PART I
Overview and Background of Assisted Living Operations
Greenbriar Corporation (the "Company") is a leading assisted living company that operates assisted and full service independent living communities designed to serve the needs of the elderly population. Assisted living residents generally comprise frail elderly persons who require assistance with the activities of daily living such as ambulation, bathing, eating, personal hygiene, grooming and dressing, but who do not generally require more expensive skilled nursing care. Independent living residents typically require only occasional assistance but receive other support services. In addition, the Company also develops and operates communities for residents suffering from Alzheimer's or other related dementia, a growing specialty within the assisted living industry.
As of March 31, 1998, the Company operated 55 communities in 12 states, with a capacity of 4,260 residents, consisting of 52 communities in which the Company has ownership or leasehold interests and three communities managed for third parties. One of the Company's leased properties is managed by a third party. The Company plans to pursue an aggressive growth strategy through development and construction and, when opportunities arise, to acquire other communities and assisted living companies through strategic acquisitions. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had three assisted living communities with capacity for 138 residents under construction or development.
The Company existed from 1981 until 1989 as a real estate investment trust. In late 1989, control of the Company changed to current management, who undertook to dispose of its REIT properties and establish a new focus on services to and products for the elderly. In 1991 the REIT was reorganized as a Nevada Corporation. Until 1994, the Company's business was the acquisition, operation and sale of retirement, nursing and other healthcare communities, as well as commercial real estate, and the manufacture and sale or lease of mobility assistance equipment. In 1994 the Company decided to change its business emphasis to the assisted living industry, and by early 1996 it had sold its existing nursing homes and retirement centers, most of its commercial real estate, and its mobility equipment subsidiaries.
Beginning in 1995 the Company began developing and constructing assisted living communities; however, the significant growth that occurred was through acquisitions that were completed in 1996 and 1997.
Acquisition of Wedgwood Retirement Inns, Inc.
Effective March 31, 1996, Greenbriar acquired Wedgwood Retirement Inns, Inc. ("Wedgwood"), which along with its principals owned various interests in 15 predecessor entities, each of which owned, leased or managed at least one assisted or independent living community.
Wedgwood was one of the first builders and management companies in the retirement and assisted living industry. At the time of the acquisition Wedgwood owned and managed 1,292 units of full-service retirement and assisted living, including some that provided Alzheimer's care. The communities were located in six states: Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, New Mexico and Texas. As of March 1996, Wedgwood had three communities under construction, containing 225 assisted living units and Alzheimer's beds.
Wedgwood was purchased from 23 individuals, all of whom were unrelated to Greenbriar, who received 1,624,958 shares of Greenbriar common stock.
Acquisition of American Care Communities, Inc.
Effective December 31, 1996, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of American Care Communities, Inc. ("American Care"). American Care owned or leased 15 assisted living communities with approximately 1,350 units, located primarily in North Carolina and managed one community for a third party. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated
financial statements were restated to include the accounts and operations of American Care for all periods prior to the merger.
Acquisition of The Windsor Group
In October 1997 Greenbriar issued 160,000 shares of Greenbriar common stock in the acquisition of the Windsor Group. The Windsor Group owned and operated two communities in South Carolina with a resident capacity of 162 and had two communities under construction and expansion underway in one of the two existing communities. The completion of that construction will provide the service capacity for an additional 122 residents.
Acquisition of Villa Residential Care Homes, Inc.
On December 29, 1997, Greenbriar acquired Dallas, Texas based Villa Residential Care Homes, Inc., and related partnerships ("Villa"). Villa leased and operated 12 assisted living communities in Texas with a resident capacity of 955. A Greenbriar subsidiary became the managing general partner of the operating partnerships.
The purchase price was 184,476 shares of registered Greenbriar common stock and 10,464,321 operating partnership units convertible after a one year holding period into 536,990 shares of Greenbriar common stock subject to future registration rights. An additional 85,984 shares of common stock and 1,568,904 operating partnership unites convertible into 80,510 shares of common stock subject to future registration rights may be issued within two years based on certain of the communities meeting performance requirements. The total number of Greenbriar common shares to be issued in the transaction will therefore be between 721,466 and 887,960.
Real Estate Operations
As of March 31, 1998, the Company owned three shopping centers in Georgia. While all the centers are profitable, they do not fit into the Company's long range strategic plans and commitment to the assisted living industry. The Company is actively attempting to sell all the centers.
The Assisted Living IndustryAssisted Living Industry
The Company believes that the assisted living industry is emerging as a preferred alternative to meet the growing demand for a cost-effective setting in which to care for the elderly who do not require the more intensive medical attention provided by a skilled nursing center, but who cannot live independently due to physical or cognitive frailties. In general, assisted living represents a combination of housing, general support services and 24-hour a day personal care services designed to aid elderly residents with the activities of daily living ("ADLs"). Certain assisted living communities may also provide assistance to residents with low acuity medical needs, or may offer higher levels of personal assistance for incontinent residents or residents with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Generally, assisted living residents have higher levels of need than those of residents of independent retirement living communities but lower than those of residents in skilled nursing centers. Annual expenditures in the assisted living industry have been estimated to be approximately $12 billion, including communities ranging from "board and care" to full-service assisted living communities such as those operated by the Company.
The Company believes that assisted living is one of the fastest growing segments of elderly care and will continue to experience significant growth due to the following:
Consumer Preference. The Company believes that assisted living is increasingly becoming the setting preferred by prospective residents and their families in which to care for the frail elderly. Assisted living offers residents greater independence in a residential setting, which the Company believes results in a higher quality of life than that experienced in more institutional or clinical settings, such as skilled nursing centers.
Demographic and Social Trends. The target market for the Company's services is generally persons 75 years and older, one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the portion of the U.S. population age 75 and older is expected to increase by 31%, from approximately 13.2 million in 1990 to over 16.6 million by the year 2000, and the number of persons age 85 and older is expected to increase approximately 41% during the 1990s from 3.1 million to approximately 4.5 million. It is estimated that approximately 57% of the population of seniors over age 85 need assistance with ADLs and approximately 50% of such seniors develop Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. According to the United States Bureau of the Census, the median net worth of householders age 75 and older has increased from $61,491 in 1988 to $76,541 in 1992.
Accordingly, the Company believes that the number of seniors who are able to afford high-quality residential environments, such as those offered by the Company, has increased in recent years.
Lower Average Cost. The Company believes that the average annual cost to residents receiving assisted living care in the Company's assisted living communities is significantly less than the cost of receiving similar care in a skilled nursing center. According to the Marion Merrell Dow Inc. Managed Care Digest Series, Institutional Digest 1995, the average annual cost per person in 1994 in the United States for private nursing home care was approximately $36,000.
Changing Supply of Long-term Care Beds. Most of the states in which the Company currently operates have enacted certificate of need ("CON") or similar legislation that restricts the supply of licensed nursing center beds. These laws generally limit the construction of nursing centers and the addition of beds or services to existing nursing centers, and hence tend to limit the available supply of traditional nursing home beds. In addition, some long-term care centers have started to convert traditional nursing home beds into sub-acute beds. The Company also believes that high construction costs and limits on government reimbursement for the full cost of construction and start-up expenses also will constrain the growth and supply of traditional nursing home centers and beds. The Company expects that this tightening supply of nursing beds coupled with the aging population will create an increased demand for assisted living communities.
Business Strategy
The Company believes that significant growth opportunities exist to provide assisted living services to the rapidly growing elderly population. The Company has aggressively expanded its operations through the acquisition of communities and assisted living companies. The Company also seeks to improve the operating performance of its communities through the continued enhancement of its operations. The Company is developing and constructing communities in markets where it already has its management infrastructure in place and in markets that are underserved.
The majority of the Company's current communities are operated and marketed on a private-pay, single occupancy basis. Most double occupancy is non-related people who are state-assisted residents. Most of the Company's state-assisted residents are in Texas and North Carolina communities. Texas is one of a few states that has a Medicaid waiver program currently operating. North Carolina has one of the best reimbursement rates in the nation for assisted living and was a pioneer in supporting the development of assisted living as one way of containing costs of caring for the state's aging population.
As America ages, the Company believes that more states will adopt a reimbursement policy similar to Texas and North Carolina, primarily a double occupancy approach. Some, however, may stress a single occupancy approach. The Company believes that the assisted living industry will primarily continue as a private-pay industry for the foreseeable future, but may become more price-sensitive as more people need assisted living and for longer periods due to increased life spans. Costs of caring for an aging America may become more of a private-pay, state-assisted partnership than currently exists.
The Company uses the same development strategy for special care units in combined Alzheimer's and assisted living communities and in dedicated special care communities. The units and common space are designed for flexibility so that they can be primarily single occupancy or primarily double occupancy - again, based on market demand.
The Company believes that this occupancy-flexible development strategy will provide a competitive advantage over its competitors who do not have units and common space large enough to readily accommodate double occupancy.
The top management of the Company has extensive acquisition experience and contacts in the assisted living and long-term care industry. The rapid growth achieved this past year came primarily from acquisitions. The Company believes that acquisition is the best way to meet its growth goals. The full service retirement and assisted living industry is very fragmented and still primarily a single proprietor business.
Acquisition Strategy. The Company may acquire one or more communities or assisted living companies as a means to enter new markets and may also make acquisitions within its existing regions to gain further market share and leverage its existing operating infrastructure. In reviewing acquisition opportunities, the Company considers, among other things, the competitive climate, the current reputation of the community or the operator, the quality of the management, the need to reposition the community in the marketplace and costs associated therewith, the construction quality and any need for renovations of the community and the opportunity to improve or enhance operating results.
Operating Strategy. The Company's operating strategy is to achieve and sustain a strong competitive position within its chosen markets as well as to continue to enhance the performance of its operations. The Company also will seek to enhance its current operations by (i) maintaining and improving occupancy rates at its communities; (ii) opportunistically increasing resident service fees; and (iii) improving operating efficiencies.
Offer Residents Customized Care and Service Packages. The Company continually seeks to expand its range of services to meet the evolving needs of its residents. The Company offers each of its residents a personalized assisted living service plan which may include any combination of basic support care, personal care, supplemental services, wellness services, and if needed, Alzheimer's and special care services, subject to the level of services allowed to be offered by the licensing in place at each community. By offering services in an "unbundled" manner, charging only for the services needed and involving the active participation of the resident, the Company is able to customize its service plans to meet the specific needs of each resident. As a result, the Company believes that it is able to maximize customer satisfaction while avoiding the high cost of delivering all services to all residents without regard to need or choice. The care plan for each resident is periodically reviewed and updated by the Company, the resident, the resident's family and the resident's physician.
Maintain and Improve Occupancy Rates. The Company also seeks to maintain and improve occupancy rates by continuing to (i) attract new residents through marketing programs directed towards family decision makers, namely adult children and potential residents, (ii) actively seek referrals from hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, physicians' clinics, home healthcare agencies and other acute and sub-acute healthcare providers in the markets served by the Company and (iii) develop new market niches such as respite care, adult day care and other specialty care programs sought by caregivers.
Selectively Increase Service Pricing Levels. The Company regularly reviews opportunities to increase resident service fees within its existing markets, while maintaining competitive market positions. In keeping with this strategy, the Company will continue to offer high quality assisted living services at average to above average prices and generally target private-pay residents. The Company's private-pay residents are typically seniors who can afford to pay for services from both their own and their families' financial resources. Such resources may include social security, investments, proceeds from the sale of their residence, contributions from family members and insurance proceeds from long-term care insurance policies.
Improve Operating Efficiencies. The Company seeks to improve operating results of its communities by actively monitoring and managing its operating costs. In addition, the Company believes that concentrating communities within selected geographic regions may enable the Company to achieve operating efficiencies through economies of scale, reduce corporate overhead and provide for more effective management supervision and financial controls. The Company is also able to obtain volume discounts through enhanced purchasing power for a variety of items including food supplies, insurance, equipment and other items.
Offer Alzheimer's Dedicated Communities. As of March 1998, the Company had 17 communities with distinct special care wings specifically designed to serve the needs of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia through the provision of a variety of specialty care services. The Company plans to build a portion of its new communities with a distinct Alzheimer's wing which will allow the Company to offer this service to the elderly with this disease and other forms of dementia, will create an opportunity for residents to age in place within the same community, and will allow special security and support of Alzheimer's residents. The Company believes this will allow it to continue serving residents for a longer period of time, and provide a desirable alternative for its residents and their families. However, most of the new communities will be designed to be flexible enough to allow the Alzheimer's wing to be used only for assisted living residents if demand for Alzheimer's care is not adequate to justify maintaining a distinct Alzheimer's program in a
particular community. The Company's experience and research indicate that Alzheimer's residents often respond better by sharing a suite with another Alzheimer's resident rather than being in a single occupancy suite. Consequently, the Company's Alzheimer's programs are designed to allow double occupancy, although rooms are available on a single occupancy basis.
Assisted Living Services
The Company offers a wide range of full service retirement and assisted living care and services to its residents. The residents are allowed to select among the services offered beyond basic support services and are charged only for the services they need. Management believes this provides the Company with a competitive advantage over other service providers in the industry who offer discrete levels of services and base their charges on the level of services offered regardless of whether a resident requires or uses all of the services available at a particular level.
The services offered by the Company can generally be categorized as follows:
Basic Support Services. These services include providing up to three meals per day in a common dining room, special dietary planning, laundry, general housekeeping, organized social and other activities, transportation, communities maintenance, utilities (except telephone) and 24-hour security monitoring.
Supplemental Services. These services include performing, coordinating or assisting with bill paying, banking, personal shopping, transportation, appointments, pet care and reminder services.
Personal Care Services. These services include providing assistance with activities of daily living (the ADL's) such as ambulation, bathing, eating, dressing, personal hygiene and grooming.
Wellness Services. These services include assistance with the administration of medication and health monitoring by a nurse, which are provided as permitted by government regulation.
Alzheimer's and Special Care Services. The Company has a distinct Alzheimer's special care wing in 17 of its existing communities and generally plans to include a distinct Alzheimer's wing in the communities constructed and developed by the Company for the assisted living market. Alzheimer's care includes a higher 24-hour staff ratio to provide oversight and activity programs scheduled around-the-clock in the Alzheimer's wing, which is secured from the rest of the building and includes secured outdoor walking paths.

Occupancy
Key:
S - basic support and supplemental services are offered.
FE - basic support, supplemental, personal care and wellness services are
offered ("Frail Elderly").
DC - Alzheimer's and special care services are offered ("Dementia Care").
(1) Anticipated number of residents, although capacity exists for
additional residents with double occupancy of more units.
(2) Subject to first mortgage. Historically, each community has generally
been pledged as collateral on a single mortgage or deed of trust
securing a note payable to a bank, financial institution, individual or
other lender. The mortgages and deeds of trust mature between 1998 and
2018 and bear interest at fixed and variable interest rates ranging
from 7.5% to 11.35% as of December 31, 1997. The Crown Pointe community
is subject to a mortgage and note payable to the Redevelopment Agency
of the City of Corona, California, is payable into a sinking fund
semi-annually in increasing amounts from $65,000 to $420,000 through
May 2015, and bears interest at a variable interest rate equal to 5.6%
at December 31, 1996. Future communities owned and mortgaged by the
Company will likely be pledged as collateral for mortgage credit lines,
which relate to more than one community. See Item 6. "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
(3) Leased from third party individuals or partnership. Initial lease terms
generally range from 10 to 20 years, and mature between 1999 and 2011.
The Company is responsible for all costs including repairs to the
community, property taxes and other direct operating costs of the
community. Leases generally include clauses that allow for rent to
increase over time based on a specified schedule or on an increase in
the consumer price index. Generally, the Company has an option to
purchase the community after a specified period, or at expiration of
the lease, at a price generally equal to market value. As of December
31, 1997, the Company had available, subject to periodic review,
commitments for approximately $90 million of lease credit lines for
future communities. See Item 6. "Management's Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation - Liquidity and Capital Resources."
(4) Community is leased from a Real Estate Investment Trust. The lease was
part of a sale - leaseback transaction. The lease commenced in 1994 and
expires in 2009. The Company has an option to purchase the community in
2004 and in 2009 for an amount equal to the greater of the sales price
or the current replacement cost less actual depreciation.
(5) Company owns 60% of real estate and the lessee.
(6) Crown Pointe is being expanded and construction is expected to be
complete in April. Upon completion, there will be 165 units with a
capacity of 168. Five of these units will be designated as Alzheimer
units with an effective capacity of eight.
(7) Company owns 49% of lessee. Victor L. Lund, a director of the Company,
owns the other 51%, and the Company has an option to purchase his
interests in these entities for $10,000.
(8) Of these units, 114 have been sold to residents who then pay a reduced
monthly fee. The Company agrees to repurchase the units that are sold
at a price ranging from 65% to 80% of the fair market value at the date
of repurchase, based upon the number of years the resident owned the
unit.
(9) Leased from a REIT for 15 years expiring in 2011.
(10) Property is managed by third party.
Plans for Construction. The Company generally retains independent general contractors to construct its communities. The Company approves all aspects of development including, among other things, site selection, plans and specifications, the proposed construction budget and selection of the architect and general contractor. The Company estimates the average capitalized cost to develop, construct and open a community (including land acquisition, architectural and engineering, construction period interest and loan fees) to be approximately $75,000 per unit, and average construction time for a typical community to be approximately twelve to eighteen months, depending upon the number of units. The Company estimates that, once opened, it takes approximately six to twelve additional months after licensure for each community to achieve a stabilized occupancy level of 92% or higher. The Company anticipates that each community will have an average operating loss (before depreciation) of approximately $350,000 prior to reaching stabilized occupancy. Expansion projects generally cost less to build and to lease up.
Development and Construction Risks. The Company's growth strategy is dependent, in part, on its ability to develop and construct additional communities. Development projects generally are subject to various risks, including zoning, permitting, healthcare licensing and construction delays that may result in construction cost overruns, longer development periods and, accordingly, higher than anticipated start-up losses. Although the Company has extensive development experience, closely manages each development project and regularly monitors the contractors constructing the Company's communities, project management is subject to a number of contingencies over which the Company has little or no control and which might adversely affect project costs and completion time. Such contingencies include shortages of, or the inability to obtain, labor or materials, the inability of contractors to perform under their contracts, strikes, adverse weather conditions and changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the method of applying such laws and regulations. The Company intends to rely on third-party developers to construct some of the new assisted living communities planned by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties in working with developers, project managers, general contractors and subcontractors, any of which difficulties could result in increased construction costs and delays. As a result of these various factors, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience construction delays, that it will be successful in developing and constructing currently planned or additional communities or that any developed community will be economically successful. If the Company's planned development is delayed, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Need for Additional Financing; Risk of Rising Interest Rates, Development Delays and Cost Overruns. To achieve its growth objectives, the Company will need sufficient financial resources to fund its development, construction and acquisition activities. Accordingly, the Company's future growth will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms. The Company expects to experience negative cash flow from operations for at least 12 months following March 1998 as it continues to develop and construct assisted living communities. There can be no assurance that any newly constructed communities will achieve a stabilized occupancy rate and attain a resident mix that meet the Company's expectations or generate sufficient positive cash flow to cover operating and financing costs associated with such communities. The Company will, from time to time, seek additional funding through public or private financing, including equity or debt financing. If additional funds are raised or acquisitions are made in exchange for equity securities, stockholders may experience dilution. Further, such equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the Common Stock. To the extent the Company finances its activities through debt, sale/leaseback or leasing arrangements, the Company may become subject to certain financial and other covenants which may restrict its ability to pursue its rapid growth strategy. There can be no assurance that adequate equity, debt, sale/leaseback or lease financing will be available as needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. A lack of available funds may require the Company to delay, scale back or eliminate all or some of its development and acquisition projects and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See Item 6. "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Repair and Maintenance. The Company conducts routine repairs and maintenance of its communities on a regular basis, as needed. Several of the Company's communities acquired in the Wedgwood, American Care and Villa acquisitions have been in operation for ten years or more. The Company has no other current plans for significant expenditures relating to its existing communities, and considers them to be in good repair and working order.
Community Description
The Company's existing communities as of March 1998 range in size from 12 to 165 units, are from one to three stories, and from 10,000 to 148,000 square feet. Most of the new communities to be constructed by the Company will have 60 or more units, one or two stories and 35,000 to 70,000 square feet. Each community has or will have a large family room, usually equipped with a fireplace, a spacious open dining area, library, TV room, commercial kitchen, beauty salon, laundry, and indoor and outdoor recreational areas. Units generally range in size from approximately 330 to 400 square feet for a studio unit, to 470 to 650 square feet for a one bedroom unit, and 680 to 850 square feet for a two bedroom unit. Assisted living units typically include a private bathroom, kitchenette, closets, living and sleeping areas, as well as a lockable door, emergency call system, individual temperature controls, fire alarm and sprinkler system, among other amenities.
Alzheimer's care units are approximately the same size as studios and contain only sleeping, limited storage and, in some of the units, bathroom areas. Most do not have emergency call systems but do have sprinkler and fire alarm systems.
Operations
The day-to-day operations of each community are managed by an Executive Director who is responsible for all operations of the community, including overseeing the quality of care and services, marketing, coordinating social activities, monitoring financial performance and ensuring appropriate maintenance of the grounds and building. The Company also consults with outside providers, such as pharmacists and dieticians, to assist residents with medication review, menu planning and response to any special dietary needs. Personal care, dietary services, housekeeping and laundry services are performed primarily by line staff who are either part or full-time employees of the Company and who are trained to perform a variety of such services. Most building maintenance services are performed by part or full-time employees, while elevator, HVAC maintenance and landscaping services are generally performed by third party contractors.
The Company's senior management and other personnel located at the Dallas, Texas executive office and King City, Oregon and Spartanburg, South Carolina area offices provide support services to each of the Company's communities, including development of operational standards, budgets and quality assurance programs, recruiting, training, and financial and accounting services, such as data processing, accounts payable, billing and payroll services. Corporate personnel and community Executive Directors collaborate with respect to the establishment of community goals and strategies, quality assurance oversight, development of Company policies and procedures, development and implementation of new programs, cash management, human resource management and community development.
The Company has attracted and continues to seek highly dedicated, experienced personnel. The Company has created formal training programs accompanied by review and evaluation procedures to help ensure quality care for its residents. The Company has a national learning center at its Dallas corporate headquarters to provide training for community Executive Directors and other personnel. The Company believes that education, training and development enhance the effectiveness of its employees. All employees are required to complete the Company's training program, which includes a core curriculum comprised of personal care basics, job related specific training, Alzheimer's disease processes, first aid, fire safety, nutrition, infection control and customer service. Executive Directors receive training in all of these areas, plus marketing, community relations, healthcare management, life skills programming and fiscal management. In addition to classroom training, the Company's communities provide new employees with on the job training, utilizing experienced staff as trainers and mentors.
Quality Assurance
The Company coordinates quality assurance programs at each of its communities through its corporate headquarters staff and through its regional operations staff. The Company's commitment to quality assurance is designed to achieve a high degree of resident and family member satisfaction with the care and services provided by the Company. In addition to ongoing training and performance reviews of all employees, the Company's quality control measures include:
The Greenbriar Way. At Greenbriar the foremost mission is excellence in service to residents. To that end, the Company's leadership dedicates itself to excellence in the supervision and professional development of Service Partners, whose day-to-day duty is to provide that service.
The Company's philosophy of management is to demonstrate by its actions and require from its Service Partners high standards of personal integrity; to develop a climate of openness and trust; to demonstrate respect for human dignity in every circumstance; to be supportive in all relationships; to promote teamwork by involving Service Partners in the management of their own work; and to promote the free expression of ideas and opinions.
The Quality Initiative. The Greenbriar Initiative for Quality is the product of a collaborative effort of corporate leadership and Greenbriar's Professional
Advisory Board to provide the underlying philosophy for the Greenbriar commitment to deliver quality in the lives of residents, their families and friends, the Service Partners and owners and all who come under the umbrella of Greenbriar Corporation.
It is rooted in the belief that life for the residents can be meaningful and fulfilling and that residents can and should make the decisions concerning their daily life. The Initiative for Quality partners with "The Greenbriar Way", the program for Service Partner training and performance, and becomes the consistent way in which care is provided throughout the day.
The Initiative for Quality and The Greenbriar Way distinguish the Company. Through it individuals will come to the Greenbriar Communities not only to live but to life.
The Company has employed Herbert Shore, Ed.D., president of Shore & Associates Geriatric and Elderly Services, Dallas, Texas, as a Quality of Life Consultant. He has been a long term care administrator and has previously taught at the Center for Studies in Aging at the University of North Texas. His primary responsibility is to assist management in developing and implementing the Company's Quality of Life Initiative.
Family and Resident Feedback. The Company surveys residents on an annual basis to monitor the quality of services provided to residents and the level of satisfaction of residents and their families. The Company is presently implementing surveys of family members of residents to monitor the quality of services. The Company also plans to establish an "800" number customer response line to encourage feedback from residents, family members, and other visitors in it's communities.
Regular Community Inspections. Community inspections are conducted by regional vice presidents and other regional staff on a regular basis. These inspections cover the appearance of the exterior and grounds; the appearance and cleanliness of the interior; the professionalism and friendliness of staff; resident care plans; the quality of activities and the dining program; observance of residents in their daily living activities; and compliance with governmental regulations. A detailed community audit program is used to assure the inspections are thorough and to facilitate corrective action, if required.
Marketing
The Company's marketing and sales efforts are undertaken on both regional and local levels. This effort is intended to create awareness of the community and its services among prospective residents, their families, other key decision-makers and professional referral sources. The corporate marketing staff develops overall strategies for promoting the community throughout its markets and continuously assesses the success of its efforts. Most communities have on staff a Company relations coordinator dedicated to sales and marketing activities, who is guided and trained by corporate marketing personnel. For smaller communities who do not have a community relations coordinator, the Executive Director performs these sales and marketing functions.
Prior to opening new communities, the Company commences an aggressive marketing campaign by opening a sales office in close proximity to the community. During this pre-opening marketing period, the Company's personnel actively contact local referral sources, which generally account for a majority of resident referrals. In addition, the Company typically engages in more traditional types of marketing activities, such as direct mailings, print advertising, signs and yellow page advertising. These marketing activities and media advertisements are directed to potential residents and their adult children, who often comprise the primary decision makers for placing a frail elderly relative in an assisted living setting.
Government Regulation
Healthcare is an area of extensive and frequent regulatory change. In contrast, the assisted living industry is relatively new and, accordingly, the manner and extent to which it is regulated at the federal and state levels is evolving.
In the states in which the Company operates, a license is not required to provide basic support services. Currently, assisted living and Alzheimer's care communities are not specifically regulated as such by the federal government.
However, the Company's communities are subject to regulation and licensing by state and local health and social service agencies and other regulatory authorities. Although regulatory requirements vary from state to state, these requirements generally address, among other things, staff education, training and records; staffing levels; community services, including administration and assistance with self-administration of medication; physical community specifications; size and furnishing of community units and common areas; food and housekeeping services; emergency evacuation plans; and resident rights and responsibilities. Most of the Company's communities are required to possess state licenses in order to provide the levels and types of services in the states in which they operate. A limited number of the Company's communities is not required to possess such licenses, however, because they do not supply care and/or supervision to an extent requiring them to be licensed under their respective state's laws. The Company's communities are also subject to various state or local building codes and other ordinances, including safety codes. Management anticipates that the states which are establishing regulatory frameworks for assisted living communities will require licensing of assisted living communities and will establish varying requirements with respect to such licensing. The Company has obtained all required licenses for each of its communities and expects that it will obtain all required licenses for each new community. Each of the Company's licenses must be renewed annually.
Currently, only a few states have certificate of need ("CON") requirements for assisted living communities. If federal and state reimbursements increase or there is overbuilding in the industry, other states may initiate CON requirements. If this occurs, the operators who can grow rapidly in the next few years could have a distinct advantage, inasmuch as this barrier to entry could limit overbuilding and competition, such as occurred in some nursing home markets in the past.
Like healthcare centers, assisted living communities are subject to periodic survey or inspection by governmental authorities. From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company receives deficiency reports. The Company reviews such reports and seeks to take appropriate corrective action. Although most inspection deficiencies are resolved through a plan of correction, the reviewing agency typically is authorized to take action against a licensed community where deficiencies are noted in the inspection process. Such action may include imposition of fines, imposition of a provisional or conditional license or suspension or revocation of a license or other sanctions. Any failure by the Company to comply with applicable requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that its communities are in substantial compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
A few states have already elected to participate in the Medicaid Home and Community Care Options Act of 1990 ("MHCCOA") and several other states are studying the program. Texas, where the Company is headquartered, is one of the states that have already elected to participate in the program. Under MHCCOA, states now have the option to use Medicaid funds to support services for low income, frail older persons, in places of residence other than nursing centers. The program allows the state to amend its Medicaid statutes to use funds in this manner, thus avoiding the repeated process of obtaining a Medicaid waiver. Any community participating in this payment program must meet all applicable state and federal rules and regulations.
The Company participates in federal and state reimbursement programs. However, the Company expects the bulk of its revenues to come from private payments. Conversely, if the proposed Medicaid block grants are signed into law, the Company could experience a dramatic increase in revenues from these sources, particularly with respect to its double occupancy units. Many of the Company's existing and to be built communities can accommodate double occupancy and still provide a quality lifestyle.
The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), enacted July 26, 1990, has had and will have a major effect on the full service residential retirement and assisted living industry. The communities developed or acquired by the Company must be in compliance with this act. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 also prohibits discrimination against the handicapped in the sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or communities in connection with such a dwelling. This intensifies the need to be in compliance with the ADA. Regulation of the industry is likely to increase, particularly for those providers accepting Medicaid reimbursements.
In compliance with the underlying state bond financing, rents at one community in Oregon must be approved by an agency of the state. Two other communities financed with loans guaranteed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") have rents requiring approval by HUD. The Company has not experienced any denials of requested rents or rent increases.
Competition
The long-term care industry generally is highly competitive and the assisted living and Alzheimer's care businesses in particular have and will continue to become increasingly competitive in the future. The Company competes with other assisted living companies and numerous other companies providing similar long-term care alternatives such as home health agencies, community-based service programs, retirement communities and convalescent centers (nursing homes). In addition, the Company competes with a number of tax-exempt nonprofit organizations which can finance capital expenditures on a tax-exempt basis or receive charitable contributions unavailable to the Company and which are generally exempt from income tax. In most markets where the company operates or plans to operate the level of competition is increasing both from regional and national providers and local providers. The Company expects this trend to continue and many markets may be overbuilt. If reimbursement programs such as the medicaid waiver program increases, assisted living competition will grow from existing and new companies focusing primarily on assisted living. Nursing home centers that provide long-term care services are also a source of competition for the Company, particularly with respect to Alzheimer's care services. Many of the Company's present and potential competitors have, or may have access to, greater financial, management and other resources than those of the Company. There can be no assurance that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company competes with other providers of elderly residential care on the basis of the breadth and quality of its services, the quality of its communities and price. The Company believes that it competes favorably in these areas and in its recruitment and retention of qualified healthcare personnel and reputation among local referral sources. The Company also competes with other providers of long-term care in the acquisition and development of additional communities.
As noted, the Company competes with other providers of long-term care with respect to attracting and retaining qualified and skilled personnel. In recent years, the healthcare industry has experienced a shortage of qualified healthcare professionals. The Company's operations require few professionally certified (RN or LPN) staff, primarily for supervision of care staff. While the Company has been able to retain the services of an adequate number of professionals to staff its communities appropriately and maintain its standards of quality care, there can be no assurance that continued shortages will not affect the ability of the Company to maintain the desired staffing levels.
The Company is seeking sites and acquisition candidates primarily in non-metropolitan communities located in the western, southern and southeast regions of the United States that are not currently served or are under served. It is identifying these markets and intends to provide premier services and amenities at average to above average prices. It is also providing special care services in a residential setting for those with memory loss and Alzheimer's, the primary cause of memory loss. These residents are not mixed with other assisted living residents. The Company believes that this combination of target markets and services may improve its ability to compete with non-specialized assisted living communities and nursing homes.
Insurance
The provision of personal and healthcare services entails an inherent risk of liability. Compared to more institutional long-term care communities, assisted living communities of the type operated by the Company, especially its dementia care communities, offer residents a greater degree of independence in their daily lives. This increased level of independence, however, may subject the resident and the Company to certain risks that would be reduced in more institutionalized settings. The Company currently maintains liability insurance intended to cover such claims which it believes is adequate based on the nature of the risks, its historical experience and industry standards. The Company also carries property insurance on each community in amounts that it believes to be adequate and standard in the industry.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum
product releases at such property, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. Such laws typically impose clean up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants, and the liability under such laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of responsibility. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to remediate properly such property, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or lease such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or redemption of such substances at the disposal or treatment community, whether or not such community is owned or operated by such person. Finally, the owner or operator of a site may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a site.
The Company has conducted environmental assessments of all of the sites currently under construction or development, as well as thirty-two of its existing communities that it operates plus one community it leases that is operated by a third party. These assessments have not revealed any environmental liability that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any such environmental liability. Wedgwood has operated, for periods ranging from 2 to 19 years, nine communities for which environmental assessments have not been obtained. The Company believes that all of its communities are in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority, and is not otherwise aware, of any material non-compliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of its communities.
Control by Insiders
As of March 31, 1998, the Company's officers and directors and entities with which they are affiliated beneficially owned approximately 62.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; Mr. James R. Gilley, Chairman of the Board of the Company, a corporation wholly owned by him, and his spouse and adult children (as individuals or as trustees for various family trusts), beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 31.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, Mr. Victor L. Lund, a director of the Company and the founder of Wedgwood, beneficially owned approximately 16.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and Floyd B. Rhoades, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a founder of American Care, beneficially owned approximately 12.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Gilley family owns series D Voting Preferred Stock, which for stockholder votes, is the equivalent of 675,000 Common Shares. Accordingly, such individuals will have the ability, by voting their shares in concert, to control or significantly influence (i) the election of the Company's Board of Directors and, thus, the direction and future operations of the Company, and (ii) the outcome of all other matters submitted to the Company's stockholders, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the Company's officers and directors, including James R. Gilley, currently hold options or conversion rights to acquire 988,000 shares of Common Stock, certain of which options are subject to vesting requirements. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of these stock options granted to management under the Company's stock option plan, would increase the number of shares held by the Company's executive officers and directors in the future.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain, among other things, provisions (i) establishing a classified board of directors; (ii) authorizing shares of preferred stock with respect to which the Board of Directors has the power to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions without any further vote or action by the stockholders; (iii) requiring holders of at least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock to join together in requesting a special meeting of stockholders; and (iv) prohibiting removal of a director other than for "cause", and then only if the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock vote for such removal. The Company is also subject to Sections 78.411-78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "Control Act") which in general prohibits any business combination involving the Company and a person that beneficially owns 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or an
affiliate or associate of the Company who within the past three years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, or 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, except under certain circumstances. The application of the Control Act and/or the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws could delay, deter or prevent a merger, consolidation, tender offer, or other business combination or change of control involving the Company that some or a majority of the Company's stockholders might consider to be in their personal best interests, including offers or attempted takeovers that might otherwise result in such stockholders receiving a premium over the market price of the Common Stock, and may adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of, the holders of Common Stock.
Employees
At March 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 1834 employees, including 1294 full-time and 540 part-time employees. The Company believes it maintains good relationships with its employees. None of the Company's employees are represented by a collective bargaining group.
Corporate Offices
Offices
The Company's principal office is a 27,500 square feet building that it owns in
Dallas, Texas. The Company's Dallas office will meet the Company's needs for the
foreseeable future.
See Item 1 for a discussion of properties owned or leased by the Company.
The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings that are incidental to its business. The following are the legal proceedings that are pending at March 1998.
Southern Care Corp. vs Greenbriar, et al.
In Southern Care Corp. v. Medical Resource Companies of America, (former name of Greenbriar) Civil Action No. 94-1132-K, Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia, the plaintiff seeks damages exceeding $1,500,000 relating to the management and operation of four nursing homes the Company sold to plaintiff. The Company has filed a counterclaim for breach of the management contract between the homes and a Company subsidiary.
The Company does not believe it has breached any obligation to Plaintiff regarding management of the nursing homes and does not believe Plaintiff will prevail on the merits, although there can be no assurance in this regard. At the same time that Plaintiff unilaterally and without notice terminated the management contract, the Plaintiff also claimed that indebtedness of approximately $6.7 million assigned to the Company was discharged.
In 1995 the plaintiff and the Company each filed cross motions for summary judgment on the issue of whether the indebtedness was discharged. On December 3, 1997 the Georgia Court of Appeals granted Greenbriar's motion for summary judgment where they determined that the indebtedness was not discharged. In February 1998 the Georgia Supreme Court refused to hear the matter. The amount of indebtedness, including accrued interest, is approximately $ 11 million. The Company's basis for financial statement purposes in the indebtedness, net of related deferred gains, is approximately $ 4.2 million.
Health Care Property Investors vs. Greenbriar, et al.
In October, 1996, Health Care Property Investors, Inc. filed a complaint for unspecified damages against the Company, Victor L. Lund, a director of the Company, and related entities and others. Health Care Property Investors alleges that entities related to the Company had breached terms of two leases of communities through a transfer of control of the tenant without the payment of "transfer consideration" called for in the leases. In addition, Health Care Property Investors alleges that the Company tortuously interfered with the leases because of the transfer.
In October 1997 the court granted a motion for summary judgment which was filed on behalf of all the defendants in the case. HCPI has agreed not to file an appeal and reimburse the Company for a majority of their legal fees.
Benetic Financial vs. Wedgwood et al.
The plaintiff seeks to collect in excess of $1,000,000 on an alleged loan brokerage agreement. There is no signed loan brokerage agreement between Wedgwood and the plaintiff in this action. Plaintiff alleges that he delivered a loan brokerage agreement to Wedgwood, which they verbally accepted.
In October 1997 a directed verdict was entered in favor of Wedgwood and all other defendants. Wedgwood and another defendant were awarded reimbursement of their legal fees. The Company has been notified that Benetic has appealed the court's ruling.
The Company has been named as defendant in other lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 1997.
Part II
The Company's Common Stock is traded under the symbol "GBR" and is listed on the American Stock Exchange. The high and low closing sales prices of the Company's Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange during the last two fiscal years:
1997 1996
------------------------ ------------------------

Fourth Quarter 21 17 5/8 16 12 3/8
|
The above prices have been adjusted to reflect a one for five reverse split of the Common Stock that occurred on December 1, 1995.
The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock during at least the last ten fiscal years and, for the foreseeable future, the Company expects to retain all earnings to finance the future expansion and development of its business. Any determination to pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. The Company's ability to pay dividends in the future may be limited by the terms of future debt financing and other arrangements.
No dividends can be paid on the Company's common stock if dividends are in arrears on the Company's preferred stock. All dividend payments on preferred stock are current.
The closing price on the Company's common stock on March 31, 1998, was $14.06 per share. As of March 31, 1998, there were 3,823 holders of record of the Company's common stock.
Overview
During 1994 the Company began a series of steps to focus its business on the development, management and ownership of assisted living properties. The Company's historical businesses during the past five years have included ownership and operation of skilled nursing and retirement centers, real estate investments and manufacture and leasing of electric convenience vehicles and wheelchairs. The nursing and retirement centers and convenience vehicle businesses have been sold, and the real estate investments are being liquidated. During 1994, the Company began independently to develop its assisted living business, began construction of its first assisted living community in July 1995, and opened such community to residents on May 30, 1996. By July 1, 1996, the Company (not including the communities of Wedgwood and American Care) had three additional assisted living communities under construction. In order to increase the Company's presence in the assisted living industry, create geographic diversity and obtain experienced personnel, the Company acquired Wedgwood in March 1996, American Care in December 1996, Windsor in October 1997 and Villa in December 1997. The acquisitions of Wedgwood, Windsor and Villa have been accounted for as purchases, and the historical financial statements of the Company do not include any revenues or earnings (losses) attributed to those operations prior to the acquisition. The American Care acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations of American Care for all periods prior to the acquisition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $3,037,000.
In December 1997 the Company sold Series F and Series G preferred shares for $22,000,000 less selling and offering costs of $453,000. Payment was received in January 1998.
The Series F voting preferred stock has a liquidation value of $10.00 per share and each share is convertible into 5.7 shares of common stock. The holder has the option to convert beginning in January 2000 and must convert by January 2001. Cumulative dividends are payable in cash at a rate of 6%.
The Series G preferred stock has a liquidation value of $10.00 per share and each share is convertible into 5.7 shares of common stock. The holder has the option to convert beginning in January 2000 and must convert by January 2001. Cumulative dividends are payable in cash at a rate of 6%.
In connection with the sale, the Company entered into an agreement which provides that, on the date of conversion, if the value of the Company's common stock has not increased at the annual rate of at least 14% during the period the preferred shares are outstanding, the Company is required to make a Cash Payment (the Cash Payment) to the preferred stockholders equal to the market price deficiency on the shares received upon conversions.
The 14% guaranteed return will be accredited by a charge to accumulate deficit. The amount of the Cash Payment that would be required assuming conversion at each balance sheet date will be transferred from stockholders equity to temporary equity. At December 31, 1997, no Cash Payment would have been due assuming conversion took place.
Throughout 1997 and into 1998 the Company has been refinancing certain of its long term debt. In July 1997 and January 1998 the Company refinanced the debt on a total of six of its communities resulting in a lower interest rate and additional working capital of $2,800,000 and $1,935,000 respectively.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company has loans in place or has received commitments for future financing, subject, in the case of the commitments, to final documentation, as follows:
(i) Health Care REIT, Inc. has issued a commitment to provide $90 million to acquire and pay 100% of the construction costs of assisted living communities to be leased to the Company. The term of the leases will be the maximum term available for operating lease treatment but not less than 13 years plus three five-year renewal options. The credit facility will expire on December 31, 2000. A 1 % commitment fee is required, as each lease is entered into. The Company will have the option to purchase each community at the end of the term for its original cost plus 50% of the increase in its fair market value. As additional security to the lessor, the Company will provide a letter of credit for 5% of the amount financed, a first lien on personal property and receivables of the community, and subordination of management fees and rentals from subtenants.
(ii) In 1995 Investors Real Estate Trust ("IRET") issued a commitment to provide 100% of the construction costs up to $2,810,000 for Sweetwater Springs in Lithia Springs, Georgia that opened in October 1996. Upon completion the community was leased to the Company for a term of 15 years. In 1996 the commitment was increased by $1,540,000 to a maximum of $4,350,000 in order to provide for the construction of a second phase of the community consisting of 16 Alzheimer's special care units. The Company has an option to purchase the Community at fair market value during the first nine months of the fourteenth year of the lease. The lease is secured by the community.
Construction of the second phase has been deferred indefinitely. Though some of the additional funding has been utilized, the remaining funds available are considered sufficient to complete the second phase.
In addition to development and construction financing, described above, Comerica Bank-Texas has issued a commitment to provide $1,600,000 to finance buses and other vehicles to transport residents of the Company's communities. Each vehicle will be financed at 90% of cost and the loan for each vehicle will be amortized over 48 months. The interest rate will be prime plus one percent. As of March 31, 1998, the company has used $600,000 of this commitment. The Company believes it has adequate resources to complete its communities currently under construction and development and plans to use the balance of such committed sources and its net working capital in excess of operating needs for future development of assisted living communities.
Future development activities of the Company are dependent upon obtaining capital and financing through various means, including financing obtained from sale/leaseback transactions, construction financing, long-term state bond financing, debt or equity offerings and, to the extent available, cash generated from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate capital to finance its projected growth.
Fiscal 1997 as Compared to Fiscal 1996
Revenues and Operating Expenses from Assisted Living Operations. Revenues increased to $38,979,000 in 1997 as compared to $29,785,000 in 1996. The primary reasons for the increase were the acquisition of Wedgwood and the continued growth of Greenbriar. Wedgwood was acquired effective March 31, 1996 and as such the financial statements for 1996 reflect nine months of operations as compared to twelve months of operations in 1997. In addition, the Company's total communities increased from 32 at December 31, 1996 to 52 at December 31, 1997. Community operating expenses, which consist of assisted living community expenses, lease expense and depreciation and amortization, were $34,306,000 in 1997 as compared to $25,152,000 in 1996. The primary reasons for these increases, as discussed above, is the acquisition of Wedgwood and the continued growth of Greenbriar.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. These expenses were $5,652,000 in 1997 as compared to $6,731,000 in 1996. The overall decrease, despite the growth of the Company, was due to the consolidation of accounting and administrative functions into the Dallas office. During 1996 Greenbriar, Wedgwood and American Care were operated as three separate companies. Each company had its own corporate office, executive officers, corporate staff, accounting department and other related costs. In the first quarter of 1997 these corporate functions were centralized in Dallas.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income was $479,000 in 1997 as compared to $771,000 in 1996. The decrease is due to a decrease in cash available for investment.
Interest Expense. These expenses increased to $6,801,000 in 1997 as compared to $4,457,000 in 1996. The increase is due to the increase in the number of communities the Company owned in 1997 as compared to in 1996.

In December 1997 management determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to exchange its note receivable of $2,000,000 for certain of the borrower's trade receivables. Due to the uncertainty as to the value of the trade receivables the Company has fully written off the note and has placed no value on the trade receivables. Further, the Company has preferred stock of $2,100,000 in the above borrower. Due to deteriorating financial condition of the borrower the Company has fully written off it's investment.
When the Company acquired Wedgwood certain representations were made by the seller. Subsequent to the acquisition two lawsuits were filed against the Company and the seller. In October 1977 the Company and the seller entered into an agreement whereby the Company would indemnify the seller for any damages resulting from the lawsuits and agreed to assume responsibility for all legal fees associated with the lawsuits. In return the seller agreed to give the Company 125,000 shares of Greenbriar stock. Subsequent to the agreement both the defendants were awarded a summary judgment and a directed verdict, including legal fees, by the respective courts. The Company has recorded a gain on the transaction of the fair market value of the stock, net of legal fees.
In October the Company agreed to an early payoff on a loan on three of it's communities. The loan, which was refinanced at a lower rate of interest had a prepayment penalty.
Discontinued Operations. Earnings from discontinued operations consist of the real estate operations that are classified for sale. The real estate operations had net earnings of $153,000 in 1997 and $238,000 in 1996. The decrease in 1997 was a result of the sale of the North Carolina shopping center in April 1997. The sale resulted in a gain of $323,000, net of income tax, in 1997.
Deferred Taxes. At December 31, 1997, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $2,632,000. The asset is expected to be recovered within 2-3 years from earnings of current operations as well as gains from sales of assets.
Fiscal 1996 as Compared to Fiscal 1995
Revenues and Operating Expenses from Assisted Living Operations. Revenues increased to $29,785,000 in 1996 as compared to $7,964,000 in 1995. The principal reasons for the increase were the acquisition of Wedgwood and the growth of American Care. Wedgwood was acquired effective March 31, 1996, and the financial statements reflect nine months operations with respect to the 16 communities acquired in the Wedgwood acquisition. American Care in December 1995 acquired the remaining 70% of five assisted living communities in which a 30% minority interest had been acquired in January 1995. The increase was also due to the acquisition by American Care of one assisted living community in June 1995 and three assisted living communities in December 1995. Assisted living community operations, lease expense, depreciation and amortization and interest expense all increased substantially in 1996 as compared to 1995. The primary reason for these increases, as discussed above, is the acquisition of Wedgwood and the growth of American Care.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. These expenses were $6,731,000 in 1996 as compared to $3,948,000 in 1995. The increase in these costs was primarily due to the acquisition of Wedgwood and American Care. The increase in the size of the Company, as well as the geographic dispersion of the properties being managed requires additional general and administrative costs. In addition, during 1996, Greenbriar, American Care and Wedgwood were operated as three separate companies. Each company had its own corporate office, executive officers, corporate staff, accounting department and other related costs (See Merger and Transition Expenses).
Merger and Transition Expenses. During 1996, both Greenbriar and American Care, as separate companies, were attempting to raise money through the capital markets. On a combined basis, the costs of these efforts were $774,000, which the companies expensed during 1996.
The acquisition of American Care has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. This method of accounting requires the companies to expense the cost of the combination. The cost of lawyers, accountants, investment bankers and other expenses related to the combination that was incurred by both Greenbriar and American Care was approximately $983,000. These costs were expensed in 1996.
A key component of the acquisition of American Care was the opportunity it provided for long-term cost savings by consolidating the accounting, legal and other administrative functions of Greenbriar, American Care and Wedgwood. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a one-time charge to earnings of $1,079,000 to reflect the anticipated cost of consolidating the three companies.
Discontinued Operations. Earnings from discontinued operations reflect the real estate operations, which are currently held for sale. In February 1996, the Company's sale of American Mobility Inc. resulted in a gain on sale, net of tax, of approximately $520,000.
Deferred Taxes. At December 31, 1996, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $868,000. The asset is expected to be recovered within 2-3 years from earnings of current operations as well as gains from sales of assets.
Effect of Inflation
The Company's principal sources of revenues are from resident fees from Company-owned or leased assisted living communities and management fees from communities operated by the Company for third parties. The operation of the communities is affected by rental rates that are highly dependent upon market conditions and the competitive environment in the areas where the communities are located. Compensation to employees is the principal cost element relative to the operations of the communities. Although the Company has not historically experienced any adverse effects of inflation on salaries or other operating expenses, there can be no assurance that such trends will continue or that should inflationary pressures arise that the Company will be able to offset such costs by increasing rental rates or management fees.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Management's' Discussion and Analysis are forward looking statements that predict the future development of the Company. The realization of these predictions will be subject to a number of variable contingencies, and there is no assurance that they will occur or be realized in the time frame proposed. The risks associated with the potential actualization of the Company's plans include: contractor delays, the availability and cost of financing, availability of managerial oversight and regulatory approvals, to name a few.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Greenbriar Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Greenbriar Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Greenbriar Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Greenbriar Corporation
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Greenbriar Corporation's business consists of development and operation of assisted living communities located throughout the United States, which provide housing, hospitality and personal and healthcare services to elderly individuals. At December 31, 1997, the Company had 53 communities in operation in 12 states with a total capacity for 4,089 residents.
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenbriar Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Assisted living community revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable value based upon expected amounts to be recovered from residents, third party payors, and others for services rendered. Services provided by certain of the Company's communities are reimbursed under various state assistance plans.
Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of property and equipment to operations over their estimated service lives, ranging from 3 to 40 years. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method.
Gains on sales of real estate are recognized when the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," are met. Until the requirements for full profit recognition have been met, a transaction is accounted for using either the deposit, cost recovery, installment sale, or financing method, whichever is appropriate under the circumstances.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Greenbriar Corporation
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - Continued
The Company considers all short-term deposits and money market investments with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
A note receivable is identified as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. The accrual of interest is discontinued on such notes, and no income is recognized until all past due amounts of principal and interest are recovered in full.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from using the assets and eventually disposing of them. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the asset's fair value.
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123).
Goodwill is being amortized on the straight-line method over a period of fifteen years. Other intangibles include deferred financing costs, which are being amortized over the terms of the related borrowings under a method which approximates the interest method.
In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
(SFAS 128). In accordance with SFAS 128, the Company computes basic earnings
(loss) per common share based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential common shares had been issued. In 1997 and 1996 all potential
common shares were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 128 had
no effect on 1997 and 1996 loss per share amounts.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS
In March 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a number of companies under common control and managed by Wedgwood Retirement Inns, Inc. (Wedgwood). The business of these companies consists of the operation of 15 assisted living and Alzheimer's communities. To structure the Wedgwood acquisition as a tax-free exchange, the Company also acquired a shopping center in North Carolina from James R. Gilley and members of his family (the Gilley Group). Due to the fact that the Gilley Group is a majority stockholder of Greenbriar and owner of the shopping center, the property was recorded at the Gilley Group's historical cost basis of approximately $2,300,000. Consideration given was 675,000 shares of Series D preferred stock. Wedgwood's assets were valued at approximately $58,000,000 ($54,000,000 of property and equipment) and liabilities assumed were approximately $44,000,000. In exchange, Greenbriar issued 1,949,950 shares of Series E preferred stock, valued at approximately $14,000,000, to the Wedgwood shareholders. In 1996, the stockholders of the Company granted conversion rights to the series E preferred stock and it was converted into approximately 1,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The operations of Wedgewood have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since April 1, 1996.
In October 1997, the Company acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Windsor Group LLC (Windsor) and all of the common stock of three companies who were affiliates of Windsor. The business of these companies consists of the operation of three assisted living communities in South Carolina. Consideration given was 130,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at approximately $2,533,000. Additionally, upon completion of a community under construction, the Company will issue 28,531 additional shares of its common stock. Assets acquired were valued at approximately $12,100,000 and liabilities assumed were approximately $9,567,000. The operations of Windsor and affiliates have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since October 1, 1997.
On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Villa Residential Care Homes, Inc. (Villa). Additionally, through a newly created partnership, the Company acquired lease rights and assumed certain liabilities of a number of entities affiliated with Villa. The business of these entities consists of the operation of 12 assisted-living communities throughout Texas. Consideration given was 184,476 shares of the Company's common stock and 10,464,321 units of the partnership valued at approximately $10,394,000. The operating partnership units are convertible after a one-year holding period into 536,990 shares of the Company's common stock. For accounting purposes, the common shares into which the operating units will be converted have been included in outstanding common shares. Assets acquired, which consist primarily of lease rights, were valued at $11,100,000 and liabilities assumed were approximately $706,000.

On December 31, 1996, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of American Care Communities, Inc. (American Care). At the date of acquisition, American Care, owned or leased 15 assisted living communities with approximately 1,350 units, located primarily in North Carolina. The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the operations of American Care for all periods prior to the merger.
In connection with the merger, a shareholder of American Care settled certain of American Care's obligations in exchange for approximately 45,000 shares of the Company's common stock received in the merger. For accounting purposes, this transaction, valued at $600,000, has been reflected as a contribution of capital with a corresponding charge to operations. Additionally, the Company incurred expenses related to the merger of $983,000, expenses related to attempted capital market activities of $774,000 and accrued severance costs related to the closure of the administrative offices of American Care and Wedgwood of $1,079,000. These amounts have been included in the statement of operations as merger and transition expense.

NOTE C - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 1995, management decided to sell the mobility products segment. The segment was sold in February 1996 for 8% preferred stock, which is not marketable, and notes valued at approximately $4,300,000, based upon fair value as determined by the Board of Directors. A gain of approximately $788,000, less applicable income taxes of $268,000 was recorded in 1996.
In 1996, the Company entered into negotiations to sell its remaining non-assisted living real estate assets. Accordingly, the Company's non-assisted living real estate operations have been reflected as discontinued operations. Management expects that the proceeds from the sales will be at least equal to the carrying value of the real estate assets.
In 1997, the Company sold one of its real estate assets for cash consideration and recorded a gain of $491,000, less applicable income taxes of $169,000.
The operations of the real estate segment have been presented in the accompanying financial statements as discontinued operations.

Certain of the loan agreements contain various restrictive covenants, which require, among others things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined.
NOTE F - FINANCING OBLIGATIONS
The Company operates two communities that are financed through sale-leaseback obligations. At the end of the tenth year of the fifteen-year leases, the Company has options to repurchase the communities for the greater of the sales prices or their current replacement costs less depreciation plus land at current fair market values. Accordingly, these transactions have been accounted for as financings, and the Company has recorded the proceeds from the sales as financing obligations, classified the lease payments as interest expense and continues to carry the communities on its books and record depreciation. Payments under the lease agreements are $1,167 for each of the years 1998 through 2001.
NOTE G - OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases certain retirement centers under operating leases which expire through the year 2011 and has various equipment operating leases. The leases provide that the Company pay for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

NOTE H - INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22,000,000 which expire between 1999 and 2012. However, approximately $5,100,000 of these net operating loss carryforwards have limitations that restrict utilization to approximately $600,000 for any one year. Also, carryforwards of $1,800,000, which expire between 2006 and 2008, may only be used to offset future taxable income of the subsidiaries in which the losses were generated.

The Series D preferred stock has a liquidation value of $5 per share and is convertible into common stock at $10.00 per share. Dividends are payable in cash at a rate of 9.5%.
The Series F voting preferred stock has a liquidation value of $10.00 per share and each share is convertible into .57 shares of common stock. The Series F shareholders have the rights, as a class, to elect one member of the Company's board of directors and to approve or reject certain transactions, including any mergers or spin-offs involving the Company. The holder has the option to convert beginning in January 2000 and must convert by January 2001. Dividends are payable in cash at a rate of 6%.
The Series G preferred stock has a liquidation value of $10.00 per share and each share is convertible into .57 shares of common stock. The holder has the option to convert beginning in January 2000 and must convert by January 2001. Dividends are payable in cash at a rate of 6%.
The Series F and Series G preferred shares were sold in December 1997 for $22,000,000, less selling and offering costs of $453,000. Payment was received in January 1998. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into an agreement which provides that, on the date of conversion, if the value of the Company's common stock has not increased at an annual rate of at least 14% during the period the preferred shares are outstanding, the Company is required to make a Cash Payment (the Cash Payment) to the preferred stockholders equal to the market price deficiency on the shares received upon conversion.
The 14% guaranteed return will be accreted by a charge to accumulated deficit. The amount of the Cash Payment that would be required assuming conversion at each balance sheet date will be transferred from stockholders' equity to temporary equity. At December 31, 1997, no Cash Payment would have been due assuming conversion took place.
In 1993, the Company established a long-term incentive plan (the 1993 Plan) for the benefit of certain key employees. Under the 1993 Plan, up to 217,500 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for issuance. Options granted to employees under the 1993 Plan become exercisable over a period as determined by the Company and may be exercised up to a maximum of 10 years from date of grant. In 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan, under which up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock are reserve for issuance.
In 1996 and 1997, the Company granted to the Chairman of the Board options, not covered by either plan, for 200,000 shares and 400,000 shares of common stock, respectively, which are exercisable immediately and expire in 2006 through 2007. Additionally, in 1997, the Company granted to the Chief Executive Officer options, not covered by either plan, for 200,000 shares of common stock, which are exercisable immediately and expire in 2007.

SFAS 123 requires disclosure of pro forma net earnings (loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per share as if the fair value based method had been applied in measuring compensation cost for stock-based awards granted after January 1, 1995. The pro forma amounts are not necessarily representative of the effects of stock-based awards on future pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per share because those pro forma amounts exclude the pro forma compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted before 1995.

In December 1997, management determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to exchange its note receivable of $2,000,000 for certain of the borrower's trade receivables. Due to the uncertainty as to the value of the trade receivables the Company has fully written off the note and has placed no value on the trade receivables. Further, the Company has preferred stock of $2,300,000 in the above borrower. Due to deteriorating financial condition of the borrower the Company has fully written off its investment.
When the Company acquired Wedgwood certain representations were made by the seller. Subsequent to the acquisition two lawsuits were filed against the Company and the seller. In October 1997, the Company and the seller entered into an agreement whereby the Company would indemnify the seller for any damages resulting from the lawsuits and agreed to assume responsibility for all legal fees associated with the lawsuits. In return, the seller agreed to give the Company 125,000 shares of Greenbriar stock. Subsequent to the agreement both the defendants were awarded a summary judgment and a directed verdict, including legal fees, by the respective courts. The Company has recorded a gain on the transaction of the fair market value of the stock, net of legal fees.
In October, the Company agreed to an early payoff on a loan on three of its communities. The loan, which was refinanced at a lower rate of interest had a prepayment penalty.
NOTE K - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is defendant in several other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Company is of the opinion that these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

NOTE L - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate values at December 31, 1997:
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Investment in securities - The investment in securities consists of convertible preferred stock of a private company. Fair value, based on estimated future discounted cash flows, approximates carrying value.
Mortgage note receivable - The mortgage note receivable consists of a $6,700,000 note with a stated interest rate of 14% due in 2021 from Southern Care Corp. Although the note is in default due to non-payment of interest, management believes the value of the underlying collateral is adequate to recover the carrying value.
Long-term debt - The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on market rates for the same or similar issues. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value.
Accounts receivable and payable and note payable - affiliate - The carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short maturity.
The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

In connection with certain litigation in which the Company is defendant, the maker of the aforementioned note stopped making the interest payments required under the note. As a result, the Company ceased recording the accrual of interest income. Had the Company been accruing interest on this note, the amount recognized would have been approximately $900,000 in 1997 and 1996. No interest income was recognized on this note in 1997 or 1996.
Based on the value of the underlying collateral at December 31, 1997, no impairment reserve is required for this note.
NOTE M - FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS
During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company wrote off a note receivable and an investment in securities in the aggregate amount of $4,100,000. See Note J.
During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company wrote off certain offering costs of approximately $670,000 and notes receivable of approximately $400,000. Additionally, the Company made other adjustments reducing earnings by approximately $200,000.

No actions or filings of Greenbriar, Purchaser or their Affiliates are
required under the HSR Act with respect to the execution and closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.5. Litigation. Other than as described in the 1996 Form 10-K, the September 1997 Form 10-Q and Schedule 3.5 hereto, there is no action, suit, proceeding, litigation or governmental proceeding pending or threatened or, to the knowledge of Greenbriar, contemplated against (or circumstances that are reasonably likely to give rise to the same), or involving the properties or businesses of, Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries which (i) questions the validity of the capital stock of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or to be taken by Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (ii) would have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.6. No Conflicts. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.6, neither Greenbriar nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) is in violation of its certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) is in default in the performance of any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any license, contract, indenture, mortgage, installment sale agreement, lease, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, stockholders' agreement, note, loan, credit agreement, purchase order, agreement or instrument evidencing an obligation for borrowed money or other agreement or instrument to which Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries may be bound or to which the property or assets of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries is subject or affected; or (iii) is in violation in any respect of any Law applicable to Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries of any Tribunal having jurisdiction over Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective activities or properties, except any violation or default under the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii) as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and no other party under any such agreement or instrument to which either Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries is a party is, to the knowledge of any executive officer of Greenbriar or any Subsidiary after reasonable inquiry, in default in any material respect thereunder, other than any such default that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.7. No Material Misstatements. To the best of its knowledge, no representation, warranty, or statement by Greenbriar in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or in any written statement or certificate furnished or to be furnished to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, when taken together, omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made herein or therein not misleading.
3.8. Subsidiaries. Each Subsidiary is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is in good standing under such laws, with power and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, and has been duly qualified and is authorized to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or conducts any business so as to require such qualification, except where failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

All of the Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and the date of the Closing are set forth on Schedule 3.8. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8, Greenbriar owns, either directly or through other Subsidiaries, good and marketable title to

Voting Agreements, Stockholders' Agreements, etc. Neither Greenbriar nor any of the Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any instrument, agreement or other arrangement, including, but not limited to, any voting trust agreement, stockholders' agreement or other agreement or instrument, affecting any securities or rights or obligations of security holders of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, other than in connection with the Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.
3.11. Material Adverse Effect. There has been no action, condition, change or circumstance that has resulted, or to the knowledge of Greenbriar will result, in a Material Adverse Effect since the filing of the September 1997 Form 10-Q by Greenbriar with the Commission, other than (i) litigation which could result in a write off of up to $4,300,000 of mortgage notes and accrued interest and cash disbursements by Greenbriar in excess of $1,500,000 in the aggregate in connection with the Southern Care v. Medical Resources et al. litigation; (ii) a prepayment penalty not to exceed $1,300,000 to Health and Retirement Properties Trust, and (iii) a judgment which could result in cash disbursements by Greenbriar in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate in connection with the Carmen Puentes v. CareAmerica et al. litigation.

Greenbriar agrees that neither Greenbriar nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered or will offer the Preferred Stock or any part thereof or any similar securities for issue or sale to, or has solicited or will solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from, anyone so as to bring the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock within the provisions of Section 5 of the Act.
3.13. Laws. Each of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries has complied in all respects with all Laws applicable to it or its businesses other than violations which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.14. Investment Company Act.

3.15. Affiliate Transactions. To the best of its knowledge
and except as set forth on Schedule 3.15, no officer, director or 5% or greater
stockholder of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, or any "affiliate" or
"associate" (as these terms are defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Act)
of any of the foregoing persons or entities, has, or has had which will have a
Material Adverse Effect going forward, either directly or indirectly, (i) a
material interest in any person or entity which (A) furnishes or sells services

by Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries or (B) purchases from or sells or
furnishes to Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries any goods or services or (ii)

there are no existing agreements, arrangements, understandings or transactions,
or proposed agreements, arrangements, understandings or transactions, between or

3.17. Taxes. To the best of its knowledge and except as set forth on Schedule 3.17, all tax returns required to be filed by Greenbriar or the Subsidiaries in all jurisdictions have been timely and duly filed, other than those filings being contested in good faith or except where the failure to so file any such returns could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no tax returns of Greenbriar or the Subsidiaries that are currently being audited by state, local or federal taxing authorities or agencies (and with respect to which Greenbriar or the Subsidiaries have received notice), where the findings of such audit, if adversely determined, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. All taxes, including withholding taxes, penalties and interest, assessments, fees and other charges due or claimed to be due from such entities have been paid, other than those being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been provided or those currently payable without penalty or interest or except if the failure to so pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No transfer tax, stamp duty or other similar tax is payable by or on behalf of Purchaser in
connection with (i) the issuance by Greenbriar of the Preferred Stock and the conversion into the Conversion Shares, (ii) the purchase by Purchaser of the Preferred Stock from Greenbriar or (iii) the consummation by Greenbriar of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
3.18. Insurance. Each of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries maintains insurance covering its properties, operations, personnel and businesses which insures against such losses and risks as are adequate in accordance with its reasonable business judgment. Neither Greenbriar nor any Subsidiary has received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital improvements or other expenditures will have to be made in order to continue such insurance. All such insurance is outstanding and duly in force on the date hereof and shall be outstanding and duly in force at the date of the Closing.
3.19. Labor Issues. To the best of its knowledge, Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries are in substantial compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours. There are no pending investigations involving Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries by the U.S. Department of Labor or any other governmental agency responsible for the enforcement of such federal, state, local or foreign laws and regulations. There is no unfair labor practice charge or complaint against Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries pending before the National Labor Relations Board or any strike, picketing, boycott, dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or threatened against or involving Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries. No representation question exists respecting the employees of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, and no collective bargaining agreement or modification thereof is currently being negotiated by Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries. No grievance or arbitration proceeding is pending under any expired or existing collective bargaining agreements of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries. No material labor dispute with the employees of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of Greenbriar after reasonable inquiry, is imminent and neither Greenbriar nor any Subsidiary is aware of any existing or imminent general labor disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, manufacturers or contractors which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.20. Benefit Plans. To the best of its knowledge, except as
identified on Schedule 3.20 attached hereto, neither Greenbriar nor any of the
Subsidiaries maintains, sponsors or contributes to any program or arrangement
that is an "employee pension benefit plan" an "employee welfare benefit plan" or
a "multi-employer plan" ("ERISA Plans") as such terms are defined in Sections
3(2), 3(1) and 3(37), respectively, of ERISA. Except as identified on Schedule
3.20 attached hereto, neither Greenbriar nor any of the Subsidiaries maintains
or contributes to, now or at any time previously, a defined benefit plan as
defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA. No ERISA Plan (or any trust created
thereunder) has engaged in a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") which could subject Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries
to any material tax penalty on prohibited transactions and which has not
adequately been corrected. No "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in
Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA
(other than events with respect to which the 30-day notice under Section 4043 of
ERISA has been waived) has occurred with respect to any employee benefit plan
which might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each ERISA
Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the reporting, disclosure
and other requirements of the Code and ERISA as they relate
to such ERISA Plan. Determination letters have been received from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to each ERISA Plan which is intended to comply with Code Section 401(a) stating that such ERISA Plan and the attendant trust are qualified thereunder. Neither Greenbriar nor any of the Subsidiaries has ever completely or partially withdrawn from a Multiemployer Plan of Greenbriar.
3.21. Financial Statements. The audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, copies of which have been delivered to Purchaser, have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries as of the dates and throughout the periods therein specified.
3.22. Accounting Matters. Each of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to financial assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect thereto. Grant Thornton, who has audited certain financial statements of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries, is an independent public accounting firm as defined by the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
3.23. Licenses. Each of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries holds all licenses, franchises, permits, consents, registrations, certificates and other approvals (including, without limitation, those relating to environmental matters and worker health and safety) (individually a "License" and collectively, "Licenses") required for the conduct of its business as now being conducted except where the failure to hold such Licenses, individually or in the aggregate, cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.24. No Stabilization. To the best of its knowledge, neither Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, nor any of its Affiliates has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or which has constituted or which might be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Greenbriar to facilitate the sale or resale of the Preferred Stock or the Conversion Shares or otherwise.
3.25. Title to Property. Each of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid and enforceable leasehold estates in, all items of real and personal property which are material to its business, in each case free and clear of all liens, mortgages, charges, claims, encumbrances, pledges, security interests, defects and other restrictions except the Permitted Liens, those disclosed in Schedule 3.25 or those which are not material in amount and do not materially adversely affect the use made or proposed to be made of such property.
3.26. Stock Exchange. The Greenbriar Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and is approved for trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "GBR." Greenbriar has taken no action that was designed to terminate, or that is likely to have the effect of terminating, trading of the Greenbriar Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange, nor has Greenbriar received any notification that the Commission or the American Stock Exchange is contemplating terminating such trading.
3.27. Foreign Compliance. To the best of its knowledge, neither Greenbriar nor any of the Subsidiaries has, nor to the knowledge of Greenbriar, has any officer, director or employee of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries or any other person acting on behalf of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, for the benefit of Greenbriar or any such Subsidiaries at any time during the last five years, (i) made any unlawful gift or contribution to any candidate for federal, state, local or foreign political office, or failed to disclose fully any such gift or contribution in violation of law, or (ii) made any payment to any federal, state, local or foreign governmental officer or official, which would be reasonably likely to subject Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries to any significant damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental litigation or proceeding (domestic or foreign). Each of Greenbriar's and the Subsidiaries' internal accounting controls are sufficient to cause Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
3.28. Nevada Law Exemptions. None of the issuance by Greenbriar and the purchase by Purchaser of the Preferred Stock and delivery to Purchaser of the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, the execution or delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein (i) conflicts or will conflict with, (ii) violates or will result in any violation of or (iii) restricts or will restrict any future transactions or business combinations involving Purchaser or any of its affiliates and Greenbriar, any Subsidiary, Greenbriar capital stock, Greenbriar, any of its subsidiaries or Greenbriar capital stock pursuant to, in each case, any of the provisions of Nevada law, including, but not limited to Sections 78.378-78.3793 and Sections 78.411-78.444 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

4.3. Compliance. Purchaser acknowledges that Greenbriar has not registered the Preferred Stock and that Greenbriar has not registered the Conversion Shares under the Act, and Purchaser agrees that neither the Preferred Stock nor the Conversion Shares shall be sold or offered for sale without registration under the Act or the availability of an exemption therefrom, nor in violation of any other law of the United States of America or any state thereof, and the certificates representing such shares shall bear a legend with respect thereto.

9.2. Termination.
(a) Termination Events. This Agreement may, by notice given prior to or at the Closing, be terminated:
(i) by either Greenbriar or Purchaser if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other party and such breach has not been waived in writing;
(ii) by Purchaser if any of the conditions in Section 7.1 has not been satisfied as of the date of Closing or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Purchaser has not waived such condition on or before the date of Closing;
(iii) by Greenbriar if any of the conditions in Section 7.2 has not been satisfied of the date of Closing or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Greenbriar to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Greenbriar has not waived such condition on or before the date of Closing;
(iv) by mutual written consent of Greenbriar and Purchaser; or
(v) by either Greenbriar or Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of any party seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) on or before January 12, 1998, or such later date as the parties may agree upon.
(b) Effect of Termination. Each party's right of
termination under this Section 9.2 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 this Section 9.2, all further obligations of the
parties under this Agreement (other than the obligations of
Greenbriar under Section 2.3 and of all parties under
Section 9.3) shall terminate; provided, however, that if
this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the
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 shall survive such
termination unimpaired.
9.3. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification Obligations of Greenbriar. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.3, Greenbriar shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser and its successors and assigns, and its officers, directors, stockholders, agents, affiliates and employees (collectively, the "Greenbriar Indemnitees"), from and against, and promptly reimburse them for, any and all Losses, without regard to the cause or causes thereof, directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from, relating to or in connection with (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Greenbriar contained in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any schedule or exhibit hereto or thereto; or (ii) any breach
of or non-performance of any covenant of Greenbriar contained in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any schedule or exhibit hereto or thereto.
(b) Indemnification Obligations of Purchaser. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.3, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Greenbriar and its respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnitees"), from and against, and promptly reimburse them for, any and all Losses, without regard to the cause or causes thereof, directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from, relating to or in connection with (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any schedule or exhibit hereto or thereto; or (ii) any breach of or nonperformance of any covenant of Purchaser in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any schedule or exhibit hereto or thereto.
(c) Notice and Opportunity to Defend.
(i) If any of Greenbriar Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (each, an "Indemnitee") receives notice of any claim or commencement of any action or proceeding (an "Asserted Liability") with respect to which another person (the "Indemnitor") is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), such Indemnitee shall promptly give the Indemnitor notice thereof by certified mail, describing the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail and indicating the amount (which may be estimated) of the loss, expense, damage, liability, or obligation that has been or may be asserted by the Indemnitee against the Indemnitor.
(ii) The failure of the Indemnitee to give such notice shall not result in a loss of the Indemnitee's right to indemnification under this Section 9.3 unless such failure prejudices the Indemnitor's ability to defend against the Asserted Liability.
(iii) No settlement or compromise of an Asserted Liability may be made by the Indemnitee without the written consent of the Indemnitor.
(iv) If the Indemnitor so elects, the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's expense, shall assume the defense of the Asserted Liability and shall have the right to settle or compromise the same, except that if the Indemnitee's counsel reasonably objects to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel approved by the Indemnitor at the Indemnitee's sole expense.
(v) If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Asserted Liability, the Indemnitor shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee's counsel incurred thereafter in connection with the Asserted Liability.
(d) Survival. All warranties, representations and covenants made by Greenbriar herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by either of them or on their behalf under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by Purchaser and shall survive the issuance of the Preferred Stock regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Purchaser. All statements in any such certificate or other instrument so delivered shall constitute representations and warranties by Greenbriar, as applicable, hereunder.
All representations, warranties and covenants made by Purchaser herein shall be considered to have been relied upon by Greenbriar and shall survive the issuance to Purchaser of the Preferred Stock regardless of any investigation made by Greenbriar or on their behalf.
9.4. Restrictive Legend. Unless and until otherwise permitted by this Agreement, each certificate for Preferred Stock issued under this Agreement and each certificate for any Preferred Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"The shares evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be reoffered and sold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of said Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available."
9.5. Assignment, Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties whether so expressed or not. This Agreement may not be assigned without the written consent of all other parties; provided, however, Purchaser may assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to one of its subsidiaries, provided that prior to the Closing no assignment may be made except to a subsidiary with sufficient funds to satisfy Purchaser's payment obligations under this Agreement.
9.6. Amendment and Waiver, etc. This Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of Greenbriar and Purchaser. No failure or delay on the part of Greenbriar or Purchaser in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to Greenbriar or Purchaser at law or in equity or otherwise. No waiver of or consent to any departure by Greenbriar or Purchaser from any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by the other parties.
9.7. Duplicate Originals. Two or more duplicate originals of this Agreement may be signed by the parties, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
9.8. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other
respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
9.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas, without respect to conflicts of laws principles.
9.10. Specific Performance. Greenbriar and Purchaser acknowledge that the other parties have no adequate remedy at law for breaches by Greenbriar or Purchaser of its obligations hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, and accordingly Greenbriar and Purchaser irrevocably agree that the other parties shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance granted pursuant to Section 9.15 below, and waives any right Greenbriar or Purchaser may have to object to such remedy.
9.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.
This Agreement supercedes that certain Stock Purchase Agreement among Residential Healthcare Properties, Inc., Greenbriar and Purchaser dated as of October 8, 1997 (the "October 8, 1997 Stock Purchase Agreement") only in the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are closed, otherwise the October 8, 1997 Stock Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
9.12. Headings Descriptive. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
9.13. Finder's Fees. Each party represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder's fee or commission in connection with this transaction, other than as specifically described below.
Purchaser agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless Greenbriar from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder's fee (and the cost and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which Purchaser or any of its officers, partners, employees, or representatives is responsible.

by any of them in connection with the Preferred Stock (and Greenbriar Common Stock delivered upon conversion thereof).
9.15. Arbitration.

A STATEMENT OF A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT SHALL NOT BE BINDING UPON ANY PARTY AND SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS EVIDENCE BY THE ARBITRATOR EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ARBITRATOR UPON MAKING ITS SOLE AND INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION SHALL DETERMINE THE PARTY WHICH PREVAILED BASED UPON THE PROPOSALS FOR SETTLEMENT OF THE MATTER MADE BY EACH PARTY AND SHALL DETERMINE THAT THE NON-PREVAILING PARTY SHALL PAY SOME OR ALL OF THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION INCLUDING ANY COSTS INCURRED BY THE ARBITRATOR AND IN EMPLOYING EXPERTS TO ADVISE THE ARBITRATOR IN REGARD TO SPECIFIC SUBJECTS OR QUESTIONS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY FURTHER AWARD THE COST OF ATTORNEYS FEES OR EXPERT WITNESSES CONSULTED OR EMPLOYED IN THE PREPARATION OR PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE TO THE ARBITRATOR BY THE PREVAILING PARTY IF, IN THE ARBITRATOR'S DETERMINATION, THE POSITION OF THE NONPREVAILING PARTY WAS NOT REASONABLY TAKEN OR MAINTAINED OR WAS BASED
UPON A FAILURE TO EXCHANGE OR COMMUNICATE PROPERLY INFORMATION WITH THE
PREVAILING PARTY IN REGARD TO THE SUBJECT SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION.
(d) THE ARBITRATOR'S DETERMINATION MAY FURTHER PROVIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AND DIRECTIONS FOR THE PARTIES TO COMPLY WITH INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD SHALL BE BINDING UPON THE PARTIES AND SHALL BE UNDERTAKEN AND PERFORMED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE ARBITRATOR'S DIRECTIONS TO THE PARTY SHALL LAPSE BY THEIR TERM, OR THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOTIFY THE PARTIES THAT THOSE TERMS ARE NO LONGER IN FORCE OR EFFECT OR SHALL MODIFY THOSE TERMS.
(e) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ANY PARTY MAY APPEAL THE ARBITRATOR'S DETERMINATION IF SUCH APPEAL IS BASED SOLELY ON THE BASIS THAT THE ARBITRATOR HAS MADE AN INCORRECT INTERPRETATION OF LAW.

6.1 Right of Holder to Conversion. Each share of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall be convertible, without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof and at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the date of original issuance of Series F Senior Preferred Stock, (ii) an Event of Default under any of clauses (ii) through (viii) of the definition of "Event of Default" or an Event of Default resulting from the failure of Greenbriar to comply with Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.10, 6.19, 6.20, 6.22, 6.27-6.35 or 6.37 of the Purchase Agreement, in whole or in part, (iii) a Special Asset Sale Trigger or (iv) a Change in Management, at the office of Greenbriar or any transfer agent for the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, into a number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock determined by dividing the Liquidation Value of the shares so converted by the Conversion Price, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Price.
6.2 Mechanics of Conversion by Holder. In order for any holder of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock to convert the same into Greenbriar Common Stock, the holder shall surrender to Greenbriar at the office of Greenbriar or of any transfer agent for the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, the certificate or certificates representing such Series F Senior Preferred Stock, accompanied by written notice to Greenbriar that the holder elects to convert all or a specified number of such shares and stating therein the holder's name or the name or names of the holder's nominees in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Greenbriar Common Stock to be issued or transferred. Greenbriar shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, deliver at such office to such holder of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, or to the holder's nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and, if less than the full number of shares of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock evidenced by such surrendered certificate or certificates being converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like tenor, for the number of shares of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock evidenced by such surrendered certificate less the number of such shares being converted. Any conversion made at the election of a holder of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Greenbriar Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Greenbriar Common Stock on such date.
6.3 Mandatory Conversion. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, each share of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock must be converted into shares of Greenbriar Common Stock based upon the conversion provisions herein and subject to any adjustments as provided in this Agreement.
6.4 Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues or Other Transactions:
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time Greenbriar shall:
(1) take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock;
(2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock into a larger number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock; or
(3) combine its outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock;
then the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the happening of any such event shall be proportionately decreased, in case of the happening of events described in subparagraphs (1) or (2) above, or proportionately increased, in case of the happening of events described in subparagraph (3) above.
(b) Certain Other Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to time Greenbriar shall take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(1) cash, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such distribution together with all such dividends paid or declared after the date hereof, does not exceed the consolidated net income, net of consolidated net losses, of Greenbriar and its consolidated subsidiaries earned subsequent to the date hereof determined in accordance with GAAP;
(2) any evidence of its indebtedness (other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock); or
(3) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock);
then the Conversion Price in effect shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the date of taking such record minus the portion applicable to one share of Greenbriar Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property, or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable and (y) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the date of taking such record. The fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock,
other securities or property, or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights, shall be determined pursuant to the Valuation Procedure. The "Valuation Procedure" is a determination of fair value of any property made in good faith by the Board of Directors of Greenbriar; provided that, if the Preferred Stock Representative objects to such determination within 10 days of receipt of written notification thereof, then the fair value of such property shall be determined in good faith by a recognized national investment bank selected by unanimous vote or consent of the Board of Directors of Greenbriar, which investment bank is not reasonably objected to by the Preferred Stock Representative. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be paid by one-half by Greenbriar and one-half by the holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock. A reclassification of the Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock into shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by Greenbriar to the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 6.4(b) and, if the outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock as a part of such reclassification, shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock within the meaning of Section 6.4(a).
(c) Issuance of Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock. In case at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue, whether in connection with the merger of a corporation into Greenbriar or otherwise, any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for a consideration per share less than either the Conversion Price or the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the lower of either:
(1) that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock, plus the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock so issued would purchase at the greater of the Conversion Price or the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock plus the number of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock so issued; or
(2) the value of the consideration per share for which such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock were issued (or, in the case of adjustments under Sections 6.4(d) or 6.4(e), are issuable).
No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 6.4(c) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Greenbriar Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such
Greenbriar Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6.4(d) or 6.4(e).
(d) Issuance of Warrants, Options or Other Rights. In case at
any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall
take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall
otherwise issue, any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or
any Greenbriar Convertible Securities and the consideration per share
for which Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock may at any
time thereafter be issuable pursuant to such warrants, options or other
rights or pursuant to the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible
Securities shall be less than either the Conversion Price or the Fair
Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation
Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in
Section 6.4(c). Such adjustment shall be made on the basis that (i) the
maximum number of Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock
issuable pursuant to all such warrants, options or other rights or
necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Greenbriar
Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
Computation Date, and (ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum
number of Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be
deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by
Greenbriar for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar
Nonpreferred Stock pursuant to such warrants, options or other rights
or pursuant to the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities.
(e) Issuance of Greenbriar Convertible Securities. In case at
any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall
take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall
otherwise issue, any Greenbriar Convertible Securities and the
consideration per share for which Additional Shares of Greenbriar
Nonpreferred Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to
the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall be less than
either the Conversion Price or the Fair Market Price per share of
Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation Date, then the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6.4(c). Such adjustments
shall be made on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock necessary to effect the
conversion or exchange of all such Greenbriar Convertible Securities
shall be deemed to have been issued as of the Computation Date, and
(ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of Additional
Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be deemed to be the
minimum consideration received and receivable by Greenbriar for the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock
pursuant to the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities. No
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section
6.4(e) upon the issuance of any Greenbriar Convertible Securities which
are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall
previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other
rights pursuant to Section 6.4(d).
(f) Superseding Adjustment of Conversion Price. If, at any time after any adjustment of the Conversion Price shall have been made pursuant to the foregoing Section 6.4(d) or 6.4(e) on the basis of the issuance of warrants or other rights or the issuance of other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, or after any new adjustment of the Conversion Price shall have been made pursuant to this Section 6.4(f):
(1) all of such warrants, options or rights or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall expire, and none of such warrants, options or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in respect of such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall have been exercised; or
(2) the consideration per share, for which Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock are issuable pursuant to all of such warrants, options or rights or the terms of all of such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, and none of such warrants, options or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in respect of such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall have been exercised;
such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such warrants, rights or options or other Greenbriar Convertible Securities on the basis of treating any such warrants, options or rights or any such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock are issuable under such warrants or rights or other Greenbriar Convertible Securities; and, if and to the extent called for by the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 on the basis aforesaid, a new adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
(g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this
Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments of the Conversion Price hereinbefore provided for in this
Section 6.4:
(1) Treasury Stock. The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock owned or held by or for the account of Greenbriar shall be deemed an issuance thereof for purposes of this Section 6.4.
(2) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or any Greenbriar Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or any Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall be issued solely for cash consideration, the consideration received by Greenbriar therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by Greenbriar therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or Greenbriar Convertible Securities are offered by Greenbriar for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or Greenbriar Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by Greenbriar for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issue thereof. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received or receivable by Greenbriar for issuing such warrant, options or other rights, plus the additional consideration payable to Greenbriar upon the exercise of such warrants, options or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall be the consideration received or receivable by Greenbriar for issuing any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Greenbriar Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or payable to Greenbriar in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to Greenbriar upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Greenbriar Convertible Securities. To the extent that any issuance shall be for a consideration other than solely for cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined pursuant to the Valuation Procedure.
(3) When Adjustments to be made. The adjustments
required by the preceding subsections of this Section 6.4
shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment
of the Conversion Price that would otherwise be required shall
be made (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of
shares of the Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock as provided for in
Section 6.4(a)) unless and until such adjustment, either by
itself or with other adjustments not previously made, adds or
subtracts at least $0.05 to the Conversion Price, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
Greenbriar. Any adjustment representing a change of less than
such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon
as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required
by this Section 6.4 and not previously made, would result in a
minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close
of business on the date of its occurrence.
(4) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 6.4, fractional interests in Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.
(5) When Adjustment Not Required. If Greenbriar shall take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution thereof to shareholders, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(h) Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case Greenbriar shall merge or consolidate into another corporation, or shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation, except where there is a Special Asset Sale Trigger, and pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock, then each holder of a share of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of such share of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, shares of common stock each comprising the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation receivable upon or as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock into which one share of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock could be converted immediately prior to such event. If, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock in addition to common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, then the Conversion Price in effect shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of such merger, consolidation or disposition minus the portion applicable to one share of Greenbriar Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value of any such shares of stock or other securities or property so received or distributed and (y) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of such merger, consolidation or disposition. The fair value of any such shares of stock or other securities or property shall be determined pursuant to the Valuation Procedure. In case of any such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor acquiring corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition hereof to be performed and observed by Greenbriar and all of the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modification as shall be necessary to provide for adjustments to the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.4. For the purposes of this Section 6.4(h), "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class, which is not preferred
as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption, and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4(h) shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations or dispositions of assets.
(i) Purchases or Redemptions. In case at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall (except as hereinafter provided) purchase or redeem any Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock for a consideration per share greater than the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the lower of either:
(1) that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock plus the number of such shares or share equivalents of Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock so purchased or redeemed and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock, plus the number of shares or share equivalents of Greenbriar Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock so purchased or redeemed would purchase at the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock; or
(2) the value of the consideration per share for which such Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock were purchased or redeemed.
No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 6.4(c) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Greenbriar Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6.4(d) or 6.4(e).
(j) Other Action Affecting Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock. In case at any time or from time to time Greenbriar shall take any action affecting its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing Sections 6.4(a) through (i), inclusive, then, unless in the opinion of the Board of Directors such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the
holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
6.5 No Impairment. Other than in connection with the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation approved by the requisite number of stockholders, Greenbriar will not, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by Greenbriar but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 6 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Greenbriar (i) will not permit the par value of any shares of stock at the time receivable upon the conversion of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock to exceed the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that Greenbriar may validly and legally deliver fully paid nonassessable shares of stock on the conversion of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, and (iii) will not issue any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or Greenbriar Convertible Securities or take any action which results in any adjustment of the Conversion Price if the total number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock required to be delivered after such issuance or action upon the conversion of all the then outstanding shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock will exceed the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock and available for the purpose of delivery upon such conversion.
6.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6, Greenbriar at Greenbriar's expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Preferred Stock Representative a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or to be received by Greenbriar for any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (ii) the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted on account thereof, showing how it was calculated. Greenbriar shall, upon the written request at any reasonable time of the Preferred Stock Representative, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, showing how it was calculated, and (ii) the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock.
6.7 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by Greenbriar of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, Greenbriar shall mail to each holder of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock at least 10 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
7. Covenants of Greenbriar.
Without the prior written consent of the Preferred Stock Representative, Greenbriar shall comply with each of the following covenants.
7.1 Board of Directors. So long as any shares of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, Greenbriar shall not increase the number of directors above nine except in connection with the right of the holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock to appoint directors.
7.2 Greenbriar Common Stock. Greenbriar shall at all times reserve and keep available enough shares of Greenbriar Common Stock to effect the conversion of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments in connection with a stock split or other similar events and (ii) a reduction by the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock that have previously been delivered upon conversion of Series F Senior Preferred Stock; all of such shares of Greenbriar Common Stock which are issuable to the holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock by way of conversion, will be when issued, duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges.
7.3 Cash Reserves after a Special Asset Sale Trigger. Commencing on the
date nine months after the date of a Special Asset Sale Trigger, Greenbriar
shall, at all times, maintain cash or Permitted Investments in excess of the sum
of (i) the current Liquidation Value of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock and
(ii) the current Liquidation Value (as defined in the Series G Certificate of
Designation) of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock.
8. Events of Default.
8.1 Notice of Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default or Potential Default, Greenbriar shall provide written notice of such Event of Default or Potential Default, including the date on which such event first occurred, to the Preferred Stock Representative within 10 days after the occurrence of such event. Any Event of Default or Potential Default may be waived in writing by the Preferred Stock Representative at any time, in which case Sections 8.2 through 8.4 shall not apply with respect to such Event of Default or Potential Default; provided, however, that no such waiver of an Event of Default or Potential Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other Event of Default or Potential Default.
8.2 Dividends During Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default resulting from (i) the failure of
Greenbriar to comply with any of the covenants contained in Sections 6.1, 6.3,
6.8, 6.10, 6.19, 6.20, 6.22, 6.24 and 6.27- 6.37 of the Purchase Agreement or
(ii) any of the events specified in clauses (ii) through (viii) of the
definition of "Event of Default," the holders of outstanding shares of Series F
Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other
dividends payable hereunder to holders of shares of Series F Senior Preferred
Stock and when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds
legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash
dividends accruing from the date of the Event of Default (the "Default Date") in
an amount per share per annum equal to $1.20 per share,
payable quarterly on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year. Dividends on the Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall accrue (whether or not declared) on a daily basis and shall be cumulative (whether or not in any Dividend Period there shall be funds of Greenbriar legally available for the payment of such dividends). The first dividend shall accrue from the Default Date through the last Business Day of the first calendar quarter to end after the Default Date, and subsequent dividends shall accrue on a daily basis during the dividend period for which they are payable.
8.3 Election of Directors. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default resulting from any of the events specified in
clauses (ii) through (viii) of the definition of "Event of Default," the holders
of shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall have the right, acting
separately as a class, to elect a number of persons to the Board of Directors of
Greenbriar that will constitute 70% of the Board of Directors. Upon the taking
of such action, the maximum authorized number of members of the Board of
Directors shall automatically increase by the number of directors so elected,
and the vacancies so created shall be filled by the persons elected pursuant to
this Section 8.3. In the event that upon the election of directors under this
Section 8.3, Greenbriar is required under Rule 14f-1 under the Exchange Act to
file with the Commission and transmit to its stockholders certain information,
Greenbriar shall take such action as promptly as practicable, and the term of
office of the directors so elected shall begin upon the termination of the
10-day period prescribed by such Rule. A director elected by the holders of
Series F Senior Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall serve until
his successor is duly elected and qualified, until his removal or until his term
terminates as provided below. Such a director may be removed without cause at
any time by action, and only by such action, of the holders of shares of Series
F Senior Preferred Stock. If the office of a director elected pursuant to this
Section 8.3 becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office or otherwise, such vacancy may be filled
by the action, and only by such action, of the holders of shares of Series F
Senior Preferred Stock. At such time as the Event of Default giving rise to this
right to elect directors has been cured, such right shall terminate, the terms
of any directors elected pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall terminate and the
maximum number of authorized members of the Board of Directors shall decrease
automatically to the maximum number of authorized members of the Board of
Directors in effect immediately before any action was taken pursuant hereto. At
any time when the special voting rights of the holders of the Series F Senior
Preferred Stock provided in this Section 8.3 shall have become operative and not
have been exercised, a proper officer of Greenbriar shall, upon the written
request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the shares of Series F
Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to the Secretary of
Greenbriar, call a special meeting of the holders of the Series F Senior
Preferred Stock for the purpose of electing the allotted directors to be elected
by the Series F Senior Preferred Stock. Such meeting shall be held within 30
days after delivery of such request to Greenbriar at such place in the
continental United States as may be specified in such written request; provided
that the Secretary shall not be required to call such a special meeting in the
case of any such request received less than 30 days before the date fixed for an
annual meeting of Greenbriar's stockholders.
8.4 Put Option. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from (i) the failure of Greenbriar to comply with any of the covenants contained in Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.10, 6.19, 6.20, 6.22, 6.27-6.35 of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) any of the events specified in clauses (iii) through (viii) of the definition of "Event of Default," each holder of shares of
Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall have the right, by written notice to Greenbriar (the "Repurchase Notice") within 90 days after the occurrence of the Event of Default, to require that Greenbriar repurchase, out of funds legally available therefor, any or all of such holder's shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to 120% of the Liquidation Value of the shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock to be repurchased as of the date of the holder's Repurchase Notice. Any Repurchase Notice shall be accompanied by duly endorsed certificates representing the shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock to be repurchased. Upon receipt of a Repurchase Notice, Greenbriar shall make payment in cash of the appropriate amount to the holder requiring repurchase with five Business Days of the date such Repurchase Notice is received, unless prior to such payment, Greenbriar receives written notice from such holder that such holder is withdrawing its requirement of the repurchase of its shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock.
8.5 Special Asset Sale Trigger. Upon a Special Asset Sale Trigger, each holder of shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock shall have the right, by written notice to Greenbriar (the "Asset Sale Repurchase Notice") within nine months after written notice to the Preferred Stock Representative of the occurrence of a Special Asset Sale Trigger, to require that Greenbriar repurchase, out of funds legally available therefor, a specified number of such holder's shares (the "Repurchase Shares") of Series F Senior Preferred Stock. The Repurchase Shares may be all or any portion of such holder's total shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock. The Repurchase Shares shall be repurchased by Greenbriar for an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Repurchase Shares plus the greater of: (i) 20% of the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Repurchase Shares or (ii) a 20% IRR on the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Repurchase Shares, in each case, as of the date of the holder's Asset Sale Repurchase Notice. Any Asset Sale Repurchase Notice shall be accompanied by duly endorsed certificates representing the Repurchase Shares. Upon receipt of a Asset Sale Repurchase Notice, Greenbriar shall make payment in cash of the appropriate amount to the holder requiring repurchase with five Business Days of the date such Asset Sale Repurchase Notice is received, unless prior to such payment, Greenbriar receives written notice from such holder that such holder is withdrawing its requirement of the repurchase of the Repurchase Shares.
8.6 Change in Management. If at any time after the date hereof, (i) James R. Gilley is not serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Greenbriar for any reason and (ii) the Preferred Stock Representative has proposed one or more candidates for Mr. Gilley's replacement that is willing to serve regardless of whether or not any of such candidate(s) are acceptable to Greenbriar, unless within 15 days of the date Mr. Gilley ceases to serve as Chairman Mr. Gilley's replacement as Chairman is mutually agreed upon by Greenbriar and the Preferred Stock Representative, there shall have occurred a "Change in Management" which shall give to each holder of shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock the right, by written notice to Greenbriar (the "Change in Management Repurchase Notice") within 90 days after the occurrence of the Change in Management, to require that Greenbriar repurchase, out of funds legally available therefor, a specified number of such holder's shares (the "Change in Management Repurchase Shares") of Series F Senior Preferred Stock. The Change in Management Repurchase Shares may be all or any portion of such holder's total shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock. The Change in Management Repurchase Shares shall be repurchased by Greenbriar for an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Change in Management Repurchase Shares plus the greater of: (i) 20% of the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Change in Management Repurchase Shares or (ii) a 20%
IRR on the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Change in Management Repurchase Shares, in each case, as of the date of the holder's Change in Management Repurchase Notice. Any Change in Management Repurchase Notice shall be accompanied by duly endorsed certificates representing the Change in Management Repurchase Shares which shall be free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances. Upon receipt of a Change in Management Repurchase Notice, Greenbriar shall execute a full recourse promissory note for the appropriate amount to the holder requiring repurchase (the "Repurchase Promissory Note") within five Business Days of the date such Change in Management Repurchase Notice is received, unless prior to such payment, Greenbriar receives written notice from such holder that such holder is withdrawing its requirement of the repurchase of the Change in Management Repurchase Shares. The Repurchase Promissory Note shall be (a) in a form agreed to by Greenbriar and the initial purchaser of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, (b) for a term of one (1) year from the date of the Change in Management Repurchase Notice, with 50% of the principal together with all accrued interest due six (6) months from the date of the Change in Management Repurchase Notice, (c) shall bear interest at the lower of eighteen percent (18%) or the highest rate allowed by law, and (d) shall be secured by the highest available lien on all of the property and assets of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries reasonably sufficient to secure such holders right of repayment, including all ownership interests of all subsidiaries of Greenbriar, except where such lien (i) is in violation of its certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation or bylaws of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries; (ii) would create a default in the performance of any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any license, contract, indenture, mortgage, installment sale agreement, lease, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, stockholders' agreement, note, loan, credit agreement, purchase order, agreement or instrument evidencing an obligation for borrowed money or other agreement or instrument to which Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries may be bound or to which the property or assets of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries is subject or affected; or (iii) would create a violation in any respect of any Law applicable to Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, that would have a Material Adverse Effect. Such liens shall be of the same priority as between all holders requiring repurchase. The Repurchase Promissory Note shall be due and payable immediately if Greenbriar fails to perfect liens on property and assets of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries reasonably sufficient to secure such holders right of repayment within ten Business Days of the date such Change in Management Repurchase Notice is received, unless prior to such delivery, Greenbriar receives written notice from such holder that such holder is withdrawing its requirement of the repurchase of its shares of Series F Senior Preferred Stock.

6.3 Mandatory Conversion. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, each share of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock must be converted into shares of Greenbriar Common Stock based upon the conversion provisions herein and subject to any adjustments as provided in this Agreement.
6.4 Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues or Other Transactions:
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time Greenbriar shall:
(1) take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock;
(2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock into a larger number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock; or
(3) combine its outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock;
then the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the happening of any such event shall be proportionately decreased, in case of the happening of events described in subparagraphs (1) or (2) above, or proportionately increased, in case of the happening of events described in subparagraph (3) above.
(b) Certain Other Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to time Greenbriar shall take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(1) cash, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such distribution together with all such dividends paid or declared after the date hereof, does not exceed the consolidated net income, net of consolidated net losses, of Greenbriar and its consolidated subsidiaries earned subsequent to the date hereof determined in accordance with GAAP;
(2) any evidence of its indebtedness (other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock); or
(3) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Greenbriar Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock);
then the Conversion Price in effect shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the date of taking such record minus the portion applicable to one share of Greenbriar Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property, or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable and (y) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the date of taking such record. The fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property, or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights, shall be determined pursuant to the Valuation Procedure. The "Valuation Procedure" is a determination of fair value of any property made in good faith by the Board of Directors of Greenbriar; provided that, if the Preferred Stock Representative objects to such determination within 10 days of receipt of written notification thereof, then the fair value of such property shall be determined in good faith by a recognized national investment bank selected by unanimous vote or consent of the Board of Directors of Greenbriar, which investment bank is not reasonably objected to by the
Preferred Stock Representative. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be paid by one-half by Greenbriar and one-half by the holders of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock. A reclassification of the Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock into shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by Greenbriar to the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 6.4(b) and, if the outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock as a part of such reclassification, shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock within the meaning of Section 6.4(a).
(c) Issuance of Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock. In case at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue, whether in connection with the merger of a corporation into Greenbriar or otherwise, any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for a consideration per share less than either the Conversion Price or the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the lower of either:
(1) that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock, plus the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock so issued would purchase at the greater of the Conversion Price or the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock plus the number of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock so issued; or
(2) the value of the consideration per share for which such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock were issued (or, in the case of adjustments under Sections 6.4(d) or 6.4(e), are issuable).
No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 6.4(c) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Greenbriar Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6.4(d) or 6.4(e).
(d) Issuance of Warrants, Options or Other Rights. In case at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall otherwise issue, any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or any Greenbriar Convertible Securities and the consideration per share for which
Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock may at any time
thereafter be issuable pursuant to such warrants, options or other
rights or pursuant to the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible
Securities shall be less than either the Conversion Price or the Fair
Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation
Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in
Section 6.4(c). Such adjustment shall be made on the basis that (i) the
maximum number of Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock
issuable pursuant to all such warrants, options or other rights or
necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Greenbriar
Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
Computation Date, and (ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum
number of Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be
deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by
Greenbriar for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar
Nonpreferred Stock pursuant to such warrants, options or other rights
or pursuant to the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities.
(e) Issuance of Greenbriar Convertible Securities. In case at
any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall
take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall
otherwise issue, any Greenbriar Convertible Securities and the
consideration per share for which Additional Shares of Greenbriar
Nonpreferred Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to
the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall be less than
either the Conversion Price or the Fair Market Price per share of
Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation Date, then the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6.4(c). Such adjustments
shall be made on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock necessary to effect the
conversion or exchange of all such Greenbriar Convertible Securities
shall be deemed to have been issued as of the Computation Date, and
(ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of Additional
Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be deemed to be the
minimum consideration received and receivable by Greenbriar for the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock
pursuant to the terms of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities. No
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section
6.4(e) upon the issuance of any Greenbriar Convertible Securities which
are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall
previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other
rights pursuant to Section 6.4(d).
(f) Superseding Adjustment of Conversion Price. If, at any time after any adjustment of the Conversion Price shall have been made pursuant to the foregoing Section 6.4(d) or 6.4(e) on the basis of the issuance of warrants or other rights or the issuance of other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, or after any new adjustment of the Conversion Price shall have been made pursuant to this Section 6.4(f):
(1) all of such warrants, options or rights or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall expire, and none of such warrants, options or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in respect of such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall have been exercised; or
(2) the consideration per share, for which Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock are issuable pursuant to all of such warrants, options or rights or the terms of all of such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, and none of such warrants, options or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in respect of such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall have been exercised;
such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such warrants, rights or options or other Greenbriar Convertible Securities on the basis of treating any such warrants, options or rights or any such other Greenbriar Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock are issuable under such warrants or rights or other Greenbriar Convertible Securities; and, if and to the extent called for by the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 on the basis aforesaid, a new adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
(g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this
Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments of the Conversion Price hereinbefore provided for in this
Section 6.4:
(1) Treasury Stock. The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock owned or held by or for the account of Greenbriar shall be deemed an issuance thereof for purposes of this Section 6.4.
(2) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or any Greenbriar Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or any Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall be issued solely for cash consideration, the consideration received by Greenbriar therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by Greenbriar therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or Greenbriar Convertible Securities are offered by Greenbriar for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or Greenbriar Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by Greenbriar for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in
connection with, the issue thereof. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received or receivable by Greenbriar for issuing such warrant, options or other rights, plus the additional consideration payable to Greenbriar upon the exercise of such warrants, options or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Greenbriar Convertible Securities shall be the consideration received or receivable by Greenbriar for issuing any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Greenbriar Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or payable to Greenbriar in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to Greenbriar upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Greenbriar Convertible Securities. To the extent that any issuance shall be for a consideration other than solely for cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined pursuant to the Valuation Procedure.
(3) When Adjustments to be made. The adjustments
required by the preceding subsections of this Section 6.4
shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment
of the Conversion Price that would otherwise be required shall
be made (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of
shares of the Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock as provided for in
Section 6.4(a)) unless and until such adjustment, either by
itself or with other adjustments not previously made, adds or
subtracts at least $0.05 to the Conversion Price, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
Greenbriar. Any adjustment representing a change of less than
such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon
as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required
by this Section 6.4 and not previously made, would result in a
minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close
of business on the date of its occurrence.
(4) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 6.4, fractional interests in Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.
(5) When Adjustment Not Required. If Greenbriar shall take a record of the holders of its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution thereof to shareholders, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(h) Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case Greenbriar shall merge or consolidate into another corporation, or shall sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation, except where there is a Special Asset Sale Trigger, and pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock, then each holder of a share of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of such share of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock, shares of common stock each comprising the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation receivable upon or as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock into which one share of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock could be converted immediately prior to such event. If, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock in addition to common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, then the Conversion Price in effect shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of such merger, consolidation or disposition minus the portion applicable to one share of Greenbriar Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value of any such shares of stock or other securities or property so received or distributed and (y) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of such merger, consolidation or disposition. The fair value of any such shares of stock or other securities or property shall be determined pursuant to the Valuation Procedure. In case of any such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor acquiring corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition hereof to be performed and observed by Greenbriar and all of the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modification as shall be necessary to provide for adjustments to the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.4. For the purposes of this Section 6.4(h), "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class, which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption, and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4(h) shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations or dispositions of assets.
(i) Purchases or Redemptions. In case at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Greenbriar shall (except as hereinafter provided) purchase or redeem any Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock for a consideration per share greater than the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock on the Computation Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the lower of either:
(1) that number determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock plus the number of such shares or share equivalents of Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock so purchased or redeemed and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock, plus the number of shares or share equivalents of Greenbriar Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock so purchased or redeemed would purchase at the Fair Market Price per share of Greenbriar Common Stock; or
(2) the value of the consideration per share for which such Greenbriar Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Greenbriar Common Stock were purchased or redeemed.
No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 6.4(c) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Greenbriar Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Greenbriar Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6.4(d) or 6.4(e).
(j) Other Action Affecting Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock. In case at any time or from time to time Greenbriar shall take any action affecting its Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing Sections 6.4(a) through (i), inclusive, then, unless in the opinion of the Board of Directors such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holders of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
6.5 No Impairment. Other than in connection with the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation approved by the requisite number of stockholders, Greenbriar will not, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by Greenbriar but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 6 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Greenbriar (i) will not permit the par value of any shares of stock at the time receivable upon the conversion of the Series G Senior NonVoting Preferred Stock to exceed the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that Greenbriar may validly and legally
deliver fully paid nonassessable shares of stock on the conversion of the Series G Senior NonVoting Preferred Stock, and (iii) will not issue any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock or Greenbriar Convertible Securities or take any action which results in any adjustment of the Conversion Price if the total number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock required to be delivered after such issuance or action upon the conversion of all the then outstanding shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock will exceed the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock and available for the purpose of delivery upon such conversion.
6.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6, Greenbriar at Greenbriar's expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Preferred Stock Representative a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or to be received by Greenbriar for any Additional Shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (ii) the number of shares of Greenbriar Nonpreferred Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted on account thereof, showing how it was calculated. Greenbriar shall, upon the written request at any reasonable time of the Preferred Stock Representative, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, showing how it was calculated, and (ii) the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock.
6.7 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by Greenbriar of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, Greenbriar shall mail to each holder of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock at least 10 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
7. Covenants of Greenbriar.
Without the prior written consent of the Preferred Stock Representative, Greenbriar shall comply with each of the following covenants.
7.1 Greenbriar Common Stock. Greenbriar shall at all times reserve and keep available enough shares of Greenbriar Common Stock to effect the conversion of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments in connection with a stock split or other similar events and (ii) a reduction by the number of shares of Greenbriar Common Stock that have previously been delivered upon conversion of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock; all of such shares of Greenbriar Common Stock which are issuable to the holders of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock by way of conversion, will be when issued, duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges.
7.2 Cash Reserves after a Special Asset Sale Trigger. Commencing on the

Designation) of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock.
8. Events of Default.
8.1 Notice of Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default or Potential Default, Greenbriar shall provide written notice of such Event of Default or Potential Default, including the date on which such event first occurred, to the Preferred Stock Representative within 10 days after the occurrence of such event. Any Event of Default or Potential Default may be waived in writing by the Preferred Stock Representative at any time, in which case Sections 8.2 through 8.4 shall not apply with respect to such Event of Default or Potential Default; provided, however, that no such waiver of an Event of Default or Potential Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other Event of Default or Potential Default.
8.2 Dividends During Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default resulting from (i) the failure of Greenbriar to comply with any of the covenants contained in Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.8, 6.10, 6.19, 6.20, 6.22, 6.24, 6.27-6.35 of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) any of the events specified in clauses (ii) through (viii) of the definition of "Event of Default," the holders of outstanding shares of Series G Senior NonVoting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other dividends payable hereunder to holders of shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock and when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends accruing from the date of the Event of Default (the "Default Date") in an amount per share per annum equal to $1.20 per share, payable quarterly on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year. Dividends on the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall accrue (whether or not declared) on a daily basis and shall be cumulative (whether or not in any Dividend Period there shall be funds of Greenbriar legally available for the payment of such dividends). The first dividend shall accrue from the Default Date through the last Business Day of the first calendar quarter to end after the Default Date, and subsequent dividends shall accrue on a daily basis during the dividend period for which they are payable.
8.3 Put Option. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from (i) the failure of Greenbriar to comply with any of the covenants contained in Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.10, 6.19, 6.20, 6.22, 6.27-6.35 of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) any of the events specified in clauses (iii) through (viii) of the definition of "Event of Default," each holder of shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall have the right, by written notice to Greenbriar (the "Repurchase Notice") within 90 days after the occurrence of the Event of Default, to require that Greenbriar repurchase, out of funds legally available therefor, any or all of such holder's shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to 120% of the Liquidation Value of the shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock to be repurchased as of the date of the holder's Repurchase Notice. Any Repurchase Notice shall be accompanied by duly endorsed certificates representing the shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock to be repurchased. Upon receipt of a Repurchase Notice, Greenbriar shall make payment in cash of the appropriate amount to the holder requiring repurchase with five Business Days of the date such Repurchase Notice is

holder of shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall have the
right, by written notice to Greenbriar (the "Asset Sale Repurchase Notice")
within nine months after written notice to the Preferred Stock Representative of
the occurrence of a Special Asset Sale Trigger, to require that Greenbriar
repurchase, out of funds legally available therefor, a specified number of such
holder's shares (the "Repurchase Shares") of Series G Senior Non-Voting
Preferred Stock. The Repurchase Shares may be all or any portion of such
holder's total shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock. The
Repurchase Shares shall be repurchased by Greenbriar for an amount in cash equal
to the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Repurchase Shares plus the greater of:
(i) 20% of the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Repurchase Shares or (ii) a
20% IRR on the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Repurchase Shares, in each
case, as of the date of the holder's Asset Sale Repurchase Notice. Any Asset
Sale Repurchase Notice shall be accompanied by duly endorsed certificates
representing the Repurchase Shares. Upon receipt of a Asset Sale Repurchase
Notice, Greenbriar shall make payment in cash of the appropriate amount to the
holder requiring repurchase with five Business Days of the date such Asset Sale
Repurchase Notice is received, unless prior to such payment, Greenbriar receives
written notice from such holder that such holder is withdrawing its requirement
of the repurchase of the Repurchase Shares.
8.5 Change in Management. If at any time after the date hereof, (i)
James R. Gilley is not serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors of
Greenbriar for any reason and (ii) the Preferred Stock Representative has
proposed one or more candidates for Mr. Gilley's replacement that is willing to
serve regardless of whether or not any of such candidate(s) are acceptable to
Greenbriar, unless within 15 days of the date Mr. Gilley ceases to serve as
Chairman Mr. Gilley's replacement as Chairman is mutually agreed upon by
Greenbriar and the Preferred Stock Representative, there shall have occurred a
"Change in Management" which shall give to each holder of shares of Series G
Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock the right, by written notice to Greenbriar
(the "Change in Management Repurchase Notice") within 90 days after the
occurrence of the Change in Management, to require that Greenbriar repurchase,
out of funds legally available therefor, a specified number of such holder's
shares (the "Change in Management Repurchase Shares") of Series G Senior
Non-Voting Preferred Stock. The Change in Management Repurchase Shares may be
all or any portion of such holder's total shares of Series G Senior Non-Voting
Preferred Stock. The Change in Management Repurchase Shares shall be repurchased
by Greenbriar for an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of
the Change in Management Repurchase Shares plus the greater of: (i) 20% of the
aggregate Liquidation Value of the Change in Management Repurchase Shares or
(ii) a 20% IRR on the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Change in Management
Repurchase Shares, in each case, as of the date of the holder's Change in
Management Repurchase Notice. Any Change in Management Repurchase Notice shall
be accompanied by duly endorsed certificates representing the Change in
Management Repurchase Shares which shall be free and clear of all claims, liens
and encumbrances. Upon receipt of a Change in Management Repurchase Notice,
Greenbriar shall execute a full recourse promissory note for the appropriate
amount to the holder requiring repurchase (the "Repurchase Promissory Note")
within five Business Days of the date such Change in Management Repurchase
Notice is received, unless prior to such payment, Greenbriar receives written
notice from such holder that such holder is withdrawing its requirement of
the repurchase of the Change in Management Repurchase Shares. The Repurchase
Promissory Note shall be (a) in a form agreed to by Greenbriar and the initial
purchaser of the Series G Senior Non-Voting Preferred Stock, (b) for a term of
one (1) year from the date of the Change in Management Repurchase Notice, with
50% of the principal together with all accrued interest due six (6) months from
the date of the Change in Management Repurchase Notice, (c) shall bear interest
at the lower of eighteen percent (18%) or the highest rate allowed by law, and
(d) shall be secured by the highest available lien on all of the property and
assets of Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries reasonably sufficient to secure such
holders right of repayment, including all ownership interests of all
subsidiaries of Greenbriar, except where such lien (i) is in violation of its
certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation or bylaws of Greenbriar
or any of the Subsidiaries; (ii) would create a default in the performance of
any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any license, contract,
indenture, mortgage, installment sale agreement, lease, deed of trust, voting
trust agreement, stockholders' agreement, note, loan, credit agreement, purchase
order, agreement or instrument evidencing an obligation for borrowed money or
other agreement or instrument to which Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries is
a party or by which Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries may be bound or to
which the property or assets of Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries is subject
or affected; or (iii) would create a violation in any respect of any Law
applicable to Greenbriar or any of the Subsidiaries, that would have a Material
Adverse Effect. Such liens shall be of the same priority as between all holders
requiring repurchase. The Repurchase Promissory Note shall be due and payable
immediately if Greenbriar fails to perfect liens on property and assets of
Greenbriar and the Subsidiaries reasonably sufficient to secure such holders
right of repayment within ten Business Days of the date such Change in
Management Repurchase Notice is received, unless prior to such delivery,
Greenbriar receives written notice from such holder that such holder is
withdrawing its requirement of the repurchase of its shares of Series G Senior
Non-Voting Preferred Stock.

2. Requested Registration.
(a) The Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities may, at any time, issue a Request Notice to Greenbriar, requesting Greenbriar to effect registration under the Securities Act of all or any part of the Registrable Securities, for sale in the manner specified in the Request Notice, provided that such sale will have an aggregate offering price of at least $3,000,000. Greenbriar shall give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders within 5 business days of receipt by Greenbriar of the Request Notice. Greenbriar shall use its best efforts to include in such registration all the Registrable Securities specified by any other Holder in a written request and received by Greenbriar within 25 days after the notice to other Holders is mailed or delivered by Greenbriar.
The Request Notice shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Holders making such demand request. Greenbriar shall file a registration statement for the registration of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in the Request Notice as soon as practicable and in any event within 60 days after receiving the demand request (the "Required Filing Date") and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as practicable after such filing; provided, that, subject to Section 2(d), Greenbriar need effect only two demand registrations pursuant to this Section 2.
(b) Greenbriar will not effect any other registration of any of its securities, whether for its own account or that of any other security holder, from the date of receipt of a Request Notice until the completion of the distribution of all securities thereunder; provided that on or after the 60th day after the effective date of a Registration Statement filed in connection with a Request Notice, Greenbriar may effect the registration of (i) debt securities by the Company only for its own account or (ii) equity securities by the Company only for its own account, which equity securities will be issued as consideration for an acquisition by the Company.

(d) A registration shall not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective (unless the Requesting Holders withdraw all their Registrable Securities, in which case such demand shall count as a Demand Registration unless the Requesting Holders pay all registration expenses in connection with such withdrawn registration); provided that if, after it has become effective, an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court, such registration shall be deemed not to have been effected.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 2 are subject to the terms of the existing registration rights
agreements listed on and the waivers contained in Exhibit A hereto, except to
the extent waived.
3. Piggyback Registration.
(a) If Greenbriar proposes at any time to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders (other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration on Form S-4 or a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction) Greenbriar will promptly, but in no event less than 45 days prior to the initial filing with the Commission of such registration statement, give written notice to the Holders. Such notice shall specify, to the extent known, the anticipated filing date, the number of securities proposed to be registered and the general distribution arrangements. Greenbriar will use its best efforts to include in such registration and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by any Holder and received by Greenbriar within 30 days after the written notice from Greenbriar is mailed or delivered by Greenbriar. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder's Registrable Securities.
(b) Greenbriar may, at any time prior to the effectiveness of any such registration, abandon the proposed offering; provided, however, Greenbriar shall give written notice of such abandonment to each Holder as soon as practical, but in no event more than 20 days after the determination to abandon such registration.
(c) The number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration may be reduced or eliminated if and to the extent, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter of such offering, such inclusion would materially jeopardize the successful marketing of the securities proposed to sold therein. If the aggregate number of securities must be limited pursuant to this Section, the total number of securities that may be included shall be allocated first to Greenbriar or Holders initiating a request for registration under Section 2, and then pro rata among the Holders and other security holders requesting their securities of Greenbriar to be registered pursuant to similar piggy-back registration rights on the basis of the number of shares requested to be included in such registration by each Holder or other holder having similar piggy-back registration rights. If a Holder is not entitled to include all of its Registrable Securities in such registration, then such Holder may elect to withdraw its request to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in such registration.
(d) All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall, if reasonably requested by Greenbriar or the managing underwriter in connection with such registration, (i) agree to sell such Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements entered into in connection therewith, (ii) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents that are required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and (iii) promptly provide any information requested, in writing, by Greenbriar or the managing underwriter.
(e) If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to this Section, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration Statement(s) as may be filed by Greenbriar.
4. Registration on Form S-3.
(a) Greenbriar shall use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After Greenbriar has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of Section 2, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request registrations on Form S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders); provided, however, that Greenbriar shall not be obligated to effect any such registration if (i) the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of Greenbriar entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $3,000,000 or (ii) in a given twelve-month period, Greenbriar has effected one (1) such registration in any such period.
(b) If a request complying with the requirements of Section 4(a) is delivered to Greenbriar, the provisions of Sections 2(b) and (c) hereof shall apply to such registration.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 4 are subject to the terms of the existing registration rights
agreements listed on and the waivers contained in Exhibit A hereto, except to
the extent waived.
5. Registration Procedures.
In connection with any registration to permit the sale or resale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, Greenbriar shall use its reasonable best efforts to:
(a) Keep such registration effective for a period of 120 days
or until the Holders have completed the distribution as specified in the Request
Notice, whichever first occurs; provided, however, (i) that such 120-day period
shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains
from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an
underwriter of any securities of Greenbriar; and (ii) in the case of any
registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be
offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day period shall be extended,
if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such
Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 145, or any successor rule
under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis,
and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing
the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a
post-effective amendment that (A) includes any Prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (B) reflects facts or events representing a
material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included
in (A) and (B) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the Registration Statement;
(b) Furnish to each Holder, prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto or each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus included therein and shall make Greenbriar's representatives available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and shall use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as any Holder reasonably may propose;
(c) Take any and all actions as may be necessary so that (i) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (in either case, other than with respect to written information furnished to Greenbriar by or on behalf of any Holder specifically for inclusion therein) does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading and (iii) the Prospectus (other than with respect to such information from Holders) does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(d) Keep the Registration Statement continuously effective and
provide all requisite financial statements for the period specified in Section
5(a); and upon the occurrence of any event that would cause the Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto or the Prospectus (i) to contain a material
misstatement or omission or (ii) not to be effective and usable for resale of
Registrable Securities during the period required by this Agreement, Greenbriar
shall file promptly an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement, in the case of clause (i), correcting any such misstatement or
omission, and, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration
Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended
purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter;
(e) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in
Section 5(a); cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus
supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424
and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in
accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers
thereof set forth in the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
(f) As soon as practicable, advise the Holders (which advice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(iv) shall be deemed to include an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing:
i. when the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
ii. of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;
iii. of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and
iv. of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that the Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(g) If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Registrable Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;
(h) Furnish to each Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, including all financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated by reference therein and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference);
(i) Deliver to each Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and Greenbriar consents to the use of the Prospectus by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;
(j) Prior to any public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement, register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities registered thereunder, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of such Registrable Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as such Holders or underwriters reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Greenbriar will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;
(k) Cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, subject to the provision contained in Section 5(f); provided, however, that Greenbriar's obligations pursuant to this Section 5(k) shall not extend to actions necessary to enable the seller or sellers of Registrable Securities or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities if such actions are necessary only as a result of the status of such seller or sellers or underwriter(s) as regulated entities under any regulatory regime other than the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof;
(l) Unless any Registrable Securities shall be in book-entry form only, cooperate with the Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold under the
Registration Statement, free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request in connection with the sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement;
(m) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
5(f)(ii)-(iv), file (and have declared effective as soon as possible) a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an amendment or
supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein
or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of Registrable Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were
made not misleading. Each Holder of Registrable Securities registered under the
Registration Statement agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities
that, upon receipt of any notice from Greenbriar of the existence of any fact of
the kind described in Section 5(f)(ii)-(iv) hereof, such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement until such Holder receives copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by this Section 5(m), or until such Holder is advised in
writing by Greenbriar that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and such
Holder has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so directed by Greenbriar, each
Holder will deliver to Greenbriar (at Greenbriar's expense) all copies, other
than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the Prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice. In the event Greenbriar shall give any such notice, the time period
regarding Greenbriar's obligations to maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement set forth in Section 5(a) hereof shall be extended by the
number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of
such notice pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof to and including the date when such
Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by this Section 5(m);
(n) Provide CUSIP numbers for all Registrable Securities at the time of any distribution thereof to Holders, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement, and provide a transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock;
(o) Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any "qualified independent underwriter") that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD, and use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and approved by such governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders selling Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such securities;
(p) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, as soon as practicable after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;
(q) Request a Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to Greenbriar such information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Holder's securities thereunder
as Greenbriar may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Registration Statement and Greenbriar may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request;
(r) If requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities being sold in an Underwritten Offering or the underwriter(s) thereof, promptly incorporate in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment, if necessary, such information as such Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, which may include, without limitation, information relating to the plan of distribution of the Registrable Securities, information with respect to the amount of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid therefor and with respect to any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and shall make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after Greenbriar is notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(s) Enter into such customary agreements (including an
underwriting agreement in customary form, if applicable) and take all such other
appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, and in connection
therewith, Greenbriar shall (i) make such representations and warranties to the
Holders of Registrable Securities registered thereunder and the underwriter(s),
if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to
underwriters in primary underwritten offerings; (ii) obtain opinions of counsel
to Greenbriar and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope
and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to such underwriters and the
Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities being sold)
addressed to each such Holder and underwriter covering such matters as are
customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such
other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters;
(iii) if and to the extent permitted by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72,
obtain comfort letters and updates thereof from Greenbriar's independent
certified public accountants addressed to the underwriters requesting the same,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten
offerings, and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered
pursuant to the underwriting or other agreement, without exception; (iv) in
connection with an Underwritten Offering only, set forth in full or incorporate
by reference in the underwriting agreement the indemnification provisions and
procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified
pursuant to said Section; and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may
be reasonably requested by such Holders or underwriters to evidence compliance
with Section 5(m) and with any customary conditions contained in the
underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by Greenbriar pursuant to
this Section 5(s). The foregoing actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii),
(iv) and (v) of this Section 5(s) shall be performed at each closing under any
underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder. If
at any time the representations and warranties of Greenbriar contemplated in
clause (i) above cease to be true and correct, Greenbriar shall so advise the
Purchaser and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and,
if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in writing;
(t) Make available at reasonable times for inspection by the Holders of the Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by any such Holders or underwriters, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of Greenbriar and its subsidiaries; and cause Greenbriar's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration Statement subsequent to the filing thereof as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; provided, however, that any information that is designated in writing by Greenbriar, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Holders or any such underwriter, attorney or accountant, unless such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; and provided, further that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall, to the greatest extent possible, be coordinated on behalf of the Holders and the other parties entitled thereto by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such Holders and other parties;
(u) Subject to any applicable rules thereto, cause all Common Stock included among the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed;
(v) Provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
6. Registration Expenses.
(a) Greenbriar shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation all registration filing, application and qualification fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger, delivery and telephone expenses and fees, and disbursements of counsel for Greenbriar, all independent certified public accountants and other persons retained by Greenbriar, all of Greenbriar's internal expenses relating to such registration (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Greenbriar are then listed.
(b) Each Holder will pay any discounts and commissions incurred upon the sale of securities by it under such registration.
7. Prior Approval of Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement and until no Registrable Securities remain outstanding, without the prior written consent of the Holders, Greenbriar shall not grant (i) any new demand registration rights to any Person or (ii) any new piggy-back registration rights to any Person unless such rights are expressly made subject to the prior right of Holders to include any or all of their Registrable Securities before such other Person includes any shares in any registration relating to an underwritten public offering with respect to which, in the opinion of the
managing underwriter, the inclusion in the offering of all shares requested to be registered by all Persons holding registration rights would materially jeopardize the successful marketing of the securities to be sold.
8. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In connection with any Registration Statement, Greenbriar shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents, and each Person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) which arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that Greenbriar will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Greenbriar by or on behalf of any such Holder and contained in, on the effective date of, a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.
Greenbriar also agrees to indemnify or contribute to losses of, as provided in Section 8(d), any underwriters of Registrable Securities, their officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents and each Person, if any, who controls any such underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Holders provided in Section 8(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement.
(b) Each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless Greenbriar, its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents and each Person, if any, who controls Greenbriar (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity contained in Section 8(a) hereof resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such loss, claim, damage or liability relates to or arises from information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder specifically for use in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be individual to each Holder and will be limited to the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any claim or action
commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder;
provided, however, that failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not
relieve such indemnifying party from any obligation that it may have pursuant to
this Section except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure;
provided further, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party
otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. If any such claim or
action shall be brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes,
jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice
from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to the indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof; provided, however, that an indemnified party will have the right to
employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other
charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless
(i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably
concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses
available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in
addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or
potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party)
between the indemnified party and indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action
on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in
fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable
time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which
cases the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the
expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the
indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees,
disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all such indemnified party or
parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition to the indemnity agreements
contained in Sections 8(a) and 8(b), shall use all efforts to cooperate with the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement or any such action effected without its
written consent, but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final
judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Greenbriar on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by Greenbriar on the one hand or the Holders on the other, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceedings.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled any contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations in this Section 8(d) to contribute are several in proportion and not joint.
9. Rules 144 and 144A. Greenbriar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time Greenbriar is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder's securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. Greenbriar covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)).
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless Greenbriar has obtained the written consent of the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of the Registrable Securities being sold.
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, certified mail (return receipt requested), telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
i. if to a Holder, at the address of such Holder maintained by Greenbriar;
ii. if to the Purchaser, at the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement;
iii. if to Greenbriar, at its address set forth in the Purchase Agreement;
or to such other addresses as the recipient party has specified to the sending party by prior written notice to the sending party.
All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five business days after being deposited in the mail, certified, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged by the recipient's telecopier machine, if telecopied; and on the next business day, if delivered to a next-day air courier.
(c) Remedies. In the event of a breach by Greenbriar or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or Greenbriar, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Greenbriar and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(d) Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(e) No Inconsistent Agreements. Greenbriar will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Greenbriar's securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.
(f) Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns. In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of Holders are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent Holder.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.
(h) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
(i) Governing Law. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the other operative documents described in the Purchase Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted by Greenbriar with respect to the Registrable Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Registration Rights Agreement as of the date first above written.
