All parties hereto hereby acknowledge the necessity of protection against the competition of the other party and its

Affiliates and that the nature and scope of such protection has been carefully considered by the parties.

10. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.

Accordingly, Seller and Buyer agree that for a period of six (6) years after Closing each will make reasonably available to the other’s agents, independent auditors, counsel, and/or governmental agencies upon written request and at the expense of the requesting party such documents and information as may be available relating to Seller or the Purchased Assets for periods prior and subsequent to Closing to the extent necessary to facilitate concluding the transactions herein contemplated, audits, compliance with governmental requirements and regulations, and the prosecution or defense of claims.

10.4 Preservation and Access to Records After the Closing.

(a) After the Closing, Buyer shall, in the ordinary course of business and to the extent as required by law, keep and preserve in their original form the medical and billing records of patients in the Healthcare Facilities as of the Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “records” includes all documents, electronic data and other compilations of information in any form. Buyer acknowledges that as a result of entering into this Agreement and operating the Healthcare Facilities it will gain access to patient and other information which is subject to rules and regulations regarding confidentiality. Buyer agrees to abide by any such rules and regulations relating to the confidential information it acquires. Buyer agrees to maintain the patient records of Seller which are located at the Healthcare Facilities at the Closing or at the Healthcare Facilities after Closing in accordance with applicable law (including, if applicable, Section 1861(v)(i)(I) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. §1395(v)(l)(i)), the privacy and security requirements of the Administrative Simplification subtitle of the HIPAA and applicable state requirements with respect to medical privacy and requirements of relevant insurance carriers, all in a manner consistent with the maintenance of patient records generated at the Healthcare Facilities after Closing.

(b) Upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, at no out-of-pocket cost or expense to Buyer, Buyer will afford to the representatives of Seller access to and copies of the patient medical and billing records of the Healthcare Facilities to the extent they relate to any services performed or bills rendered during any period prior to Closing for reasonable business purposes. Upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and at no out-of-pocket cost or expense to Buyer, Buyer shall also make its officers and employees available to Seller at reasonable times and places after the Closing for the foregoing purposes. In addition, Seller shall be entitled, at Seller’s sole risk, to remove from the Healthcare Facilities copies of any such patient and/or billing records, but only for purposes of pending litigation involving a patient to whom such records refer upon Buyer’s receipt of any required consents and authorizations. Any patient record so removed from the Healthcare Facilities shall be promptly returned to Buyer following its use by Seller. Any access to the Healthcare Facilities, their records or Buyer’s personnel granted to Seller in this Agreement shall be upon the condition that any such access not materially interfere with the business operations of Buyer.

10.5 Tax and Medicare Effect. None of the parties (nor such parties’ counsel or accountants) has made or is making any representations to any other party (nor such party’s counsel or accountants) concerning any of the tax or reimbursement effects of the transactions provided for in this Agreement as each party hereto represents that each has obtained, or may obtain, independent advice with respect to tax and reimbursement matters and upon which it, if so obtained, has solely relied.

10.6 Reproduction of Documents. This Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed, (b) the documents delivered at the Closing, and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to Seller or to Buyer, may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.9 hereof, be reproduced by Seller and by Buyer by any photographic, photostatic or other similar process and Seller and Buyer may destroy any original documents so reproduced. Seller and Buyer agree and stipulate that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial, arbitral or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by the Seller or Buyer in the regular course of business) and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

10.7 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Following the Closing, the parties shall cooperate fully with each other and shall make available to the other, as reasonably requested and at the expense of the requesting party, and to any taxing authority, all information, records or documents relating to tax liabilities or potential tax liabilities of Seller for all periods on or prior to the Closing and any information which may be relevant to determining the amount payable under this Agreement, and shall preserve all such information, records and documents (to the extent a part of the Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer at Closing) at least until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof.

10.8 Patient Billings.

(a) Buyer Receivables. Buyer shall be entitled to the accounts receivable which arise from services provided to patients of the Healthcare Facilities after the Closing Date (the “Buyer Receivables”). The Buyer Receivables shall include, without limitation amounts prepaid by patients to compensate for hospital days and collectible receivables attributable to services rendered on or after the Closing Date to patients of the Healthcare Facilities who were patients of the Healthcare Facilities prior to the Closing and patients of the Healthcare Facilities after the Closing (the “Straddle Patients”).

(b) Seller Receivables. To compensate Seller for services rendered and medicine, drugs and supplies provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Straddle Patients, the following shall apply:

(i) Cut-off Billings. To the extent that a payor will accept a cut-off billing, Seller shall prepare cut-off billings for all Straddle Patients as of the date immediately preceding the Closing Date. All payments which are received related to the cut-off billings will be property of Seller.

(ii) Cut-off Billings Not Accepted. If the payor of any Straddle Patient cannot or does not for any reason accept cut-off billings, then Buyer, to the extent Seller or Buyer has an agreement with such payor, shall submit billings to such payor for the entire portion of such Straddle Patient’s stay. To the extent applicable, Buyer shall provide to Seller a copy of all remittance advices or other documentation related thereto within fifteen (15) days after submitting claims for Straddle Patients to payors. To the extent Buyer or Seller is entitled to receive funds from such payor, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall remit to the other within fifteen (15) days after each receipt of payment with respect to such billing the amount determined owing to it computed by:

(x)

multiplying the total payment received for such Straddle Patient by a fraction, (A) to determine any amounts due Seller, the numerator of which shall be the number of days such Straddle Patient was a patient on or prior to the Closing Date, (B) to determine any amounts due Buyer, the numerator of which shall be the number of days such Straddle Patient was a patient after the Closing Date, and (C) in either case of (A) or (B), the denominator of which shall be the total number of days such Straddle Patient was a patient, both before and after the Closing Date; and

(y)

and subtracting any deposits or co-payments made by the applicable patient to the Seller prior to Closing in the case of any amounts otherwise owing to Seller, or to Buyer after the Closing in the case of any amounts otherwise owing to Buyer, which were not applied to its respective cut-off billings.

To the extent that Buyer or Seller does not have an agreement with such payor, then Buyer shall within fifteen (15) days after the date of discharge of any Straddle Patient, provide Seller with such assignments and documentation as may be necessary, including but not limited to remittance advices or other documentation related thereto, for Seller to submit billings to such payor for the entire portion of such Straddle Patient’s stay. Seller shall then remit to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after each receipt of payment with respect to such billing the amount determined by multiplying the total payment received for such Straddle Patient by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days such Straddle Patient was a patient following the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days such Straddle Patient was a patient, both before and after the Closing Date.

10.9 Cost Reports. Within the time required by statute and regulation, Seller will prepare and file with respect to the Healthcare Facilities all facility and home office cost reports relating to periods ending prior to the Closing Date, including terminating cost reports for Medicare, Medicaid and other applicable governmental and private health benefit plans. Seller will provide copies of all such cost reports to Buyer. All amounts due to, or owed by, Seller for any such cost report settlements or adjustments will be for the account of Seller. Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Buyer’s written request therefor, reimburse Buyer for any cost report adjustments or other Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental program or third party payor adjustments withheld from Buyer after the Closing Date consisting of overpayments, adjustments or other amounts owed by Seller for any period prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s written request therefor,

reimburse Seller for any cost report adjustments or other Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental program or third party payor adjustments or payments paid to Buyer after the Closing Date consisting of underpayments, adjustments or other amounts owed to Seller for any period prior to the Closing Date.

10.10 Other Payments. If (i) Buyer receives any amount from (x) Medicare or Medicaid for cost-based patients, from any patient (including prepaid amounts), or from any other payor which relates to services rendered by Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall remit said full amount to Seller in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof and/or (y) claims and settlements made under cost reports filed, or to be filed, for periods prior to Closing relating to services rendered up to the Closing, Buyer shall promptly remit said full amount to Seller or (ii) Seller receives any amount from Medicare or Medicaid for cost-based patients, from any patient (including prepaid amounts), or from any other payor which relates to services rendered by Buyer after Closing, Seller shall promptly remit said full amount to Buyer.

10.11 Employee Matters.

(a) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall continue the employment of substantially all the active employees of the Healthcare Facilities in good standing as of the Closing Date, subject to Buyer’s normal employment qualifications for employment, in positions and at compensation levels reasonably consistent with those being provided by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date (“Retained Employees”). Nothing herein shall be deemed to create or grant to any such employees of Seller third party beneficiary rights or claims of any kind or nature. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer shall continue employment of at least the minimum number of Seller’s employees as of the Closing, and upon such terms of employment, as necessary so as not to cause Seller to violate the WARN Act (defined below) in connection with the transition of the ownership of Seller from Seller to Buyer at the Closing. Buyer shall (i) promptly upon Closing place all Retained Employees under Buyer’s employee benefit plans and (ii) continue to recognize the Retained Employees’ accrued seniority for purposes of Buyer’s employee benefit plans to the extent allowed or authorized by terms, qualifications and limitations of said plans, and to the extent that such recognition does not require retroactive funding by Buyer for time or seniority accumulated by an employee of Seller prior to Closing.

(b) Within the period of ninety (90) days before the Closing, Seller shall not, and within the ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer shall not: (1) permanently or temporarily shut down a single site of employment, or one or more facilities or operating units within a single site of employment, if the shutdown results in an employment loss during any thirty (30) day period at the single site of employment for fifty (50) or more employees, excluding any part-time employees; or (2) have a mass layoff at a single site of employment of at least thirty-three percent (33%) of the active employees and at least fifty (50) employees, excluding part-time employees. The terms “single site of employment,” “operating unit,” “employment loss” and “mass layoff” shall be defined as in the WARN Act. With respect to terminations of employees following the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for any notification required under the WARN Act. In respect of the employees employed by Buyer, it shall provide such employees with employee benefits consistent with the benefits generally offered to similarly-situated employees of Affiliates of Buyer in the same geographic area as the Healthcare Facilities.

(c) Buyer will credit each eligible Retained Employee and their eligible dependents under applicable Buyer employee welfare benefit plans with any deductibles, co-payments or other cost-sharing amounts attributable to the Retained Employee or eligible dependent under the Seller’s employee welfare benefit plans, as the case may be, following receipt by Buyer of reasonable evidence of any such deductibles, co-payments and/or other cost-sharing amounts.

10.12 Use of Hospital Forms, Policies and Records. For a period of sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall permit Buyer to continue to use all electronic and printed forms and policies (the “Hospital Forms”) historically used by Seller in connection with the operation of the Healthcare Facilities, regardless of whether such forms contain Seller’s trade names, trademarks and/or service marks.

10.13 Misdirected Payments, Etc. Seller covenants and agrees and Buyer covenants and agrees, to remit to the other, with reasonable promptness, any payments received, which payments are on or in respect of accounts or notes receivable owned by (or are otherwise payable to) the other. In addition, and without limitation, in the event of a determination by any governmental or third-party payor that payments to Seller resulted in an overpayment or other determination that funds previously paid by any program or plan to Seller must be repaid, Seller shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered prior to Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered by Buyer after Closing. In the event that, following Closing, Buyer suffers any offsets against reimbursement under any third-party payor or reimbursement programs due to it, consisting of amounts owing under any such programs by Seller or any of its Affiliates, Seller shall promptly upon demand from Buyer pay to Buyer or Seller the amounts so offset. Buyer agrees to cooperate with and assist Seller after Closing with collection of Accounts Receivable, and in exchange Seller shall pay Buyer a fee calculated as 5% of all Accounts Receivable collected by, or with the assistance of, Buyer after Closing.

11. INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers and employees (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs (including, without limitation, court costs) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (individually, a “Loss” and collectively, “Losses”) that such Seller Indemnified Party incurs as a result of (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Buyer under this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Buyer of, or any failure by Buyer to perform, any covenant or agreement of, or required to be performed by, Buyer under this Agreement, unless waived by Seller at Closing, or (iii) any of the Assumed Liabilities, or (iv) any claim made against Seller by a third party with respect to the operation of the Healthcare Facilities by Buyer on or following the Closing Date (including without limitation, any claim that Buyer or its Affiliates violated applicable laws or billed for services improperly, and any claim associated with Buyer’s use of the Hospital Forms).

11.2 Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers and employees (collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses that such Buyer Indemnified Party incurs as a result of (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller under this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Seller of, or any failure by Seller to perform, any covenant or agreement of, or required to be performed by, Seller under this Agreement, unless waived by Buyer at Closing, (iii) any of the Retained Liabilities, or (iv) any claim made against Buyer Indemnified Parties by a third party with respect to the operation of the Healthcare Facilities by Seller prior to the Closing Date (including without limitation, any claim that Seller or its Affiliates violated applicable laws or billed for services improperly).

11.3 Notice and Control of Litigation. If any claim or liability is asserted in writing by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 (the “Indemnified Party”) which would give rise to a claim under this Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Person giving the indemnity (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the same within ten (10) days of receipt of such written assertion of a claim or liability. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend a claim and control the defense, settlement, and prosecution of any litigation with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) days after notice of such claim, fails to defend such claim, the Indemnified Party shall (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise, or final determination thereof. Anything in this Section 11.3 notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The foregoing rights and agreements shall be limited to the extent of any requirement of any third-party insurer or indemnitor. All parties agree to cooperate fully as necessary in the defense of such matters. Should the Indemnified Party fail to notify the Indemnifying Party in the time required above, the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of the required notice shall be limited to the damages that would have resulted absent the Indemnified Party’s failure to notify the Indemnifying Party in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnifying Party had it received timely notice from the Indemnified Party.

11.4 Notice of Claim. If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any breach of the representations or warranties of the Indemnifying Party hereunder or any other basis for indemnification under this Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the same as promptly as possible but in any event within ten (10) days after becoming aware of such breach or claim, specifying in detail the circumstances and facts which give rise to a claim under this Section 11. Should the Indemnified Party fail to notify the Indemnifying Party within the time frame required above, the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of the required notice shall be limited to the damages that would have nonetheless resulted absent the

Indemnified Party’s failure to notify the Indemnifying Party in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnifying Party had it received timely notice from the Indemnified Party.

11.5 Claims Period. The Claims Periods hereunder shall begin on the date hereof and terminate as follows: (i)with respect to Buyer Losses arising under Section 11.2, the Claims Period shall continue until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to Seller Losses, the Claims Period shall until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day of the applicable Claims Period, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at the such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, the Claims Period with respect to Seller’s indemnity obligations (a) under the following Sections, shall survive until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing: Section 11.2(i) with respect to breach of Sections 3.9, 3.15 and 11.2(iv), (b) arising from Seller’s common law fraud, willful misconduct or criminal activity, shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations, and (c) under the following Sections, shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations: Section 11.2(i) with respect to breach of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.17, Section 11.2(ii) and Section 11.2(iii).

11.6 Liability Limits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not make a claim against the Seller for indemnification under this Agreement for Buyer Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of such Buyer Losses exceeds Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) (the “Threshold”) in which event Buyer Indemnified Parties may claim indemnification for all Buyer Losses, in excess of Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for indemnification or any other claim under this Agreement shall not exceed (i) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or (ii) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) in the case of claims against Seller with respect to the recapture of any payment made under the FRA Program, or Government Programs and Blue Cross cost reports filed by Seller, or to be filed, for or relating to periods prior to Closing for services rendered by Seller up to the Closing (the “Cap”).

(c) In no event shall either party be liable hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for any consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages. Further notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Threshold nor the Cap shall apply to any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnity against Seller or Buyer arising from any common law fraud by Seller or Buyer.

(d) For purposes of determining Losses under this Article XI, all qualifications as to materiality in any representation and warranty or any covenant will be disregarded.

11.7 Effect of Taxes, Insurance and Other Sources of Reimbursement. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11, shall be reduced (a) to take account of any net tax benefit realized arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss, (b) by the insurance proceeds received with respect to any such Loss, and (c) by any other amount recovered from third parties by the Indemnified Party (or its Affiliates) with respect to any Loss. If any Indemnified Party shall have received any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 11 with respect to any Loss, such Indemnified Party shall administratively file in good faith claims with any insurers to recover reimbursement for any such Losses under any applicable insurance policy and shall pursue such recovery in good faith. If any Indemnified Party shall have received any payment pursuant to this Section 11 with respect to any Loss and has or shall subsequently have received insurance proceeds or other amounts with respect to such Loss, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting the amount of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party. If any Indemnified Party shall have received any payment pursuant to this Section 11 with respect to any Loss and has or shall subsequently have a claim against a third party other than any insurer, such Indemnified Party shall, upon request and at the option of the Indemnifying Party either (i) pursue such claim in good faith by adequate proceedings and promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting the amount of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery) or (ii) assign such claim to the Indemnifying Party and permit the Indemnifying Party to pursue such claim in the Indemnified Party’s name, place and stead.

Each of the parties hereto further agrees that if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, it will return all such documents and instruments and all copies thereof in its possession or under its Control to the other parties to this Agreement.
