WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, Seller owns buildings that are nursing homes (the “Nursing Home”) and the related real estate as described on Exhibit A, (the “Premises”);
     WHEREAS, Seller currently leases the Premises to Tandem Health Care of Ohio, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Tandem Ohio”), pursuant to that certain Assignment of Leases, dated March 1, 2000 (the “Assignment of Leases”), by and among Tandem Ohio, Sellers and the following “Renacci” parties: James Renacci (“Renacci”), LTC Management of Lucasville, Inc., LTC Management of Lucasville II, Inc., LTC Management of Westerville, Inc., LTC Management of Greenfield, Inc. and LTC Management of Wellston, Inc.;
     WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors, and shareholders of Seller have determined that it is in the best interest of Seller to sell the Assets (as defined in Section 1.1) to Buyer;
     WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer desires to acquire the Assets under the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, and the agreements, covenants, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of all of which are forever acknowledged and confessed, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. SALE OF ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES
1.1 Assets.
          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell, convey, transfer and deliver to Buyer and Buyer agrees to purchase as of Closing (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Assets”): (i) fee simple absolute title to the real property described in Schedule 4.9 hereto, together with all improvements, buildings and fixtures located thereon or therein (collectively, the “Real Property”); (ii) all major, minor or other machinery, equipment, furniture, furnishings, appliances, signs and personal property located in, attached to or used in connection with Real Property owned by Seller including those listed on Schedule 4.9 hereto (the

 


 

“Personal Property”), if any; (iii) any books and records pertaining to the Warranties (as hereinafter defined), Licenses and Permits (as hereinafter defined), any Real Property or the operation of the Real Property (collectively, the “Books and Records”)); (iv) all written warranties and guaranties given to Seller made by or received from any person with respect to any building, building component, structure, fixture, machinery, equipment or material constituting part of the Real Property (collectively the “Warranties”); (v) (a) any preliminary, final or proposed building plans or specifications (including “as-built” plans and drawings) and plans and specifications for improvements, structures and fixtures, (b) existing surveys, architectural and structural drawings, and engineering, soils, seismic, environmental, geologic and architectural reports, studies and tests relating to the Real Property and (c) lock combinations, keys, operating manuals and technical data relating to the Real Property or any Personal Property ((a), (b) and (c) collectively, the “Reports and Plans”); and (vi) the Assignment of Leases, the Original Leases and all other agreements; (vii) all certificates of use or occupancy, zoning permits, building permits and other governmental permits, licenses, authorizations and approvals set forth on Schedule 4.5 (collectively, the “Licenses and Permits”) to the extent assignable, held by Seller relating to and/or necessary or useful for the lawful construction, the ownership, operation, management, use, occupancy, development and operations of the Nursing Home and the Assets (the “Assignable Licenses and Permits”). Seller shall convey good title to the Assets and all parts thereof to Buyer free and clear of all liens, pledges, rights of first refusal, options, restrictions, encumbrances, liabilities, claims, assessments, security interests and defects in title, except as permitted or provided herein to the contrary.
1.2 Excluded Liabilities.
          Buyer shall not assume or be obligated to pay nor shall the Assets be subject to or bound by any liability of Seller, whether fixed or contingent, recorded or unrecorded, except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement (all such liabilities, “Excluded Liabilities”).
2. FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
2.1 Deposit/Purchase Price.
          2.1.1 Five thousand dollars ($5,000) has been paid to Seller by Buyer in cash in accordance with that certain Letter of Intent dated October 20, 2004 between Buyer and Seller as a good faith deposit in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement (the “Deposit”). Such Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing and shall not be refundable to Buyer; even in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10.1.
          2.1.2 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.3, Buyer agrees to tender to Seller at Closing approximately ($15,161,627), (the “Purchase Price”), comprised of the following:
          (a) Estimated debt pay off (the “Bank Liabilities”) of $8,909,205, comprised as follows:

2


 

  (i)   Pay off of $8.6 Million National City loan in the amount of $6,966,200
 
  (ii)   Pay off of $4.0 Million National City loan in the amount of $3,384,800, reduced by $1,771,795 which constitutes the portion of such obligation being paid directly by Tandem Ohio to National City and excluded from the Purchase Price (the “Tandem Loan Portion”);
 
  (iii)   Early termination of swap contract liability in the amount of $330,000
  (b)   Estimated tax liability (the “Tax Liability”) of $2,902,422;
 
  (c)   Option fee (the “Option Fee”) of $2,000,000; and
 
  (d)   Subject to Section 2.3.3 herein, the lease termination premium (the “Lease Termination Premium”) of $1,250,000, based upon a Closing date of March 1, 2005.;
          2.1.3 The Purchase Price will be paid at Closing in cash or certified check for the Bank Liabilities, Tax Liability, the Option Fee, the Lease Termination Premium and the Rent Arrearages; provided, however that Tandem shall be given credit toward the payment of the Purchase Price in the amount of (1) $5,000 for the Deposit; and (2) lease deposits (the “Lease Deposits”) in the amount of $308,883.
          2.1.4 Buyer shall also tender to Seller at Closing the amount of accrued interest on the Bank Liabilities on and as of Closing (the “Accrued Interest”).
          2.1.5 Buyer shall also tender to Seller at Closing the Rent Arrearages and December Rent as set forth on Schedule 2.1.5.
2.2 Allocation of Purchase Price.
          Seller and Buyer shall agree prior to Closing to an allocation (the “Allocation”) of the Purchase Price among the various classes of Assets as provided by Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”) and to be set forth in Schedule 2.2 hereto. In this regard, the parties agree that, if required, they will each properly prepare and timely file Form 8594 in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code consistent with the Allocation. The parties agree that any tax

3


 

returns or other tax information they may file or cause to be filed with any governmental agency shall be prepared and filed consistently with the Allocation.
2.3 Purchase Price Adjustments.
          2.3.1 The Bank Liabilities shall be adjusted to reflect the actual liability on and as of the Closing Date.
          2.3.2 The Tax Liability is based upon (and shall include) Seller’s accountant’s estimate of taxable gain on the $15,161,627 Purchase Price as of a December 31, 2004 Closing (i.e., the actual Purchase Price “grossed-up” to include all taxes on the transaction), and such amount shall be adjusted to reflect the “estimate” as of the actual Closing, subject to verification by Buyer’s accountants and, to the extent necessary, there will be a final computation of the precise amount of such liability within thirty (30) days after the Closing, based upon the “grossed-up” Purchase Price. The parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the Purchase Price include all federal, state and local tax liabilities of any kind or nature incurred by Seller and/or its shareholders in connection with (and only in connection with) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The computation of the Tax Liability to be reimbursed by Buyer hereunder shall not include any net operating or capital loss carry forward, inter-company transfers or payments which Seller or its shareholders may possess with respect to any matter that is not directly related to the transaction contemplated herein. Any dispute regarding computation of the tax liabilities will be conclusively resolved by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer and the fees charged by the certified public accountant will be borne by the parties in the proportion that the computation by such party’s accountant shall be proven to be incorrect. For example, if Seller states that the tax reimbursement amount is $3,400,000 and Buyer states it is $3,000,000 but the certified public accountant states that the amount is $3,300,000, Seller shall pay 25% of the certified public accountant fees and Buyer shall pay 75%; if the certified public accountant determined that the amount is $3,500,000, the entire fee shall be borne by Buyer.
          2.3.3 Should the Closing occur prior to March 1, 2005, the Lease Termination Premium shall be increased as follows: by $50,000 to $1,300,000 if the Closing occurs on or after February 1, 2005 but before March 1, 2005, and by $100,000 to $1,350,000 if the Closing occurs on or after December 15, 2004 but before February 1, 2005, and the Purchase Price shall be increased accordingly.
3. CLOSING
3.1 Closing.
          Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the appropriate party of all the conditions precedent to Closing specified in Articles 8 and 9 hereof, the consummation of the transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, One Oxford Centre, 301 Grant Street, 20th Floor, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15219, at 8:30 a.m.

4

The Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. then prevailing Eastern time on the date following the Closing (the “Effective Time”).
3.2 Prorations.
     Except as set forth in Section 2.3, there shall be no other offsets, deductions, prorations or purchase price adjustments of any kind or nature. The parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that, after the payment by Seller of the final Bank Liabilities and the final Tax Liability, and after the payment to Seller of the Reimbursable Selling Expenses, Seller shall receive the Option Fee plus the Lease Termination Premium, in full, subject to no further or additional offsets, deductions, prorations or purchase price adjustments, provided that such total amount shall include the Deposit, and provided further that Seller shall be obligated to pay the Non-Reimbursable Selling Expenses (as defined in Section 11.5).
