2.03 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Within thirty (30) days following the Execution Date, Purchaser will prepare in good faith the proposed valuation for Transfer Tax purposes (including pursuant to Section 9.04(b) and Section 9.04(e)) applicable to the Owned Facilities, the Pharmacy Location and any other Acquired Assets subject to a Transfer Tax payment obligation in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and provide such proposed valuation to Sellers’ Representative for the Sellers’ Representative’s review and comment; provided, however, that no such valuation shall affect the Facility Purchase Price or the Pharmacy Purchase Price. Sellers’ Representative shall notify Purchaser within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the proposed Transfer Tax valuation of any objections and/or comments of the Sellers’ Representative to the proposed Transfer Tax valuation, and Purchaser shall consider such objections and/or comments in good faith and consult with the Sellers’ Representative for final approval of the Transfer Tax valuation determination (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the Sellers’ Representative). The final Transfer Tax valuation shall be delivered by Purchaser to the Sellers’ Representative no later than ten (10) days prior to Closing.

Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser will provide a draft Tax Allocation to the Sellers’ Representative for the Sellers’ Representative’s review and comment. Sellers’ Representative shall notify Purchaser within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such draft Tax Allocation of any objections and/or comments the Sellers’ Representative has to the draft Tax Allocation, and Purchaser shall consider such objections and/or comments in good faith and consult with the Sellers’ Representative for final approval of the Tax Allocation (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the Sellers’ Representative). The Tax Allocation shall be revised from time to time to appropriately take into account any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and Purchaser shall timely deliver an amended Tax Allocation reflecting any such revisions, which revisions shall be subject to the procedures set forth in the preceding sentence. The Parties shall file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns consistent with the Tax Allocation, including any amended Tax Returns, and no Party shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Tax Allocation.

The Commitment and Title Policy shall show that each Seller has good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Land and Improvements owned by such Seller, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers shall remove, at Sellers’ cost and expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, all Mandatory Cure Items. The Title Policy may, at Purchaser’s election, also contain (i) a so-called “tax parcel endorsement” (ALTA Form 18.1) listing all of the tax parcel identification numbers affecting the Land and confirming that no other property is included in the Land and that no other tax parcel identification numbers affect such Land, (ii) a contiguity endorsement (ALTA Form 19), (iii) a zoning endorsement (ALTA Form 3.1) in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser, (iv) extended coverage deleting all standard and general exceptions, (v) the following endorsements: environmental (ALTA Form 8.2), restrictions, easements and minerals endorsement (ALTA Form 9.2), same as survey endorsement (ALTA Form 25), access endorsement (ALTA Form 17), subdivision endorsement (ALTA Form 26), utility facility endorsement (ALTA Form 17.2) and arbitration endorsement, and (vi) any other endorsements requested by Purchaser; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s election to obtain any of the forgoing shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to Closing and shall not be construed to require Sellers to incur any material cost or expense to deliver additional documents to obtain such elected coverages. At the Closing, subject to the fulfillment of the respective obligations of Sellers and Purchaser set forth herein, there shall be issued to Purchaser the Title Policies in the amount of the Purchase Price. Sellers agree to provide customary lien waivers, affidavits and/or undertakings, including the Owner’s Affidavits (as defined below), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sellers, in order to delete the applicable standard exceptions to the Title Policy.

(b) Survey. Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, may order an ALTA/NSPS as-built survey covering the Land (the “Survey”) accompanied by certificates of a registered surveyor licensed in the state in which the Land is located, certified as directed by Purchaser, sufficient to cause the Title Company to delete the standard printed survey exceptions. The Survey shall show (i) the boundaries of the Land; (ii) separate legal descriptions and boundaries for each tract of the Land; (iii) the location of the Improvements and all streets, highways, alleys and public ways crossing or abutting said Land; (iv) all dominant and servient easements identified by recording information; (v) all building lines and all Improvements as are situated thereon as of said date; (vi) the area of the Land in square feet; (vii) the location of all physical encroachments, if any, by or upon the Land and Improvements; (viii) the location of ingress and egress to and from or serving the Land; (ix) the location and identification of all water bodies and water courses on, abutting or serving the Land, whether incessant or intermittent; and (x) the location of all utilities serving the Land and the Improvements, and the point of entry of such utilities upon the Land.

(c) Other Reports. In addition to the Commitment and Survey, Purchaser may obtain, at Purchaser’s expense, such other reports as it may deem necessary, desirable or appropriate, including, without limitation, the following: (i) Phase I environmental site assessments and any other commercially reasonable environmental testing, sampling or evaluation of the Owned Facilities or the Waxhaw Facility (to the extent permitted by the owners thereof) reasonably based on findings in the Phase I environmental site assessments (the “Environmental Assessments”); (ii) a zoning report (the “Zoning Report”) for the Property, the Facilities, the Pharmacy Location and the WO Headquarters; and (iii) a property condition assessment report (the “Property Condition Report”) for the Property, the Facilities, the Pharmacy Location and the WO Headquarters. As of the Execution Date, Sellers have, for purposes of Purchaser’s due diligence, delivered and made available to Purchaser in an electronic data room or by physical delivery, known and reasonably obtainable copies of any previously prepared title policies, surveys, Environmental Assessments, Zoning Reports and Property Condition Reports in its possession, custody or control.

4.02 Title and Survey Objections.

Except as set forth in this Agreement, Sellers have elected not to cure the Defects. Except for Mandatory Cure Items, any and all matters of title of record and survey existing as of the Execution Date shall be deemed to become Permitted Exceptions.

If Sellers have elected to cure such Defects, then Sellers shall cure the Defects prior to the Closing Date at their sole cost and expense. Except for the Mandatory Cure Items (as defined below), the following shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions: (i) matters of record as of the Execution Date in the respective counties in which the Property is located; (ii) matters of survey in existence as of the Execution Date; (iii) any matters of zoning as such existed on the Execution Date; and (iv) all Defects which Sellers have elected not to cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall be obligated to terminate or cure any of the following at or prior to the Closing Date whether or not objected to by Purchaser, and in no event shall be deemed to have become Permitted Exceptions (collectively, “Mandatory Cure Items”):

A. all deeds of trust, mortgages, security deeds, UCC financing statements, security instruments, mechanics’ liens and other similar monetary liens in the name of a Seller which are not expired pursuant to applicable Law and which affect the Property or any part thereof;

B. all fines, past due Taxes or assessments of any kind in the name of a Seller which constitutes a Lien against the Property to the extent such assessments can be cured by the payment of money;

C. all judgments which have attached to and become a Lien against the Property or any part thereof;

D. that certain right of first refusal (the “Charleston ROFR”) reserved by and for the benefit of Trident Medical Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as successor-in-interest to North Trident Regional Hospital, Inc. (“Trident”) in that certain deed titled “Title to Real Estate” to White Oak Manor, Inc., dated October 24, 1988, and recorded on October 31, 1988, in Book 179, at Page 207 in the Office of the Register of Mesne Conveyance for Charleston County, South Carolina (the “Charleston Deed”), being a portion of Charleston County Parcel TMS #486-00-00-027, and that certain Option Agreement by and between the same parties effective on or about February 1, 1988 (the “Charleston Option Agreement”) referenced in the Charleston Deed, pursuant to which Sellers are obligated to obtain a waiver of the Charleston ROFR from Trident with respect to the applicable portion of the Property to be conveyed pursuant to this Agreement (the “ROFR Waiver”); provided, however, that in connection with Sellers obtaining the ROFR Waiver, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees as follows: (1) the Charleston ROFR only encumbers a portion of the Property on which the subject Facility is located; (2) in exchange for granting the ROFR Waiver, Trident may request that the Charleston ROFR be amended (as part of the ROFR Waiver or in a separate agreement) to include an adjacent parcel or parcels of land on which the subject Facility is located (the “Charleston Amendment”); and (3) Sellers may enter into the Charleston Amendment in order to obtain the ROFR Waiver, so long as the Charleston Amendment does not materially alter the obligations of Purchaser under the Charleston Deed or the Charleston Option Agreement, other than as stated above and provided, further, that Purchaser shall have the right to review and approve the ROFR Waiver prior to Sellers’ execution and any terms or conditions thereof in order to confirm that the foregoing stipulations have been satisfied; and

E. the following Defects, provided that Sellers’ obligation to cure each respective Defect is limited in all respects to such action or actions expressly set forth below:

1. With respect to that certain Commitment dated January 12, 2024, bearing commitment number NCS-1N4SSC09, incorporated by reference herein, the respective Seller shall provide written confirmation, in a form acceptable to Purchaser and the Title Company (which acceptance shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), that the improvements described in Exceptions 17 and 19, as set forth therein, have been completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is unable to obtain an estoppel statement from either entity comprising the Developer (as defined in the North Grove Covenants) despite such commercially reasonable efforts, then the respective Seller shall provide an estoppel statement to Purchaser stating that (a) there are no unpaid Assessments, as defined in the North Grove Covenants, which are then due and outstanding, and (b) to the respective Seller’s Knowledge, there are no violations by the respective Seller under the North Grove Covenants.

6. With respect to the exceptions contained in any Commitment which relate to the existence of a trust or lien created under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act of 1930 (7 U.S.C. §§499a, et seq.) or the Packers and Stockyards Act (7 U.S.C. §§181 et seq.), the respective Seller shall provide an affidavit, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and the Title Company to remove such exception from Purchaser’s final policy, provided that, regardless of the delivery of the foregoing affidavit, to the extent such exception is removed from the final policy, this Defect shall be deemed cured.

(b) If, prior to the Closing Date, any update to or amendment of the Commitment reflects any new title exception created after the Execution Date, or if the Survey is amended to reflect matters created after the Execution Date, then, as Purchaser’s sole remedy therefor, provided that such new exception is not the result of a willful violation of any covenant of Sellers contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have ten (10) calendar days from the date it receives any such updated Commitment or Survey disclosing the same to disapprove the same by written notice to Sellers (collectively, the “New Title Objections”). Upon timely delivery of the New Title Objections to Sellers, all references to the Title Objections in this Section 4.02 shall be deemed to apply to the New Title Objections and the terms of such provisions shall apply to such New Title Objections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to provide Purchaser and Sellers the time period provided for in this Section 4.02(b) to deliver the New Title Objections and related notices set forth in this Section 4.02 as applicable.

4.03 Access. From and after the Execution Date until the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement (pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), Sellers shall afford Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective agents, employees, representatives, consultants, advisors and contractors (collectively “Purchaser Representatives”), at Purchaser’s cost and expense and upon prior approval of Sellers’ Representative, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, reasonable access to the Property, the WO Headquarters, the Pharmacy Location or any Facility at mutually agreeable times during regular business hours, to investigate the Property, the Acquired Assets and the financial condition of Sellers, in furtherance of consummating the Transactions.

4.04 Residency Agreements. Purchaser or one or more of its Affiliate designees shall assume or be deemed to have assumed the Residency Agreements as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that such assumption shall pertain only to obligations that are to be performed by a Seller after the Effective Time and shall not include any assumption of any obligations related to or arising from any breach or violation by any Seller of a Residency Agreement prior to the Effective Time.

4.05 Assumed Contracts. Sellers shall use their best efforts to obtain any required consents of third parties to assign the Assumed Contracts on or before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any required consents to assignment relating to any of the Assumed Contracts have not been obtained by the Closing Date, neither this Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the Transactions will constitute an assignment or an agreement to assign if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach of an Assumed Contract; provided, however, that in each such case, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to obtain the consent to assignment from such third party, and Purchaser shall cooperate (at its own expense) in obtaining any such consent. If Sellers and Purchaser are not successful in obtaining a consent relating to any of the Assumed Contracts on or before the Closing Date, then (i) Sellers, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and the Assumed Contracts at issue, shall act after the Effective Time as Purchaser’s agent in order to obtain for Purchaser the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and such Assumed Contracts, with Purchaser in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser shall perform, at its sole expense, the obligations (to the extent such obligations would have been Assumed Liabilities had such Assumed Contracts been assigned at Closing) of Sellers to be performed after the Effective Time under the Assumed Contracts at issue and shall otherwise maintain all financial responsibility with respect to such arrangement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.05 limits in any way Sellers’ obligations to deliver those consents set forth on Schedule 9.02(b)(v) in connection with the Closing and the Sellers shall indemnify the Purchaser for any liabilities or obligations to the extent implementation of this Section 4.05 results in a breach or termination of an Assumed Contract.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING SELLERS

As of the Execution Date and as of the Closing Date (as evidenced by the Sellers’ certificate to be provided at Closing in accordance with Section 9.02(b)(iii)), Sellers, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Purchaser as of the Execution Date and the Closing Date that:

5.01 Organization. Each Seller is (a) duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of its jurisdiction of incorporation and (b) duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required by applicable Laws, except where the failure to so qualify would not be material to the White Oak Business, taken as a whole. Schedule 5.01 sets forth all jurisdictions in which each Seller is qualified to do business and each assumed business name or trade name, registered or unregistered, under which such Seller operates in each jurisdiction. Each Seller has made available to Purchaser true, complete and accurate copies of its articles of incorporation or articles of organization (as applicable), and its existing bylaws and other similar governing documents (the “Organizational Documents”).

5.02 Authority; Enforceability. Sellers individually or collectively possess all requisite corporate power and authority including required licenses, approvals and authority of all applicable Governmental Authorities legally necessary to own the Acquired Assets and to operate the Facilities, the Pharmacy Location, the WO Headquarters and the White Oak Business. Each Seller has the full corporate right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, as of the Closing Date, will have the full right, power and authority to enter into all other Transaction Documents contemplated hereby and to consummate the Transactions.

Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of a Seller is duly authorized to do so and to bind such Seller with respect thereto. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document is binding and enforceable against the Seller Parties (but only to the extent specifically applicable to the Owners as set forth in the Preamble) in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, modification or other Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

There are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities, exchangeable securities, subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights or other agreements that would require any Seller to issue, sell or otherwise cause to become outstanding any of its Equity Interests. Except as set forth in the Organizational Documents of Sellers, there are no voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting of Sellers’ respective Equity Interests. All of the Equity Interests of White Oak Manor and White Oak Pharmacy are held of record and beneficially by the Owners, as set forth on Schedule 5.03.

No Seller has any Liability for dividends or distributions that have been declared or accrued that have not been paid. White Oak Manor owns 100% of the Equity Interests of each Seller listed as a “Subsidiary” on Schedule 5.03 (collectively, the “WO Subsidiaries”). Except for the ownership by White Oak Manor of the WO Subsidiaries, no Seller owns or has any direct or indirect Equity Interest in any other Seller or any Person or is subject to any obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any equity or other securities in any Person.

In the event Sellers cease to offer any group health plan insurance coverage, such that Purchaser shall be deemed a “successor employer” under COBRA who becomes responsible for providing continuation coverage to all M&A Qualified Beneficiaries, Sellers shall (i) provide Purchaser at least 60 days advance written notice of such termination of all group health plan insurance coverage, (ii) provide Purchaser, at such time as the advance written notice, with a list of all M&A Qualified Beneficiaries and their demographic information (including, without limitation, name, address, social security number, and plan enrollment at time of termination) necessary for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations to offer COBRA continuation coverage, and (iii) cooperate as necessary to provide further information required for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations to offer COBRA continuation coverage. Sellers shall assign to Purchaser, or to an entity designated by Purchaser, all Seller Plans set forth on Schedule 1.01(w) and shall cooperate with Purchaser to provide necessary information and authorization to facilitate such assignment. In the event that the Seller Plan providing group health plan coverage is set forth on Schedule 1.01(w) and assigned pursuant to this Section 7.08(b), then Purchaser shall be liable for providing access to group health plan continuation coverage, including applicable notices, pursuant to the requirements of COBRA, to all M&A Qualified Beneficiaries (as that term is defined in Section 4980B of the Code and Title 6 of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder) other than the Continuing Employees and their spouses and dependents, and Seller shall cooperate as reasonably necessary so that Purchaser may satisfy all such obligations.

(d) For purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser providing benefits to Continuing Employees (the “Purchaser Plans”, and excluding equity or equity-based, defined benefit, deferred compensation, retiree health or welfare, long-term incentive, change in control and retention benefits), subject to applicable Law, Purchaser shall credit each Continuing Employee with his or her years of service with Sellers, and any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plan, provided, however, that no such service shall be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits under any similar employee benefit plan. Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) waive any pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting period requirements to the extent such requirement did not apply to such Continuing Employees under the corresponding Purchaser Plan as of the Closing Date, and (ii) credit such Continuing Employees for any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid under Purchaser’s group health Employee Plans in the year of initial participation in the Purchaser Plans.

(g) Following the Execution Date, if Purchaser requests, Sellers will reasonably cooperate with scheduling time (to begin no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date) at the Facilities, Pharmacy Location and the WO Headquarters for Purchaser to train the employees on Purchaser’s policies, procedures and computer and electronic medical records (“EMR”) network and systems.

(h) As soon as practicable following the most recent payroll date prior to Closing, Sellers shall provide a schedule (the “Employee Schedule”) setting forth the following information for each Employee as of the Closing Date: (i) the names of such Employees, (ii) their positions, original hire dates, full/part time status, rates of pay and whether they are on medical disability or leave of absence, and (iii) all accrued and vested or unvested vacation, PTO and sick-leave attributable to the Employees as of the Closing Date, irrespective of the termination of employment contemplated by this Agreement (the “Continuing Employees Accrued PTO Benefits”). At Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the Continuing Employees Accrued PTO Benefits. Upon receipt of such funds, Purchaser shall, at its option, assume the obligation to provide and/or pay the Continuing Employees Accrued PTO Benefits to all Continuing Employees. The aggregate payment by Sellers for the Continuing Employees Accrued PTO Benefits shall be reduced by a credit equal to the consideration owed by Purchaser for the Acquired Assets as set forth on Exhibit E.

(i) Sellers shall remain solely responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of any employees which relate to events occurring prior to the Effective Time.

(j) Upon reasonable advance written notice to Purchaser and at reasonable times that will not, in any material respect, interfere with or disrupt the business of Purchaser and its Affiliates, Purchaser agrees to provide Sellers with reasonable access, at Sellers’ sole expense, to the Continuing Employees after the Closing Date if necessary for Sellers’ defense of any professional liability or general liability litigation.

Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 7.08 shall not create any right in any Continuing Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Sellers or Purchaser or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be obligated to implement any alternative which, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, would violate applicable Law and/or pose material risk to its current operations or the future operations of the White Oak Business.

In the event that a Party fails to repay any such claims by any Health Care Program the non-responsible other Party or Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to seek reimbursement from the owing Party, provided that the non-responsible other Party made the repayment in full.

Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be responsible for notifying and providing to the other, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, any and all Audit notices for dates of service wherein the other Party is or was responsible for under applicable Law.

(e) by Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative upon written notice to the other, if the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents have not been consummated on or prior to September 3, 2024; provided, however, that the termination rights under this Section 10.01(e) shall not be available to any Party whose material breach of this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated by September 3, 2024; and provided, further, that such date may be extended by either the Seller Parties, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, for up to an additional thirty-one (31) days (to coincide with a calendar month end), without penalty, by delivery of written notice to the other Party in the event the only conditions to be satisfied are the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d), or Section 8.01(g) in the case of an extension by Purchaser, and the condition set forth in Section 8.02(d) or Section 8.02(f) in the case of an extension by the Seller Parties and the non-satisfaction of such condition is not principally the result of any action, inaction or delay of the notifying Party.

10.02 Seller Party Default. If, prior to the Closing, (i) any Seller shall have made any representation or warranty herein that is not a Sellers’ Fundamental Representation and that is or becomes untrue or inaccurate in any material respect and which, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any Seller shall have made any representation or warranty herein that is a Sellers’ Fundamental Representation and that is or becomes untrue or inaccurate except for de minimis inaccuracies, or (iii) any of the Seller Parties has breached any of the material covenants or obligations contained herein to be performed by the respective Seller Parties and such failure has resulted in an impairment or delay in the ability of the Seller Parties to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement in furtherance of the consummation of the Transactions, or has resulted or is reasonably certain to result in a Material Adverse Effect, then Purchaser shall give the Sellers’ Representative written notice specifying the nature of such default or breach (a “Seller Breach”). If Sellers or the Sellers Parties, as the case may be, fail to cure such Seller Breach within ten (10) Business Days following the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of written notice of such Seller Breach from Purchaser, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect to either: (a) proceed to Closing, notwithstanding such Seller Breach; (b) terminate this Agreement upon written notice thereof to the Sellers’ Representative and receive the Earnest Money Deposit as provided in Section 8.01; or (c) seek specific performance with respect to the Seller Parties’ obligations hereunder, and the Parties hereto agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance in such event; provided, however, that if specific performance is not available to Purchaser in such event as a remedy, then Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise its rights under clause (b) above.

10.03 Purchaser Default. If, prior to the Closing, (i) Purchaser shall have made any representation or warranty herein that is or becomes untrue or inaccurate, except for de minimis inaccuracies, and which, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in an impairment or delay in the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement in furtherance of the consummation of the Transactions, or (ii) Purchaser has breached any of the material covenants or obligations contained herein to be performed by Purchaser that has resulted in an impairment or delay in the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement in furtherance of the consummation of the Transactions, then the Sellers’ Representative shall give Purchaser written notice specifying the nature of such default or breach (a “Purchaser Breach”). If Purchaser fails to cure such Purchaser Breach within ten (10) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such Purchaser Breach from the Sellers’ Representative, then the Seller Parties, as their sole and exclusive remedy as liquidated damages, may terminate this Agreement upon written notice thereof to Purchaser and receive the Earnest Money Deposit.

10.04 Casualty. If, prior to the Closing, any of the Owned Facilities or the Pharmacy Location are individually or in the aggregate is materially damaged by fire or other casualty or a condemnation or taking occurs, Sellers shall in good faith estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete such repair and will provide Purchaser written notice of Sellers’ estimation together with such supporting documentation as is in the possession or control of Sellers that would inform Purchaser of the extent of the damage and cost to repair the same (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the casualty. If the event of such a casualty event that results in material damage to any Facilities or the Pharmacy Location, individually or in the aggregate, Purchaser may, at its option, either

(a) terminate this entire Agreement by delivering written notice to the Sellers’ Representative on or before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date Sellers deliver the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing shall be extended to give the Parties the full fifteen (15) day period to make such election and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Sellers’ insurers), in which event the Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder related to this Agreement except as expressly survive the termination hereof, or (b) if Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement within said fifteen (15) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon at the Closing Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of Sellers’ rights with respect to such casualty insurance proceeds under Sellers’ insurance policy. Failure of Purchaser to properly and timely give notice of termination shall mean that Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement with respect to any such casualty at any Facility, the Pharmacy Location, or the WO Headquarters, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (b) above. If no Facility nor the Pharmacy Location nor the WO Headquarters is materially damaged, then the Parties shall proceed under this Agreement in the same manner as described in clause (b) above. “Material” for purposes of this Section 10.04 means an amount to repair equal to Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000). Failure of Purchaser to exercise any right under this Section 10.04 shall not affect or impair any other right of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement expressly provided for in this Agreement.

All covenants and agreements set forth herein shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by their terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if written notice of any claim for indemnification hereunder has been delivered in accordance herewith prior to the expiration of the applicable period set forth above, the indemnification obligations shall continue with respect to such claim until the final resolution and satisfaction of such claim in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11, and the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses incurred in respect of such claim (subject to any applicable limitations herein), regardless of when such Losses are incurred.

11.04 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Following the Closing, except for specific performance relief and other damages as contemplated by Section 7.06, Section 7.07 and Article 10 hereof, the right to obtain indemnification pursuant to this Article 11 and the R&W Policy shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants to be performed prior to or concurrently with the Closing that are set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither (i) breaches of any covenants of the Seller Parties, including the Owners, to be performed after the Closing Date nor (ii) any Fraud of a Seller Party shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 11.04(a) and (ii) none of the limitations and restrictions (including time for asserting claims) on indemnification set forth in this Article 11 shall affect the rights of Purchaser Indemnified Parties to make claims under the R&W Policy, which rights shall be governed solely thereby.

(b) Sellers shall not be liable for any Indemnified Losses until the aggregate amount of all Indemnified Losses in respect of such indemnifications exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Basket”), in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover the amount of Indemnified Losses in excess of the Basket. The limitations set forth in this Section 11.04(b) shall not apply to any Indemnified Losses arising from or related to (i) any breach of any Sellers’ Fundamental Representation, (ii) Section 11.01(h), (iii) Section 11.01(j), (v) any breach of any covenants of the Seller Parties to be performed after the Closing Date or (vi) any Fraud of a Seller Party.

For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts recovered by Purchaser under the R&W Policy will be included in determining or limiting Sellers’ aggregate indemnification obligations subject to the Cap; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to double recovery for Indemnified Losses that are satisfied under the R&W Policy.

(d) Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under this Article 11 shall not exceed the Cap. The limitations set forth in this Section 11.04(d) shall not apply to any Indemnified Losses arising from or related to: (i) any breach of any covenants of Purchaser to be performed after the Closing Date; or (ii) to any Fraud of Purchaser.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall, in any event, be liable to any Indemnified Parties for any punitive damages (collectively, “Special Damages”) of such Indemnified Party (except to the extent of Special Damages awarded to a third party).

(f) Indemnified Losses recoverable under this Article 11 shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any recovery that any Indemnifying Party actually receives under any insurance coverage that any such Indemnifying Party may have with respect to the matter(s) relating to such Indemnified Losses, and (ii) the amount of any recovery that any Indemnifying Party actually receives from any third party with respect to the matter(s) relating to such Indemnified Losses. To the extent that insurance proceeds are collected after amounts have been paid by the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim, such amount not to exceed the amount paid to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim (net of any deductible paid by the Indemnifying Parties and any other costs of recovery).

(g) Subject to the other limitations set forth herein, including the application of the Basket, any amounts owing to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties as a result of any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement shall be paid or satisfied as follows: (i) first from the Indemnification Escrow Funds, up to the amount equal to the retention amount under the R&W Policy (which amount paid for the retention shall be counted towards the Cap); (ii) second, under and in accordance with the terms of the R&W Policy, including subject to any exclusions therein; (iii) third, from the Indemnification Escrow Funds, if and to the extent available; and (iv) fourth, from the Sellers jointly and severally up to the Cap except to the extent of applicability of any of the Cap Carve- Outs set forth in Section 11.04(c), then up to the Purchase Price amount.

(h) No Seller shall be liable under this Article 11 for any Indemnified Loss resulting from or relating to any inaccuracy or breach of any Seller’s representation or warranty in this Agreement if there was Purchaser’s Knowledge of such breach or inaccuracy before the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.04(h) shall not be deemed to impair, waive or limit: (i) any right of recovery available to Purchaser under the R&W Policy for any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties made by any Seller in this Agreement, including: (A) for any such breach or inaccuracy that existed prior to the Execution Date and was unknown by Purchaser until after the Execution Date or (B) for any such breach or inaccuracy that comes into existence after the Execution Date that was unknown by Purchaser as of the Closing; or (ii) any other rights of Purchaser available under this Agreement other than under this Article 11.

11.05 Claims.

(a) In the event that either the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) and seeks to exercise its rights to obtain indemnification for Indemnified Loss, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver a notice (the “Indemnification Demand”) to the indemnifying party (“Indemnifying Party”): (i) specifying in reasonable detail the matters giving rise to the claimed Indemnified Losses and the applicable provisions of this Agreement that have been breached by such matters; (ii) stating the amount of Indemnified Losses (to the extent then known); and (iii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items included in the claimed Indemnified Losses and the date each such item was paid, properly accrued, or arose.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of the Indemnification Demand, deliver a written notice to the Indemnified Party stating either that (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees it is liable for the claimed Indemnified Losses, or (ii) objecting in reasonable detail to such Indemnification Demand. If the Indemnifying Party shall agree to be liable for the Indemnified Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay Indemnified Party the amount of the claimed Indemnified Losses. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have consented to such Indemnification Demand.

(c) In case the Indemnifying Party shall object to any claim by the Indemnified Party in an Indemnification Demand, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith, using commercially reasonable efforts, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days commencing on the date of such objection to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims in the Indemnification Demand. If the parties should so agree, the claims set forth in the Indemnification Demand shall be modified as necessary to reflect such agreement, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount reflected in such agreement.

(d) In the event of any Claim brought by a third party against any Indemnified Party which is covered by the indemnification provisions of Section 11.01 or Section 11.02 (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party, on behalf of the Indemnified Party, shall have the right to elect to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel engaged by Indemnifying Party (unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim or (iii) such Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal Claim or any Claim by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws). In the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as to the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which indemnification is required hereunder, the Indemnified Party may engage counsel of its own choice to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party).

(e) If the Indemnifying Party has the right to and does elect to defend any Third-Party Claim, Indemnifying Party shall: (i) conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim actively and diligently and keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of material developments in the Third-Party Claim at all stages thereof, and (ii) to the extent practicable, permit the Indemnified Party and its counsel to confer with the Indemnifying Party regarding the conduct of the defense thereof. Each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (at their respective expense ) shall render to the other party such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not have an obligation to disclose any information or documents that are proprietary, subject to confidentiality restrictions (unless the recipient of such information signs a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the disclosing Indemnified Party) or privileged (including pursuant to any attorney-client privilege).

(f) If the Indemnifying Party has the right to and does elect to defend any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to enter into any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, provided that (i) such settlement does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or the contractual equivalent thereof binding upon the Indemnified Party, (ii) such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all Indemnified Losses and obligations with respect to such claim, with prejudice, and (iii) such settlement does not include an admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party.

11.06 Materiality. Under this Article 11, for purposes of determining the existence of a breach of a representation or warranty and for calculating the amount of Indemnified Losses with respect thereto all “Material Adverse Effect”, “in all material respects”, and other materiality qualifications (collectively, “Materiality Qualifiers”) shall be ignored and each representation and warranty of any Seller shall be read and interpreted without regard to any Materiality Qualifier.

11.07 Additional Indemnification Provisions. Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable measures to seek recovery under the R&W Policy for bona fide claims, but Purchaser shall have no obligation to initiate any judicial proceeding or arbitration proceeding against the R&W Insurance Policy Carrier or to expend materially substantial sums to contest any denial of coverage by the R&W Insurance Policy Carrier. Nothing in this Article 11 shall (a) preclude Purchaser from entering into a reasonable settlement with the R&W Insurance Policy Carrier of a disputed claim for coverage under the R&W Policy or (b) require Purchaser to take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser’s coverage under the R&W Policy. Legal fees and other costs incurred by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 11.07 will constitute Indemnified Losses to the extent applicable under this Article 11.

ARTICLE 12.

12.16 Disclosure Schedules. The disclosure schedules attached hereto (including the attachments thereto) and captioned as “Disclosure Schedules” (the “Disclosure Schedules”) are incorporated herein and expressly made a part of this Agreement as though completely set forth herein. Information furnished in any particular Disclosure Schedule or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be included in any other Disclosure Schedule or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules in which the information is required to be included, provided that the relevance of such information to such additional Disclosure Schedule or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules is reasonably apparent on its face. No disclosure of any matter contained in the Disclosure Schedules shall create an implication that such matter meets any standard of materiality (matters reflected in a Disclosure Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in such Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules; such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature, nor shall the inclusion of any item be construed as implying that any such item is “material” for any purpose). From time to time prior to the Closing Date, Sellers will promptly supplement or amend the respective Disclosure Schedules which Sellers have delivered pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any matter arising which, if existing or occurring at the Execution Date, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedules or which is necessary to materially correct any information in the Disclosure Schedules which has been rendered materially inaccurate by the passage of time or otherwise. Such disclosures will not, in and of themselves, and solely by virtue of any such disclosure (a) constitute an acknowledgment by any Sellers of a breach of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or (b) cure any breach of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the rights of, or the remedies available to, any Party to this Agreement arising in the event of any such breach.

12.17 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Sellers’ Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for such Seller Party, with full power and authority to represent such Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and assigns with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and all actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement or the Indemnification Escrow Agreement will be binding upon each Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and assigns as if expressly ratified and confirmed in writing by them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Seller Party and such Seller Party’s successors and assigns, to (i) give and receive notices and communications for and on behalf of Seller Parties, (ii) execute and deliver all documents and agreements contemplated by this Agreement, each with such additions, modifications or deletions as the Sellers’ Representative may deem necessary or advisable and appropriate, and to consummate all of the transactions contemplated in accordance therewith, (iii) agree to, negotiate and enter into, on behalf of the Seller Parties, any amendments, consents and waivers under this Agreement and any documents and agreements contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms set forth herein and therein, (iv) make and receive payments on behalf of the Seller Parties pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement and any documents and agreements contemplated hereby, (v) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (vi) take such actions required to administer the provisions this Agreement and all documents and agreements contemplated hereby, (vii) dispute or fail to dispute any Third-Party Claim or other claim under this Agreement or the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, (viii) negotiate and compromise any dispute that may arise under this Agreement or the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, and sign any releases or other documents with respect to any such dispute, and (ix) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Sellers’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Each Seller Party will be deemed a party or a signatory to any agreement, document, instrument, or certificate for which the Sellers’ Representative signs on behalf of such Seller Party; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative will not have the power or authority to execute an Employment Agreement for, or on behalf of, any Seller Party. All decisions, actions and instructions by the Sellers’ Representative will be conclusive and binding on each Seller Party and no Seller Party shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(b) The Seller Parties will pay, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser and its members, shareholders, partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any Losses that they may suffer or sustain as the result of any claim by any Person that an action taken by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of any Seller Party is not binding on, or enforceable against, any Seller Party. Purchaser has the right to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Sellers’ Representative as to any actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, and no Party will have any cause of action against Purchaser for any action taken by Purchaser in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Sellers’ Representative.

(c) The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative is an agency coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, and any action taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 12.17 is effective and absolutely binding on each Seller Party notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from any Seller Party. The death or incapacity, or dissolution or other termination of existence, of any Seller Party does not terminate the authority and agency of the Sellers’ Representative (or successor thereto). The provisions of this Section 12.17 are binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successors of each Seller Party, and any references in this Agreement to any Seller Party means and includes the successors to such Seller Party’s rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise. No Seller Party has any right to assert, defend or otherwise pursue any claims under Article 12 (it being understood that all such claims may be brought only by the Sellers’ Representative), and Purchaser shall have no obligation to acknowledge the rights of any Seller hereunder except through exclusive interaction with the Sellers’ Representative.

(d) Promptly following the release of any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount to the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative will cause such escrowed funds to be disbursed and paid to the appropriate Persons.

(e) Each Seller Party hereby forever releases and discharges the Sellers’ Representative from any Liability which may arise in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s performance in good faith and any acts or omissions which the Sellers’ Representative takes on behalf of the Seller Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.17, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative. Each Seller Party hereby agrees to indemnify and to save and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from any Liability incurred by the Sellers’ Representative based upon or arising out of any act, whether of omission or commission, of the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the authority herein granted, other than acts, whether of omission or commission, of the Sellers’ Representative that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct in the exercise by the Sellers’ Representative of the authority granted by this Section 12.17. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Sellers’ Representative to Liability to the Seller Parties.

(f) Nothing set forth in this Section 12.17 will alter or affect, or be deemed or construed to alter or affect, the obligation of Sellers to pay any Indemnified Losses due to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Article 11.
