foregoing transaction to provide the financial support as set
forth above, the Company grants an option to Purchaser (or his
assignee or designee) to acquire all of the membership
interests of a limited liability company (the `LLC') that the
Company will form to acquire the real estate (owned in fee) in
the Xxxxx Transaction (i.e. Western Medical Center - Santa
Xxx, Western Medical Center - Anaheim and Coastal Community
Hospital and the medical office buildings, but not the leased
Xxxxxxx Hospital and medical office building) for the price of
$5,000,000. The LLC will acquire the real estate free and
clear of all liens of all liens and encumbrances except only
those exceptions to title agreed to in the Xxxxx Transaction
and the real estate loan the Company will incur in connection
with the closing of the Xxxxx Transaction. The Company and
Purchaser agree to cooperate in negotiating with Company's
lenders to organize the financing in a manner which permits
the LLC to acquire the real property subject to the real
estate loan while the Company will remain liable for the
working capital loan. Purchaser may exercise the option to
acquire the LLC membership interests at any time commencing
with the closing of the Xxxxx Transaction and for a period of
five years thereafter. The option shall be in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D.
(b) The LLC shall lease the real property back to the
Company on a triple net lease at a fair market value rental
which shall not be less than a 2.5% margin over the financing
cost. The term of the lease shall be 15 years, with two 5-year
renewal options.
(c) Purchaser or his designee shall be named the sole
manager of the LLC if and when Purchaser exercises the option
to acquire at least a majority interest in the LLC. As
described in the Purchase Option Agreement dated November 16,
2004, the Company has also granted to Xxxx X. Xxxx, M.D. or
his assignees or designees (the `SHAH GROUP') options to
acquire up to (i) 49% of the membership interests in the LLC
for aggregate consideration of $2,500,000 and (ii) 50,000,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock for $0.30 per share. Shah
Group exercises this option, at least $714,285.74 shall be
paid by the Shah Group concurrently with the closing of the
Xxxxx Transaction, in which case the Shah Group will own 14%
of the membership interests of the LLC, and Purchaser's option
shall be reduced as described in Exhibit D."
3. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 1.7. Section 1.7 of the Purchase Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"1.7 PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHT TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SHARES.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions specified in
this Section 1.7, the Company hereby grants to Purchaser a
right of first refusal with respect to future sales by the
Company of its equity securities or securities convertible
into or exercisable for equity securities, where issuance of
those securities will result in a dilution of Purchaser's
as-converted equity position to less than 75% of the Common
Stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. Each time the
Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities
convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class
of the Company's equity securities (the "NEW SHARES"), the
Company shall first make an offer to Purchaser of such portion
of the New Shares which equals the proportion that all
securities in the Company held by to Purchaser, on an
as-converted basis, bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis plus the
New Shares (the "PRO RATA SHARE"). The closing of the sale of
the Pro Rata Share shall occur simultaneously with the sale of
the New Shares to other investors.
2
(b) The right of first refusal in this Section 1.7
shall not be applicable to the issuance or sale of (i) up to
60,000,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii) securities issued
pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends, or similar
transactions approved by Purchaser; (iii) shares of Common
Stock issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors
of the company pursuant to stock option plans or restricted
stock plans or agreements approved by the Company's Board of
Directors and by Purchaser; (vi) securities issued to
financial institutions or lessors in connection with
commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings,
commercial property lease transactions, or similar
transactions approved by the Board of Directors and Purchaser
and not for the purpose of raising capital, (v) shares of
Common Stock issued in an underwritten public offering; or
(vi) securities issued in connection with bona fide
acquisition transactions approved by the Board of Directors
and by Purchaser.
(c) The right of first refusal in this Section 1.7
shall terminate and cease to have effect upon the closing of
an acquisition of the Company to an unrelated third party in a
transaction approved by Purchaser."
4. ATTACHMENT OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT AS EXHIBIT. The Stock Option
Agreement attached to this First Amendment as Exhibit I shall be deemed attached
to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit I thereto.
5. AMENDMENT OF DEFINITION OF "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES". The definition of
"Registrable Securities" contained in Section 2.1 is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
"`REGISTRABLE SECURITIES' means, collectively, the Shares, any
other shares of common stock issued to the Purchaser pursuant
to this Agreement (including any shares issued pursuant to
Section 1.2.4(a) or pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement
described in Section 1.4) and any securities issued or
issuable upon any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event with

for purposes of acquiring that real estate, and. shall ensure that Purchaser or
his designee is made the sole manager of the LLC if and when Purchaser exercises
the option to acquire at least a majority interest in the LLC. Exhibit D to the
Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety by Exhibit D
to this First Amendment and, upon execution by the parties, the Option Agreement
reflected by Exhibit D to this First Amendment shall replace in its entirety the

November, 2004, ("GRANT DATE") by and between INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE HOLDINGS,
INC., a Nevada corporation ("OPTIONOR") and XXXX XXXXXXXXX, M.D. (or his
assignee or designee) ("OPTIONEE").
R E C I T A L S:
A. Optionee and Optionor are parties to that certain Secured Convertible
Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 28, 2004 (the "PURCHASE
AGREEMENT"), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Secured Convertible
Note Purchase Agreement dated on or about the date hereof, pursuant to which the
Optionor and the Optionee have agreed to enter into this Agreement. Capitalized
terms not otherwised defined in this Agreement have the same meanings as in the
Purchase Agreement.
B. Optionor expects to acquire title to that certain real property located
in the cities of Santa Xxx and Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California,
more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property"). Title
to the Property will be acquired by a limited liability company to be formed by
Optionor (the "LLC").
C. Optionor is willing to grant Optionee an option to purchase all of the
membership interests in the LLC subject to all of the terms, conditions and
provisions of this Agreement.
1. OPTION TO PURCHASE.
1.1 GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement,
Optionor hereby grants to Optionee an option to purchase all of the membership
interests in the LLC except those interests sold to the Shah Group pursuant to
the Shah Option Agreement (the "CHAUDHURI OPTION") for a purchase price of
$50,000 for each 1% of membership interest being acquired (up to $5,000,000
total) ("PURCHASE PRICE"). The Option shall commence on the date the Property is
acquired by the Optionor or the LLC and continue for a period ending at 4:00
p.m. on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the acquisition of the Property
by the LLC ("OPTION PERIOD").
1.2 AUTOMATIC TERMINATION. If Optionee has not exercised the
Chaudhuri Option pursuant to Article II, on or before 4:00 p.m. on the date of
expiration of the Option Period, the Chaudhuri Option shall automatically
terminate without notice to Optionee, and all rights of Optionee under this
Agreement shall then and there cease.
2. PRO RATA REDUCTION OF OPTION. Optionee acknowledges that Optionor has,
currently with the execution of this Agreement, granted an option (the "Shah
Option Agreement") to Xxxx X. Xxxx, M.D. or his assignees or designees (the
"SHAH GROUP") options to acquire up to (i) 49% of the membership interests of
the LLC (the "SHAH LLC OPTION")and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of Optionor's Common
Stock (the "SHAH STOCK OPTION"). If the Shah Group exercises the Shah LLC Option
(or any portion thereof), the Chaudhuri Option shall be reduced pro rata by the
amount acquired by the Shah Group upon such exercise. The Shah LLC Option
provides that, at the closing of the purchase of the Property, the Shah Group
must exercise the Shah LLC Option to the extent of acquiring at least 14% of the
LLC membership interests for $714,285.74. As a result of that exercise, the
Chaudhuri Option shall be reduced to an option to acquire up to 86% of the
membership interests of the LLC for $4,285,714.26. Additional exercises by the
Shah Group of the Shah LLC Option shall result in similar pro rata reductions.
If Optionee exercises the Chaudhuri Option prior to the exercise by the Shah
Group of all or any portion of the Shah LLC Option, then Optionee shall honor
the terms of the Shah LLC Option and shall sell to the Shah Group additional LLC
membership interests (up to 49% of the LLC's total membership interests, with
Optionee retaining 51%) upon payment by the Shah Group of the exercise price
therefor to Optionee in cash. Any proceeds of the exercise of the Shah LLC
Option and/or the Shah Stock Option received by Optionor shall immediately be
paid to Optionee as a repayment of either the Note or of the Ten Million Dollar
Loan until the Note and the Ten Million Dollar Loan are repaid in full. Optionee
shall designate whether the repayment shall be against the Note or against the
Ten Million Dollar Loan, or if it shall be divided between the two (and shall
also designate the amount of the division)
3. EXERCISE OF OPTION TO PURCHASE. Optionee may exercise the Chaudhuri
Option, at any time during the Option Period by either (a) paying the Purchase
Price by wire transfer or other immediately available funds to Optionor or (b)
delivering to Optionor appropriate, fully-executed documentation providing an
offset of the Purchase Price against either the Note or against the Ten Million
Dollar Loan.
4. ENTRY FOR INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTY. Optionor hereby grants to Optionee
a license to enter upon any portion of the Property for the purpose of
conducting engineering surveys, investigations, soil tests and other studies.
Optionee agrees to indemnify and hold Optionor and the Property free from any
and all liability, claims, damage and expense (including but not limited to
attorney's fees) caused by or resulting from the exercise of said license. Such
undertaking of indemnity shall survive the exercise of the Chaudhuri Option or
the expiration thereof. The limited license herein granted shall be co-extensive
with the term of the Chaudhuri Option or any extension thereof.
5. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
