1.5

the Assets shall be (i) $500,000.00; plus (ii) the amount of the Net Working Capital (as defined in Section 1.6(a))
as of the Effective Time. The Purchase Price shall be calculated as of the Closing based upon the estimated Net Working Capital
(as determined in accordance with Section 1.6(b)).


 


(a)
The Purchase Price will be paid and satisfied as follows: Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Buyer
will pay to Jellico Community Hospital, Inc. by wire transfer to the bank account of Jellico Community Hospital, Inc., the sum
of $50,000.00 (hereinafter, in this section, called the “Deposit”) as a deposit. The Deposit will held by Jellico
Community Hospital, Inc. and will be dealt with in accordance with the following provisions: (i) if the Closing as contemplated
by this Agreement is consummated, the Deposit will be applied toward satisfaction of the Purchase Price; (ii) if the Closing is
not completed because any of the conditions to Closing set out in Article 7 of this Agreement are not met (unless the failure
results primarily from Buyer breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant herein), the Deposit shall be returned to the
Buyer; (iii) if the Closing is not completed for any other reason, then the Deposit will be forfeited and retained by Jellico
Community Hospital, Inc. Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price less the Deposit to Sellers at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by Sellers. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted after the Closing in accordance with
Section 1.6 to reflect the actual Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with Section
1.6(b)).


 


1.6
Net Working Capital, Estimates and Audits.


 


(a)
Net Working Capital. As used herein, the term “Net Working Capital” shall mean the value of Purchased Inventory,
minus accrued liabilities for vacation and holiday benefits for employees of Sellers who are hired by Buyer (the “Employee
Accrual”); provided, however, that in no event shall Net Working Capital be less than $0.00.


 




    	 	- 6 -	 



     


    

 


(b)
Estimates and Adjustments. At least three (3) business days prior to Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a reasonable
estimate of the Employee Accrual containing reasonable detail and supporting documents showing the derivation of such estimate.
The inventory shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.7 below. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Sellers
shall deliver to Buyer their determination of the actual Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (using the method set forth
in Section 1.7 to determine the value of the inventory). Each party shall have full access to the financial books and records
pertaining to the Hospital to confirm or audit Net Working Capital computations. Should Buyer disagree with Sellers’ determination
of actual Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time, Buyer shall notify Sellers within thirty (30) days after Sellers’
delivery of Sellers’ determination of Net Working Capital. If Sellers and Buyer fail to agree within thirty (30) days after
Buyer’s delivery of notice of disagreement on the amount of Net Working Capital, such disagreement shall be resolved in
accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 1.6(c), which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for resolving accounting
disputes relative to the determination of Net Working Capital. The Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased based on actual
Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time, and within five (5) business days after determination thereof any increase shall
be paid in cash by Buyer to Sellers, and any decrease shall be paid in cash to Buyer by Sellers.


 


(c)
Dispute of Adjustments. In the event that Sellers and Buyer are not able to agree on the actual Net Working Capital within
thirty (30) days after Buyer’s delivery of notice of disagreement, Sellers and Buyer shall each have the right to require
that such disputed determination be submitted to Pershing, Yoakley & Associates, PC (“PYA”) for computation or
verification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. PYA shall review the matters in dispute and, acting as arbitrators,
shall promptly decide the proper amounts of such disputed entries (which decision shall also include a final calculation of Net
Working Capital). The submission of the disputed matter to PYA shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving accounting disputes
relative to the determination of Net Working Capital. PYA’s determination shall be binding upon Sellers and Buyer, absent
fraud or manifest error. PYA’s fees and expenses shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyer.


 


(d)
Tax Treatment. For income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law, Buyer and Sellers agree to treat
all payments made under this Section 1.6 (other than the fees and expenses of PYA) as adjustments to the Purchase Price.


 


1.7
Physical Inventory. Based on the physical inventory of the supplies and
pharmaceuticals of the Sellers that was conducted on January 28-30, 2019, as adjusted to remove any items related to the Sellers’
discontinued labor and delivery services and expired items (said supplies and inventory, as adjusted, is herein the “Purchased
Inventory”), the parties agree that the value of the Purchased Inventory is $349,336.19 (the “Value of the Inventory”);
provided, however, that Buyer shall have the opportunity to confirm the existence of such Purchased Inventory within the three
(3) business days prior to Closing. At Closing, the amount of the Value of Inventory shall be increased or decreased, as appropriate,
to reflect (i) the value of any additions to, or the value of any deletions from, the inventory between the date of Sellers’
physical inventory by Buyer and the Closing Date, and (ii) any items related to the Sellers’ discontinued labor and delivery
services and expired items not previously removed from the calculation of the Purchased Inventory.

1.8
Transition Patients. To compensate Sellers for services rendered and medicine,
drugs and supplies provided prior to the Effective Time (the “Transition Services”) with respect to patients who are
admitted to the Hospital prior to the Effective Time but who are not discharged until on or after the Effective Time (such patients
being referred to herein as the “Transition Patients”), the parties shall take the following actions:


 


(a)
Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS/TRICARE and Other DRG Transition Patients. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date,
Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement itemizing the Transition Services provided by Sellers to patients whose medical care
is paid for, in whole or in part, by Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS/TRICARE, Blue Cross or any other third party payer who pays on
a DRG, case rate or other similar basis (the “DRG Transition Patients”). Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal
to (i) the total reimbursement (including DRG, outlier payments, disproportionate share payments, capital and any deposits, deductibles
or co-payments received by Buyer) per the remittance advice received by Buyer on behalf of a DRG Transition Patient, multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total charges for the Transition Services provided to such DRG Transition Patient
by Sellers prior to the Effective Time, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total charges for all services provided
to such DRG Transition Patient both prior to and after the Effective Time, minus (ii) any deposits, deductibles or co-payments
made by such DRG Transition Patients to Seller prior to the Effective Time. Sellers shall provide Buyer with all information required
to properly bill the DRG Transition Patients for the Transition Services, including the information described in (ii) above.


 


(b)
Other Patients. As of the Effective Time, Sellers shall prepare and send cut-off billings for all patients not covered
by Section 1.8(a).


 


(c)
Remittances (Including PIP or Pass-Through Payments). If Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives or collects any funds
(whether from patients, third-party payors, governmental entities, group purchasing organizations, suppliers, or any other individual
or entity) relating to any of the Excluded Assets, any accounts receivable related to services rendered by Seller prior to the
Effective Time, or any other funds attributable to the operation of the Hospital prior to the Effective Time (including, without
limitation, amounts from the Medicare program for periodic interim payments (“PIP”) or costs paid for on a pass-through
basis, such as capital costs, associated with the operation of the Hospital prior to the Effective Time), then in any such event,
Buyer shall tender the amount applicable to the Excluded Assets or the period prior to the Effective Time to Sellers within ten
(10) business days of receipt. If Sellers or any of their Affiliates receives or collects any funds (whether from patients, third-party
payors, governmental entities, group purchasing organizations, suppliers, or any other individual or entity) relating to any of
the Assets, any accounts receivable related to services rendered by Buyer subsequent to the Effective Time, or any other funds
attributable to the operation of the Hospital subsequent to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, amounts from the
Medicare program for PIP or pass-through costs, such as capital costs, associated with the operation of the Hospital subsequent
to the Effective Time), then in any such event, Sellers shall tender the amount applicable to the Assets or the period subsequent
to the Effective Time to Buyer within ten (10) business days of receipt. It is the intent of the parties that each of Buyer and
Sellers shall receive such funds (including, without limitation, PIP payments and pass-through costs payments, including capital
costs) as are applicable to the period of time the Hospital was or is operated by such party.


 


(d)
Timing; Dispute Resolution. All payments required by this Section 1.8 shall be made within ten (10) business days
of the applicable party’s receipt of payment with respect to a Transition Patient, accompanied by copies of remittances
and other supporting documentation as reasonably required by Sellers. In the event that Buyer and Sellers are unable to agree
on any amount to be paid under this Section 1.8, then such amount shall be determined by PYA at the parties’ joint
expense.

1.9
Meaningful Use Funds.


 


(a)
Matters Relating to Pre-Effective Time Meaningful Use Funds. Sellers or CHC (or an Affiliate of CHC) shall be responsible
for preparing, certifying and attesting for meaningful use payments (“MU Payments”) under the Health Information Technology
for Economic and Clinical Health Act in respect of the Hospital relating to periods ending on or prior to the Effective Time (“Pre-Effective
Time Periods”), and Sellers shall be entitled to any such MU Payments relating to Pre-Effective Time Periods. Buyer shall
pay to Sellers any amount received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in respect of such MU Payments relating to Pre-Effective
Time Periods within ten (10) days of receipt thereof by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.


 


(b)
Matters Relating to Post-Effective Time Meaningful Use Funds. Buyer shall be responsible for preparing, certifying and
attesting for MU Payments in respect of the Hospital relating to periods ending after the Effective Time (“Post-Effective

pay to Buyer any amount received by Sellers or any of their Affiliates in respect of such MU Payments relating to Post-Effective
Time Periods within ten (10) days of receipt thereof by Sellers or any of their Affiliates.


 


(c)
Straddle Periods. For purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, if the measurement period for a MU Payment that includes
the Closing Date does not terminate prior to the Effective Time (a “Straddle Period”), then the MU Payment for the
Straddle Period shall be allocated between Seller and Buyer in the following manner: (i) Sellers shall be entitled to receive
the portion of the MU Payment attributable to the period prior to the Effective Time, which shall equal the MU Payment for the
entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period prior
to the Effective Time and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) Buyer shall be
entitled to receive the portion of the MU Payment attributable to the period following the Effective Time, which shall equal the
MU Payment for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in the
Straddle Period from the Effective Time to the end of the Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the total number of
days in the Straddle Period.


 


(d)
MU Payment Reconciliation. The parties agree that, in the event of a determination by any governmental payor that MU Payments
previously received by the parties are adjusted or otherwise revised, the repayment (in case of a reduction of MU Payments previously
made) or receipt (in case of an increase of MU Payments previously made) of funds relating to prior MU Payments shall, notwithstanding
the prior settlement of the MU Payments in accordance with this Section 1.9, be reconciled and remitted, with reasonable
promptness, to the appropriate party based on the application of this Section 1.9 to such adjustment to the MU Payments.


 




    	 	- 9 -	 



     


    

 


(e)
Late Payments. In the event that any payment required to be made hereunder is not made within the time period required
by this Section 1.9, the party obligated to make such payment shall also be obligated to pay interest on such payment from
the date such payment should have been made to the date of payment at the rate of interest equal to 200 basis points over the
prime rate as quoted in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal from time to time.


 


1.10
Prorations. Except as otherwise provided herein (for example, in the determination of Net Working
Capital) or as settled at the Closing, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (hereinafter defined), Seller and Buyer
shall prorate as of the Effective Time any amounts which become due and payable on or after the Closing Date with respect to (i)
the Contracts, (ii) real or personal property Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Assets for any taxable period that begins
before and ends after the Closing Date, and (iii) all utilities servicing any of the Assets, including water, sewer, telephone,
electricity and gas service. Any such amounts which are not available within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date shall be
similarly prorated as soon as practicable thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, all Taxes (including real property and personal
property Taxes) imposed on or with respect to the Assets for taxable periods ending prior to the Closing Date shall be solely
the responsibility of Seller.

authorizations. Any patient record so removed from the Hospital shall be promptly returned to Buyer following its use by Sellers.

for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services
rendered prior to the Effective Time and Buyer shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions)
if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered after the Effective Time. In the event that, following

or their respective Affiliates to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or Buyer benefit plan at any time, or (v) create any right

qualified retirement programs for such employees, Buyer shall recognize the years of service of such employees and shall provide
credit under such plans for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual); provided, however, that
no such credit need be given in respect of any new plan commenced or participated in by Buyer in which no prior service credit
is given or recognized to or for other plan beneficiaries. In extending such benefits, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable
efforts, subject to the consent of the applicable insurer, to waive pre-existing conditions limitations in Buyer’s welfare
benefit plans which might otherwise apply to such employees except to the extent employees have not satisfied such limitations
under the current welfare benefit plans of Sellers. Buyer shall give credit to all hired employees for their actual accumulated

at or prior to the Closing one or more limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

in form mutually acceptable.

10.16
Use of Excluded Marks. As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall take all action necessary to change the names of the Hospital
and the Assets so as not to include the Excluded Marks; provided, however, Sellers or their assigns, from and after the Closing,
shall grant a nonexclusive license to Buyer and its successors and assigns to use (a) durable personal property items, within
the Hospital, containing the Excluded Marks (such as bed sheets, laundry and cafeteria trays) through the useful life of such
durable personal property, (b) any signage or advertisements containing the Excluded Marks on the exterior of the Hospital or
in other locations for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing, (c) any existing advertisements and listings in telephone
directories for a period not to exceed the date the next such directory is published, and (d) any proprietary manuals, policy
and procedures manuals, and standard operating procedures for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days. Buyer shall
not use the Excluded Marks in connection with any personal property acquired by Buyer after the Closing.


 


10.17
Access to Records Including as to Recovery and Audit Information. If any entity, governmental agency or person makes a
claim, inquiry or request to Buyer or Sellers relating to Sellers’ operation of the Hospital prior to the Effective Time
(including but not limited to a notice to Buyer or Sellers from a person responsible for retroactive payment denials, including
recovery audit contractors) of their intent to review Sellers’ claims or any other aspect of Sellers’ operation of
the Hospital prior to the Effective Time, or otherwise seeks information pertaining to Sellers, Buyer shall: (i) comply with all
requests from such entity or person in a timely manner; (ii) comply with all other applicable laws and regulations; (iii) forward
to Sellers all communications and/or documents sent to such person or entity or received from such person or entity within five
(5) business days of Buyer’s delivery or receipt of such communications and/or documents; and (iv) provide Sellers and their
agents and attorneys upon reasonable request with reasonable access to records, information and personnel necessary for any response,
appeal or challenge by Sellers regarding any such matter (with the understanding that Sellers shall be solely responsible for
handling any such response, appeal or challenge).

Tax Abatement. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining confirmation from the Hospital
Landlord with respect to the abatement of real estate taxes for the Leased Real Property subject to the Hospital Lease.


 


10.19
Excluded Equipment. Equipment which is located at the Hospital or CarePlus Location at the time of the Closing which was
in use by but not owned by Seller is set forth on Schedule 10.19 (the “Excluded Equipment”). The Excluded Equipment
shall remain at its current location following the closing for period of two weeks. On or before the end of the two week period,
Sellers shall remove the Excluded Equipment from the Hospital or CarePlus Location absent documentation provided by Buyer to the
reasonable satisfaction of Sellers that Buyer now owns the equipment or has secured the right to use the equipment from the rightful
owner of the equipment. Pending the removable of the Excluded Equipment by Sellers, Buyer shall not modify, destroy, damage or
remove the Excluded Equipment. If Buyer uses the Excluded Equipment pending its removal, Buyer does so at its own risk and shall
hold Sellers harmless from any and all claims, costs and damages arising from Buyer’s use of the equipment.

11.
INDEMNIFICATION.


 


11.1
Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.3 hereof, Buyer shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates, and its respective officers, employees, agents or independent contractors (collectively,
“Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs (including, without
limitation, court costs and costs of appeal) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
fees of expert consultants and witnesses) that such Seller Indemnified Party incurs as a result of, or with respect to (i) any
misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Buyer under this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Buyer of, or any failure by Buyer to
perform, any covenant or agreement of, or required to be performed by, Buyer under this Agreement, (iii) any of the Assumed Liabilities,
or (iv) any claim made by a third party with respect to the operation of the Hospital by Buyer following the Effective Time.


 


11.2
Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.3 hereof, Sellers shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, agents, or independent contractors
(collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs (including,
without limitation, court costs and costs of appeal) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and fees of expert consultants and witnesses) that such Buyer Indemnified Party incurs as a result of, or with respect to
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Sellers under this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Sellers of, or any failure
by Sellers to perform, any covenant or agreement of, or required to be performed by, Sellers under this Agreement, (iii) any of
the Excluded Liabilities, or (iv) any claim made by a third party with respect to the operation of the Hospital by Seller prior
to the Effective Time.


 


11.3
Limitations. Buyer and Sellers shall be liable under Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.2(i) (i.e., for misrepresentations
and breaches of warranties), as applicable, only when total indemnification claims exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
(the “Basket Amount”), after which Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, shall be liable only for the amount in excess
of the Basket Amount. No party shall be liable for any indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.2(i),
as applicable, for any claims for misrepresentations and breaches of warranty which are the basis upon which any other party shall
have failed to consummate the transactions described herein pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 8.1, as applicable,
or which are based upon misrepresentations and breaches of warranty which have been waived pursuant to the initial paragraph of
Section 7 or Section 8, as applicable. The liability of Buyer and Sellers for indemnification under Section 11.1(i)
or Section 11.2(i), respectively, shall be limited to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price.
Any indemnification payments required to be made hereunder with respect to any matter shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance
proceeds or tax benefits that can be proved to have been received by the Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined) as a result
of such matter.


 




    	 	- 35 -	 



     


    

 


11.4
Notice and Control of Litigation. If any claim or liability is asserted in writing by a third party against a party entitled
to indemnification under this Section 11 (the “Indemnified Party”) which would give rise to a claim under this
Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the person giving the indemnity (the “Indemnifying Party”) in
writing of the same within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such written assertion of a claim or liability. The Indemnifying Party
shall have the right to defend a claim and control the defense, settlement, and prosecution of any litigation. If the Indemnifying
Party, within ten (10) days after notice of such claim, fails to defend such claim, the Indemnified Party shall (upon further
notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or settlement of such claim on behalf of
and for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense
of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise, or final determination thereof. Anything in this Section 11.4
notwithstanding, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party
other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and
expense, to defend, compromise, and settle such claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent
of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such
claim. The foregoing rights and agreements shall be limited to the extent of any requirement of any third-party insurer or indemnitor.
All parties agree to cooperate fully as necessary in the defense of such matters. Should the Indemnified Party fail to notify
the Indemnifying Party in the time required above, the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of the required notice shall
be limited to the damages that would have resulted absent the Indemnified Party’s failure to notify the Indemnifying Party
in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnifying Party had it received
timely notice from the Indemnified Party.


 


11.5
Notice of Claim. If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any breach of the representations or warranties of the Indemnifying
Party hereunder or any other basis for indemnification under this Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying
Party in writing of the same within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such breach or claim, specifying in detail the circumstances
and facts which give rise to a claim under this Section 11. Should the Indemnified Party fail to notify the Indemnifying
Party within the time frame required above, the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of the required notice shall be limited
to the damages that would have nonetheless resulted absent the Indemnified Party’s failure to notify the Indemnifying Party
in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnifying Party had it received
timely notice from the Indemnified Party.


 


11.6
Mitigation. The Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all liabilities and claims, including availing
itself as reasonably directed by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third
parties and other rights at law, and shall provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of any liability as
may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. The amount of any indemnification hereunder shall be reduced or reimbursed,
as the case may be, by any amount received by the Indemnified Party under any insurance coverage or from any other party alleged
to be responsible therefor. The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance
coverage and from such other party alleged to have responsibility. If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under any such
insurance coverage or from such other party subsequent to an indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this
Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred
by the Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the Indemnified Party.
Each party shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in addressing any liabilities that may provide the basis for an indemnifiable
claim (that is, each party shall respond to such liability in the same manner that it would respond to such liability in the absence
of the indemnification provided for in this Agreement). Any request for indemnification of specific costs shall include invoices
and supporting documents containing reasonably detailed information about the costs or damages for which indemnification is being
sought.


 




    	 	- 36 -	 



     


    

 


11.7
Exclusive Remedy. The representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be terminated
and extinguished upon the earlier of the end of the Survival Period (hereinafter defined) or any termination of this Agreement.
Thereafter, none of Sellers, Buyer or any shareholder, partner, officer, director, principal or Affiliate of any of the preceding
shall be subject to any liability of any nature whatsoever with respect to any such representation or warranty. Moreover, the
sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or inaccuracy, or alleged breach or inaccuracy, of any representation and warranty made
by Sellers or Buyer shall be the remedies provided by this Section 11.


 


12.
MISCELLANEOUS.


 


12.1
Additional Assurances. The provisions of this Agreement shall be self-operative and shall not require further agreement
by the parties except as may be herein specifically provided to the contrary; provided, however, at the request of a party, the
other party or parties shall execute such additional instruments and take such additional actions as the requesting party may
deem necessary to effectuate this agreement. In addition and from time to time after Closing, Sellers shall execute and deliver
such other instruments of conveyance and transfer, and take such other actions as Buyer reasonably may request, more effectively
to convey and transfer full right, title, and interest to, vest in, and place Buyer in legal and actual possession of, any and
all of the Hospital and the Assets. Sellers shall also furnish Buyer with such information and documents in their possession or
under its control, or which Seller can execute or cause to be executed, as will enable Buyer to prosecute any and all petitions,
applications, claims, and demands relating to or constituting a part of the Hospital or the Assets. Additionally, Sellers shall
cooperate and use their best efforts to have its present directors, officers, and employees cooperate with Buyer on and after
Closing in furnishing information, evidence, testimony, and other assistance in connection with any action, proceeding, arrangement,
or dispute of any nature with respect to matters pertaining to all periods prior to Closing in respect of the items subject to
this Agreement.


 


12.2
Third Party Consents. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an
agreement to assign any claim, right, contract, license, lease, commitment, sales order, or purchase order if an attempted assignment
thereof without the consent of the other party thereto would constitute a breach thereof or in any material way affect the rights
of Sellers thereunder, unless such consent is obtained.


 


12.3
Consents, Approvals and Discretion. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, whenever this Agreement requires
any consent or approval to be given by a party, or whenever a party must or may exercise discretion, the parties agree that such
consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such discretion shall be reasonably exercised.


 


12.4
Legal Fees and Costs. In the event a party elects to incur legal expenses to enforce or interpret any provision of this
Agreement by judicial proceedings, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover such legal expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and necessary disbursements at all court levels, in addition to any other relief to which
such party shall be entitled.


 




    	 	- 37 -	 



     


    

 


12.5
Choice of Law. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict of laws principles.


 


12.6
Benefit/Assignment. Subject to provisions herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns. No party may assign this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that any party may, without the prior written consent of the other parties, assign its rights and delegate its duties
hereunder to one or more Affiliates (as defined in Section 12.18). At the Closing and upon the request of Buyer, Sellers
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates owning any portion of the Assets (the “Seller Entities”) to, transfer the Assets
and the Assumed Liabilities to Buyer and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, Rennova Health Services TN, Inc. (the
“Buyer Entities”). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.22 hereof, the Seller Entities and the Buyer
Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.


 


12.7
No Brokerage. Except as set forth on Schedule 12.8, Buyer and Sellers each represent and warrant to the other that
it has not engaged a broker in connection with the transactions described herein. Each party agrees to be solely liable for and
obligated to satisfy and discharge all loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of claims for fees or commissions of brokers
employed or alleged to have been employed by such party.


 


12.8
Cost of Transaction. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the parties agree as follows:
(i) Sellers shall pay the fees, expenses, and disbursements of Sellers and their agents, representatives, accountants, and legal
counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto; and (ii) Buyer shall pay the fees, expenses,
and disbursements of Buyer and its agents, representatives, accountants and legal counsel incurred in connection with the subject
matter hereof and any amendments hereto. Buyer shall pay the cost of the Title Commitment, the Title Policy, the Survey and the
Environmental Inspection Report, licensure application fees, recording fees, any state and local deed, stamp, or transfer taxes
associated with or assessed in connection with the sale and purchase of the Assets, and mechanical, structural, electrical and
roofing engineering costs related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


12.9
Confidentiality. It is understood by the parties hereto that the information, documents, and instruments delivered to
Buyer by Sellers and their agents and the information, documents, and instruments delivered to Sellers by Buyer and its agents
are of a confidential and proprietary nature. Each of the parties hereto agrees that both prior and subsequent to the Closing
it will maintain the confidentiality of all such confidential information, documents, or instruments delivered to it by each of
the other parties hereto or their agents in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or in compliance with the terms,
conditions, and covenants hereof and will only disclose such information, documents, and instruments to its duly authorized officers,
members, directors, representatives, and agents (including consultants, attorneys, and accountants of each party) and applicable
Government Entities in connection with any required notification or application for approval or exemption therefrom. Each of the
parties hereto further agrees that if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, it will return all such documents
and instruments and all copies thereof in its possession to the other parties to this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto recognizes
that any breach of this Section 12.10 would result in irreparable harm to the other party to this Agreement and its Affiliates
(as defined in Section 12.18 below) and that therefore either Sellers or Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction to prohibit
any such breach or anticipated breach, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash, or otherwise, in addition to all of its
other legal and equitable remedies. Nothing in this Section 12.10, however, shall prohibit the use of such confidential
information, documents, or information for such governmental filings as in the opinion of Sellers’ counsel or Buyer’s
counsel are required by law or governmental regulations or are otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable state
law.

12.10
Public Announcements. Sellers and Buyer mutually agree that no party hereto shall release, publish, or otherwise make
available to the public in any manner whatsoever any information or announcement regarding the transactions herein contemplated
without the prior written consent of Sellers and Buyer, except for information and filings reasonably necessary to be directed
to governmental agencies to fully and lawfully effect the transactions herein contemplated or required in connection with securities
and other laws.


 


12.11
Waiver of Breach. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, no waiver of any provision of this Agreement is
valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. The waiver by any
party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver
of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof.


 


12.12
Notice. Any notice, demand, or communication required, permitted, or desired to be given hereunder shall be deemed effectively
given when personally delivered, when received by receipted overnight delivery, or five (5) days after being deposited in the
