ARTICLE II
ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Assume. At the Closing, Purchaser shall assume and agree to discharge and perform when due the liabilities and obligations of Seller described in Section 2.2 (the “Assumed Liabilities”). All other liabilities and obligations of Seller are collectively referred to herein as “Excluded Liabilities.” Seller shall remain liable for the Excluded Liabilities and shall pay, discharge and perform in full when due all of the Excluded Liabilities.

SECTION 2.2 Description of Assumed Liabilities. The following liabilities and obligations of SPP (and only the following liabilities and obligations) shall constitute the Assumed Liabilities:

(a) current commercial lease for SPP’s pharmacy facility, an accurate and current copy of which is attached hereto behind Schedule 2.2(a);

(b) any ad valorem tax obligation assessed and/or payable on or after January 1, 2007 with respect to the personal property of SPP included in the Purchased Assets;

(c) all liabilities and obligations (whether direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of SPP for payment or performance arising on or after the Closing Date pursuant to the contracts, agreements, Permits and Authorizations which are assumed by Purchaser on the Closing Date, but only to the extent such liabilities and obligations did not arise out of a breach of such contracts, agreements, Permits and Authorizations prior to the Closing Date;

(d) all liabilities and obligations (whether direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising) of SPP for all vacation and sick leave that had been validly earned but not used by SPP’s employees on or prior to April 30, 2007; and

SECTION 2.4 No Expansion of Third Party Rights. The assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall not expand the rights or remedies of any third party against Purchaser or Seller as compared to the rights and remedies which such third party would have had against Seller had Purchaser not assumed the Assumed Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall not create any third party beneficiary rights.

ARTICLE III
PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING

SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (“Purchase Price”) is equal to the net book value of the Purchased Assets as reflected on the books and records of SPP as of April 30, 2007 less the amount of accrued vacation of all SPP employees as reflected on the books and records of SPP as of April 30, 2007, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistent with past practices. Such value was equal to approximately $4,652,456 as of January 31, 2007 and will be subject to adjustments for inventory fluctuations and related prorations, if any. Taxes and assessments, if any, on the Purchased Assets shall be prorated at Closing, effective as of the Closing Date, utilizing the most recent tax/assessment information available to the parties. Prorations at Closing shall be deemed final.

SECTION 3.2 Physical Count of Inventory. To assist with the determination of the net book value described in Section 3.1 above, a physical count of SPP’s Inventory shall be conducted by SPP on April 29, 2007, in the ordinary course of its business; provided, however, that both Purchaser and Seller (and their respective representatives or agents) shall be allowed, at their respective sole cost and expense, to inspect such physical count. SPP shall make its most currently available price list/file available to Purchaser in advance of a physical count of the Inventory so Purchaser can use the same to verify the net book value calculation.

SECTION 3.3 Disputes Regarding Net Book Value Determination.

(a) Notice of Dispute. Purchaser and Seller shall have from the Closing Date until 5:00 p.m., Central time, on the date 30 days after the Closing Date (the “Dispute Period”) to dispute any elements of or amounts reflected in the calculation of the Inventory’s net book value, as calculated by Seller utilizing the physical inventory count provided for by Section 3.2 hereof, that affect the calculation of the Purchase Price (the “Dispute”), but only on the basis that the amounts reflected by SPP and used to calculate the Purchase Price are inaccurate or do not conform to the requirements of Sections 3.1 and 3.2. If Purchaser or Seller do not give written notice of the Dispute that sets forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts with which there is disagreement (a “Dispute Notice”) to the other parties hereto within the Dispute Period, Seller’s data shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by the parties in the form in which it was delivered and shall be final and binding upon the parties. If a Dispute Notice is properly delivered hereunder, Purchaser and Seller shall use their best efforts to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute and agree in writing upon a final resolution of the Dispute within 30 days after delivery of such Dispute Notice.

(b) Arbitrating Accountant. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve each element of the Dispute within the 30-day period after receipt of a Dispute Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that has not performed accounting, tax or auditing services for Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates during the past three years as the arbitrator of the Dispute (the “Arbitrating Accountant”). If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on the identity of the Arbitrating Accountant, Purchaser and Seller shall ask their respective independent accountants to select the Arbitrating Accountant. The Arbitrating Accountant’s function shall be to review only those disputed items included in the Consultant’s data and the application thereof to the calculation of the Purchase Price and to resolve such dispute(s).

(c) Dispute Resolution Mechanics. In connection with the resolution of the Dispute, the Arbitrating Accountant shall allow Purchaser and Seller to present their respective positions regarding the elements and data in dispute. The Arbitrating Accountant may, at its discretion, conduct a conference concerning the Dispute, at which conference Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to present

additional documents, materials and other information and to have present their respective advisors, counsel and accountants. In connection with the resolution of the Dispute, there shall be no other hearings or oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other similar proceedings. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall make available to the other party and the Arbitrating Accountant, as the case may be, such documents, books, records, work papers, facilities, personnel and other information as such party or the Arbitrating Accountant may reasonably request to review the calculation of the Purchase Price and to resolve the Dispute.

(d) Resolution of Dispute. The Arbitrating Accountant shall as promptly as possible, and in any event within 30 days after the date of its appointment, render its decision on the Dispute in writing to Purchaser and Seller together with a report including any revisions reflecting its decision. The Arbitrating Accountant’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment may be entered on the award. The Arbitrating Accountant shall determine the proportion of its fees and expenses to be paid by the Seller and Purchaser, based on the degree to which the Arbitrating Accountant has accepted the positions of the respective parties.

SECTION 3.4 Manner of Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price in full to Seller at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Seller’s written notice to Purchaser delivered at least two business days before the Closing Date.

(b) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price is subject to being finally determined in accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 3.3. If the Purchase Price as finally determined exceeds the Purchase Price paid by Maxor at Closing, such amount shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within two business days following the final determination of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Seller’s written notice to Purchaser. But if the Purchase Price as finally determined is less than the Purchase Price paid by Maxor at Closing, such amount shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser within two business days following the final determination of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Purchaser’s written notice to Seller. Any payment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be made together with interest on such payment from the Closing Date until the date of payment in full, at the short-term applicable federal rate.

SECTION 3.5 Time and Place of Closing. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated (the “Closing”) at 9:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Price, P.C., 000 X. Xxxx, Xxx. 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 on May 3, 2007, or on such other date, or at such other time or place, as shall be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. The date on which the Closing occurs in accordance with the preceding sentence is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 3.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in the manner required by Section 1060 of the Code as shown on an allocation schedule to be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller on or prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing, the parties will make consistent use of the allocations set forth in such allocation schedule for all purposes, including for purposes of any Tax Returns and any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594), or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 reflecting the agreed allocation, to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Any subsequent adjustment to the Purchase Price will be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Purchaser and Seller agree that

the form of the transactions, the consideration provided for in this Agreement and the allocation of the Purchase Price as provided above were arrived at on the basis of arm’s length negotiation between Purchaser and Seller, and shall be respected by each of them and their respective Affiliates for federal, state, local and other tax reporting purposes, including filings on Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and that none of them will assert or maintain a position inconsistent with the foregoing.

Prison Health Services, Inc. is a Delaware corporation organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Seller and PHS are in good standing under the laws of all jurisdictions where the nature of their respective businesses or the nature or location of their assets requires such qualification; except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Business as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted, or any material adverse change in the operations (including results of operations), assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) of the Business (each a "Material Adverse Effect”).

(b) Power and Authority. Seller and PHS have all necessary company or corporate power and authority to carry on the Business as the Business is now being conducted. Seller and PHS have full company or corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents to be executed or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Seller and PHS.

(c) Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and PHS and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Seller and PHS, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be affected by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and creditors’ rights and by the availability of injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3(d) attached hereto and incorporated herein and except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by Seller or PHS, nor the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any statute or administrative regulation, or of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental authority or of any arbitration award binding on any Seller or to which any Seller is a party.

(e) Other Consents and Conflicts. Neither the execution nor delivery of the Transaction Documents by Seller, or PHS nor the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of SPP’s operating agreement or articles of organization nor will such conduct conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of PHS’s bylaws, articles of incorporation or shareholder agreements (if any). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3(e) attached hereto and incorporated herein, neither Seller nor PHS is not a party to any material unexpired, undischarged or unsatisfied written or oral contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage, debenture, note or other instrument under the terms of which performance by any of them according to the terms of the Transaction Documents will be a default or an event of acceleration, or grounds for termination, modification or cancellation, or whereby timely performance by any such entity according to the terms of the Transaction Documents may be prohibited, prevented or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PHS makes no representations or warranties as to whether performance in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents will be a default or an event of acceleration, or grounds for termination, modification or cancellation of its contracts and agreements for the provision of correctional health services. PHS shall use its best efforts to obtain consents from its clients, as may be required, for Buyer to serve as PHS’ pharmacy services supplier or subcontractor on those correctional health services contracts and agreements in which Seller currently provides such pharmacy services.

(f) Financial Statements. Copies of the unaudited balance sheet and statement of operations of SPP as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “Financial Statements”), are contained in the Disclosure Schedule. Copies of the unaudited balance sheets and statements of operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (the “Interim Financial Statements”) are also contained in the Disclosure Schedule. The Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SPP as of the dates thereof and the results of operations of SPP

for the periods covered by said statements, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied through the periods covered thereby, except, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, for normal year-end adjustments.

SECTION 9.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice of Claim. Any party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (“Indemnified Party”) agrees to give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (“Indemnifying Party”) of such claims and any Damages related thereto as promptly as practicable after learning of the claim or other facts and circumstances giving rise to such Damages. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. The notice shall specify whether the Damages are related to a Third Party Claim or whether the Damages are not so related (“Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity, to the extent that the information is readily available to the Indemnified Party, the factual basis for the Third Party Claim or the Direct Claim.

(b) Direct Claims. With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as is considered necessary or desirable by the Indemnifying Party. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall promptly make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, in each case other than privileged documents and subject to the Indemnifying Party’s agreement to keep such information confidential. If both Parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension of such period) to the validity of such Direct Claim and the amount of Damages related thereto, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed-upon amount of such Damages, subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.4. If the Parties do not reach agreement at or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension of such period) as to the validity of such Direct Claim or the amount of Damages related thereto, either Party may initiate an action to have the matter determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Third Party Claims. With respect to any Third Party Claim, upon acknowledgement to the Indemnified Party in writing by the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Article IX with respect to the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense and in its sole discretion, to appoint counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by any Indemnified Party, except as set forth below. Notwithstanding an Indemnifying Party’s election to appoint counsel to represent an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its expense and in its sole discretion; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within 15 days after notice of the institution of such Third Party Claim. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party defends or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person. No Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised (A) by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (B) by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement contains an unconditional release by the Third Party of all liability (including any restriction on the Indemnified Party’s business, operations or assets) of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing that such Third Party Claim is the subject of indemnity under Article IX. The Indemnified Party shall promptly make available to the Indemnifying Party and allow the Indemnifying Party to copy all records, documents and other evidence in the Indemnified Party’s possession that are relevant to the defense of any Third Party Claim, other than privileged documents and subject to the Indemnifying Party’s agreement to keep such information confidential.

ARTICLE X
TERMINATION

SECTION 10.1 General. The parties shall have the rights and remedies with respect to the termination and/or enforcement of this Agreement which are set forth in this Article X.

SECTION 10.2 Right to Terminate. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller; or

(b) by prompt notice given in accordance with Section 11.2, by either of such parties if the Closing shall not have occurred at or before 11:59 p.m. on May 3, 2007; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.2(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the aforesaid date.

SECTION 10.3 Certain Effects of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by any party as provided in Section 10.2, any party, if so requested by another party, will

return promptly every document furnished to it by the other party (or any Subsidiaries, division, associate or Affiliate of such other party) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement, and any copies thereof (except for copies of documents publicly available) which may have been made, and will use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and any representatives of financial institutions and investors and others to whom such documents were furnished promptly to return such documents and any copies thereof any of them may have made.

SECTION 10.4 Remedies. Notwithstanding any termination right granted in Section 10.2, in the event of the non-fulfillment of any condition to a party’s closing obligations, in the alternative, such party may elect to do one of the following:

(a) proceed to close, despite the non-fulfillment of any closing condition, it being understood that consummation of the Closing shall not be deemed a waiver of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or of such party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto;

(b) decline to close, terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 10.2, and thereafter seek damages to the extent permitted in Section 10.5; or

(c) seek specific performance of the obligations of the other party. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that in the event of any breach by any such party of this Agreement, the remedies available to the other party at law would be inadequate and that such party’s obligations under this Agreement may be specifically enforced.

SECTION 10.5 Right to Seek Damages. In the event of a termination hereunder, neither Seller nor Purchaser hereto shall have any right whatsoever to assert a claim against the other party, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any party to any other party, unless the circumstances giving rise to such termination were caused by either: (a) the other party’s failure to comply with a covenant set forth herein or (b) the other party’s material breach of a representation or warranty contained in Article IV, in which event termination shall not be deemed or construed as limiting or denying any legal or equitable right or remedy of the non-breaching party.

ARTICLE XI

Each exhibit, schedule and the Disclosure Schedule shall be considered incorporated into this Agreement. Any amendments, or alternative or supplementary provisions, to this Agreement, must be made in writing and duly executed by an authorized representative or agent of each of the parties hereto.

SECTION 11.5 Non-Waiver. The failure in any one or more instances of a party to insist upon performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, to exercise any right or privilege in this Agreement conferred, or the waiver by said party of any breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

SECTION 11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one instrument.

SECTION 11.7 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and, for purposes of such jurisdiction, such provision or portion thereof shall be struck from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction so as to best give effect to the intent of the parties under this Agreement.

SECTION 11.8 Binding Effect; Benefit. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any Person other than the parties hereto, and its successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, including third party beneficiary rights.

SECTION 11.9 Assignability. This Agreement shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of the parties; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights hereunder for collateral purposes to any of Purchaser’s financing sources that provide financing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or any of such financing sources’ successors or permitted assigns and any other lenders that may refinance any such financings).

SECTION 11.10 Rule of Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has negotiated and reviewed the terms of this Agreement, assisted by such legal and tax counsel as they desired, and has contributed to its revisions. The parties further agree that the rule of construction that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party will be subordinated to the principle that the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to all parties and not in favor of or against any party.

SECTION 11.11 Governmental Reporting. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to mean that a party hereto or other Person must make or file, or cooperate in the making or filing of, any return or report to any governmental authority in any manner that such Person or such party reasonably believes or reasonably is advised is not in accordance with law.

SECTION 11.12 Applicable Law. This Agreement has been executed and delivered in and shall be deemed to have been made in Tennessee. This Agreement shall be governed and controlled as to validity, enforcement, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal laws of the state of Tennessee applicable to contracts made in that state, without giving effect to any

choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Tennessee.

SECTION 11.13 Amendments. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing executed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

SECTION 11.14 Accounting Principles. The classification, character and amount of all assets, liabilities, capital accounts and reserves and of all items of income and expense to be determined, and any consolidation or other accounting computations to be made, and the interpretation of any definition containing any financial term, pursuant to this Agreement shall be determined and made in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any changes in GAAP are hereafter required or permitted and are adopted by Seller with the agreement of their independent certified public accountants and such changes result in one or more material changes in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, restrictions or standards used in the Financial Statements or in the Interim Financial Statements (“Material Accounting Changes”), the parties to this Agreement agree to enter into good faith negotiations to amend the provisions of this Agreement in a credit neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such Material Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Seller’s financial condition shall be the same after such Material Accounting Changes as if such changes had not been made. No Material Accounting Change shall be given effect in the calculations under this Agreement until the provisions of this Agreement are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Upon such amendment, all references in this Agreement to GAAP shall mean GAAP as of the date of such amendment, together with any changes in GAAP after the date thereof which are not Material Accounting Changes.

SECTION 11.15 References. The headings of Articles and Sections are provided for convenience only and should not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to an “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” refers to the corresponding article, section, schedule or exhibit of or to this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise. Any reference to a statute refers to the statute, any amendments or successor legislation, and all regulations promulgated under or implementing the statute, as in effect at the relevant time. Any reference to a contract, instrument or other document as of a given date means the contract, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time through such date.

SECTION 11.16 Other Construction Rules. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be construed to refer to such gender and number as the identity of the Person or Persons may require. The terms “include” and “including” indicate examples of a foregoing general statement and not a limitation on that general statement. Words such as “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,” and “hereinafter,” refer to this Agreement as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires.

SECTION 11.17 Prevailing Party. In the event that litigation arises between the parties hereto in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, the prevailing party in the litigation will be entitled to recover from the other party the reasonable attorney and paralegal fees and expenses incurred by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation.

SECTION 11.18 Definition of “Knowledge.” As used throughout this Agreement, the term “knowledge” means (a) with respect to Seller, the actual knowledge of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and Seller’s other management personnel and in such case, such information as such individuals would reasonably be expected to know in the ordinary course of business with respect to the matters as to which the word “knowledge” is used in this Agreement; and (b) with respect to PHS, the actual knowledge of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and

PHS’s other management personnel and in such case, such information as such individuals would reasonably be expected to know in the ordinary course of business with respect to the matters as to which the word “knowledge” is used in this Agreement.

SECTION 11.19 Guaranty. As a material inducement to Purchaser, PHS hereby unconditionally guarantees to Purchaser the full and prompt observance of all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. PHS is willing to guarantee such obligations since Seller is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PHS and Seller will be receiving a substantial amount of consideration from Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement. PHS guarantees the performance, when due, of all obligations of SPP under this Agreement. PHS agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses) incurred by Purchaser in enforcing, defending or declaring any rights under the Purchase Agreement. This guaranty of PHS shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations of Seller under the Purchase Agreement, as well as any document or instrument delivered in connection therewith, have been satisfied in full, as determined in the reasonable discretion of Purchaser.
