The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained herein shall survive the Closing for a period of sixty (60) days following receipt by the Purchaser of the audited financial statements of the Company for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 1998, except as to (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.13 (to the extent related to any Applicable Laws relating to health care, the health care industry and the provision of health care services, third party reimbursement (including Medicare and Medicaid), public health and safety and wrongful death and medical malpractice), 4.16, 4.17, 4.32, 4.33, 4.34, 4.35 and 4.36 hereof, which shall survive for the period of the statute of limitations applicable thereto; (b) any matter as to which a Claim has been submitted in writing to the Company prior to such date; and (c) any matter based on fraud by the Company in making any of the representations and 59 <PAGE> warranties contained in this Agreement. With respect to the matters set forth in (b) and (c) above, the cause of action in favor of the Purchaser in respect of such matters shall survive indefinitely. 8.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, the Carlyle Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, stockholders and partners of each of the Purchaser, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates and the Carlyle Affiliates (individually, an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements of any kind ("Losses") which may be imposed upon or incurred by the Purchaser in any manner relating to or arising out of any untrue representation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement by the Company contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the schedules and exhibits hereto), the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Series D Certificate of Designation, the Ancillary Agreements or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or arising out of any Applicable Laws relating to health care, the health care industry and the provision of health care services, third party reimbursement (including Medicare and Medicaid), public health and safety and wrongful death and medical malpractice or otherwise relating to or arising out of the Transaction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall provide no indemnification with respect to Losses relating to or arising out of the Transaction if such Losses were caused principally by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of one or more Indemnified Parties. 8.3 LIMITATION ON INDEMNITIES. No Claim may be made against the Company for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.2 exceeds $250,000 (in which event the Purchaser shall be entitled to claim the whole amount of such Losses and not merely the excess). In no event shall the aggregate amount paid by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2 exceed $25 million with respect to Claims arising out of or related to matters other than breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 4.13 (to the extent related to Applicable Laws relating to health care, the health care industry and the provision of health care services, third party reimbursement (including Medicare and Medicaid), public health and safety and wrongful death and medical malpractice), 4.32, 4.33, 4.34, 4.35, 4.36 and 6.9 (to the extent related to Applicable Laws relating to health care, the health care industry and the provision of health care services, third party reimbursement (including Medicare and Medicaid), public health and safety and wrongful death and medical malpractice), as to which breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such Sections, there shall be no cap on the Company's indemnification obligations under Section 8.2. 8.4 LOSSES. The term "Losses" as used in this Article VIII is not limited to matters asserted by third parties but includes Losses incurred or sustained by an Indemnified Party in the absence of third party claims. The difference between (a) any insurance proceeds received by an Indemnified 60 <PAGE> Party in respect of Losses and (b) the legal costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party, if any, in seeking the payment of such insurance proceeds from the insurer or insurers who insured against such Loss, shall be deducted from any Claim for indemnification made by such Indemnified Party against the Company. Payments by an Indemnified Party of amounts for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition precedent to recovery. If, after payment of any Claim by the Company to an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds on account of the Loss indemnified by such payment by the Company, such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Company the lesser of (a) the amount of the payment on the Claim with respect to such Loss by the Company to the Indemnified Party and (b) the amount of such insurance proceeds minus the legal costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party, if any, in seeking the payment of such insurance proceeds from the insurer or insurers who insured against such Loss. 8.5 DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. If a claim for Losses (a "Claim") is to be made by an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a "Claim Notice") to the Company as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VIII. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party hereunder, notice thereof (a "Third Party Notice") shall be given to the Company as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Company demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After receipt of a Third Party Notice, if the Company shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party that the Company shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the Company shall be entitled, if it so elects, (a) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (b) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the Company's cost, risk and expense unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the Company and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Company, and (c) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement (i) shall be made and entered into only with the advance written consent of the Indemnified Party (in its sole discretion) if such compromise or settlement, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, would cause more than de minimis harm to such Indemnified Party's business reputation, (ii) may be made and entered into in the sole discretion of the Company if such compromise or settlement provides for the payment solely of cash to the claimant in such lawsuit in full satisfaction of such claimant's claim therein and includes a release of the Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted by law (and would not otherwise, in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party, cause more than de minimis harm to such Indemnified Party's business reputation) and (iii) otherwise shall be entered into only with the advance written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; and the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial 61 <PAGE> and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom and appoint its own counsel therefor, at its own cost. The parties shall also cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Company fails to assume the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Third Party Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Company) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim at the Company's cost and the Company shall have the right to participate therein at its own cost; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Company reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys at any time for any and all Indemnified Parties (which firm shall be designated in writing by such Indemnified Party or Parties) in connection with any one such action or proceeding or multiple actions or proceedings provided that they are held in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS 9.1 FEES AND EXPENSES. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Transaction, regardless of whether any portion of the Transaction closes, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of the Company's legal counsel and all third party consultants engaged by the Company to assist in the Transaction. 9.2 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall have any right, benefit or obligation hereunder. 62 <PAGE> 9.4 NOTICES.
