“Sellers”; each a “Seller”) and The Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama (“Purchaser”). 
 W I T N
E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Sellers desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, certain assets comprising Sellers’ facilities
and assets comprising the HealthSouth Medical Center in Jefferson County, Alabama (the “Hospital”) and its related assets, including, without limitation, the real property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements, and inventory
currently utilized by such Hospital (collectively with the Hospital, the “Business”); 
 WHEREAS, HMC, or its Affiliate, will
retain the certificate of need under which the Hospital operates and the 219 beds currently licensed at the Hospital; 
 WHEREAS, an
Affiliate of Purchaser will manage the Hospital pursuant to that certain Management Agreement between Purchaser and HMC, dated simultaneously herewith (the “Management Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, as a condition to Closing, Purchaser must obtain a certificate of need to offer, subsequent to Closing, at the Hospital, the same services as
those currently offered at Purchaser’s hospital in Birmingham, Alabama; and 
 WHEREAS, in contemplation of the execution of this
Agreement and subject to the terms hereinafter set forth, Sellers have transferred to Purchaser, the ownership of 199 licensed beds located at HealthSouth Metro-West Hospital located in Fairfield, Alabama (the “MetroWest Beds”).

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I

 Section 1.1 Assets Purchased at the Closing. On the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser agrees to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers, for themselves and their Affiliates, agree to sell, assign, bargain, convey and deliver to Purchaser, the following assets of Sellers
(collectively, the “Assets”), free from any liens, claims and encumbrances, except those listed on Schedule 1.3 hereto: 
 (a) the Real Property currently known as “HealthSouth Medical Center” located at 1201 11th Avenue South, Birmingham, Alabama as more particularly described on Exhibit A hereto, excluding the
following properties: the Pita Stop Property, as described on

 (b) all of Sellers’ rights under those contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(b) hereto (as well as any contracts specifically
related to the Hospital and mutually approved in writing by Sellers and Purchasers); and 
 (c) all operating assets, as
materially listed on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto, including, without limitation, the real property, intellectual property, personal property, furniture, fixtures, equipment, improvements, vehicles, patient records, financial records, personnel

 Section 1.2 Excluded Assets. Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that Purchaser is not
acquiring any cash, accounts receivable, working capital, the operating business unit comprising the outpatient center (apart from the real property on which such business is located and which is part of the Assets) located on the campus of the
Hospital, the certificate of need under which the Hospital currently operates, the licensed beds operated by HMC at the Hospital, or the real property or improvements thereon associated with the hospital being constructed by Sellers on U.S. Highway

Section 6.6 of this Agreement. 
 Section 1.3 Assumed Liabilities, Contracts and Leases. 
 (a) As of the Closing, Purchaser agrees to assume the liabilities listed on Schedule 1.3 hereto (with those obligations in

to provide Purchaser with all books and records relating to the Assumed Liabilities. 
 (b) Purchaser assumes and agrees to
pay or perform, as the case may be, all obligations for the time period after the Closing with respect to those contracts, purchase orders, agreements and leases which are set forth on Schedule 1.3 hereto.

transfer at the Closing by Purchaser. 
 (b) The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 2 

 (ii) The Purchase Price shall be increased by the cost of any capital improvements to the
Assets made by Sellers after the date of delivery of this Agreement if Purchaser agrees in writing to such addition to the Purchase Price. 
 (iii) The Purchase Price shall be reduced to $20,000,000 if on or after June 1, 2006: (A) Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(e) of this Agreement upon ten (10) days

must notify Sellers in writing within ten (10) business days of Sellers’ written notice hereunder. If Purchaser notifies Sellers that it is willing to accept these conditions for closing in exchange for the Purchase Price reduction, all
representations, covenants and warranties of Sellers under this Agreement with respect to operation of the Assets as a health care facility shall be of no further force and effect, and the Closing shall occur within ten (10) business days of
Purchaser’s written acceptance to Sellers and in no event later than June 30, 2006. 
 Section 1.5 Allocation of Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price for the Assets being conveyed herein shall be allocated by Purchaser and Sellers among the Assets being sold by Sellers to Purchaser hereunder in accordance with the allocation contained on Schedule 1.5 hereto
and such allocation shall be used by all parties hereto for all applicable tax and financial purposes. 
 Section 1.6 The Closing.
The closing of the transactions contemplated by Section 1.1 (the “Closing”) shall occur as soon as practicable after the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing outlined in Article VII and Article VIII hereof. The Closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall occur at the offices of Balch & Bingham LLP, 1901 Sixth Avenue North, Suite 2600, Birmingham, Alabama, or at such other location as Purchaser and Sellers may agree upon.

prorated by the parties as of 12:01 a.m. on the day closing occurs (the “Closing Date”) as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Assets during the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. For purposes of proration, municipal ad
valorem taxes shall be assumed to have been paid in advance and all other ad valorem taxes shall be assumed to be paid in arrears. Any expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Closing Date shall be prorated on the basis of
the parties’ reasonable estimates of such 

  

 3 

 
amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be
ascertained. Purchaser shall promptly notify Sellers when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all rental and expense amounts have been ascertained, Purchaser shall prepare, and certify as correct, a final
proration statement which shall be subject to Sellers’ approval. Upon Sellers’ acceptance and approval of any final proration statement submitted by Purchaser, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final. The
parties shall prorate payments with respect to patient services provided by HMC prior to Closing and Purchaser subsequent to Closing for patients who are inpatients of the Hospital at the Closing to the extent payment for such services is received
on a single DRG or similar basis.

of this Agreement shall survive for a period of one (1) year after the Closing.

Subject to and to the extent provided in this Article IX, Sellers hereby covenant and agree to protect, defend and indemnify Purchaser, and to hold it harmless, against and with respect to any and all loss, liability, damage and expense
(including, without limitation, all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, fines, expenses, injunctions and penalties, and any and all legal and accounting fees incident to any of the foregoing)

(ii) any inaccuracy in a representation or warranty by Sellers set forth herein, (iii) any claims, demands, liabilities and causes of action in connection with any act, event, condition or occurrence relating in any way to the Assets

action in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the indemnitor under either Section 9.2 or 9.3 (each, an “Action”), such indemnified party shall notify the indemnitor in writing of the commencement of such Action; but the
omission to so notify the indemnitor shall not relieve it from any liability that it may otherwise have to such indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnitor is materially prejudiced or forfeits substantive rights or defenses as a
result of such failure. In connection with any Action in which the indemnitor and any indemnified party are parties, the indemnitor shall be entitled to participate therein, and may assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the
defense of any such Action by the indemnitor, each indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Action, and the indemnitor shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate

party and the indemnitor shall have concluded that representation of such indemnified party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by such indemnified party’s counsel, potential differing interests
between them in the conduct of the defense of such Action, or if there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the other indemnified party or to the indemnitor, or
(iii) the indemnitor shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the institution of such Action. If such indemnified party retains separate counsel in

connection with any Action in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one 

  

 16 

 
counsel for all such indemnified parties (together with appropriate local counsel). The party from whom indemnification is sought shall not, without the
written consent of the party seeking indemnification (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the party seeking
indemnification from all liabilities with respect to such claim. 
 (b) In the event one party hereunder should have a claim
for indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a third party, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly send notice of such claim to the party from whom indemnification is sought. 
 Section 9.5 Deductible Amount. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Sellers shall have no liability under Article 9 until

 (d) by Purchaser (i) after December 31, 2005 if the CON has not been issued by December 31, 2005 or

Sellers elects to bear the entire cost of such Contest. 
 Section 10.2 Effect of Termination. Each party’s right of
termination under Section 10.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 10.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 11.2, 11.6 and 6.1 will survive; provided however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of a
Breach of the Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party’s failure to comply with its obligations under
this Agreement, the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. 
 ARTICLE XI

 AMENDED AND RESTATED ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 31, 2005, by and among
HealthSouth Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“HealthSouth”), HealthSouth Medical Center, Inc., an Alabama corporation (“HMC”) (HealthSouth and HMC, collectively, “Sellers”; each a “Seller”) and The Board
of Trustees of The University of Alabama (“Purchaser”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto have previously executed an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2005 (the “Existing Agreement”)
concerning the subject matter hereof, and wish to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety; and 
 WHEREAS, in the Existing
Agreement, Sellers were to retain the certificate of need, 219-bed license and existing services at HealthSouth Medical Center (the “Hospital”) for use in connection with a sale of Seller’s Digital Hospital. Pursuant to this
Agreement, Sellers will sell the Hospital and all related operating rights (including Sellers’ interest in the certificate of need, 219-bed license and existing services for the Hospital). The parties have agreed that, upon consummation of the
sale provided for in this Agreement, such related rights will no longer be retained by Seller for use in connection with the Digital Hospital or otherwise. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 Section 1.1 Assets Purchased at the Closing. On the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser agrees to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers, for themselves and their Affiliates, agree to sell, assign, bargain, convey and deliver to Purchaser, the following assets of Sellers (collectively, the
“Assets”), free from any liens, claims and encumbrances, except those listed on Schedule 1.3 hereto: 
 (a)

properties: the Pita Stop Property, as described on Exhibit B hereto, the Bernstein Condominium and the McCoy Condominium, as described on Exhibit C hereto; 
 (b) all of Sellers’ rights under those contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(b) hereto (as well as any contracts specifically
related to the Hospital and mutually approved in writing by Sellers and Purchasers); 
 (c) all operating assets, as
materially listed on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto, including, without limitation, the real property, intellectual property, personal property, furniture, fixtures, 

  

 1 

 
equipment, improvements, vehicles, patient records, financial records, personnel files, inventory and supplies; and 
 (d) all of Sellers’ interests in the rights to operate the Hospital as a 219-acute care licensed hospital with all health services
permitted to be provided therein as of the date of this Agreement, including without limitation the rights granted to Sellers under all applicable licenses (including the DPH license), permits, franchises, certificates of need and any other right
possessed or held by Sellers relating to the ownership and operation of the Hospital (if any of such licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of need or other authorizations (each an “Authorization”) shall not be transferable, then
Seller shall relinquish those items in favor of Purchaser and cooperate in all reasonable ways to facilitate the issuance of such Authorizations in favor of Purchaser). 
 Section 1.2 Excluded Assets. Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that Purchaser is not acquiring any cash, accounts receivable, working capital, the operating business unit comprising the
outpatient center (apart from the real property on which such business is located and which is part of the Assets) located on the campus of the Hospital or the real property or improvements thereon associated with the hospital being constructed by
Sellers on U.S. Highway 280 in Jefferson County (the “Digital Hospital”). Although Sellers’ interest in the Gamma Knife Partnership is not included in the Assets, Sellers shall convey such interest to Purchaser as of December 31,
2006 pursuant to Section 6.6 of this Agreement. 
 Section 1.3 Assumed Liabilities, Contracts and Leases. 
 (a) As of the Closing, Purchaser agrees to assume the liabilities listed on Schedule 1.3 hereto (with those obligations in
Section 1.3(c) hereof, the “Assumed Liabilities”), including all leases and subleases to which any of the Assets are subject. Purchaser does not assume any liabilities not specifically set forth on Schedule 1.3. Sellers agree
to provide Purchaser with all books and records relating to the Assumed Liabilities. 
 (b) Purchaser assumes and agrees to
pay or perform, as the case may be, all obligations for the time period after the Closing with respect to those contracts, purchase orders, agreements and leases which are set forth on Schedule 1.3 hereto. 
 Section 1.4 Purchase Price. 
 (a) Unless adjusted pursuant to Section 1.4(b), the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Assets shall be THIRTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS ($33,000,000) plus the amount of any negative
EBITDAM (as defined in the Management Agreement) for the period from January 1, 2006 through the Closing Date. The $33,000,000 portion, less any deductions provided hereunder, of the Purchase Price shall be paid via bank wire transfer at the
Closing by Purchaser, and the amount of EBITDAM shall be determined by Sellers and paid by Purchaser as soon as possible after Closing; provided, however, Purchaser shall be given the opportunity to review and confirm Sellers’ calculation of
negative EDITDAM. 
  

 2 

 (b) The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows: 
 (i) To the extent that any of the following real properties are not conveyed at the Closing in accordance with Section 6.5 hereof,

	 Reduction
	  	Non-Conveyed Real Property
	$450,000	  	Pita Stop Property (with parking lot)
	$235,000	  	McCoy Condominium
	$195,000	  	Berstein Condominium

 (ii) The Purchase Price shall be increased by the cost of any capital improvements
to the Assets made by Sellers after the date of delivery of this Agreement if Purchaser agrees in writing to such addition to the Purchase Price. 
 Section 1.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Assets being conveyed herein shall be allocated by Purchaser and Sellers among the Assets being sold by Sellers to Purchaser hereunder in accordance with the
allocation contained on Schedule 1.5 hereto and such allocation shall be used by all parties hereto for all applicable tax and financial purposes. 
 Section 1.6 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by Section 1.1 (the “Closing”) shall occur on February 6, 2006 so long as the conditions to Closing outlined in
Article VII and Article VIII hereof have been satisfied or waived. If the conditions to Closing outlined in Article VII and Article VIII hereof have been not been satisfied or waived on or before February 6, 2006, the Closing shall occur as
soon as such conditions to Closing have been satisfied or waived. The Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall occur at the offices of Balch & Bingham LLP, 1901 Sixth Avenue North, Suite 2600, Birmingham, Alabama, or
at such other location as Purchaser and Sellers may agree upon. 
 Section 1.7 Prorations. All taxes, rent, revenues, water
charges, utilities, or any other similar items relating to the Assets shall be prorated by the parties as of 12:01 a.m. on the day closing occurs (the “Closing Date”) as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Assets during the entire
day upon which the Closing occurs. For purposes of proration, municipal ad valorem taxes shall be assumed to have been paid in advance and all other ad valorem taxes shall be assumed to be paid in arrears. Any expense amount which cannot be
ascertained with certainty as of the Closing Date shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, or as soon
thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Purchaser shall promptly notify Sellers when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all rental and expense amounts have been ascertained, Purchaser shall
prepare, and certify as correct, a final proration statement which shall be subject to Sellers’ approval. Upon Sellers’ acceptance and approval of any final proration statement submitted by Purchaser, such statement shall be conclusively
deemed to be accurate and final. The parties shall prorate payments with respect to patient services provided by HMC prior to Closing and Purchaser subsequent to Closing for patients who are inpatients of the Hospital at the Closing to the extent
payment for such services is received on a single DRG or similar basis. 
  

 3

 Section 9.4 Notice of Claims. 
 (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of written notice of the commencement of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the indemnitor under
either Section 9.2 or 9.3 (each, an “Action”), such indemnified party shall notify the indemnitor in writing of the commencement of such Action; but the omission to so notify the indemnitor shall not relieve it from any liability that
it may otherwise have to such indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnitor is materially prejudiced or forfeits substantive rights or defenses as a result of such failure. In connection with any Action in which the indemnitor and any
indemnified party are parties, the indemnitor shall be entitled to participate therein, and may assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any such Action by the indemnitor, each indemnified party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Action, and the indemnitor shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel to such indemnified party if: (i) the indemnitor shall have agreed to the
retention of such separate counsel, (ii) the defendants in, or target of, any such Action include more than one indemnified party or both an indemnified party and the indemnitor shall have concluded that representation of such indemnified party
by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by such indemnified party’s counsel, potential differing interests between them in the conduct of the defense of such Action, or if there may be legal
defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the other indemnified party or to the indemnitor, or (iii) the indemnitor shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the institution of such Action. If such indemnified party retains separate counsel in cases other than as described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above, such counsel shall be
retained at the expenses of such indemnified party. Except as provided above, it is hereby agreed and understood that the indemnitor shall not, in connection with any Action in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel for all such indemnified parties (together with appropriate local counsel). The party from whom indemnification is sought shall not, without the written consent of the party seeking indemnification (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the party seeking indemnification from all liabilities with respect to such claim. 
 (b) In the event one party hereunder should have a claim for indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a
