ARTICLE III: ADJUSTMENTS TO STOCK PORTION OF PURCHASE PRICE
3.1 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AGGREGATE STOCK PORTION OF PURCHASE PRICE.

Article XIV hereof) shall deliver to Allied and IHS a certificate certifying to
be their best good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of working capital (as
defined in Section 3.2 below) of the Companies on a combined basis immediately
prior to the Closing (the "ESTIMATED CLOSING DATE WORKING CAPITAL").
(A) If the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is less
than $625,000 (the "MINIMUM WORKING CAPITAL"), the Aggregate Stock
Portion, and the amount thereof payable to the Companies at Closing,
will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such deficiency,
with such reduction to be made by reducing the number of shares of IHS
Stock, in the proportions set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto (valued
using the Closing Date as the date of determination in accordance with
Section 5.1(a) below), otherwise deliverable to the Companies.
(B) If the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is
greater than the Minimum Working Capital, then the Aggregate Stock
Portion and the amount thereof payable to the Companies at Closing,
will be increased by an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and
IHS shall deliver to the Companies, in the proportions set forth on
Schedule 3.3 hereto, shares of IHS Stock equal in value to such excess
(with such IHS Stock being valued using the Closing Date as the date of
determination in accordance with Section 5.1(a) below).
10
(II) Additionally, at the Closing, the Representatives
shall deliver to Allied and IHS the combined balance sheet of the Companies as
of the point in time immediately prior to the Closing, certified by the
Representatives to be their best good faith estimate of the items thereon (the
"ESTIMATED CLOSING DATE BALANCE SHEET").
(A) If the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet discloses
that the aggregate amount of the long-term liabilities of the Companies
on a combined basis (the "ESTIMATED LONG-TERM LIABILITIES") as
determined in accordance with GAAP exceeds $1,151,000 (the "MAXIMUM
LONG-TERM LIABILITIES"), the Aggregate Stock Portion, and the amount
thereof payable to the Companies at Closing, will be reduced by an
amount equal to the amount of such excess, with such reduction to be
made by reducing the number of shares of IHS Stock, in the proportions
set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto (valued using the Closing Date as the
date of determination in accordance with Section 5.1(a) below),
otherwise deliverable to the Companies.
(B) If the Estimated Long-term Liabilities is less than
the Maximum Long-term Liabilities, then the Aggregate Stock Portion and
the amount thereof payable to the Companies at Closing, will be
increased by an amount equal to the amount of such deficiency, and IHS
shall deliver to the Companies, in the proportions set forth on
Schedule 3.3 hereto, shares of IHS Stock equal in value to such
deficiency (with such IHS Stock being valued using the Closing Date as
the date of determination in accordance with Section 5.1(a) below).
(B) (I) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing
Date, IHS shall complete a review (the "IHS REVIEW") of the combined balance
sheet of the Companies as of the point in time immediately prior to the Closing
and shall deliver a proposed closing date balance sheet (the "PROPOSED CLOSING
DATE BALANCE SHEET") to the Representatives. If IHS shall fail to timely deliver
its Proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Estimated Closing Date Working
Capital and the Estimated Long-term Liabilities delivered by the Representatives
on the Closing Date shall be deemed accepted by IHS and shall be conclusive and
binding on all parties hereto, absent fraud.
(A) If the aggregate amount of working capital of the
Companies on a combined basis as of the Closing Date as shown on the
Proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet (the "PROPOSED WORKING CAPITAL")
was less than the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, then, subject
to Section 3.1(c), the Aggregate Stock Portion shall be deemed to have
been reduced by the amount of such deficiency, and within ten (10)
business days after request from IHS, the Companies shall refund to
IHS, in the proportions set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto, the amount of
such deficiency with such payment to be made in shares of IHS Stock
(valued using the Closing Date as the date of determination in
accordance with Section 5.1(a)).
(B) If the IHS Review reveals that the Proposed Working
Capital was greater than the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital,
then the Aggregate Stock Portion shall be deemed to have been increased
by the amount of such excess, and within ten (10) business days after
delivery of the Proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet to the
Representatives, IHS will deliver to the Companies, in the proportions
set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto, shares of IHS Stock equal in value to
such excess (with such IHS Stock being valued using the Closing Date as
the date of determination in accordance with Section 5.1(a) below).
11
(C) Furthermore, if the aggregate amount of the long-term
liabilities of the Companies on a combined basis as of the Closing Date
as shown on the Proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet (the "PROPOSED
LONG-TERM LIABILITIES") exceeded the Estimated Long- term Liabilities,
then, subject to Section 3.1(c) below, the Aggregate Stock Portion
shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such excess, and
within ten (10) business days after request from IHS, the Companies
shall refund to IHS, in the proportions set forth on Schedule 3.3
hereto, the amount of such reduction, with such payment to be made in
shares of IHS Stock (valued using the Closing Date as the date of
determination in accordance with Section 5.1(a)).
(D) If the IHS Review reveals that the Proposed Long-term
Liabilities was less than the Estimated Long-term Liabilities, then the
Aggregate Stock Portion shall be deemed to have been increased by the
amount of such deficiency, and within ten (10) business days after
delivery of the Proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet to the
Representatives, IHS will deliver to the Companies, in the proportions
set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto, shares of IHS Stock equal in value to
the amount of such deficiency (with such IHS Stock being valued using
the Closing Date as the date of determination in accordance with
Section 5.1(a) below).
(C) If at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Representatives shall in good faith dispute the Proposed Working Capital or
Proposed Long-term Liabilities of the Companies on a combined basis as of the
Closing Date as set forth on the Proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet, they shall
give notice to IHS (a "DELAY PAYMENT NOTICE") within thirty (30) days after
delivery to them of the Proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet setting forth in
reasonable detail their objections and the basis therefor, in which case, the
disputed portion of any payment otherwise required to be made pursuant to
subsection (a) or (b) above shall be delayed, and IHS and the Representatives
shall meet and in good faith attempt to resolve any disagreements within thirty
(30) days after delivery to IHS of the Delay Payment Notice. If the
Representatives shall fail to timely deliver a Delay Payment Notice, the working
capital and long-term liabilities amounts set forth in the Proposed Closing Date
Balance Sheet shall be deemed accepted by the Companies and shall be conclusive
and binding on all parties hereto, absent fraud. If a Delay Payment Notice is
timely delivered and the parties are unable to resolve such disagreements within
such time period, the disagreements shall be referred to Ernst & Young LLP (the
"ARBITRATING ACCOUNTANTS"), and the determination of the Arbitrating Accountants
shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The Arbitrating
Accountants shall be directed to use their best efforts to reach a determination
not more than thirty (30) days after such referral. The costs and expenses of
the services of the Arbitrating Accountants shall be borne by the party against
whom the Arbitrating Accountants shall rule; provided that if the Arbitrating
Accountants shall not rule against any party, then such costs and expenses shall
be borne equally by the Companies, on the one hand, and IHS, on the other hand.
On the third business day following the final resolution of any matter covered
by a Delay Payment Notice, the Companies shall, if applicable, pay to IHS any
delayed payment to the extent determined to be due to IHS in accordance with
such resolution, with such payment to be made in shares of IHS Stock, in the
proportions set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto (valued using the Closing Date as
the date of determination in accordance with Section 5.1(a)).
3.2 DEFINITION OF WORKING CAPITAL. For the purposes of this
Article III, "WORKING CAPITAL" means the excess of current assets over current
liabilities, as determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that all
inter-company receivables and payables among the Companies and the Lithotripsy
Practice, all investments by any of the Companies in any of the other Companies,
and all other inter-company assets and liabilities among the Companies and the
Lithotripsy Practice shall be excluded, and "LONG-TERM LIABILITY" means any
liability that would be set forth as a long-term liability on a balance sheet in
accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any Taxes (as such term is hereinafter defined in Article XV) arising
out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without
limitation, any "built-in" gains Taxes, shall be paid by the Companies, shall be
Excluded Liabilities, and shall not be included as Current Liabilities in the
computation of Proposed Working Capital.
12
3.3 ALLOCATION AMONG THE COMPANIES.
(A) The Companies may agree among themselves in a separate
agreement as to the allocation of any cash amounts that may be receivable by
them or any shares of IHS Stock that may be deliverable to them or by them
pursuant to Article V hereof, and IHS agrees to make any deliveries, pursuant to
this Article III or Article V, in accordance with the written instructions
executed by not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Representatives. In
the absence of any such written instructions, IHS shall be permitted to rely for
all purposes on the allocations set forth in Schedule 3.3 hereto, and any
written instructions delivered under this Section 3.3(a) shall expressly state
that such instructions supersede any prior written instructions as to
allocations, including Schedule 3.3.
(B) With respect to any refund of shares of IHS Stock due
to IHS pursuant to this Article III or Article V hereof, IHS shall use its
reasonable efforts to collect said shares from the Companies in the proportions
set forth in Schedule 3.3, or otherwise in accordance with written instructions
(expressly stating that they supersede all prior written instructions as to
allocations, including Schedule 3.3) executed by not less than seventy-five
percent (75%) of the Representatives; provided however, that if at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the Representatives do not notify IHS in writing
prior to the date such refund is due to IHS, or if after receiving such notice
IHS is unable to so collect such IHS Stock when same is due in accordance with
the instructions of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Representatives,
or, if in the absence of any such notice, IHS is unable to collect such IHS
Stock when same is due in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule
3.3, then IHS shall be entitled to collect the cash value of such IHS Stock
(valued in accordance with the provision under which such IHS Stock was to be
returned) from the Companies (and the Companies' Existing Equity Holders
pursuant to their Representation and Indemnification Agreements) jointly and
severally; provided further that any amount due to IHS pursuant to this Article
III or pursuant to Article V that is not paid when due shall accrue interest at
the rate per anum equal to ten percent (10%) and IHS shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Companies (and the Companies' Existing Equity Holders
pursuant to their Representation and Indemnification Agreements) jointly and
severally from all costs and expenses of the collection of all amounts due to it
without regard to any limitations set forth in Section 12.5(c) below or
otherwise.
ARTICLE IV: ASSUMED CONTRACTS
4.1 ASSUMED CONTRACTS. Set forth on Schedule 4.1A, is a list of the
agreements, contracts, instruments and commitments, if any, of each of the
Companies, that Allied shall not assume as of the Closing ("DESIGNATED
CONTRACTS"). Each agreement, contract, instrument and commitment of each Company
that is disclosed by it pursuant to Section 7.x.7 of its respective
Representation and Warranty Exhibit and that is not a Designated Contract shall
be deemed to be a "DOWNSTATE ASSUMED CONTRACT", a "METRO/LITHO ASSUMED
CONTRACT", a "LONG ISLAND ASSUMED CONTRACT", or a "LITHO CORP ASSUMED CONTRACT",
as the case may be. Collectively, the Downstate Assumed Contracts, the
Metro/Litho Assumed Contracts, the Long Island Assumed Contracts, and the Litho
Corp Assumed Contracts are referred to as the "ASSUMED CONTRACTS". If any
Company shall enter into any agreement, contract, instrument or commitment after
the date hereof and prior to Closing, or if there shall be disclosed any
agreement, contract, instrument or commitment that should have been disclosed on
any Schedule 7.x.7 to any Representation and Warranty Exhibit, but that was not
so disclosed, then IHS shall have five (5) business days to notify the
applicable Representative as to whether such agreement, contract, instrument or
commitment shall be an Assumed Contract. If IHS fails to so notify such
Representative, then such agreement, contract, instrument or commitment shall be
deemed to be a Designated Contract. It shall be a condition of IHS and Allied to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "TRANSACTION")
that all consents required
13
to transfer the material Assumed Contracts shall have been obtained. It also
shall be a condition to the obligation of IHS to close the Transaction that IHS
shall be reasonably satisfied that no material agreements, contracts,
instruments and commitments of the Lithotripsy Practice (including, without
limitation, contracts to provide Services) will be terminated by reason of the
Transaction. It also shall be a condition of IHS to Closing that the agreements,
contracts, instruments and commitments, if any, of the Lithotripsy Practice set
forth on Schedule 4.1-B shall have been terminated.
ARTICLE V: IHS STOCK
5.1 IHS STOCK. The Aggregate Stock Portion shall be payable by means of
the delivery of IHS Stock in accordance with the following:
(A) SHARE VALUE. The number of shares of IHS Stock issuable at Closing
shall be calculated based upon a price per share of such stock equal to the
average closing NYSE price of such stock for the thirty (30) trading day period
immediately preceding the date which is two (2) trading days before the Closing
Date (the "CLOSING DATE PRICE PER SHARE").
(B) REGISTRATION RIGHTS. IHS will use its best efforts to cause to be
prepared, filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "COMMISSION") within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, a
registration statement (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") for the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT") of the IHS Stock
issued pursuant to this Agreement, and IHS shall maintain the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement for a period of one (1) year following the date on
which such Registration Statement becomes effective (the "REGISTRATION DATE"),
or until the Companies (and their respective partners, members or shareholders,
as distributees of such IHS Stock), shall not own any of the IHS Stock issued
pursuant to this Agreement, whichever shall occur first.
(C) REGISTRATION DATE SHARE ADJUSTMENT. If the average closing NYSE
price per share of IHS Stock for the 30-day trading period immediately preceding
the Registration Date (the "REGISTRATION DATE PRICE PER SHARE") is above or
below the Closing Date Price Per Share, then the number of shares of IHS Stock
issued by IHS as the Aggregate Stock Portion (as adjusted under Section 3.1)
shall be recalculated based upon the Registration Date Price Per Share, and the
following shall apply:
(I) If the number of shares of IHS Stock as recalculated under this
Section 5.1 (c) exceeds the number of shares of IHS Stock issued by IHS as the
Aggregate Stock Portion (as adjusted under Section 3.1), then IHS promptly shall
deliver to the Companies (in the proportions set forth in Schedule 3.3 hereto)
an additional number of shares of IHS Stock as shall be equal to the amount of
such excess, and such additional shares shall be included in the Registration
Statement by means of a post-effective amendment thereto.
(II) If the number of shares of IHS Stock issued by IHS as the
Aggregate Stock Portion (as adjusted under Section 3.1) exceeds the number of
shares of IHS Stock as recalculated under this Section 5.1(c), then the
Companies shall promptly return to IHS that number of shares of IHS Stock as
shall be equal to one-half (1/2) of such excess.
(D) POST-REGISTRATION DATE SHARE ADJUSTMENT. If as of the close of
trading on the NYSE on the date which is the fifteenth (15th) consecutive
trading day from (and including) the Registration Date (the "FINAL ADJUSTMENT
DATE"), the difference between (i) the average sale price per share of all IHS
Stock theretofore issued pursuant to this Agreement and sold during the period
from the
14
Registration Date to the Final Adjustment Date under the Registration Statement
in bona fide sales to third parties that are not affiliates and otherwise in
accordance with the provisions of this Article V (such shares are the "DISPOSED
SHARES"), and (ii) the average per share cost of the brokerage commissions and
expenses paid by them to the Broker (defined below) in connection with such
sales of the Disposed Shares (the difference between (i) and (ii) is the "FINAL
ADJUSTMENT DATE PRICE PER SHARE") is below the lower of (x) the Closing Date
Price Per Share, and (y) the Registration Date Price Per Share, then IHS
promptly shall issue to the Companies (in the proportions set forth in writing
by at least seventy-five (75%) percent of the Representatives pursuant to
Section 3.3 (b) hereof) an additional number of shares of IHS Stock as shall be
equal in value to the product of (A) the difference between (1) the lower of (p)
the Closing Date Price Per Share, and (q) the Registration Date Price Per Share,
and (2) the Final Adjustment Date Price Per Share, multiplied by (B) the number
of Disposed Shares, and such additional shares of IHS Stock shall be included in
the Registration Statement by means of a post-effective amendment thereto.
Shares of IHS Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 5.1 (d) shall be
calculated based upon a price per share of such stock equal to the average
closing NYSE price of such stock for the thirty (30) trading day period
immediately preceding the Final Adjustment Date.
(E) DELAYED REGISTRATION ADJUSTMENT. If the Registration Statement is
not filed and declared effective by the Commission within one-hundred twenty
(120) days following the Closing Date (the "REGISTRATION DEADLINE DATE"), then
interest shall be deemed to accrue on the value of the Aggregate Stock Portion
(as adjusted under Section 3.1) from the period beginning with the Registration
Deadline Date and ending on the Registration Date (the "INTEREST PERIOD") at the
rate of ten (10%) percent per annum for the first thirty (30) days of the
Interest Period, eleven (11%) percent per annum for the second thirty (30) days
of the Interest Period and twelve (12%) percent per annum for the remainder of
the Interest Period, and IHS shall pay to the Companies in cash (in the
proportions set forth in Schedule 3.3 hereto), not later than the fifth day of
each month during the Interest Period, the aggregate amount of accrued and
unpaid interest under this Section 5.1(e) through the last day of the
immediately preceding month of the Interest Period.
(F) REGISTRATION EXPENSES. The Companies, and their respective
partners, members and shareholders ("PARTICIPANTS") shall not be responsible
for, and IHS shall bear, all of IHS's expenses related to the registration
referred to herein, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its
counsel and accountants, all of its other costs, fees and expenses incident to
the preparation, printing, registration and filing under the Securities Act of
the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, the cost
of furnishing copies of each preliminary prospectus, each final prospectus and
each amendment or supplement thereto to underwriters, dealers and other
purchasers of IHS Stock and the costs and expenses (including fees and
disbursements of its counsel) incurred in connection with the qualification of
the Companies' IHS Stock under the Blue Sky laws of various jurisdictions.
Except to the extent accounted for in the post-registration date share
adjustment under Section 5.1(d) above, IHS shall not pay any brokerage
discounts, commissions or expenses, or pay any costs and expenses arising out of
the Companies' or any transferee's failure to comply with its obligations under
this Article V.
(G) RESALE LIMITATIONS. All resales of IHS Stock issued pursuant to
this Agreement shall be effected solely through Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc. ("BROKER"),
and resales by the Companies and the Participants shall not at any time, in the
aggregate, exceed (i) Thirty-Five Thousand (35,000) shares per day for each of
the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days commencing with the Registration Date,
and (ii) Seventy-Five Thousand (75,000) shares during any thirty (30) day period

15
(H) REGISTRATION PROCEDURES, ETC. In connection with the registration
rights granted to the Companies with respect to the IHS Stock as provided in
this Section 5.1, IHS covenants and agrees as follows:
(I) At IHS's expense, IHS will keep the registration and
qualification under this Section 5.1 effective (and in compliance with the
Securities Act) by such action as may be necessary or appropriate for a period
of one (1) year following the Registration Date, or until the Companies and the
Participants shall not own any of the IHS Stock issued pursuant to this
Agreement, whichever shall occur first. IHS will promptly notify the Companies
and the Representatives, at any time when a prospectus relating to a
registration statement under this Section 5.1 is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, of the happening of any event known to IHS as a result of
which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.
(II) IHS shall furnish the Companies with such number of
prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested.
(III) IHS shall take all necessary action which may be
required in qualifying or registering IHS Stock included in a registration
statement for offering and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
states as reasonably are requested by the Companies, provided that IHS shall not
be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer to do business under
the laws of any such jurisdiction.
(IV) The information included or incorporated by reference
in the registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 5.1 will not, at
the time any such registration statement becomes effective, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein as necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or necessary to
correct any statement in any earlier filing of such registration statement or
any amendments thereto. The registration statement will comply in all material
respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. IHS shall indemnify the holders of IHS Stock to be sold pursuant to
the registration statement, their successors and assigns, and each person, if
any, who controls such holders within the meaning of ss.15 of the Securities Act
or ss.20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("EXCHANGE ACT"), against all
loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever)
to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or any other statute, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such registration statement executed by IHS or based upon written information
furnished by IHS filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify IHS Stock under
the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, any state securities
commission or agency, NYSE or any securities exchange; or the omission or
alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, unless such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to IHS by the Companies for use in such registration
statement (it being understood that IHS may rely on the representations and
warranties of the Companies made pursuant to this Agreement in preparing such
Registration Statement), any amendment or supplement thereto or any application,
as the case may be. If any action is brought against the Companies or any
controlling person of the Companies in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against IHS pursuant to this subsection 5.1(h)(iv), the Companies or such
controlling person shall within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereby of a
summons or complaint, notify
16
IHS in writing of the institution of such action and IHS shall assume the
defense of such actions, including the employment and payment of reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Companies or such
controlling person). The Companies or such controlling person shall have the
right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Companies or such
controlling person unless (A) the employment of such counsel shall have been
authorized in writing by IHS in connection with the defense of such action, or
(B) IHS shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such
action, or (C) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or
additional to those available to IHS (in which case, IHS shall not have the
right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or
parties), in any of which events the fees and expenses of not more than one
additional firm of attorneys for the Companies and/or such controlling person
shall be borne by IHS. Except as expressly provided in the previous sentence, in
the event that IHS shall not previously have assumed the defenses of any such
action or claim, IHS shall not thereafter be liable to the Companies or such
controlling person in investigating, preparing or defending any such action or
claim.
(V) The holders of IHS Stock to be sold pursuant to a
registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and
not jointly, indemnify IHS, its officers and directors and each person, if any,
who controls IHS within the meaning of ss.15 of the Securities Act or ss.20(a)
of the Exchange Act against all loss, claim, damage, or expense or liability
(including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other statute, common law or
otherwise, arising from information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such
holders, or their successors or assigns, for specific inclusion in such
registration statement.
(I) NOTICE OF SALE. If any Company desires to transfer all or any
portion of the IHS Stock, such party shall deliver written notice to IHS
describing in reasonable detail its intention to effect the transfer and the
manner of the proposed transfer. If the transfer is to be pursuant to an
effective registration statement as provided herein, such party shall sell the
IHS Stock in compliance with the disclosure therein and discontinue any offers
and sales thereunder upon notice from IHS that the registration statement
relating to the IHS Stock being transferred is not "current" until IHS gives
further notice that offers and sales may be recommenced. In the event of any
such notice from IHS, IHS agrees to file expeditiously such amendments to the
registration statement as may be necessary to bring it current during the period
specified in Section 5.1(b) and to give prompt notice to the Companies and to
the Representatives when the registration statement has again become current. If
any Company desires to transfer any IHS Stock without use of the registration
statement, it shall deliver to IHS an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable
to IHS and its counsel to the effect that the proposed transfer of IHS Stock may
be made without registration under the Securities Act, and, in such event, such
party will be entitled to transfer IHS Stock in accordance with the terms of the
notice and opinion of his counsel.
(J) FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of IHS to take any action pursuant to this Article V that the
Companies shall furnish to IHS in writing such information regarding themselves
and the IHS Stock held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such
securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the IHS Stock. In
that connection, the Companies shall be required to represent to IHS that all
such information which is given is both complete and accurate in all material
respects. The Companies shall deliver to IHS a statement in writing from the
beneficial owner of such securities that they bona fide intend to sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of such securities. The Companies will promptly notify IHS
at any time when a prospectus relating to a registration statement covering
their respective shares under this Section 5.1 is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, or the happening of any event known to them as a result of
which the prospectus included
17
in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the statements as then existing.
(K) INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. All shares of IHS Stock to
be issued hereunder will be newly issued shares of IHS. The Companies represent
and warrant to IHS that the IHS Stock being issued hereunder is being acquired,
and will be acquired, by the Companies for investment for their own account and
not with a view to or for sale in connection with any unlawful distribution
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or the applicable state
securities law; the Companies acknowledge that the IHS Stock constitutes
restricted securities under Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act, and may have to be held indefinitely, and the Companies
agree that no shares of IHS Stock may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or
otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or
an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder, and under all applicable state securities laws. The
Companies represent and warrant that they have the knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters, are capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of the investment, and are able to bear the economic risk of such investment.
The Companies have had the opportunity to make inquiries of and obtain from
representatives and employees of IHS such other information about IHS as they
deem necessary in connection with such investment.
(L) LEGEND. It is understood that, prior to sale of any
shares of IHS Stock pursuant to an effective registration pursuant to subsection
(b) above, the certificates evidencing such shares of IHS Stock shall bear the
following (or a similar) legend (in addition to any legends which may be
required in the opinion of IHS's counsel by the applicable securities laws of
any state), and upon sale of such shares pursuant to such an effective
registration, new certificates shall be issued for the shares sold without such
legends except as otherwise required by law:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE
SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT
BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THESE SHARES

COMPANY'S COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT.
(M) CERTAIN TRANSFEREES. Prior to the effective date of

statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the rules
and regulations thereunder, and under all applicable state securities laws.

shall exceed $10,000, in which case they, Allied or IHS, as the case may be,
shall be liable for the entire amount of such indemnification liabilities.
(F) RIGHT AND OBLIGATION TO PROCEED AGAINST AMOUNTS DUE TO THE
COMPANIES, AND THE EXISTING EQUITY HOLDERS. Each of the Companies hereby
irrevocably grants, and each of the Existing Equity Holders shall, pursuant to
their respective Representation and Indemnity Agreements, irrevocably grant to
each IHS/Allied Indemnitee the right to collect any amounts that it, he or she
may owe to such IHS/Allied Indemnitee by reason of indemnification rights under
this Agreement or any Representation and Indemnity Agreement by taking an
assignment of any amount that shall then or thereafter become due to it, him or
her by Allied. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Companies hereby
irrevocably authorizes and instructs Allied, and each of the Existing Equity
Holders shall, pursuant to their respective Representation and Indemnity
Agreements, irrevocably authorize and instruct Allied, to pay (out of any
amounts that shall then be due by Allied to such indemnifying party) to any
IHS/Allied Indemnitee, upon receipt of a written demand from such IHS/Allied
Indemnitee (with copies thereof delivered to the Representatives) any amount
that such IHS/Allied Indemnitee claims pursuant to the indemnification
provisions of this Agreement or any Representation and Indemnity Agreement.
Allied shall be required to make such payment to such IHS/Allied Indemnitee (to
the extent of any amounts that shall then be due to such indemnifying party by
Allied), provided, however, that if the indemnifying party so requests, Allied
shall deposit (out of any amounts that shall then be due by Allied to such
indemnifying party) in an escrow account with Crestar Bank (to be held in escrow
pending joint written delivery instructions from the indemnifying party and the
applicable IHS/Allied Indemnitee, or an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction) any amount that such IHS/Allied Indemnitee claims pursuant to the
indemnification provisions of this Agreement or any Representation and
Indemnification Agreement. If there shall be a Closing, each IHS/Allied
Indemnitee shall be required to proceed to collect any amounts that it claims
pursuant to its, his or her indemnification rights under this Agreement or any
Representation and Indemnity Agreement to the extent of any amounts that shall
then be due by Allied to the applicable indemnifying party prior to proceeding
directly against such indemnifying party.
12.6 CONTROL OF DEFENSE OF INDEMNIFIABLE CLAIMS.
(A) IHS/ALLIED INDEMNITEE CLAIMS. IHS shall be entitled to control
any indemnification claims and rights of Allied. IHS shall give the applicable
Representative (or, in case of a claim involving the Lithotripsy Practice, to
all of the Representatives) prompt written notice of each claim for which any
IHS/Allied Indemnitee seeks indemnification. Failure to give such prompt written
notice shall not relieve any party of its, his or her respective indemnification
obligation (each, an "INDEMNIFYING PARTY"), provided that such indemnification
obligations shall be reduced by any damages that the applicable Indemnifying
Party demonstrates that it, he or she has suffered resulting from a failure to
give prompt notice hereunder. Any Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such claim; however, unless an applicable
Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing that the claim is fully indemnifiable
by it, him, or her under this Agreement (without any limitations imposed
pursuant to Section 12.5 (c) above), and, if requested by IHS, posts adequate
bond or security, IHS shall be entitled to control the defense of such claim at
the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties. If any Indemnifying Party does
acknowledge in writing that the claim is fully indemnifiable by it, him, or her
under this Agreement (without any limitations imposed pursuant to Section
12.5(c) above), and, if requested by IHS, posts adequate bond or security, then
such Indemnifying Party (together with any other Indemnifying Party that is so
qualified) may assume
32
control of the defense of any such claim, and IHS shall not settle such claim
without the consent of the Representative for such Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Nothing
contained in this Section 12.6 shall prevent either party from assuming control
of the defense and/or settling any claim against it for which indemnification is
not sought under this Agreement.
(B) COMPANY CLAIMS. Any Company seeking indemnification from IHS
pursuant to this Agreement shall give IHS prompt written notice of each claim
for which such indemnification is sought. Failure to give such prompt written
notice shall not relieve IHS of its indemnification obligation, provided that
such indemnification obligation shall be reduced by any damages that IHS
demonstrates it has suffered resulting from a failure to give prompt notice
hereunder. IHS shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such
claim; however, unless IHS acknowledges in writing that the claim is fully
indemnifiable by it under this Agreement (without any limitations imposed
pursuant to Section 12.5(c) above), and, if requested by such indemnified party,
posts adequate bond or security, such indemnified party shall be entitled to
control the defense of such claim at the cost and expense of IHS. If IHS does
acknowledge in writing that the claim is fully indemnifiable by it under this
Agreement (without any limitations imposed pursuant to Section 12.5(c) above),
and, if requested by the indemnified party, posts adequate bond or security,
then IHS may assume control of the defense of any such claim, and the
indemnified party shall not settle such claim without the consent of IHS, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Nothing
contained in this Section 12.6 shall prevent either party from assuming total
control of the defense and/or settling any claim against it for which
indemnification is not sought under this Agreement.
12.7 AGREEMENT REGARDING CERTAIN UROLOGISTS. After the
Closing, the Companies shall in good faith use their reasonable best efforts to
cause Drs. Lui, Peng, Salant, Xxxx and Xxxxx to become members of Allied,
pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII: TERMINATION
13.1 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated at any time at
or prior to the time of Closing by:
(A) IHS, if any condition precedent to the obligations of IHS
under this Agreement, including without limitation, those conditions set forth
in Section 2.5(a), Section 4.1 or Article X hereof, have not been satisfied by
the date scheduled for the Closing, as the same may be extended pursuant to
Section 6.1(b), or pursuant to Section 14.1 if any material portion of the
Downstate Assets, the Long Island Assets, the Metro/Litho Assets or the Litho
Corp Assets is damaged or destroyed as a result of fire, other casualty or from
any reason whatsoever, or otherwise as expressly provided in this Agreement;
(B) any Representative, if any condition precedent to the
obligations of any party for whom it is acting as the Representative hereunder,
including without limitation those conditions set forth in Article XI hereof,
have not been satisfied by the date scheduled for the Closing, as the same may
be extended pursuant to Section 6.1(b), or otherwise as expressly provided in
this Agreement;
(C) the mutual consent of IHS and each Representative.
33
13.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If a party terminates this Agreement
because one of its conditions precedent has not been fulfilled, or if this
Agreement is terminated by mutual consent, this Agreement shall become null and
void without any liability of any party to the other; provided, however, that if
such termination is by reason of the breach by any party of any of its
representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement, the other party
shall be entitled to be indemnified for any Losses incurred by it by reason
thereof in accordance with Section 12.2 or 12.3, as the case may be, hereof (and
for such purposes such Section 12.2 or 12.3, as the case may be, shall survive
the termination of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any
time on or prior to the Closing, (i) IHS shall determine that the certificate
contemplated in Section 11.3 hereof as it relates to the condition set forth at
Section 11.1 hereof cannot be delivered at Closing, or (ii) any Company shall
determine that the certificate contemplated in Section 10.3 hereof as it relates
to the condition set forth at Section 10.1(a) hereof cannot be delivered at
Closing, in either case as the result of events occurring or circumstances
arising after the date hereof, which events or circumstances have not occurred
or arisen as a result of any act or omission in violation of such party's
obligations hereunder, then the party whose condition has not been fulfilled
shall have the right to waive such condition and proceed with the Closing or
terminate this Agreement, without any liability of any party to the other.
Nothing in this Section 13.2 shall affect the right of any party to seek
specific performance of the obligations of any other parties at Closing
hereunder.
ARTICLE XIV: CASUALTY, RISK OF LOSS
14.1 CASUALTY, RISK OF LOSS. The Companies shall bear the risk of
all loss or damage to any of the Aggregate Assets from all causes which occur
prior to the Closing. If at any time prior to the Closing any material portion
of the Aggregate Assets is damaged or destroyed as a result of fire, other
casualty or for any reason whatsoever, the applicable Representative shall
immediately give notice thereof to IHS. IHS shall have the right, in its sole
and absolute discretion, within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, to (1)
elect not to proceed with the Closing and terminate this Agreement, or (2)
proceed to Closing and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
receive any and all insurance proceeds received or receivable by the applicable
Company on account of any such casualty (and such insurance proceeds shall not
be included as current assets for purposes of determining Proposed Closing Date
Working Capital).

AMENDMENT AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT made this 4th day of May, 1998, by and among Allied

Delaware ("Allied"), Integrated Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("IHS"), Downstate Lithotripter LLC, a limited liability company formed under
the laws of New York ("Downstate"), Metro/Litho L.P., a limited partnership
formed under the laws of New York ("Metro/Litho"), Long Island Lithotripter,
LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of New York ("Long
Island") and Lithotripter Corporation, a New York corporation ("Litho Corp", and
together with Downstate, Metro/Litho and Long Island, the "Companies").
WHEREAS, Allied, IHS and the Companies have entered into a Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 7, 1998 (the "Purchase
Agreement") and desire to amend Section 5.1(d) thereof.
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Amendment Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:
1. Section 5.1(d) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
"(D) POST-REGISTRATION DATE SHARE ADJUSTMENT. If as of the close of
trading on the NYSE on the date which is the fifteenth (15th)
consecutive trading day from (and including) the Registration Date (the
"FINAL ADJUSTMENT DATE"), the difference between (i) the average sale
price per share of all IHS Stock theretofore issued pursuant to this
Agreement and sold during the period from the Registration Date to the
Final Adjustment Date under the Registration Statement in bona fide
sales to third parties that are not affiliates and otherwise in
accordance with the provisions of this Article V (such shares are the
"DISPOSED SHARES"), and (ii) the average per share cost of the
brokerage commissions and expenses paid by them to the Broker (defined
below) in connection with such sales of the Disposed Shares (the
difference between (i) and (ii) is the "FINAL ADJUSTMENT DATE PRICE PER
SHARE") is below the lower of (x) the Closing Date Price Per Share, and
(y) the Registration Date Price Per Share, then IHS promptly shall
issue to the Companies (in the proportions set forth in writing by at
least seventy-five (75%) percent of the Representatives pursuant to
Section 3.3 (b) hereof) an additional number of shares of IHS Stock as
shall be equal in value to the product of (A) the difference between
(1) the lower of (p) the Closing Date Price Per Share, and (q) the
Registration Date Price Per Share, and (2) the Final Adjustment Date
Price Per Share, multiplied by (B) the number of Disposed Shares
(such product of (A) multiplied by (B) is the "FINAL ADJUSTMENT
AMOUNT") . IHS will use its best efforts to cause to be prepared, filed
and declared effective by the Commission within sixty (60) days
following the Final Adjustment Date, a registration statement for the
registration under the Securities Act of the IHS Stock issued pursuant
to this Section 5.1(d), and IHS shall maintain the effectiveness of
such registration statement for a period of one (1) year following the
date on which such registration statement becomes effective (the
"SECOND EFFECTIVE DATE"), or until the Companies (and their respective
partners, members or shareholders, as distributees of such IHS Stock),
shall not own any of the IHS Stock issued pursuant to this Section
5.1(d), whichever shall occur first. The number of shares of IHS Stock
issuable pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) shall be calculated based upon
a price per share of such stock equal to the average closing NYSE price
of such stock for the thirty (30) trading day period immediately
preceding the Final Adjustment Date; provided, however, that (x) if the
number of shares of IHS Stock issued pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) is
less than the number of shares of IHS Stock that would have been
issuable had such IHS stock been valued based upon a price per share of
such stock equal to the average closing NYSE price of such stock for
the thirty (30) trading day period immediately preceding the date which
is two trading days before the Second Effective Date, then IHS promptly
shall deliver to the Companies (in the proportions set forth in writing
by at least seventy-five (75%) percent of the Representatives pursuant
to Section 3.3 (b) hereof) an additional number of shares of IHS Stock
as shall be equal to the amount of such difference, and such additional
shares shall be included in the aforementioned registration statement
by means of a pre-effective amendment thereto, and (y) if the number of
shares of IHS Stock issued pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) exceeds the
number of shares of IHS Stock that would have been issuable had such
IHS stock been valued based upon a price per share of such stock equal
to the average closing NYSE price of such stock for the thirty (30)
trading day period immediately preceding the date which is two trading
days before the Second Effective Date, then the Companies promptly
shall return to IHS that number of shares of IHS Stock as shall be
equal to such excess. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Section 5.1(d), IHS shall have the right, exercisable in
its sole discretion, to pay to the Companies (in the proportions set
forth in writing by at least seventy-five (75%) percent of the
Representatives pursuant to Section 3.3 (b) hereof), in lieu of IHS
Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to this Section 5.1(d), cash in
amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount."
