2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS; ASSIGNMENTS

     2.1.
Purchase and Sale of the Assets. On the Closing Date (defined in Section 10.1 below),
Seller shall transfer, sell and assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser
shall purchase from Seller, on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement,
the Assets, free and clear of
all Liens (defined in Section 5.6 below) other than the
Permitted Liens (defined in Section 5.6
below).

     2.2. Assignments. Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser (pursuant to
the Assignment and Assumption Agreement attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit E): (a) all Assumed
General Contracts; (b) all Personal Property Leases;
(c) all Real Property Leases; (d) all
assignable third party warranties and claims for warranties relating to the Assets or the
Leased Personal Property; (e) all assignable Licenses (as defined in Section 5.6), permits,
registrations and certifications necessary to operate the Assets and the Business; and (f) any and
all assignable governmental or third party payor participation agreements. The agreements and leases
described in clauses (a), (b), and (c) (other than any Facility Contract) and all assignable
agreements, warranties, claims for warranties, Licenses, permits, registrations and certifications
described in clauses (d), (e), and (f) are collectively referred to as the “Assignable Items.” All
warranties,

-4-

 

claims for warranty, Licenses, permits, registrations, certifications, and governmental or third
party payor participation agreements that are
not-assignable are collectively referred to as the
“Non-Assignable Items.” To the extent the assignment of any Assignable Items requires the consent
of a party (other than Seller), Seller shall not be obligated to obtain any of such consents, until
such time as Purchaser has procured a firm commitment for the financing of the Purchase Price (the
“Financing Commitment”) and Purchaser has paid the commitment fee or other fee initially due and
payable upon the signing of the commitment (the “Commitment Fee”), if any. Upon Purchaser procuring
the Financing Commitment and paying the Commitment Fee, Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the
Financing Commitment to Seller and evidence of payment of the Commitment Fee. To the extent the
Financing Commitment is contingent upon Seller obtaining consents to the assignment of any
Assignable Item (the “Required Consents”), Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all
Required Consents prior to the Closing. To the extent the Financing Commitment is contingent upon
Purchaser obtaining the rights and benefits of any Non-Assignable Items (the “Required Approvals”),
then Purchaser shall endeavor to obtain the rights and benefits under all such Non-Assignable Item
prior to the Closing by obtaining its own licenses, permits, registrations, certifications, and
governmental or third party payor participation agreements (and Seller shall fully cooperate with
Purchaser in that regard). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if requested by
Purchaser, Seller shall provide all applicable Government Programs and Private Programs with any
required notices.

     2.3. Non-Assignable Items. After the Closing, if requested by Purchaser, Seller shall use
reasonable efforts to the extent legally permitted to provide Purchaser with the rights and
benefits of each Assignable Item for which the consent of a third party was not received prior to
Closing and each Non-Assignable Item that Purchaser failed to obtain its own prior to Closing, in
order to accomplish the goal of the Parties to transfer all benefits, costs and obligations
arising from and after the Closing Date of each Assignable Item and each Non-Assignable Item to
Purchaser. Without limited the generality of the foregoing, under such circumstances, the Parties
shall endeavor, to the extent legally permitted, to (a) subcontract Seller’s performance under
such Assignable Items and Non-Assignable Items to Purchaser, (b) have Seller complete performance
under such Assignable Items and Non-Assignable Items for the account and benefit of Purchaser, but
at no cost to Seller, in which case Purchaser shall make the Assets and Purchaser’s employees
available to Seller for such purposes, and all profits, losses and costs relating to such
agreements shall accrue to Purchaser, and/or (iii) enter into any other reasonable structure,
method or series of transactions between the Parties designed to accomplish the foregoing purposes
and objectives.

3. LIABILITIES ASSUMED

     3.1. Assumed Liabilities. In connection with its acquisition of the Assets, Purchaser
shall assume those liabilities arising from and after the Closing Date with respect to: (a) the
Assumed General Contracts, the Personal Property Leases, and the Real Property Leases, (b) those
term loans or installment loans payable by Seller and listed on the attached Schedule 3.1(b) but
only to extent the proceeds of such loan payables were used to acquire equipment or vehicles used
in the ordinary course of the Business, and (c) the employment matters specified in Article 8
(collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). The Parties acknowledge that until the Closing, Seller
may make or incur capital expenditures with respect to the Business and may

-5-

 

expand into territories in which Seller currently does not conduct its Business, but such capital
expenditures or expansion are subject to the prior written consent of Purchaser in accordance with
Section 7.4. If, in the ordinary course of the Business, Seller desires to make or incur such
capital expenditures or expand its Business and the same is consented to by Purchaser in writing
pursuant to Section 7.4, then Seller may finance such expenditures and costs of expansion by
borrowing sufficient funds from Standard Federal Bank and the new loans payable by Seller shall be
added to Schedule 3.1 (b) and assumed by Purchaser at Closing as an Assumed Liability; provided,
however, that the terms of such borrowings and loans must be approved by Purchaser in writing in
accordance with Section 7.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
to the extent Seller desires to make or incur such capital expenditures or expand its Business and
the same is not consented to by Purchaser in writing pursuant to Section 7.4, then Seller shall
have no liability whatsoever to Purchaser for Seller’s failure to make or incur such capital
expenditures or expand its Business. Purchaser shall be in entitled to withhold any and all of the
consents referred to above, in its sole and absolute discretion, without any liability whatsoever
to Seller.

     3.2. Excluded Liabilities. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not assume and
shall not be liable for any debts, liabilities or obligations of Seller, regardless of the type or
nature of such debts, liabilities and obligations (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). Such
Excluded Liabilities shall include, without limitation: (i) any liabilities relating to any of
Seller’s accounts payable, or accruals for payroll (including personal, sick and vacation day
accruals) and bonuses; (ii) any liability or obligation of Seller under the Environmental Laws with
respect to solid waste or Hazardous Materials which have been transported by or on behalf of Seller
for offsite disposal; (iii) any liability or obligation relating to any investigation, remediation
or monitoring of Hazardous Materials which were present, as of the Closing Date, in the ground
water, surface water or surface or subsurface soil of any real property owned or leased by Seller
or its predecessors in interest on or at anytime before the Closing Date; (iv) any liability or
obligation of Seller for any violation of the Environmental Laws, including, without limitation,
any fine or penalty arising from any permit violations; (v) any liability or obligation relating,
in any way, to any action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against Seller,
the Business or the Assets, at law or in equity, before any federal, state, municipal or other
governmental department, commission, board, agency, court or instrumentality; (vi) any liability or
obligation relating, in any way, to the Employee Benefit Plans (defined in Section 5.11) other than
Assumed Liabilities; (vii) any liability or obligation under the Licenses (as defined in Section
5.4); (viii) any liability or obligation arising from Seller’s participation in the Title XVIII
(Medicare), Title XIX (Medicaid) and/or Blue Cross and Blue Shield programs; (ix) any third party
payer program penalties, sanctions, overpayments or other liabilities generated as a result of
prior or future filing of any claim by Seller for payment or reimbursement or with respect to any
alleged fraud or abuse, criminal activity, fee splitting or with respect to any document filed or
to be filed by Seller under any third party payer program; (x) any accrued bonuses payable by
Seller; (xi) any Tax (as defined in Section 5.14 (c) below) liability (or adjustments thereto);
(xii) any liability or obligation with respect to claims for bodily injury or property damage of
any kind, type or description which arises out of any act or occurrence or treatment rendered on or
before the Closing Date; (xiii) any and all oral contracts, agreements or understandings; (xiv) any
General Contracts other than the Assumed General Contracts; and (xv) any and all fees, commissions
or other amounts due Beringea, LLC.

General Contracts, which require more than sixty days prior notice for cancellation without

8. EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT MATTERS

     8.1. Employees.

          (a) Employment. The Parties acknowledge that the transfer of Assets to Purchaser constitutes
the sale of one or more businesses within the meaning of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act, 29 USC Sec. 2101 et seq. (the “WARN Act”) and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. Although Purchaser intends to offer employment to substantially all of
Seller’s Employees, Purchaser is unwilling to covenant to do so. If Seller incurs a claim, demand
or liability under the WARN Act as a result of the failure of Purchaser to offer employment to a
sufficient number of Seller’s Employees, then Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Seller Parties (as defined in Section 11.2) from

-23-

 

and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses which any of the Seller Parties may
suffer or for which any of the Seller Parties may become liable and which are based on, the result
of, arise out of or are otherwise related to a violation of the WARN Act, and any and all Related
Expenses (as defined in Section 11.1) incident to the foregoing. In addition, Purchaser shall
assume all obligations, first arising from and after the Closing Date, under the written employment
agreements disclosed on Schedule 5.10 covering Seller’s Employees to perform comparable services in
such position as is comparable to the position such employee held with Seller prior to Closing.
Each of Seller’s Employees who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment and becomes Purchaser’s
employee on or immediately after the Closing Date is referred to hereinafter as a “Hired Employee”
and such employees are referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Hired Employees.” Except as
otherwise required by any employment agreement assumed by Purchaser from Seller, and except as
otherwise necessary so as to prevent the Hired Employees from incurring any “employment loss” under
the WARN Act, Purchaser shall determine, in its sole discretion, the terms and conditions of
employment of each Hired Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, Seller
shall reimburse Purchaser for any payroll payments and payroll tax obligations made by Purchaser
to, or on behalf of, or with respect to, any of Seller’s Employees who are both: (i) “Inactive” (as
defined below) as of the Closing Date; and (ii) entitled to receive payroll compensation from
Seller. Such reimbursement right shall continue as long as the Seller’s Employee in question
remains Inactive. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Inactive” employee of Seller is a Seller’s
Employee who, as of the Closing Date, is not actively at work, and is on leave of absence, lay off,
military leave, suspension, sick leave, workers’ compensation, salary continuance or short or long
term disability, or otherwise not actively performing his or her work during all normally scheduled
business hours. Such reimbursement shall be made within ten days of a written request to Seller,
along with evidence of payroll payments.

          (b) Employee Benefits.

               (i) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall establish employee benefit plans for
Hired Employees only to the extent required so that Seller shall not be obligated to provide any
notice to Seller’s Employees under the WARN Act. If Purchaser so requests, Seller shall use its
reasonable best efforts to transfer or cause to be transferred to Purchaser any insurance or
re-insurance policy, health maintenance organization, preferred provider, or similar contract,
and/or third-party administrative or other services agreement with respect to the provision of
benefits to Seller’s Employees who become Hired Employees, including, without limitation, Seller’s
self-funded medical plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if
Seller’s self-funded medical plan is transferred to Purchaser, then an accounting shall be
prepared as of the Closing Date to assure that claims incurred under any such plan that relate to
the period prior to the Closing Date are charged to Seller and that Seller receives any refundable
self-insurance reserves or other amounts owing to Seller pursuant to such plan. If such reserves
or other amounts are not paid directly to Seller, but instead are paid to Purchaser or remain in
the plan, then, upon request by Seller, Purchaser shall pay Seller the amount of such reserves or
other amounts.

               (ii) The amount of sick, personal and vacation days through the Closing Date awarded to and
that portion of such days that has been used by each of Seller’s

-24-

 

Employees who is employed by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be accurately
disclosed to Purchaser prior to and then again at the Closing, and Purchaser shall be obligated to
provide each such Seller’s Employee who becomes a Hired Employee with any remaining unused sick,
personal, and/or vacation days entitlement for the applicable period. On and after the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall recognize the years of service with Seller of all of Seller’s Employees who
become Hired Employees for purposes of the eligibility and vesting provisions of all employee
benefit plans and determining sick, personal, and vacation days entitlement from and after the
Closing Date; provided, however, that, except with respect to vacation time, years of service
performed for Seller prior to the Closing Date shall not be taken into account for benefit accrual
purposes under Purchaser’s employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements.

               (iii) It is the intent of the Parties that the sale of the Assets to Purchaser complies with
COBRA. In connection therewith, Purchaser shall be responsible for the provision of continuation
coverage in accordance with COBRA to or with respect to any of Seller’s Employee who becomes a
Hired Employee. Purchaser shall have no liability whatsoever, and Seller shall retain, bear and
discharge all liability, with respect to COBRA for any “qualified beneficiary” (as such term is
defined in the foregoing COBRA sections of ERISA and the Code) who became a qualified beneficiary
prior to the Closing Date or who becomes a qualified beneficiary by reason of any Seller’s
Employee not becoming a Hired Employee.

               (iv) Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Seller’s Employees to be fully
vested in their accrued benefits and account balances under each Employee Benefit Plan that
provides for vesting of benefits.

     8.2. Workers’ Compensation Claims. Seller is and shall be fully responsible and liable for
all workers’ compensation benefits payable to Seller’s Employees for any claim for such benefits
arising as the result of an injury or occupational disease sustained while employed by Seller.

          (g) Such
other documents and instruments as are contemplated in this Agreement or as

are based on, the result of, arise out of or are otherwise related to any of the following:

          (a) any

the Attendant Documents or any certificate, schedule, list or other
instrument to be furnished by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any of the

          (b) any
breach or failure of Seller to perform any covenant or agreement required to be

Attendant Documents;

          (c) any claim, demand, suit, action or legal, administrative or
other proceeding by any person (other than a Party) or any federal, state or local department,
agency or other governmental body (a “Third Party Claim”) against any of the Purchaser Parties
resulting from, arising out of or in any way related to (i) the failure of Seller to perform, pay or
discharge any Excluded Liability, or (ii) the operation of the Business prior to or on the Closing,
including,without limitation, any Medicaid/Medicare or third party payer liability or deficiency of
Seller or the Business arising prior to or on the Closing, as well as any breach of any Assumed
General Contract or Lease first arising prior to or on the Closing; and

          (d) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments,costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’
fees (collectively, “Related Expenses”),
incident to any of the foregoing.

     11.2.
Indemnification of Seller. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
consummated, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its partners,
employees, independent contractors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller
Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses which any of the
Seller Parties may suffer or for which any of the Seller Parties may become liable and which are
based on, the result of, arise out of or are otherwise related to any of the following:

          (a) any
breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, any
of the Attendant Documents or any certificate, schedule, list or
other instrument to be furnished by
Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Attendant Documents;

          (b) any
breach or failure of Purchaser to perform any covenant or agreement required to be
performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any of the
Attendant Documents;

          (c) any
Third Party Claim against any of the Seller Parties resulting from, arising out of or
in any way related to (i) the failure of Purchaser to perform, pay or discharge any Assumed
Liability, (ii) the operation of the Business after the Closing; or (iii) the failure of

-30-

 

Purchaser to offer employment to substantially all of Seller’s Employee in accordance with Section
8 above; and

          (d) any and all Related Expenses incident to any of the foregoing.

     11.3.
Claims for Indemnification. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this
Agreement, even if no payment is then due on account thereof, the
person or entity seeking
indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall
notify (the “Notice”) the Party against whom
indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”)
of the claim within thirty days after the
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of its existence and, when
known, the facts constituting the
basis for such claim. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the
Notice shall specify, if known,
the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising
therefrom. The Indemnified Party
shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the
prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless
suit shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not
have taken control of such suit in accordance with Section 11.4 below. With respect to a claim for
indemnification arising solely as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty under this
Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty days after receipt of the Notice
(the “Cure Period”) to remedy such breach of representation or warranty giving rise to such claim;
provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party is proceeding diligently and in good faith to cure
such breach of representation or warranty, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to extend the
Cure Period on notice to the Indemnified Party for a period of ninety days following receipt of the
Notice. Any breach of representation or warranty remedied within the Cure Period shall not
thereafter constitute a basis for a claim of indemnification.

     11.4.
Defense by the Indemnifying Party. Within fifteen days after receipt of the Notice, the
Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party,
assume the defense of any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party timely assumes the defense of
any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim and, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary in the defense or
settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the
defense of any Third Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided, however,
that if the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional
to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel
at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement
of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give the Indemnified Party written notice within fifteen
days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Notice that the Indemnifying Party is assuming
the defense of such Third Party Claim or if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume and continually
maintain the defense of the Third Party Claim within fifteen days after the Indemnifying Party’s
receipt of the Notice, the

-31-

 

Indemnified Party may assume sole control of defense or settlement of such claim at the sole cost
and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the
manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such Third Party Claim or the amount or nature of
any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of
the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such Third Party Claim in a
reasonably prudent manner. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, the
Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to assume and continually defend and/or
settle any indemnification claim under this Article 11 (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and
expense) if (i) the Indemnified Party concludes in good faith that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Party, or that another conflict of interest exists or may occur in defense of such claim, (ii) the
third-party in question is one of the Indemnified Party’s former, current or anticipated future
customers, or (iii) the Indemnified Party determines, in good faith, that there are other,
legitimate business reasons why it would not be in the best interests of the Indemnified Party,
Purchaser and/or the Business for the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not
control) the defense of such claim, with its own counsel and at its
own expense.

     11.5.
Minimization of Indemnities. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the
indemnification obligations of the other Parties under this
Section 11 by, among other reasonable
things and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, taking
such reasonable remedial action
as it believes may minimize such obligation and seeking to the maximum extent possible reimbursement
from insurance carriers under applicable insurance policies covering any such liability.

     11.6. Limitations on Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

          (a) no
claim for indemnification under Section 11.1 (a) or Section 11.2 (a) above may be made
under this Agreement after the expiration of the applicable period
set forth in Section 7.2 above;

          (b) no claim for indemnification under Sections 11.1 (b), 11.1 (c), 11.2 (b), or 11.2 (c) may
be made under this Agreement after March 31, 2007 (the later of March 31, 2007 or 3 years from the
date on which Medicare made the payment in question, with respect to governmental demands for
refunds or return of payments under Medicare);

          (c) no
claim for indemnification by any Party against another Party shall be valid and
assertable unless and until the aggregate amount of all claims exceeds $100,000.00, but then such
Party may seek indemnification for the full amount of all claims, the
aggregate amount of which
exceed the $100,000 basket, and

          (d) in
no event shall the aggregate amounts payable to the Purchaser Parties on account of
claims made under this Agreement exceed 40% of the Purchase Price;

provided, however, that the limitations set forth in subsection (d) shall not apply to claims for
alleged fraud or abuse, criminal activity, or fee splitting, or with respect to any document filed
or

-32-

 

to be filed by Seller under any third party payer program; and provided, further, that if the
claim to be indemnified is covered by the indemnitor’s insurance, then the $100,000 basket shall
not apply. Each indemnitee shall follow and be bound by all conditions of the indemnitor’s
insurance places on the right to defense and indemnity in lieu of the provisions of any provision
of this Article 11.

     11.7.
Exclusive Remedy. Except for specific performance, injunctive relief and recoveries
for claims of alleged fraud, indemnification pursuant to this
Section 11 (and the provisions of
Sections 12) shall be the sole remedy available to the Parties
for claims made under this Agreement.

     11.8.
Assignment of Claims. On satisfaction of the obligation to indemnify under this Section
11, and in consideration of such obligation, the Indemnified Party
will assign to the Party making
such payment any and all claims, causes of action and demands of
whatever kind and nature which such
Indemnified Party may have against any person, firm or other entity
giving rise to such indemnified
loss, and to reasonably cooperate in any efforts to recover therefrom.

     11.9.
Right of Offset. Any amounts payable by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement
(including pursuant to this Article 11) may, at the option of
Seller or Purchaser, be set off
against any amounts due Seller by Purchaser hereunder or under the Note.

     11.10.
Failure to Give Notice Timely. Notwithstanding the notice requirements provided in
Sections 11.1 and 11.2, the right to indemnification under this
Agreement shall not be affected by
any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice unless, and
then only to the extent that, the
rights and remedies of the party to whom such notice was to have been
given shall have been
prejudiced.

12. DEPOSIT, TERMINATION

     12.1. Deposit.

          (a) Each
Party has delivered a $30,000.00 earnest money deposit (individually,
a “Deposit” and collectively, the “Deposits”) to Seller’s attorney, Jacob &Weingarten, P.C., to be
held in such firm’s interest-bearing escrow account. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section
12.1, the Purchaser’s Deposit shall be non-refundable and shall
be payable to Seller upon
termination of this Agreement. At the Closing, Purchaser shall
receive a credit toward the Purchase
Price in the amount of its Deposit only, plus accrued interest thereon.

          (b) If
Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2 (c)(i) or (iii) below, then
Purchaser’s Deposit, plus accrued interest thereon, shall be
promptly repaid to Purchaser, and
Seller’s Deposit, plus accrued interest thereon, shall be promptly repaid to Seller.

          (c) If
Seller terminates this Agreement because the condition set forth in Section 9.2 (c) has
not been satisfied, then Purchaser’s Deposit, plus accrued
interest thereon, shall be promptly
repaid to Purchaser, and Seller’s Deposit, plus accrued interest
thereon, shall be promptly repaid
to Seller.

-33-

 

          (d) If
Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2 (b)(ii), Purchaser’s Deposit
shall be forfeited to Seller as liquidated damages (which shall be
Seller’s sole and exclusive
remedy against Purchaser and Seller shall have no right to seek
specific performance of this
Agreement). In addition, Seller’s Deposit, plus accrued interest
thereon, shall be promptly repaid
to Seller. SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (i) PURCHASER’S DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND
BEARS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED
AND COSTS THAT WOULD BE
INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF HAVING SUBJECTED THE ASSETS TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
FAILURE OF THE CLOSING TO OCCUR; (ii) THE ACTUAL DAMAGES
SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS
A RESULT OF SUCH SUBJECTION AND FAILURE TO CLOSE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT
AND IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE; (iii) PURCHASER SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS
LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR; AND (iv) THE DEPOSIT
SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

          (e) If
Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2 (c)(ii), Seller’s Deposit
shall be forfeited to Purchaser as liquidated damages (which shall be
Purchaser’s sole and exclusive
remedy against Seller and Purchaser shall have no right to seek
specific performance of this
Agreement). In addition, Purchaser’s Deposit, plus accrued
interest thereon, shall be promptly
repaid to Purchaser. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (i)
SELLER’S DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEARS
A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED AND
COSTS THAT WOULD BE INCURRED BY PURCHASER AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE CLOSING TO OCCUR; (ii)
THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY PURCHASER AS A
RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE TO CLOSE
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE; (iii) SELLER
SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE
DEPOSIT IN THE EVENT THE
CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR; AND (iv) THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

     12.2. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing:

          (a) by the mutual consent of Seller and Purchaser; or

          (b) by
Seller: (i) if any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2 above have not been
fulfilled, satisfied or waived by the Termination Date, or
(ii) if Purchaser materially breaches any
covenant or agreement, or any representation, warranty or covenant,
set forth in this Agreement at a
time when Seller is not in material default of this Agreement; or

          (c) by
Purchaser; (i) if any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 above have not been
fulfilled, satisfied or waived by the Termination Date, (ii) if
Seller materially breaches any
covenant or agreement, or any representation, warranty or covenant, set forth in

-34-

 

this Agreement at a time when Purchaser is not in material default of this Agreement; or (iii) if
there shall be any litigation, action, suit, claim, proceeding, order, investigation or inquiry
pending or threatened against Seller (by any person other than Purchaser or an affiliate of
Purchaser) before any court or quasi-judicial or administrative agency to, or pursuant to which a
judgment, order, decree, stipulation, injunction or charge could be entered which would: (A) enjoin
or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, (B) cause any of
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement to be rescinded following consummation, (C)
adversely affect the right of Purchaser to own, operate or control the Business, the Assets or the
Assignable Items, or (D) otherwise have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial
condition of the Business, the Assets or the Assignable Items.

     12.3. Effect of Termination. If terminated in accordance with Section 12.2 above, this
Agreement shall be null and void and have no further force or effect and neither Party shall have
any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in the
remaining provisions of this Section 12.3 or in Sections 13.1, 14.3, and 14.4. In the event that
the Parties mutually agree to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.2 (a), the
Deposits shall be returned to the Party making the Deposit. Otherwise, the Deposits shall be paid
and disbursed in accordance with Section 12.1 above.

13. ARBITRATION.

     13.1. Certain Disputes Only. The parties agree that any dispute (collectively, the
“Dispute”) with respect to whether Purchaser is entitled to a return of the Deposit, plus accrued
interest thereon (a “Deposit Dispute”), shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 13. Either Party may submit the Dispute to arbitration by notifying the
other Party in writing. Within ten days after receipt of such notice, the Parties shall designate
in writing one arbitrator to resolve the Dispute; provided, that if the Parties cannot agree on a
single arbitrator within such ten-day period, the Party seeking arbitration may file a proceeding
with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and as promptly as possible, the arbitrator
shall be selected by the AAA in accordance with its rules for the selection of truly neutral
arbitrators. The arbitrator so designated shall not be an employee, consultant, representative,
officer; director or stockholder of any Party, or any affiliate of any Party. Within fifteen days
after the designation of the arbitrator, the arbitrator and the Parties shall meet, at which time
each of the Parties shall be required to set forth in writing each disputed issue, a proposed
ruling on each such issue. This Section shall not apply to any other disputes arising under this
Agreement.

     13.2 Logistics. The arbitration shall be governed by the AAA rules, except as modified in
this Section 13. Each Party shall have the right to require the other Party to produce any
relevant documents or books or records. The arbitration shall be conducted in the Detroit
metropolitan area. The arbitration award shall be a declaration of whether the Deposit should or
should not be returned to Purchaser. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties consent and commit themselves to the
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Michigan for purposes of the enforcement of any
arbitration award. The prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to an award of actual
reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection with the arbitration ordinary enforcement action.
The non-prevailing party shall pay such fees, together with the fees of the arbitrator and

-35-

 

the administrative and filing fees and costs and expenses of the arbitration. The prevailing party
shall be the Party who receives the Deposit. All rulings of the arbitrator shall be in writing and
shall be delivered to the Parties.

other than Purchaser. Seller
agrees to notify the parties who have expressed interest in acquiring
the Business or the Assets
that Seller has entered into negotiations for the sale of the
Business and the Assets and, as such,
any offers from such parties are thereby rejected. Such notification
shall not reveal Purchaser’s

This Agreement has been executed in, and shall be construed and enforced

to the conflicts of law
principles thereof. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO

LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO,
THIS AGREEMENT.

     14.8. Assignment; Benefit. No Seller may assign its rights and obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Purchaser may assign its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to any party designated by Purchaser. If such designee is
an entity other than a corporation, the Parties shall amend this Agreement to the extent necessary
to reflect that fact. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties
and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 11, this Agreement is
not intended to, and shall not, benefit any person or entity other than the Parties and this
Agreement shall not create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity.

     14.9.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and the Schedules attached or
to be attached to it, is and shall be deemed to be the complete and
final expression of the
agreement between the Parties as to the matters contained in and
related to this Agreement and
supersedes any previous understandings, dealings and communications,
including negotiations, discussions, representations, warranties, information, documents and
agreements, between the Parties pertaining to such matters.

     14.10. Tax Matters.

          (a) Seller shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for Seller
for all periods as to which Tax Returns are due on or prior to the Closing Date (including the

Business for any period ending on or before the Closing Date). Seller shall make all payments
required with respect to any such Tax Returns.

-37-

 

          (b) Purchaser
shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for the

fees payable in connection
with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

     14.11.
Books and Records. Seller shall preserve all documents, books and records concerning the
Business and to be retained by Seller pursuant to this Agreement
(“Retained Records”) for a period
of three years from the Closing Date. Likewise, Purchaser shall
preserve all documents, books and
records concerning the Business to be transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (also
“Retained Records”) for a period of three years from the Closing Date. During such three-year
period, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, each Party shall allow the other
Party full access to the Retained Records and shall permit each other to make copies and extracts
from such documents (at the copying Party’s cost and expense). At the Closing, Seller shall deliver
to Purchaser all patient records, including, without limitation, all medical records, physician’s
orders, therapist’s notes, nurse’s notes, patient care plans and related items currently maintained
at or with respect to the Business (the “Patient Records”), and Purchaser shall preserve all Patient
Records for the period of time required by applicable law. Purchaser acknowledges that the Patient
Records are the property of the patients of the Business and are not owned by Seller. Purchaser
shall allow Seller full access to the Patient Records and shall permit Seller to make copies and
extracts from such documents (at Seller’s cost and expense), as reasonably required by Seller in
connection with the winding up of its affairs. To the extent certain Retained Records of Seller are
stored on a computer sold to Purchaser as part of this transaction, Purchaser shall preserve all
such records for a period of three years from the Closing Date, and during such three-year period,
on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, Purchaser shall allow Seller full access to
such computer records and shall permit Seller to make copies (electronic or on paper) there from.

14.12. Closing Adjustments.

     (a) At
the Closing: (i) Seller shall receive a credit for all security deposits held by any
lessor pursuant to the Leases; (ii) Purchaser shall receive a
credit on account of or by reason of
any rental or other payments due under any of the Leases which are
unpaid as of the Closing; and
(iii) if Seller has paid any rental or other payment due under
any of the Leases and any such
payment relates to a period after the Closing, then Seller shall
receive a credit to the extent any
such payment relates to a period after the Closing.

     (b) The
parties acknowledge that personal property taxes are paid in advance. Seller shall pay
all personal property taxes, which are a lien upon or levied against
any portion of the Assets
and/or the Leased Personal Property, and which are due and payable on
or prior to the Closing Date.
Personal property taxes which apply to a period after the Closing
shall be prorated on the Closing
Date on a due date basis and shall be paid by Seller (for the period
prior to and on the Closing
Date) or Purchaser (for the period after the Closing Date), as the case may be.

the Parties.

Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date,

cause to be executed and
delivered, such further instruments of conveyance, assignment and
transfer and shall take such other
action as Purchaser may reasonably request in order more effectively
to convey, transfer, reduce to
