9.2 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to Closing, Buyer shall offer employment as of the Effective Time to substantially all active employees of Seller listed on Schedule 5.27(b) at wages no less favorable than those currently enjoyed by such employees and at benefit levels equivalent to those provided to similarly-situated employees of Buyer and shall not terminate 50 or more of those employees who accept such offers until at least 90 days after the Effective Time; subject, however, to the pre-employment screening requirements of Buyer.

(f) intentionally not take any action or omit to take any action, which action or omission would result in a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 5 of this Agreement.

9.8 Noncompete Agreement.

(a) In consideration for the benefits Seller and its Affiliates will receive in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, which benefits Seller hereby acknowledges, and as further consideration for, and as a condition to, the transactions contemplated hereby, and in order that Buyer and its Affiliates shall receive and be able to maintain the benefit of the goodwill, trade secrets and confidential information which Seller enjoys and has enjoyed in connection with its operation of the Business, and recognizing that the covenants contained herein are not severable from such goodwill and are granted to Buyer in order to protect the same, and in order to otherwise protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer, Seller covenants and agrees that for a period commencing as of the Closing Date and continuing thereafter for a period of three years, Seller will not anywhere within the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly (i) operate, develop or own any interest (other than the ownership of less than 5% of the equity securities of a publicly traded company) in any business which has activities relating to ownership of, the management or operation of, or consultation regarding a behavioral health hospital, residential treatment center, therapeutic group home, or other facility providing behavioral health inpatient, outpatient or residential treatment services or other services that in any event involve behavioral health or chemical and drug dependency-related consulting and healthcare services (a “Competing Business”); (ii) consult with any business which owns, manages or operates a Competing Business; (iii) interfere with, solicit, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective relationship, contractual or otherwise, between Buyer or its Affiliates, on one hand, and any patient, supplier or employee of Buyer or its Affiliates (except as otherwise provided by applicable law), on the other hand; or (iv) solicit any past, present or prospective employee (including all officers and managers, all regional managers and all general managers) of Buyer or its Affiliates to leave his or her employment with Buyer or its Affiliates ((i)-(iv) above being collectively the “Prohibited Activities”), such Restricted Territory and Prohibited Activities substantially covering the geography and activities that comprise the market in which the Business conducts its operations and affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit Seller from owning, leasing, developing, managing, operating, consulting with, providing services to or otherwise directly or indirectly engaging in the Competing Businesses or in the Prohibited Activities within the Restricted Territory during said three-year period, on behalf of, or under a contract, subcontract, lease or other arrangement with (1) a Governmental Authority, except CMS for acute in-patient psychiatric services at a private free-standing psychiatric facility, or (2) any other entity who is either engaged on behalf of a Governmental Authority or has contracted or subcontracted with a party whereby the engagement is ultimately derived from a Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Seller’s facilities at South Florida State Hospital and South Florida Evaluation Treatment Center).

(b) Seller hereby acknowledges that its agreement not to engage in the activities prohibited herein for the period of time provided herein are manifestly reasonable upon their face and that they are reasonable as to time and no greater than is required for the reasonable protection of Buyer in light of the substantial harm that Buyer will suffer should Seller breach any of the provisions of this Section 9.8. Seller further agrees that the nature, kind and character of the activities prohibited herein are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of Buyer.

(c) If a judicial determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 9.8 constitute an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Seller, the provisions of this Section 9.8 shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial determination finds such provisions to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. Any judicial authority construing this Section 9.8 shall be empowered to sever any portion of the Restricted Territory or Prohibited Activities from the coverage of this agreement and to apply the provisions of this Section 9.8 to the remaining portion of the territory or the remaining activities not so severed by such judicial authority.

(d) Seller agrees that any violation of this Section 9.8 by Seller will result in irreparable injury to Buyer, that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the covenants contained herein will be inadequate and that in the event of any such breach, Buyer, in addition to any other remedies or damages available to Buyer at law or in equity, shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief before trial from any court of competent jurisdiction as a matter of course and to permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or securing or posting any bond. In the event of any breach of this Section 9.8 by Seller and in addition to an injunction, Buyer shall also be entitled to recover the amount of fees and other compensation earned by Seller as a result of any such breach, plus any other damages a court of competent jurisdiction may find appropriate. The time period set forth in this Section 9.8 shall be tolled and suspended for a period of time equal to the aggregate quantity of time during which Seller violates such prohibitions in any respect.

9.9 No-Shop Agreement. In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and Buyer’s willingness to pursue this transaction, neither Seller nor any of Seller’s officers, directors or Affiliates shall, except as expressly contemplated herein, directly or indirectly, without Buyer’s prior written consent, initiate or hold discussions with, or provide any information to, any corporation, partnership, Person or other entity (other than Buyer) concerning a purchase, affiliation, joint venture or lease of all or a material part of or an investment in the Facility or Business, directly or indirectly, whether by sale of capital stock, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, lease, affiliation, joint venture or other transaction. Seller will within 2 days notify Buyer by telephone and thereafter confirm in writing if any such discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated with, or any such proposal or possible proposal is received by Seller or its officers, directors, advisors or Affiliates and shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the person and the terms and conditions of such proposal, inquiry or contact. In the event Seller or its officers, directors or Affiliates receives an unsolicited offer relating to a type of transaction described above, Seller shall promptly inform the person making such unsolicited offer of the existence of this provision, and Seller shall decline to entertain such offer.

9.10 Cost Reports. Seller, at its expense, shall prepare and timely file all termination and other cost reports required or permitted by law to filed under the Medicare or other third party payor programs for all periods ending at or prior to the Effective Time, or as a result of the consummation of the transaction described herein.

9.11 Misdirected Payments. Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to remit, with reasonable promptness, to the other any payments received, which payments are on or in respect of accounts or notes receivable owned by, or otherwise payable to, the other. In addition, and without limitation, in the event of a determination by any Governmental Authority or third party payor that payments to Seller or the Facility

resulted in an overpayment or other determination that funds previously paid by any program or plan to Seller or the Facility must be repaid, Seller shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered prior to the Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for such repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered after the Closing. In the event that, following the Closing, Buyer suffers any offsets against reimbursement against any third party payor or reimbursement programs due to Buyer, relating to amounts owed under any such programs by Seller or the Facility, Seller shall immediately upon written demand from Buyer pay to Buyer the amounts so billed or offset. These obligations shall be in addition to any other remedies available herein.

9.12 Use of Controlled Substance Permit. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Buyer shall have the right, for a period not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing, to operate under the licenses and registrations of Seller and the Facility relating to controlled substances (“Controlled Substances Licenses”), until the Seller is able to obtain its own Controlled Substances Licenses. In furtherance thereof, Seller and the Facility shall execute and deliver to Buyer at or prior to Closing limited powers of attorney to facilitate such use. Seller does not, and shall not, make any representation regarding the lawfulness or validity of any such limited power of attorney, and Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against Buyer’s use of any such limited power of attorney or use of Seller’s Controlled Substances Licenses.

(f) the failure of any third party to consent to the assignment of any Assumed Contract.

10.3 Survival/Indemnity Period. Except for the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in 5.15, 5.16, 5.19, 5.20, 5.23, 5.25, 5.26, 5.28 and 5.29 hereof (which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations) and except for the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in 5.7(a), 5.8 (which shall survive for four years after the Effective Time), the representations and warranties of Seller set forth herein shall survive Closing for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date and any claim by Buyer against Seller in respect of such representations and warranties must be brought, if at all, during such 18 month period. The representations and warranties of Buyer set forth herein shall survive Closing for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date and any claim by Seller in respect of such representations and warranties must be brought, if at all, during such 18 month period.

10.4 Limitations. Notwithstanding Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof, the rights of the parties to be indemnified and held harmless under this Agreement shall be limited as follows: (a) No claim for indemnity by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.1(a) hereof shall be made unless and until, and only to the extent that, the aggregate dollar amount of all such claims shall have exceeded $110,000, and after such amount has been exceeded the Buyer Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for all such Losses back to the first dollar; (b) No claim for indemnity by a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof shall be made unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all such claims shall have exceeded $110,000, and after such amount has been exceeded the Seller Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for all such Losses back to the first dollar; (c) The maximum aggregate liability of any party for indemnification claims made pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.2(a) hereof shall be limited to the Purchase Price. No claim pursuant to Section 10.1(a) and Section 10.2(a) may be asserted under this Agreement unless either (i) the party making the claim gives the party against whom the claim is to be made notice of such claim before the end of the applicable survival period or (ii) the party against whom the claim would be made has actual knowledge of the facts which are the basis of the claim. The liability of a party with respect to any claim pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 hereof shall be offset dollar for dollar by (i) any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnitee after the Effective Time in respect of the Losses involved, and (ii) any other recovery made by the Indemnitee from any third party on account of the Losses involved. Buyer agrees that before any indemnity obligations can be sought

against Seller or GEO for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.7(a) or Section 5.8 of this Agreement Buyer must make a claim under its title insurance policy and only pursue Seller or GEO for damages in excess of the amounts recovered under such title insurance policy. Nothwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the survival period for indemnity for a breach of Section 5.7(a) or Section 5.8 shall be tolled while Buyer pursues claims under its title insurance policy.

10.5 Notice and Procedure.

(a) Any person seeking indemnity under any provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnitor”) as to (i) the nature of any claims, damages, losses or liabilities asserted by or against the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnity hereunder (“Claims”) and (ii) the commencement of any suit or proceeding brought to enforce any Claims. The Indemnitor shall assume the defense of any such suit or other proceeding and the Indemnitee shall cooperate fully, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, and shall be entitled reasonably to consult with the Indemnitor with respect to such defense; provided however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnitee, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor.

(b) The Indemnitee, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, shall assist and cooperate with the Indemnitor in the conduct of litigation, the making of settlements and the enforcement of any right of contribution to which the Indemnitee may be entitled from any person or entity in connection with the subject matter of any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the Indemnitee shall, upon request by the Indemnitor or counsel selected by the Indemnitor and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, attend hearings and trials, assist in the securing and giving of evidence, assist in obtaining the presence or cooperation of witnesses, make available its own personnel, and effect settlements; and shall do whatever else is reasonably necessary and appropriate in connection with such litigation. The Indemnitee shall not make any demand upon the Indemnitor or counsel for the Indemnitor in connection with any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder, except a general demand for indemnification as provided hereunder. The Indemnitee shall not, except at its own cost, voluntarily make any payment, assume any obligation, incur any expense, or settle or compromise any claim without the express approval of the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to join in the defense of any litigation or claim at such Indemnitee’s own cost and expense, and, if the Indemnitee agrees in writing to be bound by and promptly to pay the full amount of any final judgment from which no further appeal may be taken and if the Indemnitor is reasonably assured of the Indemnitee’s ability to satisfy such agreement, then, at the option of the Indemnitee, such Indemnitee may take over the defense of such litigation or claim.

(c) If the Indemnitee shall fail to notify promptly the Indemnitor as to (i) the nature of any Claims or (ii) the commencement of any suit or proceeding brought to enforce any Claims, or if the Indemnitee shall fail to perform its obligations as the Indemnitee hereunder or to cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in the Indemnitor’s defense of any suit or proceeding, then the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of such Claim shall continue, but shall be limited to the damages that would have nonetheless resulted absent the Indemnitee’s failure to notify the Indemnitor in the time required above

after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnitor had it received timely notice from the Indemnitee.

10.6 Right of Set-Off. Upon the agreement of the parties or a final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, any amounts owed among the parties arising from obligations of indemnity pursuant to this Article 10 may be set-off against amounts otherwise owed from one party to the other.

10.7 Disregarding Materiality Exceptions. For purposes of the calculating the amount of Losses to which an Indemnitee is entitled under this Article 10 (but not for purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty has been breached), the terms “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and other qualifiers, modifiers or limitations (including monetary values and qualifiers as to “knowledge”) shall be disregarded.

10.8 Remedies. Except as provided in Section 11.3, the indemnification rights provided in Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit either party from seeking specific performance with respect to its rights under this Agreement.

10.9 No Consequential Damages. In no event shall any party hereto be liable hereunder for any special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, any claim by Buyer based upon a multiple of earnings with respect to any unaudited financial statements or information provided by Seller).

11. TERMINATION

(b) by either Buyer or Seller if any permanent injunction, court order or other order, decree or ruling of any court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or new law or change to existing law permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall have been issued and become final and non-appealable;

(c) by either the Buyer or the Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred by January 1, 2006; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(c) shall not be available to (i) any party whose breach of its representations and warranties in this Agreement or whose failure to perform any of its covenants and agreements under this Agreement shall have been a contributing cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date, or (ii) any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement or whose failure to use all good faith efforts to promptly cause the satisfaction of the conditions under Article 7 or Article 8, as applicable, has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur by such date; provided, further, if the Closing shall not have occurred by January 1, 2006 solely as a result of the parties’ failure to obtain or receive the items set forth on Schedule 11.1(c), this Agreement shall not be terminable pursuant to this Section 11.1 until February 28, 2006;

(d) by Buyer, if a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred since the Balance Sheet Date.

(e) by the Buyer upon a breach in any material respect of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Seller set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Seller shall have been materially breached or shall have been or become materially untrue, in any such case that the conditions set forth in Article 7 would be incapable of being satisfied by January 1, 2006 (or any later date as such date may be otherwise extended by mutual agreement of the parties);

11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, all obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate other than the obligations of a party set forth in Section 11.3 and 12.2 hereof. Termination of this Agreement by a party shall not preclude the terminating party from seeking remedies related to the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement.

(a) It is understood by the parties hereto that the information, documents and instruments delivered to Seller by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer or their agents and the information, documents and instruments delivered to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer or their agents including, without limitation, this Agreement and all documents delivered hereunder, are of a confidential and proprietary nature (“Confidential Information”). Each of the parties hereto agrees that prior to and subsequent to Closing it will maintain the confidentiality of all such Confidential Information delivered to it by each of the other parties hereto or their agents in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or in compliance with the terms, conditions and covenants hereof and only disclose such Confidential Information, documents and instruments to its duly authorized officers, directors, representatives and agents unless (i) compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process (including without limitation in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) or by other requirements of law or (ii) disclosed in an action or proceeding brought by a party hereto in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder; provided, however, that the parties hereto shall not disclose any Confidential Information not required to be disclosed as part of such permitted disclosure. Each of the parties hereto recognizes that any breach of this Section would result in irreparable harm to the other parties to this Agreement and their Affiliates and that therefore either Buyer or Seller shall be entitled to an injunction to prohibit any such breach or anticipated breach, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise, in addition to all of their other legal and equitable remedies.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, either party may issue a press release or other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior approval of the other party, provided, however, that the parties shall give each other a reasonable opportunity to review such communications prior to their dissemination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may issue a press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent required by law, or to comply with accounting or other disclosure obligations.

12.3 Cost of Transaction. Except as otherwise provided herein: (i) Buyer shall pay all costs and premiums associated with the title policy described in Section 2.3 hereof, (ii) Buyer shall pay the fees, expenses and disbursements of Buyer and its agents, representatives, accountants and counsel incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence investigations and the subject matter hereof and any

amendments hereto, (iii) Buyer shall be responsible for paying all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the sale of the Assets and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) Seller shall pay the costs of the Real Property survey, and (v) Seller pay the fees, expenses and disbursements of Seller and its agents, representatives, accountants and counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto.

12.4 Consents, Approvals and Discretion. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, whenever this Agreement requires any consent or approval to be given by either party or either party must or may exercise discretion, the parties agree that such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such discretion shall be reasonably exercised.

12.5 Choice of Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or the interpretation, construction or enforcement of this Agreement to the laws of another jurisdiction. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, FROM WHATEVER SOURCE ARISING, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

12.6 Benefit/Assignment. Subject to provisions herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns and no others; provided, however, that no party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The foregoing notwithstanding, Buyer may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any entity that is controlled by Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be relieved from any liability or obligation hereunder as a result of such assignment.

12.7 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or another provision hereof.

12.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of Buyer or Seller under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms (including duration, area or amount) to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

12.9 Entire Agreement/Amendment. This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements, contracts and understandings and constitutes the entire agreement of whatsoever kind or nature existing between or among the parties in respect of the within subject matter and no party shall be entitled to benefits other than those specified herein. As among the parties, no oral statements or prior written material not specifically incorporated herein shall be of any force and effect. Each party hereto acknowledges that in entering into and executing this Agreement, such party relied solely upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement and no others. All prior

12.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

12.13 Divisions and Headings. The division of this Agreement into sections and subsections and the use of captions and headings in connection therewith are solely for convenience and shall have no legal effect in construing the provisions of this Agreement.

12.14 No Inferences. Inasmuch as this Agreement is the result of negotiations between sophisticated parties of equal bargaining power represented by counsel, no inference in favor of, or against, either party shall be drawn from the fact that any portion of this Agreement has been drafted by or on behalf of such party.
