WHEREAS, Buyer wishes to acquire Seller's Limited Partnership Interest from
the Seller, and the Seller wishes to sell the Limited Partnership Interest to

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged by the parties hereto, Seller, IHS and Buyer, intending to be
legally bound, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I: SALE AND PURCHASE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
1.1 SALE AND PURCHASE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer hereby acquires from the Seller, and the
Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to Buyer, Seller's right,
title and interest in or to the Limited Partnership Interest and all rights
arising out of the Limited Partnership Interest (the "Rights"), including
without limitation, all rights to distributions from Southwest (whether or not
currently due or hereafter arising), and all rights to Seller's Capital Account
(as such term is defined in the First Restatement of Agreement of Limited
Partnership of Southwest (the "Limited Partnership Agreement")). Concurrently
herewith Seller is delivering a Limited Partnership Interest Transfer Instrument
to Buyer.
ARTICLE II: PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 PURCHASE PRICE.
Amount and Payment. Seller hereby acknowledges its receipt from the
Buyer of the purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Limited Partnership
Interest in the amount of SIX HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($630,000) payable
by the delivery of Nineteen Thousand Seven Hundred (19,700) newly issued shares
(as may be adjusted, the "IHS Shares"), par value $.001 per share, of Integrated
Health Services, Inc. ("IHS Stock") subject to re-calculation as set forth in
Section 3.1(c) below.
ARTICLE III: IHS STOCK
3.1 IHS STOCK. All of the IHS Shares are being delivered in accordance
with the following:
(a) SHARE VALUE. The number of shares of IHS Stock issued pursuant to
Section 2.1 has been 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 Closing Date, and certificates representing
such shares of IHS Stock shall be delivered to Seller within three (3) business
days of the date hereof. The parties agree that such per share price is $31.98.
(b) REGISTRATION RIGHTS. IHS shall use its best efforts to cause to be
prepared and filed within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date hereof, a
registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "SECURITIES ACT") of the IHS Stock issued to Seller pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, in any event, IHS shall use its best efforts to cause the
registration statement to be declared effective by May 1, 1998. If the
registration statement is not reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "COMMISSION"), IHS shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the
registration statement declared effective by the Commission and to deliver to
Buyer the final prospectus within fourteen (14) days of the date IHS receives
notice from the commission that it will not review the registration statement
and IHS shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for a
period of one (1) year following the date on which it becomes effective (the
"REGISTRATION DATE"), or until Seller shall not own any of the IHS Stock issued
pursuant to this Agreement, whichever shall occur first.
(c) SHARE ADJUSTMENT. For purposes hereof, the "SHARE VALUE AMOUNT"
shall mean $630,000; provided that, if the Share Adjustment Date (as defined
below) shall not occur by May 1, 1998, the Share Value Amount shall increase by
an amount equal to the amount of the interest that would have accrued thereon at
an annual rate (compounded daily) of eight percent (8%) during the period
commencing on May 2, 1998 and ending on the Share Adjustment Date. Promptly, and
in any event, within three (3) business days, following the Share Adjustment
Date, the number of shares of IHS Stock deliverable as the Purchase Price shall
be re-calculated (the "ADJUSTED SHARE COUNT") to the extent necessary so that
such shares will have an aggregate value (the "RECALCULATED VALUE") equal to the
Share Value Amount based upon the average closing NYSE price for IHS Stock for
the 30-trading day period immediately preceding the Share Adjustment Date. If
the Adjusted Share Count exceeds the number of shares of IHS Stock issued as of
the Closing
2
Date (the "CLOSING DATE SHARE COUNT"), IHS promptly shall deliver over to the
Seller an additional number of shares of IHS Stock as shall have a value equal
to the amount of such excess (using the Recalculated Value for determining the
number of such shares of IHS Stock to be delivered), and such additional shares
shall be included in the aforementioned registration statement by means of a
post-effective amendment thereto. If the Closing Date Share Count exceeds the
Adjusted Share Count, Seller shall promptly return to IHS the number of shares
of IHS Stock having a value equal to the amount by which the the Closing Date
Share Count exceeds the Adjusted Share Count (using the Recalculated Value for
determining the number of shares of IHS Stock to be delivered). For purposes
hereof, "SHARE ADJUSTMENT DATE" shall mean the first to occur of: (x) the
Registration Date and (y) the date on which such IHS Shares become saleable in
accordance with Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act ("RULE
144"). If any IHS Shares are transferred by Seller prior to the Share Adjustment
Date, appropriate adjustments shall be made to exclude the amount of the Share
Value Amount allocable to such transferred shares from the adjustments required
by this subsection (c).
(d) REGISTRATION EXPENSES. IHS shall bear all of the expenses of IHS
related to such registration and incident to IHS's performance of or compliance
with this Article III including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of
its counsel, accountants and any other person retained by IHS, all of its
messenger and delivery expenses and fees and 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 IHS Stock under the Blue Sky laws of
various jurisdictions. IHS, however, shall not be required to pay underwriter's
or brokerage discounts, commissions or expenses, or to pay any costs or expenses
arising out of Seller's or any transferee=s failure to comply with its
obligations under this Article III.
(e) REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the registration
rights granted to the Seller with respect to the IHS Shares as provided in this
Section 3.1, IHS covenants and agrees as follows:
(i) At IHS's expense, IHS will file with the Commission such
amendments and post-effective amendments to the registration statement as may be
necessary to keep the registration and qualification under this Section 3.1
effective (and in compliance with the Securities Act) and will take such other
actions as may be necessary or appropriate with respect thereto for so long as
Seller owns any of the IHS Stock except to the extent that an exemption from
registration may be available. IHS will immediately notify Seller, at any time
when a prospectus relating to a registration statement under this Section 3.1 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.
3
(ii) IHS shall furnish Seller 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 Seller, 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 3.1 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. IHS shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Seller, at any
time when a prospectus relating to such registration statement is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of
which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and at
the request of the Seller prepare and furnish to the Seller a reasonable number
of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such IHS Shares,
such prospectus shall not include any untrue statement of material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading. The registration statement will comply in all material respects with
the provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(f) INDEMNIFICATION.
(i) IHS, without limitation as to time, shall indemnify Seller,
any successors and assigns and the officers, directors, agents and employees of
each of them, and each person, if any, who controls Seller within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 ("EXCHANGE ACT") and the officers, directors, agents and employees of
such controlling person, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
(including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending against any claim whatsoever) and expenses (collectively, "Losses") 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 (and any prospectus contained therein) 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 Seller
expressly for use in such registration statement, any
4
amendment or supplement thereto or any application, as the case may be. If any
action is brought against Seller or any controlling person of Seller or any
officer, director, agent or employee of Seller or of such controlling person
(collectively, the "SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES" and each, a "SELLER INDEMNIFIED
PARTY") in respect of which indemnity may be sought against IHS pursuant to this
subsection 3.1(e)(iv), the Seller Indemnified Party shall within thirty (30)
days after the receipt thereby of a summons or complaint, notify IHS in writing
of the institution of such action and IHS shall assume the defense of such
actions, including the employment and payment of fees and expenses of counsel
(reasonably satisfactory to the Seller Indemnified Party); provided, however,
that the failure to so notify IHS will not relieve IHS from any obligation or
liability except to the extent that IHS has been prejudiced materially by such
failure. The Seller Indemnified Party 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 Seller Indemnified Party 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 Seller
Indemnified Party 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 Seller Indemnified Party), in any of
which events the fees and expenses of not more than one additional firm of
attorneys for such Seller Indemnified Party 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, and if it is
not otherwise required to so hereunder, IHS shall not thereafter be liable to
any Seller Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending any such
action or claim and if it is not otherwise required to do so hereunder. IHS
agrees promptly to notify Seller of the commencement or any litigation or
proceedings against IHS or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons
in connection with the resale of IHS Shares or in connection with such
registration statement.
(ii) The Seller of IHS Shares to be sold pursuant to a
registration statement, and its successors and assigns, shall indemnify IHS, or
any officer, director, agent or employee of Buyer or of such controlling person
(collectively, the "BUYER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") and each a "BUYER INDEMNIFIED
PARTY" against any Losses to which they 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 of a material fact contained in the
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or arising out of
or based upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information so furnished in writing by Seller to IHS expressly for use in such
registration statement or prospectus and was relied upon by IHS in the
preparation of such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus. In no event will the liability of Seller hereunder be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of payment of all expenses)
received by Seller upon the sale of the IHS Shares giving rise to such
indemnification obligation.
(g) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section
3.1 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 3.1(f)(i) or 3.1(f)(ii)
hereof in respect of any Losses or is insufficient to hold such indemnified
party harmless, then each applicable indemnifying
5
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, will, jointly and
severally, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party or indemnifying parties, on the one
hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the
actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying
party or indemnifying parties, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on
the other hand, will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken
or made by, or related to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or
indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses will
be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party
in connection with any action or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 3.1(g) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(g), Seller will not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar
amount of the proceeds (net of payment of expenses) received by Seller upon the
sale of the IHS Shares exceed the amount of any damages which Seller has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnity, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations of IHS
hereunder will be in addition to any liability IHS may otherwise have hereunder
or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 3.1 will survive so long as the IHS
Shares remain outstanding, notwithstanding any transfer of the IHS Shares by
Seller or any termination of this Agreement.
(h) NOTICE OF SALE. Prior to the effective date of the registration
statement, if Seller desires to transfer all or any portion of IHS Stock, Seller
will 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 statement as provided herein, Seller
will 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
Acurrent@ until IHS gives further notice that offers and sales may be
recommenced. If Seller delivers to IHS an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to IHS and its counsel and to the effect that the proposed transfer
of IHS Stock may be made without registration under the Securities Act, Seller
will be entitled to transfer IHS Stock in accordance with the terms of the
notice and opinion of their counsel.
6
(i) MISCELLANEOUS. If Seller desires to transfer all or any portion of
IHS Stock, Seller will 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, Seller will 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 3.1(b) and
to give prompt notice to Seller when the registration statement has again become
current. If Seller delivers to IHS an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable
to IHS and its counsel and to the effect that the proposed transfer of IHS Stock
may be made without registration under the Securities Act, Seller will be
entitled to transfer IHS Stock in accordance with the terms of the notice and
opinion of their counsel.
(j) FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the IHS to take any action pursuant to this Article III that
Seller shall furnish to the IHS such information regarding itself, the IHS Stock
held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall
be reasonably required to effect the registration of their IHS Stock. In that
connection, each transferee of Seller shall be required to represent to the IHS
that all such information which is given is both complete and accurate in all
material respects. Seller shall deliver to IHS a statement in writing from the
beneficial owners of such securities that it has a bona fide intent to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of such securities. Each transferee will,
severally, promptly notify IHS at any time when a prospectus relating to a
registration statement covering such transferee's shares under this Section 3.1
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
event known to such transferee 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 statements as then existing.
(ii) INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. All shares of IHS Stock issued
hereunder have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable shares of IHS. Seller represents and warrants to IHS that the IHS
Stock being issued hereunder is being acquired, and will be acquired, by Seller
for investment for its own accounts and not with a view to or for sale in
connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the applicable state securities law; Seller acknowledges 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 Seller agrees 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. Seller has the knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment. Seller has
had the opportunity to make inquiries of and obtain from representatives and
employees of IHS such other information about IHS as it deems necessary in
connection with such investment.
7
(iii) 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 UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF THE COMPANY=S COUNSEL THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.
(i) CERTAIN TRANSFEREES. Prior to the effective date of
registration of the IHS Shares, no transferee shall transfer any IHS Shares to
any person or entity unless such transferee shall have agreed in writing to be
bound by the provisions applicable to Seller under this Article III.

reasonably requested by either party hereto after the date hereof, the other

discharged, abandoned, changed or modified in any manner, except by an
instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto by
their duly authorized officer or representative. The failure of any party to
enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be
construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the
validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party
thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of
this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
8.6 RIGHTS OF PERSONS NOT PARTIES. Nothing contained in this Agreement

accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, disregarding any contrary rules

provision, of this Agreement which is determined in any judicial or
administrative proceeding to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of
law which renders a provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
8.10 EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or
as provided by law, all costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall
