Interest. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Persons or Entities who have held, hold or may hold Claims or Interests that arose prior to the Effective Date and all other parties-in-interest, along with their respective present or former employees, agents, officers, directors, principals, representatives and Affiliates, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from (i) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind with respect to any such Claim (including a Section 510(b) Claim) against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtor or property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to the Plan, (ii) the enforcement, attachment, collection or recovery by any manner or means of any judgment, award, decree or order against the Reorganized Debtor or property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to this Plan, (iii) creating, perfecting or enforcing any Lien or encumbrance of any kind against the Reorganized Debtor or against the property or interests in property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to this Plan or (iv) asserting any right of setoff or subrogation of any kind against any obligation due from the Reorganized Debtor or against the property or interests in property of the Reorganized Debtor, with respect to any such Claim or Interest. Such injunction shall extend to any successors or assignees of the Reorganized Debtor and their respective properties and interest in properties.

9.3. Releases by the Debtor. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, each of the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor on its own behalf and as a representative of its respective Estate, shall, and shall be deemed to,

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the scope of discharge of all Claims and Interests arising prior to the Effective Date under sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, or limit the Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s rights under section

525 of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing in the Confirmation Order or this Plan shall affect any setoff or recoupment rights of any Governmental Unit.
