terminable by such Seller or CPC of Texas or CRC San Antonio upon 90 days or
less prior notice, or any order, judgment or decree that would require the
consent of another to the execution of this Agreement or prohibit or require the
consent of another to, or make unduly burdensome the consummation of, any of the
transactions referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.5., the consummation of the transactions referred to in or
-------------
otherwise contemplated by this Agreement will not result in a breach of any term

terminable by such Seller or by CPC of Texas or CRC San Antonio upon 90 days or
less prior notice, to which any of the Sellers, CPC of Texas or CRC San Antonio
is a party, by which any Seller, CPC of Texas or CRC San Antonio is bound, or
otherwise
10
gives any other party thereto a right to terminate the same or amend the terms
thereof or result in an acceleration in the payment due under any note or any
other agreement or instrument involving obligations in respect of any Hospital

terminable by such Seller or by CPC of Texas or CRC San Antonio upon 90 days or
less prior notice, which is binding on any of the Sellers, CPC of Texas or CRC

charge under any of the foregoing on any of the Assets.

performed all obligations relating to its Hospital Business required to be
performed by it, and no Seller, CPC of Texas or CRC San Antonio is in default

guaranty, indenture, loan agreement, document or other agreement or arrangement
relating to its respective Hospital Business to which it is a party or to which

operations of any Hospital Business, and (iv) liens incurred in the ordinary
course of business of any Hospital Business (A) in connection with its workers'
compensation or unemployment insurance, or (B) to secure the performance of

or less prior notice or any order, judgment or decree that would require the
consent of another to the execution of this Agreement or prohibit or require the
consent of another to, or make unduly burdensome the consummation of, any of the
transactions referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.6., the consummation of the transactions referred to in or
-------------
otherwise contemplated by this Agreement will not result in a breach of any term
or provision of or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument
involving obligations for payment, performance of services or delivery of goods
in excess of $25,000, which continue for a period longer than twelve (12) months
and are not terminable by such Purchaser upon 90 days or less prior notice to
which any of the Purchasers is a party, by which any Purchaser is bound, or
otherwise gives any other party thereto a right to terminate the same or amend
the terms thereof or result in an acceleration in the payment due under any note
or any other agreement or instrument involving obligations for payment,
performance of services or delivery of goods in excess of $25,000, which
continue for a period longer than twelve (12) months and are not terminable by
such Purchaser upon 90 days or less prior notice which is binding on any of the
Purchasers, which breach, default, termination or acceleration would prevent any
of the Purchasers from consummating the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, or in the creation of any lien, security interest, encumbrance or
charge under any of the foregoing on any of the assets of the Purchasers.
Section 3.7. Compliance with Laws and Contracts. (a) No Purchaser
----------------------------------
is in violation of, or, to the best Knowledge of Purchaser, under investigation
with respect to, and no Purchaser has been charged with or given notice of any
violation of, any applicable law, statute, order, rule, regulation, policy or
guideline promulgated, or judgment entered, by any federal, state, local or
foreign court or governmental authority relating to its operations, including,
but not limited to, the anti-fraud and abuse amendments under the Social
Security Act, except as set forth in Schedule 3.7. Each of the Purchasers has
------------
filed with the proper authorities all statements and reports required by the
laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and orders to which it or any of
their employees (because of their activities on behalf of any of the Purchasers)
is subject, the failure to file which would reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on Parent or the operations of any hospital owned
directly or indirectly by Parent.
25
(b) Each of the Purchasers and Subsidiaries has performed all
obligations relating to its operations required to be performed by it, and no
Purchaser or Subsidiary is in default with respect to any obligation to be
performed under any contract, lease, guaranty, indenture, loan agreement,
document or other agreement or arrangement relating to its respective operations
to which it is a party or to which any of its assets are subject, nor is there
any claim of such default, which default or its consequences would reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the operations of Parent or any
hospital owned directly or indirectly by Parent.
Section 3.8. Title to the Assets. Purchasers have, and except for
-------------------
the assets disposed of or consumed in the regular and ordinary course of
business at the Closing will have, good, valid and marketable fee simple or
leasehold, as the case may be, title to each and every item of real property
owned by any Purchaser, and good, valid and marketable title to each and every
item of personal property owned by any Purchaser (excluding leased personal
property), whether tangible or intangible, which any Purchaser purports to own.
All such properties are held free and clear of all title defects, liens,
pledges, claims, charges, rights of first refusal, security interests or other
encumbrances and are not, in the case of real property, subject to any rights-
of-way, building or use restrictions, exceptions, easements, covenants,
variances, reservations or limitations of any nature whatsoever, except (i) such
encumbrances of record and such encumbrances as are set forth in the title
commitments obtained in connection with any Purchaser acquisition of its
respective properties, (ii) liens for current real property taxes and
assessments not in default, (iii) mechanics', carriers', workmen's, repairmen's
and other statutory liens, rights of way, building or use restrictions,
exceptions, variances, reservations and other limitations of any kind, if any,
which in the case of (x) liens (other than for current taxes) are not
substantial in amount and (y) clauses (ii) and (iii) above do not materially
impair the respective ordinary business operations of any Purchaser, and (iv)
liens incurred in the ordinary course of business (A) in connection with its
workers' compensation or unemployment insurance, or (B) to secure the
performance of public or statutory obligations, performance and return of money,
bonds and other similar obligations (collectively, the "BHC Permitted
Encumbrances"). No Purchaser has received notice of any violation of any
building, zoning or other law, ordinance or regulation with respect to its owned
real property or its use by any Purchaser. None of such real property is
subject to a condemnation or similar proceeding. Schedule 3.8 sets forth a list

included in the Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of
Parent as of the respective dates thereof and the other financial statements
included therein present fairly the results of operations for the periods
indicated, in each case in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied during such periods, except as set forth in
Schedule 3.10. Since September 30, 1996, Parent has not made any distributions

party or which arose out of or in connection with the operations of any
Purchaser or, to the
27
Purchaser's best Knowledge, which has been threatened against any Purchaser in
connection with any of their operations which, in the case of threatened
lawsuits or litigation, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on any Facility. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.12, no Purchaser has
-------------
within the last three years been subject to any formal or informal (of which any
Purchaser has received notice) investigations or proceedings of the Department
of Health of the state in which it operates, the United States General
Accounting Office, the Health Care Financing Administration, the Department of
Justice, the Federal Trade Commission or other similar governmental agencies
with respect to any Facility. There are no such claims, actions, proceedings or

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No Purchaser is now a party or
subject to any injunction, order, or decree restricting the method of the
conduct of its business or the marketing of any of its services, nor, except as

such claim is or has been threatened; and, except as disclosed on Schedule 3.12,
-------------
there have been no developments materially adverse to any Purchaser within the
last three years with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action or
proceeding of an administrative or judicial nature, including but not limited to

all withholding and similar provisions of the Code, and any and all other
applicable laws.
Section 3.15. Employees. Schedule 3.15 contains a list as of a

recent date, by Facility, of each of the employees of any Purchaser, their
current salary or wage rates, of such employees earning greater than $50,000 per

practices, since June 30, 1996, there has not been any increase in the
compensation payable or to become payable by any Purchaser to any of its
officers, employees or agents, or any bonus payment or arrangement made to or
with any such person, other than bonuses paid in accordance with Purchaser's
established bonus programs.
No Purchaser has incurred any liability, or, to the best Knowledge of
Purchasers, taken or failed to take any action that will result in any

Knowledge of Purchaser, there are no unfair labor practice complaints against
any Purchaser pending before the National Labor Relations Board. There is no
labor strike, dispute, slowdown or stoppage actually pending or threatened
against or affecting any Purchaser. No grievance which would reasonably be

employee strike. Each of the Purchasers will advise CPC of any such labor
dispute that arises before the Closing.

----------------- -------------
to which any Purchaser is a party involving obligations for payment, performance
of services or delivery of goods in excess of $25,000 or total rent in excess of
$100,000 and which require any Purchaser to continue to perform for a period of
longer than twelve (12) months and are not terminable by such Purchaser upon 90
days or less prior notice (the "BHC Scheduled Contracts"). Each Purchaser has

Scheduled Contracts. All of such BHC Scheduled Contracts are valid and binding
obligations of the parties thereto, are in full force and effect, and, to the
best Knowledge of the Purchasers, are enforceable against the parties thereto in
accordance with their respective terms. No Purchaser has received any notice
that the other parties to the BHC Scheduled Contracts are (i) in material

in default thereunder. Except as expressly noted in Schedule 3.17, to the best

oral, between any Purchaser and any third parties
30
claiming an interest in any Purchaser's interest in the BHC Scheduled Leases or
otherwise relating to any Purchaser's use and occupancy of any such leased real
property. All such BHC Scheduled Leases are valid and binding obligations of
the parties thereto, are in full force and effect, and, to the best Knowledge of
the Purchasers, are enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with
their terms; and to the best Knowledge of Purchasers, no event has occurred
including, without limitation, the execution, delivery and performance of this

group, employee or otherwise, that alleges that any Purchaser is not in material
compliance with the Environmental Laws or the Medical Waste Laws, and, to the
best Knowledge of Purchaser, there are no circumstances that may prevent or
interfere with such material compliance in the future. There is no
Environmental Claim pending or, to the best Knowledge of Purchaser, threatened
against, or which has been made known to, any Purchaser.
(d) During the period that the assets used in connection with the
Facility Businesses have been held by any of the Purchasers or their affiliates

(whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become
due) required to be reflected thereon or included therein (consistent with the
standards set forth in Section 3.10), except for any liabilities which have been
incurred since the dates of such Financial Statements in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practice (and that would not have a material
adverse effect on any Facility) or which have been discharged or paid in full
prior to the date hereof.
Section 3.22. No Misleading Statements. No representation or
------------------------
warranty by any Purchaser contained in this Agreement, and no statement
contained in any Schedule (including any supplement or amendment thereto) and

Purchaser (on a going concern basis) will exceed the respective liabilities of
such Sellers and its debts (including its contingent obligations);
(b) None of the Purchasers will have incurred debts (including
contingent obligations) beyond its ability to pay such debts as such debts
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received from
any source, and of amounts to be payable on or in respect of debts); and the
amount of cash available to each Seller after taking into account all other
anticipated uses of funds is anticipated to be sufficient to pay all such
amounts on or in respect of its debts, when such amounts are required to be
paid; and
(c) Each Purchaser will have sufficient capital with which to conduct
their respective businesses, and the respective property of the Purchasers does
not constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct their respective
business.
For purposes of this Section 3.24 "debt" means any liability or a (i)
right to payment whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated,
unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed,
legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for

Employees or dependents who are in a hospital receiving health care services on
the Closing Date for continuation of health care benefits beyond the period
required pursuant to the health care continuation provisions of Section 4980B of

desirable and proceed diligently and in good faith to satisfy each other
condition to the obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement to the
extent the satisfaction of such condition is within the control of any of the
Purchasers.
Section 5.3. Preservation and Access to Records After the Closing.
----------------------------------------------------
After the Closing, the Purchaser shall keep and preserve as long as legally
required all medical records, patient records, medical staff records and other
books and records of the Business existing as of the Closing relating to the

Section 5.4. Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing. On and after
----------------------------------------
the date hereof and prior to the Closing, and except as otherwise consented to
or approved by the Sellers or required by this Agreement, each Purchaser and
Subsidiary (as used in this Article V the term "Subsidiary" includes the UPG
Hospitals after the acquisitions thereof by Purchaser) shall conduct its
businesses, operations and activities only in the ordinary course of business
and consistent with past practices; provided that Seller may dispose of all or a
portion of its interest in hospitals in Texas or Cedar Vista Hospital.

------------------------
the Purchaser intends to offer employment in comparable positions, effective
simultaneously with the Closing, to all of the employees of the Sellers and of
CPC of Texas and CRC San Antonio working at the Hospitals as of the Closing
Date. All such employees who accept the Purchaser's offer of employment shall
be referred to herein as the "Hired Employees." Also prior to Closing,
Purchaser will notify Sellers and CPC of Texas and CRC San Antonio of any
employees to whom Purchaser does not intend to offer employment. In any event,
Purchaser agrees to make a sufficient number of offers of employment such that
Sellers' termination of all employees of the Hospitals prior to Closing under
this Agreement and the Merger Agreement will not constitute a violation of the
WARN Act. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser shall
be responsible for all costs and liabilities attendant to such termination.
(b) The Purchaser shall give all Hired Employees full credit for all
of the accrued vacation, holiday and sick pay of such employees, either by
allowing such employees the accrued time off reflected in the employment records
of the Seller or by making full payments to such employees of the amounts which
such employees would have received had they taken their accrued or accumulated
holiday, vacation time. Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any Hired
Employee for accrued sick time upon the termination, whether voluntary or
involuntary, of such Hired Employee.
(c) The Purchaser shall offer health insurance benefits to all Hired
Employees and their dependents (except those persons not having health insurance
benefits with the Sellers immediately prior to the Closing), effective
simultaneously with the Closing, and shall be responsible for all employee
health claims resulting from occurrences before, on or after the Closing Date
without regard to whether a Hired Employee is actively at work on said date,
except those Hired Employees who are hospitalized on the Closing Date will
remain the responsibility of the Sellers until they are discharged from the
hospital. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event shall the Sellers
be liable after Closing to Hired Employees or dependents who are in a hospital
receiving healthcare services on the Closing Date for continuation of healthcare
benefits beyond the period required pursuant to the healthcare continuation
provisions of Section 4980B of the Code and of Sections 601 through 609 of
ERISA. Any amounts which have been applied toward satisfaction of the calendar
year 1996 deductible on behalf of any Hired Employee under any insured employee
welfare
39
benefit plan of the Sellers shall be deemed to be so applied toward satisfaction
of the calendar year 1996 deductible under the applicable insured employee
welfare benefit plan of the Purchaser. Any amounts which have accumulated
towards any Hired Employee's satisfaction of a limitation on benefit payments or
coverage under any employee welfare benefit plan of the Sellers shall be applied
toward any such limitation under the applicable insured welfare benefit plan of
the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall cause its employee welfare benefit plans
to waive any limitations for pre-existing conditions with respect to conditions
affecting any Hired Employees as of the date of hire by Purchaser other than
conditions affecting such Hired Employees which were excluded with respect to
such Hired Employees as pre-existing conditions under the employee welfare
benefit plan of the Sellers. The Purchaser shall take into account all service
with the Sellers or any affiliate or division of the Sellers for purposes of
determining whether an employee has satisfied the service requirements for
eligibility, participation and all other purposes (including without limitation
vesting of benefits) under all of the employee welfare benefit plans of the
Purchaser (whether or not insured).
(d) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Hired
Employees will be offered employee benefits to the same extent as employees
occupying similar positions with similar experience with Purchaser.

Closing Date. This is not intended to be part of the purchase price for the
Assets or a dividend.

-------------
reasonable possible, to the Sellers, the most recent title reports obtained by
Purchaser in connection with its real property. The Purchaser shall also
deliver as soon as reasonably possible, to the Sellers as-built surveys of real
property owned by Purchaser showing the perimeter boundaries of such real
property and all improvements thereon. The title reports and such surveys will
be set forth on Schedule 5.7.
------------
Section 5.8. Notice and Cure. The Purchaser will notify CPC
---------------
promptly in writing of, and contemporaneously will provide CPC with true and
complete copies of, any and all information or documents relating to, and will
use all commercially reasonable efforts to cure before the Closing, any event,
transaction or circumstance occurring after the date of this Agreement that
causes or will cause any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser under this
Agreement to be breached in any material respect or that renders or will render
untrue in any material respect any representation or warranty of Purchaser
contained in this Agreement as if the same were made on or as of the date of
40

would result in the material inaccuracy of any Schedule, Purchaser shall cause
each of the Purchasers to update and supplement (pursuant to Section 11.16 of
this Agreement) any Schedule rendered inaccurate by any such event, transaction
or circumstance. In addition, Purchaser will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to cure, before the Closing, any material violation or material breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by it in this
Agreement, whether occurring or arising before or after the date of this
Agreement.

representatives, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or encourage any

or other disposition of any substantial portion (which, for purposes of this
Section 5.10, shall include the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of
one or more Facilities, other than the hospitals located in State of Texas and
Cedar Vista Hospital) of their assets (except in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice) or the transactions contemplated within this
Agreement, or the merger, amalgamation, combination or reorganization of any
Purchaser with or into any other person, corporation, partnership, or entity
(including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to the shareholders of
Parent), or provide any assistance, information or data to, or otherwise
cooperate or have discussions, with any other person, corporation, partnership,
or entity in connection with any such inquiry, proposal or transaction. In the
event that any Purchaser receives any inquiry, proposal or offer within this

with an additional 20% to vest on each anniversary of the date of grant. It is

shall be withdrawn, upon the Hospital Businesses (or the individual Hospital
relating to such claim) ceasing for any reason to be directly or indirectly
wholly owned by the Purchaser or by a corporation controlled, directly or
indirectly, by the Purchaser.
(c) In the event that an Indemnified Party is entitled to recover any
sum (whether by payment, discount, credit or otherwise) from any third party in
respect of any matter for which a claim of indemnity could be made against the
party hereto that would be liable for the Damages to an Indemnified Party
hereunder (an "Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to recover such sum from such third party (but
shall not be required to institute legal proceedings) and any sum recovered will
reduce the amount of the claim; and if the Indemnifying Party pays to the
Indemnified Party an amount in respect of, and the Indemnified Party
subsequently recovers from a third party a sum which is referable to, that
claim, the Indemnified Party shall forthwith repay to the Indemnifying Party, so
much of the amount paid by it as does not exceed the sum recovered from the
third party less all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the
Indemnified Party in obtaining payment in respect of that claim and in
recovering that sum from the third party.
(d) If either party is liable to the other for Damages arising out of
any breach, misrepresentation or nonfulfillment of any representations,
warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, then the liability of the
Indemnifying Party shall be reduced and any amount paid shall be refunded when
and to the extent that the Indemnified Party obtains the benefit of a reduction
in its liability for its tax (whether by way of credit or otherwise) which it
would not have obtained had the breach which gave rise to liability of the
Indemnifying Party not arisen.
Section 9.4. Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for
--------------------------
indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article IX will be asserted
and resolved as follows:
(a) In the event any claim or demand is asserted against or sought to
be collected from an Indemnified Party by a person other than the
Seller, the Purchaser or their affiliates (a "Third Party
Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice of its
claim (a "Claim Notice") to the Indemnifying Party within fifteen
(15) calendar days of receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim
by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to
provide the Claim Notice within fifteen (15) calendar days after
the Indemnified Party
50
receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with
respect to such Third Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party's
ability to defend has been materially prejudiced by such failure
of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will notify the
Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt
of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") whether the
Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such
Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party.
(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party
within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party desires
to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third
Party Claim pursuant to this Section, then the Indemnifying
Party will have the right to defend, at its sole cost and
expense, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate
proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the
Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled
at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The
Indemnifying Party will have full control of such defense
and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement
thereof; provided that the Indemnified Party may, at its
--------
sole cost and expense, file during the Notice Period prior
to the time the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified
Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the
Indemnified Party any motion, answer or other pleadings that
the Indemnified Party may deem necessary or appropriate to
protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and
not prejudicial, in the reasonable judgment of the
Indemnifying Party, to the Indemnifying Party (it being
understood and agreed that, except as provided in subsection
(a)(ii) hereof, if an Indemnified Party takes any such
action that is prejudicial and causes a final adjudication
that is adverse to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying
Party will be relieved of its obligations hereunder with
respect to the portion of such Third Party Claim prejudiced
by the Indemnified Party's action); and
51
provided further that if requested by the Indemnifying
-------- -------
Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third
Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest,
or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in
question, in making any counterclaim against the person
asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint
against any person (other than the Indemnified Party or any
of its affiliates). The Indemnified Party may participate
in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third
Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to
this Section 9.4(a)(i), and except as provided in the
preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party will bear its own
costs and expenses with respect to such participation.
(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified
Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party
desires to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Section 9.4(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such
notice but fails to prosecute diligently or settle the Third
Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any
notice whatsoever within the Notice Period, then the
Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole
cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, a Third Party
Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will
be promptly and vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified
Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the
discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of
such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or
settlement thereof; provided that if requested by the
--------
Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party agrees, at the
sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to
cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in
contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party
is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third
Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim
52
against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any
cross-compliant against any person (other than the
Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection,
if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party
with reasonable promptness that the Indemnifying Party
disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect
to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved
in, favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided
in subsection (b) of this Section, the Indemnifying Party
will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the
Indemnified Party's defense pursuant to this Section or of
the Indemnifying Party's participation therein at the
Indemnified Party's request, and the Indemnified Party will
reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all costs and
expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection
with such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may
participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement
controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Section, and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs
and expenses with respect to such participation.
(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against
any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third
Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from
the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an
Indemnity Notice (as hereinafter defined) to the Indemnifying
Party. (The term "Indemnity Notice" shall mean written
notification of a claim for indemnity under Article IX hereof
(which claim does not involve a Third Party Claim or is a Tax
Claim) by an Indemnified Party to an Indemnifying Party pursuant
to this Section 9.4, specifying the nature of and specific basis
for such claim and the amount or the estimated amount of such
claim.) The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the
Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's rights hereunder
except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that
it has been prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party does
not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days
following its receipt of a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice
that the Indemnifying
53
Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder,
such claim specified by the Indemnified Party will be
conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party
hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such
liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or on such later
date (i) in the case of a Third Party Claim, as the Indemnified
Party suffers Damages in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii)
in the case of an Indemnity Notice in which the amount of the
claim is estimated, when the amount of such claim becomes finally
determined or (iii) in the case of a Tax Claim, within fifteen
(15) days following final determination of the item giving rise
to the claim for indemnity. If the Indemnifying Party has timely
disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided
above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to
proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute,
and if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute may be
resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent
jurisdiction.
(c) In the event the Purchaser should claim indemnity against Sellers
hereunder, the Purchaser agrees to give Sellers reasonable access
to the books and records and employees of the Purchaser in
connection with the matters for which indemnification is sought
hereunder, to the extent Sellers reasonably deem necessary in
connection with its rights and obligations hereunder and to the
extent any privileged information of the Purchaser will not be
adversely affected.
(d) The Indemnified Party shall assist and cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party in the conduct of litigation, the making of
settlements and the enforcement of any right of contribution to
which the Indemnified Party may be entitled from any person or
entity in connection with the subject matter of any litigation
subject to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the
Indemnified Party shall, upon request by the Indemnifying Party
or counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (without payment of
any fees or expenses to the Indemnified Party or an employee
thereof), attend depositions, hearings and trials, assist in the
securing and giving of evidence, assist in obtaining the presence
or cooperation of witnesses, and make available its own
personnel; and shall do whatever else is necessary and
appropriate in connection
54
with such litigation. Subject to the right of the Indemnifying
Party to control the litigation, the Indemnified Party shall not
make any demand upon the Indemnifying Party or counsel for the
Indemnifying Party in connection with any litigation subject to
indemnification hereunder, except a general demand for
indemnification as provided hereunder. If the Indemnified Party
shall fail to perform such obligations as Indemnified Party
hereunder or to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in
Indemnifying Party's defense of any suit or proceeding, such
cooperation to include, without limitation, attendance at all
depositions and the provision of all documents relevant to the
defense of any claim, then, except where such failure does not
have an adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party's defense of
such claims, the Indemnifying Party shall be released from all of
its obligations under this Agreement with respect to that suit or
proceeding and any other claims which had been raised in such
suit or proceeding.
(e) Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party with respect to all Persons relating to the
matter for which indemnification has been made.
Section 9.5. Exclusive. Any dispute arising under this Agreement or
---------
in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any Damages or injury alleged to be suffered by either party as a
result of the actions or failure to act by any other party shall, unless
otherwise specifically stated, be governed solely and exclusively by the
provisions of this Article IX.
Section 9.6. METHOD OF PAYMENT.
-----------------
(a) Any amounts required to be paid to Purchaser by Sellers pursuant
to Section 9.1 hereof shall be paid in cash.
(b) Any amounts required to be paid to Sellers by Purchaser pursuant
to Section 9.2 and Section 11.22 hereof or by virtue of any breach of any other
agreements executed concurrently herewith or in connection with the Closing (the
"Additional Amounts") shall be in the form of additional shares of BHC Preferred
Stock (and/or, at the election of CPC, BHC Common Stock so long as CPC thereupon
owns less than 20% of the outstanding BHC Common Stock) (the "Additional
Shares") such that the value of the BHC Common Stock and BHC Preferred Stock
theretofore issued pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this
Section 9.6), with such value being determined prior to the issuance of the
Additional Shares (the "Original Value"), plus the value of the Additional
Shares equals the Original Value plus the Additional Amounts after giving effect
to the dilutive effects caused by the issuance of the Additional Shares, all as
provided below. For example, assume that the value of the BHC Common Stock and
BHC Preferred Stock held by Sellers prior to the issuance of Additional Shares
is $50 million and that Sellers are entitled to receive $3 million from
Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof. In such case, BHC shall issue to
Sellers a number of shares of BHC Preferred Stock (or BHC Common Stock as
provided above) such that following the issuance of such shares (and after
giving effect to the reduced value of the Original Shares as a result of the
dilution caused by the issuance of the Additional Shares) Sellers shall hold BHC
Common Stock and BHC Preferred Stock having a value of $53 million.
55
(c) If at the time Additional Shares are to be issued pursuant to
Section 9.2(b) BHC Common Stock is not publicly traded, the number of Additional
Shares to be issued to Sellers pursuant to Section 9.6(b) hereof shall be
determined as provided in this Section 9.6(c). Promptly upon determination of
the Additional Amounts, Parent and CPC shall attempt in good faith to agree upon
the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers. If the parties are
unable to agree upon the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers
within 30 days of the date of the determination of the Additional Amounts,
Parent and CPC shall each appoint one investment banker not affiliated with
either party who is experienced in valuing businesses similar to Parent's
business to determine the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers,
taking into account the reduced value of the Original Shares as a result of the
dilutive effect of the issuance of Additional Shares. If the two investment
bankers are unable to agree upon the number of Additional Shares to be issued to
Sellers within 30 days, CPC and Parent shall deliver to the other their
determination of the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers and
shall jointly select a third investment banker with the same qualifications to
determine the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers. If CPC and
Parent are unable to agree upon the third investment banker, such investment
banker shall be selected by an arbitrator selected pursuant to the commercial
rules of the American Arbitration Association. The third investment banker shall
select either the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers submitted
by CPC or the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers submitted by
Parent as the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Sellers. Promptly
following the determination of the number of Additional Shares to be issued to
Sellers, Parent shall issue to Sellers such Additional Shares. The fees and
expenses of such investment bankers shall be borne by Parent.
(d) If at the time Additional Shares are to be issued pursuant to
Section 9.2(b) BHC Common Stock is publicly traded, the value of Additional
Shares to be issued to Sellers pursuant to Section 9.6(b) shall be determined as
provided in this Section 9.6(d). Promptly upon determination of the Additional
Amounts, the Parent shall issue a press release stating, among other things, the
amount owed to Sellers, that Additional Shares will be issued in satisfaction of
such obligation and the method by which the value of the Additional Shares will
be determined. The average closing price of the BHC Common Stock on the
principal exchange on which it is traded or on the NASDAQ National Market System
(or, if such stock is not so traded, then the average of the closing bid and
asked prices of such stock) for the 20 business day period commencing five
business days following the issuance of the press release shall then be
determined (the "Average Price"). Promptly following the determination of the
Average Price, the Parent shall issue to Sellers Additional Shares with an
aggregate value (valuing each Additional Share at the Average Price) such that
Sellers then hold BHC Common Stock and BHC Preferred Stock with an aggregate
value (valuing each share at the Average Price) equal to the Original Value (for
such purposes, the Original Value will be determined using the method of
calculation for the Average Price, except that the 20 business day period shall
be the 20 business days preceding the date of determination of the Additional
Amounts plus the Additional Amounts.
56
(e) For purposes of this Section 9.6, the value of a share of BHC
Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the value of a share of BHC
Common Stock.
(f) Any payments required pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be
considered as adjustments to Purchase Price and shall not be considered a
dividend.
ARTICLE X
TAX AND MEDICARE MATTERS
------------------------

records or documents relating to tax liabilities or potential tax liabilities
attributable to the Hospital Businesses for all periods prior to the Closing and
shall preserve all such information, records and documents at least until the

maintaining information, records and documents in connection with tax matters.
(c) In the event that the Purchaser receives written notice from an
appropriate taxing authority of any pending or threatened examination, claim,
settlement, proposed adjustment or related matter with respect to the taxes of
the Sellers that could affect the Sellers or any affiliate of the Sellers, or if
the Sellers or any affiliate of the Sellers receive written notice from an
appropriate taxing authority of any such matters that could affect the Purchaser
or any of its subsidiaries or respective affiliates, the party receiving notice
shall notify in writing the potentially affected party within thirty (30) days
following its receipt thereof. The failure of any party to give the notice
required by this Section 10.1 shall not impair that party's rights under this
Agreement except to the extent that the other party demonstrates that is has
been materially prejudiced thereby.
(d) In the case of any audit, examination or other proceeding (a
"Proceeding") with respect to taxes for which the Seller is or may be liable
pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser shall promptly inform the Sellers, and
the Purchaser shall execute or cause to be executed powers of attorney or other
documents necessary to enable the Sellers to take all actions desired by the
Sellers with respect to such Proceeding to the extent such Proceeding may affect
the amount of taxes for which the Sellers are liable pursuant to this Agreement.
The Sellers shall have the right to control any such Proceeding, and, if there
is a reasonable basis therefor, to initiate any claim for refund, file any
amended return or take any other action that they deem appropriate with respect
to such taxes. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such
Proceeding shall be borne by the Sellers, and the Purchaser shall be reimbursed
by the Sellers for any and all reasonable direct costs and expenses incurred by
them in connection with such Proceeding.
(e) In order to avoid withholding tax in the sale proceeds allowable
to the sale of the Real Property, at the Closing the Seller shall provide the
Purchaser with Code Section 1445 Certifications evidencing that each Seller is
not a foreign person.
58

----------------------------------------------------
(a) In respect of Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS, and cost-based Blue Cross cost
reports, the Purchaser shall be entitled to, and be responsible for, any
Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS and cost-based Blue Cross receivables or payables
relating to the Hospitals except for receivables and payables relating to

the sole control of, and discretion to make any and all decisions related to,
such group appeals, including without limitation, determination of reimbursement
issues to appeal, content of position papers, venue, legal counsel, and whether

the Hospitals' proportionate interests in any group appeals controlled by the
Sellers. The Sellers' detailed records related to home office and intercompany
transaction group appeals are proprietary and shall not be subject to disclosure
to the Purchaser.
(d) The Purchaser agrees that it shall not file or cause to be filed
any amended cost reports in any Seller's name for periods ending prior to the

-----------------------------------
that any income tax audit of either (i) the affiliate group of corporations of
which CPC is the common parent undergoes tax audit adjustments for any taxable

group of
60
corporations that included CPC of Texas, or (ii) utilize available tax loss
carry forwards or credits of such taxpayer or groups of taxpayer, then Purchaser

--------------------
therein to the contrary notwithstanding, as between the Purchaser and third
parties, this Agreement and the Assignment and Undertakings shall not constitute
an assignment or an agreement to assign any claim, right, contract, license,
lease, commitment, sales order or purchase order if an attempted assignment
thereof without the consent of another party thereto would constitute a breach
thereof or in any material way affect the rights of the Sellers thereunder,
unless such consent is obtained; provided that, as between the Purchaser and the
--------
Sellers, such assignments or agreements shall be valid and binding. If such
consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment would be ineffective or

would not in fact receive all such rights, the Seller shall cooperate in any
reasonable arrangement designed to provide for the Purchaser the benefits under
any such claim, right, contract, license, commitment, sales order or purchase
order, including, without limitation, enforcement of any and all rights of the

including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and necessary
disbursements, in addition to any other relief to which such party shall be
entitled.

--------
in this Agreement, any payment required to be made by any party pursuant to this
Agreement, if not paid before thirty days after the date such payment is
required to be made (such 30th day being the "Interest Commencement Date"),
shall include interest from the Interest Commencement Date to the day such
payment is made, computed at an interest rate equal to the rate paid by
Purchaser from time to time under the financing referred to in Section 7.7. All
requests for payment pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a
certificate of an officer of the party entitled to receive such payment setting
forth the amount of the payment due pursuant to this Agreement (without regard
to any amounts payable through operation of this Section), the applicable
Interest Commencement Date and the applicable interest rate.
Section 11.24. Omissions to Schedules and Exhibits. In the case of
-----------------------------------
any contract, obligation or other item required to be reflected on an exhibit or
schedule to this Agreement which is omitted therefrom (an "Omitted Item"), the
Omitted Item will be deemed to be properly included in such exhibit or schedule
as of the date hereof provided that (i) the Omitted Item was incurred or entered
into or arose in the regular and ordinary course of business, reasonably
consistent with prior practice, (ii) it does not require the expenditure of
future sums in excess of $50,000 and (iii) it was omitted inadvertently and in
good faith.
ARTICLE XII
NONCOMPETITION
--------------
Section 12.1. Noncompetition. (a) The Sellers recognize that (i) the
--------------
Purchaser's entering into this Agreement is induced primarily because of the
covenants and assurances made by the Sellers hereunder, (ii) the Sellers'
covenant not to compete is necessary to insure the continuation of the Hospital
Businesses subsequent to the Closing, and (iii) irreparable harm and damage will
be done to the Purchaser in the event that the Sellers, or the Sellers'
affiliates, compete with the Purchaser within the area or areas specified in
this Section. Therefore, in consideration of the premises and as an inducement
for the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions
contemplated herein, the Sellers agree that, for a period of three (3) years
from and after the Closing Date, the Sellers, their affiliates (other than
affiliates which become affiliates as a result of the acquisition of stock or
assets of CPC or one or more Sellers) (the "Regulated Persons") will not own,
lease, manage or operate any psychiatric hospitals, beds or units within the 25-
mile radiuses of the Hospitals or any facility operated by Purchaser on the
Closing Date (the "Proscribed Area"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Regulated Persons may own, lease, manage and operate
67
beds and/or units within the Proscribed Area: (a) in any non-psychiatric
hospital acquired by the Regulated Person, provided that Purchaser has been
offered a right of first refusal to manage the psychiatric services provided at
such hospital on then reasonably customary terms (provided that Sellers shall
not enter into any agreement to manage such psychiatric services on terms less
favorable to Seller than those last offered to Purchaser) and (b) at THC New
Orleans. The parties agree that no portion of the Purchase Price shall be
allocated to the noncompetition covenant contained in this Article XII.
68
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
