STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as
of July 22, 1997 by and among YOUTH AND FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES, INC., a
Georgia corporation ("Purchaser"), YOUTH SERVICES INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Seller"), and YOUTH SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
Maryland corporation ("YSI").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Seller owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock (the "Shares") of YSI Holdings-Georgia,
Inc., a Georgia corporation (the "Company"), and YSI owns, directly or
indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Seller; and
WHEREAS, subject to Section 4.26 hereof, on or before the Closing
Date, the Company shall own and control, either directly or indirectly, all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of the subsidiaries of YSI
which are engaged in the business of providing behavioral health services to
troubled youth and which are listed on Schedule 2.5 to this Agreement, referred
to herein as the "Subsidiaries," provided, however, that, as the context herein
otherwise requires, and, in particular, in the event that Youth Services
International of Texas, Inc., a Texas corporation, referred to hereinafter as
"YSI Texas," is not acquired by YFCS, pursuant to the election provided for in
Section 4.26(c)(ii) of this Agreement, the term "Subsidiaries" shall exclude YSI
Texas; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement
pursuant to which Purchaser will purchase from the Seller, and the Seller will
sell to Purchaser, all of the Shares upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1
SALE AND PURCHASE OF STOCK
1.1 Agreement to Sell and Purchase Stock. For the consideration
hereinafter provided and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
at the Closing (as defined in Section 1.6 hereof), the Seller shall sell,
assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all liens,
charges, claims or encumbrances, and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from
the Seller, the Shares. At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser
certificates representing the Shares, together with stock powers or instruments
of assignment, duly endorsed in blank for the transfer of such Shares to
12
Purchaser and with all necessary transfer taxes paid or other revenue stamps
affixed thereto.
1.2 Consideration.
(a) Subject to Section 1.11 below, the
consideration to be paid by Purchaser to the Seller for the sale, transfer, and
conveyance of the Shares (the "Purchase Price") shall be:
(i) $17,500,000.00 (the "Base
Purchase Price") subject to Section 4.26 hereof; plus or minus
(ii) The amount by which the Final
Net Working Capital (as hereinafter defined in Section 1.5(b))
is greater than or less than, subject to Section 4.26 hereof,
$4,041,500.00 (the "Base Net Working Capital Figure").
(b) Reserved.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Net Working
Capital' shall mean the amount derived by subtracting from the book value of the
total current assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, determined on a
consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), consistently applied, but as adjusted in the manner contemplated by
Schedule 1.2(c) to this Agreement, as of a specified date, the aggregate amount
of the book value of the current liabilities of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP,
consistently applied, but as adjusted in the manner contemplated by Schedule
1.2(c) to this Agreement, as of such date. For purposes of a determination of
Audited Net Working Capital (hereinafter defined) only, the accounts receivable
portion of Net Working Capital shall be an amount equal to any and all accounts
receivable that have been collected by the Company and the Subsidiaries,
pursuant to the Purchaser's reasonable best efforts, for the period from the
Closing Date through close of business on the 150th calendar day subsequent to
the Closing Date. Whenever this Agreement provides for a calculation of Net
Working Capital of the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Net Working Capital
shall be determined in accordance with the procedures provided for in this
Section 1.2(c).
1.3 Determination of Estimated Net Working Capital. Not later than
five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall furnish to
Purchaser the Seller's best estimate of the Net Working Capital of the Company
as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated Net Working Capital"). The Estimated Net
Working Capital shall be provided in a format that includes (i) Net Working
Capital of the Company and the Subsidiaries under an assumption that the closing
will include YSI Texas as one of the Subsidiaries to be acquired pursuant to
this Agreement, as originally contemplated by the parties, and (ii) Net Working
Capital of the Company and the Subsidiaries under an
-2-
13
assumption that the closing will be effected as provided in Section 4.26(c)(ii),
excluding YSI Texas. The Estimated Net Working Capital shall be determined in a
manner consistent with Section 1.5.
1.4 Payment of Consideration at Closing. Subject to Section 4.26
hereof, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a cash
payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as
the Seller shall designate in the aggregate amount of $17,500,000.00, plus or
minus the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital as of the Closing
Date is greater than or less than $4,041,500.00 (the "Estimated Purchase
Price").
1.5 Determination of Purchase Price.
(a) (i) Not later than one hundred eighty (180) days
following the Closing Date, Purchaser, at its expense, shall furnish to the
Seller (i) an audited balance sheet reflecting the consolidated Net Working
Capital of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date prepared by
Purchaser and reported upon by Ernst & Young LLP ("Purchaser's Accountants")
(the "Audited Net Working Capital"), and (ii) a Schedule (the "Schedule")
prepared by Purchaser and reviewed by Purchaser's Accountants setting forth
Purchaser's determination of the purchase price based upon the Audited Net
Working Capital (the "Purchase Price"). The Seller shall have the right to have
its accountants review all work papers of Purchaser and Purchaser's Accountants
contemporaneously with the preparation and audit of such Audited Net Working
Capital.
(ii) As to the foregoing in this Section 1.5(a), if, at
the date of preparation and delivery of the audited balance sheet and the
Schedule, YSI Texas has been acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Purchaser,
at the Closing, as originally contemplated by the parties, or pursuant to
exercise of the Put Option to which reference is made in Section 4.26(c)(ii)(D)
hereof, the audited balance sheet and the determination of the Purchase Price
based upon the Audited Net Working Capital shall include YSI Texas. If, at such
date, YSI Texas has not been so acquired, the audited balance sheet and
determination of the Purchase Price shall exclude YSI Texas.
(b) The Seller shall have fifteen (15) business days following
receipt of the Audited Net Working Capital and the Schedule to agree or disagree
with the calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Schedule. If
Purchaser and the Seller agree as to the Purchase Price within such period,
payment of any difference between the Estimated Purchase Price and the Purchase
Price shall be made in cash as provided in Section 1.5(d) hereof. If Seller
disagrees with the calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Schedule,
the Seller shall deliver written notice of its objection(s) to the Purchaser
within such fifteen (15) business day period, which notice shall describe, in
reasonable detail, the reasons for the Seller's objections thereto. If the
Seller fails to deliver a written notice of objection to the Purchaser within
such fifteen (15) business day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have
accepted the Audited Net Working Capital and
-3-
14
the Schedule (and the resulting determination of the Purchase Price). If the
Seller delivers a written notice of objection to the Purchaser within such
fifteen (15) business day period, the Seller and Purchaser shall thereafter
endeavor in good faith to resolve any disputed items within ten (10) business
days after the date on which the Purchaser received the notice of objection. If,
however, Purchaser and the Seller do not agree as to the Purchase Price within
such ten (10) day period, the disagreement shall be resolved by a nationally
known ("Big Six") independent accounting firm not then engaged by either YSI or
Purchaser (the "Independent Accountants"). In connection with the foregoing, the
Independent Accountants shall have reasonable access to all documents and
facilities necessary in their judgment to perform their function. The
determination of the Independent Accountants with regard to the disagreement
shall be final and binding on the parties. The Net Working Capital of the
Company and the Subsidiaries as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5
(whether by failure of the Seller to deliver a notice of objection to the
Purchaser in a timely manner, by agreement of the parties or by final
determination of the Independent Accountants) shall be deemed to be and shall be
referred to herein as, the "Final Net Working Capital."
(c) All costs associated with the resolution of any dispute by
the Independent Accountants shall be borne equally by the Seller and
Purchaser, except that the Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for
the fees of their own attorneys and accountants, and other expenses incurred in
connection with the resolution of the dispute.
(d) If the Final Net Working Capital is greater than the
Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay the difference between such
amounts, together with interest thereon as provided below, to the Seller. If the
Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, the
Seller shall pay the difference between such amounts, together with interest
thereon as provided below, to Purchaser. The payments required by this
Subsection (d) shall be made in cash or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds within ten (10) days after the earlier to occur of (i) the date
Purchaser and the Seller agree as to the Purchase Price or (ii) the
determination of the Purchase Price according to the provisions of Subsection
(b) above. The payment shall bear interest from the Closing Date until the date
of payment at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The fees and expenses of
the Seller's accountants shall be borne by the Seller, and all fees and expenses
of Purchaser's Accountants shall be borne by Purchaser.
1.6 Closing. (a) The closing of the sale and purchase hereunder (the
"Closing") shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx & Bird LLP, located at One
Atlantic Center, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000-0000 at
10:00 a.m. local time, on or before October 31, 1997, or on such other date and

-4-
15
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, failure to
consummate the transactions on or before October 31, 1997 shall not result in
the termination of this Agreement, and will not relieve any party of any
obligation hereunder.

Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the month of July, 1997, provided by
YSI to the Purchaser), for the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis for the three-month period beginning September 1, 1997 and ending November
30, 1997 (the "September-November Proforma APC"), and (ii) shall provide such
computation to the
-6-
17
Seller, together with a certification from the Purchaser to the effect that such
computation was prepared (A) solely from the books and records of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, which books and records have been maintained in the
ordinary course of business, and (B) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. As to the foregoing, and for all purposes in this Section 1.11,
anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, "Subsidiaries" shall
exclude YSI Texas, whether or not YSI Texas has been acquired by the Purchaser.
Such proforma computation shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP,
consistently applied, except as indicated in Schedule 1.11 hereto, but shall
disregard (i) any operational changes effected by reason of the application of
the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
requirements of Section 7.13 hereof and the requirements of the Lease and Tax
Matters Agreement described in Section 7.14 hereof (it being the intention of
the parties that the amount so determined shall be the amount of Aggregate
Program Contribution for the period September 1, 1997-November 30, 1997 that
would have obtained absent the occurrence of the transaction or transactions
contemplated in this Agreement); (ii) any accruals for or recognition of
vacation or holiday pay; (iii) any accruals for or recognition of obligations
relating to or arising out of the termination of any personnel at the written
direction of the Purchaser following the Closing; (iv) any reserves for bad
debts or uncollectible accounts not based upon methodology or assumptions
consistent with those made by or used by YSI prior to the Closing, provided,
however, as to the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that such methodology and
assumptions contemplate (A) a 2% reserve against the revenues of Introspect
HealthCare Corporation and Youth Services International of New Mexico, Inc.; (B)
a 5% reserve against all revenues derived from the operations of the Tampa Bay
Academy, except for revenues derived from the provision of educational services,
as to which no reserve is established; and (C) no reserve against the revenues
of the Subsidiaries not specifically mentioned in (A) or (B) above; or any
reversal or depletion of existing reserves made during such period; (v) any
reserve against IBNR; (vi) any allocation of selling, general or administrative
expenses, (vii) any expenses of whatever type relating to or incurred in
connection with any operations of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates other
than the operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, (viii) any corporate
management fee or administrative fee, (ix) any other fees charges, expenses or
rents charged to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries by, or payable by the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries to, the Purchaser or any of its affiliates;
(x) any reserve or accrual for, or recognition of, any expenses incurred or any
reversal or depletion of reserves or accruals for expenses recorded during any
period other than the three months ended November 30, 1997; (xi) any amount of
expense for the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, for the month of November, 1997,
that is intentionally incurred and materially in excess of the average monthly
expenses incurred by the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in the ordinary course,
for the months of April, May, June, July, August and September, 1997; (xii) any
recognition of or accrual for revenues derived from operations during any period
other than September 1, 1997 through November 30, 1997; or (xiii) any revenue or
expenses derived from any extraordinary event or occurrence, in each case
whether or not required by GAAP to be reflected on the books and records of the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries. For purposes of the foregoing, "Aggregate
Program Contribution" means
-7-
18
income of the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis before
interest, income taxes and expenses related to the Southwest business office.
("Expenses related to the Southwest business office" are such expenses of the
Subsidiaries' Southwest business office as have been heretofore reflected in
operations statements prepared by Seller and provided to Purchaser.)
(b) The Seller shall have fifteen (15) business days following
receipt of the Purchaser's determination of September-November Proforma APC to
agree or disagree with the Purchaser's calculation of such amount. If Seller
disagrees with the calculation of the September-November Proforma APC, the
Seller shall deliver written notice of its objection(s) to the Purchaser within
such fifteen (15) business day period, which notice shall describe, in
reasonable detail, the reasons for the Seller's objections thereto. If the
Seller fails to deliver written notice of objection to the Purchaser within such
fifteen (15) business day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted
the Purchaser's determination of the September-November Proforma APC. If the
Seller delivers a written notice of objection to the Purchaser within such
fifteen (15) business day period, the Seller and the Purchaser shall endeavor in
good faith to resolve the dispute within five (5) business days after the date
on which the Purchaser received the notice of objection. If the Purchaser and
the Seller do not agree as to the September-November Proforma APC within such
five (5) business day period, then Seller shall engage a nationally recognized
independent accounting firm of the Seller's choosing to make a determination of
the September-November Proforma APC, and the Purchaser shall allow reasonable
access to the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries for such
purpose. The costs and expenses associated with such independent accounting firm
shall be borne one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser. If the Seller's
independent accounting firm's determination of the September-November Proforma
APC differs from the Purchaser's determination of such amount, the parties agree
to negotiate in good faith to reach a final determination. If the parties cannot
agree on a final determination of the September-November Proforma APC within
thirty (30) days of the Purchaser's receipt of notice of the Seller's
independent accounting firm's determination thereof, the parties shall promptly
submit the matter to the Atlanta, Georgia office of Deloitte & Touche for such
firm's determination of September 1-November 30 Proforma APC, with direction
from Purchaser and Seller to the effect that such determination shall be
provided to Purchaser and Seller as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than twenty (20) business days subsequent to the date of submission to such
firm. The determination of September-November Proforma APC made by such firm
shall be final and conclusive and subject to no appeal. The costs and expenses
of such accounting firm shall be borne one-half by the Seller and one-half by
Purchaser.
(c) In the event that the September-November Proforma APC,
determined as provided above, is equal to or greater than $593,000.00, Seller
shall be entitled to payment from the Purchaser in the amount of $4,500,000.00
(the "Contingent Consideration Amount"). In the event that the
September-November Proforma APC is less than $593,000.00, Seller shall be
entitled to no payment from Purchaser under and
-8-
19
pursuant to this Section 1.11. Purchaser shall pay the Contingent
Consideration Amount, if any, in immediately available funds to the account
designated by the Seller within ten (10) days of the final determination
thereof, whether by agreement or otherwise, in accordance with paragraph (b)
above.
(d) YSI and Seller acknowledge that Purchaser will be in control
of the operation of the Company and the Subsidiaries from and after the Closing.
The Purchaser covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to operate
the business of the Subsidiaries during the month of November, 1997, in a
businesslike and reasonably prudent manner. YSI and Seller agree that they shall
have no right of recovery against Purchaser in connection with this Section 1.11
unless it can be shown clearly and convincingly (which phrase "clearly and
convincingly" is intended by the parties to be a higher standard of proof than
"preponderance of the evidence") that Purchaser intentionally failed to operate
the Company and the Subsidiaries in the manner required in the immediately
preceding sentence for the purpose of adversely affecting the September-November
Proforma APC.
(e) In the event that the Purchaser fails to prepare the
computation of Aggregate Program Contribution and provide such computation to
the Seller by February 2, 1998, as required in paragraph (a) above, the
Purchaser shall be required to make payment to the Seller in the amount of
$5,000 multiplied by the number of days that end subsequent to February 2, 1998
and prior to the date on which such computation has been made and provided to
the Purchaser (the "Daily Payment Amount"). In the event that the Contingent
Consideration Amount becomes payable pursuant to and in accordance with this
Section 1.11, the amount of the Daily Payment Amount shall be applied against
the Contingent Consideration Amount. Otherwise, the Daily Payment Amount shall
be payable within ten (10) days of the final determination of the
September-November Proforma APC, whether by agreement, or otherwise, in
accordance with paragraph (b) above.

on the qualification of the ERISA Plans (as hereinafter defined) and tax
exemption of related trusts, as applicable under the Code, and all such
government approvals continue in full force and effect. No event has occurred
which will or could give rise to disqualification of any such plan or loss of

contemplated by this Agreement in such disclosure documents). The parties will
consult with each other concerning the means by which the Company's and the
Subsidiaries' employees, customers, patients, and suppliers and others having
dealings with the Company or the Subsidiaries will be informed, if at all, of
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of YSI and
Purchaser will have the right to review in advance and approve the general form
and substance of any such written communications or to be present for any such
oral communications (it being understood and acknowledged, however, by the
Purchaser, that YSI may include information concerning the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in disclosure documents required to be filed by
YSI pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and that nothing contained
herein shall be construed to prohibit YSI from including information concerning
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in such disclosure documents).
4.6 Notification; Disclosure Schedule Changes. (a) Between the date
of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Purchaser, on the one hand, and YSI and
the Seller, on the other hand, will promptly notify the other party in writing
if Purchaser, on the one hand, or YSI and the Seller, on the other hand, becomes
aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach, (a) on the
one hand, of any of Purchaser's representations and warranties as of the date of
this Agreement, or if Purchaser becomes aware of the occurrence after the date
of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly
contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such
representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of
the time of the occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition, or (b) on the
other hand, of any of YSI's or the Seller's representations and warranties as of
the date of this Agreement, or if YSI or the Seller become aware of the
occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would
(except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a
breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or
warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or
condition. Should any such fact or condition require any change in the
disclosure schedules contemplated by the provisions of this Agreement as to YSI
and the Seller, or as to Purchaser, if such disclosure schedules were dated the
date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, YSI and the
Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, will promptly deliver
to the other party a supplement to the applicable disclosure schedule specifying
such change, any of which such supplement is subject to the approval of
Purchaser in its sole discretion, on the one hand, and YSI and the Seller in
their sole discretion, on the other hand. During the same period,
-29-
40
(i) Purchaser will promptly notify YSI and the Seller of the occurrence of any
breach of any covenant of Purchaser in this Section 4, or of the occurrence of
any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 8 hereof
impossible or unlikely, and (ii) YSI and the Seller will promptly notify
Purchaser of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of YSI or the Seller
in this Section 4, or of the occurrence of any event that may make the
satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7 hereof impossible or unlikely.
(b) In the event that YSI and the Seller make the election
provided for in Section 4.26(c)(ii) hereto, the Schedules shall be deemed to be
revised in the manner provided in such provision.
4.7 Purchaser Exclusive. YSI and the Seller agree that during the
period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending October 31, 1997 or
until the earlier termination of this Agreement, they will not, directly or
indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or encourage any offers or proposals to
purchase the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective
assets, nor (ii) engage in negotiations or discussions with third parties that
may be considering making or have made offers with respect to any such
acquisition.
4.8. Antitrust. With regard to filings under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR Act"), YSI, the Seller and Purchaser
mutually covenant and agree that they shall each cooperate in the prompt
preparation and making of such filings, if applicable, the filing fees for such
filing to be the sole cost of Purchaser.
4.9. Vacation and Holiday Pay, Etc. Prior to the Closing, the Seller
shall provide Purchaser with Schedule 4.9 reflecting a list of all accrued
vacation and holiday pay estimated as of the Closing Date based upon existing
employment policies of the Company.
4.10 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Covenants. (a) Except as
specifically agreed to by Purchaser in writing, YSI and Seller covenant and
agree that from the date hereof and for a period of three (3) years from the
Closing Date, none of YSI, Seller or their affiliates shall, directly or
indirectly, own (excluding ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the equity
of any publicly traded entity), manage, operate, control, contract with or be
otherwise associated with, lend funds to, lend its name to or maintain any
interest whatsoever in, any enterprise having to do with the provision of
mental, psychiatric or behavioral health care services in competition with
Purchaser, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (or any of their affiliates)
within a 100-mile radius of any facility owned or operated by any of the
Subsidiaries immediately prior to the time of the Closing (the "Protected
Territory"); provided, however, (1) the foregoing covenants of this Section 4.10
shall not apply to the extent that YSI shall become an owner or operator of any
such enterprise within such radius by reason of an acquisition by YSI of an
entity principally devoted to a business other than such an enterprise, provided
that (A) YSI promptly and in good faith acts to dispose of such business, and
(B) the Purchaser shall
-30-
41
have a right of first offer with respect to any such business; and (2) nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit either YSI or the Seller or any of
their presently existing or hereafter created affiliates from engaging in such
services if the provision of such services is merely incidental to the provision
of services in connection with the ownership, operation or management by such
parties of any enterprise engaged in the Juvenile Justice Business, as
hereinafter defined, even if within the Protected Territory. For purposes of the
foregoing, "Juvenile Justice Business" means the business of providing
educational or rehabilitative services under a detention and rehabilitative
model to troubled youth substantially all of whom have been adjudicated or
deemed "at risk" by a juvenile justice system or systems pursuant to contractual
arrangements with juvenile justice systems.
(b) The parties also agree that, from the date hereof
and for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, none of YSI, the
Seller or their affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, for its own benefit or
the benefit of others, induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries (or any of its affiliates) to terminate his or her
employment with any such party. YSI and the Seller further agree that, from the
date hereof and for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, none of
YSI, Seller or their affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, for its own
benefit or the benefit of another, solicit, entice or induce, or attempt to
solicit, entice or induce, any employee or agent of the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or any of its affiliates to leave such employ.
(c) YSI and the Seller understand and acknowledge that
the foregoing provisions in this Section are designed to preserve the
goodwill of Purchaser in the business which it is acquiring pursuant hereto.
Accordingly, if YSI or Seller breaches any obligation provided in this Section,
in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in
equity, Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement by injunctive
relief and by specific performance, such relief to be without the necessity of
posting a bond, cash or otherwise (unless required by applicable law).
Additionally, nothing in this paragraph shall limit Purchaser's right to recover
any other damages to which it is entitled as a result of breach by YSI or
Seller. If any one or more of the provisions of this Section or any word,
phrase, clause, sentence or other portion of this Section (including, without
limitation, the geographical, temporal or scope of activity restrictions
contained in this Section) shall be held to be unenforceable or invalid for any
reason such provision or portion of provision shall be modified or deleted in
such a manner so as to make this Section, as modified, legal and enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
4.11 Election Under Section 338(h)(10). (a) Purchaser, at its
option, shall have the right to make a timely election under Section338(h)(10)
of the Code and Section1.338(h)(10)-1 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code, and any corresponding elections under state or local tax
law. The Seller shall (i) take, and cooperate with the Purchaser to take, all
actions necessary and appropriate (including, without limitation, the
-31-
42
preparation, completion and timely joint filing by Purchaser and the Seller of
Form 8023-A, and the preparation, completion and timely filing of such other
forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents and instruments) to
effect, perfect and preserve a timely Section338(h)(10) election in accordance
with Section338(h)(10) of the Code and Section1.338(h)(10)-1 of the Treasury
Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code, and (ii) report the purchase and
sale of the Purchased Shares, consistent with the election pursuant to
Section338(h)(10) and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent
therewith in any tax return, or in any discussion with or any proceeding before
any taxing authority or other governmental body or otherwise.
(b) The Purchase Price, any Contingent Consideration
Amount and all other items that comprise the "modified aggregate deemed sale
price" (as defined in, and required to be allocated pursuant to
Section338(h)(10) of the Code) and the Purchaser's "adjusted grossed up basis"
shall be allocated in accordance with a schedule prepared by Purchaser (the
"Allocation") and consented to by Seller, which consent shall not be withheld
unreasonably. The Allocation shall, for tax purposes, be binding on the Company,
the Seller and Purchaser. In the event the parties cannot agree as to the
Allocation, the parties shall, if the Purchaser or the Seller so requests,
mutually select an independent appraiser who shall prepare an allocation of such
items which shall be accepted by the parties as the Allocation. The fees and
expenses of such independent appraiser shall be paid 50% by the Purchaser and
50% by the Seller. The Company, the Seller and Purchaser shall file their
respective tax returns in accordance with such allocation and shall not take any
position inconsistent with such allocation. In the event that such allocation is
disputed by any tax authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall
promptly notify and consult with the other parties hereto concerning resolution
of such dispute and no such dispute shall be finally settled or compromised
without the mutual consent of the parties, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.
(c) At the Purchaser's election and to the extent
permitted by state, local or foreign tax laws, the Seller and the Purchaser
shall make any election similar to a Section 338(h)(10) Election which is
optional under any state, local or foreign law, and shall cooperate and join in
any election made by any of the Subsidiaries to effect such an election so as to
treat the transactions contemplated herein as a sale of assets for state, local
and foreign income tax purposes, the principles and procedures of this 4.11
shall also apply with respect to a Section 338(h)(10) Election under state,
local or foreign law.
(d) For purposes of determining the Final Net Working
Capital of the Seller and the Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 1.5 of this
Agreement, no accrual shall be made for any federal, state or local income or
other taxes which may arise and for which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
may become liable as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election (it being
understood that such taxes shall not be considered in determining the Purchase
Price for the Shares).
-32-
43
4.12 Payment of Taxes and Tax Returns.
(a) YSI, for the Seller and on behalf of each of the
Subsidiaries, shall timely and accurately file or cause to be filed all
consolidated returns for consolidated taxes (including the filing of any state
or local consolidated returns that include the result of the Section 338(h)(10)
Election) required to be filed by or on behalf of any of the Subsidiaries for
any taxable year or taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date,
including any taxable period that ends on the Closing Date as a result of the
Section 338(h)(10) Election, and including any one-day state or local
consolidated returns (all such periods described in this Section 4.12(a) being
referred to herein as "Pre-Closing Periods").
(b) The Seller shall pay and be responsible for all
consolidated taxes imposed upon or with respect to any of the Subsidiaries for
any Pre-Closing Period, including any liability for Consolidated Taxes arising
out of the inclusion of any of the Subsidiaries in any consolidated returns, and
further including any liability for consolidated taxes arising as a result of
the Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Purchaser shall, promptly after the receipt
thereof, remit to Seller any Consolidated Tax refund received by the Purchaser
or any of the Subsidiaries to the extent such refund relates to a Pre-Closing
Period.
(c) The Purchaser and each of the Subsidiaries shall be
responsible for: (i) the timely preparation and filing of all tax returns
of the Subsidiaries for any taxable year or taxable period beginning after the
Closing Date (the "Post-Closing Period"), and (ii) the preparation and filing of
all Tax Returns required to be filed by any of the Subsidiaries after the
Closing Date other than those tax returns for consolidated taxes described in
Section 4.12(b).
(d) The Purchaser shall pay and be responsible for, and
shall be entitled to all refunds and credits of, all taxes (including
reasonable attorneys fees and any legal or other expenses for investigating or
defending any actions with respect to Taxes) with respect to any of the
Subsidiaries for any Post-Closing Period.
(e) If, for any federal, state or local tax purpose, a
taxable year or taxable period of any of the Subsidiaries which begins
before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a "Bridge Period") does
not terminate on the Closing Date, the parties hereto will, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, elect with the relevant tax authority to treat the
portion of the Bridge Period ending on the Closing Date (the "Seller Period")
for all purposes as a short taxable period ending as of the close of the Closing
Date and such short taxable period shall be treated as a Pre-Closing Period for
purposes of this Agreement and the portion of the Bridge Period after the
Closing Date (the "Purchaser Period") shall be treated as a Post-Closing Period
for purposes of this Agreement. In any case where applicable laws do not permit
such an election to be made, then, for purposes of this Agreement, consolidated
taxes for the Bridge Period shall be
-33-
44
allocated between the Seller Period and the Purchaser Period using an
interim-closing-of-the-books method assuming that the Seller Period is a taxable
period ending at the close of business on the Closing Date.
(f) The Purchaser shall cause each of the Subsidiaries
to timely and accurately prepare and file all tax returns and pay all taxes
due, if any, with respect to any of the Subsidiaries for any Bridge Period that
does not terminate on the Closing Date, for which it is responsible to pay taxes
in whole or in part. The Seller shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser any work
papers in Seller's possession relating to taxes due for any such Bridge Period
setting forth in detail all information required to complete the applicable tax
returns. Upon notice from the Purchaser, Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the
taxes attributable to the Seller Period portion of the Bridge Period on or
before the second business day prior to the due date for the payment of such
taxes, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated
by the Purchaser.
(g) The Purchaser shall have exclusive control over and
responsibility to conduct any contest with respect to taxes arising in any
Post-Closing Period or in any Bridge Period; provided, however, that the
Purchaser shall not enter into any agreement in compromise or settlement of such
contest which could affect Seller's liability with respect to a Pre-Closing
Period or a Seller Period without the written consent of Seller, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(h) Seller shall have exclusive control over and
responsibility to conduct any contest with respect to taxes arising in any
Pre-Closing Period, unless the Purchaser shall agree in writing to waive any
claim for indemnification under Sections 4.12(b) with respect thereto, in which
event the Purchaser shall have exclusive control over and responsibility to
conduct any such contest; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not enter
into any agreement in compromise or settlement of such Contest which could
affect Seller's liability with respect to a Pre-Closing Period or a Seller
Period without the written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; and provided, further, that Seller shall not enter into any
agreement in compromise or settlement of such Contest which could affect the
liability of the Purchaser and each of the Subsidiaries with respect to a
Post-Closing Period or a the Purchaser Period without the written consent of the
Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(i) The Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing
promptly upon receipt by any of the Subsidiaries after the Closing of notice of
any assessment or the assertion of any deficiency by any tax authority relating
to a Pre-Closing Period or a Bridge Period with respect to any of the
Subsidiaries.
(j) Seller may participate in any contest concerning
taxes with respect to any Bridge Period that relates to a Seller Period at its
own expense. Seller shall not be liable for any portion of any settlement of any
contest for a Bridge Period that relates to a
-34-
45
Seller Period without its written consent, provided such consent was not
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(k) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and
subject to the allocation of liabilities for Taxes, Seller and the Purchaser
agree to cooperate fully with each other with respect to the preparation of all
tax returns and with respect to all matters relating to taxes, and to keep each
other advised as to any issue relating to taxes of which such party is aware
which could have a bearing on such other party's responsibilities hereunder.
(1) In any contest controlled by Seller or the
Purchaser, the other party will take such action as the one party may by written
notice reasonably request in connection with such contest (including the payment
of a tax preparatory to filing a claim for refund of such tax).
(m) As of the Closing, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, Seller and the Subsidiaries shall mutually release each other
from any obligation with respect to any period under any tax sharing, tax
indemnity or tax allocation agreement between any of the Subsidiaries and Seller
or YSI.
4.13 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto, for themselves and
their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders and
representatives, hereby agrees to hold in confidence all information, books,
records and documents acquired from any other party hereto prior to, on, or
after the date hereof in the course of negotiation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or pursuant to the provisions hereof and will not disclose
the same to any third party except as required by law, and except to the extent
necessary to (a) respond to lawful process, (b) comply with applicable laws, (c)

of counsel, and shall not use such information for any purpose whatsoever other
than for purposes of negotiating the transactions contemplated hereby, or, in
the case of the Purchaser, evaluating the businesses of the Subsidiaries in

acknowledged, however, by the Purchaser that YSI may include information
concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in disclosure
documents required to be filed by YSI pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and that nothing
contained herein shall be construed to prohibit YSI from including information
concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in such disclosure
documents). Should the transactions contemplated hereby not be consummated for
any reason, each party shall promptly return to the other all originals and
copies of such documents and other written information obtained from the other
in the course of such negotiations or pursuant hereto and shall promptly destroy
all evaluations and studies prepared by it or by any of its representatives on
the basis of such information, books, records or documents. The provisions of
this Section 4.13 shall survive the termination
-35-
46
of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following the date on which this
Agreement shall have been terminated.
4.14 Financing by the Purchaser. Promptly following the execution
hereof, the Purchaser shall promptly undertake such actions and use its

Section 1.11.
4.15 Reorganization of the Subsidiaries. At, or immediately prior to
the Closing, YSI shall take, and shall cause the Seller to take, all such

the Subsidiaries, a so-called "tail insurance" policy covering professional
liability and malpractice claims against the Company and the Subsidiaries for a
period of seven (7) years subsequent to the Closing Date and providing insurance
in favor of such entities with such deductibles and otherwise substantially
similar to the professional liability insurance policy in effect for the Company
and the Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing, all with an insurer
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and pursuant to a policy of insurance
that is reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.
4.19 Transfer of 401(k) Plans. Prior to the Closing, YSI shall have

Closing, YSI shall provide to the Purchaser a list of all employees of the

48
exceeds $500.00, and (ii) to the extent not itemized in the Subsidiary Financial
Statements, a complete and accurate list and brief description of all

Purchaser and YSI shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to
effect such assumption and the release of YSI from such obligations as of the
Closing.
4.25 Access to Information and Cooperation After Closing. Following
the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company and each of the
Subsidiaries and their respective employees to, cooperate with YSI and the
Seller and their employees, counsel, and independent accountants and other
representatives, and provide to YSI and the Seller and their employees, counsel,
and independent accountants and other representatives full and complete access
upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, to all officers, employees,
offices, properties, agreements, records and affairs of the Company and the
Subsidiaries relating to periods prior to the Closing for all reasonable and
proper purposes or as may be reasonably necessary in order to enable YSI or the
Seller to prepare any tax returns or financial statements and in connection with
any judicial, quasi judicial, administrative, tax audit or arbitration
proceeding relating to or arising out of the operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, Third Party
Claims and the matters described in Schedules 2.9 and 2.17), and will, at the
Seller's reasonable expense, promptly provide copies of such information
concerning the Company and the Subsidiaries as YSI or the Seller may reasonably
request for any such purpose.
4.26 YSI of Texas Matters. (a) Reference is hereby made to that
certain Facility Lease and Security Agreement by and between Meditrust of
College Station, Inc., lessor ("Meditrust"), and Youth Services International of
Texas, Inc., lessee (the "College Station Lease"). The parties hereto
acknowledge that the transactions
-38-
49
contemplated in this Agreement may require that one or more consents be obtained
from Meditrust (collectively, the "Meditrust Consent").
(b) In the event that the Meditrust Consent is obtained,
YSI Texas shall be included as one of the Subsidiaries to be acquired pursuant
to this Agreement, as originally contemplated by the parties. In such event, or
in the event that YSI is acquired as provided in Section 4.26(c)(i) below, the
parties agree that the acquisition of YSI Texas may be effected by means of a
merger of YSI Texas into a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of YFCS
pursuant to agreements in customary form that are reasonably satisfactory to the
parties, as more fully described in the Put Option Agreement referred to below,
it being the parties' intention that, in such event, such acquisition shall be
effected in such manner as to place the parties as nearly as practicable in the
same positions as would have resulted from an acquisition of YSI Texas as one of
the Subsidiaries under and pursuant to this Agreement without regard to this
Section 4.26.
(c) In the event that the Meditrust Consent is not
obtained, YSI and the Seller shall elect one of the following two alternatives
by means of a signed writing addressed to the Purchaser, which writing shall be
delivered at the Closing:
(i) A Closing that includes YSI Texas as one of
the Subsidiaries to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement, as
originally contemplated by the parties. In such event, the parties
shall, and do hereby, agree that damages and out-of-pocket expenses,
if any, incurred by any of the parties as a consequence of closing
without the Meditrust Consent by the Purchaser, on the one hand, or
the Seller and YSI, on the other hand, will be shared equally, fifty
percent (50%) by YSI and the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the
Purchaser. However, the amount of such damages so paid or payable by
the Purchaser shall in no event exceed the sum of $100,000; in the
event that the total of such damages exceeds $200,000, YSI and the
Seller shall be responsible, jointly and severally, for one hundred
percent (100%) of the excess over $200,000.
(ii) A closing that excludes YSI Texas from
the transactions to be effected upon consummation of this Agreement.
In the event that this alternative (ii) is elected by YSI and the
Seller, the following changes shall be effected under and pursuant
to this Agreement:
(A) YSI Texas shall be excluded from the
transactions consummated on the Closing Date.
(B) The Schedules to this Agreement shall be
deemed to be revised to (I) eliminate YSI Texas as one of the
Subsidiaries, and (II) remove any content, descriptions or figures
from the schedules that have to do with YSI Texas.
-39-
50
(C) The Base Purchase Price shall be reduced from
$17,500,000 to $16,000,000, and the Base Net Working Capital Figure
shall be increased to $4,072,685.
(D) The Purchaser and the Seller shall execute at
the Closing (I) a Put Option Agreement and (II) a Right of First
Refusal Agreement, each in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 4.26(c)(ii)(D)-1 and 4.26(c)(ii)(D)-2, respectively.
4.27 YSI Guaranty. In the event that YSI Texas is acquired by YFCS,
whether such acquisition is effected at the Closing, as originally contemplated
by the parties, or pursuant to exercise of the Put Option Agreement, as provided
in Section 4.26(c)(ii)(D), YSI agrees that it shall remain liable under the
terms of the Guaranty in favor of Meditrust of College Station of the
obligations of the "Tenant" under College Station Lease, so long as YSI Texas or
any other corporation or entity controlled by the Purchaser remains the Tenant
thereunder unless and until the Landlord thereunder shall agree to release YSI
from its obligations under such Guaranty without consideration of any kind
(other than the agreement contained in Section 9.3 hereof) in connection
therewith from the Purchaser or any other corporation or entity controlled by
the Purchaser.
SECTION 5
TERMINATION
5.1 Grounds for Termination. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder may
be terminated on or prior to the Closing Date, as follows:
(a) By Purchaser (i) in the event that the transactions
contemplated hereunder have been prohibited or enjoined by reason of any final
judgment, decree or order entered or issued by a court of competent jurisdiction
in litigation or proceedings involving either Purchaser, YSI, the Seller or the
Company; (ii) in the event the conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligation to
close are not satisfied and performed in full (or waived in writing by the
Purchaser) at or prior to close of business on October 31, 1997; or (iii) in the
event YSI or the Seller breaches or violates any material provision of this
Agreement or fails to perform any material covenant or agreement to be performed
by YSI or the Seller under the terms of this Agreement, and such breach,
violation or failure is not cured or waived by Purchaser prior to Closing,
provided, however, that the right of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(ii) shall not be available if the failure to satisfy
such conditions on or before such date was caused by or resulted from the
failure of the Purchaser to perform any of the material obligations to be
performed by it prior to or as of the Closing under this Agreement.
-40-
51
(b) By YSI or the Seller (i) in the event that the transactions
contemplated hereunder have been prohibited or enjoined by reason of any final
judgment, decree or order entered or issued by a court of competent jurisdiction
in litigation or proceedings involving YSI, Purchaser, the Seller or the
Company; (ii) in the event the conditions precedent to the obligation of YSI and
the Seller to close are not satisfied and performed in full (or waived in
writing by YSI) at or prior to close of business on October 31, 1997; or (iii)
in the event Purchaser breaches or violates any material provision of this
Agreement or fails to perform any material covenant or agreement to be performed
by Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, and such breach, violation or
failure is not cured or waived by YSI or the Seller prior to Closing; provided,
however, that the right of YSI and the Seller to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii) shall not be available if the failure to satisfy
such conditions on or before such date was caused by or resulted from the
failure of YSI or the Seller to perform any of the material obligations to be
performed by them prior to or as of the Closing under this Agreement.
(c) By YSI, the Seller and Purchaser by mutual agreement.
5.2 Consequences of Termination. (a) Each party's right of
termination under Section 5.1 hereof is in addition to any other rights such
party may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of
termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 5.1, all further obligations of the parties under this
Agreement shall terminate, except for those which survive termination expressly
under the terms hereof, and except that the obligations in Section 4.5 and
Section 10 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated
by a party because of the breach of this Agreement by another party or because
one or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this
Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to
pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event that, at or before the close of business on October 31, 1997, the
Purchaser has not obtained such financing as will provide the Purchaser with
funds sufficient to pay to the Seller the Purchase Price for the Shares, and, as
of such time, YSI and the Seller shall (A) have performed or complied with all
of the covenants or agreements required to be performed or complied with by each
of them prior to the Closing in order to satisfy the conditions to the
obligation of the Purchaser to close, and (B) be ready, willing and able to take
such other actions as are reasonably required in order to effect the Closing;
Purchaser shall thereupon be and become obligated to make payment to YSI on such
date in an amount equal to $650,000.00, such payment to constitute liquidated
damages to YSI for the damages it will have incurred by reason of entering into
an agreement to deal exclusively with the Purchaser in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby
-41-
52
from the date of the execution and delivery hereof through such date (which
damages are not reasonably ascertainable as of the date hereof). In such event,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) such remedy shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of YSI and the Seller by reason of such failure on the
part of the Purchaser, (ii) neither YSI nor Seller shall have the right to any
other remedy by reason of such failure; in either such case unless the Purchaser
shall have breached its obligation under Section 4.14 thereof.
5.3 Risk of Loss. The Seller Companies shall bear all risk of
condemnation, destruction, loss or damage due to fire or other casualty from the
date of this Agreement through the Closing. If the condemnation, destruction,
loss or damage is such that the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries
(taken as a whole) is materially interrupted or curtailed, then the Purchaser
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. If the condemnation,
destruction, loss or damage is such that the business is neither interrupted nor
curtailed materially and the assets are not materially affected, or if the
business of the Company is curtailed or interrupted or the assets are materially
affected, and the Purchaser nevertheless foregoes the right to terminate this
Agreement, then the consideration payable hereunder shall be adjusted at Closing
to reflect such condemnation, destruction, loss or damage to the extent that
insurance proceeds are not sufficient to cover such destruction, loss or damage.
If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to agree upon the amount of such
adjustment, then the dispute shall be resolved jointly by the independent
accounting firms then employed by the Seller and the Purchaser, and if said
accounting firms do not agree, they shall appoint the Independent Accountants to
make such determination, whose determination of the dispute shall be final and
binding. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne
one-half by the Purchaser and one-half by the Seller if engaged pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.3.

Seller may, by written agreement:

other actions of the parties hereto;
(b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant thereto;
(c) waive compliance with any of the covenants or conditions
contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that a party may waive any or
all of the conditions

parties; and
(d) amend this Agreement in any other respect. Any and all
amendments shall be effective only if made in writing by all parties.

Agreement dated March 27, 1996, by and among YSI, YSI-Florida and American

9.4 Procedures for Indemnification.
(a) An Indemnification Claim shall be made by an
Indemnitee by delivery of a written notice to the Indemnitor requesting
indemnification and specifying the basis on which indemnification is sought and
the amount of asserted Losses and, in the case of a Third Party Claim,
containing (by attachment or otherwise) such other information as such
Indemnitee shall have concerning such Third Party Claim.
(b) If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third Party
Claim the procedures set forth in Section 9.5 hereof shall be observed.
(c) If the Indemnification Claim involves a matter
other than a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) calendar
days to object to such Indemnification Claim by delivery of a written notice of
such objection to the Indemnitee specifying in reasonable detail the basis for
such objection. Failure to timely so object shall constitute a final and binding
acceptance of the Indemnification Claim by the
-49-
60
Indemnitor, and the Indemnification Claim shall be paid in accordance with
subsection (d) hereof. If an objection is timely interposed by the Indemnitor
and the dispute is not resolved by the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor within
fifteen (15) business days from the date the Indemnitee receives such objection,
such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section 13.9 of
this Agreement.
(d) Upon determination of the amount of an
Indemnification Claim, whether by agreement between the Indemnitor and the
Indemnitee or by an arbitration award or by any other final adjudication, the
Indemnitor shall pay the amount of such Indemnification Claim within ten (10)
business days of the date such amount is determined.
9.5 Third Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereunder with respect to a Third Party Claim shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor written
notice of a Third Party Claim promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of
notice thereof, and the Indemnitor may undertake the defense, compromise and
settlement thereof by representatives of its own choosing reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnitee. The failure of the Indemnitee to notify the Indemnitor of
such claim shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have
with respect to such claim except to the extent the Indemnitor demonstrates that
the defense of such claim is prejudiced by such failure. The assumption of the
defense, compromise and settlement of any such Third Party Claim by the
Indemnitor shall be an acknowledgment of the obligation of the Indemnitor to
indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such claim hereunder. If the Indemnitee
desires to participate in, the defense, compromise and settlement of any claim
being defended by the Indemnitor, it may do so at its sole cost and expense. If,
however, the Indemnitor fails or refuses to undertake the defense of such Third
Party Claim within ten (10) business days after written notice of such claim has
been given to the Indemnitor by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall have the
right to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of such claim with
counsel of its own choosing. In the circumstances described in the preceding
sentence, the Indemnitee shall, promptly upon its assumption of the defense of
such claim, make an Indemnification Claim as specified in Section 9.4 which
shall be deemed an Indemnification Claim that is not a Third Party Claim for the
purposes of the procedures set forth herein.
(b) If, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, any
Third Party Claim or the litigation or resolution thereof involves an
issue or matter which could have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, assets, properties or prospects of the Indemnitee (including,
without limitation, the administration of the tax returns and responsibilities
under the tax laws of the Indemnitee), the Indemnitee shall have the right to
control the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third Party Claim
undertaken by the Indemnitor, and the costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in
connection therewith
-50-
61
shall be included as part of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnitor
hereunder. If the Indemnitee shall elect to exercise such right, the Indemnitor
shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense, compromise
and settlement of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense.
(c) No settlement of a Third Party Claim involving the
asserted liability of the Indemnitor under this Section 9.5 shall be made
without the prior written consent by or on behalf of the Indemnitor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent shall be presumed
in the case of settlements of $10,000 or less where the Indemnitor has not
responded within five (5) business days of notice of a proposed settlement. If
the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such a Third Party Claim, (a) no
compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnitor without the
Indemnitee's consent unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any
violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on
any other claim that may be made against the Indemnitee (ii) the sole relief
provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor and (iii)
the compromise or settlement includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the
giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee, from all liability in respect of
such Third Party Claim, and (b) the Indemnitee shall have no liability with
respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent.
(d) In connection with the defense, compromise or
settlement of any Third Party Claim, the parties to this Agreement shall execute
such powers of attorney as may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to permit
participation of counsel selected by any party hereto and, as may reasonably be
related to any such claim or action, shall provide access to the counsel,
accountants and other representatives of each party during normal business hours
to all properties, personnel, books, tax records, contracts, commitments and all
other business records of such other party and will furnish to such other party
copies of all such documents as may reasonably be requested (certified, if
requested).
9.6 Exclusive Remedies. Except to the extent that an Indemnitee
shall elect to pursue its equitable remedies in respect of the breach or
threatened breach of any of the provisions hereof for which such a remedy is
available, and except to the extent that an Indemnitee shall seek to recover
monetary damages in respect of a breach of any of the provisions of Section
4.10, following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of each of the
parties hereto with respect to any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty,
covenant or agreement by the other party or parties hereto shall be an
Indemnification Claim under the provisions of this Section 9.
9.7 Survival. The representations and warranties in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing as indicated in Section 13.2 hereof.
-51-
62
9.8 Tax Effect and Insurance. The liability of the Indemnitor with
respect to any Indemnification Claim shall be reduced by the tax benefit
actually realized and any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnitee as a
result of any Losses upon which such Indemnification Claim is based, and shall
include any tax detriment actually suffered by the Indemnitee as a result of
such Losses. The amount of any such tax benefit or detriment shall be determined
by taking into account the effect, if any and to the extent determinable, of
timing differences resulting from the acceleration or deferral of items of gain
or loss resulting from such Losses and shall otherwise be determined so that
payment by the Indemnitor of the Indemnification Claim, as adjusted to give
effect to any such tax benefit or detriment, will make the Indemnitee as
economically whole as is reasonably practical with respect to the Losses upon
which the Indemnification Claim is based. Any dispute as to the amount of such
tax benefit or detriment shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section
13.9 hereof.
9.9 Subrogation. Upon payment in full of any Indemnification Claim,
whether such payment is effected by set-off or otherwise, or the payment of any
judgment or settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall
be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnitee
against any person or entity with respect to the subject matter of such
Indemnification Claim or Third Party Claim.
9.10 Basket Amounts. Anything hereinabove to the contrary
notwithstanding, (i) YSI and the Seller shall not be liable for any Losses to
Purchaser except to the extent that such Losses exceed, in the aggregate,
$100,000.00, (ii) Purchaser shall not be liable for any Losses to YSI or the
Seller, except to the extent that such losses, damages or deficiencies exceed,
in the aggregate, $100,000.00, and, (iii) in addition to the foregoing, YSI and
the Seller shall not be liable for any Losses to Purchaser on account of the
breach of any representation or warranty in Section 2.18 except to the extent
that any such Losses exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000, provided that (A) the
limitations on the liability of the Purchaser provided for herein shall not
apply to any failure of the Purchaser to observe or comply with its obligations
under Sections 1.4, 1.5(d), 4.12 or 5.2(b) hereof or the indemnification
obligation under Section 9.3(d); and (B) the limitations on the liability of YSI
and the Seller provided for herein shall not apply to a breach of Section 2.17
hereof, any failure of YSI or the Seller to observe or comply with its or their
obligations under Sections 1.5(d) or 4.12 hereof or the indemnification
obligation reflected in Section 9.2(d), (e) and (f) hereof.
9.11 Limitation of Liability of the Seller and YSI. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, neither the Seller nor YSI shall be liable for
any Losses under Section 9.2 to Purchaser, in the aggregate, in excess of the
sum of (i) the Purchase Price and (ii) the Contingent Consideration Amount, if
any.
9.12 Limitation of Purchaser Liability. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, Purchaser shall not be liable for any Losses under Section
9.3 to YSI or
-52-
63
the Seller, in the aggregate, in excess of the sum of (i) the Purchase Price and
(ii) the Contingent Consideration Amount, if any.

facilitate its financing of the Purchase Price or by any third party having
business dealings with any of the Subsidiaries (including, without limitation,

same. To the extent that such costs or expenses shall exceed $10,000 in the
