     2.2 Meeting. AHP, in accordance with applicable law and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the stockholder approval of the Reorganization Merger as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”).

     2.5 Agreement by HCMLP and Crusader to Vote for Reorganization Merger. HCMLP and Crusader hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the earliest to occur of (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) August 10, 2010, at any meeting (whether annual or special, and at each adjourned or postponed meeting) of the AHP stockholders, however called, or in any other circumstances (including any sought action by written consent) upon which a stockholder vote or other stockholder consent or stockholder approval is sought, HCMLP and Crusader will (y) appear at such a meeting or otherwise cause its Original Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and respond to any other request by AHP for written stockholder consent, (z) vote, or cause to be voted, or take such action by written stockholder consent with respect to, all of such AHP common stock beneficially owned by HCMLP and its affiliates as of the relevant time (I) in favor of the Reorganization Merger and any related proposals, (II) against any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition or inconsistent with, this Agreement, including the adoption thereof or the consummation thereof, and (III) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the consummation of the Reorganization Merger, the Debt Restructuring or the Offer. HCMLP and Crusader also hereby agree they will not transfer Original Shares of HCMLP or its affiliates (other than to an affiliate of HCMLP) without first obtaining a written proxy or voting agreement to vote in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5.

     2.6 AHP Board Recommendation of Merger; Other Actions. AHP represents and warrants that the AHP Board of Directors, as of the date hereof, has recommended that the stockholders of AHP approve the Reorganization Merger and the related items presented in the Proxy Statement (the “Merger Recommendation”) and directed the officers of AHP to include the Merger Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. AHP shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Reorganization Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, AHP, regardless of whether its Board of Directors has made a Change of Recommendation, will submit the Reorganization Merger to the stockholders of AHP at the Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of approving the Reorganization Merger.

     2.7 Change of Merger Recommendation. Neither the AHP Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, qualify or modify the Merger Recommendation in any manner or publicly propose to do so, or approve or recommend or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Alternative Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, if AHP receives a Superior Proposal and the Board of Directors of AHP determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that in light of such Superior Proposal the failure to withdraw, qualify or modify its Merger Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Board of Directors’ exercise of its fiduciary duties, the AHP Board of Directors may withdraw, qualify or modify the Merger Recommendation (a “Change of Recommendation”); provided, however, that AHP shall have first provided three Business Days’ prior written notice to HCMLP that it is prepared to effect a Change of Recommendation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail and include any draft agreements pertaining to such Superior Proposal.

     “Alternative Proposal” shall mean (i) any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person or group of persons other than HCMLP or one of its affiliates for a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation, or similar transaction involving AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) or any subsidiary of AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent), (ii) any proposal for the issuance by AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) of over 15% of its equity securities or (iii) any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, over 15% of the equity securities or consolidated total assets of AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) and its subsidiaries.

     “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Alternative Proposal (i) on terms which the Board of Directors of AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) determines in good faith, after consultation with AHP’s (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent’s) outside legal counsel, to be more favorable to the holders of Original Shares or Shares, as applicable, than the Offer, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement and (ii) that the Board of Directors of AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) believes is reasonably likely to be completed without undue delay, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal; provided, however, that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “15%” in the definition of “Alternative Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

     3.1 Terms of Self-Tender Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, New AHP Parent shall as promptly as practicable following the Merger Closing, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date of the Merger Closing (or such other later date as the HCMLP and AHP may mutually agree in writing) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) a self-tender offer for all outstanding Shares not held by HCMLP or its affiliates (the “Offer”) at $0.67 per share in cash (the “Per Share Amount”). The Per Share Amount shall be net to the seller in cash, subject to reduction only for any applicable federal backup withholding or stock transfer taxes payable by the seller.

Thereafter, HCMLP shall take all action and shall cause New AHP Parent to promptly (but in the event of a short form merger, within ten (10) business days) take all actions to effectuate a merger (whether short form or long form) (the “Follow-on Merger”) pursuant to which the remaining Shares not held by HCMLP and its affiliates will be cancelled in exchange for an amount equal to the Per Share Amount. In the Follow-on Merger, New AHP Parent shall cause each New AHP Parent Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Follow-on Merger to be cancelled and the holder of such New AHP Parent Option to, in full settlement of such New AHP Option, receive from New AHP Parent an amount (subject to any applicable withholding tax) in cash equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the exercise price per Share of such New AHP Parent Option multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such New AHP Parent Option (the aggregate amount of such cash hereinafter referred to as the “Option Consideration”).

resignations of each of their directors and cause the New Directors to be elected to their respective Boards of Directors. In the event that AHP or New AHP Parent is unable to secure the resignation of any of their respective directors, AHP or New AHP Parent, as applicable, shall promptly increase the size of its Board of Directors so that the New Directors shall be elected and constitute a majority of each Board of Directors, and shall cause the New Directors to constitute a majority of each committee of the Board of Directors.

Section 7. D&O Insurance; Indemnification.

     7.1 Continuance of Rights

          (a) All rights to exculpation and indemnification in favor of the directors and officers of AHP or New AHP Parent for their service as such for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the resignation of the AHP and the New AHP Parent directors following the Debt Restructuring becoming effective (the “Debt Closing”), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after such time (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), now existing in favor of the respective current or former directors, officers or employees (collectively, “Indemnitees”), shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years following the Debt Closing. AHP and New AHP Parent and their subsidiaries (the “Indemnitors”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to Indemnitees with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as directors and officers at any time prior to the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by the certificate of incorporation or charter documents and bylaws of AHP and New AHP Parent or any of their subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Debt Closing. For a period of six years following the Debt Closing, HCMLP agrees not to (and, for so long as it controls them, to not permit AHP or New AHP Parent to) amend, modify or terminate any such charter documents, bylaws or agreements in any manner adverse to the Indemnitees with respect to such rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses. As a condition precedent to any transaction that results in HCMLP no longer controlling AHP or New AHP Parent, HCMLP shall require the acquiror to expressly assume in writing the obligations of HCMLP set forth in this Section 7.1.

          (b) The Indemnitors shall have the right to defend each Indemnitee in any proceeding which may give rise to the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall notify such Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of written notice of any such pending or threatened claim or proceeding; and provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against such Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (x) includes an admission of fault of such Indemnitee or (y) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of such Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.1 upon learning of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Indemnitors thereof; provided, however, that the failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve any Indemnitor from any liability hereunder to the extent such Indemnitor is not materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

     7.2 Additional Coverage. Prior to the Acceptance Date, AHP and/or New AHP Parent shall obtain “tail” insurance policies that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the resignation of the Old Directors, with a claims period of six years, with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in amount and scope no less favorable than existing coverage; provided that in satisfying such obligation, the parties shall not be obligated to pay an aggregate tail insurance premium in excess of $1,331,000. During such six year period, in the event that there is an insolvency proceeding or receivership against such carrier, AHP, New AHP Parent and their subsidiaries shall (and HCMLP shall cause them to) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a commercially reasonable substitute for such period and at such coverage amounts. If AHP and/or New AHP Parent becomes aware of the availability of “tail” insurance policies from a reasonably acceptable insurance carrier that provide comparable or better coverage than the type set forth immediately above for less than $1,331,000, AHP and/or New AHP Parent agree to obtain such lower-priced “tail” insurance policies. Furthermore, AHP and/or New AHP Parent agree to execute any “broker of record” letters requested by HCMLP to facilitate obtaining quotations with respect to “tail” insurance policies.

     7.3 Third-Party Rights. Sections 7.1 and 7.2 are intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third-party rights to, the Indemnitees and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of HCMLP, AHP, New AHP Parent and their subsidiaries. The Indemnitees shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 7.1 and 7.2.

Section 8. Other Agreements.

     8.1 Confidentiality/Publicity. Except as required by applicable law, AHP on the one hand and HCMLP and the Holders on the other hand shall not, and shall not permit any of their subsidiaries to, make public disclosures in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of the other, except for any public filings to the extent required under federal or state securities laws or any other law or court process; provided that each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to make such filing without first consulting the other Parties.

     8.2 No-Shop. During the term of this Agreement, each of AHP and New AHP Parent agrees that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries shall, and that each shall cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (“Representative”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or initiate any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Alternative Proposal, (ii) knowingly encourage (including by providing information) or facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Alternative Proposal, (iii) engage or participate in any negotiations regarding, or provide or cause to be provided any non-public information or data relating to AHP or any of its subsidiaries in connection with, or have any discussions with any person relating to, an actual or proposed Alternative Proposal, or otherwise knowingly encourage or facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Alternative Proposal, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Alternative Proposal, (v) approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly announce an intention to approve, endorse or recommend, or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Alternative Proposal, or (vi) amend, terminate, waive or fail to enforce, or grant any consent under, any confidentiality, standstill or similar

agreement of AHP with respect to an Alternative Proposal. Notwithstanding anything in the prior sentence to the contrary, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Date, (i) AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) has received a written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that the AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) Board of Directors believes in good faith to be bona fide, (ii) neither AHP nor New AHP Parent has breached any provision of this Section 8.2, (iii) the AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (iv) after consultation with its outside counsel, the AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) Board of Directors determines in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with its duties to its shareholders under applicable law, then AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent) may (A) furnish information with respect to AHP to the person making such Acquisition Proposal and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that AHP and New AHP Parent (x) shall not, and shall not allow their respective subsidiaries or Representatives to, disclose any non-public information to such person without first entering into confidentiality agreement with such person on commercially reasonable terms and (y) shall promptly provide or make available to HCMLP any non-public information concerning AHP provided or made available to such other person which was not previously provided or made available to HCMLP.

     8.3 No Issuance. Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, during the term hereof, neither AHP, New AHP Parent or any of their subsidiaries shall authorize for issuance, issue, sell, deliver or agree or commit to issue, sell or deliver (whether through the issuance or granting of options, warrants, commitments, subscriptions, rights to purchase or otherwise) any shares of any class of capital stock or any other securities (except bank loans) or equity equivalents (including, without limitation, any stock options or stock appreciation rights) except for (i) the issuance and sale of Shares pursuant to options, performance-based restricted stock or deferred stock units previously granted or (ii) the issuance and sale of performance-based restricted stock pursuant to rights previously granted.

     8.4 Interim Covenants. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Acceptance Date, except as otherwise expressly provided or permitted by this Agreement or to the extent consented to by HCMLP in advance and in writing, AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent), shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, carry on its businesses in the usual, regular and ordinary course consistent with past practice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Acceptance Date, except as otherwise expressly provided or permitted by this Agreement or to the extent consented to by HCMLP in advance and in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent), shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to:

          (a) declare, set aside for payment or pay any dividends on, or make any other actual, constructive or deemed distributions (whether in cash, shares, property or otherwise) in respect of, any stock or other equity interests in AHP, New AHP Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries;

          (h) pay, discharge, settle, compromise or satisfy any material litigation, including any shareholder derivative or class action claims;

          (i) authorize, recommend, propose or announce an intention to adopt a plan of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, restructuring, recapitalization or other reorganization of AHP, New AHP Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries;

          (b) by HCMLP, if mailing of the Proxy Statement to stockholders does not take place on or before June 30, 2010;

     11.1 Binding Obligation . Subject to, in the case of AHP’s obligation to consummate the Reorganization Merger, the shareholder vote, this Agreement is a legally valid and binding obligation of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives.

     11.2 Assignment.No rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred to any other Person.

     11.3 Further Assurances. The Parties agree to execute and deliver such other instruments and perform such acts, in addition to the matters herein specified, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary, from time to time, to effectuate the agreements and understandings of the Parties, whether the same occurs before or after the date of this Agreement.

     11.8 Amendment. This Agreement may only be modified, altered, amended or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by AHP (or, after the Effective Date, New AHP Parent), HCMLP, and the Holders.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

     11.10 Specific Performance. The Parties understand and agree that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, and further understand

and agree that each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek (upon proper proof) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, including attorneys fees and costs, as a non-exclusive remedy of any such breach; provided, however, that each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such a remedy.
