The “Net Assets Adjustment Amount” shall equal the difference between Estimated Net Assets and Base Net Assets.

If the Seller Representative disagrees with Purchaser’s determination of Closing Date Net Assets, the Seller Representative shall notify Purchaser in writing within twenty (20) days after Purchaser’s delivery of its determination of Closing Date Net Assets and state in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement. Failure of the Seller Representative to deliver such a notice of disagreement within such twenty (20) day period shall constitute Sellers’ acceptance of Purchaser’s determination of Closing Date Net Assets as delivered to the Seller Representative under this Section 1.12(c). If the Seller Representative and Purchaser fail to agree within thirty (30) days after the Seller Representative’s delivery of notice of disagreement on the amount of Closing Date Net Assets, such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.12(d), which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for resolving disputes relative to the determination of the amount of Closing Date Net Assets under this Section 1.12.

(d) In the event that the Seller Representative and Purchaser are not able to agree on the Closing Date Net Assets within thirty (30) days after the Seller Representative’s delivery of notice of disagreement pursuant to Section 1.12(c), the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall each have the right to require that such disputed determination be submitted to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or if Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP is not available for any reason or does not maintain its independent status, such other independent certified public accounting firm as the Seller Representative and Purchaser may then promptly mutually agree upon in writing (the “Accounting Firm”) for computation or verification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall review the matters in dispute and, acting as arbitrator, shall promptly decide the proper amounts of such disputed entries (which decision shall also include a final calculation of Closing Date Net Assets). The submission of the disputed matter to the Accounting Firm shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving disputes relative to the determination of Closing Date Net Assets under this Section 1.12. If issues are submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Seller and Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Accounting Firm may request and are available to that Party or its agents, and the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; (ii) the determination by the Accounting Firm, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both the Seller Representative and Purchaser within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Accounting Firm, of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in the calculation of Closing Date Net Assets; and (iii) one-half of the Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be paid by Sellers, and one-half of such fees and expenses shall be paid by Purchaser. The final calculation of Closing Date Net Assets pursuant to this Section 1.12, as determined pursuant to this Section 1.12, is referred to herein as the “Closing Date Net Assets Calculation.”

(e) The Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased based on the difference between Closing Date Net Assets and Estimated Net Assets (the “Final Net Assets Settlement Amount”) up to, but not exceeding, a total adjustment amount of One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Five Dollars ($165,285). Within ten (10) days after the date the final determination of Closing Date Net Assets is agreed to or settled upon by the Parties pursuant to this Section 1.12 (the “Final Net Assets Settlement Date”), (i) if Closing Date Net

Page 16

Assets exceed Estimated Net Assets, the Final Net Assets Settlement Amount shall be paid in cash by Purchaser to an account specified by the Seller Representative by wire transfer of immediately-available funds and as an increase to the Purchase Price, or (ii) if Estimated Net Assets exceed Closing Date Net Assets, the Final Net Assets Settlement Amount shall be paid in cash to Purchaser pursuant to the Closing Date Escrow Agreement as a decrease in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the increase or decrease pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Five Dollars ($165,285).

1.13 Risk of Loss. The risk of loss or damage to any of the Personal Property, the Real Property, the Facilities and all other assets and property of Sellers, the transfer of which is contemplated by this Agreement, shall remain with Sellers until the Effective Time. Sellers shall maintain in effect through the Effective Time, without material change, all insurance policies covering the Personal Property, the Real Property, the Facilities and all other assets and property of Sellers.

(a) With respect to the Real Property, if prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Real Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or the elements or by any other cause where such damage or destruction is in the aggregate (the “Aggregate Damage”) less than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price and Sellers have duly maintained the insurance policies described above, the Parties’ duties and obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected and the Closing shall proceed as scheduled; provided, however, at the Closing, Sellers shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to any insurance proceeds on account of such damage or destruction and shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash equal to the amount of any applicable deductibles under such insurance policies, and, if the sum of such insurance proceeds and deductible amounts are insufficient to repair, restore and/or replace the damaged or destroyed Real Property, the Purchase Price and the Closing Purchase Price Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to difference between the cost to repair, restore and/or replace and the sum of such insurance proceeds and deductible amounts. If prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Real Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or the elements or by any other cause where the Aggregate Damage equals or exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, Purchaser may elect to (i) purchase such Real Property, in which case the Closing shall proceed as scheduled; provided, however, at the Closing, Sellers shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to any insurance proceeds on account of such damage or destruction and shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash equal to the amount of any applicable deductibles under such insurance policies, and, if the sum of such insurance proceeds and deductible amounts are insufficient to repair, restore and/or replace the damaged or destroyed Real Property, the Purchase Price and the Closing Purchase Price Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the cost to repair, restore and/or replace and the sum of such insurance proceeds and deductible amounts, (ii) not purchase such Real Property, and, in such event, an appropriate reduction of the Purchase Price, utilizing a methodology to be agreed upon, shall be made by Purchaser and the Seller Representative, or (iii) elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Seller Representative. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to agree upon the amount of the Aggregate Damage and any applicable Purchase Price reduction within ten (10) days after Purchaser notifies the Seller Representative of an election made by Purchaser pursuant to subsection (ii) of the preceding sentence, the amount of the Aggregate Damage and any applicable Purchase Price reduction shall be determined by a consulting firm mutually selected

Page 17

by the Seller Representative and Purchaser (the “Independent Consultant”) pursuant to Section 1.13(d).

(b) With respect to any Assets other than Real Property which are damaged or destroyed by fire or the elements or by any other cause prior to the Closing, Sellers shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Sellers’ right, title and interest to any insurance proceeds on account of such damage or destruction and shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash equal to the amount of any applicable deductibles under such insurance policies, and, if such insurance proceeds and deductible amounts are insufficient to repair, restore and/or replace the damaged or destroyed Assets, the Purchase Price and the Closing Purchase Price Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the cost to repair, restore and/or replace and the sum of such insurance proceeds and deductible amounts.

(c) If prior to the Closing, all or any part of a parcel of the Real Property is made subject to an eminent domain or condemnation proceeding which would in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment materially adversely impair access to such Real Property or be materially adverse to the operations of the Facility located on such Real Property, Purchaser may elect to (i) purchase such affected Real Property, and the Closing shall proceed as scheduled; provided, however, at the Closing, Sellers shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to any award in such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding, (ii) not purchase the affected Real Property and the Facility and related Assets located thereon, and, in such event, an appropriate reduction of the Purchase Price, utilizing a methodology to be agreed upon, shall be made by Purchaser and the Seller Representative, or (iii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Seller Representative. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to agree upon the amount of the Purchase Price reduction within ten (10) days after Purchaser notifies the Seller Representative of an election made by Purchaser pursuant to subsection (ii) of the preceding sentence, the amount of the Purchase Price reduction shall be resolved by the Independent Consultant pursuant to Section 1.13(d).

(d) If pursuant to either Section 1.13(a) or 1.13(c), the amount of the Aggregate Damage (and any applicable Purchase Price reduction) is to be determined by the Independent Consultant, within the ten (10) day period referred to in Section 1.13(a) or 1.13(c), as applicable (the “Submittal Date”), Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall each submit to the other and to the Independent Consultant its proposed Aggregate Damage if applicable (and any applicable Purchase Price reduction) as a result of the event(s) contemplated by either Section 1.13(a) or 1.13(c), along with a detailed description of the basis for such amount and any applicable reduction. Within ten (10) calendar days after the Submittal Date, the Independent Consultant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall determine the Aggregate Damage if applicable (and any applicable Purchase Price reduction), taking into account any submissions by the Seller Representative or Purchaser made by the Submittal Date. The decision of the Independent Consultant shall be conclusive and binding as between Purchaser and Sellers. One-half of the costs of such review shall be paid by Sellers, and one-half of the costs of such review shall be paid by Purchaser.

(a) From the Closing Date until seven (7) years after the Closing Date or such longer period as required by law (the “Document Retention Period”), Purchaser shall keep and preserve all medical records, patient records, medical staff records and other books and records which are among the Assets delivered to it as of the Effective Time, but excluding any books and records which are among the Excluded Assets. Purchaser will afford to the Seller Representative and its representatives, including its counsel and accountants, full and complete access to, and copies of, such records with respect to time periods prior to the Effective Time (including access to records of patients treated at the Facilities prior to the Effective Time) during normal business hours after the Effective Time, to the extent reasonably requested by Sellers for business purposes and all in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Facilities. After the expiration of the Document Retention Period, if Purchaser intends to destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the documents covered by this Section 9.2(a), Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Seller Representative of Purchaser’s intention no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of such intended destruction or disposal.

In the event that, following the Effective Time, Purchaser suffers any offsets against reimbursement under any third-party payor or reimbursement programs due to Purchaser, relating to amounts owing under any such programs by any Seller or any of its Affiliates and not included as Current Liabilities in the Closing Date Net Assets Calculation, Sellers shall promptly upon demand from Purchaser pay to Purchaser the amounts so billed or offset.

Further, Sellers shall promptly remit to Purchaser all payments on any such Government Receivables received by any Seller.

(a) Subject to Section 10.5(e), if the Closing occurs, Sellers will have liability under this Agreement (other than with respect to any claim based on fraud, or any claim arising from or in connection with or relating to any of the Excluded Liabilities or any breach of any of the Specified Representations, it being agreed that any such claim may be brought at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations), only if on or before the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, a Purchaser Indemnified Person notifies the Seller Representative of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such Purchaser Indemnified Person.

(b) Subject to Section 10.5(e), if the Closing occurs, Purchaser will have liability under this Agreement (other than with respect to any claim based on fraud, or any claim arising from or in connection with any of the Assumed Liabilities, it being agreed that any such claim may be brought at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations), only if on or before the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller Representative notifies Purchaser of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by any Seller.

(c) All indemnification payments pursuant to this Article 10 shall be paid by the indemnifying party net of any net Tax benefits or insurance benefits that are actually received by the Party indemnified hereunder with respect to the claim in question (taking into account any

Page 52

tax or other consequences arising from the payment of the claim, the receipt of the indemnification payment, or the receipt of any insurance benefits).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 10, Sellers shall have no obligation to make any payments to any Purchaser Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 10.2 (other than from the escrow account established pursuant to the Closing Date Escrow Agreement) unless and until the escrow account established pursuant to the Closing Date Escrow Agreement shall be exhausted by (i) distributions or payments made under the Closing Date Escrow Agreement, (ii) the amount of claims made by Purchaser under the Closing Date Escrow Agreement pending resolution thereunder, or (iii) any combination of the matters referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii).

(e) Except for (i) post-closing covenants contained in Section 4.4, Article 9, Article 11 or Article 12 hereof, (ii) obligations pursuant to the Closing Date Escrow Agreement, or the Noncompetition Agreements or the Right of First Refusal Agreements and (iii) claims based on fraud, in each case as to which the limitations in Sections 10.5(a), 10.5(b), and 10.5(d) shall not apply and as to which the Parties shall have all remedies available to them at law or in equity, if the Closing occurs the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto for any breach or nonperformance of any provision of this Agreement shall be the indemnification provided by this Article 10.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, no Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.3(a) for Damages arising from or in connection with a breach of a representation or warranty if such Indemnified Person had actual knowledge of such breach at any time on or before the Closing.

10.6 Escrow. Upon notice to the Seller Representative specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Purchaser may give notice under the Closing Date Escrow Agreement of a claim in such amount to which any Purchaser Indemnified Person may be entitled under this Article 10. The failure to give a notice of a claim under the Closing Date Escrow Agreement will not constitute an election of remedies or limit any Purchaser Indemnified Person in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

10.7 Third-Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by a Seller or a Purchaser Indemnified Person entitled to indemnity under Section 10.2 or 10.3 (an “Indemnified Person“) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person“) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person proves that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.7(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person, at its sole cost and expense, shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the

Page 53

Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the assumption of defense by the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person may, at its sole cost and expense, file any motion, answer or other pleadings that the Indemnified Person may deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Person and which is not prejudicial, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnifying Person, to the Indemnifying Person. If requested by the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Person and its counsel in contesting any Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of and elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third-Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third-Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates). The Indemnified Person may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Section 10.7(b), and except as specifically provided in this Section 10.7(b), the Indemnified Person will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s written consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person, and (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim effected without its written consent.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.7(b), if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or any of its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement if such compromise or settlement is effected without its written consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Person gives such a notice but fails to

Page 54

prosecute diligently or settle the Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, the Third-Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings. In such event, the Indemnified Person will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, to cooperate with the Indemnified Person and its counsel in contesting any Third-Party Claim which the Indemnified Person is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third-Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third-Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnifying Person or any of its Affiliates).

(e) Each Party consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on any Party with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 10: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such other Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense except as specifically provided in this Section 10.7) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

10.8 Other Claims. Subject to Section 10.5(d), a claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.

ARTICLE 11

TAX AND COST REPORT MATTERS

11.1 Tax Matters; Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Sellers shall promptly after the Closing prepare and file all Tax Returns and other reports and returns required by any Legal Requirement relating to any Seller or any business, asset, or activity of any Seller, to and including the Effective Time.

(b) After the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate fully with each other and shall make available to each other, as reasonably requested, all information, records or documents relating to Tax liabilities or potential Tax liabilities with respect to the operation of the Facilities or ownership of the Assets for all periods prior to the Effective Time and shall preserve all such information, records and documents at least until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof. The Parties shall also make available to each other as reasonably required, and at the reasonable cost of the requesting Party (for out-of-pocket

Page 55

costs and expenses only), personnel responsible for preparing or maintaining information, records and documents in connection with Tax matters.

(c) The Seller Representative and Purchaser shall cooperate in the preparation of a joint schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price (including, for purposes of this Section, any other consideration paid by Purchaser for the Assets and any Assumed Liabilities), among the Assets. Sellers and Purchaser each agree to file IRS Form 8594, and all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule. Sellers and Purchaser each agree to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete the Allocation Schedule. If, however, the Seller Representative and Purchaser are unable to complete such schedule on or before the Final Net Assets Settlement Date, or by such later date as may agreed upon by the Seller Representative and Purchaser, each of Sellers and Purchaser may file IRS Form 8594, and any federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, allocating the Purchase Price (as defined for purposes of this Section) among the Assets in the manner each believes appropriate, provided such allocation is reasonable and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(d) Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their respective representatives and attorneys to cooperate with each other, in obtaining any tax clearance certificates or similar documentation necessary for avoiding Tax withholding with respect to the payment of the Purchase Price or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold amounts from the Purchase Price and pay such amounts over to applicable tax authorities as required under applicable Tax laws, and any such withholding tax payments shall be deemed to be a payment to Sellers in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless for any liability of Purchaser for any amount that was required to be withheld from the Purchase Price with respect to any Tax of any Seller and that was not so withheld.

11.2 Cost Report Matters.

(a) Purchaser shall forward to the Seller Representative any and all correspondence received by Purchaser relating to the Seller Cost Reports or rights to settlements and retroactive adjustments on Seller Cost Reports (“Agency Settlements”), within ten (10) business days of receipt by Purchaser. Purchaser shall not reply to any such correspondence without the Seller Representative’s written approval. Within ten (10) business days after receipt by Purchaser, Purchaser shall remit or forward to the Seller Representative any receipts relating to the Seller Cost Reports or the Agency Settlements and any demand for payments. Sellers shall retain all rights to Seller Cost Reports including any payables resulting therefrom or receivables relating thereto and the right to appeal any Medicare determinations relating to the Agency Settlements and Seller Cost Reports.

(b) Upon reasonable notice and during normal business office hours, Purchaser will cooperate with Sellers in regard to (i) the preparation, filing, handling, and appeals of Seller Cost Reports, and (ii) any cost report disputes and/or other claim adjudication matters relative to governmental program reimbursement. Such cooperation shall include the providing of statistics and obtaining files at the Facilities and the coordination with the Seller Representative pursuant to adequate notice of Medicare and Medicaid exit conferences or meetings.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(A) Purchaser may (i) assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any one or more subsidiaries that are wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser, or (ii) at or prior to Closing, designate one or more of such subsidiaries as the entity to acquire some or all of the Assets or assume some or all of the Assumed Liabilities (any such subsidiary to whom such an assignment, delegation or designation is made, a “Designee”); and in the event of any such assignment, delegation or designation by Purchaser, the term “Purchaser,” as used herein, shall include such Designee or Designees as appropriate in connection with the nature and extent of such assignment, delegation or designation. No such assignment, delegation or designation by Purchaser shall relieve Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder in the event of any Designee’s breach or failure to perform any of the matters assigned or delegated to it; and

(B) Purchaser may collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement to any financial institution providing financing to Purchaser.

12.7 Headings. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits, are included for the purpose of convenient reference only and shall not restrict, amplify, modify or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits.

12.8 Confidentiality and Publicity. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (in the case of a proposed disclosure by any Seller) or the Seller Representative (in the case of a proposed disclosure by Purchaser), neither Purchaser nor any Seller shall discuss with, or provide to, any third party (except for such disclosing Party’s attorneys, accountants, directors, officers and employees, the directors, officers and employees of any Affiliate of any Party hereto, and other consultants and professional advisors) any non-public information contained in or related to this Agreement or concerning this transaction, except: (a) Purchaser and Sellers shall each be permitted to provide a copy of this Agreement, or provide information herein or a description thereof, to applicable governmental or administrative authorities as reasonably required or necessary, (b) as reasonably necessary to obtain any consents or approvals required hereunder to be obtained, (c) as required in governmental filings or judicial, administrative or arbitration proceedings, (d) pursuant to public announcements made with the prior written approval of the Seller Representative and Purchaser, or (e) as otherwise required by applicable law.

12.9 Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Party shall bear and pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of their respective attorneys, accountants, advisors, agents and other representatives. Purchaser shall pay the following: (a) all costs of surveys of the Real Property ordered by Purchaser, (b) all costs of any environmental surveys of any of the Real Property ordered by Purchaser, and (c) all filing fees under the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. All sales or transfer Taxes, recording charges and escrow fees in connection with the conveyance of the Assets shall be paid one-half by Sellers and one-half by Purchaser. All fees or costs due to any lender of any Seller, if any, in order to secure any necessary consents or releases in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall be paid by Sellers. Sellers shall pay one-half and Purchaser shall pay one-half of all amounts payable to any title company in respect of any of the Title Commitments, copies of exceptions and the Title Policies, including reasonable premiums (including premiums for endorsements) and search fees; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this sentence to the contrary, Sellers’ liability with respect to premiums for the Title Policies shall not

Page 59

exceed $.50 per $1,000 of the total amount insured pursuant to such Title Policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs, fees or endorsements with respect to any mortgagee Title Policies required by any creditor or lender of Purchaser, the cost of which shall be based upon the lower simultaneous issue premium. Sellers shall pay one-half and Purchaser shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreements. If this Agreement is terminated, the obligation of any Party to pay its own fees and expenses will be subject to any rights of such Party arising from a breach of this Agreement by any other Party. If any action is brought by any Seller or Purchaser to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other such Party (from Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be).

12.10 Severability. If any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Party or circumstance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent in any jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such term, provision, condition or covenant in any other jurisdiction or to Persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, provision, condition and covenant of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.11 Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

12.12 Seller Obligations. The liability of each Seller hereunder shall be joint and several with each other Seller. Where in this Agreement provision is made for any action to be taken or not taken by any Seller, Sellers jointly and severally undertake to cause each Seller to take or not take such action, as the case may be. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller shall be jointly and severally liable with each other Seller for the indemnities set forth in Article 10. Jefferson City Medical Investors, LLC is a party to this Agreement for the sole purpose of evidencing its obligation to sell the Berkeley County Facility (and assets related thereto owned by Jefferson City Medical Investors, LLC) to Lighthouse Care Centers of Berkeley County, LLC pursuant to the contract described in Section 4.3(d) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Jefferson City Medical Investors, LLC have any obligation or liability under this Agreement beyond its obligation to transfer the Berkeley County Facility, and all such assets related thereto, to Lighthouse Care Centers of Berkeley County, LLC pursuant to such contract.

12.13 Enforcement. Sellers acknowledge and agree that Purchaser would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by any Seller could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Purchaser may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary,

Page 60

preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

12.14 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party, (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement, (d) the subsequent acceptance of performance hereunder by a Party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by any other Party of any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement, other than the failure of such other Party to perform the particular duties so accepted, regardless of the accepting Party’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such performance, and (e) the waiver of any term, covenant or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition of this Agreement.

12.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING FROM ANY SOURCE, INCLUDING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY STATE THEREIN, COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OR REGULATIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.
