On December 31, 2006, Pacer Health Management Corporation of Kentucky (“Pacer”), a Kentucky corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacer Health Corporation (the “Registrant”) closed on that certain Hospital Operating Lease Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Knox Hospital Corporation, d/b/a Knox County Hospital, a Kentucky non-profit corporation (the “Hospital”) and the County of Knox, Kentucky (“Knox County” and together with the Hospital, the “Knox County Parties”) pursuant to which Pacer shall lease all of the assets and real property used in connection with the Hospital from the Knox County Parties in exchange for an annual lease payment equal to the amount of annual payment due by Knox County on those certain County of Knox, Kentucky Taxable General Obligation Refunding Bonds (Knox County Hospital Project), Series 2006 (the “Bonds”), after applying the capitalized interest which is to be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds.  The annual lease payment shall be payable by Pacer to a Trustee for the Bonds in equal monthly installments as is more specifically set forth in Exhibit 3.1 to the Agreement.  Knox County had issued the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $15,775,000.  


The Hospital is a general acute care hospital located on that certain parcel of real property owned by Knox County and leased to the Hospital for the purpose of operating the Hospital.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Knox County Parties transferred and delegated full and complete management responsibility and operational control for the Hospital to Pacer.  Additionally, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Pacer, or its designee, shall have the option to purchase all of the Facility Assets (as such term is defined in the Agreement) from the Knox County Parties and assume all of the Facility Liabilities (as such term is defined in the Agreement) excluding liability for the Excluded Liabilities (as such term is defined in the Agreement) for a purchase price equal to the sum of (a) the lesser of: (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds on the closing of such purchase or (ii) what the principal balance of the Bonds would have been if all lease payments and other payments to be made by Pacer to the Trustee were used to satisfy the principal and interest due under the Bonds at the date of each such payment plus (b) any prepayment penalties on the Bonds and (c) less any funds then held in any debt service reserve fund, bond fund or any other fund or account in any way pertaining to the Bonds.  A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
