SECTION ONE: MANAGEMENT DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS

1.01 Management of Facility. During the term of this Agreement, AdCare shall supervise the management of the Facility including but not limited to staffing, accounting, billing, collections, setting of rates and charges and general administration. In connection therewith AdCare (either directly or through supervision of employees of the Facility) shall:

(a) Hire on behalf of Owner and maintain (to the extent such personnel are reasonably available in the community in which the Facility is located) an adequate staff of nurses, technicians, office and other employees, including an administrator, at wage and salary rates for various job classifications approved from time to time by Owner; and release employees at AdCare’s discretion.

(b) Recommend and institute, subject to approval of Owner, appropriate employee benefits. Employee benefits may include pension and profit sharing plans, insurance benefits, and incentive plans for key employees and vacation policies.

(c) Design and maintain accounting, billing, patient and collection records; prepare and file insurance, and any and all other necessary or desirable reports and claims related to revenue production.

(d) Order, supervise and conduct a program of regular maintenance and repair of the Facility except that physical improvements costing more than $5,000.00 shall be subject to prior approval of Owner which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) Administer and schedule all services of the Facility.

(g) Supervise and provide the operation of food service facilities.

(h) Provide for the orderly payment (to the extent funds of Owner are available therefore) of accounts payable, employee payroll, taxes and insurance premiums.

(i) Institute standards and procedures for admitting patients, for charging patients for services, and for collection the charges from the patients or third parties.

(j) Advise and assist Owner in obtaining and maintaining adequate insurance coverage with Owner, Manager and such other persons as requested by Owner named as insured for the Facility. AdCare shall advise Owner with regard to the availability, nature and desirable policy limits of insurance coverage for the Facility, and shall request and receive bids for such coverage.

(k) Negotiate on behalf of Owner (and in conjunction with Owner’s counsel) with any labor union lawfully entitled to represent employees of the Owner who work at the Facility, but any collective bargaining agreement of labor contract must be submitted to Owner for approval and execution.

(l) Make periodic evaluation of the performance of all departments of the facility paying particular attention to those departments where there is an inconsistency between expenditures and budget.

(m) Establish and maintain books of account using accounts and classifications consistent with those used by AdCare at other facilities owned or leased by it or its affiliates.

(n) Advise and assist Owner in designing an adequate and appropriate public and personnel relations program.

1.02 Reports to Owner. AdCare shall prepare and deliver to Owner monthly financial statements (unaudited) containing a balance sheet and statement of income in reasonable detail, and such monthly financial statements will be delivered to Owner within 30 days after the close of each calendar month. AdCare shall submit to Owner each month a vacancy report for the Facility.

1.03 Bank Accounts and Working Capital. AdCare shall deposit all funds received from the operation of the Facility in an Operating Account in a bank or banks presently being used by the Facility or such other banks as are designated from time to time by AdCare. Owner shall provide sufficient working capital for the operation of the Facility and shall make deposits in the Operating Accounts of such working capital from time to time upon the request of AdCare. All costs and expenses incurred in the operation of the Facility shall be paid out of the Operating Accounts. All checks or other documents withdrawal must be signed by the Comptroller of AdCare or his designate. Deposits may be made by the Comptroller of AdCare or his designate.

1.04 Access to Records and Facility. The books and records kept by AdCare for the Facility shall be maintained at the Facility, although AdCare shall have the right to maintain copies of such records at its home office for the purpose of providing services under this Agreement. AdCare shall make available to Owner, its agents, accountants and attorneys, during normal business hours, all books and records pertaining to the Facility and AdCare shall promptly respond to any questions of Owner with respect to such books and records and shall confer with Owner at all reasonable times, upon request, concerning operation of the Facility. In addition, Owner shall have access to the Facility at all reasonable hours for the purpose of examining or inspecting the Facility.

1.05 Licenses.

(a) AdCare shall use its best efforts to manage the Facility in a manner necessary to maintain all necessary licenses, permits, consents, and approvals from all governmental agencies, which have jurisdiction over the operation of the Facility. AdCare shall not assume the liability for any employee action, failure to act or negligence prohibiting the intent of this provision to be met.

(b) Neither Owner nor AdCare shall knowingly take any action which may (1) cause any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the operation of the Facility to institute any proceeding for the rescission or revocation of any necessary license, permit, consent or approval, or (2) adversely affect Owner’s right to accept and obtain payments under Medicare, Medicaid, or any other public or private medical payment program; however, this Agreement in no way guarantees or warrants that any or all of the above will not or could not occur.

(c) AdCare shall, with the written approval of Owner, have the right to contest by appropriate legal proceedings, diligently conducted in good faith, in the name of the Owner, the validity or application of any law, ordinance, rule, ruling, regulation, order or requirement of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the operation of similar facilities. Owner, after having given its written approval, shall cooperate with AdCare with regard to the contest, and Owner shall pay the reasonable attorney’s fees incurred with regard to the contest. Counsel for any such contest shall be mutually selected by AdCare and Owner. AdCare shall have the right, without the written consent of the Owner, to process all third-party payment claims for the services of the Facility, including the full right to contest adjustments and denials by governmental agencies (or their fiscal intermediaries) as third-party payor.

1.06 Taxes. Any taxes or other governmental obligations properly imposed on the Facility are the obligations of the Owner, not of AdCare, and shall be paid out of the operating Accounts of the Facility. With the Owner’s written consent, AdCare may contest the validity or amount of any such tax or imposition on the Facility in the same manner as described in Section 1.05(c).

1.07 Use of AdCare’s Personnel. AdCare shall actively utilize AdCare staff specialists in such areas as accounting, auditing, budgeting, computer services, dietary services, housekeeping, industrial engineering, interior design, legal, nursing, personnel, pharmaceutical, purchasing, systems and procedures, and third-party payments for services of facilities in the management of the Facility when considered desirable by AdCare or upon the reasonable request of Owner.
