Representations and Warranties of Buyer
 
Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that as of Closing:
 
5.1. Organization of Buyer. Buyer is duly organized validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets.
 
5.2. Authorization. Buyer has all necessary corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally).
 
5.3. No Conflict or Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will result in (i) a violation of or a conflict with any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Buyer, (ii) a breach of, or a default under, any term or provision of any contract, agreement, indebtedness, Lease, Encumbrance, commitment, license, franchise permit, authorization or concession to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer or any of its assets are bound, (iii) a violation by Buyer of any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, order, judgment, writ, injunction, decree or award applicable to Buyer including, but not limited to the Securities Act, or (iv) an imposition of any Encumbrance, restriction or charge on the business of Buyer or on any of its assets.
 


16


5.4. Consent and Approvals. Except as set forth herein and in Schedule 5.4 attached hereto, no consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any Governmental Entity, or any other person is required to be made or obtained by Buyer in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for (i) transferring and/or obtaining new/replacement clinic Licenses as well as the other Licenses listed in Schedule 5.4, and (ii) transferring and/or the assignment of the Leases for the facilities listed in Schedule 1.1(c), and (iii) updating the officers, directors and registered agent with the Florida Department of State. Seller agrees to use its best efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining the transfer and/or assignment of such Leases and Licenses.
 
5.5. Investment Representations. Buyer is acquiring the issued and outstanding Company Stock for its own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or with any present intention of selling or distributing any thereof. Buyer understands and acknowledges that the issued and outstanding Company Stock is not registered under the Securities Act, and will not be subsequently transferable, except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor rule under the Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to a no-action letter issued by the SEC to the effect that a proposed transfer of the outstanding Company Stock may be made without registration under the Securities Act, or (iv) upon an opinion of counsel to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and relevant state securities laws. By such representation, the Buyer states that (x) it understands that the issued and outstanding Company Stock is being offered pursuant to a specific exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act, which exemption(s) depends, among other things, upon the investment intent of a purchaser, (y) no other person has a beneficial interest in the issued and outstanding Company Stock being acquired hereunder, and that no other person has furnished or will furnish directly or indirectly, any part of or guarantee the payment of any part of the consideration to be paid for the issued and outstanding Company Stock, and (z) the Buyer does not intend to distribute all or any part of the issued and outstanding Company Stock.

5.6. Compliance with Law. To the Buyer's knowledge, Buyer and the conduct of its business are in material compliance with all applicable material laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations, whether federal, state or local and whether foreign or domestic, except where the failure to comply would not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of Buyer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Buyer has not received any written notice to the effect that, or otherwise been advised that, it is not in compliance with any of such statutes, regulations, orders, ordinances or other laws where the failure to comply would have a material adverse effect an the business or financial condition of Buyer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

In addition to the foregoing, Buyer has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the officers and/or directors of Seller and Seller’s management personnel acting on its behalf concerning the business, its assets and this transaction, and to obtain any additional information, to the extent that Seller was in possession of such information, or was able to acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the Records and information furnished; and Buyer has availed itself of such opportunity to the extent Buyer considers appropriate in order to permit Buyer to evaluate the merits and risks of the contemplated acquisition of Seller’s shares or units of issued and outstanding Company Stock. With respect to the foregoing investigations, Buyer has determined and agrees that:

Buyer has examined the Facilities, Fixtures and Equipment and has found them to be in good operating condition and repair (except for ordinary wear and tear), and to be sufficient for the operation of the business as presently conducted.

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Claim or litigation resulting therefrom within ten (10) days after notice of such Claim is given to the Indemnified Party, then, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against such Claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question, defend against or limit liability as a result of the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such third party Claim or litigation, 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 or litigation, in a reasonably prudent manner.
 
8.3.3 Payment. Upon judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any third party Claim (a “Determination”) in a manner provided for by Section 8.3.2, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay on behalf of the Indemnified Party or to the Indemnified Party in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, the amount so determined by such Determination with respect thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the judgment. If the Indemnifying party desires to appeal from an adverse judgment, then the Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of the security or bond to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by the Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement, against the third party who made such third party Claim.
 
8.4. Further Assurances. Both at and after Closing, each party shall prepare, execute and deliver, at the other's direction and expense, such further instruments of conveyance, sale, assignment or transfer and such other documents, and shall take or cause to be taken such other or further action, as the party shall reasonably request at any time or from time to time in order to perfect, confirm or evidence in Buyer’s title to all or any part of the issued and outstanding Company Stock and underlying assets or to perfect Seller's right to, and receipt of, the Purchase Price, or to consummate, in any other manner the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
 
8.5. No Prohibited Assignment: Best Efforts. This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any claim, contract, license, lease, commitment, sales order or purchase order if any attempted assignment of the same without the consent of the other parties thereto would constitute a breach thereof or in any way affect the rights of the Seller thereunder and such consent has not been obtained. If such consent is not obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would affect the Seller's rights thereunder so that the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, then, Seller shall use Seller’s best efforts to cause Buyer to be placed in the same economic position as if such consent or assignment had been effected. In doing so, Seller shall thereafter not be in breach of its related representations and warranties under this Agreement.

(e)  Basic Health shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a minimum balance in the General Account of each Subsidiary Entity of not less than $30,000.00, and to cause the prompt replenishment thereof at anytime such accounts fall below such minimum amount.

1.7 At the Subsidiary Entities’ respective expense, Management Company shall cause to be maintained, at its principal office, full, adequate and separate books and records as are necessary to reflect all transactions of the Subsidiary Entities and of Management Company with respect to the Subsidiary Entities. Such books and records shall be kept in a manner such that accounting statements may be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Basic Health and the Subsidiary Entities shall have the right and privilege of examining such books and records at the Management Company's principal office at any and all reasonable times during normal business hours. Management Company shall not destroy, dispose of, or remove to another location any such books or records, except by delivery thereof to Basic Health, or as Basic Health may otherwise instruct. Upon termination of this Agreement, all books and records shall be forthwith delivered to Basic Health, but all such books and records shall thereafter be available to Management Company at all reasonable times for inspection, audit, examination, and transcription for a period of not less than seven (7) years from the date of said termination.
 
1.8 Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Management Company shall direct the relevant Employed Persons and instruct the relevant Employed Professionals, selected by Basic Health, to deliver to Basic Health an accounting for the operations of the Subsidiary Entities, including a detailed profit and loss statement and balance sheet showing the results of operation of the Subsidiary Entities for the preceding quarter and for the calendar year (the "Fiscal Year") to date and the cash needs, if any, for the subsequent three months.

1.9 Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, Management Company shall direct the relevant Employed Persons and instruct the relevant Employed Professionals, selected by Basic Health, to deliver to Basic Health unaudited financial statements including a detailed balance sheet, a statement of cash flows and an income and expense statement showing the results of operations of the Subsidiary Entities during such Fiscal Year. Such financial statements shall be calculated according to the methods determined by Basic Health, and in accordance with GAAP.
 
1.10 Management Company shall maintain materially complete and accurate records of its receipts from the Subsidiaries operations to pay its Management Fees. Upon Basic Health’s reasonable request, Management Company shall make such records, and all other documents and materials in the possession or control of Management Company available to Basic Health for examination. Basic Health shall have the right, at any time, to cause an audit of the books, records, and operations of the Subsidiary Entities to be made by an independent certified public accounting firm. Management Company agrees to cooperate fully with such auditors, and shall make available to them any and all information concerning the Subsidiary Entities. Basic Health shall deliver to Management Company copies of all financial reports regarding the Subsidiary Entities promptly after they are received from such auditors. Any adjustment to any Management Fee required because of the results of such audit shall be made by the parties within ten (10) business days of receipt of the audit. The cost of any such independent audit shall be an administrative and general expense of the Subsidiary Entities for the Fiscal Year in which such audit occurs.

All such expenditures shall be subject to the reasonable control of Basic Health.
 
2.3 Management Company shall bear sole responsibility for payment of federal and state income tax withholding, social security taxes, and unemployment insurance applicable to Management Company, and Management Company shall bear sole responsibility for any of its own health or disability insurance, retirement benefits, or other welfare or pension benefits (if any).

2.5 Management Company shall receive a management bonus (“Bonus”) plan consisting of an annual payment equal to 20% of any increase in the EBITDA of any Subsidiary Entity compared to the EBITDA of the Subsidiary Entity for the twelve (12) months ended September 30, 2005. In addition to the foregoing, the Bonus plan shall include an annual payment equal to 20% of the Subsidiary Entities’ EBITDA on new locations opened after the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 6. TERM AND TERMINATION
