Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 8, 2005, VistaCare, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement with Endowment Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Long Drive LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Endowment Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Endowment Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Endowment Parties” and, together with their affiliates and associates, the “Endowment Entities”). As of February 8, 2005, the Endowment Parties beneficially own 2,387,635 shares of the Company’s common stock representing approximately 14.73% of the voting power of the Company.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors has agreed to permit one or more of the Endowment Entities to acquire up to 22.5% of the Company’s common stock without the Endowment Entities becoming an “Acquiring Person” for purposes of the Rights Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2004, between the Company and EquiServe Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent. In consideration for the rights granted by the Company to the Endowment Entities under the Agreement, the Endowment Parties have granted to the Company’s current Board of Directors an irrevocable proxy to vote those shares of the Company’s capital stock held by the Endowment Entities representing 15% or more of the voting power of the Company (the “Excess Securities”) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company at any meeting thereof. Furthermore, the Endowment Parties have covenanted that neither they, nor any of their respective affiliates, associates, officers, directors or agents will, either alone or in concert with others: (1) solicit, publicly encourage or seek to obtain, or cause, solicit, encourage or induce any other person or entity to solicit or seek to obtain, a proxy or other authority to vote with respect to any securities of the Company; or (2) seek to change the control of the Company or change the corporate governance, management or composition of the Board of Directors of the Company either alone or in concert with any other participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect until the later of (i) a date which is two years from the date of the Agreement or (ii) the date on which the Endowment Entities cease to own any Excess Securities. In addition, the Endowment Parties have jointly and severally represented to the Company that none of them has entered, or while in possession of any Excess Securities will enter, into any contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding with any other person or entity (other than the Company or other Endowment Entities) with respect to the acquisition, disposition or voting of the Company’s securities or with respect to the change or influence of the control, or the change of the management, corporate governance or composition of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.45 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement attached hereto.
