The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3 ARRANGEMENT USED TO ESTABLISH THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL'S COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION IS PAID BY WESTMINSTER-CANTERBURY ON CHESAPEAKE BAY, A RELATED ORAGNIZATION. THE POLICY OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO SET COMPENSATION AT MARKET PAY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES WHO ARE FULLY COMPETENT IN THEIR POSITIONS. MARKET PAY IS DETERMINED BY INDEPENDENT, OUTSIDE EXPERTS. ADDITIONALLY, A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE PRESIDENT AND CEO'S COMPENSATION IS ATRISK PAY LINKED TO SPECIFIC GOALS AND RESULTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE BOARD PROVIDES A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP) FOR THE CEO CONTINGENT IN PART UPON LONGEVITY OF EMPLOYMENT TO ENCOURAGE RETENTION. TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT AND CEO, THE BOARD'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, ACTING AS A PERSONNEL COMMITTEE, ENGAGES AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT WHO SPECIALIZES IN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. THE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT PROVIDES THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE COMPENSATION DATA REPRESENTING COMPARABLE POSITIONS IN ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR INDUSTRIES WITH SIMILAR REVENUE AND BUDGET SIZE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE USES THIS INFORMATION AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT AS THE BASIS FOR SETTING COMPENSATION.

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN

INCLUDED IN THE COMPENSATION OF J. BENJAMIN UNKLE, JR. IS $71,152 FROM A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP). FOR DETAILS OF HOW THE ORGANIZATION SETS COMPENSATION, PLEASE SEE THE DESCRIPTION IN THE NOTE FOR PART I, LINE 3.

SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(II)

IN THE PRIOR YEAR, THE CEO'S COMPENSATION EXCEEDED HISTORICAL AMOUNTS DUE TO THE VESTING OF A RETENTION BONUS. THIS BONUS WAS STRATEGICALLY IMPLEMENTED TO SAFEGUARD THE ORGANIZATION DURING A CRITICAL PHASE OF EXPANSION, WHICH INVOLVED OVER $400 MILLION IN BORROWING AND INVESTMENT. GIVEN THE CEO'S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE LEADING LARGE, MULTICAMPUS SENIOR LIVING OPERATIONS AND THE INTEREST EXPRESSED BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN RECRUITING FOR SIMILAR ROLES, RETAINING THIS LEADERSHIP WAS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL TO ENSURING THE SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S GROWTH INITIATIVES. THE RETENTION BONUS DETAILS WERE EVALUATED FOR MARKET COMPETITIVENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPENSATION REVIEW POLICY AND RECEIVED BOARD APPROVAL.
