2.1 Purchase Price.
2.1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer agrees to assume at Closing the
Assumed Liabilities and tender to Seller Eighty-Two Million Dollars ($82,000,000.00) (the Purchase
Price). The Purchase Price will be paid at Closing as follows:
(a)
Eight hundred twenty-thousand dollars ($820,000) (the
Deposit) shall be paid by Buyer as follows: In
cash within five (5) days following execution of this Agreement, fifty-percent of which or Four Hundred and Ten Thousand Dollars ($410,000.00)
shall be paid in Cash (the Cash Deposit) and the other fifty percent or $410,000.00 shall be paid
with or secured promissory note from Tandem Health Care, Inc. to Seller (the Note Deposit);
provided, however, that Seller shall return the Note Deposit to Buyer upon Sellers receipt from
Buyer of evidence that Buyer has obtained binding commitments in the form of debt and equity financing
satisfactory to Buyer as set forth in Section 8.17. The Cash Deposit shall be deposited in an
interest bearing account, and all interest earned on the Cash Deposit shall belong to Buyer. The
Cash Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing. If the Closing does not
occur, the Cash Deposit shall be paid as follows: If Buyer does not close the Transaction with
4
Seller because of Buyers breach of the Agreement, or if Buyer does not obtain financing sufficient
to close the transaction, then Seller shall retain the Deposit. If the Seller beaches the
Agreement, or if the Closing does not occur for any other reason including, without limitation,
regulatory disapprovals, then the Deposit shall be returned in full, along with any accrued
interest, to the Buyer.
(b) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer, the total amount of the
Purchase Price less the Cash Deposit, which amount is equal to Eighty-One Million Five Hundred
Ninety Thousand Dollars ($81,590,000).
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 and the covenant not to compete set forth in
Section 10 consistent with the financing appraisal received by Buyer in accordance with Section
8.12 hereof, and, with respect to any allocation made to intangible
assets, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement
141, Appendix A. The parties agree that any tax 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.
In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted on the
Closing Date for any amounts which are due and payable by either party to the other on the Closing
Date or which are to become due and payable after the Closing Date which are attributable to
services or goods received or taxes associated with the period prior to Closing, and any amounts
which are paid prior to the Closing Date which are attributable to services or goods to be received
or taxes associated with the period subsequent to Closing, with respect to (i) the Contracts; (ii)
ad valorem taxes, if any, on the Assets; (iii) property taxes on the Assets; and (iv) utilities
(the Prorations).
2.4 Prorations.
The parties agree that the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) Intergovernmental
Transfer Agreement payment (Payment) related to the Assets for the period from July 1, 2004 to
June 30, 2005, shall be allocated on the basis of
calendar days prior to and after the Closing as between the Seller and Buyer. The party that
receives such payment shall remit the applicable pro rata share of such payment to the other party
within seventy-two (72) hours of receipt. To the extent not otherwise prorated pursuant to this
Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall prorate as of Closing power and other utility charges, real
estate and personal property lease payments, interest and real estate and personal property taxes,
plus all other income and expenses which are normally prorated upon the sale of assets of a
going concern, provided that once final invoices for such taxes are sent out by the taxing
authorities, Buyer and Seller shall adjust such prorations promptly to reflect the final amount of
taxes due. As to power and utility charges, final readings as of Closing will be ordered from the
utilities. Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposits paid to such utilities or such
deposits may be applied by
5
Seller to its payment pursuant to the preceding sentence. If any of the
aforesaid prorations cannot be calculated accurately on Closing (except for taxes which, if
necessary, shall be initially prorated at Closing using the prior years invoices with final
adjustment only after final invoices are delivered), then the same shall be calculated and payment
made within 60 days after Closing.
3. CLOSING

to Closing specified in Articles 8 and 9 hereof, the consummation of the transactions (the
