ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

1.1 Transfer of Purchased Assets .

     (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing each Seller shall sell, lease, convey, assign, license, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances identified on Schedule 5.10(b) hereto, and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from each Seller, all of the right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets included on Schedule 1.1 , wherever located (collectively, the “ Purchased Assets ”).

     (b) In the event the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, license or transfer of any of the Permits listed on Schedule 1.1 (collectively referred to herein as the “ Assigned Permits ”) is unlawful or is not permissible under any agreement or under any Law, such terms for the purposes of this Agreement with respect to any such Assigned Permits shall be deemed to mean and require (i) the applicable Seller’s relinquishment of all of its right, title, benefit and interest in and to and authority under, such Assigned Permits as of the Closing and (ii) the issuance or grant to Purchaser by the appropriate Governmental Entity or other third Person of a Permit conferring upon Purchaser, as of the Closing, all right, title, benefit, interest and authority at least equal to that relinquished by such Seller, as the case may be, including the right, authority and approval for Purchaser to own and operate the Facilities and the other Purchased Assets from and after the Closing in the same manner as the Sellers prior to the Closing. For clarification purposes, the parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by Law, Purchaser shall have the option to acquire or assume any Seller’s Medicare or Medicaid provider numbers used in the operation of the Facilities or the conduct of the Business or submit an application for new Medicare and Medicaid provider numbers with respect to the operation of the Facilities or the conduct of the Business after the Closing.

1.2 Assets Not Being Transferred .

     Except for the Purchased Assets, on the Closing Date, the Sellers are not selling, leasing, conveying, assigning, licensing, transferring or delivering to Purchaser, and Purchaser is not purchasing or acquiring any other Assets of the Sellers, including any of the Assets listed on Schedule 1.2 .

1.3 Further Assurances .

     Each Seller shall and shall cause each Seller Subsidiary to, at any time and from time to time during the period from and after the Closing until the later of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) such time as all consents of any Governmental Entity or other third Person to the assignment of the Assigned Contracts and Assigned Permits have been obtained, upon the request of Purchaser, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney or assurances as may be reasonably required to sell, lease, convey, assign, license, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, or to aid and assist in the collection of or reducing to possession by Purchaser, of the applicable Purchased Assets, or to vest in Purchaser good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances identified on Schedule 5.10(b) .

1.4 Assignment of Contracts, Permits, Rights, Etc.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement or attempted agreement to transfer, sublease or assign any Assigned Contract (as defined below), any Assigned Permit or Proceeding or right with respect to any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted transfer, sublease or assignment thereof, without the required consent of any other party thereto or of any Governmental Entity or other third Person, would constitute a breach thereof or in any way affect the rights of Purchaser or any Seller thereunder or is unlawful or is not permissible under any agreement or under any Law.

     (b) The parties understand and agree that, without limiting any representation, warranty, condition, or indemnification contained in this Agreement, if, as of the Closing, the Sellers shall not have effectively obtained any or all consents of any third Person set forth on Schedule 5.3 to the assignment of any of the New Management Agreements or any other Contract that is listed on Schedule 1.1 as one of the Purchased Assets to be assigned to Purchaser hereunder (collectively referred to herein as the “ Assigned Contracts ”), in respect of which such third Person’s consent to assign is required in order to preserve the value of such Assigned Contract for Purchaser or otherwise, then the assignment by the applicable Seller and the assumption by Purchaser of such Assigned Contract shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, not become effective at the Closing or thereafter until the applicable Seller shall have obtained the requisite consent (which such Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain, together with the cooperation of Purchaser), and such assignment and assumption shall become effective as aforesaid subsequent to the Closing pursuant to such documentation as shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and the applicable Seller; and the Sellers shall and shall cause their respective Seller Subsidiaries to not take or permit any action

3


 

which would impair the full force and effect of any such Assigned Contract, or otherwise cause or permit the modification, amendment, or termination of any such Assigned Contract (except insofar as consented to in writing by Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) until the effective assignment thereof as aforesaid. The parties understand and agree that the Sellers, subsequent to the Closing, shall not be entitled to any of the rights and privileges under any Assigned Contract, all of which shall accrue to the benefit of Purchaser, and the Sellers shall be deemed to hold any Assigned Contracts subject to this Section 1.4(b) in trust for Purchaser. To the extent, and only to the extent, that Purchaser is able to receive the economic rights and privileges under an Assigned Contract, Purchaser shall be responsible for the Assumed Liabilities, if any, arising under such Assigned Contract. To the extent any Seller is unable to keep an Assigned Contract in full force and effect and to otherwise enable Purchaser to receive the economic rights and privileges under an Assigned Contract in accordance with the foregoing because the Sellers have transferred to Purchaser certain Assets that are reasonably necessary for the performance by such Seller of such Assigned Contract, then Purchaser shall perform such Seller’s obligations under such Assigned Contract using such Assets or otherwise as an independent contractor to such Seller at no additional cost to such Seller. The Sellers shall jointly and severally pay and discharge, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against, any and all costs, expenses and other Losses of seeking to obtain or obtaining any consent or approval of any third Person set forth on Schedule 5.3 , whether before or after the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 1.4 shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of its right to have received at the Closing an effective assignment of all of the Assigned Contracts and other Purchased Assets nor shall this Section 1.4 be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Purchased Assets any of the Assets listed on Schedule 1.1 .

ARTICLE II
ASSUMED OBLIGATIONS; EXCLUDED OBLIGATIONS

2.1 Liabilities Being Assumed at Closing .

     On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, simultaneously with the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, license, transfer and delivery to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets at the Closing, Purchaser shall assume only the Liabilities of each of the Sellers listed on Schedule 2.1 (collectively, the “ Assumed Liabilities ”).

2.2 Liabilities Not Being Assumed .

     NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY RELATED DOCUMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES ASSUMED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.1 , PURCHASER SHALL NOT ASSUME, PAY, BEAR, PERFORM OR DISCHARGE ANY LIABILITIES OF THE SELLERS, THE TRUST OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES (INCLUDING ANY SELLER SUBSIDIARY) WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR THE BUSINESS OR ANY OTHER BUSINESS OF THE SELLERS, THE TRUST OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES (INCLUDING ANY SELLER SUBSIDIARY), AND WHETHER ARISING OR ASSERTED BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING, INCLUDING ANY OF THE LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS LISTED ON
