This CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT, dated as of November 28, 2006 (this “Agreement”), by and among National Home Health Care Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), AG Home Health Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Corp.”), AG Home Health LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Parent”), and Frederick Fialkow, an individual (“Fialkow”).
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Acquisition Corp. and Parent are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby Acquisition Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Corp. shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of such Merger;
WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are conditions to the Parent’s and Acquisition Corp.‘s obligations under the Merger Agreement to consummate the Merger;
WHEREAS, Fialkow desires to contribute to the Company on the Closing Date such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share, as is equal to Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00) divided by the Merger Consideration (the “Contributed Shares”), all on the terms and conditions set forth herein in exchange for a subordinated promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Subordinated Note”); and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived and the representations and warranties, conditions and promises herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Fialkow, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Corp. hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
TRANSACTION
1.1. Contributions. (a) On the Closing Date and with effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, Fialkow shall convey, contribute, transfer, assign and deliver, or cause to be conveyed, contributed, transferred, assigned and delivered, to the Company, and its successors and assigns forever, all of Fialkow’s right, title and interest in the Contributed Shares.
(b) The Company and Fialkow intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are to be treated for tax purposes in the following manner: (i) the Subordinated Note is to be treated as debt for tax purposes, (ii) Fialkow will not own any stock or any other interest
in the Company (other than the Subordinated Note) after the contribution being made hereunder, and (iii) Fialkow’s interest in the Company will be treated as completely redeemed in full by the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereunder so that Fialkow can take the position that the contribution of the Contributed Shares and transfer of the Subordinated Note is a transaction described in either Section 302(b)(2) or 302(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
1.2. Delivery of Contributed Shares. Fialkow shall obtain and deliver to the Company on the Closing Date (but prior to the Effective Time), where necessary, all notices, approvals, waivers and consents authorizing the transfer and assignment to the Company of the Contributed Shares. On the Closing Date (but immediately prior to the Effective Time), Fialkow shall deliver to the Company the certificates evidencing the Contributed Shares, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment endorsed in blank and dated the Closing Date, and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
1.3. Issuance of Subordinated Note. In exchange for the contribution to the Company of the Contributed Shares, on the Closing Date, Company shall issue to Fialkow the Subordinated Note.
