1.8 Seller’s Operation of the Purchased Assets and Buyer’s Intended Use of the Purchased Assets.

(b) Seller Receivables. To compensate Seller for services rendered and medicine, drugs and supplies provided prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Straddle Patients, the following shall apply:

(i) Cut-off ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. To the extent that a payor will accept a cut-off billing, Seller shall prepare cut-off ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for all Straddle Patients as of the date immediately preceding the Closing Date. All payments which are received related to the cut-off ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be property of Seller.

(ii) Cut-off ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Not Accepted. If the payor of any Straddle Patient cannot or does not for any reason accept cut-off ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, then Buyer, to the extent Buyer has an agreement with such payor, shall submit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to such payor for the entire portion of such Straddle Patient’s stay. To the extent applicable, Buyer shall also provide a copy of all remittance advices or other documentation related thereto to Seller within five (5) days of submitting claims for Straddle Patients to payors.

(a) As of the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate all of its Hospital employees, and Buyer shall offer to hire all Hospital employees commencing as of the Closing Date (the “Hired Employees”) at their same salary and wage levels.

Buyer agrees that the Hired Employees shall be entitled to retain for use the extended illness benefit accrued while employed by Seller (“Extended Illness Benefit”), all of which shall be used in accordance with and subject to Buyer’s extended illness benefit plan. However, Buyer shall not be required to pay any Hired Employee for any unused Extended Illness Benefit.

(b) Within the period of ninety (90) days before the Closing, Seller shall not, and within the ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer shall not: (1) permanently or temporarily shut down a single site of employment, or one or more facilities or operating units within a single site of employment, if the shutdown results in an employment loss during any thirty (30) day period at the single site of employment for fifty (50) or more employees, excluding any part-time employees; or (2) have a mass layoff at a single site of employment of at least thirty-three percent (33%) of the active employees and at least fifty (50) employees, excluding part-time employees.

With respect to terminations of employees following the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for any notification required under the WARN Act. In respect of the employees employed by Buyer, it shall provide such employees with employee benefits consistent with the benefits generally offered to similarly-situated employees of Affiliates of Buyer in the same geographic area as the Hospital.

(c) Buyer will credit each eligible Hired Employee and their eligible dependents under applicable Buyer employee welfare benefit plans with any deductibles, co-payments or other cost-sharing amounts attributable to the Hired Employee or eligible dependent under the Seller’s employee welfare benefit plans, as the case may be, following receipt by Buyer of reasonable evidence of any such deductibles, co-payments and/or other cost-sharing amounts.

(d) In respect of the Hired Employees, Buyer shall provide employee benefits that are at least as favorable, on an aggregate basis, as those offered by Buyer to similarly-situated employees at similarly-situated hospitals owned or leased by Buyer. In providing benefits to Hired Employees under Buyer’s welfare benefit plans, Buyer shall waive pre-existing conditions limitations in Buyer’s welfare benefit plans which might otherwise apply to such employees and shall recognize the existing seniority and service credit with Seller of all such employees to provide credit under such plans for the purpose of determining eligibility and vesting and the rate of benefit accrual (but not actual benefit accrual), except to the extent the Hired Employee has not satisfied such limitations under the current welfare benefit plans of Seller or such waiver of pre-existing conditions is not permitted under one or more of Buyer’s

- 35 -

short-term or long-term disability plans provided through insurance contracts or policies. Buyer shall give all Hired Employees credit for their years of service with the Seller for the purpose of determining benefits under Buyer’s vacation, sick pay and other paid time off programs.

11.11 Contract Rights Not Assigned. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any third party consents to the assignment of the Contracts.

11.12 Defeasance of Bonds. Seller shall maintain the Bond Defeasance Escrow Account in the form presented to Buyer at Closing. Seller shall not withdraw funds from the Bond Defeasance Escrow Account or use the funds deposited therein except to defease or redeem and/or fund the debt service on the portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County Hospital Authority Revenue Anticipation Certificates (Southern Regional Medical Center Project), Series 1998A, attributable to the acquisition of the Purchased Assets (the “Allocated Portion of the Bonds”). Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall defease or redeem the Allocated Portion of the Bonds and provide Buyer evidence of the same.

For a period of sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall permit Buyer to continue to use all electronic and printed forms and policies (the “Hospital Forms”) historically used by Seller in connection with the operation of the Hospital, regardless of whether such forms contain Seller’s trade names, trademarks and/or service marks.

If, during the period from the Closing Date to the sixth (6th) anniversary thereof, Buyer receives a bona fide offer from a third party which it intends to accept to purchase or lease substantially all of the assets of the Hospital or the membership interests of the Buyer as a stand alone facility/entity (and not as part of a larger purchase of hospitals/entities), Buyer shall provide Seller a written notice describing the terms of the offer (a “Purchase Offer Notice”), and Seller or its successor non-profit organization or foundation (the “Hospital Purchaser”), shall have the right of first refusal described in this Section 12.1 to repurchase all of the assets of the Hospital on the terms and at the price described in the Purchase Offer Notice and such additional terms as Buyer and Seller may agree. Upon receipt of a Purchase Offer Notice, the Hospital Purchaser may exercise its right of first refusal, if at all, by: (i) sending Buyer, or such other party designated in the Purchase Offer Notice, a written notice within ten (10) days following the receipt of a Purchase Offer Notice (the “Right of First Refusal Period”) informing Buyer of the Hospital Purchaser’s intent to exercise its right of first refusal; and (ii) within ten (10) days of so notifying Buyer, negotiating and executing definitive

- 36 -

If the Hospital Purchaser exercises its right of first refusal as set forth herein, the closing of the sale of the Hospital shall occur within fifty (50) days from the date of exercise, or the date for Closing described in the Purchase Offer Notice, whichever is later. In any instance where the third party purchaser changes or the terms of such third party offer to purchase changes, the Hospital shall be afforded an additional right of first refusal in accordance with this Section 12.1.

12.2 Sales to Certain Entities. If, following the Closing Date (and regardless of the temporal limitations set forth in Sections 12.1), Buyer receives a bona fide offer from a Disqualified Purchaser (as hereafter defined) which Buyer intends to accept to purchase or lease substantially all of the assets of the Hospital or the membership interests of the Buyer as a stand alone facility/entity (and not as part of a larger purchase of hospitals/entities), Buyer shall provide Seller a written notice, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 14.13 hereof, describing the terms of the offer (a “Disqualified Offer Notice”), and the Hospital Purchaser, shall have the right of first refusal described in this Section 12.2 to repurchase all of the assets of the Hospital on the terms and at the price described in the Disqualified Offer Notice and upon such additional terms as Buyer and Seller may agree.

If Hospital Purchaser fails to exercise its right of first refusal in the manner described above, or if Hospital Purchaser provides Buyer written notice during the Disqualified Refusal Period of Hospital Purchaser’s intent not to exercise the right of first refusal, then Buyer shall be free, for the following twelve (12) month period to consummate the transaction described in the Disqualified Offer Notice and the rights of Seller contained in this Section 12.2 shall be of no further force and effect thereafter. If Hospital Purchaser exercises its right of first refusal as set forth herein, the closing of the sale of the Hospital shall occur within fifty (50) days from the date of exercise, or the date for Closing described in the Disqualified Offer Notice, whichever is earlier.

- 37 -

12.3 Closure of Hospital. If Buyer or its successor determines that it is uneconomic to maintain the Hospital as a licensed psychiatric facility, and intends to close the Hospital at any time following Closing, it shall provide the Seller written notice, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 14.13 hereof, of such fact (a “Closure Notice”) along with an appraisal of the property, plant and equipment, and thereafter the Hospital Purchaser shall have the option described in this Section 12.3 to repurchase all of the assets of Hospital for the Closure Purchase Price (as hereafter defined) and upon such additional terms as Buyer and Seller may agree. Upon receipt of a Closure Notice, the Hospital Purchaser may exercise its option, if at all, by: (i) sending Buyer, or such other party designated in the Closure Notice, a written notice within ten (10) days following the receipt of the Closure Notice (the “Closure Option Period”) informing Buyer of the Hospital Purchaser’s intent to exercise its option; and (ii) within ten (10) days of so notifying Buyer, negotiating and executing definitive agreements with Buyer agreeing to repurchase all of the assets of Hospital for the Closure Purchase Price and containing such additional terms as Buyer and Seller may agree.

(c) If Seller does not, in good faith, agree that some or all of the items described in the Payout Certificate constitute Losses pursuant to Section 13.2, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and use its best efforts to resolve the matter with Buyer within ten (10) days of receiving the Payout Certificate.

(d) If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve the matter within ten (10) business days of receiving the Payout Certificate, and Seller does not, in good faith, agree that some or all of the items described in the Payout Certificate constitute Losses pursuant to Section 13.2, Seller shall, within such time period, provide Buyer a written notice specifying in reasonable detail (i) the amount of the liabilities that Seller believes are not Losses as to which Seller is refusing to provide indemnification (the “Reserved Amounts”), and (ii) the nature and basis for claiming that such items are not Losses (the “Notice of Dispute”);

(e) Contemporaneously with providing a Notice of Dispute, Seller shall pay the Reserved Amounts in full by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account (as defined in the Escrow Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) Seller shall not have any obligations to pay Reserved Amounts to the Escrow Account until the Reserved Amounts (together with any other Reserved Amounts which previously were the subject of a Notice of Dispute) in the individual or aggregate total amount of at least Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000); and (ii) the Reserved Amount payable to the Escrow Account shall not exceed an aggregate amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Maximum Reserved Amount”); provided, however, that such Maximum Reserved Amount shall apply only to the amount that Seller must contribute to the Escrow Account nor shall anything herein limit or cap the amount of Losses for which Seller may be liable under Section 13.2 or in any way delay its obligation to promptly pay for Losses incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties.

(f) If Seller does not pay Buyer the amount set forth in the Payout Certificate or pay to the Escrow Account the Reserved Amounts within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the Payout Certificate, then:

- 40 -

(i) all amounts described in the Payout Certificate shall be deemed to be definitively and finally owed to Buyer (and Seller appoints Buyer as its attorney-in-fact, with full substitution in the premises, to confess judgment of such amount in any court of competent jurisdiction, such right to be deemed coupled with an interest and irrevocable);

(ii) all unpaid amounts described in the Payout Certificate shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the lower of 10% per annum or the highest amount payable under applicable law from the date due until the date paid; and

(iii) Seller shall pay any legal fees incurred by Buyer in enforcing the provisions of Section 13.5(e).

(g) The cost of maintaining the Escrow Account shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer.

14. Miscellaneous.

14.1 Schedules and Other Instruments. Each Schedule and Exhibit to this Agreement shall be considered a part hereof as if set forth herein in full. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller or Buyer may update their Schedules, subject to the other party’s approval rights described below. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all Schedules, Exhibits, or other instruments provided for herein and not delivered at the time of execution of this Agreement or which are incomplete at the time of execution of this Agreement shall be delivered or completed within ten (10) days after the date hereof or prior to the Closing, whichever is sooner. It shall be deemed a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties hereto that each of the Schedules, Exhibits, and related documents, instruments, books, and records shall meet with the approval of such parties. If a party, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it should not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement because of any new or supplemental material information contained in a Schedule, Exhibit or other instrument that is delivered to such party after the execution of this Agreement, then such party may terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing by giving written notice thereof to the other party.

14.2 Additional Assurances. The provisions of this Agreement shall be self-operative and shall not require further agreement by the parties except as may be herein specifically provided to the contrary; provided, however, at the request of a party, the other party or parties shall execute such additional instruments and take such additional actions as the requesting party may deem necessary to effectuate this Agreement. In addition and from time to time after Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer, and take such other actions as Buyer reasonably may request, more effectively to convey and transfer full right, title, and interest to, vest in, and place Buyer in legal and actual possession of, any and all of the Hospital and the Purchased Assets. Seller shall also furnish Buyer with such information and documents in its possession or under its control, or which Seller can execute or cause to be executed, as will enable Buyer to prosecute any and all petitions, applications, claims, and demands relating to or constituting a part of the Hospital or the Purchased Assets. Additionally, each party shall cooperate and use its best efforts to have its present directors, officers, and employees cooperate with the other party on and after Closing in furnishing information, evidence, testimony, and other assistance in connection with any action, proceeding,

- 41 -

arrangement, or dispute of any nature with respect to matters pertaining to the items subject to this Agreement.

14.3 Consented Assignment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any claim, right, contract, license, lease, commitment, sales order, or purchase order if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent of the other party thereto would constitute a breach thereof or in any material way affect the rights of Seller thereunder, unless such consent is obtained. Each of Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any third party consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment would be ineffective or would materially affect the rights thereunder of Seller so that Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for Buyer the benefits under any such claim, right, contract, license, lease, commitment, sales order, or purchase order, including, without limitation, enforcement of any and all rights of Seller against the other party or parties thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such other party or otherwise.

14.4 Consents, Approvals and Discretion. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, whenever this Agreement requires any consent or approval to be given by a party, or whenever a party must or may exercise discretion, the parties agree that such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such discretion shall be reasonably exercised.

14.5 Legal Fees and Costs. Except as set forth in Section 13.5(e), in the event a party elects to incur legal and other expenses to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement by judicial proceedings, the substantially prevailing party will be entitled to recover such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, expert and accountant fees and costs, and necessary disbursements at all court levels, in addition to any other relief to which such party shall be entitled.

14.6 Choice of Law. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any action or proceeding arising directly or indirectly in connection with, out of, or relating to this Agreement may be commenced and maintained only in courts located in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Georgia.

14.7 Benefit/Assignment. Subject to provisions herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns. No party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Seller, assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to one or more Affiliates (as defined in Section 14.18).

14.8 No Brokerage. Subject to Section 3.28, Buyer and Seller each represent and warrant to the other that it has not engaged a broker in connection with the transactions described herein. Each party agrees to be solely liable for and obligated to satisfy and discharge all loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of claims for fees or commissions of brokers employed or alleged to have been employed by such party.

- 42 -

14.9 Cost of Transaction. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated and except as set forth herein, the parties agree that, except as set forth in Sections 9, 13.1, 13.2, 13.5 and 14.5: (i) Seller shall pay the fees, expenses, and disbursements of Seller and its agents, representatives, accountants, and legal counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto; (ii) Buyer shall pay the fees, expenses, and disbursements of Buyer and its agents, representatives, accountants and legal counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto; and (iii) Seller shall pay any state or local deed, stamp or other tax associated with or assessed in connection with the conveyance of any of the Purchased Assets.

14.10 Confidentiality. It is understood by the parties hereto that the information, documents, and instruments delivered to Buyer by Seller and its agents and the information, documents, and instruments delivered to Seller by Buyer and its agents are of a confidential and proprietary nature. Each of the parties hereto agrees that both prior and subsequent to the Closing it will maintain the confidentiality of all such confidential information, documents, or instruments delivered to it by each of the other parties hereto or their agents in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or in compliance with the terms, conditions, and covenants hereof and will only disclose such information, documents, and instruments to its duly authorized officers, members, directors, representatives, and agents (including consultants, attorneys, and accountants of each party) and applicable governmental authorities in connection with any required notification or application for approval or exemption therefrom. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, it will return all such documents and instruments and all copies thereof in its possession to the other parties to this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto recognizes that any breach of this Section 14.10 would result in immediate and irreparable harm to the other party to this Agreement and its Affiliates and that therefore either Seller or Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction to prohibit any such breach or anticipated breach, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash, or otherwise, in addition to all of its other legal and equitable remedies. Nothing in this Section 14.10, however, shall prohibit the use of such confidential information, documents, or information for such governmental filings as in the opinion of Seller’s counsel or Buyer’s counsel are required by law or governmental regulations or are otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable state law.

14.11 Public Announcements. Seller and Buyer mutually agree that no party hereto shall release, publish, or otherwise make available to the public in any manner whatsoever any information or announcement regarding the transactions herein contemplated without the prior written consent of Seller and Buyer, except for information and filings reasonably necessary to be directed to governmental agencies to fully and lawfully effect the transactions herein contemplated or required in connection with securities and other laws. Nothing herein shall prohibit either party from responding to questions presented by the press or media without first obtaining prior consent of the other party hereto.

14.12 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by any party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof.

14.13 Notice. Any notice, demand, or communication required, permitted, or desired to be given hereunder shall be deemed effectively given when personally delivered, when received
