Co-Chairman, Special Committee
of Board of Directors of
Manor Care, Inc.
c/o C. R. Bard, Inc.

Murray Hill, NJ 07974
Dear Bill:
As we discussed in our recent conversations, in light of my
understanding that a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Manor
Care, Inc. (the "Company") is considering a buyout proposal for the
Company, I am writing to express my interest in pursuing a possible
recapitalization, leveraged buyout or similar transaction with the Company.
I expect such a transaction would be at a share price significantly in
excess of the current price. I am speaking with several sources of equity
and/or debt financing to obtain the necessary funds for such a transaction.
I expect that my family members would participate in the transaction.
As I mentioned, I have retained Banc of America Securities LLC and
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP to provide financial and legal
advice regarding this transaction. My equity/debt financing sources will,
of course, need to have fair access to non-public information regarding the
Company. I would be willing to sign a customary and mutually acceptable
confidentiality agreement before you furnish any such non-public
information.
Once my financing sources and I have been provided with the
opportunity to review the requested information, we will be in a
position to move promptly in presenting a definitive proposal to the Special
Committee.
I look forward to working with the Special Committee and its
advisors on a constructive basis to obtain the best possible transaction
for the Company and its shareholders.
This letter represents an expression of interest and is not
intended to be binding or create any obligation with respect to a
transaction.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Stewart Bainum, Jr.
