9.5.4 Use of Name Covenant. Neither the name “Nulton Diagnostic & Treatment Center, P.C.” nor “Nulton” is being transferred to CBH pursuant to the Contribution. Following Closing, neither Buyer nor CBH shall use or refer to the name “Nulton Diagnostic & Treatment Center, P.C.,” “Nulton” or any combination thereof, without the prior written consent of Shareholder, except that CBH may refer to itself as “Formerly part of the behavioral health rehabilitation services and partial hospitalization program services of ‘Nulton Diagnostic & Treatment Center, P.C.” until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date.

9.5.5 Enforcement of Covenants. The parties hereto declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to a party or parties in the event that the other party or parties breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.5 (“Restrictive Covenants”). In the event that a party or parties breaches any such Restrictive Covenant, the other party or parties shall be entitled to an injunction, a restraining order or such other equitable relief, including, but not limited to, specific performance (without the requirement to post bond), restraining the breaching party, from violating such Restrictive Covenant. The breaching party hereby waive the claim or defense that the other party has an adequate remedy at law and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that the other party has an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereby agree that the Restricted Period shall be extended, by any period during which a breaching party is found to be in violation of, or to have violated, these Restrictive Covenants.

9.5.6 Acknowledgements. Buyer is acquiring the Business ( including its goodwill, staff, internal and external processes, customers, and other proprietary information) and paying the Purchase Price in anticipation of operating the Business in the counties where it presently is being operated, expanding the Business to the three counties NDTC and/or the Shareholder has entered into expansion negotiations or contemplated expansion, the so called T-Bone counties, the counties where Pottsville Behavioral Services, Inc. and ReDco , Inc. operate and all counties contiguous to the aforementioned counties plus the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Each of NDTC and the Shareholder is aware of Buyer’s intentions and acknowledges that Buyer has stated that the Purchase Price Buyer is willing to pay would be substantially less without the Restrictive Covenants. NDTC and the Shareholder has agreed to in this Section 9. Each of NDTC and the Shareholder acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Buyer’s legitimate business interests.

9.5.7 Scope. If any portion of any Restrictive Covenant or its application is construed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remaining portions and their application shall not be affected thereby, and shall be enforceable without regard thereto. If any of the Restrictive Covenants is ever disputed or determined to be unenforceable because of its scope, duration, geographical area or other similar factor, then the court or other trier of fact making such determination shall modify, reduce or limit such scope, duration, area or other factor, and enforce such Restrictive Covenant to the extent it believes is lawful and appropriate.

9.6 Tax Election. Shareholder shall join with Buyer in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under foreign, state and local Tax Laws) with respect to the purchase and sale of the CBH Stock hereunder (a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). Shareholder will include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Within thirty (30) days following the determination of the Final Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.2.3 hereof, Shareholder shall prepare and send to Buyer the CBH Allocation prepared in accordance with Exhibit 9.6. Shareholder and Buyer agree to file IRS Forms 8023 and 8883 and all federal, state and local Tax Returns in accordance with such CBH Allocation. Shareholder and Buyer shall notify and provide the other with reasonable assistance in the event of an examination, audit or other Proceeding regarding the allocation determined pursuant to this Section 9.6. Shareholder and Buyer shall not take any position in any Tax Return, Tax Proceeding or audit that is inconsistent with such CBH Allocation.

9.7 SEC Compliance. To the extent requested by Buyer, NDTC and the Shareholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer, upon reasonable request of Buyer, with respect to Buyer’s completion of any audit procedures necessary for Buyer to comply with its Securities and Exchange Commission filings required to be made in connection with the signing of this Agreement and the Closing, including causing each Company’s current accountants and auditors to cooperate with Buyer, provided however that Buyer pays any fees and expenses related thereto. The Companies and the Shareholder acknowledge that Buyer anticipates being required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission up to two (2) prior years of audited and financial statements for the Business within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date and agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer to enable Buyer to meet the anticipated filing obligations.

Buyer shall, in the ordinary course of business and for as long as required by Law, keep and preserve all financial, medical, personnel records and other records of the Companies and relating to the Business, existing as of the Closing Date and which constitute a part of the Assets delivered to Buyer at Closing. Buyer acknowledges that as a result of entering into this Agreement and operating CBH it will gain access to patient and other information which is subject to rules and regulations concerning confidentiality.

From the Closing Date through midnight on June 30, 2005, NDTC will continue to maintain its health care plan and such health care plan shall continue to cover the employees transferred to CBH from NDTC pursuant to the Contribution and remain with the Company. NDTC will be reimbursed for the cost of continuing such coverage for the specified period as set forth in Section 9.9.

9.10 Employee Benefit Plan Transition. CBH shall not adopt, sponsor, maintain, contribute to or be required to contribute to any of the Employee Benefit Plans of NDTC. NDTC shall indemnify and hold harmless CBH and Buyer from any and all liabilities relating to the Employee Benefit Plans of NDTC. All employees of CBH shall be fully vested in all of their respective benefits (including contributions made on their behalf) under the Employee Benefit Plans at NDTC.

All collections under such Accounts Receivable shall be endorsed over and delivered to CBH within one business day following such collection. The obligations contained in this Section 9.11 are secured by a Security Agreement from NDTC to CBH dated the date hereof.

10.1 Indemnification by CBH, NDTC and Shareholder. CBH (prior to Closing only), NDTC and the Shareholder (together, the “Seller Group”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates and Buyer’s successors and assigns (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party” or, collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, debts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs (“Loss”, or “Losses”), arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, any of the following; provided, the determination of the amount of Losses shall be made without regard to any materiality qualification (although determination of breaches shall be made with regard to materiality):

10.1.1 Any misrepresentation, breach or failure of any warranty or representation made by the Seller Group in or pursuant to this Agreement (without regard to any supplement to the disclosure schedules), it being the agreed intention of the parties that for purposes of this Section, in determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty made by any of the Seller Group in this Agreement, such representations and/or warranties shall be deemed to have been made without limitation based upon any standard of materiality, notwithstanding any language contained in any such Section that would otherwise have the effect of so limiting any representation or warranty set forth therein. It is understood by the parties that the representations and warranties made by the Seller Group in this Agreement survive until the Expiration Date (as set forth in Section 12.4 herein).

10.1.2 Any failure or refusal by any of the Seller Group to satisfy or perform any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement that is required to be satisfied or performed by any or all of them.

The right of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to indemnification under this Section 10.1 shall not be affected by the fact that such deficiency, adjustment or assessment is made against or imposed upon a member of the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a result of the fact that, after the Closing Date, CBH shall be included in the consolidated federal income tax returns filed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties.

10.1.4 Company Obligations and Obligations of the Companies constituting long-term debt (including any short term portion of long term debt)..

10.1.5 Any Proceeding against the Buyer Indemnified Parties by any Person arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, any act or omission of NDTC or CBH, or any of its equity holders, managers, officers, employees, agents or representatives, occurring at any time on or before the Closing Date.

10.2.1 Any misrepresentation, breach or failure of any warranty or representation made by the Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement, it being the agreed intention of the parties that for purposes of this Section, in determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement, such representations and/or warranties shall be deemed to have been made without limitation based upon any standard of materiality, notwithstanding any language contained in any such Section that would otherwise have the effect of so limiting any representation or warranty set forth therein.

10.2.2 Any material failure or refusal by Buyer to satisfy or perform any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement that is required to be satisfied or performed by it.

10.3 Indemnification Procedures. With respect to each event, occurrence or matter (an “Indemnification Matter”) as to which Buyer or the Seller Group, as the case may be, (the “Indemnitee”) is entitled to indemnification from the Seller Group or Buyer, as the case may be, (the “Indemnitor”) under Section 10.1:

10.3.1 Within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee receives written documents underlying the Indemnification Matter or, if the Indemnification Matter does not involve a third party action, suit, claim or demand, after the Indemnitee first has actual knowledge of the Indemnification Matter, the Indemnitee shall give notice to the Indemnitor of the nature of the Indemnification Matter and the amount demanded or claimed in connection therewith (“Indemnification Notice”), together with copies of any such written documents.

10.3.2 If a third party action, suit, claim or demand is involved, then, upon receipt of the Indemnification Notice, the Indemnitor shall, at its expense and through counsel of its choice, promptly assume and have sole control over the litigation, defense or settlement (“Defense”) of the Indemnification Matter, except that (i) the Indemnitee may, at its option and expense and through counsel of its choice, participate in (but not control) the Defense; (ii) if the Indemnitee reasonably believes that the handling of the Defense by the Indemnitor may have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnitee, its business or financial condition, or its relationship with any patient, Referral Source, prospect, supplier, payer, employee, salesman, consultant, agent or representative, then the Indemnitee may, at its option and expense and through counsel of its choice, assume control of the Defense, provided that the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the Defense at its expense and through counsel of its choice; (iii) the Indemnitor shall not consent to any Judgment, or agree to any settlement, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent; and (iv) if the Indemnitor does not promptly assume control over the Defense or, after doing so, does not continue to prosecute the Defense in good faith, the Indemnitee may, at its option and through counsel of its choice, but at the Indemnitor’s expense, assume control over the Defense. In any event, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall fully cooperate with each other in connection with the Defense, including by furnishing all available documentary or other evidence as is reasonably requested by the other.

10.3.3 All amounts owed by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee (if any) shall be paid in full within ten (10) business days after a final Judgment (after allowing Indemnitor the option of exhausting all possible appeals) determining the amount owed is rendered, or after a final settlement or agreement as to the amount owed is executed. If the amounts owed by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee are not paid when due, interest shall accrue on such amount at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum compounded until paid in full.

10.4 Limits on Indemnification. The maximum liability that Buyer or the Seller Group, as applicable, may have with respect to claims for indemnification under Sections 10.2 and 10.1, respectively, will be an amount equal to Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00) plus the amount of the difference between (x) the Required Amount and (y) the Final Working Capital (if a positive amount) (for example and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Final Working Cap is $557,350, the Indemnification Cap is $5,500,000) (the “Indemnification Cap”), other than with respect to matters involving (i) fraud or misrepresentation, (ii) Authority (under Section 3.2.1 only); (iii) Questionable Payments, (iv) Title to Equity (v) Obligations of NDTC under Section 9.11 and (vi) Obligations of the the Companies and the Shareholder for fees, costs and expenses associated with the Transaction, including legal, accounting, investment banking fees, costs and expenses and any employee bonus payments (collectively, the “Carve-outs”). The Buyer and the Seller Group shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless for Losses until the aggregate amount of Losses accruing against the Buyer on one hand and the Sellers Group on the other hand, exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Threshold Amount”), after which the responsible party or parties shall be obligated for all Losses, as applicable, without regard to the Threshold Amount; provided however that the Threshold Amount shall not apply to Losses resulting from the Carve-outs; and provided further that the Threshold Amount shall equal Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) with regard to Losses resulting from breaches of Section 3.6 relating to solely to the December 31, 2004 statement of earnings.

10.5 Set-Off of Claims for Losses Against Note or Common Stock. In addition to all other available remedies, Buyer shall first deduct the amount of Losses from the principal balance under the Note or assert its rights against the Common Stock under the Pledge Agreement to satisfy any Indemnification Matters or Losses under this Section 10.
