The Accounting Firm shall review the matters in dispute and, acting as arbitrators, shall promptly decide the proper amounts of such disputed entries (which decision shall also include a final calculation of Contribution to EBITDA). The submission of the disputed matter to the Accounting Firm shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving disputes relative to the determination of Contribution to EBITDA. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be binding upon the Shareholders and Purchaser. The Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be borne equally by the Shareholders and Purchaser.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 7

Shares held by each Shareholder in an amount equal to $800,000.00 subject, however, to the following adjustments:

(i) In the event that the Contribution to EBITDA for the 12-month period commencing after the first 12-month period referenced in Section 1.9(a) above is less than $390,000.00 (the “Year 2 Additional Contract Contribution Target”) then Variable Payment D shall be decreased by six times (6x) the amount that the actual Contribution to EBITDA for such 12-month period is less than the Year 2 Additional Contract Contribution Target; or

(c) Neither Variable Payment C nor Variable Payment D will be due or be paid by Purchaser to the Shareholders unless the Company shall have executed and commenced services under either the Camden Clark Memorial Hospital Management Agreement or some other management agreement of similar form and structure and having a term of not less than five (5) years (the “Additional Contract”) on or prior to March 31, 2006, in a form reasonable and acceptable to Purchaser. No Variable Payment C or Variable Payment D shall be due if the Additional Contract is not signed and commenced on or before March 31, 2006.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 1.9, the term “Contribution to EBITDA” shall mean the operating margin earned by the Company on the Additional Contract for the applicable period, all as determined by Purchaser in accordance with Company Historical GAAP. The principles and methodologies for determining the Contribution to EBITDA and other terms and conditions relating to the payment of Variable Payments hereunder shall be as specified in Schedule 1.8.

(e) Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholders its determination of the applicable Contribution to EBITDA with each Variable Payment. The Shareholders may dispute such determination and have such determination finally resolved in the same manner and within the same time periods as are applicable under Section 1.8(e).

Except as set forth below, in the event an accounting principle, including the methods and practices as historically applied by the Company is not in accordance with GAAP, it shall not constitute Company Historical GAAP for any purpose under this Agreement and shall not be followed in the determination of Net Assets under this Section 1.10 or the determination of EBITDA of the Company under Sections 1.8 or 1.9 hereof. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, the Parties understand and agree that the Company’s historical practice of not recording accrued employee paid time off liability,

including the accrued paid time off liability listed in Schedule 2.5(a) relating to certain of the Company’s employees, is not in accordance with GAAP, and that such accrued paid time off liability shall nevertheless be taken into account for all purposes under this Agreement, including in connection with the determination of the Net Assets of the Company under this Section 1.10.

(b) At least ten (10) business days prior to the Closing, the Shareholders shall in good faith deliver to Purchaser a reasonable estimate of Net Assets as of the end of the most recently ended calendar month prior to the Closing Date for which financial statements are available (“Estimated Net Assets”) and containing reasonable detail and supporting documents showing the derivation of such estimate. The “Net Assets Payment” shall equal the difference between the Estimated Net Assets and $0.00. If Estimated Net Assets exceeds $0.00, the Net Assets Payment shall be added to the Closing Purchase Price Payment. If Estimated Net Assets is less than $0.00, the Closing Purchase Price Payment shall be reduced by the amount of the Net Assets Payment. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholders its determination of the Net Assets as of the Effective Time. Each Party shall have full access to the financial books and records pertaining to the Company to confirm or audit Net Assets computations. Should the Shareholders disagree with Purchaser’s determination of Net Assets, the Shareholders shall notify Purchaser in writing within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser’s delivery of its determination of Net Assets and state the basis for their disagreement. If the Shareholders and Purchaser fail to agree within thirty (30) days after the Shareholders’ delivery of notice of disagreement on the amount of Net Assets, such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.10(c), which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for resolving disputes relative to the determination of Net Assets. The Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased based on the difference between the actual Net Assets as of the Effective Time and the Estimated Net Assets calculated at the Closing and, within five (5) business days after determination thereof, any excess of actual Net Assets over Estimated Net Assets shall be paid in cash to the Shareholders, and any deficiency in actual Net Assets versus Estimated Net Assets shall be paid in cash to Purchaser pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, in either case without interest on such amount.

(c) Dispute of Adjustments. In the event that the Shareholders and Purchaser are not able to agree on the actual Net Assets within thirty (30) days after the Shareholders’ delivery of notice of disagreement in accordance with Section 1.10(b) hereof, the Shareholders and Purchaser shall each have the right to require that such disputed determination be submitted to the Accounting Firm for computation or verification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall review the matters in dispute and, acting as arbitrators, shall promptly decide the proper amounts of such disputed entries (which decision shall also include a final calculation of Net Assets). The submission of the disputed matter to the Accounting Firm shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving disputes relative to the determination of Net Assets. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be binding upon the Shareholders and Purchaser. The Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be borne equally by the Shareholders and Purchaser.

After the expiration of the Document Retention Period, if Purchaser intends to destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the documents described in this Section 9.1(a), Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Shareholders of Purchaser’s intention no later than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the date of such intended destruction or disposal. The Shareholders shall have the right, at their sole cost, to take possession of such documents during such ninety (90) calendar day period. If the Shareholders do not take possession of such documents during such ninety (90) calendar day period, Purchaser shall be free to destroy or otherwise dispose of such documentation upon the expiration of such ninety (90) calendar day period.

(b) Purchaser and its representatives shall be given access by the Shareholders during normal business hours to the extent reasonably needed by Purchaser for business purposes to all documents, records, correspondence, work papers and other documents retained by the Shareholders pertaining to any of the Shares or with respect to the operation of the Company prior to the Effective Time.

9.2 Provision of Benefits of Certain Contracts. If, as of the Effective Time, the Shareholders have not obtained a required consent to the assignment or transfer of a Contract to Purchaser or Purchaser is unable to enter into a new third party contract with respect to such Contract, until such consent is obtained or a new third party contract is obtained, the Shareholders shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide Purchaser the benefits of such Contract and cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Purchaser. Purchaser shall use reasonable commercial efforts to perform, on behalf of

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 31

the Company, the obligations of the Company under such Contract or in connection therewith, limited to those obligations of the Company thereunder, but only to the extent that such action would not result in a material default under the applicable Contract and such obligation would have been an obligation of Purchaser had it received consent to the assignment of such Contract or had entered into a new third party contract on substantially similar terms as the applicable Contract.

9.3 Employee Matters. As of the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate all of its employees, and, as of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause the Company to offer employment to certain employees of the Company on mutually agreeable terms. The term “Hired Employee” as used in this Agreement shall mean all employees of the Company who accept employment with the Company as of the Effective Time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect or limit in any way normal management prerogatives of Purchaser with respect to employees or to create or grant to any such employees third party beneficiary rights or claims of any kind or nature. In respect of the Hired Employees employed by the Company after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall provide such Hired Employees with employee benefits consistent with the benefits generally offered to similarly situated employees of Purchaser’s parent corporation, Horizon Health Corporation, and, to the extent such benefits are based, in whole or in part, on service with such employer, the Purchaser shall recognize the existing seniority and service with Seller of all such employees for benefits purposes and shall provide credit under such plans for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting and the rate of benefit accrual (but not actual benefit accrual); provided, however, that no such credit need be given in respect of any new plan commenced or participated in by the employer in which no prior service credit is given or recognized to or for other plan beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the employee benefit plans of the Purchaser shall include waiver of preexisting condition exclusions for Hired Employees and their dependents and recognize or provide credit for all deductibles paid by such Hired Employees during the current period while in the employ of the Company before the Effective Time. Moreover, Purchaser shall honor and assume the liabilities with respect to each Hired Employee’s rights in respect of accrued paid time off and ESL. Any current or future plans created by Purchaser that provide for benefit and vesting service to the Company employees from their original date of hire shall include all vesting and benefit service credit as would be included by recognizing such Hired Employees original date of hire as recognized by the Company before the Effective Time. The service credited under Purchaser’s welfare and other benefit plans will include all service credited under the welfare and other benefit plans of the Company and its Affiliates, respectively.

9.4 Post-Closing Operations of the Company. Purchaser agrees to maintain the separate corporate existence of the Company until the Second Variable Payment Date. From the Closing Date through the Second Variable Payment Date, Purchaser shall not operate the Company in a manner inconsistent with commercially reasonable practices nor do anything in bad faith with the intent to decrease the Contribution to EBITDA. Such covenant of Purchaser shall not prohibit Purchaser from ceasing any operations if it would not be commercially reasonable to continue such operations. Purchaser shall also comply with those certain covenants set forth in Schedule 1.8 hereto.

9.5 Certain Employee Matters. The Shareholders shall be responsible to provide continuation coverage pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 4980B and Treasury

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 32

regulations thereunder and Part 6 of Title I of ERISA (“COBRA Coverage”) to any qualified beneficiaries under any Plan required to provide COBRA Coverage. Purchaser shall be responsible in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 4980B and Treasury regulations thereunder and Article 6 of Title I of ERISA to provide COBRA Coverage with respect to each of the Hired Employees (and their dependents) whose qualifying event occurs on or after the date on which such employees become Hired Employees and who become qualified beneficiaries of the Company health plan subject to COBRA Coverage.

9.6 Payment of Premiums. The Parties agree that the premiums, costs and expenses under the Split-Dollar Agreement between the Company and Xx. Xxxxx will be paid by the Shareholders for the first and second years after the Closing of this Agreement and that any premiums, costs, expenses and other obligations arising thereafter under the Split-Dollar Agreement between the Company and Xx. Xxxxx shall be assumed and paid by the Company. The Parties further agree that all premiums, costs, expenses and obligations due under the Split-Dollar Agreement between the Company and Xx.

(ii) to the extent that any Damages may be recovered under a policy of insurance in force on the date of loss; provided, however, that this Section 10.2(b)(ii) shall not apply to the extent that coverage under the applicable policy of insurance is denied by the applicable insurance carrier;

(iii) to the extent such claim relates to an obligation or liability for which Purchaser has agreed to indemnify the Shareholders pursuant to Section 10.3;

(iv) to the extent related to a claim under Section 10.2(a)(i) or a claim under Section 10.2(a)(ii) for the Shareholders’ or the Company’s breach of any covenant required to be performed or satisfied at or prior to Closing, accrue to Purchaser unless the liability of the Shareholders or the Company in respect of any single claim or multiple claims in the aggregate exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (a “Relevant Claim”) in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to seek indemnification for the total amount of the Relevant Claim(s); or

(v) to the extent that Purchaser had actual knowledge at or prior to the Effective Time of (A) the respective breach of a representation or warranty by the Shareholders or (B) the breach of a covenant required to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Effective Time.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 34

(c) Damages Cap. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of the Shareholders to Purchaser under this Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Purchaser to the Shareholders.

(b) Indemnification Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be under no liability to indemnify the Shareholders under Section 10.3(a) and no claim under Section 10.3(a) shall be made:

(i) unless notice thereof shall have been given by or on behalf of the Shareholders to Purchaser in the manner provided in Section 10.4, unless failure to provide such notice in a timely manner does not materially impair Purchaser’s ability to defend its rights, mitigate damages, seek indemnification from a third party or otherwise protect its interests;

(ii) to the extent that any Damages may be recovered under a policy of insurance in force on the date of loss; provided, however, that this Section 10.3(b)(ii) shall not apply to the extent that coverage under the applicable policy of insurance is denied by the applicable insurance carrier;

(iii) to the extent related to a claim under Section 10.3(a)(i) or a claim under Section 10.3(a)(ii) for Purchaser’s breach of any covenant required to be performed or satisfied at or prior to Closing, but expressly not with respect to any payment due under Section 1.8 or Section 1.9 of this Agreement, accrue to the Shareholders unless and only to the extent that the actual liability of Purchaser in respect of any single claim or multiple claims in the aggregate exceeds the Relevant Claim amount in which event the Shareholders shall be entitled to seek indemnification for the total amount of the Relevant Claim(s); or

(iv) to the extent that either of the Shareholders had actual knowledge at or prior to the Effective Time of (A) the respective breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser or (B) the breach of a covenant required to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Effective Time.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 35

10.4 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification under this Article 10 by any person entitled to indemnification (an “Indemnified Party”) under this Article 10 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event any claim or demand, for which a Party hereto (an “Indemnifying Party”) would be liable for the Damages to an Indemnified Party, is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a person other than the Shareholders, Purchaser or their Affiliates (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give a notice of its claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of a complaint, petition or institution of other formal legal action against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice within such applicable time period after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Third Party Claim and thereby materially impairs the Indemnifying Party’s ability to protect its interests, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. 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.

(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 10.4(a), 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may, at its sole cost and expense, file during the Notice Period 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 which is not prejudicial, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnifying Party, to the Indemnifying Party. Except as provided in Section 10.4(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. 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 10.4(a)(i), and except as specifically provided in this Section 10.4(a)(i), the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 10.4(a)(i), in the event of a Tax Claim, any compromise or settlement of proceedings shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(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

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 36

pursuant to this Section 10.4(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, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be promptly and reasonably prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, 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 against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person (other than the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.4(a)(ii), 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, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this Section 10.4(a)(ii). Subject to the above terms of this Section 10.4(a)(ii), the Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.4(a)(ii), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. The Indemnified Party shall give sufficient prior notice to the Indemnifying Party of the initiation of any discussions relating to the settlement of a Third Party Claim to allow the Indemnifying Party to participate therein.

(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 to the Indemnifying Party. (The term “Indemnity Notice” shall mean written notification of a claim for indemnity under Article 10 hereof (which claim does not involve a Third Party Claim) by an Indemnified Party to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 10.4, 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.

(c) 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 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 the Damages in respect of such Third Party Claim, or (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. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 37

agree to proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute will be resolved by adjudication by a court or similar tribunal.

(d) The Indemnified Party agrees to give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to the books and records and employees of the Indemnified Party in connection with the matters for which indemnification is sought hereunder, to the extent the Indemnifying Party reasonably deems necessary in connection with its rights and obligations hereunder.

(e) 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 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 reasonably necessary and appropriate in connection with such 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 fully 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.

(f) Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all persons or entities relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.

10.5 Right of Offset. In addition to any other rights provided under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to offset the amount of any indemnification claims against the Shareholders that have been resolved on or before the First Variable Payment Date against Variable Payment A and/or Variable Payment C. Any claims that have been asserted on or before the First Variable Payment Date but are not resolved prior to the First Variable Payment Date may be offset against Variable Payment A and/or Variable Payment C if Purchaser shall deposit such withheld funds in an escrow account with a national bank to be held until receipt of joint disbursement directions signed by the Shareholders and Purchaser or upon the resolution of such unresolved claims. Purchaser shall be entitled to offset the amount of any indemnification claims against the Shareholders that have been resolved on or before the Second Variable Payment Date against Variable Payment B and/or Variable Payment D. Any claims that have been asserted on or before the Second Variable Payment Date but are not resolved prior to the Second Variable Payment Date may be offset against Variable Payment B and/or Variable Payment D if Purchaser shall deposit such withheld funds in an escrow account with a national

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 38

bank to be held until receipt of joint disbursement directions signed by the Shareholders and Purchaser or upon the resolution of such unresolved claims. The rights of offset described in this Section 10.5 shall not be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser.

10.6 Exclusive Remedy. Other than claims for fraud or equitable relief (which claims are nevertheless subject to the time limitation set forth in Section 10.1), any claim for indemnification arising under this Agreement shall, unless otherwise specifically stated in this Agreement, be governed solely and exclusively by the provisions of this Article 10. If the Shareholders and Purchaser cannot resolve such claim by mutual agreement, such claim shall be determined by adjudication by a court or similar tribunal in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

TAX AND COST REPORT MATTERS

11.1 Tax Matters.

(c) Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Shareholders shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items for such periods on their Tax returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1’s furnished by the Company to the Shareholders for such periods.
