(28.4%) of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Such
percentage shall equal one hundred (100) times the following quotient. The
numerator of such quotient shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that
the Purchaser would be entitled to receive if the Purchaser were to convert
into Common Stock, immediately following the Closing and pursuant to the
terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation, all of the shares of Series
B Preferred Stock the Purchaser is to receive at the Closing pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The denominator of such quotient shall equal the sum
of (1) such numerator, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock that
would need to be issued if all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to
be issued pursuant to the GE Purchase Agreement (whether issuable at the
Closing or at the Second Closing) were converted into Common Stock, pursuant
to the terms of the Series C Certificate of Designation, plus (3) the number
of shares of Common Stock that would need to be issued if the all of the
Warrants and GE Warrants were exercised in full, plus (4) the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock that would need to be issued if all of the
issuances of Capital Stock contemplated in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v)
of Section 4.2(b) were to occur immediately following the Closing plus (5)
all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Closing Date. The
calculation in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made as if all
issuances of Common Stock referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5)
thereof were made immediately following the Closing, whether or not the
Company is or could be under any obligation to issue such shares of Common
Stock immediately following the Closing.

following receipt by the Purchaser of the audited financial statements of the
Company for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 1998, except as to (a) the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.13 (to the

care industry and the provision of health care services, third party
reimbursement (including Medicare and Medicaid), public health and safety and

based on fraud by the Company in making any of the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement. With respect to the matters set forth

respect of such matters shall survive indefinitely.
8.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY.
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser,
its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, the Carlyle Affiliates and the directors,
officers, employees, stockholders and partners of each of the Purchaser, its
Subsidiaries, its Affiliates and the Carlyle Affiliates (individually, an
"Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and
against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and
disbursements of any kind ("Losses") which may be imposed upon or incurred by
the Purchaser in any manner relating to or arising out
60
of any untrue representation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any
covenant or agreement by the Company contained in this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the schedules and exhibits hereto), the Series B
Certificate of Designation, the Series D Certificate of Designation, the
Ancillary Agreements or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant
hereto or thereto or arising out of any Applicable Laws relating to health
care, the health care industry and the provision of health care services,
third party reimbursement (including Medicare and Medicaid), public health
and safety and wrongful death and medical malpractice or otherwise relating
to or arising out of the Transaction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company
shall provide no indemnification with respect to Losses relating to or
arising out of the Transaction if such Losses were caused principally by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of one or more Indemnified Parties.
8.3 LIMITATION ON INDEMNITIES.
No Claim may be made against the Company for indemnification
pursuant to Section 8.2 until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses
indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.2 exceeds $250,000 (in which event the
Purchaser shall be entitled to claim the whole amount of such Losses and not
merely the excess). In no event shall the aggregate amount paid by the
Company pursuant to Section 8.2 exceed $25 million with respect to Claims
arising out of or related to matters other than breaches of the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 4.13 (to the
extent related to Applicable Laws relating to health care, the health care
industry and the provision of health care services, third party reimbursement
(including Medicare and Medicaid), public health and safety and wrongful
death and medical malpractice), 4.32, 4.33, 4.34, 4.35, 4.36 and 6.9 (to the
extent related to Applicable Laws relating to health care, the health care
industry and the provision of health care services, third party reimbursement
(including Medicare and Medicaid), public health and safety and wrongful
death and medical malpractice), as to which breaches of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in such Sections, there shall be no cap on
the Company's indemnification obligations under Section 8.2.
8.4 LOSSES.
The term "Losses" as used in this Article VIII is not limited
to matters asserted by third parties but includes Losses incurred or
sustained by an Indemnified Party in the absence of third party claims. The
difference between (a) any insurance proceeds received by an Indemnified
Party in respect of Losses and (b) the legal costs and expenses incurred by
such Indemnified Party, if any, in seeking the payment of such insurance
proceeds from the insurer or insurers who insured against such Loss, shall be
deducted from any Claim for indemnification made by such Indemnified Party
against the Company. Payments by an Indemnified Party of amounts for which
such Indemnified Party is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition
precedent to recovery. If, after payment of any Claim by the Company to an
Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds on
account of the Loss indemnified by such payment by the Company, such
Indemnified Party shall pay to the Company the lesser of (a) the amount of
the payment on the Claim with respect to such Loss by the Company to the
Indemnified Party and (b) the amount of such insurance proceeds minus the
legal costs and
61
expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party, if any, in seeking the payment
of such insurance proceeds from the insurer or insurers who insured against
such Loss.
8.5 DEFENSE OF CLAIMS.
If a claim for Losses (a "Claim") is to be made by an
Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a "Claim
Notice") to the Company as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party
becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses
for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VIII. If any
lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party
hereunder, notice thereof (a "Third Party Notice") shall be given to the
Company as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) calendar
days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any
Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to
indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Company demonstrates
actual damage caused by such failure. After receipt of a Third Party Notice,
if the Company shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party that the
Company shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in
connection with such lawsuit or action, then the Company shall be entitled,
if it so elects, (a) to take control of the defense and investigation of such
lawsuit or action, (b) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to
handle and defend the same, at the Company's cost, risk and expense unless
the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the Company and
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing
by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such
Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to
the Company, and (c) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or
settlement (i) shall be made and entered into only with the advance written
consent of the Indemnified Party (in its sole discretion) if such compromise
or settlement, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, would
cause more than de minimis harm to such Indemnified Party's business
reputation, (ii) may be made and entered into in the sole discretion of the
Company if such compromise or settlement provides for the payment solely of
cash to the claimant in such lawsuit in full satisfaction of such claimant's
claim therein and includes a release of the Indemnified Party to the maximum
extent permitted by law (and would not otherwise, in the reasonable judgment
of such Indemnified Party, cause more than de minimis harm to such
Indemnified Party's business reputation) and (iii) otherwise shall be entered
into only with the advance written consent of the Indemnified Party (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party shall
cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company and such attorneys in
the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal
arising therefrom; and the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost,
participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action
and any appeal arising therefrom and appoint its own counsel therefor, at its
own cost. The parties shall also cooperate with each other in any
notifications to insurers. If the Company fails to assume the defense of
such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Third Party
Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will
(upon delivering notice to such effect to the Company) have the right to
undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim at the
Company's cost and the Company shall have the right to participate therein at
its own cost; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or
settled without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. In the event the
62
Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party
will keep the Company reasonably informed of the progress of any such
defense, compromise or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
