(v) resignations effective as of the Closing for each director of each Company and evidence of removal of each officer of each Company effective as of the Closing as may be requested by the Buyer prior to the Closing Date;

(vii) the original stock or similar certificates, if certificated, representing the Shares, and duly executed stock powers in proper form for transfer;

(viii) a certificate signed by an executive officer of each Company, certifying that attached thereto are correct and complete copies of the Fundamental Documents of such Company and the resolutions of the appropriate governing body of each Company approving the execution and delivery by such Company of this Agreement and the Related Documents to which such Company is a party, as applicable, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(ix) a certificate signed by an executive officer of each Seller certifying that attached thereto are correct and complete copies of the resolutions of the appropriate governing body of each Seller approving the execution and delivery by such Seller of this Agreement and the Related Documents to which such Seller is party, as applicable, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(d) At the Closing, in addition to the payments described in Section 1.2(b), the Buyer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Sellers, as applicable:

(i) a certificate from the Secretary of State (or other applicable office) from the State in which the Buyer is formed, dated as of a date not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, certifying as to the good standing of the Buyer; and

(iii) the Transition Services Agreement, duly executed by the Companies.

1.2. Purchase Price Payment; Delivery of the Shares.

(a) Purchase Price. Subject to the adjustments set forth in this Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 hereof, the aggregate consideration for all of the Shares shall consist of:

(i) (A) the Base Purchase Price; plus (B) the amount, if any, by which Closing Working Capital exceeds the Reference Amount; minus; (C) the amount, if any, by which the Reference Amount exceeds Closing Working Capital (such resulting amount, the “Closing Consideration”); and

(ii) the potential right of the Sellers to receive the Earn-Out Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit A attached hereto.

(b) Delivery of the Base Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay the Base Purchase Price to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds and to the bank account(s) provided by Select in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

1.3. Closing Statement and Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Select a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s proposed calculations of (i) Net Working Capital calculated through and including the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”) and (ii) the Closing Consideration. The Closing Statement shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles Consistently Applied and the other requirements of this Section 1.3 (and related definitions), and shall include reasonable supporting documentation.

(b) Select may dispute the Closing Statement by delivering a written notice of dispute (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer within thirty (30) days of receiving the Closing Statement. If Select agrees with the Closing Statement or does not give Buyer a Notice of Disagreement within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement (and

the calculations of the amount of Closing Working Capital and the Closing Consideration) shall become final and binding and the Sellers and Buyer shall have no further rights to disagree therewith, and the payment of the Final Adjustment Amount, if any, as determined pursuant to Section 1.3(c) below, shall be made to the applicable party. A Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail all of those items in the Closing Statement that Select disputes, in which case the items specifically identified by Select shall be deemed to be the only items in dispute, and include all reasonable supporting documentation. Buyer and Select will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute during the thirty (30)-day period commencing on the date Select delivers the Notice of Disagreement. If Buyer and Select agree in writing upon the Closing Statement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Closing Statement shall become final and binding and the Sellers and Buyer shall have no further rights to disagree therewith, and the payment of the Final Adjustment Amount, if any, as determined pursuant to Section 1.3(c) below, shall be made to the applicable party. If, at the end of the thirty (30)-day period, Buyer and Select have not so resolved such differences, then the items in dispute shall be submitted promptly to Deloitte LLP or if such firm is unable or unwilling to act in such capacity, such other firm selected by agreement of the Buyer and Select (the “Arbiter”). The Arbiter shall be instructed to render a determination of the applicable dispute within thirty (30) days after referral of the matter to the Arbiter, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Arbiter shall (absent manifest error or fraud) be conclusive and binding upon Buyer, the Companies and the Sellers and judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Arbiter in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

The Arbiter shall determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and Select and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, only those items disputed in the Notice of Disagreement that have not been agreed upon in writing by the parties and shall not otherwise investigate any matter independently. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter shall be bound by the Accounting Principles Consistently Applied, the definitions of Closing Working Capital and the Closing Consideration and the other requirements of this Section 1.3 (and related definitions) and shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. Notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary, the Arbiter shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter (i) shall be paid by Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by Select (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (ii) shall be paid by Select in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by Select (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted.

hours in connection with the preparation by Buyer, during the review by Buyer or Select of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Closing Statement; provided that in order to review an accountant’s working papers, Buyer or Select (or their respective representatives) shall execute any releases or waivers customarily required by such accountant in connection therewith.

(c) The “Final Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount equal to (i) the Closing Consideration as finally determined by this Section 1.3 less (ii) the Base Purchase Price. Within three (3) Business Days after the Final Determination Date, (i) if the Final Adjustment Amount is positive, Buyer shall pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated in writing by Select) to the Sellers the Final Adjustment Amount, and (ii) if the Final Adjustment Amount is negative, Select shall pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Buyer) to Buyer the Final Adjustment Amount. For purposes of clarity, if the Final Adjustment Amount is equal to zero, no payment shall be made by any Person pursuant to this Section 1.3(c).

(d) The “Final Determination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the thirty first (31st) day following the receipt by the Seller of the Closing Statement if the Seller shall have failed to deliver the Notice of Disagreement to the Buyer within the thirty (30)-day period described above, (x) the date on which either Select or the Buyer gives the other a written notice to the effect that such party has no objection to the other party’s determination of the amount of Closing Working Capital and the Closing Consideration, each as set forth in the Closing Statement, (y) the date on which the Sellers and the Buyer agreed in writing upon the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 1.3(b) and (z) the date on which the Sellers and the Buyer shall have received the Arbiter’s determination pursuant to Section 1.3(b).

1.4. Withholding. The Buyer and the Companies will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation payments of Closing Consideration and Earn-Out Consideration) such amounts as the Buyer or the Companies (or any Affiliate thereof) shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Laws. To the extent that any payments to be made under this Agreement are expected to be subject to withholding, the Buyer shall notify the applicable Seller at least five (5) Business Days prior to such payment that such payment is subject to withholding and of the amount of such payment expected to be withheld, and shall provide such Seller with a description of the legal basis for such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer or the Companies, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

True, correct and complete copies of the Fundamental Documents have been made available to Buyer prior to the Closing Date.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Company of this Agreement, the Related Documents to which such Company is a party and the other agreements and instruments to be executed by such Company in connection herewith and therewith, and the consummation by such Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate power on behalf of such Company. This Agreement, the Related Documents to which such Company is a party and such other agreements and instruments have been or will be duly and validly executed and delivered by each Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer and the other parties hereto and thereto, constitute or will constitute the valid and binding obligations of such Company enforceable against such Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, or by general equity principles.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by each Company of this Agreement, the Related Documents to which such Company is a party and the other agreements and instruments to be executed by such Company in connection herewith and therewith, and the consummation by such Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, (i) conflict with, or result in any violation of, or cause a default (or an event which might, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute a default) under, or require consent, or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation contained in or the loss of any benefit under, the terms or provisions of (A) the Fundamental Documents of such Company or (B) except as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(c), any Material Contract, Order or Permit to which such Company is a party or by which such Company or its property or assets may be bound, (ii) violate any Laws applicable to such Company or any of its properties or (iii) result in the creation of any Encumbrances upon any property or assets of such Company, except in the case of the foregoing clauses (i)(B), (ii), and (iii) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Companies.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(d), no consent, approval, Permit, Order or authorization of, registration, declaration or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority is required (i) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by a Company of this Agreement or the Related Documents to which such

by Buyer (or such Company); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that indemnification payments, if any, made by either Seller to Buyer (or such Company) on account of such Taxes shall be reduced by the amount of such refund described in this clause (B), and (C) any refund of Taxes to the extent included as an asset in the computation of Closing Working Capital, as finally determined.

(d) Cooperation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, following the Closing Date the Sellers and the Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates (including any Company), on the other hand, shall:

(i) make reasonably available to the other party or parties, with no less than five (5) Business Days’ notice from such other party or parties, all information in its possession relating to any Company which may be relevant in the filing of any Tax Return for any Tax period (other than any information with respect to the Select Consolidated Group);

(iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Taxes.

(e) Tax Contests.

(i) Select, at its sole cost and expense, shall exclusively control the conduct of any audit, examination or other legal proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) related to a Tax Return of the Select Consolidated Group; provided, however, that if an issue is raised during such Tax Contest that could affect the Taxes of either Company for a Post-Closing Tax Period, the Sellers shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest.

(ii) In the case of any Tax Contest relating to Taxes of either Company not described in Section 5.4(e)(i), Buyer shall control provided that upon written notice to the Buyer, the applicable Seller may assume the defense of any such Tax Contest related solely to a Tax Return of either Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (but not a Straddle Period) (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”). In connection with any Pre-Closing Tax Contest or any Tax Contest related to a Tax Return of either Company for any Straddle Period, (A) the non-controlling party, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest, (B) the controlling party shall keep the non-controlling party reasonably informed regarding such Tax Contest (including by providing copies of all material correspondence with the applicable Taxing Authority or other third party), (C) the

controlling party shall cause applicable Company to conduct such Tax Contest in good faith, and (D) the controlling party shall not allow the applicable Company to settle or otherwise resolve Tax Contest if such settlement or other resolution relates to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period) without the permission of the non-controlling party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(f) Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, stock transfer, real property transfer, real property gains, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, recording or similar duties or Taxes (other than Taxes on income or receipts or Taxes with respect to any distribution by any Company to any Seller or its Affiliates) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any fees or other expenses relating to the preparation of any required Tax Returns (as described in the immediately following sentence), shall be paid 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Sellers. Buyer shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to any such Transfer Taxes and the Companies shall join in the execution of such Tax Returns if required by applicable Law.

(g) Allocation of Certain Taxes. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any (i) Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, (ii) sales or use Taxes, (iii) value-added Taxes, (iv) withholding Taxes, (v) employer portion of any payroll, social security, unemployment and similar Taxes, and (vi) other Taxes that are not property Taxes or similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis that are allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Tax year of such Company ended on the Closing date and the books of such Company were closed as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of any property Taxes or similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis that are allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(h) Certain Other Tax Matters. The parties agree with respect to certain Tax matters as follows:

(i) To treat any payment made under Section 1.3, this Section 5.4 or Article VI, and any payment of Earn-Out Consideration (and, in each case, any further adjustment to any such payment), shall be treated as adjustments to the purchase price hereunder except as otherwise required by applicable law.

(or any of its Affiliates) such that on and following the Closing Date, neither Company shall have any obligation to pay or otherwise indemnify any Seller (or its Affiliates) for any Taxes (or have any obligation to share any Tax benefits with any Seller (or its Affiliates)).

(i) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Select Consolidated Group” means the Affiliated Group for federal (and, if applicable, state and local) income Tax purposes of which either Company is a member, as applicable.

(ii) “Post-Closing Tax Period” means any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date, including the portion of any Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

(b) With respect to each employee of a Company who incurred a claim for disability benefits prior to the Transition Period End Date (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), such employee shall be covered by the applicable disability plan maintained by Select with respect to such disability claim. To the extent that an employee of a Company incurs a claim for disability benefits on or after the Transition Period End Date, any rights that such employee has with respect to such disability claim shall be covered by the applicable disability plan of the Buyer. For purposes of this Section 5.6(b), a claim for disability benefits shall be deemed to be incurred on the date on which the injury giving rise to the disability occurred.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause each Company and Affiliates (including Buyer and its Subsidiaries after Closing) to grant all employees of such Company credit for any service with such Company (or any predecessor thereof) for eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) purposes under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by such Company or any of its Affiliates (including Buyer and its Subsidiaries after Closing) on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”). In addition, Buyer shall (i) grant each such employee credit for any service with the Companies (or any predecessor thereof) for benefit accrual purposes under any New Plan that is a severance or paid time off plan or program to the extent such employee is eligible to participate in such severance or paid time off plan or program and (ii) solely to the extent the value of accrued but unused paid time off is factored into the calculation of Net Working Capital, recognize all accrued but unused paid time off for each such employee as of immediately prior to Closing, and permit each such employee to use his or her accrued but unused paid time off as of immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of Buyer’s paid time off plans. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by an employee (or covered dependent thereof) under any Benefit Plan as of the Transition Period End Date, and (ii) any covered expenses incurred on or before the Transition Period End Date by any employee (or covered dependent thereof) of the Companies to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out of pocket provisions after the Transition Period End Date under any applicable New Plan with respect to the plan year in which the Transition Period End Date occurs.

(e) As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall permit each employee of the Companies who participated in a 401(k) retirement plan of the Sellers or any of the Sellers’ Affiliates immediately prior to the Transition Period End Date to elect to effect a “direct rollover” (as described in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of their account balances (in cash, and including any outstanding loan promissory notes) from such plan to a 401(k) retirement plan maintained by Buyer or one of its Affiliates, and the Sellers shall, as of immediately following the Transition Period End Date, to the extent permitted by applicable law, permit each such employee having an outstanding loan under such employee’s account under the 401(k) retirement plan of Sellers to rollover such outstanding loan and such employee’s account balance to Buyer’s 401(k) retirement plan.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall not and shall not be deemed to constitute the adoption, amendment or modification of any employee benefit plan, including the Benefit Plans and New Plan, nor shall any provision hereof limit Buyer’s or each Company’s authority to terminate any employee at any time and for any reason, or to terminate any Benefit Plan or New Plan at any time and for any reason.

(g) The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall not entitle any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective transferees and permitted assigns to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.

5.7. Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition; Non-Disparagement.

(a) Non-Solicitation. For a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Parent and the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Restricted Seller Parties”) to, directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any employees of or independent contractors to the Companies (as of the Closing Date) to terminate their relationship with the Companies or take away or hire such employees or independent contractors; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.7 shall prohibit the Restricted Seller Parties from (i) soliciting any employee of or independent contractor to the Companies, or hiring any such employee or independent contractor following such solicitation, through a general solicitation in any media (including trade media) which is not directed specifically to any such employee or independent contractor or through search firms that are not instructed to solicit any such employee or independent contractor; (ii) hiring any employee of or independent contractor to the Companies who initiates discussions with such Restricted Seller Parties regarding employment or service without any direct or indirect solicitation by such Restricted Seller Parties; (iii) soliciting and/or hiring any employee of or independent contractor to the Companies whose employment or contractor relationship, has been terminated by the Companies without cause; or (iv) after six (6) months from the date of termination of employment, or any contractor relationship, soliciting and/or hiring any former employee or independent contractor of the Companies whose employment or service has been terminated by such employee or independent contractor.

(b) Non-Competition. For the Restricted Period, Parent and the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of the other Restricted Seller Parties to, directly or indirectly, operate or engage in any business or enterprise that is engaged in providing contracted physical, occupational and speech-language therapy services to third-party (i) skilled nursing facilities, (ii) assisted living and senior care centers, (iii) pediatric centers or (iv) continuing care retirement communities (each, a “Restricted Line of Business”) within the United States; provided, however, the Sellers or any other Restricted Seller Parties may operate or engage in any Restricted Line of Business in connection with any (i) business that is acquired after the date hereof but prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period as a result of any acquisition of any Person consummated by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates and (ii) current or future hospital joint venture of the Sellers or their Affiliates to the extent such operation or engagement in such Restricted Line of Business is ancillary to the business of such joint venture and conducted in a manner that

is consistent with past or current practice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of clause (i) above, to the extent such operation or engagement in such Restricted Line of Business (x) exceeds 50% of the acquired Person’s total revenues for the last reportable twelve-month period prior to the date of acquisition (“TTM Revenue”), no Seller or any Affiliate thereof may consummate the proposed acquisition without obtaining the Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be withheld and/or conditioned by the Buyer in the Buyer’s sole discretion) to the consummation of such acquisition, and (y) (A) generates $25,000,000 or more of the acquired Person’s TTM Revenue, or (B) exceeds 20% of the acquired Person’s TTM Revenue, the Sellers shall (and/or shall cause their Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of the Restricted Line of Business within one (1) year of the date of acquisition; provided, that with respect to this clause (y), if Select conducts a competitive auction in order to dispose of the Restricted Line of Business, Select will provide notice of any such auction and shall provide the Buyer with the opportunity, subject to the Buyer entering into a customary confidentiality agreement with Select covering any confidential information to be furnished by Select with respect to such Restricted Line of Business, to participate in such auction.

(c) Non-Disparagement. For the Restricted Period, the parties hereto shall not, and shall not permit their Affiliates to, directly or indirectly through any other Person (whether as an officer, manager, director, employee, partner, consultant, holder of equity or debt investment, lender or in any other manner or capacity) make any statements (whether orally or in writing) to any Person that disparage, denigrate or malign any of the Sellers, the Buyer, the Companies, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective current or former officers, managers, directors, employees, partners, consultants, agents, representatives, holders of equity or debt investments, lenders, businesses, activities, operations or reputations.

(d) The Sellers understand that the foregoing restrictions may limit its ability to engage in certain businesses similar to the Company Business, but nevertheless believe that it has received and will receive, directly or indirectly, sufficient consideration and other benefits as provided hereunder to clearly justify such restrictions. The Sellers have carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions placed upon it by this Agreement, and hereby acknowledge and agree that the same are reasonable in time, scope and territory, do not confer a benefit upon the Buyer or any of their Affiliates disproportionate to the detriment of the Sellers, are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Buyer and are an essential inducement to the Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents.

(e) The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute a sale of all of the Equity Interests and the goodwill of the Companies to the Buyer.

(f) Each party hereto covenants and agrees that it will not assert as a defense to any action seeking enforcement of the provisions contained in this Section 5.7 (including an action seeking injunctive relief) that such provisions are not enforceable due to lack of sufficient consideration received by it. The parties hereto agree and

acknowledge that money damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Section 5.7. Therefore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party of this Section 5.7, the other party or their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Section 5.7.

(iv) Buyer shall not be obligated to provide any indemnification under Section 6.2(b)(i) unless the aggregate amount of all Seller Indemnifiable Losses (excluding Seller Minor Claims) relating thereto exceeds the Deductible, and then only to the extent that such amount exceeds the Deductible.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, solely for the purpose of determining the amount of Losses as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty under Sections 6.2(a)(i), 6.2(a)(ii) and/or 6.2(b)(i), such representation or warranty shall be considered without regard to any “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifications set forth therein.

(f) Procedure.

(i) The Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Indemnitees” (or sometimes individually as an “Indemnitee”). Any party obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee hereunder is referred to herein as an “Indemnitor;” provided for purposes of clarity that, for any claims by a Buyer Indemnitee, Select shall be considered the Indemnitor and Buyer Indemnitee shall be considered the Indemnitee for purposes of this Section 6.2(f). Promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after an Indemnitee either (a) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any action by any

third party which such Indemnitee reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an Indemnitor hereunder or (b) sustains any Loss not involving a third-party claim or action which such Indemnitee reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an Indemnitor hereunder, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnitor under this Article VI, notify such Indemnitor in writing in reasonable detail of such claim, action or Loss, as the case may be; provided, however, that failure to notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve such Indemnitor of its indemnity obligation, except to the extent such Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitor within thirty (30) days of the Indemnitee having given notice of the third-party claim to the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense of such third-party claim at its sole cost and expense and by its own counsel, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such third-party claim, notwithstanding the giving of such written acknowledgment, if (i) the claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief, involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, or involves an actual or alleged breach of any Healthcare Representation, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel in writing that there is an irreconcilable conflict under the rules of professional conduct prohibiting counsel for the Indemnitor from adequately representing the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests would be in conflict with those of the Indemnitor, or (iii) the potential Losses involved in such third-party claim could reasonably be expected to exceed the Cap (as may be reduced pursuant to Section 6.2(c)(iv)). The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in (but not control), and to be represented by counsel (at its own expense) in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor is prohibited from assuming the defense of a third-party claim by the terms of this Section 6.2(f)(i), the Indemnitee shall (A) instruct counsel reasonably acceptable to Select to defend the third-party claim, (B) conduct the defense of such third-party claim with reasonable diligence, (C) consult with Select, including consultation with respect to Indemnitee’s defense of such third-party claim, and in good faith take into account Select’s views and recommendations with respect to such defense, (D) keep Select reasonably informed of developments in such third-party claim and keep Select updated as reasonably requested by Select, (E) provide such information and documents as Select may reasonably request in connection with such third-party claim (for the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnitee would not be obliged to provide any privileged information or documents if not covered by a joint or common interest privilege) and (F) not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such third-party claim without the prior written consent of Select (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) The Indemnitor, if it shall have assumed the defense of any third-party claim as provided in this Agreement, shall (A) conduct the defense of such third-party claim with reasonable diligence and shall consult with the Indemnitee and keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of material developments in the

third-party claim and (B) not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such third-party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that Indemnitor may consent to such a settlement or entry of judgment to the extent it includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee of all liability with respect to such third-party claim and so long as such settlement (1) does not provide for material injunctive or other material nonmonetary relief, (2) does not contain any admission or statement of wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnitee or (3) does not require the Indemnitor to be liable or responsible for any Losses or other amounts that are not otherwise paid for in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(iii) If an Indemnitor fails to accept a tender of or fails to defend a third-party claim pursuant to this Section 6.2 when it is not prohibited from doing so by Section 6.2(f)(i), the Indemnitee shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith, to contest, defend and litigate such third-party claim, and may settle such third-party claim either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnitee deems fair and reasonable, at the Indemnitor’s expense.

(g) Buyer shall take and cause the other Buyer Indemnitees to take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss (including taking commercially reasonable steps to pursue insurance claims against applicable insurance policies) upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(h) As used in this Agreement, “Loss” or “Losses” shall mean any and all losses, Liabilities, damages, penalties, obligations, awards, fines, deficiencies, interest, claims (including third-party claims), Taxes, expenses incurred in connection with any mitigation required by Section 6.2(g), costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and other professional fees and disbursements), resulting from, arising out of or incident to (x) any matter for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement or (y) the enforcement by an Indemnitee of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement.

(i) The parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on Buyer Indemnitees’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties (after consultation with their advisors) and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Sellers hereunder.

6.3. Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any and all Losses for which any Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI shall be determined net of (x) any accruals or reserves on the Financial Statements and any other amounts to the extent included in the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount and with respect to the matters to which such Losses relate, (y) any insurance proceeds received by the

Buyer Indemnitee under insurance policies with respect to such Losses (net of enforcement costs, deductibles, premium increases and other similar items) and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer hereunder and (z) an amount equal to the Tax savings or benefits actually realized by such Buyer Indemnitee in the year the Loss is incurred or the two immediately succeeding Tax years. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Article VI is determined after payment by the Indemnitor of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnitee under this Article VI, the Indemnitee shall repay to the Indemnitor, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnitor would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VI had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

6.4. Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary and except in the case of (i) Fraud by any party, (ii) equitable relief (including without limitation specific performance, injunctive relief or any other right under Sections 5.7 and/or 7.15), (iii) the post-Closing purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 1.3 and (iv) the earn-out provisions set forth in Exhibit A, the indemnification provided in this Article VI shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy with respect to any and all monetary claims available to any party hereto for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein by another party.

The parties hereto have been represented by counsel who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of any laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement and therefore waive their effects. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person.

No party or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

7.15. Specific Performance.

Unless the context otherwise requires, defined terms contained herein that are not otherwise defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

1. Earn-Out Consideration.

(a) Calculation of Earn-Out Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit and the Agreement, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive up to $7,500,000 in the aggregate, as additional cash consideration (the “Earn-Out Consideration”) upon the Companies’ achievement of certain targets for each of calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018 (“CY16”, “CY17” and “CY18”, respectively, each, a “Measurement Period” and collectively, the “Measurement Periods”).

(b) The Earn-Out Consideration shall be calculated as follows:

(i) CY16 Earn-Out. If Company Revenue (as defined below) for CY16 is equal to or greater than $153,300,000 and equal to or less than $160,965,000, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive $1,666,667 (the “CY Earn-Out Consideration”) for CY16 (the “CY16 Earn-Out”). If Company Revenue for CY16 is greater than $160,965,000, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive $2,500,000 (the “Maximum CY Earn-Out Consideration”) for CY16 (the “CY16 Maximum Earn-Out”). If Company Revenue for CY16 is less than $153,300,000, the Sellers shall not be entitled to receive Earn-Out Consideration for CY16.

If Company Revenue for CY17 is equal to or greater than $165,000,000 and equal to or less than $173,250,000, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive the CY Earn-Out Consideration (the “CY17 Earn-Out”). If Company Revenue for CY17 is greater than $173,250,000, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive the Maximum CY Earn-Out Consideration for CY17 (the “CY17 Maximum Earn-Out”). If Company Revenue for CY17 is less than $165,000,000, the Sellers shall not be entitled to receive Earn-Out Consideration for CY17.

(iii) CY18 Earn-Out. If Company Revenue for CY18 is equal to or greater than $165,000,000 and equal to or less than $173,250,000, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive the CY Earn-Out Consideration (the “CY18 Earn-Out”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Earn-Out Consideration paid to the Sellers be in excess of the Aggregate Maximum Earn-Out Amount.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a Sale Event (as defined below) in a Measurement Period in which the LTM Company Revenue (i) is greater than or equal to $165,000,000 and equal to or less than $173,250,000, the CY Earn-Out Consideration for any remaining Measurement Periods (including the then-current Measurement Period), shall be accelerated, fully earned and immediately payable concurrently with such Sale Event and (ii) is greater than $173,250,000, the Maximum CY Earn-Out Consideration for any remaining Measurement Periods (including the then-current Measurement Period), shall be accelerated, fully earned and immediately payable concurrently with such Sale Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Earn-Out Consideration paid to the Sellers be in excess of the Aggregate Maximum Earn-Out Amount.

(v) “Corporate Change” shall mean (i) the direct or indirect sale (including a sale of RCP Encore Holdings, LLC), transfer, assignment or other disposition of any kind, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or substantially all of the assets of the relevant entity (regardless of form or structure, and whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions) to any person or entity; (ii) the merger, consolidation or equity

EXHIBIT A-2

(vii) “Sale Event Measurement Date” shall mean the last day of the month immediately prior to the closing of the Sale Event.

2. Missed Targets. Failure to achieve thresholds sufficient to receive Earn-Out Consideration in any given year shall not prohibit the achievement of thresholds sufficient to receive Earn-Out Consideration in any subsequent year.

3. Statements.

(a) Buyer at its sole expense shall cause to be prepared and shall deliver to Select an unaudited consolidated statement of Company Revenue as of and for each of CY16, CY17 and CY18, and each such statement shall set forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the Earn-Out for the applicable year (the “Statement”) and shall include all reasonable supporting documentation. Each Statement shall be completed no later than thirty (30) days from the receipt of Buyer’s annual audit for the applicable calendar year.

(b) Select may dispute the Statement by delivering a written notice of objection (a “Notice of Objection”) to Buyer within thirty (30) days of receiving the Statement. During the thirty (30)-day period following Select’s receipt of the Statement, Select and its accountants (which may be either Company’s current auditors) shall, at Select’s expense, be permitted reasonable access to review the working papers of Buyer and Buyer’s independent accountant relating to the Statement. If Select agrees with the Statement or does not give Buyer a Notice of Objection within such thirty (30)-day period, the Statement shall become final and binding and the Sellers and Buyer shall have no further rights to disagree therewith, and the payment of the appropriate Earn-Out Consideration, if any, as determined pursuant to Section 1 of this Exhibit A, shall be made to the Sellers. A Notice of Objection shall set forth in reasonable detail all of those items in the Statement that Select disputes, in which case the items specifically identified by Select shall be deemed to be the only items in dispute, and include all reasonable supporting documentation. Buyer and Select will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute during the thirty (30)-day period commencing on the date Select delivers the Notice of Objection. If Buyer and Select agree in writing upon the Statement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Statement shall become final and binding and the Sellers and Buyer shall have no

EXHIBIT A-3

further rights to disagree therewith, and the payment of the appropriate Earn-Out Consideration, if any, as determined pursuant to Section 1 of this Exhibit A, shall be made to the Sellers. If, at the end of the thirty (30)-day period, Buyer and Select have not so resolved such differences, then the items in dispute shall be submitted promptly to the Arbiter. The Arbiter shall be instructed to render a determination of the applicable dispute within thirty (30) days after referral of the matter to the Arbiter, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Arbiter shall (absent manifest error or fraud) be conclusive and binding upon Buyer, the Companies and the Sellers and judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Arbiter in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

The Arbiter shall determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and Select and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, only those items disputed in the Notice of Objection that have not been agreed upon in writing by the parties and shall not otherwise investigate any matter independently. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter shall be bound by the Accounting Principles Consistently Applied, the definitions of Annualized Company Revenue and Company Revenue and the resulting Earn-Out Consideration and the other requirements of the provisions of this Exhibit A, and shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. Notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary, the Arbiter shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall decide only those issues as to which the parties are not in agreement on the grounds that the Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Exhibit A was not prepared in accordance with the terms of this Earn-Out, is based on incomplete or inaccurate information or contains computational errors. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter (i) shall be paid by Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by Select (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (ii) shall be paid by Select in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by Select (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted.

Each of the Buyer, the Companies and the Sellers shall cooperate with, make their relevant financial records available to and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to each other and their respective accountants and other representatives, in each case, at the requesting party’s sole cost and expense, at reasonable times during regular business hours in connection with the preparation by Buyer, during the review by Buyer or Select of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Statement; provided that in order to review an accountant’s working papers, Buyer or Select (or their respective representatives) shall execute any releases or waivers customarily required by such accountant in connection therewith.

4. Payment of Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration. Within five (5) Business Days after final determination (or agreement) of the Statement of the Earn-Out Consideration payable for CY16, CY17, CY18 of this Exhibit A, if any, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) the appropriate Earn-Out Consideration to Select (on behalf of the Sellers) (any such payment date, an “Earn-Out Consideration Payment Date”).

EXHIBIT A-4

5. Enforcement. In the event it becomes necessary for any party to initiate litigation for purposes of the enforcement or the interpretation of the rights or obligations of the parties under this Exhibit A, the party prevailing in the outcome of such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the opposing party such prevailing party’s reasonable costs and expenses associated with such litigation, including attorneys’ fees.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Buyer agrees that after the Closing Date and during each of CY16, CY17 and CY18 Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies to, (i) not take any action intended to impact adversely the ability of the Companies to maximize Company Revenues for each applicable calendar year of the Measurement Periods and (ii) conduct the Company Business in the ordinary course in good faith and in a businesslike manner using commercially reasonable efforts to promote and support the Company Business to maintain and generate customers for the Companies.

(b) At all times during CY16, CY17 and CY18, Buyer shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to the business of the Companies, in accordance with this Exhibit A, in order to permit the calculation of the Earn-Out Consideration

(d) No later than fifteen (15) days after the end of each fiscal quarter during each of CY16, CY17 and CY18, Buyer shall cause to be provided in respect of that fiscal quarter to Select a written statement setting forth a calculation of Company Revenue for such quarter.

(e) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) there is no assurance that such Seller will receive the CY16 Earn-Out, the CY17 Earn-Out and/or the CY18 Earn-Out (each, an “Earn-Out Payment” and together, the “Earn-Out Payments”) and the Buyer has not promised any Earn-Out Payment, (ii) the Buyer does not owe a fiduciary duty to the Sellers (it being understood that the absence of any fiduciary duty does not limit any implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing applicable to any party under applicable Law) and (iii) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth herein (including clause 6(a)), the Buyer shall have the right to operate each Company and its Subsidiaries’ business in any way that the Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

(f) Any Earn-Out Payment paid or delivered to the Seller will be treated by the parties as additional Purchase Price under this Agreement.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall (i) more than one (1) Earn-Out Payment be due in respect of any Measurement Period and (ii) the Earn-Out Consideration exceed $7,500,000.
