Pursuant to the Agreement: (i) the parties agreed that the termination of the Management Agreements shall be effective as of March 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) and that ADK Oklahoma will no longer provide any ongoing services to the Facilities; and (ii) Brogdon executed a promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of the Company in principal amount of $523,663, which represents amounts owed as of the Effective Date (a) by the Brogdon Entities to ADK Oklahoma pursuant to the Management Agreements and (b) by GL Nursing to ADK Admin in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed assignment in May 2012 of its rights to acquire a skilled nursing facility in Lonoke, Arkansas, known as the Golden Years Manor (the “Golden Years Manor Assignment”).
