PRELIMINARY PROXY
STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 13, 2011
LETTER TO PHC STOCKHOLDERS
|
|
PROXY
STATEMENT |
PROSPECTUS |
To the Stockholders of PHC, Inc.:
The Boards of Directors of PHC, Inc. (PHC) and
Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (Acadia) have
approved a merger combining PHC and Acadia.
If the merger is completed, PHC will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Acadia. The terms of the merger agreement provide
for Acadia to issue shares of its common stock to PHC
stockholders in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of
PHC, with holders of PHC Class A Common Stock receiving
one-quarter of a share of Acadia common stock for each share of
PHC common stock that they hold and holders of PHC Class B
Common Stock receiving one-quarter of a share of Acadia common
stock for each share of PHC Class B Common Stock that they
hold and an amount of cash equal to $5,000,000 divided by
the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of PHC
Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the effective
time of the merger (other than (i) any shares of PHC
Class B Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to the merger
agreement and (ii) any share of PHC Class B Common
Stock owned by a subsidiary of PHC). Based on the number of
shares of PHC Class B Common Stock outstanding as of
May 23, 2011, this calculation would have resulted in a
cash payment of $6.46 per share of PHC Class B Common
Stock. Upon completion of the merger, Acadia stockholders will
retain 77.5% and the former PHC stockholders will own 22.5% of
Acadias common stock on a fully diluted basis (as defined
in the merger agreement). All of the outstanding options and
warrants to purchase PHC Class A Common Stock will be
assumed by Acadia in connection with the merger. The merger is
intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a
reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
PHC and Acadia anticipate that concurrent with the closing of
the merger, Acadias common stock will be listed for
trading on The NASDAQ National Market (NASDAQ) under
the symbol
. Acadia will apply for listing on NASDAQ and, in order to
be listed, will be required to meet the initial listing
requirements established by NASDAQ. Following the merger, PHC
will be delisted from the NYSE Amex Stock Market.
You are requested, at the special meeting of PHC stockholders,
to approve the merger agreement. Your vote is important. We
cannot complete the merger unless the merger agreement is
approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
(i) two-thirds of our outstanding Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class
(with the holders of our Class A Common Stock having one
vote per share and the holders of our Class B Common Stock
having five votes per share), (ii) two-thirds of our
outstanding Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate
class and (iii) two-thirds of our outstanding Class B
Common Stock, voting as a separate class. The PHC board of
directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of the merger
agreement.
The proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed
information about Acadia, PHC, the merger agreement and the
proposed merger. We encourage you to read and carefully consider
the proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety. For a discussion
of significant matters that should be considered before voting
at the special meeting, see Risk Factors beginning
on page 18.
Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you
own. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, you may
vote your shares via the toll-free telephone number or via the
Internet, or you may complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy
card or voting instruction card and return it in the enclosed,
postage-paid envelope. Instructions regarding all three methods
of voting are contained on the proxy card and voting instruction
card and in the attached proxy statement/prospectus. If you
attend the annual meeting and prefer to vote in person, you may
do so in accordance with the procedures described in the
accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. If you hold shares in
the name of a brokerage firm, bank, nominee or other
institution, you must provide a proxy from that institution in
order to vote your shares at the special meeting, except as
otherwise discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Sincerely,

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.
(Acadia). Founded in December 2005,
Acadia is a leading provider of behavioral health care services

YFCS services include residential treatment care,
community-based services, acute care, specialized education
services, therapeutic group homes, therapeutic foster care and

Acadia Merger Sub, LLC (Merger

PHC, Inc. (PHC). PHC is a national

companys issued and outstanding common stock on a fully
diluted basis. Fully diluted (as defined in the
merger agreement and as used in this proxy statement/prospectus

Stock as reported on AMEX for the ten full trading days ending
on May 20, 2011. Acadia intends to apply for listing of its
common stock to be issued in the merger on NASDAQ. Joey A.
Jacobs, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Acadia, will
become the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the combined
company.
1
Bruce A. Shear, President & Chief Executive Officer of
PHC, will become the Executive Vice Chairman and a member of the
board of directors of the combined company.
From and after the effective time of the merger, unless
otherwise contemplated by Acadias certificate of
incorporation, the authorized number of directors on the Acadia
board of directors will be established and maintained at 12, and
the Acadia board of directors will be divided into three classes
designated as Class I, Class II and Class III.
The term of office of the initial Class I directors will

merger, the term of office of the initial Class II
directors will expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders after the merger and the term of office of the
initial Class III directors will expire at the third
succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders after the merger.
At each annual meeting of stockholders after the merger,
directors elected to replace those of a class whose terms expire
at such annual meeting will be elected to hold office until the
third succeeding annual meeting after their election and until
their respective successors will have been duly elected and
qualified.
The following persons will be appointed to the Acadia board of
directors as of immediately prior to the effective time of the
merger and nominated for re-election and elected to the Acadia
board of directors as follows: (i) Mr. Jacobs, as a
Class III director and, after the expiration of his initial
term as a director, for so long as he serves as the chief
executive officer of Acadia or any of its subsidiaries;
(ii) Mr. Shear, as a Class III director and,
after the expiration of his initial term as a director, for one
additional three-year term as a Class III director;

director independence requirements of NASDAQ or any other
securities exchange on which the securities of Acadia may be
listed from time to time, one of whom will be William F. Grieco,

current director of PHC, and two of whom will be Class III
directors designated by the Acadia board of directors; and (iv)

its affiliates (collectively, Waud Capital Partners)
retain voting control over at least 50% of the outstanding
voting securities of Acadia, Waud Capital Partners will
designate seven directors, four of which will be Class I
directors and three of which will be Class II directors and
(B) in the event Waud Capital Partners ceases to have
voting control over at least 50% of the outstanding voting
securities of Acadia, Waud Capital Partners will designate such
number of directors of the total authorized number of directors
in proportion to the total number of shares of Acadia over which
Waud Capital Partners retains voting control relative to the
total number of shares of Acadia then issued and outstanding
(with the number of representatives rounded up to the next whole
number in all cases); provided that all such rights will
terminate when Waud Capital Partners ceases to hold at least
17.5% of Acadias outstanding voting securities.
Risks
Associated with Acadia, PHC and the Merger (See
page 18)
The merger poses a number of risks to each company and its
respective stockholders. In addition, both Acadia and PHC are
subject to various risks associated with their businesses and
their industry. These risks are discussed in detail under the
caption Risk Factors beginning on page 18. You
are encouraged to read and consider all of these risks carefully.
Special
Meeting of the PHC Stockholders (See page 48)
The purpose of the special meeting is to hold a vote on the

Recommendation
of the PHC Board of Directors (See page 48)
After careful consideration, the PHC board of directors has
unanimously approved the merger agreement (with Mr. Shear
abstaining) and has determined that the merger agreement is fair
to, and in the best interests of, the stockholders of PHC.
Therefore, the PHC board of directors recommends PHC
stockholders vote FOR the approval of the merger agreement.
Opinion
of Stout Risius Ross, Inc. (See page 57)
In connection with the merger, Stout Risius Ross, Inc.
(SRR) delivered a written opinion to the PHC board
of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view,
as of the date of their opinion, to the holders of PHCs
2
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
(collectively, the PHC common stock), of the merger
consideration to be received by such holders (in the aggregate),
and to the holders of PHCs Class A Common Stock, of
the merger consideration to be received by such holders (in the
aggregate). The full text of SRRs written opinion, dated
May 19, 2011, is attached hereto as Annex C. You are
encouraged to read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a
description of the procedures followed, assumptions made,
matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken.
SRRs opinion is addressed to the PHC board of directors
and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as
to any matters relating to the merger.
Acadias
Financing for the Merger (See page 72)
In connection with the merger, Acadia has entered into a second
amendment, dated July 12, 2011 (the Second
Amendment), to its senior secured credit facility (the
Senior Secured Credit Facility). The Second
Amendment will, among other things, permit the merger and other
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The
effectiveness of the Second Amendment is subject to certain
closing conditions as described in Acadia
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources Following the Merger, including
consummation of the merger and related transactions on or prior
to December 15, 2011.
In connection with the merger agreement, Acadia received an
amended and restated debt commitment letter, dated July 12,
2011 (the Debt Commitment Letter), from Jefferies
Finance LLC (Jefferies Finance) to provide a senior
unsecured bridge loan facility of up to $150 million in the
event that $150 million of senior unsecured notes (the
Senior Notes) are not issued by Acadia to finance
the merger (the Bridge Facility). Net proceeds from
the issuance of $150 million of Senior Notes or, if the
Senior Notes are not issued, drawings under the
$150 million Bridge Facility will be used, in addition to
existing cash balances, to pay the aggregate $5.0 million
in cash payable to holders of PHC Class B Common Stock in
connection with the merger, pay a dividend to Acadias
existing stockholders, refinance certain existing indebtedness
of PHC and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
merger.
The Bridge Facility commitment is subject to certain closing
conditions described under Acadia Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources Following the Merger. The Bridge
Facility commitment will terminate on December 15, 2011 if
the closing of the Bridge Facility has not been consummated on
or before such date or if the merger agreement has been
terminated or if the merger has been abandoned. In addition, the
commitments to provide and arrange unsecured bridge loans will
terminate upon the issuance of the Senior Notes.
Each of Acadia and PHC is obligated under the merger agreement
to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange the debt financing
on the terms contemplated. The receipt of the debt financing on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter
is a condition to the obligation of both Acadia and PHC to
consummate the merger.
Record
Date (See page 47)
The PHC board of directors has fixed the close of business
on ,
2011, as the record date for determining the holders of
PHCs Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting.
As of the record date, PHC
had shares
of Class A Common Stock
and shares
of Class B Common Stock outstanding.
Vote
Required and Voting Power (See page 47)
PHC stockholders are being asked to vote on a proposal to
approve the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that
it is a condition to completion of the merger that the proposal
to approve the merger agreement be approved by the stockholders
of PHC. Approval of this proposal requires an affirmative vote
of (i) at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote,
voting as a single class, (ii) at least two-thirds of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock entitled to vote, voting
as a single class and (iii) at least two-thirds of the
outstanding Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting
as a single class.
Each record holder of shares of PHC Class A Common Stock
will be entitled at the special meeting to one vote for each
share of PHC Class A Common Stock held on the record date.
Each record holder of shares of PHC Class B
3
Common Stock will be entitled at the special meeting to five
votes for each share of PHC Class B Common Stock held on
the record date on any matter on which they vote together with
the holders of the Class A Common Stock.
Conversion
of PHC Shares (See page 80)
Each share of PHC Class A Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than
(i) any shares of PHC Class A Common Stock to be
cancelled pursuant to the merger agreement, (ii) any shares
of PHC Class A Common Stock owned by any PHC subsidiary and
(iii) any shares held by stockholders that properly demand
and perfect their appraisal rights under the Massachusetts
Business Corporation Act (MBCA) and the merger
agreement (Excluded Shares)) will be converted into
and become exchangeable for one-quarter
(1/4)
of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acadia common
stock, par value $0.01 per share. Each share of PHC Class B
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time (other than the Excluded Shares) will be
converted into and become exchangeable for (x) one-quarter
(1/4)
of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acadia common
stock, par value $0.01 per share and (y) an amount of cash
equal to $5.0 million divided by the aggregate
number of issued and outstanding shares of PHC Class B
Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the
merger (other than (i) any shares of PHC Class B
Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to the merger agreement
and (ii) any share of PHC Class B Common Stock owned
by a subsidiary of PHC). Based on the number of shares of PHC
Class B Common Stock outstanding as of May 23, 2011,
this calculation would have resulted in a cash payment of $6.46
per share of PHC Class B Common Stock.
Voting
Agreement (See page 96)
The directors and executive officers of PHC, who as of
May 23, 2011 held in the aggregate approximately 11% of the
outstanding PHC Class A Common Stock, 93.2% of PHC
Class B Common Stock and 24.8% of the outstanding voting
power of the PHC Class A Common Stock and the PHC
Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class,
have agreed to vote their shares in favor of approval of the
merger agreement.
Interests
of PHCs Directors and Executive Officers (See
page 77)
Upon completion of the merger and the issuance of Acadia common
stock in the merger, the directors and executive officers of PHC
will collectively beneficially own approximately 3.2% of the
outstanding stock of Acadia, calculated on the basis set forth
under Beneficial Ownership of Acadia Common Stock After
the Merger.
The directors and executive officers of PHC have interests in
the merger that are different from, and in addition to, the
interests of PHC stockholders generally.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger,
holders of PHCs Class B Common Stock will
collectively receive cash consideration in the merger of $5.0
million. Mr. Shear, PHCs current Chief Executive
Officer, beneficially owns approximately 93.2% of PHCs
Class B Common Stock and will be entitled to receive cash
merger consideration of approximately $4.7 million.
Mr. Shear, Robert H. Boswell, PHCs current Senior
Vice President, and Paula C. Wurts, PHCs current Chief
Financial Officer, are participants in the PHC
change-in-control
supplemental benefit plan for certain executive employees.
Pursuant to such plan, upon the closing of the merger,
Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and Ms. Wurts are entitled
to receive change in control payments of approximately
$1,530,000, $465,000 and $408,000, respectively, payable as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days,
following the date of the closing of the merger.
Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and Ms. Wurts hold stock
options to purchase shares of PHC Class A Common Stock,
subject to various vesting provisions. Pursuant to the merger
agreement, upon completion of the merger, Acadia will assume
these options in accordance with their existing terms, with the
number of shares and the exercise prices adjusted in accordance
with the merger exchange rate. Mr. Shear currently holds
170,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per
share to $2.95 per share, Mr. Boswell currently holds
85,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per
share to $2.95 per share and Ms. Wurts currently holds
85,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per
share to $2.95 per share.
Upon the closing of the merger, notwithstanding the terms and
conditions of the corresponding PHC stock option plan or as
otherwise set forth in a stock option agreement, with respect to
the assumed PHC options granted
4
to current PHC directors, (i) all such assumed options
(other than those held by Mr. Shear) will be fully vested
at closing, and (ii) such assumed options will not
terminate as a result of such holder ceasing or failing to be a
director or employee and will be fully exercisable at any time
prior to the expiration of the option term.
After the closing of the merger, Messrs. Shear and Boswell
are expected to be employed by the combined company pursuant to
employment agreements which are to become effective upon the
closing of the merger.
Upon the closing of the merger, Mr. Shear will join the
Acadia board of directors. In addition, upon the closing of the
merger, Mr. Shear will become Acadias Executive Vice
Chairman. After the closing of the merger, Messrs. Shear
and Boswell may receive stock options to purchase shares of
Acadia common stock.
Structure
and Effects of the Merger (See page 80)
At the completion of the merger, PHC will be merged with and
into Merger Sub, and Merger Sub will continue as the surviving
company of the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia.
Treatment
of PHC Stock Options and Warrants to Purchase PHC Stock (See
pages 80 and 81)
After the completion of the merger, each outstanding PHC option
granted under PHCs stock option plans will be assumed by
Acadia and will be converted into an option to purchase
one-quarter of one share of Acadia common stock and each warrant
to purchase one share of PHC stock will be assumed by Acadia and
will be converted into a warrant to purchase one-quarter of one
share of Acadia common stock. Except with respect to stock
options previously granted to PHC directors (other than
Mr. Shear), as further described in The Merger
Agreement Assumption of Stock Options, each
assumed option and warrant will be subject to the same terms and
conditions (including expiration date and exercise provisions as
contemplated by the applicable award agreement) as were
applicable to the corresponding option or warrant, as
applicable, immediately prior to the effective time of the
merger.
Completion
and Effectiveness of the Merger (See page 80)
Acadia and PHC expect to complete the merger when all of the
conditions to completion of the merger contained in the merger
agreement have been satisfied or waived. The merger will become
effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Acadia and PHC are working toward satisfying the conditions to
the merger, and hope to complete the merger in the third quarter
of 2011.
Restrictions
on Solicitation of Alternative Transactions by PHC (See
page 85)
The merger agreement contains restrictions on the ability of PHC
to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations with a third
party with respect to a proposal to acquire a significant
interest in the equity or assets of PHC. Notwithstanding these
restrictions, the merger agreement provides that, under
specified circumstances, if PHC receives an unsolicited proposal
from a third party to acquire a significant interest in PHC that
PHC may engage in discussions or negotiations with a third party
if the PHC board of directors determines in good faith, after
consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take
such action would be inconsistent with the directors
fiduciary duties under applicable laws, and the PHC board of
directors determines in good faith, based on the information
then available and after consultation with its independent
financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such
acquisition proposal either constitutes a superior proposal or
is reasonably likely to result in a superior proposal.
Conditions
to the Completion of the Merger (See page 90)
Acadias and PHCs obligations to complete the merger
are subject to certain conditions described under the heading
The Merger Agreement Conditions to the
Merger.
5
Termination
of the Merger Agreement and Payment of Certain Termination Fees
(See page 92)
Acadia and PHC may terminate the merger agreement by mutual
agreement and under certain other circumstances. Acadia and PHC
have agreed that if the merger agreement is terminated under the
circumstances described under The Merger
Agreement Termination Fee, PHC will pay Acadia
$3,000,000 in fees.
Fees and
Expenses; Expense Reimbursement (See pages 94 and
95)
The merger agreement provides that, except in circumstances
described below, regardless of whether the merger is completed,
Acadia and PHC will each pay their own expenses incurred in
connection with the merger, except that Acadia and PHC will pay
75% and 25%, respectively, of all fees and expenses, other than
attorneys and accountants fees, incurred in relation
to the printing and filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) of the registration statement
of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the proxy
statement/prospectus
and any amendments or supplements to any of such filings, the
filing fees under any applicable antitrust law or regulation or
state blue sky laws or the listing fees incurred in
obtaining (or attempting to obtain) listing
and/or
eligibility on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange.
In the event the merger agreement is terminated by PHC due to
the fact that Acadia or Merger Sub has breached any of its
covenants, agreements, representations or warranties set forth
in the merger agreement such that a condition related to
PHCs obligation to close would not be satisfied, then
Acadia will pay all of PHCs reasonably documented
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
actually incurred by PHC and its affiliates on or prior to the
termination of merger agreement in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which amount
will in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and shall be
paid in four annual installments, with the first annual
installment due within two business days of such termination,
and the remaining payments being made on the first, second and
third anniversary of such termination date.
In the event the merger agreement is terminated by Acadia under
circumstances in which the termination fee is not then payable,
due to the fact that (i) PHC has breached any of its
covenants, agreements, representations or warranties such that a
condition related to Acadias obligation to close would not
be satisfied or (ii) the supplement to the disclosure
schedules delivered to Acadia in connection with PHCs
recent acquisition of MeadowWood would cause a breach of a PHC
representation or warranty such that a condition related to
Acadias obligation to close would not be satisfied, then
PHC will pay all of Acadias reasonably documented
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
actually incurred by Acadia and its affiliates on or prior to
the termination of the merger agreement in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which amount
will in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and shall be
paid in four annual installments, with the first annual
installment due within two business days of such termination,
and the remaining payments being made on the first, second and
third anniversary of such termination date.
Stockholders
Agreement (See page 178)
Acadia, certain members of Acadias management and Waud
Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates will enter into a
stockholders agreement in connection with the consummation of
the merger. The stockholders agreement will contain certain
voting agreements and transfer restrictions with respect to
equity of Acadia held by the stockholders party to the
stockholders agreement and impose certain negative and
affirmative covenants on Acadia and its subsidiaries. The
stockholders agreement will also grant certain board nomination,
information and consent rights to Waud Capital Partners. See
Stockholders Agreement for a description of the
agreement.
Material
United States Federal Tax Consequences of the Merger (See
page 72)
The closing of the merger is conditioned upon the receipt by
Acadia and PHC of opinions that the merger will constitute a
reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes and
that Acadia and PHC will be parties to the reorganization for
United States federal income tax purposes. Assuming the merger
constitutes a reorganization, subject to the limitations and
qualifications described in The Merger
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the
Merger, PHC stockholders whose shares of PHC common stock
are exchanged in the merger solely for shares of Acadia common
stock will not recognize capital gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes on the exchange (except to the
extent they receive cash in lieu of a fractional share of Acadia
6
common stock), and PHC stockholders whose shares of PHC common
stock are exchanged in the merger for shares of Acadia common
stock and cash will recognize capital gain (but not loss)
realized on the exchange in an amount not exceeding the amount
of cash received (excluding cash received in lieu of a
fractional share of Acadia common stock). This tax treatment may
not apply to certain PHC stockholders, as described in The
Merger Material United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences of the Merger. Determining the actual tax
consequences of the merger to you may be complex and will depend
on the facts of your own situation. You should consult your own
tax advisors to fully understand the tax consequences to you of
the merger, including estate, gift, state, local or
non-United
States tax consequences of the merger.
Accounting
Treatment of the Merger (See page 72)
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP), Acadia will
account for the acquisition of shares of PHC Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock through the merger under the
acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.
Dissenters
Rights (See page 82)
Holders of shares of PHC Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock that are issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time who have not voted in
favor of or consented in writing to the merger and who have
properly demanded and perfected their rights to be paid the fair
value of such shares in accordance with Section 13.02 of
the MBCA, will not have such shares converted into or
exchangeable for the right to receive merger consideration and
will be entitled only to receive payment of the fair value of
such shares, in accordance with Section 13.02 of the MBCA,
unless and until such stockholder withdraws or effectively loses
the right to dissent.
Surrender
of PHC Stock Certificates (See page 81)
Following the effective time of the merger, Acadia will cause a
letter of transmittal to be mailed to all holders of PHC
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
containing instructions for surrendering their certificates.
Certificates should not be surrendered until the letter of
transmittal is received, fully completed and returned as
instructed in the letter of transmittal.
Regulatory
Approvals (See page 79)
Notification will be required under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR
Act), and the rules promulgated thereunder by the Federal
Trade Commission (the FTC), if the market price of
the voting securities of PHC calculated pursuant to the HSR Act
as the lowest closing quotation within 45 calendar days prior to
the closing of the merger, exceeds $66 million. If
notification is required, the merger cannot be completed until
each of Acadia and PHC file a notification and report form with
the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice
under the HSR Act and the applicable waiting period has expired
or been terminated.
Acadia
and/or PHC
currently intend to obtain approvals from, file new license
and/or
permit applications with, or provide notice to applicable
governmental authorities in connection with the merger. The
approval of such governmental authorities, if any, is not a
condition to Acadia or PHCs obligation to complete the
merger except where the failure to obtain any such approval
would reasonably be expected to have a Pioneer Material
Adverse Effect or an Acadia Material Adverse
Effect (each as defined in the merger agreement) or a
material adverse effect on the parties ability to
consummate such transactions.
Litigation
Regarding the Merger (See page 79)
In connection with the merger, a putative stockholder class
action lawsuit has been filed in Massachusetts state court. A
second lawsuit has also been filed in federal district court in
Massachusetts making essentially the same allegations against
the same defendants. PHC, Acadia and Merger Sub believe that
these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them
vigorously.
Comparison
of Acadia and PHC Stockholder Rights (See
page 181)
Upon completion of the merger, PHC stockholders will become
stockholders of Acadia. The internal affairs of Acadia will be
governed by Acadias amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated bylaws attached hereto as
Annexes D and E. The internal affairs of PHC are governed
by PHCs restated articles of
7
organization and bylaws. Due to differences between the
governing documents of Acadia and PHC, the merger will result in
PHC stockholders having different rights once they become Acadia
stockholders.

Summary
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Data
The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statements of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010
reflect (i) Acadias acquisition of YFCS on
April 1, 2011, (ii) PHCs acquisition of
MeadowWood on July 1, 2011 and (iii) consummation of
the merger and related transactions, each as if they had
occurred on January 1, 2010. The following unaudited pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of March 31,
2011 reflects the YFCS and MeadowWood acquisitions and the
consummation of the merger and related transactions as if each
had occurred on March 31, 2011.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is
based on the historical financial statements of Acadia, YFCS,
PHC and HHC Delaware and certain assumptions and adjustments as
discussed in the section entitled Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements beginning on
page 35 of this proxy statement/prospectus, including
assumptions relating to the allocation of the consideration paid
for the assets and liabilities of YFCS, MeadowWood and PHC based
on preliminary estimates of their fair value. MeadowWood was
acquired in an asset acquisition. The assets acquired consisted
of substantially all of the assets of HHC Delaware. The pro
forma adjustments reflect the elimination of any assets of HHC
Delaware not acquired by PHC. The fiscal years of Acadia, YFCS
and HHC Delaware end on December 31 while the fiscal year of
PHC ends on June 30. The combined company will use
Acadias fiscal year ending on December 31. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data
combines Acadias unaudited consolidated balance sheet as
of March 31, 2011 with the respective unaudited
consolidated balance sheets of YFCS, PHC and HHC Delaware as of
March 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
2010 combines Acadias audited consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 with the
audited consolidated statement of operations of YFCS for the
year ended December 31, 2010, the audited consolidated
statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the year ended
December 31, 2010 and the unaudited condensed consolidated
statement of operations of PHC for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2010 (which was derived from the audited
consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2010 less the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months
ended December 31, 2009 plus the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months
ended December 31, 2010). The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statement of operations of PHC for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 combines Acadias unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 with the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of YFCS for the three
months ended March 31, 2011, the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and the unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the
three months ended March 31, 2011. The adjustments
necessary to fairly present the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial data have been made based on available
information and in the opinion of management are reasonable.
Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described
in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements beginning on page 35 of this proxy
statement/prospectus. and other information included in this
proxy statement/prospectus. The following should be read in
conjunction with the Selected Historical Financial
Information, Acadia Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
PHC Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in
this proxy statement/prospectus and other information included
in this proxy statement/prospectus.
A final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
the YFCS, MeadowWood and PHC acquisitions cannot be made prior
to the completion of the merger and the completion of the
purchase price allocations will most likely result in changes in
the values assigned to property and equipment and other assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial data is for illustrative purposes
only and does not purport to represent what Acadias
financial position or results of operations actually would have
been had the
12
events noted above in fact occurred on the assumed dates or to
project our financial position or results of operations for any
future date or future period.

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
The following are some questions that you, as a stockholder
of PHC, may have regarding the merger and the other matters
being considered at the special meeting and brief answers to
those questions. Acadia and PHC urge you to read carefully the
remainder of this proxy statement/prospectus, including the
documents attached to this proxy statement/prospectus.
|
|
|
Q: |
|
Why are Acadia and PHC proposing the merger? (See
pages 54 and 55) |
|
A: |
|
Acadia and PHC are proposing the merger because they believe the
resulting combined company will be a stronger, more competitive
company capable of achieving greater financial strength, earning
power, access to capital and growth potential than either
company would have separately. |
|
|
|
Acadia and PHC believe that the merger may result in a number of
benefits, including the following positive factors that they
believe will contribute to the success of the combined
enterprise: |
|
|
|
the opportunity to diversify service types and payor
mix;
|
|
|
|
the ability to expand the number of facilities and
beds and expand into additional new states;
|
|
|
|
Acadias and PHCs facilities are
complementary and their combination will increase geographic
diversity;
|
|
|
|
the increased ability to access private and public
equity markets, including for purposes of acting on attractive
opportunities to further expand Acadias business;
|
|
|
|
Acadias management will provide additional
resources and has a demonstrated record of achievement;
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to expand PHCs internet and
telephonic-based support services, which include crisis
intervention, critical incidents coordination, employee
counselor support, client monitoring, case management and health
promotion; and
|
|
|
|
the opportunity for PHC stockholders to own 22.5% of
the combined company on a fully diluted basis (as defined in the
merger agreement).
|
|
Q: |
|
What percentage of Acadia will the former PHC stockholders
own collectively immediately following the merger? (See
page 50) |
|
A: |
|
Upon completion of the merger, Acadia stockholders will retain
77.5% and the former PHC stockholders will own 22.5% of the
combined companys common stock issued and outstanding on a
fully diluted basis (as defined in the merger agreement). |
|
Q: |
|
What will PHC stockholders receive in exchange for PHC common
stock in the merger? (See page 80) |
|
A: |
|
Each share of PHC Class A Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be
converted into and become exchangeable for one-quarter
(1/4)
of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acadia common
stock, par value $0.01 per share. Each share of PHC Class B
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time will be converted into and become exchangeable
for (x) one-quarter
(1/4)
of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acadia common
stock, par value $0.01 per share and (y) and an amount of
cash equal to $5.0 million divided by the aggregate
number of issued and outstanding shares of PHC Class B
Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the
merger (other than (i) any shares of PHC Class B
Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to the merger agreement
and (ii) any share of PHC Class B Common Stock owned
by a subsidiary of PHC). Based on shares of PHC Class B
Common Stock outstanding as of May 23, 2011, this
calculation would have resulted in a cash payment of $6.46 per
share of PHC Class B Common Stock. |
14
|
|
|
Q: |
|
Will PHC stockholders be able to trade the Acadia common
stock that they receive in the merger? (See page 88) |
|
A: |
|
Yes. Each of Acadia and PHC have agreed to cooperate and use
reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to
authorize for listing on NASDAQ the shares of Acadia common
stock to be issued in the merger or if such listing is not
possible, to be listed on NYSE Amex Stock Market or another
securities exchange. In addition, it is a condition to
completion of the merger that the shares of Acadia common stock
to be issued in the merger are authorized for listing on a
national securities exchange or eligible for trading on the over
the counter bulletin board. Acadia will apply to be listed on
NASDAQ under the symbol
.
Please see the risk factors beginning on page 18 for a
discussion of risks associated with these listings. |
|
Q: |
|
Who will be the directors of Acadia following the merger?
(See page 98) |
|
A: |
|
The following persons will be appointed to the Acadia board of
directors as of immediately prior to the effective time of the
merger and nominated for re-election and elected to the Acadia
board of directors as follows: (i) Mr. Jacobs, as a
Class III director and, after the expiration of his initial
term as a director, for so long as he serves as the chief
executive officer of Acadia or any of its subsidiaries;
(ii) Mr. Shear, as a Class III director and,
after the expiration of his initial term as a director, for one
additional three-year term as a Class III director;
(iii) three representatives who meet the applicable
director independence requirements of NASDAQ or any other
securities exchange on which the securities of Acadia may be
listed from time to time, one of whom will be Mr. Grieco, a
Class II director designated by Mr. Shear and a
current director of PHC, and two of whom will be Class III
directors designated by the Acadia board of directors; and
(iv) (A) so long as Waud Capital Partners retains voting
control over at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities
of Acadia, Waud Capital Partners will designate seven directors,
four of which will be Class I directors and three of which
will be Class II directors and (B) in the event Waud
Capital Partners ceases to have voting control over at least 50%
of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia, Waud Capital
Partners will designate such number of directors of the total
authorized number of directors in proportion to the total number
of shares of Acadia over which Waud Capital Partners retains
voting control relative to the total number of shares of Acadia
then issued and outstanding (with the number of representatives
rounded up to the next whole number in all cases); provided that
all such rights will terminate when Waud Capital Partners ceases
to hold at least 17.5% of Acadias outstanding voting
securities. |
|
Q: |
|
What constitutes a quorum for the special meeting? (See
page 48) |
|
A: |
|
A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of issued
and outstanding shares of PHC common stock must be present or
represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for action on each
of the matters to be voted upon at the special meeting. All
shares of PHC common stock represented at the special meeting,
including abstentions and broker non-votes, will be treated as
present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a
quorum for all matters voted on at the special meeting of the
PHC stockholders. |
|
Q: |
|
What stockholder approval is needed to complete the merger?
(See page 47) |
|
A: |
|
Approval of the merger agreement requires an affirmative vote of
(i) at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote,
voting as a single class, (ii) at least two-thirds of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock entitled to vote, voting
as a single class and (iii) at least two-thirds of the
outstanding Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting
as a single class. |
|
|
|
Each record holder of shares of PHC Class A Common Stock
will be entitled at the special meeting to one vote for each
share of PHC Class A Common Stock held on the record date.
Each record holder of shares of PHC Class B Common Stock
will be entitled at the special meeting to five votes for each
share of PHC Class B Common Stock held on the record date
on any matter on which they vote together with the holders of
the Class A Common Stock. |
|
Q: |
|
What vote of PHCs stockholders is required to approve
the non-binding, advisory proposal regarding certain
merger-related executive compensation arrangements? (See
page 47) |
|
A: |
|
Approval of the non-binding, advisory proposal regarding certain
merger-related executive compensation arrangements requires the
affirmative vote of holders of majority of the outstanding
shares of PHC Class A |
15
|
|
|
|
|
Common Stock and the outstanding shares of PHC Class B
Common Stock present and voting (voting together, with the
shares of Class B Common Stock casting five votes for each
share held). Stockholders should note that the proposal
regarding certain merger-related executive compensation
arrangements is merely an advisory vote which will not be
binding on PHC, Acadia or the Acadia board of directors. |
|
Q: |
|
What do I need to do now? (See page 48) |
|
A: |
|
After reading and considering the information contained in and
incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus, please submit
your proxy card according to the instructions on the enclosed
proxy card as soon as possible. If you do not submit a proxy
card or attend the special meeting and vote in person, your
shares will not be represented or voted at the meeting. This
will have the same effect as voting against the proposal to
approve the merger agreement. |
|
Q: |
|
If my shares of PHC common stock are held in street
name by my bank or broker, will my bank or broker vote my
shares for me? (See page 48) |
|
A: |
|
Your bank or broker will vote your shares only if you provide
instructions on how to vote by following the information
provided to you by your bank or broker. |
|
|
|
Without instructions from you on how to vote your shares, your
bank or broker will not have discretionary authority to vote
your shares on the matters currently proposed to be presented at
the special meeting. As a result, your bank or broker may
deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting
your shares. This indication that a broker is not voting your
shares is referred to as a broker non-vote. Broker
non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the
presence or absence of a quorum at the special meeting. However,
a broker non-vote will not be entitled to vote on the proposal
to approve the merger agreement, and thus a broker non-vote will
have the effect of a vote against this proposal. |
|
Q: |
|
What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote?
(See page 48) |
|
A: |
|
With respect to the proposal to approve the merger agreement, if
you abstain from voting on the proposal, fail to cast your vote
in person or by proxy or if your shares are held by your broker
or other nominee (i.e., in street name) and you fail
to give voting instructions to your broker or other nominee on
how to vote your shares, it will have the same effect as a vote
AGAINST the proposal to approve the merger agreement. |
|
|
|
With respect to the non-binding, advisory proposal regarding
certain merger-related executive compensation and the proposal
to approve any adjournment of the special meeting for the
purpose of soliciting additional proxies, if you abstain from
voting on either proposal, fail to cast your vote in person or
by proxy or if you hold your shares in street name
and fail to give voting instructions to your broker or other
nominee on how to vote your shares, it will not have any effect
on the outcome of the vote on such proposal. |
|
Q: |
|
If I am a PHC stockholder, what do I do if I want to change
my vote after I have submitted my proxy? (See page 48) |
|
A: |
|
You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted
at the special meeting. There are three ways for you to do this: |
|
|
|
by delivering to the clerk of PHC a signed notice
that you wish to revoke your proxy;
|
|
|
|
by delivering to the clerk of PHC a signed and
later-dated proxy; or
|
|
|
|
by attending the special meeting and voting in
person.
|
|
|
|
If your shares are held in street name by a bank or
broker and you have instructed your bank or broker to vote your
shares, you must follow your banks or brokers
instructions to change your vote. |
|
Q: |
|
When do you expect the merger to be completed? (See
page 78) |
|
A: |
|
PHC and Acadia are working to complete the merger as quickly as
possible. Acadia and PHC hope to complete the merger in the
third quarter of 2011. |
16
|
|
|
Q: |
|
Will the merger trigger the recognition of gain or loss for
United States federal income tax purposes for PHC stockholders?
(See page 72) |
|
A: |
|
The closing of the merger is conditioned upon the receipt by PHC
and Acadia of legal opinions that the merger will constitute a
reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.
Assuming the merger constitutes a reorganization, subject to the
limitations and qualifications described in The
Merger Material United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences of the Merger, PHC stockholders whose shares
of PHC common stock are exchanged in the merger solely for
shares of Acadia common stock will not recognize capital gain or
loss for United States federal income tax purposes on the
exchange (except to the extent they receive cash in lieu of a
fractional share of Acadia common stock), and PHC stockholders
whose shares of PHC common stock are exchanged in the merger for
shares of Acadia common stock and cash will recognize capital
gain (but not loss) realized on the exchange in an amount not
exceeding the amount of cash received (excluding cash received
in lieu of a fractional share of Acadia common stock). The tax
consequences to PHC stockholders will depend on each
stockholders own circumstances. This tax treatment may not
apply to certain PHC stockholders, as described in The
Merger Material United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences of the Merger. Determining the actual tax
consequences of the merger to you may be complex and will depend
on the facts of your own situation. You should consult your own
tax advisors to fully understand the tax consequences to you of
the merger, including estate, gift, state, local or
non-United
States tax consequences of the merger. |
|
Q: |
|
Should PHC stockholders send in their stock certificates now?
(See page 81) |
|
A: |
|
No. After the merger is completed, Acadia will send you
written instructions for exchanging your PHC stock certificates
for Acadia stock certificates. |

RISK
FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors,
together with all of the other information included in this
proxy statement/prospectus, before you decide whether to vote or
direct your vote to be cast to approve the merger or the merger
agreement. References to we, us and
our in this Risk Factor section refer to
the operations of the combined company following completion of
the merger.
Risks
Related to the Merger
The
directors and executive officers of PHC have interests that
differ from those of PHC stockholders.
The directors and executive officers of PHC have interests in
the merger as individuals that are different from, and in
addition to, the interests of PHC stockholders generally,
including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Holders of Class B Common Stock of PHC will receive
$5.0 million in aggregate cash consideration for shares of
Class B Common Stock exchanged for shares of Acadia common
stock in the merger. Mr. Shear, PHCs current Chief
Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 93.2% of
PHCs Class B Common Stock and will be entitled to
receive cash merger consideration of approximately
$4.7 million;
|
|
|
|
Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell, PHCs current Senior Vice
President, and Ms. Wurts, PHCs current Chief
Financial Officer, are participants in the PHC
change-in-control
supplemental benefit plan. Pursuant to such plan, upon the
closing of the merger, Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and
Ms. Wurts are entitled to receive certain change in control
payments in the amount of approximately $1,530,000, $465,000 and
$408,000, respectively;
|
|
|
|
Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and Ms. Wurts hold stock
options to purchase shares of PHC Class A Common Stock,
subject to various vesting provisions. Pursuant to the merger
agreement, upon completion of the merger, Acadia will assume
these options in accordance with their existing terms, with the
number of shares and the exercise prices adjusted in accordance
with the merger exchange rate. Mr. Shear currently holds
170,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per
share to $2.95 per share, Mr. Boswell currently holds
85,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per
share to $2.95 per share and Ms. Wurts currently holds
85,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per
share to $2.95 per share;
|
|
|
|
Upon the closing of the merger, notwithstanding the terms and
conditions of the corresponding PHC stock option plan or as
otherwise set forth in a stock option agreement, with respect to
the assumed PHC options granted to current PHC directors other
than Mr. Shear, (i) all such assumed options will be
fully vested at closing, and (ii) such assumed options will
not terminate as a result of such holder ceasing or failing to
be a director or employee and will be fully exercisable at any
time prior to the expiration of the option term;
|
|
|
|
Upon the closing of the merger, Mr. Shear will become a
director of Acadia and the Executive Vice Chairman of the Acadia
board of directors and Mr. Boswell will become
Acadias Senior Vice President and their new employment
agreements will become effective upon the closing of the
merger; and
|
|
|
|
Acadia will maintain all rights to indemnification existing in
favor of the directors and officers of PHC and its subsidiaries
for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the completion
of the merger and will maintain the directors and
officers liability insurance to cover any such liabilities
for six years following the completion of the merger.
|
In addition, you should be aware that Mr. Shear has a
significant relationship with PHC due to his position as a
current director of PHC and will have a significant relationship
with Acadia following the merger as a future director of Acadia
and that this relationship may have influenced his decision to
vote his PHC Class B Common Stock in favor of the merger
agreement. Mr. Shear abstained from the vote of the PHC
directors on the merger.
PHC stockholders should consider whether these interests may
have influenced these directors and executive officers to vote
in favor of the merger agreement and to recommend that PHC
stockholders vote in favor of the merger agreement.
18
Following
the merger the combined company will have a substantial amount
of indebtedness, which could adversely affect our financial
health.
Following the merger the combined company will have a
substantial amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2011,
on a pro forma basis giving effect to the merger, the combined
company would have had approximately $295 million of total
indebtedness and approximately $20 million of available
borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. For a
description of the expected financing for the merger, see
The Merger Acadias Financing for the
Merger and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our substantial level of indebtedness could have important
consequences to you. For example, it could:
|
|
|
|
|
increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry
conditions;
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to obtain additional financing for future
working capital, capital expenditures, raw materials, strategic
acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;
|
|
|
|
expose us to interest rate fluctuations because the interest on
the debt under our the Senior Secured Credit Facility is imposed
at variable rates;
|
|
|
|
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow
from operations to payments on our debt (including scheduled
repayments on our outstanding term loan borrowings under the
Senior Secured Credit Facility), thereby reducing the
availability of our cash flow for operations and other purposes;
|
|
|
|
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to our
lenders, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration of
such indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to refinance indebtedness or increase the
associated costs;
|
|
|
|
require us to sell assets to reduce debt or influence our
decision about whether to do so;
|
|
|
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes
in our business and the industry in which we operate or prevent
us from carrying out capital spending that is necessary or
important to our growth strategy and efforts to improve
operating margins or our business; and
|
|
|
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any
competitors that have less debt or comparable debt at more
favorable interest rates and that, as a result, may be better
positioned to withstand economic downturns.
|
We
will incur substantial expenses related to the
merger.
Acadia and PHC estimate that they will incur aggregate costs of
approximately $40.6 million associated with the merger, as
well as severance costs relating to employees of PHC of
approximately $3.7 million. In addition, the combined
company expects to incur certain costs in connection with the
integration of the two companies. Such costs cannot now be
reasonably estimated, because they depend on future decisions to
be made by management of the combined company, but they could be
material.
PHC
stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest
after the merger and will exercise less influence over
management of the combined company following the
merger.
After the merger, PHC stockholders will own a significantly
smaller percentage of Acadia than they currently own of PHC.
Following completion of the merger, PHC stockholders will own
22.5% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis (as
defined in the merger agreement). Consequently, PHC stockholders
will be able to exercise less influence over the management and
policies of Acadia than they currently exercise over the
management and policies of PHC.
If we
do not successfully integrate the operations of Acadia and PHC
and realize the expected benefits of the merger, our results of
operations could be adversely affected.
Achieving the expected benefits of the merger will depend in
part upon the retention of key personnel from both Acadia and
PHC and the successful integration of the operations, medical
and management personnel, suppliers and technology of Acadia and
PHC in a timely and efficient manner. Retention and integration
efforts may
19
be difficult and unpredictable because of possible cultural
conflicts and different opinions on technical decisions,
strategic plans and other decisions. We do not know whether we
will be successful in these retention and integration efforts
and cannot give assurances that we will realize the expected
benefits of the merger.
In addition, successful integration of the operations of Acadia
and PHC may place a significant burden on our management and
internal resources. The diversion of managements attention
and any difficulties encountered in the transition and
integration process could have an adverse effect on the future
business, financial condition and operating results of the
combined company.
Risks
Affecting Acadia, PHC and the Combined Company
Our
revenues and results of operations are significantly affected by
payments received from the government and third-party
payers.
A significant portion of our revenues is from the government,
principally Medicare and Medicaid. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, Acadia derived approximately 68% of its
revenues (on a pro forma basis giving effect to the YFCS
acquisition) from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. PHC
derived approximately 37% of its revenues from such programs for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (on a pro forma basis
giving effect to the MeadowWood acquisition). Changes in
government health care programs may reduce the reimbursement we
receive and could adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
Changes in these government programs in recent years have
resulted in limitations on reimbursement and, in some cases,
reduced levels of reimbursement for healthcare services.
Payments from federal and state government programs are subject
to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings,
interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization
review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which
could materially increase or decrease program payments, as well
as affect the cost of providing service to patients and the
timing of payments to facilities. We are unable to predict the
effect of recent and future policy changes on our operations. In
addition, since most states operate with balanced budgets and
since the Medicaid program is often a states largest
program, some states can be expected to enact or consider
enacting legislation formulated to reduce their Medicaid
expenditures. Furthermore, the current economic downturn has
increased the budgetary pressures on the federal government and
many states, which may negatively affect the availability of
taxpayer funds for Medicare and Medicaid programs. If the rates
paid or the scope of services covered by government payers are
reduced, there could be a material adverse effect on our
business, financial position and results of operations.
In addition to changes in government reimbursement programs, our
ability to negotiate favorable contracts with private payers,
including managed care providers, significantly affects the
revenues and operating results of our facilities.
We expect continued third-party efforts to aggressively manage
reimbursement levels and cost controls. Reductions in
reimbursement amounts received from third-party payers could
have a material adverse effect on our financial position and our
results of operations.
A
worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the
United States could materially affect our business and future
results of operations.
During periods of high unemployment, governmental entities often
experience budget deficits as a result of increased costs and
lower than expected tax collections. These budget deficits at
the federal, state and local levels have decreased, and may
continue to decrease, spending for health and human service
programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, which are significant
payer sources for our facilities. In periods of high
unemployment, we also face the risk of potential declines in the
population covered under managed care agreements, patient
decisions to postpone or decide against receiving behavioral
health services, potential increases in the uninsured and
underinsured populations we serve and further difficulties in
collecting patient co-payment and deductible receivables.
Furthermore, the availability of liquidity and credit to fund
the continuation and expansion of many business operations
worldwide has been limited in recent years. Our ability to
access the capital markets on acceptable terms may be severely
restricted at a time when we would like, or need, access to
those markets, which could have a
20
negative impact on our growth plans, our flexibility to react to
changing economic and business conditions and our ability to
refinance existing debt (including indebtedness under the Senior
Secured Credit Facility). The current economic downturn or other
economic conditions could also adversely affect the
counterparties to our agreements, including the lenders under
the Acadia Senior Secured Facility, causing them to fail to meet
their obligations to us.
If we
fail to comply with extensive laws and government regulations,
we could suffer penalties or be required to make significant
changes to our operations.
Our industry is required to comply with extensive and complex
laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government
levels relating to, among other things: billing practices and
prices for services; relationships with psychiatrists,
physicians and other referral sources; necessity and quality of
medical care; condition and adequacy of facilities;
qualifications of medical and support personnel;
confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with
health-related information and patient personal information and
medical records; the screening, stabilization
and/or
transfer of patients who have emergency medical conditions;
certification, licensure and accreditation of our facilities;
operating policies and procedures, activities regarding
competitors; and addition or expansion of facilities and
services.
Among these laws are the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law,
the federal False Claims Act and similar state laws. These laws,
and particularly the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law,
impact the relationships that we may have with psychiatrists and
other referral sources. We have a variety of financial
relationships with physicians who refer patients to our
facilities, including employment contracts, leases and
professional service agreements. These laws govern those
relationships. The Office of the Inspector General of the
Department of Health and Human Services (the OIG)
has enacted safe harbor regulations that outline practices that
are deemed protected from prosecution under the Anti-Kickback
Statute. While we endeavor to comply with applicable safe
harbors, certain of our current arrangements with physicians and
other referral sources may not qualify for safe harbor
protection. Failure to meet a safe harbor does not mean that the
arrangement necessarily violates the Anti-Kickback Statute, but
may subject it to greater scrutiny. We cannot offer assurances
that practices that are outside of a safe harbor will not be
found to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute. Allegations of
violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute may be brought under the
federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law, which requires a lower
burden of proof than other fraud and abuse laws, including the
Anti-Kickback Statute.
These laws and regulations are extremely complex, and, in many
cases, we do not have the benefit of regulatory or judicial
interpretation. In the future, it is possible that different
interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations
could subject our current or past practices to allegations of
impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in
our facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital
expenditure programs and operating expenses. A determination
that we have violated one or more of these laws could subject us
to liabilities, including civil penalties (including the loss of
our licenses to operate one or more facilities), exclusion of
one or more facilities from participation in the Medicare,
Medicaid and other federal and state health care programs and,
for violations of certain laws and regulations, criminal
penalties. Even the public announcement that we are being
investigated for possible violations of these laws could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations, and our business reputation could suffer.
In addition, we cannot predict whether other legislation or
regulations at the federal or state level will be adopted, what
form such legislation or regulations may take or what their
impact on us may be.
We may
be required to spend substantial amounts to comply with
legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to privacy and
security of patient health information and standards for
electronic transactions.
There are currently numerous legislative and regulatory
initiatives at the federal and state levels addressing patient
privacy and security concerns. In particular, federal
regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, require our facilities to
comply with standards to protect the privacy, security and
integrity of health care information. These regulations have
imposed extensive administrative requirements, technical and
physical information security requirements, restrictions on the
use and disclosure of individually identifiable patient health
and related financial information and have provided patients
with additional rights with respect to their health information.
Compliance with these regulations requires
21
substantial expenditures, which could negatively impact our
financial results. In addition, our management has spent, and
may spend in the future, substantial time and effort on
compliance measures.
Violations of the privacy and security regulations could subject
our inpatient facilities to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per
calendar year for each provision contained in the privacy and
security regulations that are violated and criminal penalties of
up to $250,000 per violation for certain other violations, in
each case with the size of such penalty based on certain
factors. Because there is no significant history of enforcement
efforts by the federal government at this time, it is not
possible to ascertain the likelihood of enforcement efforts in
connection with these regulations or the potential for fines and
penalties that may result from the violation of the regulations.
We may
be subject to liabilities from claims brought against our
facilities.
We are subject to medical malpractice lawsuits and other legal
actions in the ordinary course of business. Some of these
actions may involve large claims, as well as significant defense
costs. We cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or the
effect that findings in such lawsuits may have on us. All
professional and general liability insurance we purchase is
subject to policy limitations. We believe that, based on our
past experience and actuarial estimates, our insurance coverage
is adequate considering the claims arising from the operations
of our facilities. While we continuously monitor our coverage,
our ultimate liability for professional and general liability
claims could change materially from our current estimates. If
such policy limitations should be partially or fully exhausted
in the future, or payments of claims exceed our estimates or are
not covered by our insurance, it could have a material adverse
effect on our operations.
We
have been and could become the subject of governmental
investigations, regulatory actions and whistleblower
lawsuits.
Healthcare companies are subject to numerous investigations by
various governmental agencies. Further, under the federal False
Claims Act, private parties are permitted to bring qui tam or
whistleblower lawsuits against companies that submit
false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments
from, the government. Because qui tam lawsuits are filed under
seal, we could be named in one or more such lawsuits of which we
are not aware.
Certain of our facilities have received, and other facilities
may receive, government inquiries from, and may be subject to
investigation by, federal and state agencies. Depending on
whether the underlying conduct in these or future inquiries or
investigations could be considered systemic, their resolution
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations and liquidity.
If any of our existing health care facilities lose their
accreditation or any of our new facilities fail to receive
accreditation, such facilities could become ineligible to
receive reimbursement under Medicare or Medicaid.
The construction and operation of healthcare facilities are
subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation
relating to, among other things, the adequacy of medical care,
equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, fire
prevention, rate-setting and compliance with building codes and
environmental protection. Additionally, such facilities are
subject to periodic inspection by government authorities to
assure their continued compliance with these various standards.
We are
subject to uncertainties regarding recent health care reform,
which represents a significant change to the health care
industry.
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the
PPACA). The Healthcare and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010 (the Reconciliation Act), which contains
a number of amendments to the PPACA, was signed into law on
March 30, 2010. Two primary goals of the PPACA, combined
with the Reconciliation Act (collectively referred to as the
Health Reform Legislation), are to provide for
increased access to coverage for healthcare and to reduce
healthcare-related expenses.
The expansion of health insurance coverage under the Health
Reform Legislation may increase the number of patients using our
facilities who have either private or public program coverage.
In addition, a disproportionately large percentage of new
Medicaid coverage is likely to be in states that currently have
relatively low income
22
eligibility requirements and may include states where we have
facilities. Furthermore, as a result of the Health Reform
Legislation, there may be a reduction in uninsured patients,
which should reduce our expense from uncollectible accounts
receivable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Health Reform Legislation
makes a number of other changes to Medicare and Medicaid which
we believe may have an adverse impact on us. The Health Reform
Legislation revises reimbursement under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs to emphasize the efficient delivery of high
quality care and contains a number of incentives and penalties
under these programs to achieve these goals. The Health Reform
Legislation provides for decreases in the annual market basket
update for federal fiscal years 2010 through 2019, a
productivity offset to the market basket update beginning
October 1, 2011 for Medicare Part B reimbursable items
and services and beginning October 1, 2012 for Medicare
inpatient hospital services. The Health Reform Legislation will
reduce Medicare and Medicaid disproportionate share payments
beginning in 2014, which would adversely impact the
reimbursement we receive under these programs.
The various provisions in the Health Reform Legislation that
directly or indirectly affect reimbursement are scheduled to
take effect over a number of years. Health Reform Legislation
provisions are likely to be affected by the incomplete nature of
implementing regulations or expected forthcoming interpretive
guidance, gradual implementation, future legislation, and
possible judicial nullification of all or certain provisions of
the Health Reform Legislation. Further Health Reform Legislation
provisions, such as those creating the Medicare Shared Savings
Program and the Independent Payment Advisory Board, create
certain flexibilities in how healthcare may be reimbursed by
federal programs in the future. Thus, we cannot predict the
impact of the Health Reform Legislation on our future
reimbursement at this time.
The Health Reform Legislation also contains provisions aimed at
reducing fraud and abuse in healthcare. The Health Reform
Legislation amends several existing laws, including the federal
Anti-Kickback Statute (the Anti-Kickback Statute)
and the False Claims Act, making it easier for government
agencies and private plaintiffs to prevail in lawsuits brought
against healthcare providers. Congress revised the intent
requirement of the
Anti-Kickback
Statute to provide that a person is not required to have
actual knowledge or specific intent to commit a violation
of the Anti-Kickback Statute in order to be found guilty
of violating such law. The Health Reform Legislation also
provides that any claims for items or services that violate the
Anti-Kickback Statute are also considered false claims for
purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act. The Health
Reform Legislation provides that a healthcare provider that
knowingly retains an overpayment in excess of 60 days is
subject to the federal civil False Claims Act. The Health Reform
Legislation also expands the Recovery Audit Contractor program
to Medicaid. These amendments also make it easier for severe
fines and penalties to be imposed on healthcare providers that
violate applicable laws and regulations.
The impact of the Health Reform Legislation on each of our
facilities may vary. Because Health Reform Legislation
provisions are effective at various times over the next several
years and in light of federal lawsuits challenging the
constitutionality of the Health Reform Legislation, we
anticipate that many of the provisions in the Health Reform
Legislation may be subject to further revision or judicial
nullification. We cannot predict the impact the Health Reform
Legislation may have on our business, results of operations,
cash flow, capital resources and liquidity, or whether we will
be able to successfully adapt to the changes required by the
Health Reform Legislation.
We
operate in a highly competitive industry, and competition may
lead to declines in patient volumes.
The healthcare industry is highly competitive, and competition
among healthcare providers (including hospitals) for patients,
psychiatrists and other healthcare professionals has intensified
in recent years. There are other healthcare facilities that
provide behavioral and other mental health services comparable
to at least some of those offered by our facilities in each of
the geographical areas in which we operate. Some of our
competitors are owned by tax-supported governmental agencies or
by nonprofit corporations and may have certain financial
advantages not available to us, including endowments, charitable
contributions, tax-exempt financing and exemptions from sales,
property and income taxes.
If our competitors are better able to attract patients, recruit
and retain psychiatrists, physicians and other healthcare
professionals, expand services or obtain favorable managed care
contracts at their facilities, we may experience a decline in
patient volume and our business may be harmed.
23
The
trend by insurance companies and managed care organizations to
enter into sole source contracts may limit our ability to obtain
patients.
Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering
into sole source contracts with healthcare providers, which
could limit our ability to obtain patients. Private insurers,
managed care organizations and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid and
Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific services,
including mental health and substance abuse services, and
establish small, specialized networks of providers for such
services at fixed reimbursement rates. Continued growth in the
use of carve-out arrangements could materially adversely affect
our business to the extent we are not selected to participate in
such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate
is not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service.
Our
performance depends on our ability to recruit and retain quality
psychiatrists and other physicians.
The success and competitive advantage of our facilities depends,
in part, on the number and quality of the psychiatrists and
other physicians on the medical staffs of our facilities and our
maintenance of good relations with those medical professionals.
Although we employ psychiatrists and other physicians at many of
our facilities, psychiatrists and other physicians generally are
not employees of our facilities, and, in a number of our
markets, they have admitting privileges at hospitals providing
acute or inpatient behavioral health services. Such physicians
(including psychiatrists) may terminate their affiliation with
us at any time or admit their patients to competing healthcare
facilities or hospitals. If we are unable to attract and retain
sufficient numbers of quality psychiatrists and other physicians
by providing adequate support personnel and facilities that meet
the needs of those psychiatrists and other physicians, they may
be discouraged from referring patients to our facilities and our
results of operations may decline.
It may
become difficult for us to attract and retain an adequate number
of psychiatrists and other physicians to practice in certain of
the communities in which our facilities are located. Our failure
to recruit psychiatrists and other physicians to these
communities or the loss of such medical professionals in these
communities could make it more difficult to attract patients to
our facilities and thereby may have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Additionally, our ability to recruit psychiatrists and other
physicians is closely regulated. The form, amount and duration
of assistance we can provide to recruited psychiatrists and
other physicians is limited by the federal physician
self-referral law (the Stark Law), the Anti-Kickback
Statute, state anti-kickback statutes, and related regulations.
For example, the Stark Law requires, among other things, that
recruitment assistance can only be provided to psychiatrists and
other physicians who meet certain geographic and practice
requirements, that the amount of assistance cannot be changed
during the term of the recruitment agreement, and that the
recruitment payments cannot generally benefit psychiatrists and
other physicians currently in practice in the community beyond
recruitment costs actually incurred by them.
Our
facilities face competition for staffing that may increase our
labor costs and reduce our profitability.
Our operations depend on the efforts, abilities, and experience
of our management and medical support personnel, including our
therapists, nurses, pharmacists and mental health technicians,
as well as our psychiatrists and other physicians. We compete
with other healthcare providers in recruiting and retaining
qualified management, physicians (including psychiatrists) and
support personnel responsible for the daily operations of our
facilities.
The nationwide shortage of nurses and other medical support
personnel has been a significant operating issue facing us and
other healthcare providers. This shortage may require us to
enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and
other medical support personnel or require us to hire more
expensive temporary or contract personnel. In addition, certain
of our facilities are required to maintain specified
nurse-staffing levels. To the extent we cannot meet those
levels, we may be required to limit the services provided by
these facilities, which would have a corresponding adverse
effect on our net operating revenues.
Increased labor union activity is another factor that could
adversely affect our labor costs. To date, labor unions
represent employees at only three of our facilities. Although we
are not aware of any union organizing activity at
24
any of our other facilities, we are unable to predict whether
any such activity will take place in the future. To the extent
that a greater portion of our employee base unionizes, it is
possible that our labor costs could increase materially.
We cannot predict the degree to which we will be affected by the
future availability or cost of attracting and retaining talented
medical support staff. If our general labor and related expenses
increase, we may not be able to raise our rates correspondingly.
Our failure to either recruit and retain qualified management,
nurses and other medical support personnel or control our labor
costs could harm our results of operations.
We
depend heavily on key management personnel and the departure of
one or more of our key executives or a significant portion of
our local facility management personnel could harm our
business.
The expertise and efforts of our senior executives and key
members of our facility management personnel are critical to the
success of our business. The loss of the services of one or more
of our senior executives or of a significant portion of our
facility management personnel could significantly undermine our
management expertise and our ability to provide efficient,
quality healthcare services at our facilities, which could harm
our business.
We
could face risks associated with, or arising out of,
environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations.
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations that (i) regulate certain activities and
operations that may have environmental or health and safety
effects, such as the generation, handling and disposal of
medical wastes, (ii) impose liability for costs of cleaning
up, and damages to natural resources from, past spills, waste
disposals on and off-site, or other releases of hazardous
materials or regulated substances, and (iii) regulate
workplace safety. Compliance with these laws and regulations
could increase our costs of operation. Violation of these laws
may subject us to significant fines, penalties or disposal
costs, which could negatively impact our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows. We could be responsible for
the investigation and remediation of environmental conditions at
currently or formerly operated or leased sites, as well as for
associated liabilities, including liabilities for natural
resource damages, third party property damage or personal injury
resulting from lawsuits that could be brought by the government
or private litigants, relating to our operations, the operations
of facilities or the land on which our facilities are located.
We may be subject to these liabilities regardless of whether we
lease or own the facility, and regardless of whether such
environmental conditions were created by us or by a prior owner
or tenant, or by a third party or a neighboring facility whose
operations may have affected such facility or land. That is
because liability for contamination under certain environmental
laws can be imposed on current or past owners or operators of a
site without regard to fault. We cannot assure you that
environmental conditions relating to our prior, existing or
future sites or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities
we may have assumed or acquired will not have a material adverse
affect on our business.
Acadia
may not be able to successfully integrate its acquisition of
YFCS or realize the potential benefits of the acquisition, which
could cause an adverse effect on the combined
company.
Acadia may not be able to combine successfully the operations of
YFCS with its operations, and, even if such integration is
accomplished, Acadia may never realize the potential benefits of
the acquisition. The integration of YFCS with the Acadia
operations requires significant attention from management, may
impose substantial demands on Acadias operations or other
projects and may impose challenges on the combined business
including, but not limited to, consistencies in business
standards, procedures, policies and business cultures. The
integration of YFCS also involves a significant capital
commitment, and the return that Acadia achieves on any capital
invested may be less than the return that Acadia would achieve
on our other projects or investments. Furthermore, we cannot
assure you that the combined company will achieve anticipated
cost savings and synergies in a timely manner or at all. Any of
these factors could cause delays or increased costs of combining
YFCS with Acadia and could adversely affect our operations,
financial results and liquidity.
25
Our
growth strategy depends, in part, on acquisitions, and we may
not be able to continue to acquire facilities that meet our
target criteria.
Acquisitions of other behavioral healthcare facilities are a key
element of our growth strategy. We face competition for
acquisition candidates primarily from other for-profit
healthcare companies, as well as from
not-for-profit
entities. Some of our competitors have greater resources than we
do. Our principal competitors for acquisitions have included
Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS), Aurora
Behavioral Health Care (Aurora) and Ascend Health
Corporation (Ascend). Also, suitable acquisitions
may not be accomplished due to unfavorable terms.
Further, the cost of an acquisition could result in a dilutive
effect on our results of operations, depending on various
factors, including the amount paid for an acquired facility, the
acquired facilitys results of operations, the allocation
of the related purchase price, effects of subsequent legislation
and limits on rate increases.
We may
not achieve all of the expected benefits from synergies, cost
savings and recent improvements to our revenue
base.
Although we have identified certain synergies and cost savings
in connection with the merger, as well as recent improvements to
our revenue base, we may not realize any benefits from expected
operating improvements. The improvements to our revenue base
result from a rate increase on one of our contracts effective in
March 2011 and the expansion of one of our existing contracts in
December 2010. In an effort to illustrate the impact of these
items on our operating income, we have made an estimate of the
impact of these improvements for 2010, even though they were not
effective for the entire 2010 fiscal year. In addition, we have
made an estimate of start up losses at the Seven Hills
Behavioral Center, which was opened in the fourth quarter of
2008 and became CMS certified in July 2010, because we incurred
certain of these start up losses in 2010 but do not expect to
incur them in the future. See Acadia Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Anticipated Synergies, Cost Savings and
Revenue Improvements. Although these estimates are
presented in Acadia Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Anticipated Synergies, Cost Savings and
Revenue Improvements with numerical specificity, they are
inherently uncertain and are not intended to represent what our
financial position or results of operations might be for any
future period. Our ability to realize the expected benefits from
these improvements are subject to significant business, economic
and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which
are beyond our control, such as changes to government regulation
governing or otherwise impacting the behavioral health care
industry, reductions in reimbursement rates from third party
payors, reductions in service levels under our contracts,
operating difficulties, client preferences, changes in
competition and general economic or industry conditions. If we
are unsuccessful in implementing these improvements or if we do
not achieve our expected results, it may adversely impact our
results of operations.
If we
are unable to improve the operations of the facilities we
acquire, our growth strategy may be adversely
affected.
We may be unable to timely and effectively integrate the
facilities that we acquire (including from YFCS and PHC) with
our ongoing operations. We may experience delays in implementing
operating procedures and systems in newly acquired facilities.
Integrating a new facility could be expensive and time consuming
and could disrupt our ongoing business, negatively affect cash
flow and distract management and other key personnel. In
addition, some of the facilities we acquired may have had
significantly lower operating margins than the facilities we
operated prior to the time of our acquisition thereof or had
operating losses prior to such acquisition. If we fail to
improve the operating margins of the facilities we acquire,
operate such facilities profitably or effectively integrate the
operations of acquired facilities, our results of operations
could be negatively impacted.
If we
acquire facilities with unknown or contingent liabilities, we
could become liable for material obligations.
Facilities that we acquire may have unknown or contingent
liabilities, including, but not limited to, liabilities for
failure to comply with healthcare laws and regulations. Although
we typically attempt to exclude significant liabilities from our
acquisition transactions and seek indemnification from the
sellers of such facilities for at least a
26
portion of these matters, we may experience difficulty enforcing
those obligations or we may incur material liabilities for the
past activities of acquired facilities. Such liabilities and
related legal or other costs
and/or
resulting damage to a facilitys reputation could
negatively impact our business.
State
efforts to regulate the construction or expansion of health care
facilities could impair our ability to operate and expand our
operations.
A majority of the states in which we operate facilities have
enacted Certificates of Need (CON) laws as a
condition to the construction or expansion of healthcare
facilities, to make certain capital expenditures or to make
changes in services or bed capacity. In giving approval, these
states consider the need for additional or expanded healthcare
facilities or services. Our failure to obtain necessary state
approval could result in our inability to acquire a targeted
facility, complete a desired expansion or make a desired
replacement, make a facility ineligible to receive reimbursement
under the Medicare or Medicaid programs, result in the
revocation of a facilitys license or impose civil or
criminal penalties on us, any of which could harm our business.
In addition, significant CON reforms have been proposed in a
number of states that would increase the capital spending
thresholds and provide exemptions of various services from
review requirements. In the past, we have not experienced any
material adverse effects from those requirements, but we cannot
predict the impact of these changes upon our operations.
Controls
designed to reduce inpatient services may reduce our
revenues.
Controls imposed by Medicare, Medicaid and commercial
third-party payers designed to reduce admissions and lengths of
stay, commonly referred to as utilization review,
have affected and are expected to continue to affect our
facilities. Utilization review entails the review of the
admission and course of treatment of a patient by health plans.
Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay and occupancy
rates continue to be negatively affected by payer-required
preadmission authorization and utilization review and by payer
pressure to maximize outpatient and alternative healthcare
delivery services for less acutely ill patients. Efforts to
impose more stringent cost controls are expected to continue.
For example, the Health Reform Legislation potentially expands
the use of prepayment review by Medicare contractors by
eliminating statutory restrictions on its use. Utilization
review is also a requirement of most non-governmental
managed-care organizations and other third-party payers.
Although we are unable to predict the effect these controls and
changes will have on our operations, significant limits on the
scope of services reimbursed and on reimbursement rates and fees
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.
We
expect that our stock price will experience significant
volatility due to external factors in our quarterly operating
results.
We intend that our common stock will trade on NASDAQ. Acadia is
currently a private company and its common stock does not
currently trade on an exchange. Historically, PHCs common
stock has generally experienced relatively low daily trading
volumes in relation to the aggregate number of shares
outstanding. Many economic and seasonal factors outside of our
control could cause fluctuations in our quarterly earnings and
adversely affect the price of our common stock. These factors
include certain of the risks discussed herein, demographic
changes, operating results of other behavioral healthcare
companies (including hospitals providing such services), changes
in our financial estimates or recommendations of securities
analysts, speculation in the press or investment community, the
possible effects of war, terrorist and other hostilities,
adverse weather conditions, managed care contract negotiations
and terminations, changes in general conditions in the economy
or the financial markets, or other developments affecting the
health care industry. If we are unable to operate our facilities
as profitably as our stockholders expect us to in the future,
the market price of our common stock will likely decline as
stockholders could sell shares of our common stock when it
becomes apparent that the market expectations may not be met.
The stock markets have experienced volatility that has often
been unrelated to operating performance. These broad market
fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our
common stock and cause significant volatility in the market
price of our common stock.
27
If the
ownership of Acadia common stock following the completion of the
merger continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you
and other stockholders from influencing significant corporate
decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could
cause Acadias stock price to decline.
Waud Capital Partners and Acadias executive officers,
directors and their affiliates will beneficially own 77.5% of
the outstanding shares of Acadia common stock on a fully diluted
basis (as defined in the merger agreement) following the
completion of the merger. Accordingly, Waud Capital Partners and
these executive officers, directors and their affiliates, acting
as a group, will have substantial influence over the outcome of
corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the
election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all
or substantially all of our assets or any other significant
corporate transactions. These stockholders may also delay or
prevent a change of control of us, even if such a change of
control would benefit our other stockholders. The significant
concentration of stock ownership may cause the trading price of
our common stock to decline due to investor perception that
conflicts of interest may exist or arise.
Additionally, the stockholders agreement to be entered into by
Acadia, Waud Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates and
certain members of Acadia and PHC management in connection with
the merger will grant Waud Capital Partners certain board
nomination, information and consent rights. It will also impose
certain restrictions on Acadias business and operations
for so long as Waud Capital Partners and its affiliates hold at
least 17.5% of Acadias outstanding voting securities. See
Stockholders Agreement for a description of this
agreement and the related restrictions.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or
reports about our business, if they were to change their
recommendations regarding Acadia stock adversely or if the
operating results of the combined company do not meet their
expectations, Acadias stock price and trading volume could
decline.
Following the merger, the trading market for Acadias
common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that
industry or securities analysts publish about the combined
company. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of
Acadia or fail to regularly publish reports on Acadia, we could
lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could
cause Acadias stock price or trading volume to decline.
Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover Acadia
downgrade its stock or if the operating results of the combined
company do not meet their expectations, Acadias stock
price could decline.
Future
sales of common stock by Acadias existing stockholders may
cause the Acadia stock price to fall.
The market price of Acadias common stock could decline as
a result of sales by Acadias then existing stockholders in
the market after the completion of the merger, or the perception
that these sales could occur. These sales might also make it
more difficult for Acadia to sell equity securities at a time
and price that it deems appropriate.
Waud Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates, along with
certain members of our management, have certain demand and
piggyback registration rights with respect to shares of Acadia
common stock beneficially owned by them. The presence of
additional shares of Acadia common stock trading in the public
market, as a result of the exercise of such registration rights,
may have an adverse effect on the market price of Acadias
securities.
Different
interpretations of accounting principles could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition.
Generally accepted accounting principles are complex,
continually evolving and may be subject to varied interpretation
by us, our independent registered public accounting firm and the
SEC. Such varied interpretations could result from differing
views related to specific facts and circumstances. Differences
in interpretation of generally accepted accounting principles
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position
or results of operations.
28
Although
we have facilities in 18 states, we have substantial
operations in each of Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi
and Nevada, which makes us sensitive to regulatory, economic,
environmental and competitive conditions and changes in those
states.
We operated 29 treatment facilities as of March 31,
2011 (on a pro forma basis giving effect to the YFCS acquisition
and the merger, including PHCs acquisition of MeadowWood),
14 of which are located in Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan,
Mississippi or Nevada. Our revenues in those states represented
approximately 53% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2010 (on a pro forma basis giving effect to
the YFCS acquisition and the merger, including PHCs
acquisition of MeadowWood). This concentration makes us
particularly sensitive to legislative, regulatory, economic,
environmental and competition changes in those states. Any
material change in the current payment programs or regulatory,
economic, environmental or competitive conditions in these
states could have a disproportionate effect on our overall
business results.
In addition, our facilities in Florida, Louisiana and
Mississippi and other areas across the Gulf Coast (including
Texas) are located in hurricane-prone areas. In the past,
hurricanes have had a disruptive effect on the operations of our
facilities in the Gulf Coast and the patient populations in
those states. Our business activities could be marked by a
particularly active hurricane season or even a single storm, and
our property insurance may not be adequate to cover losses from
such storms or other natural disasters.
An
increase in uninsured and underinsured patients or the
deterioration in the collectability of the accounts of such
patients could harm our results of operations.
Collection of receivables from third-party payers and patients
is critical to our operating performance. Our primary collection
risks relate to uninsured patients and the portion of the bill
that is the patients responsibility, which primarily
includes co-payments and deductibles. We estimate our provisions
for doubtful accounts based on general factors such as payer
source, the agings of the receivables and historical collection
experience. At December 31, 2010, the combined
companys allowance for doubtful accounts represented
approximately 19% of its accounts receivable balance as of such
date (calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to the YFCS
acquisition, the MeadowWood acquisition and the merger). We
routinely review accounts receivable balances in conjunction
with these factors and other economic conditions that might
ultimately affect the collectability of the patient accounts and
make adjustments to our allowances as warranted. Significant
changes in business office operations, payer mix, economic
conditions or trends in federal and state governmental health
coverage (including implementation of the Health Reform
Legislation) could affect our collection of accounts receivable,
cash flow and results of operations. If we experience unexpected
increases in the growth of uninsured and underinsured patients
or in bad debt expenses, our results of operations will be
harmed.
Provisions
of our charter documents following the completion of the merger
or Delaware law could delay or prevent an acquisition of us,
even if the acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders,
and could make it more difficult for you to change
management.
Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated bylaws following the
completion of the merger may discourage, delay or prevent a
merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders
may consider favorable, including transactions in which
stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares.
This is because these provisions may prevent or frustrate
attempts by stockholders to replace or remove our management
following the completion of the merger. These provisions include:
|
|
|
|
|
a classified board of directors;
|
|
|
|
a prohibition on stockholder action through written consent
(once Waud Capital Partners no longer beneficially own at least
a majority of our outstanding common stock);
|
|
|
|
a requirement that special meetings of stockholders be called
upon a resolution approved by a majority of our directors then
in office;
|
|
|
|
advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and
nominations; and
|
29
|
|
|
|
|
the authority of the board of directors to issue preferred stock
with such terms as the board of directors may determine.
|
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
DGCL) prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation
from engaging in a business combination with an interested
stockholder, generally a person that together with its
affiliates owns or within the last three years has owned 15% of
voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the
transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a
prescribed manner. Although we have elected not to be subject to
Section 203 of the DGCL, Acadias amended and restated
certificate of incorporation will contain provisions that have
the same effect as Section 203, except that they will
provide that both Waud Capital Partners, its affiliates and any
investment fund managed by Waud Capital Partners and any persons
to whom Waud Capital Partners sells at least five percent (5%)
of outstanding voting stock of Acadia will be deemed to have
been approved by our board of directors, and thereby not subject
to the restrictions set forth in Acadias amended and
restated certificate of incorporation that have the same effect
as Section 203 of the DGCL. Accordingly, the provision in
Acadias amended and restated certificate of incorporation
that adopts a modified version of Section 203 of the DGCL
may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of us.
As a result of these provisions in our charter documents
following the completion of the merger and Delaware law, the
price investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares
of our common stock may be limited.
Acadia
does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.
Following the completion of the merger and the payment of the
dividend to holders of Acadias common stock prior to the
merger, Acadia intends to retain its future earnings, if any,
for use in the business of the combined company or for other
corporate purposes and does not anticipate that cash dividends
in respect to common stock will be paid in the foreseeable
future. Any decision as to the future payment of dividends will
depend on the results of operations, the financial position of
the combined company and such other factors, as the Acadia board
of directors, in its discretion, deems relevant. In addition,
the terms of Acadias existing debt substantially limit its
ability to pay these dividends. We anticipate that the
indebtedness incurred in connection with the merger will also
substantially limit Acadias ability to pay dividends. As a
result, capital appreciation, if any, of Acadia common stock
will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

|
|
|

|
|
|
|

acquisition of YFCS and PHC (including Meadow Wood) or realizing
the potential benefits of these acquisitions;
|
|
|
|
the impact on our growth strategy from difficulties in acquiring
facilities in general and from
not-for-profit
entities due to regulatory scrutiny;
|
|
|
|
difficulties in improving the operations of the facilities we
acquire;
|
|
|
|
the impact of unknown or contingent liabilities on facilities we

expansion of health care facilities on our ability to operate
and expand our operations;
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
the impact of fluctuations in our operating results, quarter to
quarter earnings and other factors on the price of our common
stock;
|
|
|
|
the impact of different interpretations of accounting principles
on our results of operations or financial condition;
|
|
|
|

|
This proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking
statements based on current projections about operations,
industry, financial condition and liquidity. Words such as
will, should, anticipate,
predict, potential,
estimate, expect, continue,
may, project, intend,
plan, believe and words and terms of
similar substance used in connection with any discussion of
future operating or financial performance, the merger or the
business of the combined company identify forward-looking
statements. In addition, any statements that refer to
expectations, projections or other characterizations of future
events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions,
are forward-looking statements. Those statements are not
guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual results could differ materially and adversely
from these forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements reflect present expectations of
future events by Acadias and PHCs management and are
subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those described
in the forward-looking statements. In addition to the risks
related to the businesses of Acadia, PHC and the combined
company, the uncertainty concerning the completion of the merger
and the matters discussed above under Risk Factors,
among others, could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements. These
factors include the relative valuations of Acadia and PHC, the
markets difficulty in valuing the combined business, the
possible failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the
merger and the conflicts of interest of directors recommending
the merger. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on the forward-looking statements. Neither Acadia nor PHC is
under any obligation, and each expressly disclaims any
obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

Historical Financial Data

UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following tables set forth the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial data for Acadia, YFCS, PHC and MeadowWood as
a combined company, giving effect to (1) Acadias
acquisition of YFCS and the related debt and equity financing
transactions on April 1, 2011, (2) PHCs
acquisition of MeadowWood and related debt financing transaction
on July 1, 2011 and (3) Acadias merger with PHC
and the related transactions described elsewhere in this proxy
statement/prospectus, as if the transactions had occurred on
March 31, 2011 for the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet and January 1, 2010 for the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.
MeadowWood was acquired in an asset acquisition. The assets
acquired consisted of substantially all of the assets of HHC
Delaware. The pro forma adjustments reflect the elimination of
any assets of HHC Delaware not acquired by PHC. The fiscal years
of Acadia, YFCS and HHC Delaware end on December 31 while the
fiscal year of PHC ends on June 30. The combined company
will use Acadias fiscal year ending on December 31.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet
combines Acadias unaudited consolidated balance sheet as
of March 31, 2011 with the respective unaudited
consolidated balance sheets of YFCS, PHC and HHC Delaware as of
March 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
2010 combines Acadias audited consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 with the
audited consolidated statement of operations of YFCS for the
year ended December 31, 2010, the audited consolidated
statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the year ended
December 31, 2010 and the unaudited condensed consolidated
statement of operations of PHC for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2010 (which was derived from the audited
consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2010 less the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months
ended December 31, 2009 plus the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months
ended December 31, 2010). The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statement of operations of PHC for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 combines Acadias unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 with the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of YFCS for the three
months ended March 31, 2011, the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and the unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the
three months ended March 31, 2011.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data has
been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for
business combinations under GAAP. The adjustments necessary to
fairly present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial data have been made based on available information and
in the opinion of management are reasonable. Assumptions
underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the
accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with
this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data. The
pro forma adjustments are preliminary and revisions to the
preliminary purchase price allocations and financing of the
transactions may have a significant impact on the pro forma
adjustments. A final valuation of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the YFCS, MeadowWood and PHC acquisitions
cannot be made prior to the completion of the merger and the
completion of the purchase price allocations will most likely
result in changes in the values assigned to property and
equipment and other assets (including intangibles) acquired and
liabilities assumed.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is for
illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent
what Acadias financial position or results of operations
actually would have been had the events noted above in fact
occurred on the assumed dates or to project our financial
position or results of operations for any future date or future
period.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data does
not reflect (1) the effects of any future restructuring
activities or operating efficiencies pertaining to the combined
operations (for a discussion of anticipated cost savings and
synergies, see page 128 of Acadia Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Anticipated Synergies, Cost Savings and
Revenue Improvements), (2) certain purchase accounting
adjustments and adjustments to historical depreciation and
amortization expense as the preliminary valuations of property
and equipment and intangible assets have not been completed and
there is no basis for adjusting the historical amounts or (3)
adjustments to reflect the compensation expense
35
associated with the accelerated vesting and fair value
adjustments of management equity awards, which will be
recognized in the period in which the merger is completed.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should
be read in conjunction with Selected Historical Financial
Information, Acadia Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
PHC Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of
Acadia, YFCS, PHC and MeadowWood included elsewhere in this
proxy statement/prospectus.

COMPARATIVE
PER SHARE INFORMATION
The following table sets forth selected historical share, net
income (loss) per share and book value per share information of
Acadia and PHC. The table also sets forth the Acadia unaudited
pro forma share, net income (loss) per share and book value per
share information after giving effect to (i) the YFCS
acquisition and (ii) both the YFCS acquisition and the
merger (including PHCs acquisition of MeadowWood). The pro
forma equivalent information of PHC was derived by multiplying
the pro forma share, net income (loss) per share and book value
per share information by the exchange ratio of 0.25. You should
read this information in conjunction with the selected
historical financial information included elsewhere in this
proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma share, net
income (loss) per share and book value per share information is
derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements and
related notes included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The
historical share, net income (loss) per share and book value per
share information of Acadia is derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements of Acadia as of and for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements of Acadia as of and
for the three months ended March 31, 2011. PHCs
fiscal year ends on June 30. Accordingly, PHCs net
income (loss), basic and diluted net income (loss) per common
share, and the number of shares used in the computation of basic
and diluted earnings per common share for the year ended
December 31, 2010, were not obtained from PHCs annual
audited financial statements. PHCs financial data
presented in this table has been prepared assuming a December 31
fiscal year end. See the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy
statement/prospectus. The amounts set forth below are in
thousands, except per share amounts.

All Acadia share numbers have been restated for the stock split
effected by means of a stock dividend on May 20, 2011 such
that 10,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and
outstanding on such date. An additional stock split or issuance
will be effected immediately prior to the merger to the extent
required in order for the Acadia common stock outstanding
immediately prior to the merger to represent 77.5% of the common
stock on fully diluted basis (as defined in the merger
agreement) post-merger. |
|

|
These amounts were calculated by applying the exchange ratio of
0.25 to the Acadia per share amounts giving effect to the YFCS
acquisition and the merger. |

At the special meeting of PHC stockholders, and any adjournments
thereof, PHC stockholders will be asked:
|
|
|
|
|
to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of May 23, 2011, by and among PHC,

|
|
|
|
to consider and cast an advisory vote on the compensation to be
received by PHCs named executive officers in connection
with the merger;
|
|
|
|
to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the adjournment of
the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional
proxies, in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the
time of the adjournment to approve the merger agreement; and
|
|
|
|
To transact such other business as may properly come before the
meeting or any adjournments thereof.
|
Record
Date
The PHC board of directors has
fixed 2011,
as the record date for determination of PHC stockholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting of
PHC stockholders and any adjournments thereof. As of the close
of business on the record date for the special meeting of PHC
stockholders, there
were shares
of PHC Class A Common Stock outstanding and entitled to
vote, held by
approximately
holders of record,
and shares
of PHC Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to
vote, held by
approximately
holders of record.
Votes
Required
Approval of the merger agreement will require the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least (i) two-thirds of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock, voting together as a single class (with the holders of
the Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and the
holders of the Class B Common Stock having five votes per
share), (ii) two-thirds of the outstanding Class A
Common Stock, voting as a separate class and
(iii) two-thirds of the outstanding Class B Common
Stock, voting as a separate class.
Advisory approval of the change in control payments to be made
to PHCs named executive officers and approval of any
necessary adjournment will each require the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock and
the Class B Common Stock casting votes at the special
meeting, voting together as a single class (with the holders of
the Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and the
holders of the Class B Common Stock having five votes per
share).
As of the record date for the special meeting of PHC
stockholders, the directors and executive officers of PHC and
their affiliates owned
approximately % of the outstanding
shares of PHC Class A Common Stock,
approximately % of the outstanding
shares of PHC Class B Common Stock and
approximately % of the outstanding
voting power of the PHC Class A Common Stock and the PHC
Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class.
Each of PHCs directors and executive officers has entered
into a voting agreement with Acadia
47
dated as of May 23, 2011, pursuant to which they have
agreed to vote all shares of PHC capital stock owned by them as
of the record date in favor of the proposal to approve the
merger agreement. See The Voting Agreement.
Quorum
and Abstentions
The presence of a quorum is separately determined with respect
to each matter to be acted on at the special meeting. The
presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of shares having
the right to cast a majority of the votes which may be cast with
respect to such matter constitutes the required quorum for such
matter. Abstentions will be included in determining the number
of shares present at the special meeting of PHC stockholders for
the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Abstaining from the vote on the proposal to approve the merger
agreement will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.
The failure of a PHC stockholder to return a proxy or to vote in
person, or if a stockholders shares are held by a broker
or other nominee (i.e., in street name), the failure
to give voting instructions to the broker or other nominee on
how to vote the shares, also will have the effect of a vote
against this proposal. Shares abstaining from the advisory vote
on the compensation of the named executive officers or the vote
on the proposal to approve the adjournment of the special
meeting to solicit additional proxies will have no effect on the
vote with respect to these proposals because approval of each of
these proposals requires a majority of votes cast with respect
to the proposal at the special meeting.
PHC stockholders are encouraged to return the enclosed proxy
card marked to indicate their vote as described in the
instructions accompanying the proxy card.
Recommendation
of Board of Directors
After careful consideration, the PHC board of directors (with
Mr. Shear abstaining) approved the merger agreement and
determined that the merger agreement is fair to, and in the best
interests of, the stockholders of PHC. Therefore, the PHC board
of directors recommends PHC stockholders vote FOR the approval
of the merger agreement.
In considering this recommendation, PHC stockholders should be
aware that the PHC directors and executive officers have
interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition
to, those of other PHC stockholders generally. See The
Merger Interests of PHCs Directors and
Executive Officers.
Solicitation
of Proxies
PHC and Acadia shall bear 25% and 75%, respectively, of the
aggregate fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
filing with the SEC, printing and mailing of this proxy
statement/prospectus. Solicitation of proxies by mail may be
supplemented by telephone, facsimile and other electronic means,
advertisements and personal solicitation by the directors,
officers or employees of PHC. No additional compensation will be
paid to directors, officers or employees for those solicitation
efforts. PHC has engaged Georgeson Inc. (Georgeson)
to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special
meeting, and PHC has agreed to pay Georgeson a fee of $8,500 and
will reimburse them for reasonable out of pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the solicitation.
Voting of
Proxies
PHC requests that its stockholders complete, date and sign the
enclosed proxy card and promptly return it by mail in the
accompanying envelope in accordance with the instructions
accompanying the proxy card. All properly signed and dated
proxies that PHC receives prior to the vote at the special
meeting of PHC stockholders, and not subsequently revoked, will
be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on the
proxies. All properly signed and dated proxies received by PHC
prior to the vote at the special meeting that do not contain any
direction as to how to vote in regards to any or all of the
proposals will be voted for approval of any proposal in regards
to which no directions are provided.
48
Stockholders may revoke their proxies at any time prior to their
use:
|
|
|
|
|
by delivering to the clerk of PHC a signed notice of revocation;
|
|
|
|
by delivering to the clerk of PHC a later-dated, signed
proxy; or
|
|
|
|
by attending the special meeting of PHC stockholders and voting
in person.
|
Attendance at the special meeting of PHC stockholders does not
in itself constitute the revocation of a proxy.
Even if a PHC stockholder plans to attend the special meeting in
person, PHC requests that the stockholder sign and return the
enclosed proxy card as described in the proxy
statement/prospectus and in accordance with the instructions
accompanying the proxy card, thus ensuring that the shares held
by the stockholder will be represented at the special meeting.
If a PHC stockholder does attend the special meeting and wishes
to vote in person, he or she may withdraw the proxy and vote in
person.
49
THE
MERGER
General
Description of the Merger
At the effective time of the merger, PHC will merge with and
into Merger Sub. PHC stockholders will receive one-quarter of a
share of Acadia common stock in exchange for each share of PHC
common stock they own. In addition, holders of PHC Class B
Common Stock will receive their pro rata share of
$5.0 million of cash consideration for each share of PHC
Class B Common Stock exchanged in the merger. PHC warrant
holders holding warrants will receive warrants to purchase
one-quarter of a share of Acadia common stock for each share of
PHC common stock subject to such warrants. PHC option holders
holding options, whether vested or unvested, will receive
options to purchase one-quarter of a share of Acadia common
stock for each share of PHC common stock subject to such options.
Upon completion of the merger, Acadia stockholders will retain
77.5% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis (as
defined in the merger agreement) and the former PHC stockholders
will receive 22.5% of the combined company on a fully diluted
basis (as defined in the merger agreement).
Background
of the Merger
Mr. Jacobs, Acadias Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, and other members of Acadias current management
team were previously executive officers of Psychiatric
Solutions, Inc. (PSI), a publicly traded behavioral
health care company that owned and operated 95 inpatient
facilities with approximately 11,000 beds in 32 states,
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mr. Jacobs
was a founder of PSI and served as its Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and President from 1997 to the time of its sale to
Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS) in November
2010. Mr. Jacobs and the senior management team grew PSI
from a market capitalization of approximately $50 million
when it went public in July 2002, to over $1.8 billion in
November 2010.
Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Shear, PHCs Chief Executive
Officer, have served together as directors of the National
Association of Psychiatric Hospital Systems (NAPHS)
for several years. Mr. Jacobs also was familiar with PHC
and its business from his experience as Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President of PSI and conversations with
Mr. Shear from time to time over the course of the
preceding several years.
In December 2010, Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Shear met to
discuss PHCs strategic plans, including the possibility of
Mr. Jacobs and other former PSI senior executive officers
joining PHC. Concurrently, Mr. Jacobs discussed with
representatives of Acadia and Waud Capital Partners the
possibility of Mr. Jacobs and other former PSI senior
executive officers joining Acadia. On January 31, 2011,
Mr. Jacobs and other former PSI senior executive officers
entered into employment agreements with Acadia.
On January 31, 2011, Mr. Shear updated the PHC board
of directors on his discussions with Mr. Jacobs and
discussed the possibility of Mr. Jacobs bringing potential
deals to PHC.
On February 2, 2011, Mr. Jacobs and Brent Turner,
Co-President of Acadia, met with Mr. Shear and
representatives of Jefferies & Co., Inc
(Jefferies) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to
discuss a possible strategic combination of Acadia and PHC,
including initial discussions regarding relative valuations and
deal terms. Jefferies had previously been retained by PHC to act
as a financing source in connection with PHCs proposed
acquisition of MeadowWood, which PHC was exploring at that time.
Following the February 2, 2011 meeting, the parties
continued discussions regarding the possible combination on
periodic conference calls. On February 8, 2011,
Mr. Shear and representatives from Acadia, Waud Capital
Partners and Jefferies met in Chicago, Illinois to further
discuss the possible combination of Acadia and PHC.
After the February 8, 2011 meeting, the parties continued
to share models regarding the possible combination and further
discussed potential terms.
50
During these discussions, Mr. Shear expressed several
principles which guided the discussions on behalf of PHC:
|
|
|
|
|
PHC desired a combination in which PHC stockholders would
participate in the growth of the combined company;
|
|
|
|
In view of PHCs recent growth and prospects, PHCs
contribution to the combination should take into account
PHCs 12 month projections as well as its recent
historical performance; and
|
|
|
|
Any acquisition must fairly compensate the holders of PHCs
Class B Common Stock for their control rights, including
their right to elect a majority of PHCs directors and
their right to five votes per share.
|
On February 18, 2011, Mr. Shear updated the PHC board of
directors on discussions with Acadia and the PHC board of
directors approved PHCs retention of Jefferies to act as
exclusive advisor in connection with a possible combination of
Acadia and PHC.
On February 24, 2011, representatives of Acadia, Waud
Capital Partners, Jefferies and a potential acquisition target
met in Chicago, Illinois to have preliminary discussions
regarding a possible combination with Acadia and PHC. The
parties elected not to pursue this opportunity at that time.
On March 7, 2011, the NAPHS held its annual meeting in
Washington, D.C. While attending this meeting,
Mr. Turner and Mr. Shear continued their discussions
regarding the terms of a possible transaction between Acadia and
PHC. In subsequent discussions the parties agreed to discuss a
letter of intent reflecting proposed terms.
On March 16, 2011, Mr. Shear further updated the PHC
board of directors on discussions with Acadia.
On March 22, 2011, Acadia delivered a letter of intent to
the PHC board of directors. The parties and their respective
counsel negotiated the letter of intent between March 23,
2011 and March 28, 2011.
On March 28, 2011, the PHC board of directors met, reviewed
the draft letter of intent and a presentation from Jefferies and
authorized PHCs execution of the letter of intent. The PHC
board of directors also appointed Mr. William Grieco as the
lead independent director with respect to the following:
(i) discussions regarding the combination;
(ii) working with PHCs Chief Executive Officer and
management team; (iii) facilitating discussions amongst the
members of the PHC board of directors; (iv) interacting
with external advisors; and (v) assisting with PHC
stockholder communications. Mr. Grieco was further directed
to interview, select and engage a financial advisory firm
without an interest in the completion of the transaction to
evaluate the fairness of the proposed combination from a
financial point of view, in light of Jefferies interest in
completing the transaction and potential role in providing
financing to the combined company.
The letter of intent that was signed on March 28, 2011 was
non-binding, except that PHC granted exclusivity to Acadia and
the parties agreed to maintain confidentiality regarding the
proposed transaction. The letter of intent reflected that:
|
|
|
|
|
PHC stockholders would receive common stock constituting 22.5%
of the combined company, on a fully diluted basis (as defined in
the merger agreement), and Acadia stockholders would receive
common stock constituting 77.5% of the combined company, on a
fully diluted basis (as defined in the merger agreement);
|
|
|
|
Based upon the relative values of PHC and Acadia and in order to
achieve the proposed 22.5% 77.5% proportion, Acadia
stockholders would receive a distribution of approximately
$90 million in cash;
|
|
|
|
In order to induce holders of PHCs Class B Common
Stock to give up their control rights and exchange their
Class B Common Stock for ordinary common stock, PHC
stockholders would receive common stock constituting 22.5% of
the combined company, on a fully diluted basis (as defined in
the merger agreement), and holders of PHCs Class B
Common Stock would recapitalize into common stock of the
combined company and receive an aggregate of $5 million in
cash;
|
|
|
|
Mr. Shear would serve as Vice Chairman of the combined
company and, along with another representative designated by
Mr. Shear, would serve as a director of the combined
company;
|
51
|
|
|
|
|
the senior executive officers of PHC would enter into employment
agreements on terms and conditions satisfactory to the parties
and the employees; and
|
|
|
|
PHC, Waud Capital Partners and specified other stockholders
would enter into an investment agreement that would provide
certain rights in favor of Waud Capital Partners, including
registration rights and such other rights as agreed to by the
parties.

On March 30, 2011, Mr. Grieco engaged Pepper Hamilton
LLP (Pepper Hamilton) on behalf of PHC to provide
advice regarding Massachusetts corporate law in connection with
the proposed combination with Acadia. Pepper Hamilton was also
engaged to represent Messrs. Shear and Boswell in
connection with related employment agreement negotiations.
On March 31, 2011, the parties entered into a
confidentiality agreement and began due diligence and
Kirkland & Ellis LLP (Kirkland &
Ellis), outside counsel to Acadia, delivered an initial
draft of a merger agreement to Arent Fox LLP (Arent
Fox), outside counsel to PHC. On April 6, 2011,
representatives of Kirkland & Ellis and Arent Fox
discussed the draft merger agreement and the proposed structure.
A meeting was held in Franklin, Tennessee on April 8, 2011
to discuss the structure and proposed terms of the transaction
and proposed financing for the transaction. Mr. Shear and
other representatives from PHC, representatives from Jefferies,
members of Acadias management team, representatives from
Waud Capital Partners, representatives from Kirkland &
Ellis, representatives from Arent Fox, representatives from
Ernst & Young LLP, Acadias accountants, and BDO
USA, LLP, PHCs accountants, were either in attendance or
participated by telephone. Discussions were also held between
Mr. Jacobs, other members of Acadia management,
Mr. Shear and a representative from Jefferies with respect
to the proposed terms of the employment agreements of
Messrs. Shear and Boswell with the combined company.
On April 18, 2011, Arent Fox provided Kirkland &
Ellis with a revised draft of the merger agreement.
During the weeks of April 18th and April 25th,
the parties and their respective counsel continued to discuss
the merger agreement and the proposed structure of the
transaction and the parties continued to conduct their
respective due diligence. In particular, the parties decided to
revise the merger agreement to reflect that PHC would merge with
and into a subsidiary of Acadia and that Acadia would issue
common stock to the former PHC stockholders representing 22.5%
of the combined company on a fully diluted basis (as defined in
the merger agreement).
On April 25, 2011, Mr. Shear updated the PHC board of
directors on discussions with Acadia, including the engagement
of accountants to conduct financial due diligence. Following the
meeting, Mr. Grieco retained SRR on behalf of the PHC board
of directors to provide an opinion to the PHC board of directors
with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view of
(i) the proposed merger consideration to be received by
holders of PHCs common stock (in the aggregate) and
(ii) the proposed merger consideration to be received by
holders of PHCs Class A Common Stock (in the
aggregate). On May 5, 2011, representatives of SRR met with
Acadia management in Franklin, Tennessee in connection with
SRRs review of Acadia.
On May 3, 2011, Kirkland & Ellis distributed a
revised draft of the merger agreement to Arent Fox that
reflected a structure in which PHC would merge with and into an
Acadia entity. After discussing the revised draft,
Kirkland & Ellis distributed a further revised draft
of the merger agreement to Arent Fox on May 9, 2011 that
reflected the status of negotiations to date.
On May 9, 2011, a meeting of the PHC board of directors was
held in Peabody, Massachusetts at which Jefferies presented a
summary of the combination, including a discussion of certain
deal terms, financing and pro forma financial statements for the
combined company. Mr. Shear and Jefferies, based upon their
familiarity with the participants in the behavioral health
market, also discussed with the PHC board of directors the
absence of other viable candidates for a combination with PHC.
On May 11, 2011, Arent Fox delivered to
Kirkland & Ellis a revised draft of the merger
agreement reflecting the status of current negotiations.
On May 12, 2011, Jefferies Finance delivered to Acadia a
draft commitment letter and a draft engagement letter with
respect to Jefferies Finances proposed financing of the
combination.
52
During the negotiations regarding the merger agreement, the
parties negotiated closing conditions, covenants and termination
provisions of the merger agreement, including the termination
fee and expense reimbursement provisions set forth in the merger
agreement. Acadia had initially requested a termination fee of
$5 million. PHC rejected this proposal, at which point
Acadia proposed a termination fee of up to $3 million.
Subsequently, PHC proposed a fee of $2 million payable by
PHC upon its acceptance of a superior offer and a
break-up fee
of $6 million payable by Acadia. Acadia proposed that
PHCs fee would be payable upon the happening of specified
events, including termination due to a failure to consummate the
merger by the end date, failure to receive stockholder approval
or breach by PHC of its representations and warranties.
Following extensive negotiation, the parties agreed that PHC may
adversely change its recommendation under certain circumstances
if it receives a superior proposal, as described in the merger
agreement. PHC would pay Acadia a termination fee of
$3 million in the event the merger agreement is terminated
because the PHC board of directors has adversely changed its
recommendation to approve the merger or if PHC enters into or
consummates an alternative transaction within 12 months of
the merger agreement being terminated because the merger has not
been consummated by the December 15, 2011, PHC has not
obtained the required stockholder approval or PHC would be
unable to satisfy its closing conditions regarding its covenants
and agreements or representations and warranties. Additionally,
if either party terminates the merger agreement as a result of
the other party breaching any of its covenants, agreements,
representations or warranties such that a condition related to
close would not be satisfied (and the termination fee is not
otherwise payable in connection with such termination), the
breaching party will pay (in four annual payments) up to
$1 million of the non-breaching parties reasonably
documented
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
actually incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement, with the first annual
installment due within two business days of such termination,
and the remaining payments being made on the first, second and
third anniversary of such termination date.
During the weeks of May 9th and May 16th,
Kirkland & Ellis and Acadia continued to negotiate
with Jefferies Finance and its counsel the terms of the proposed
debt financing.
On May 13, 2011, the Acadia board of directors held a
telephonic meeting. Kirkland & Ellis and members of
Acadias management also attended the meeting
telephonically. Acadias CFO reviewed the financial terms
of the proposed merger. Kirkland & Ellis reviewed the
terms of the merger agreement.
On May 15, 2011, Kirkland & Ellis distributed a
revised draft of the merger agreement to Arent Fox, reflecting
the status of continued negotiations.
The Acadia board of directors held a subsequent telephonic
meeting on May 16, 2011. At this meeting,
Kirkland & Ellis reviewed the terms of the merger
agreement with the Acadia board of directors. Acadias
General Counsel and representatives of Kirkland &
Ellis reviewed with the Acadia board of directors additional due
diligence findings and representatives of Kirkland &
Ellis reviewed the terms of the merger agreement. After further
discussion, the Acadia board of directors then approved
Acadias entering into the merger agreement and authorized
Acadia management to finalize the merger agreement.
On May 16, 2011, Mr. Shear updated the PHC board of
directors on the proposed terms of the merger agreement.
On May 17th, 19th, 20th and 22nd, Kirkland &
Ellis distributed revised drafts of the merger agreement to
Arent Fox, reflecting, in each case, the status of negotiations
at that time.
On May 19, 2011, the PHC board of directors met to consider
the proposed merger. Arent Fox, Jefferies and Mr. Grieco
reviewed the principal terms of the merger agreement and related
agreements, and SRR reviewed the financial analysis that it had
performed related to the consideration to be paid in the
proposed merger. After further discussion of the proposed
transaction, SRR provided the PHC board of directors with its
opinion that, as of that date, based upon certain assumptions
and qualifications, (i) the merger consideration to be
received by the holders of outstanding PHC common stock (in the
aggregate) is fair, from a financial point of view, to such
holders and (ii) the consideration to be paid to holders of
the PHC Class A Common Stock (in the aggregate) is fair,
from a financial point of view, to such holders. After further
discussion, the PHC board of directors voted (with
Mr. Shear abstaining from the vote) to approve the merger
agreement and authorized management to enter into the merger
53
agreement on behalf of PHC and submit the merger agreement to
PHCs stockholders for approval, subject to finalization of
the merger agreement.
On May 23, 2011, Acadia and PHC signed the merger agreement
and on May 24, 2011 issued a joint press release announcing
the signing. On May 23, 2011, certain members of PHCs
management, including Mr. Shear, entered into voting
agreements pursuant to which they agreed to vote in favor of the
merger.
Acadias
Reasons for the Merger
In approving and authorizing the merger and the merger
agreement, the Acadia board of directors considered a number of
factors, including, among others, the facts discussed in the
following paragraphs. Although the foregoing discussion sets
forth the material factors considered by the Acadia board in
reaching its determination, it may not include all of the
factors considered by the Acadia board. In light of the number
and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its
evaluation of the merger, the Acadia board did not consider it
practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise
assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in
reaching its determination. The Acadia board viewed its position
and determinations as being based on all of the information
available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In
addition, individual directors may have given different weight
to different factors.
In reaching its decision, the Acadia board consulted with
Acadias management with respect to strategic and
operational matters and with Acadias legal counsel with
respect to the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby. The decision of the Acadia board to enter
into the merger agreement was the result of careful
consideration by the Acadia board of numerous factors, including
the following positive factors that it believes will contribute
to the success of the combined enterprise:
|
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to diversify service types and payor mix;
|
|
|
|
the ability to expand the number of facilities and beds and
expand into additional new states;
|
|
|
|
Acadias and PHCs facilities are complementary and
their combination will increase geographic diversity;
|
|
|
|
the increased ability to access private and public equity
markets, including for purposes of acting on attractive
opportunities to further expand Acadias business;
|
|
|
|
Acadias management will provide additional resources and
has a demonstrated record of achievement;
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to expand PHCs internet and
telephonic-based support services, which include crisis
intervention, critical incidents coordination, employee
counselor support, client monitoring, case management and health
promotion;
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to retain 77.5% of the combined company while
achieving partial liquidity through a pre-merger dividend;
|
|
|
|
the fact that the merger will provide Acadia stockholders, who
currently hold shares in a private company, with shares of
common stock in a publicly traded company, which would provide
liquidity to Acadia stockholders;
|
|
|
|
the increased ability to access private and public equity
markets, including for purposes of acting on attractive
opportunities to further expand Acadias business; and
|
|
|
|
its understanding of Acadias business, operations,
financial condition and prospects, and of PHCs business,
operations, financial condition and prospects.
|
The Acadia board also identified and considered a number of
uncertainties and risks including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
the risk that the potential benefits of the merger might not be
realized;
|
|
|
|
the risk that the merger may not be completed;
|
54
|
|
|
|
|
the challenges, costs, resource constraints and risks of
entering into the merger agreement and integrating the
businesses of Acadia and PHC and the potential management,
customer and employee disruption that may be associated with the
merger;
|
|
|
|
the amount of indebtedness required to finance the merger and
the related restrictions to which the combined company would be
subject; and
|
|
|
|
various other applicable risks associated with the combined
company and the merger, including those described under the
section entitled Risk Factors beginning on
page 18 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
|
The Acadia board weighed the benefits, advantages and
opportunities against the negative factors described above,
including the possible diversion of management attention for an
extended period of time. The Acadia board realized that there
can be no assurance about future results, including results
expected or considered in the factors listed above. However, the
Acadia board concluded that the potential benefits significantly
outweighed the potential risks of completing the merger.
After taking into account these and other factors, the Acadia
board unanimously approved and authorized the merger agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger.
PHCs
Reasons for the Merger
In approving and authorizing the merger agreement, the PHC board
of directors considered a number of factors. Although the
following discussion sets forth the material factors considered
by the PHC board of directors in reaching its determination, it
may not include all of the factors considered by the PHC board
of directors. In light of the number and wide variety of factors
considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger
agreement, the PHC board of directors did not consider it
practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise
assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in
reaching its determination. The PHC board of directors viewed
its position and determinations as being based on all of the
information available and the factors presented to and
considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have
given different weight to different factors.
In reaching its decision, the PHC board of directors consulted
with PHCs management with respect to strategic and
operational matters and with PHCs legal counsel with
respect to the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby. The PHC board of directors also consulted
with Jefferies, PHCs financial advisor, with respect to
the financial aspects of the merger.
Among the factors considered by the PHC board of directors in
its decision to approve the merger agreement were the following:
|
|
|
|
|
its knowledge of PHCs business, operations, financial
condition, earnings and prospects, as well as the risks in
achieving those prospects;
|
|
|
|
its belief that the merger is more favorable to PHCs
stockholders than any other alternative reasonably available,
including the alternative of remaining a stand-alone,
independent company and seeking to grow by pursuing acquisitions
and the alternative of seeking another merger partner, as well
as the potential rewards, risks and uncertainties associated
with those alternatives;
|
|
|
|
the judgment, advice and analysis of PHCs senior
management with respect to the potential benefits of the merger,
based on the business, financial, accounting and legal due
diligence investigations performed with respect to Acadia;
|
|
|
|
the opinion of SRR to the PHC board of directors that the merger
consideration specified in the merger agreement was fair, from a
financial point of view, to the holders of PHC Class A
Common Stock (in the aggregate) and to the holders of all of the
PHC common stock (in the aggregate), as of the date thereof;
|
|
|
|
historical information concerning Acadias business,
financial performance and condition, funding ability,
operations, management and competitive position and the related
prospects for the combined company;
|
55
|
|
|
|
|
the fact that financial and other terms and conditions of the
merger agreement were the product of extensive arms-length
negotiations among the parties and were designed to provide as
much certainty as was possible that the merger would ultimately
be consummated on a timely basis;
|
|
|
|
the fact that Acadia obtained a firm commitment for the
financing necessary to complete the merger and the associated
transactions, including the fact that Jefferies Finance, an
affiliate of Jefferies, with PHCs prior consent, provided
the commitment;
|
|
|
|
the fact that negotiations were conducted under the oversight of
a lead independent director who is not an employee of PHC;
|
|
|
|
the fact that the lead independent director selected SRR to
provide its opinion to the PHC board of directors as to the
fairness of the merger consideration from a financial point of
view;
|
|
|
|
the fact that the merger agreement must be approved by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of PHC Class A Common Stock, voting
separately, as well as the vote of the holders of the PHC
Class A Common Stock and the PHC Class B Common Stock
voting together;
|
|
|
|
the current conditions in the behavioral health market and the
positioning of the combined company within that market after the
merger;
|
|
|
|
the current conditions of the equity and debt market, as it
relates to PHCs ability to raise additional capital from
new investors for the continued growth of PHCs business,
and as it relates to the potential prospects for the combined
company; and
|
|
|
|
the impact of the merger on PHCs employees.
|
In reaching its determination to approve the merger agreement,
the members of the PHC board of directors identified and
considered a number of the potential benefits of the merger,
including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Acadias assembled set of seasoned behavioral health
facilities;
|
|
|
|
PHCs and Acadias facilities are complementary and
their combination will increase geographic diversity;
|
|
|
|
the combination of the businesses will diversify the revenue and
the payor base;
|
|
|
|
the combination of the businesses will improve the scale of
operations and operating leverage;
|
|
|
|
Acadias management will provide additional resources and
has a demonstrated record of achievement;
|
|
|
|
the combined company will provide a platform for additional
acquisitions;
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to own 22.5% of the combined company on a fully
diluted basis (as defined in the merger agreement);
|
|
|
|
the combined companys greater outstanding equity should
result in increased stock liquidity and research
coverage; and
|
|
|
|
the combined company should have a greater range of options to
access private and public equity and debt markets to fund future
capital needs, which are likely be greater than the options
available to PHC alone.
|
The members of the PHC board of directors also identified and
considered a number of uncertainties and risks, including the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
the risk that the potential benefits of the merger might not be
realized;
|
|
|
|
the risk that Acadias stockholders will control the
combined company and the fact that Acadias stock ownership
is concentrated in the hands of relatively few stockholders;
|
|
|
|
the amount of indebtedness required to finance the merger and
the related restrictions to which the combined company would be
subject;
|
56
|
|
|
|
|
the interests that PHCs directors and executive officers
have with respect to the merger, in addition to their interests
as holders of PHC Class A Common Stock, as described in
The Merger Interests of PHCs Directors
and Executive Officers;
|
|
|
|
the possible diversion of management attention for an extended
period of time;
|
|
|
|
the substantial expenses expected to be incurred in connection
with the merger;
|
|
|
|
the risk that the merger may not be completed; and
|
|
|
|
various other applicable risks associated with the combined
company and the merger, including those described under the
section entitled Risk Factors beginning on
page 18 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
|
The PHC board of directors weighed the benefits, advantages and
opportunities of a potential transaction against the risk
factors described above. The PHC board of directors realized
that there can be no assurance about future results, including
results expected or considered in the factors listed above.
However, the PHC board of directors concluded that the potential
benefits significantly outweighed the potential risks of
completing the merger.
After taking into account these and other factors, the PHC board
of directors approved the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated therewith, including the merger.
The
Recommendation of the PHC Board of Directors
After careful consideration, the PHC board of directors (with
Mr. Shear abstaining) approved the merger agreement and
determined that the merger agreement is fair to, and in the best
interests of, the stockholders of PHC. Therefore, the PHC board
of directors recommends PHC stockholders vote FOR the approval
of the merger agreement.
In considering the recommendation of the PHC board of directors
with respect to the merger agreement, you should be aware that
the directors and executive officers of PHC have interests in
the merger that are different from, or are in addition to, the
interests of other PHC stockholders. Please see The
Merger Interests of PHCs Directors and
Executive Officers.
Acadia has obtained from PHCs directors and executive
officers their agreement to vote their shares of capital stock
to approve the merger agreement.
Opinion

On May 19, 2011, SRR delivered to the PHC board of
directors its oral opinion, which opinion was subsequently

assumptions made, matters considered and limitations as set

by the holders of outstanding shares of PHCs Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (in the aggregate)
was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, and
(ii) the merger consideration to be received by the holders
of the outstanding shares of PHCs Class A Common
Stock (in the aggregate) was fair, from a financial point of
view, to such holders.

|
SRR was not requested to opine as to, and its opinion does not
in any manner address: (i) PHCs underlying business
decision to proceed with or effect the merger, (ii) the
amount of the merger consideration to be paid to holders of
PHCs Class B Common Stock, any distribution paid to
Acadia stockholders, the allocation of the merger consideration
among the PHC stockholders or the amount per share of the merger
consideration, the amount of the merger consideration paid to
the holders of PHCs Class A Common Stock relative to
the merger consideration paid to the holders of PHCs
Class B Common Stock or relative to the merger
consideration paid to all holders of PHC common stock, or
any other term or condition of any agreement or document related
to, or the form or any other portion or aspect of, the merger,
except as expressly stated in its opinion letter, or
(iii) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of PHC,
Acadia or any other participant in the merger under any
applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
matters. Further, SRR was not requested to consider, and its
opinion does not address, the merits of the merger relative to
any alternative business strategies that may have existed for
PHC or the effect of any other transactions in which PHC might
have engaged, nor did SRR offer any opinion as to the terms of
the merger. Moreover, SRR was not engaged to recommend, and did
not recommend, a transaction price or exchange ratio, or
participate in the merger negotiations. Furthermore, no opinion,
counsel or interpretation was intended in matters that require
legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, tax or other similar
professional advice. SRRs opinion does not constitute, and
they have not made, a recommendation to the PHC board of
directors or any security holder of PHC or any other person as
to how to act or vote with respect to the merger or otherwise.
SRR also assumed, with PHCs consent, that the final
executed form of the merger agreement would not differ from
58
the draft of the merger agreement that they examined, that the
conditions to the merger as set forth in the draft merger
agreement would be satisfied, and that the merger would be
consummated on a timely basis in the manner contemplated by the
draft merger agreement, without any limitations, restrictions,
or conditions, regulatory or otherwise. SRR expressed no opinion
as to the price at which the shares of any of PHC, Acadia and
the combined company might trade at any time.
The SRR opinion was intended to be utilized by the PHC board of
directors as only one input to consider in its process of
analyzing the merger.
SRR assumed that the assets, liabilities, financial condition
and prospects of PHC and Acadia as of the date of its opinion
had not changed materially since the date of the most recent
financial information made available to them. SRR also assumed
and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial
and other information that was publicly available, furnished by
PHC or Acadia, or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with them,
and of the representations and warranties of PHC and Acadia
contained in the draft merger agreement, in each case without
independent verification of such information. SRR assumed,
without independent verification, that the financial forecasts
and projections, as well as the synergy estimates, provided to
them were reasonably prepared and reflected the best currently
available estimates of the future financial results of PHC,
Acadia and the combined company and represent reasonable
estimates, and SRR relied upon such forecasts, projections and
estimates in arriving at its opinion. SRR was not engaged to
assess the reasonableness or achievability of such forecasts,
projections and estimates or the assumptions upon which they
were based, and expressed no view as to the forecasts,
projections, estimates or assumptions. SRR assumed that the
merger would be consummated on the terms described in the merger
agreement, without any waiver of any material terms or
conditions by PHC or Acadia.
SRR did not conduct any physical inspection, evaluation or
appraisal of PHCs or Acadias facilities, assets or
liabilities. SRRs opinion was based on business, economic,
market and other conditions as they existed and could be
evaluated as of the date of its opinion letter. It should be
noted that although subsequent developments may affect its
opinion, SRR does not have any obligation to update, revise or
reaffirm its opinion.
SRR did not form a conclusion as to whether any individual
analysis, when considered independently of the other analyses
conducted by SRR, supported or failed to support its opinion.
SRR did not specifically rely or place any specific weight on
any individual analysis. Accordingly, SRR believes that the
analyses must be considered in their entirety, and that
selecting portions of the analyses or the factors it considered,
without considering all analyses and factors together, could
create an imperfect view of the processes underlying the
analyses performed by SRR in connection with the preparation of
its opinion.
The following is a brief summary of the material analyses
performed by SRR in connection with its oral opinion and the
preparation of its written opinion dated May 19, 2011. This
summary of financial analyses includes information presented in
tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial
analyses used by SRR, the tables must be read together with the
accompanying text. The tables alone do not constitute a complete
description of the financial analyses.
Financial
Analyses with respect to PHC
Historical
Trading Performance PHC
To provide context, SRR reviewed the historical stock price and
volume of PHC Class A Common Stock for the five-year period
ending May 17, 2011. SRR noted that the low and high
closing prices of PHC Class A Common Stock during this
period were $0.50 and $3.75 per share. SRR also noted that the
low and high closing prices during the three-year period ending
May 17, 2011 were $0.50 and $2.90 per share and during the
one-year period ending May 17, 2011 were $0.98 and $2.89
per share.
Discounted
Cash Flow Method PHC
SRR performed a discounted cash flow analysis of PHC in order to
derive an implied enterprise value of PHC based on the present
value of PHCs future cash flows. In performing its
discounted cash flow analysis of PHC, SRR relied on the
financial forecast prepared by PHC management. This financial
forecast includes PHC managements estimate of the impact
of the MeadowWood acquisition. The residual year growth rate was
provided by PHC management.
59
SRR estimated the debt free cash flows that PHC could generate
through the period ending December 31, 2015 based upon the
PHC management forecast. These cash flows were discounted to a
present value-equivalent using a range of discount rates of
13.5% to 14.5%, which was based upon PHCs estimated
weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and residual
year growth rates ranging from 2.5% to 3.5%. The estimated WACC
was based upon estimates of PHCs cost of equity capital,
cost of debt capital and an assumed capital structure, all of
which were based upon information from various independent
sources (including market risk-free interest rates, market
equity risk premiums, small stock risk premiums, equity betas
and corporate bond rates).
Based on the assumptions described above, the discounted cash
flow analysis indicated an implied enterprise value from
operations (EV) range for PHC of approximately
$67.3 million to $78.4 million.
Guideline
Company Method PHC
SRR reviewed and compared specific financial and operating data
relating to PHC to that of several publicly-traded companies
that SRR deemed to have certain characteristics that are similar
to those of PHC. These selected companies were:
|
|
|
|
|
Universal Health Services, Inc.,
|
|
|
|
Tenet Healthcare Corp.,
|
|
|
|
The GEO Group, Inc.,
|
|
|
|
Health Management Associates, Inc.,
|
|
|
|
Lifepoint Hospitals Inc., and
|
|
|
|
Community Health Systems, Inc.
|
SRR noted, however, that none of the selected publicly traded
companies is identical or directly comparable to PHC.
As part of its analysis, SRR reviewed multiples of EV of the
selected companies, which were calculated as equity value, plus
debt and preferred stock, plus minority interests, less cash and
cash equivalents, divided by the selected companies
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(commonly known as EBITDA), for the next fiscal year
(NFY) and NFY+1 estimates. Multiples for the
selected companies were based on stock prices for the selected
companies as of May 17, 2011. Estimates of future
performance for the selected companies were compiled from equity
analyst estimates, as provided by Capital IQ, Inc. This analysis
indicated the following EV multiples for the selected companies:

PHC financial metrics for 2011 and 2012 were taken from the
financial forecast for PHC provided by the management of PHC.
Based on this analysis and on SRRs judgment and experience
with respect to the differences
60
in size, profitability and risk, among other quantitative and
qualitative factors of PHC relative to the selected companies,
SRR selected for PHC a range of NFY EBITDA multiples of 7.5x to
8.0x and NFY+1 EBITDA multiples of 5.5x to 6.0x. This analysis
indicated a range of EV for PHC of approximately
$71.2 million to $76.8 million.
Merger
and Acquisition Method PHC
SRR identified for consideration in its analysis 12 recent
transactions (for which sufficient disclosure of financial terms
was publicly available) involving the acquisition of healthcare
companies that SRR deemed to have certain characteristics that
are similar to those of PHC. SRR noted, however, that none of
the companies included in the selected transactions is identical
or directly comparable to PHC and that none of the selected
transactions is identical or directly comparable to the merger.
SRR compared selected information of PHC with the corresponding
data indicated in the selected transactions.
SRR examined multiples of EV to latest twelve months
(LTM) EBITDA. Multiples for the selected
transactions were based upon the information available in the
latest financial statements issued prior to the transaction
announcement date. Financial data for the selected transactions
was obtained from various independent sources including Capital
IQ, Inc. The EV multiples implied by the selected transactions

Analyses with respect to Acadia
Discounted
Cash Flow Method Acadia
SRR performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Acadia in order
to derive an implied enterprise value of Acadia based on the
present value of Acadias future cash flows. In performing
its discounted cash flow analysis of Acadia, SRR relied on the
financial forecast prepared by Acadia management. The residual
year growth rate was provided by Acadia management.
SRR estimated the debt free cash flows that Acadia could
generate through the period ending December 31, 2015 based
upon the Acadia management forecast. These cash flows were
discounted to a present value-equivalent using a range of
discount rates of 11.5% to 12.5%, which was based upon
Acadias estimated WACC and residual year growth rates
ranging from 3.0% to 4.0%. The estimated WACC was based upon
estimates of Acadias cost of equity capital, cost of debt
capital and an assumed capital structure, all of which were
based upon information from various independent sources
(including market risk-free interest rates, market equity risk
premiums, small stock risk premiums, equity betas and corporate
bond rates).
Based on the assumptions described above, the discounted cash
flow analysis indicated an implied enterprise value range for
Acadia of approximately $356.4 million to
$432.3 million.
Guideline
Company Method Acadia
SRR reviewed and compared specific financial and operating data
relating to Acadia to that of the six selected publicly traded
companies described above with respect to its analysis of PHC.
SRR noted, however, that none of the selected publicly traded
companies is identical or directly comparable to Acadia.
Acadia financial metrics for 2011 and 2012 were taken from the
financial forecast for Acadia provided by the management of
Acadia. Based on this analysis, and on SRRs judgment and
experience with respect to the differences in size, historical
and projected growth rates, profitability and risk, among other
quantitative and qualitative factors of Acadia relative to the
selected companies, SRR selected a range of NFY EBITDA multiples
of 8.5x to 9.0x and NFY+1 EBITDA multiples of 8.0x to 8.5x. This
analysis indicated a range of EV for Acadia of approximately
$364.8 million to $386.9 million.

Analyses with respect to the Combined Company
Discounted
Cash Flow Method Combined Company
SRR performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the combined
company in order to derive an implied enterprise value of the
combined company based on the present value of the combined
companys estimated future cash flows. In performing its
discounted cash flow analysis of the combined company, SRR
relied on the financial forecast jointly prepared by PHC and
Acadia management. The residual year growth rate was jointly
provided by PHC and Acadia management.
SRR estimated the debt free cash flows that the combined company
could generate through the period ending December 31, 2015
based upon the joint management forecast. These cash flows were
discounted to a present value-equivalent using a range of
discount rates of 10.5% to 11.5%, which was based upon the
combined companys estimated WACC, and residual year growth
rates ranging from 3.0% to 4.0%. The estimated WACC was based
upon estimates of the combined companys cost of equity
capital, cost of debt capital and an assumed capital structure,
all of which were based upon information from various
independent sources (including market risk-free interest rates,
market equity risk premiums, small stock risk premiums, equity
betas and corporate bond rates).
Based on the assumptions described above, the discounted cash
flow indicated an implied enterprise value range for the
combined company of approximately $516.4 million to
$646.9 million.
63
Guideline
Company Method Combined Company
SRR reviewed and compared specific financial and operating data
relating to the combined company to that of the six publicly
traded companies described above with respect to its analysis of

traded companies is identical or directly comparable to the
combined company.
The combined companys estimated financial metrics for 2011
and 2012 were provided by the joint management of PHC and
Acadia. Based on this analysis, and on SRRs judgment and
experience with respect to the differences in size, historical
and projected growth rates, profitability and risk, among other
quantitative and qualitative factors of the combined company
relative to the selected companies, SRR selected a range of NFY
EBITDA multiples of 9.0x to 9.5x and NFY+1 EBITDA multiples of
8.0x to 8.5x. This analysis indicated a range of EV for the
combined company of approximately $499.0 million to
$528.5 million.
Merger
and Acquisition Method Combined Company
SRR compared selected information of to the combined company
with the corresponding data indicated in the 12 acquisition
transactions described above with respect to its analysis of
PHC. SRR noted, however, that none of the companies included in
the selected transactions is identical or directly comparable to
the combined company and that none of the selected transactions
is identical or directly comparable to the merger.
Based on this analysis, and on SRRs judgment and
experience with respect to the differences in size,
profitability and risk, among other quantitative and qualitative
factors of the combined company relative to the selected
companies, SRR selected a range of EV to EBITDA multiples of
9.0x to 10.0x. This analysis indicated a range of EV for the
combined company of approximately $496.8 million to
$552.0 million.
Summary
of Valuation Methodologies Combined

SRR utilized the enterprise values for to the combined company
implied by the discounted cash flow, guideline company and
merger and acquisition analyses described above in determining
an implied range of value of equity for the combined company.
After adjustments to implied enterprise value for debt and cash,
as provided by the management of PHC and Acadia, these analyses
indicated an implied range of equity value for the combined
company of $220.6 million to $292.4 million, as

Based on the implied equity values of PHC and Acadia resulting
from the financial analyses described above, SRR compared the
relative pre-merger equity contributions to the combined company
of both PHC and Acadia.
Based on the relative implied equity values of PHC and Acadia,
the holders of outstanding shares of PHC common stock (in the
aggregate) would contribute between 15.1% (based on the ratio of
the low-end implied equity
64
value of PHC to the sum of the low-end implied equity value of
PHC plus the high-end implied equity value of Acadia) and 19.5%
(based on the ratio of the high-end implied equity value of PHC
to the sum of the high-end implied equity value of PHC plus the
low-end implied equity value of Acadia) of the total pre-merger
combined implied equity value (prior to any distributions to
stockholders of PHC or Acadia).

SRR also analyzed the allocation of the implied equity value of
Acadia resulting from the financial analyses described above,
based on the allocation of capital of Acadia pursuant to the
terms of the merger (22.5% to the holders of PHC Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock), together with the
cash merger consideration to be paid to holders of PHCs
Class B Common Stock. This analysis indicated that the
holders of outstanding shares of PHC common stock (in the
aggregate) would receive between 17.3% and 18.3% of such total
value allocated between PHC and Acadia stockholders in the
merger (including the cash merger consideration to be paid to
holders of PHCs Class B Common Stock).

Class A
Consideration
SRR compared the implied value of the consideration to be
received by the holders of PHC Class A Common Stock with
the implied equity value of PHC Class A Common Stock
indicated by the financial analyses with respect to PHC
described above SRR noted that the range of implied equity value
of a PHC equivalent share of Acadia common stock is $2.50 to
$3.31 per share, compared to a stand-alone range of implied
equity value of PHC Class A Common Stock of $2.37 to $2.73
per share.

Accretion/Dilution
Analysis
SRR also prepared a pro forma analysis of the potential impact
of the merger on the forecasted earnings per share of PHC common
stock. Using the combined company financial forecast provided
jointly by the managements of PHC and Acadia, SRR calculated the
PHC equivalent pro forma earnings per share of the combined
company for 2011, 2012 and 2013. SRR compared the resulting
earnings per share with the earnings per share of PHC common
stock for each of those years as indicated in the financial
forecast for PHC prepared by management of PHC. This comparison
indicated that on a pro forma basis the merger would result in
earnings per PHC equivalent share that would be neutral compared
to the forecasted earnings per share of PHC common stock on a
stand-alone basis in 2011 and 2012, and accretive compared to
the forecasted earnings per share of PHC common stock on a
stand-alone basis in 2013.
General
In connection with the review of the proposed merger by the PHC
board of directors, SRR performed a variety of financial and
comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. The
preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is
not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary
description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the
summary described above, without considering the analyses as a
whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes
underlying SRRs opinion. In arriving at its fairness
determination, SRR considered the results of all the analyses
and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard
to any one analysis or factor considered by it for purposes of
its opinion. SRR made its determination as to fairness on the
basis of its experience and professional judgment after
considering the results of all the analyses. In addition, SRR
may have considered various assumptions more or less probable
than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations
resulting from any particular analysis or combination of
analyses described above should not be taken to be the view of
SRR with respect to the actual value of PHC, Acadia or to the
combined company. In performing its analyses, SRR made numerous
assumptions with respect to industry performance, general
business, regulatory, economic, market and financial conditions
and other matters. Many of these assumptions are beyond the
control of PHC and Acadia. Any estimates contained in SRRs
analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or
actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable
than those suggested by such estimates.
SRRs opinion was furnished for the use and benefit of the
PHC board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the
merger.
66
SRRs opinion and its presentation to the PHC board of
directors was one of many factors taken into consideration by
the PHC board of directors in deciding to approve the merger
agreement and the related documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby. Consequently, the analyses as described
above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of
the PHC board of directors with respect to the terms of the
merger or of whether the PHC board of directors would have been
willing to agree to different terms.
The issuance of its opinion was approved by a committee of SRR
authorized to approve opinions of this nature.
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated April 25, 2011, the
PHC board of directors engaged SRR to provide to the PHC board
of directors an opinion with respect to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, of the merger consideration to be
received by holders of the outstanding shares of PHCs
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (in the
aggregate) and of the merger consideration to be received by the
holders of the outstanding shares of PHCs Class A
Common Stock (in the aggregate). Under the terms of its
engagement letter, PHC has agreed to pay SRR a fee for its
services, of which a portion was payable upon signing of the
engagement letter and the remainder became payable upon delivery
of SRRs opinion. SRRs compensation is neither based
upon nor contingent on the results of its engagement or the
consummation of the merger. PHC has also agreed to reimburse SRR
for expenses reasonably incurred by SRR in performing its
services, including fees and expenses of its legal counsel, and
to indemnify SRR and related persons against liabilities,
including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising
out of its engagement. SRR has not been requested to opine to,
and its opinion does not address, the fairness of the amount or
nature of the compensation to any of PHCs officers,
directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to
the compensation to PHCs public stockholders.
The PHC board of directors selected SRR to provide an opinion to
the PHC board in connection with its consideration of the merger
because SRR is a financial advisory firm with experience in
similar transactions. SRR is regularly engaged in the valuation
of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers
and acquisitions, leveraged transactions, and private
placements. SRR has not previously provided financial advisory
services to PHC, Acadia Holdings or Acadia.
Certain
Financial Forecasts
PHC does not publicly disclose, as a matter of course, financial
forecasts as to future financial performance, earnings or other
results. PHC is especially cautious of making financial
forecasts for extended periods due to unpredictability of the
underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection
with the evaluation of the merger, PHC prepared and provided to
SRR certain non-public internal financial forecasts regarding
the projected future operations of PHC and the combined company,
in each case for the 2011 through 2015 fiscal years, in
connection with SRRs evaluation of the fairness of the
merger consideration. As a private company, Acadia does not
publicly disclose any financial information. However, it
provided to PHC and SRR for purposes of the foregoing financial
forecasts for Acadia for such periods.
A summary of these financial forecasts is not being included in
this proxy statement/prospectus to influence your decision
whether to vote for or against the proposal to approve the
merger agreement, but because these financial forecasts were
made available to SRR and the PHC board of directors for
purposes of evaluating the merger. The inclusion of this
information should not be regarded as an indication that Acadia,
PHC or any of their respective advisors or any other person
considered, or now considers, such financial forecasts to be
material or to be a reliable prediction of actual future
results. Each managements internal financial forecasts,
upon which the financial forecasts were based, are subjective in
many respects. There can be no assurance that these financial
forecasts will be realized or that actual results will not be
significantly higher or lower than forecasted. The financial
forecasts cover multiple years and such information by its
nature becomes subject to greater uncertainty with each
successive year. As a result, the inclusion of the financial
forecasts in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be
relied on as necessarily predictive of actual future events.
In addition, the financial forecasts were prepared solely for
internal use in evaluating the merger, and not with a view
toward public disclosure or toward complying with GAAP, the
published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections and the
use of non-GAAP measures or the guidelines established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for
preparation and presentation of prospective financial
information. The financial forecasts included below were
prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Acadia (with respect
to the Acadia financial
67
forecasts) and PHC (with respect to the PHC financial forecasts
and those of the combined company). None of Ernst &
Young, LLP or BDO USA, LLP or any other independent registered
public accounting firms have compiled, examined or performed any
procedures with respect to the financial forecasts contained
herein or expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance
on such information or its achievability. The reports of these
independent registered public accounting firms, which are
included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, relate to
the historical financial information of Acadia, YFCS, PHC and
HHC Delaware, as applicable. They do not extend to the financial
forecasts and should not be read to do so.
These financial forecasts were based on numerous variables and
assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the
control of Acadia and PHC. Important factors that may affect
actual results and cause these financial forecasts to not be
achieved include, but are not limited to, risks and
uncertainties relating to the Acadia and PHC businesses and that
of the combined company (including their ability to achieve
strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable
periods), industry performance, the regulatory environment,
general business and economic conditions and other factors
described under Risk Factors beginning on
page 18 of this proxy
statement/prospectus
and Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements beginning on page 30 of this proxy
statement/prospectus. In addition, the forecasts do not reflect
revised prospects for the Acadia, PHC or combined company
business, changes in general business or economic conditions or
any other transaction or event that has occurred or that may
occur and that was not anticipated at the time the financial
forecasts were prepared. As a result, actual results may differ
materially from those contained in these internal financial
forecasts. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these
financial forecasts will be realized or that the future
financial results of the combined company will not materially
vary from these financial forecasts.
The inclusion of a summary of these internal financial forecasts
in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an
indication that any of Acadia, PHC or their respective
affiliates, advisors or representatives considered these
internal financial forecasts to be predictive of actual future
events, and these internal financial forecasts should not be
relied upon as such nor should the information contained in
these internal financial forecasts be considered appropriate for
other purposes. None of Acadia, PHC or their respective
affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, managers or
representatives can give you any assurance that actual results
will not differ materially from these internal financial
forecasts, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update
or otherwise revise or reconcile these internal financial
forecasts to reflect circumstances existing after the date these
internal financial forecasts were generated or to reflect the
occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all
of the assumptions underlying these forecasts are shown to be in
error. Neither PHC nor Acadia intends to make publicly available
any update or other revision to these internal financial
forecasts, even in the event that any or all of the underlying
assumptions are shown to be in error.
None of Acadia, PHC or any of their respective affiliates,
advisors, officers, directors, managers or representatives made
or makes any representation to any stockholder or anyone else
regarding the information included in the financial forecasts
set forth below, which are forward-looking statements and speak
only as of the date they were prepared. Readers of this proxy
statement/prospectus are cautioned not to rely on the forecasted
financial information. The below forecasts for Acadia and PHC do
not give effect to the merger.

Acadias
Financing for the Merger
On July 12, 2011, Acadia entered into the Second Amendment
to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Second Amendment
will, among other things, permit the merger and other
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The
effectiveness of the Second Amendment is subject to certain
closing conditions as described in Acadia
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources Following the Merger Second
Amendment to Senior Secured Credit Facility, including
consummation of the merger and related transactions on or prior
to December 15, 2011.
In connection with the entry into the merger agreement, Acadia
received the Debt Commitment Letter from Jefferies Finance to
provide the Bridge Facility of up to $150 million in the
event that $150 million of Senior Notes are not issued by
Acadia to finance the merger. Net proceeds from the issuance of
$150 million of Senior Notes, or, if the Senior Notes are
not issued, drawings under the $150 million Bridge Facility
will be used, in addition to existing cash balances, to pay the
$5 million in cash payable to holders of PHC Class B
Common Stock in connection with the merger, pay a dividend to
Acadias existing stockholders, refinance certain existing
indebtedness of PHC and pay fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the merger.
The Bridge Facility is subject to certain closing conditions
described under Acadia Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources Debt Commitment Letter. The Bridge
Facility commitment will terminate on December 15, 2011, if
the closing of the Bridge Facility has not been consummated on
or before such date or if the merger agreement has been
terminated or if the merger has been abandoned. In addition, the
commitments to provide and arrange unsecured bridge loans will
terminate upon the issuance of the Senior Notes. Each of Acadia
and PHC is obligated under the merger agreement to use its
reasonable best efforts to arrange the debt financing on the
terms contemplated. The receipt of the debt financing on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter are
condition to the obligation of both Acadia and PHC to consummate
the merger.
Accounting
Treatment
Existing GAAP requires the use of the acquisition method of
accounting for business combinations. In applying the
acquisition method, it is necessary to identify the acquirer and
the acquiree for accounting purposes. In a business combination
effected through an exchange of equity interests, the entity
that issues the equity interests is generally considered the
acquirer, but there are other factors that must also be
considered. Acadia management considered these other factors and
determined that Acadia will be considered the acquirer of PHC
for accounting purposes. The total purchase price will be
allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed from PHC based on their fair values as of the date of
the completion of the transaction, with any excess allocated to
goodwill. Reports of financial condition and results of
operations of PHC issued after completion of the merger will
reflect PHCs balances and results after completion of the
merger but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the
historical financial position or results of operations of PHC.
Following the completion of the merger, the earnings of the
combined company will reflect acquisition accounting
adjustments; for example, additional depreciation of property,
plant and equipment, amortization of identified intangible
assets or other impacts from the purchase price allocation will
be recognized.
In accordance with existing GAAP, goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets resulting from the purchase business
combination will not be amortized but instead will be tested for
impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain
indicators are present). If Acadia management determines that
the value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
have become impaired, the combined company will incur an
impairment loss during the fiscal quarter in which the
determination is made.
Material
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the
Merger
The following discussion is a summary of certain material
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to
holders of PHC common stock and represents the opinion of Arent
Fox LLP, counsel to PHC, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP,
counsel to Acadia. This discussion is based on the Code,
applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder,
administrative rulings and judicial authorities, each as in
effect as of the date of this document and all of
72
which are subject to change at any time, possibly with
retroactive effect. In addition, this discussion does not
address any state, local or foreign tax consequences of the
merger.
This discussion addresses only PHC stockholders who hold PHC
common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of
Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for
investment). It does not address all aspects of
U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to a
particular PHC stockholder in light of that stockholders
individual circumstances or to a PHC stockholder that is subject
to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law,
including, without limitation, a stockholder that is:
|
|
|
|
|
a bank, insurance company or other financial institution;
|
|
|
|
a tax-exempt organization;
|
|
|
|
a mutual fund;
|
|
|
|
a holder that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not
a United States person within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code;
|
|
|
|
a holder who acquired its PHC common stock pursuant to the
exercise of an employee stock option or right or otherwise as
compensation;
|
|
|
|
a U.S. expatriate;
|
|
|
|
an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for
U.S. federal income tax purposes or an investor in such
partnership;
|
|
|
|
a dealer in securities;
|
|
|
|
a holder who has a functional currency other than the United
States dollar;
|
|
|
|
a holder who holds PHC common stock as part of a hedge, straddle
or conversion transaction;
|
|
|
|
a holder liable for the alternative minimum tax; or
|
|
|
|
a trader in securities who elects to apply a
mark-to-market
method of accounting.
|
This discussion does not address other U.S. federal tax
consequences (such as gift or estate taxes or alternative
minimum taxes), or consequences under state, local or foreign
tax laws, nor does it address certain tax reporting requirements
that may be applicable with respect to the transaction. Also,
this discussion does not address U.S. federal income tax
considerations applicable to holders of options or warrants to
purchase PHC common stock.
If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds PHC common
stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will
generally depend upon the status of the partner and the
activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership
holding PHC common stock should consult its own tax advisors
with respect to the consequences of the merger.
Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the specific
tax consequences to them of the merger in light of their
particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect
of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other
tax laws.
In the opinion of Arent Fox LLP, counsel to PHC, and
Kirkland & Ellis LLP, counsel to Acadia, (i) the
merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code, and (ii) PHC and Acadia
will each be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(b) of the Code. It is a condition to the
completion of the merger that Acadia and PHC each receives an
additional written opinion from its counsel, dated the effective
time, substantially to the same effect.
The opinions described above have been (or will be) based, in
part, on the accuracy of certain assumptions and representations
as to factual matters and covenants and undertakings. If any
such assumptions, representations, covenants or undertakings are
inaccurate as of the effective time of the merger, or are
violated in any material respect, the tax consequences to
holders of PHC common stock of the merger could differ
materially from those described below. No ruling has been or
will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service as to the
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. An
opinion of counsel represents counsels best legal judgment
but is not
73
binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court.
Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the Internal
Revenue Service or a court would not disagree with or challenge
any of the conclusions described herein.
Assuming treatment of the merger as a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and of each of PHC
and Acadia as a party to the reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(b) of the Code, is proper, the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences to a holder of PHC
common stock will differ depending on whether (i) the
holders shares are exchanged in the merger solely for
shares of Acadia common stock (except for cash received in lieu
of a fractional share of Acadia common stock) or (ii) the
holders shares are exchanged in the merger for shares of
Acadia common stock and cash.
The material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a
holder of PHC common stock whose shares are exchanged in the
merger solely for shares of Acadia common stock will be as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
a holder will not recognize capital gain or loss on the exchange
(except as described below in connection with receipt of cash in
lieu of a fractional share);
|
|
|
|
a holder will have an aggregate tax basis in the shares of
Acadia common stock received in the exchange (including a
fractional share of Acadia common stock for which cash is
received) equal to the stockholders aggregate tax basis in
its shares of PHC common stock surrendered;
|
|
|
|
the holding period of the shares of Acadia common stock received
in the exchange will include the holding period of the shares of
PHC common stock surrendered in exchange therefor;
|
|
|
|
a holder receiving cash in lieu of a fractional share of Acadia
common stock will generally be treated as if it received the
fractional share in the merger and then received cash in
redemption thereof. It should generally recognize capital gain
or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of
cash received and the tax basis in the fractional share
(determined as described above). Any gain or loss recognized
will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective
time, the shares of PHC common stock exchanged were held for
more than one year.
|
The material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a
holder of PHC common stock whose shares are exchanged in the
merger for shares of Acadia common stock and cash will be as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
a holder will recognize capital gain (but not loss) realized on
the exchange in an amount not exceeding the amount of cash
received (excluding cash received in lieu of a fractional share
of Acadia common stock). Any gain recognized will be long-term
capital gain if, as of the effective time, the shares of PHC
common stock exchanged were held for more than one year unless
the holders receipt of cash has the effect of a dividend
distribution, as described below;
|
|
|
|
a holder will have an aggregate tax basis in the shares of
Acadia common stock received in the exchange (including a
fractional share of Acadia common stock for which cash is
received) equal to the stockholders aggregate tax basis in
its shares of PHC common stock surrendered, reduced by the
amount of cash received (excluding cash received in lieu of a
fractional share of Acadia common stock) and increased by the
amount of any gain recognized by the holder in the exchange (but
excluding any gain or loss from the deemed receipt and
redemption of any fractional share);
|
|
|
|
the holding period of the shares of Acadia common stock received
in the exchange will include the holding period of the shares of
PHC common stock surrendered in exchange therefor; and
|
|
|
|
a holder will recognize capital gain or loss with respect to
cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Acadia common
stock equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of
cash received and the tax basis in the fractional share
(determined as described above). Any gain or loss recognized
will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective
time, the shares of PHC common stock exchanged were held for
more than one year.
|
If a holder acquired different blocks of PHC common stock at
different times or different prices, the foregoing rules
generally will be applied separately with reference to each
block of PHC common stock. In particular, in computing the
amount of gain recognized, if any, a holder of PHC common stock
may not offset a loss realized on one block of shares against
the gain realized on another block of shares.
74
If the receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a
dividend under the provisions of the Code, then, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any gain recognized will be treated as a dividend
to the extent of such stockholders ratable share of the
undistributed earnings and profits of PHC. Holders should
consult their tax advisors as to the possibility that all or a
portion of any cash received in exchange for their shares of PHC
common stock will be treated as a dividend.
Reporting Requirements of Holders. Holders of
PHC common stock receiving Acadia common stock in the merger
will be required to maintain records pertaining to the merger.
Holders (i) whose tax basis in the PHC common stock
surrendered in the merger equals or exceeds $1,000,000, or
(ii) who (a) with respect to those PHC stockholders
owning only shares of PHC Class A Common Stock, own
immediately before the merger at least 5% (by vote or value) of
the total outstanding stock of PHC, or (b) with respect to
all other PHC stockholders, own at least 1% (by vote or value)
of the total outstanding stock of PHC, are subject to certain
requirements with respect to the merger and should consult their
tax advisers with respect to these and other reporting
requirements.
Information Reporting and Backup
Withholding. A holder may be subject to
information reporting and backup withholding at a rate of 28% on
any cash payment received (including any cash received in lieu
of a fractional share of Acadia common stock), unless such
stockholder properly establishes an exemption or provides a
correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies
with backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the
backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be
allowed as a refund or credit against such holders United
States federal income tax liability, provided the required
information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
Appraisal
Rights
General. Section 13.02(a) of the MBCA
provides generally that stockholders of Massachusetts
corporations are entitled to appraisal rights in the event of a
merger.
Any stockholder who wishes to exercise appraisal rights or who
wishes to preserve that right should review carefully the
following discussion and Sections 13.01 through 13.31 of
Part 13 of the MBCA, attached as Annex D to this proxy
statement/prospectus. Failure to strictly comply with the
procedures specified in Part 13 of the MBCA will result in
the loss of appraisal rights.
Notice of Intent and Demand for Payment. Any
holder of PHC common stock wishing to exercise the right to
demand appraisal under Part 13 of the MBCA must satisfy
each of the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
|
before the vote to approve the merger agreement is taken, a PHC
stockholder electing to exercise his or her appraisal rights
must deliver to PHC written notice of such stockholders
intent to demand payment for his or her shares if the merger is
completed. The written notice should be delivered to Paula C.
Wurts, Clerk, PHC, Inc., 200 Lake Street, Suite 102,
Peabody, MA 01960. PHC recommends you send your notice by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; and
|
|
|
|
a PHC stockholder electing to exercise his or her appraisal
rights must NOT vote in favor of the proposal to approve
the merger agreement. If a stockholder returns a signed proxy
but does not specify a vote against the proposal to approve the
merger agreement or a direction to abstain, the proxy will be
voted FOR the merger agreement, which will have the
effect of waiving that stockholders appraisal rights.
|
Generally, a stockholder may assert appraisal rights only if the
stockholder seeks them with respect to all of the holders
shares of common stock. Stockholders of record for more than one
beneficial stockholder may assert appraisal rights with respect
to fewer than all the shares registered in such
stockholders name as holder of record, provided that such
stockholder notifies PHC in writing of the name and address of
each beneficial stockholder on whose behalf such stockholder is
asserting appraisal rights. For a beneficial stockholder to
assert appraisal rights, such beneficial stockholder must submit
to PHC such record stockholders written consent to the
assertion of such rights not fewer than 40 nor more than
60 days after PHC sends out written notice to the
stockholder of appraisal rights, as described below.
Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or
other nominee forms and who wish to exercise appraisal rights
are urged to consult with their brokers to determine the
appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal
by the nominee.
75
Appraisal Notice and Form. If the merger
agreement is approved, within 10 days after the effective
date of the merger, PHC will deliver a written appraisal notice
and a form containing certain information to all stockholders
who have properly demanded appraisal rights. The appraisal
notice will include a copy of Part 13 of the MBCA and a
form that specifies the date of the first announcement to
stockholders of the principal terms of the merger. The form will
require the stockholder asserting appraisal rights to certify
(i) whether or not beneficial ownership of the shares for
which appraisal rights are asserted were acquired before the
date of the first announcement of the proposed merger and
(ii) that the stockholder did not vote for the proposal to
approve the merger agreement. The form provided with the
appraisal notice will state:
|
|
|
|
|
where the form must be returned, where certificates for shares
must be deposited and the date by which such certificates must
be deposited;
|
|
|
|
the date on which the form is due, which will not be fewer than
40 nor more than 60 days after the date the appraisal
notice and form are sent, and notice that the stockholder shall
have waived the right to demand appraisal with respect to such
shares unless the form is received by the specified date;
|
|
|
|
PHCs estimate of the fair value of the shares;
|
|
|
|
that, if requested in writing, PHC will provide within
10 days after the date on which all forms are due, the
number of stockholders who have returned the forms and the total
number of shares owned by such stockholders; and
|
|
|
|
the date by which the stockholder may withdraw his or her notice
of intent to demand appraisal rights, which date will be within
20 days after the date on which all forms are due.
|
Perfection of Rights. A stockholder who wishes
to exercise appraisal rights shall execute and return the form
provided, with all certifications completed, and deposit such
stockholders share certificates in accordance with the
terms of the notice. Once a stockholder deposits his or her
share certificates, such stockholder loses all rights as a
stockholder unless the stockholder withdraws his or her election
in accordance with the withdrawal procedures, which are
summarized below. If a stockholder fails to make the
certification on the form that such stockholder acquired the
shares before the date of the first announcement of the proposed
merger, PHC may elect to treat those shares as
after-acquired shares, as described below.
Withdrawal of Appraisal Rights. A stockholder
who has otherwise properly perfected his or her appraisal rights
may decline to exercise his or her appraisal rights and withdraw
from the appraisal process by notifying PHC in writing within
20 days after the date on which all forms were due. If the
stockholder fails to withdraw from the appraisal process before
the expiration of the withdrawal period, such stockholder may
not thereafter withdraw without PHCs written consent.
Payment. Within 30 days after the date on
which the form described above is due, PHC will pay in cash to
each stockholder who has properly perfected his or her appraisal
rights the amount it estimates to be the fair value of their
shares, plus interest but subject to any applicable withholding
taxes. The payment to each stockholder will be accompanied by:
|
|
|
|
|
PHCs financial statements;
|
|
|
|
a statement of PHCs estimate of the fair value of the
shares, which estimate will equal or exceed the estimate given
with the appraisal notice; and
|
|
|
|
a statement that stockholders may demand further payment if the
stockholder is dissatisfied with the payment or offer in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.26 of the
MBCA (as described below).
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the stockholder
is demanding payment for after-acquired shares, PHC
may elect to withhold payment from such stockholder. If PHC
elects to withhold payment, it must, within 30 days after
the date on which the form described above is due, notify all
stockholder who have after-acquired shares:
|
|
|
|
|
of the information in PHCs financial statements;
|
76
|
|
|
|
|
of PHCs estimate of the fair value of the shares, which
estimate will equal or exceed the estimate given with the
appraisal notice;
|
|
|
|
that the stockholders may accept the estimate of fair value,
plus interest, in full satisfaction of their demands or demand
appraisal under Section 13.26 of the MBCA (as described
below);
|
|
|
|
that those stockholders who wish to accept PHCs offer
shall notify PHC of their acceptance within 30 days after
receiving such offer; and
|
|
|
|
that those stockholders who do not satisfy the requirements for
demanding appraisal under Section 13.26 of the MBCA shall
be deemed to have accepted PHCs offer.
|
Within 10 days after receiving the stockholders
acceptance of the offer, PHC will pay in cash the amount offered
to each stockholder who agreed to accept PHCs offer for
his or her after-acquired shares. Within
40 days after sending the notice to holders of
after-acquired shares, PHC must pay in cash the
amount offered to each stockholder who does not satisfy the
requirements for demanding appraisal under Section 13.26 of
the MBCA.
Procedure if Stockholder is Dissatisfied with Payment or
Offer. Pursuant to Section 13.26 of the
MBCA, within 30 days after receipt of payment for a
stockholders shares, a stockholder who is dissatisfied
with the amount of the payment to be received shall notify PHC
in writing of that stockholders estimate of the fair value
of the shares and demand payment of that estimate plus interest,
less any payment previously paid. In addition, within
30 days after receiving PHCs offer to pay for a
stockholders after-acquired shares, a
stockholder holding after-acquired shares who was
offered payment (as described above) and who is dissatisfied
with that offer shall reject the offer and demand payment of the
stockholders stated estimate of the fair value of the
shares plus interest. A stockholders failure to notify PHC
within such 30 day period waives the right to demand
payment and shall be entitled only to the payment made or
offered as described above.
Court Proceedings. If a stockholder makes a
proper and timely demand for payment that remains unsettled, PHC
will commence an equitable proceeding within 60 days after
receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine
the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If PHC does
not commence the proceeding within the
60-day
period, it will pay in cash to each stockholder the amount the
stockholder demanded, plus interest.
Any stockholder wishing to exercise appraisal rights is urged
to consult legal counsel before attempting to exercise appraisal
rights. Failure to strictly comply with all of the procedures
set forth in Part 13 of the MBCA may result in the loss of
a stockholders statutory appraisal rights.
Federal
Securities Laws Consequences
All shares of Acadia common stock to be issued to PHC
stockholders in connection with the merger will be freely
transferable under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the
Securities Act) and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (as amended, the Exchange Act), except for
shares issued to any stockholder who may be deemed to be an
affiliate of Acadia for purposes of Rule 144
under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be
affiliates include individuals or entities that control, are
controlled by, or under the common control with Acadia and may
include the executive officers, directors and significant
stockholders of Acadia. This proxy statement/prospectus does not
cover resales of Acadia common stock received by any person upon
the completion of the merger, and no person is authorized to
make any use of this proxy statement/prospectus in connection
with any resale.
Interests
of PHCs Directors and Executive Officers
PHCs directors and executive officers have interests in
the merger as individuals in addition to, and that may be
different from, the interests of PHCs stockholders. The
PHC board of directors was aware of these interests and
considered them, among other matters, in its decision to approve
the merger agreement.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger,
holders of PHCs Class B Common Stock will
collectively receive cash consideration of $5,000,000.
Mr. Shear beneficially owns approximately 93.2% of
PHCs Class B Common Stock and will be entitled to
receive cash merger consideration of approximately
$4.7 million.
77
PHCs executive officers, Messrs. Shear and Boswell
and Ms. Paula C. Wurts, hold stock options to purchase
shares of PHC Class A Common Stock, subject to various
vesting provisions. Pursuant to the merger agreement and except
as discussed below, upon completion of the merger, Acadia will
assume these options in accordance with their existing terms,
with the number of shares and the exercise prices adjusted in
accordance with the merger exchange rate. With respect to
assumed options granted to current PHC directors (i) all
such assumed options (other than those held by Mr. Shear)
will be fully vested at closing and (ii) such assumed
options will not be terminate as a result of such holder ceasing
or failing to be a director or employee and will be fully
exercisable at any time prior to the expiration of the option
term. Mr. Shear currently holds 170,000 options exercisable
at prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $2.95 per share,
Mr. Boswell currently holds 85,000 options exercisable at
prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $2.95 per share and
Ms. Wurts currently holds 85,000 options exercisable at
prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $2.95 per share.
In addition to the options held by Mr. Shear, PHCs
other directors, Messrs. David E. Dangerfield, William F.
Grieco, Howard W. Phillips, Donald E. Robar and Douglas J.
Smith, hold stock options to purchase shares of PHC Class A
Common Stock. Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon completion
of the merger, Acadia will issue substitute options for these
options with terms substantially the same as their existing
terms, with the number of shares and the exercise prices
adjusted in accordance with the merger exchange rate.
Mr. Dangerfield currently holds 147,500 options exercisable
at prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $3.18 per share,
Mr. Grieco currently holds 195,000 options exercisable at
prices ranging from $0.22 per share to $3.18 per share,
Mr. Phillips currently holds 127,500 options exercisable at
prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $3.18 per share,
Mr. Robar currently holds 157,500 options exercisable at
prices ranging from $0.35 per share to $3.18 per share and
Mr. Smith currently holds 20,000 options exercisable at
$1.65 per share.
Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and Ms. Wurts are
participants in the PHC
change-in-control
supplemental benefit plan. Pursuant to the plan, upon the
closing of the merger, Messrs. Shear and Boswell and
Ms. Wurts are entitled to receive change in control
payments of approximately $1,530,000, $465,000 and $408,000,
respectively, payable as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than 30 days, following the date of the closing of
the merger.
After the closing of the merger, Messrs. Shear and Boswell
are expected to be employed by the combined company. See
Acadia Management After the Merger Acadia
Employment Agreements for a description of
Mr. Shears employment agreement.
The term of Mr. Boswells employment agreement will
commence immediately following the closing of the merger. It has
a two year term subject to automatic one year extensions unless
earlier terminated. Mr. Boswells annual base salary
is $226,000. He is also eligible to receive an annual bonus up
to 60% of his base salary, based upon the satisfaction of
performance criteria established by Acadias board of
directors or compensation committee, as applicable.
In addition to base salary, Mr. Boswell is entitled to
participate in his sole discretion in all of Acadias
employee benefit programs for which senior executive officers
are generally eligible, on terms at least as favorable as those
received by such executives from PHC immediately prior to the
closing of the merger. Furthermore, during the term of his
employment agreement, Acadia shall pay 100% of the monthly
premiums or other costs associated with Mr. Boswells
participation in such employee benefit programs and benefits.
Upon the closing of the merger, Messrs. Shear and Grieco
will join the Acadia board of directors. In addition, upon the
closing of the merger, Mr. Shear will become Acadias
Executive Vice Chairman. After the closing of the merger,
Messrs. Shear and Grieco may receive stock options to
purchase shares of Acadia common stock.
Acadia will maintain all rights to indemnification existing in
favor of the PHC directors and officers for their acts and
omissions occurring prior to the completion of the merger and
will maintain PHCs directors and officers
liability insurance to cover any such liabilities for six years
following the completion of the merger.
As a result of the foregoing, the directors and executive
officers of PHC may be more likely to vote to approve the merger
than PHC stockholders generally.
78
Regulatory
Approvals
Under the terms of the merger agreement, the merger cannot be
completed until (i) any waiting period (and any extension
thereof) applicable to the consummation of the merger under the
HSR Act and any other antitrust, competition, or trade
regulation law, as applicable, shall have expired or been
terminated and (ii) Acadia and PHC and their respective
subsidiaries shall have timely obtained from each governmental
authority all approvals, waivers and consents, if any, necessary
for the consummation of or in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement, free of any condition that
reasonably would be expected to have a Pioneer Material
Adverse Effect or an Acadia Material Adverse
Effect (each as defined in the merger agreement) or a
material adverse effect on the parties ability to
consummate such transactions.
Notification will be required under the HSR Act, and the rules
promulgated thereunder by the FTC, if the market price of the
voting securities of PHC calculated pursuant to the HSR Act as
the lowest closing quotation within 45 calendar days prior to
the closing of the merger, exceeds $66 million. If notification
is required, the merger cannot be completed until each of Acadia
and PHC file a notification and report form with the FTC and the
Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice under the HSR
Act and the applicable waiting period has expired or been
terminated. Acadia and/or PHC currently intend to obtain
approvals from, file new license and/or permit applications
with, and provide notice to applicable governmental authorities
in connection with the merger.
Litigation
Relating to the Merger
On June 2, 2011, a putative stockholder class action
lawsuit was filed in Massachusetts state court, MAZ Partners
LP v. Bruce A. Shear, et al., C.A.
No. 11-1041,
against PHC, the members of the PHC board of directors, and
Acadia and Merger Sub. The complaint asserts that the members of
the PHC board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by
causing PHC to enter into the merger agreement and further
asserts that Acadia and Merger Sub aided and abetted those
alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks, among
other relief, an order enjoining the consummation of the merger
and rescinding the merger agreement. On June 13, 2011, a
second lawsuit was filed in federal district court in
Massachusetts, Blakeslee v. PHC, Inc., et al.,
No. 11-cv-11049,
making essentially the same allegations against the same
defendants. On June 21, 2011, PHC removed the MAZ Partners
case to federal court (11-cv-11099). On July 7, 2011, the
parties to the MAZ Partners LP case moved to consolidate that
action with the Blakeslee case and asked the court to approve a
schedule for discovery and a potential hearing on
plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction. PHC,
Acadia, and Merger Sub believe that these lawsuits are without
merit and intend to defend against them vigorously.
THE
MERGER AGREEMENT
The following summary describes certain material provisions
of the merger agreement. The full text of the merger agreement
is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus
and is incorporated herein by reference. This summary may not
contain all of the information that is important to you, and you
are encouraged to read carefully the entire merger agreement.
The following description is subject to, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, the merger agreement.
The merger agreement has been included to provide you with
information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide
any other factual information about Acadia or PHC. Such
information can be found elsewhere in this document and in the
other public filings PHC makes with the SEC, which are available
without charge at www.sec.gov.
The representations and warranties described below and included
in the merger agreement were made by each of Acadia and PHC to
the other. These representations and warranties were made as of
specific dates and may be subject to important qualifications,
limitations and supplemental information agreed to by Acadia and
PHC in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger
agreement. In addition, the representations and warranties may
have been included in the merger agreement for the purpose of
allocating risk between Acadia and PHC rather than to establish
matters as facts. The merger agreement is described in, and
included as Annex A hereto, only to provide you with
information regarding its terms and conditions, and not to
provide any other factual information regarding PHC, Acadia or
their respective businesses. Accordingly, the representations
and warranties and other provisions of
79
the merger agreement should not be read alone, and you should
read the information provided elsewhere in this document for
information regarding Acadia and PHC and their respective
businesses.
Structure
of the Merger
At the effective time of the merger, PHC will merge with and
into Acadias wholly-owned subsidiary, Merger Sub. Upon
completion of the merger, Merger Sub will be the surviving
company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia.
Effective
Time of the Merger
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement will occur no later than the second business day after
the last of the conditions to the transaction have been
satisfied or waived, or at another time as Acadia and PHC may
agree. Acadia and PHC hope to close the merger in the third
quarter of 2011. Contemporaneously with the closing, Acadia and
PHC will file a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The transaction will become
effective upon the filing of this certificate or at another time
as Acadia and PHC agree in writing and specify in the
certificate of merger.
Managers
and Officers
At the effective time, the managers and officers of Merger Sub
will be the managers and officers of the surviving company,
subject to change thereafter.
Conversion
of PHC Shares
Each share of PHC Class A Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be
automatically converted into and become exchangeable for a
number of shares of common stock of Acadia equal to the
Class A merger consideration. Each share of PHC
Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time will be automatically converted into
and become exchangeable for a number of shares of common stock
of Acadia and portion of cash equal to the Class B merger
consideration.
The Class A merger consideration is one-quarter of one
fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of Acadia. The Class B merger
consideration is one-quarter of one fully paid and nonassessable
share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Acadia and
an amount of cash equal to $5,000,000 divided by the
aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of PHC
Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the effective
time of the merger (other than (i) any shares of PHC
Class B Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to the merger
agreement and (ii) any share of PHC Class B Common
Stock owned by a subsidiary of PHC). Based on shares of PHC
Class B Common Stock outstanding as of May 24, 2011,
this calculation would have resulted in a cash payment of $6.46
per share of PHC Class B Common Stock.
Assumption
of Stock Options
When the merger becomes effective, each outstanding PHC option
granted under the PHC stock option plans will be assumed by
Acadia. Except with respect to stock options previously granted
to PHC directors (other than Mr. Shear), each PHC option so
assumed by Acadia will continue to have the same terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable PHC stock option plan
immediately prior to the effective time, except that
(i) each PHC option will be exercisable for one-quarter of
one share of Acadia common stock for each share of PHC common
stock subject to such PHC stock option and (ii) the per
share exercise price for the shares of Acadia common stock
issuable upon exercise of such assumed PHC option will be equal
to four multiplied by the exercise price per share of PHC
common stock at which such PHC option was exercisable
immediately prior to the effective time, rounded up to the
nearest whole cent. All of the assumed stock options issued to
Messrs. Howard Phillips, William Grieco, David Dangerfield,
Donald Robar and Doug Smith will be 100% vested at the time of
issuance by Acadia. All such options (along with assumed stock
options issued to Mr. Shear) will not terminate as a result
of the holder ceasing to be an employee or director and will be
fully exercisable at any time prior to the end of the option
term.
80
Assumption
of Warrants
At the completion of the merger, each outstanding PHC warrant
will be assumed by Acadia. Each PHC warrant so assumed by Acadia
will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable PHC warrant, except that
(i) each PHC warrant will be exercisable for one-quarter of
one share of Acadia common stock for each share of PHC common
stock that was issuable upon exercise of such PHC warrant
immediately prior to the effective time and (ii) the per
share exercise price for the shares of Acadia common stock
issuable upon exercise of such assumed PHC warrant will be equal
to four multiplied by the exercise price per share of PHC
common stock at which such PHC warrant was exercisable
immediately prior to the effective time, rounded up to the
nearest whole cent.
Acadia
Common Stock Split
Prior to the effective time of the merger, Acadia will
consummate a stock split, reverse stock split or issuance of
Acadia common stock such that the shares of Acadia common stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time
will, immediately following the effective time, equal 77.5% of
the fully diluted shares of Acadia (as calculated in accordance
with the merger agreement).
Acadia
Dividend
Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Acadia
will have the right to declare and, if so declared, at the
effective time Acadia will pay a cash dividend to the holders of
shares Acadia common stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time of the merger of up to $90,000,000
less $15,559,000 of the transaction fee payable to Waud Capital
Partners in connection with the termination of the Professional
Services Agreement. While under no obligation to make a
dividend, it is Acadias intention to declare such
dividend. At the effective time of the merger, if the net
proceeds (as defined in the merger agreement) are not equal to
or greater than $90,000,000, Acadia will issue to the holders of
Acadia common stock immediately prior to the effective time one
or more promissory notes (each a Deficit Note) with
an aggregate principal face amount equal to the positive
difference of (i) $90,000,000 minus (ii) the net
proceeds; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of
Deficit Notes shall not exceed $10,000,000.
Termination
of Acadia Professional Services Agreement
Acadia intends to terminate the Waud Capital Partners
professional services agreement pursuant to the terms of a
termination agreement in connection with consummation of the
merger. Acadia will pay a termination fee to Waud Capital
Partners, as more fully described in Acadia Interested
Transactions Professional Services Agreement,
in connection with such termination.
Fractional
Shares
No fractional shares of Acadia common stock will be issued in
the merger. Instead, as soon as practicable following the
completion of the merger, Acadia will determine the excess of
(i) the number of full shares of Acadia common stock to be
issued by Acadia pursuant to merger agreement over (ii) the
aggregate number of full shares of Acadia to be delivered
pursuant to merger agreement. Acadia will sell such excess at
then prevailing prices on the exchange or electronic market on
which such Acadia shares are traded. Until the net proceeds of
such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of PHC
common stock (in lieu of fractional shares), Acadia will hold
such proceeds in trust.
Surrender
of PHC Certificates
Following the effective time of the merger, Acadia or the
exchange agent, selected by Acadia, will mail to each holder of
PHC common stock a letter of transmittal and instructions
regarding the details of the exchange. The holders will use the
letter of transmittal to exchange PHC stock certificates for the
shares of Acadia common stock, cash representing the amount of
the cash consideration to be paid to the holders of PHC
Class B Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares
of Acadia common stock to which the holders of PHC common stock
are entitled to receive in connection with the merger.
81
United
States Tax Consequences
It is intended by both Acadia and PHC that the merger will
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368 of the Code.
Dissenters
Rights
Holders of shares of PHC Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock that are issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger who have
not voted in favor of or consented in writing to the merger and
who have properly demanded and perfected their rights to be paid
the fair value of such shares in accordance with
Section 13.02 of the MBCA, will not have such shares
converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive merger
consideration and will be entitled only to receive payment of
the fair value of such shares, in accordance with
Section 13.02 of the MBCA, unless and until such
stockholder withdraws or effectively loses the right to dissent.

|

|
PHC further agrees that it and its subsidiaries and its

themselves, and will promptly request each person who has
entered into a confidentiality agreement in connection with
their consideration of an acquisition proposal to return all
confidential information furnished by PHC.
Notification
of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals
Promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) after any of
PHCs officers, directors or representatives receives or
becomes aware of the receipt of any acquisition proposal by PHC,
or any request for nonpublic information or any discussions or
negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with PHC,
PHC will provide Acadia with written notice of the identity of
the person or group making such proposal and the material terms
of the acquisition proposal.
Acquisition Proposal means any inquiry,
proposal or offer relating to (i) the acquisition of
fifteen percent (15%) or more of the PHC common stock (by vote
or by value) by any third party, (ii) any merger,
consolidation, business combination, reorganization, share
exchange, sale of assets, recapitalization, equity investment,
joint venture, liquidation, dissolution or other transaction
which would result in any third party acquiring assets
(including capital stock of or interest in any subsidiary or
affiliate of PHC) representing, directly or indirectly, fifteen
percent (15%) or more of the net revenues, net income or assets
of PHC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) the
acquisition (whether by merger, consolidation, equity
investment, share exchange, joint venture or otherwise) by any
third party, directly or indirectly, of any capital stock in any
entity that holds assets representing, directly or indirectly,
fifteen percent (15%) or more of the net revenues, net income or
assets of PHC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
(iv) any tender offer or exchange offer, as such terms are
defined under the Exchange Act, that, if consummated, would
result in any third party beneficially owning fifteen percent
(15%) or more of the outstanding shares of PHC common stock and
any other voting securities of PHC, or (v) any combination
of the foregoing.
Superior
Proposals
In the event that PHC receives an acquisition proposal and its
board determines in good faith, (i) after consultation with
outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be
inconsistent with the directors fiduciary duties under
applicable laws, and (ii) based on the information then
available and after consultation with its independent financial
advisor and outside legal counsel, that such acquisition
proposal either constitutes a superior proposal or is reasonably
likely to result in a superior proposal, PHC may:
|
|
|
|
|
provide information in response to an unsolicited bona fide
written acquisition proposal after the date of the merger
agreement if and only if, prior to providing such information,
PHC has received from the third party requesting such
information an executed confidentiality agreement; and
|
|
|
|
engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with
any third party who has made an unsolicited bona fide written
acquisition proposal.
|
Superior Proposal means a bona fide written
acquisition proposal (with all of the percentages included in
the definition of acquisition proposal increased to
662/3%)
and not solicited in violation of the merger agreement which the
PHC board of directors determines in good faith, after
consultation with independent financial advisor and outside
legal counsel, and taking into consideration, among other
things, all of the terms, conditions, impact and all legal,
financial, regulatory and other aspects of such acquisition
proposal and merger agreement, including financing, regulatory
approvals, stockholder litigation, identity of the third party
making the acquisition proposal, breakup fee and expense
reimbursement provisions and other events or circumstances
beyond the control of the party invoking the condition,
(a) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance
with its terms and (b) would
86
result in a transaction more favorable to the stockholders of
PHC from a financial point of view than the transactions
provided for in the merger agreement (after taking into account
the expected timing and risk and likelihood of consummation).
Change
of Recommendation
At any time prior to obtaining PHC stockholder approval of the
merger agreement, if PHC has received a bona fide written
acquisition proposal that is not withdrawn and that the PHC
board of directors concludes in good faith constitutes a
superior proposal, the PHC board may withdraw, amend or modify
the PHC board recommendation if and only if:
|
|
|
|
|
the PHC board of directors determines in good faith, after
consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside
legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with
its fiduciary obligations under applicable laws;
|
|
|
|
PHC has complied with its obligations with respect to
solicitations;
|
|
|
|
PHC has provided prior written notice to Acadia at least five
business days in advance, which states that PHC received a bona
fide written acquisition proposal that was not withdrawn and
that the PHC board of directors concludes in good faith
constitutes a superior proposal and, absent any revision to the
terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the PHC board of
directors has resolved to adversely change its recommendation
for the merger; and
|
|
|
|
prior to changing the PHC board recommendation for approval of
the merger, PHC will, and will cause its representatives to,
(i) negotiate with Acadia and its financial and legal
advisors in good faith (to the extent Acadia desires to
negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions
of the agreement, so that such acquisition proposal would cease
to constitute a superior proposal, and (ii) permit Acadia
and its financial and legal advisors to make a presentation to
the PHC board of directors regarding the agreement and any
adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Acadia desires
to make such presentation).

Directors
and Officers Indemnification and Insurance
From and after the effective time of the merger, Acadia and the
surviving company will, jointly and severally, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold
harmless the present and former officers, directors and limited
liability company managers of PHC and its subsidiaries against
all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees),
judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
settlement amounts paid in connection with any action (whether
arising before or after the effective time), whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or
pertaining to any action or omission in their capacity as an
officer, director, limited liability company manager, employee,
fiduciary or agent, whether occurring at or before the effective
time.
If PHC is unable to do so, Acadia shall obtain and fully pay the
premium for the extension of the directors and
officers liability coverage of PHCs existing
directors and officers insurance policies, for a
claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from
and after the effective time of the merger with respect to any
claim related to any period or time at or prior to the effective
time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit
rating as PHCs existing insurance carrier with respect to
directors and officers liability insurance and
fiduciary liability insurance with terms, conditions, retentions
and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as the
coverage provided under PHCs existing policy with respect
to any matter claimed against a director or officer of PHC or
any of its subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such
capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the effective
time of the merger.
Employee
Matters
PHC and Acadia have agreed to cooperate to conduct a review of
their respective employee benefit and compensation plans and
programs in order to (i) coordinate the provision of
benefits and compensation to the employees of PHC and Acadia and
their respective subsidiaries after the effective time,
(ii) eliminate duplicative benefits and (iii) treat
similarly situated employees of PHC, Acadia and their respective
subsidiaries on a
87
substantially similar basis in all material respects, taking
into account all relevant factors, including duties, geographic
location, tenure, qualifications and abilities. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, PHC, Acadia or any of their respective
subsidiaries shall not be required to continue the employment of
any specific person. Furthermore, no provision of the merger
agreement shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting the
ability of PHC, Acadia or any of their respective subsidiaries
to amend, modify or terminate any plans programs, policies,
arrangements, agreements or understandings of PHC or Acadia or
any of their respective subsidiaries.
Further
Action
Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement,
each party will use reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain

licenses, permits and waivers of all governmental authorities
and officials that may be or become necessary for its execution
and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant
to, the merger agreement, (ii) cooperate fully with the
other parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such
authorizations, consents, orders, approvals, licenses, permits
and waivers, (iii) provide such other information to any
governmental authority as such governmental authority may
reasonably request in connection therewith, (iv) obtain all
necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties
under such partys respective contracts, and (v) from
and after the effective time, execute and deliver any additional
instruments necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement and to fully carry out the
purposes of the merger agreement. Each party promptly will
notify each other party thereto of any material communication it
or any of its affiliates receives from any governmental
authority relating to the matters that are the subject of the
merger agreement.
Update
Disclosure; Breaches
From and after the date of the merger agreement until the
effective time, each party will promptly notify the other party
thereto by written update to its disclosure schedule of
(i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that,
individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected
to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect
the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement not to be
satisfied, (ii) any action commenced or, to any
partys knowledge, threatened against, such party or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates or otherwise relating to,
involving or affecting such party or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, in each case in connection with, arising from or
otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement or (iii) the failure of such party to
comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to
be complied with by it pursuant to the merger agreement which,
individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be likely to
result in any condition to the obligations of any party to
effect the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement not
to be satisfied. PHC delivered to Acadia and Merger Sub a
supplement to the disclosure schedule after the closing of the
MeadowWood acquisition containing any additions, revisions or
modifications to such disclosure schedule that are required as a
result of PHCs acquisition of the MeadowWood assets.
Stock
Exchange Listing
Each of Acadia and PHC will cooperate with the other and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Acadia common
stock to be issued in connection with the merger to be listed on
NASDAQ and if not possible, NYSE Amex Stock Market, another
securities exchange, subject to official notice of issuance,
prior to the effective time.
Section 16
Matters
Prior to the effective time, PHC and Acadia will take all steps
necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement, including any acquisition of Acadia Common Stock in
connection therewith, by each individual who is or will be
subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act with respect to Acadia, to be exempt under
Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act.
88
Takeover
Statutes
If any control share acquisition, fair
price, moratorium or other anti-takeover law
becomes or is deemed to be applicable to Acadia, PHC, Merger
Sub, the merger or any other transaction contemplated by the
merger agreement, then each of Acadia, PHC, Merger Sub, and
their respective boards of directors or managers will grant all
such approvals and take all such actions as are necessary so
that the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement may
be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms
contemplated thereby and otherwise act to render such
anti-takeover law inapplicable to the merger agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby.
Deregistration
PHC will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its shares of
PHC Class A Common Stock to no longer be quoted on AMEX and
to be de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as
practicable following the effective time.
Tax Free
Reorganization Treatment
Neither Acadia nor PHC will, nor will they permit any of their
respective subsidiaries to, take any action prior to or after
the closing that would reasonably be expected to cause the
merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization with the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code.
Public
Announcements
Each of Acadia and PHC will consult with each other before
issuing any press release or otherwise making any public
statements (including conference calls with investors and
analysts) with respect to the merger agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby. No party to the merger
agreement will issue any such press release or make any such
public statement with respect to the merger agreement or any of
the transactions contemplated thereby prior to such
consultation, except to the extent public disclosure is required
by applicable law or the requirements of the NYSE Amex Stock
Market or NASDAQ, as applicable, in which case the issuing party
will use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other
party before issuing any such press release or making any such
public statements.
Transfer
Taxes
Acadia and PHC will cooperate in the preparation, execution and
filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other
documents regarding any sales, transfer, stamp, stock transfer,
value added, use, real property transfer or gains and any
similar taxes that become payable in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. From and
after the effective time, the surviving company agrees to assume
liability for and pay any such taxes of PHC, Acadia or any of
their respective subsidiaries.
Other
Actions
From the date of the merger agreement until the earlier to occur
of the effective time or the termination of the merger agreement
in accordance with its terms, Acadia and PHC will not, and will
not permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, take, or
agree or commit to take, any action that would reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent,
materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
Financing
Each of PHC and Acadia will cooperate with the other and use its
reasonable best efforts to arrange the debt financing on the
terms and conditions to those described in the Debt Commitment
Letter, together with the related fee letter and that certain
engagement letter dated as of the same date by and among Acadia
and Jefferies. Each of PHC and Acadia will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate definitive agreements
with respect thereto and (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all
conditions in such definitive agreements that are within its
control.
89
PHC Stock
Purchase Plans
Except with respect to PHCs 2005 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, which shall be terminated at the conclusion of the current
participation period on August 31, 2011, PHC will take all
actions necessary (i) to suspend any and all offering or
grants during the offering periods currently in effect under the
PHC stock purchase plans effective as of the date of the merger
agreement (such that no shares of PHC capital stock can be
issued pursuant thereto) and (ii) to terminate the PHC
stock purchase plans prior to the effective time.
Peabody
Office
Acadia will keep PHCs Peabody, Massachusetts office open
for as long as reasonably required to effect necessary
transition matters, which Acadia and PHC anticipate will take
from three to six months following the effective time.
Company
Name
For a period of two years following the effective time of the
merger, Acadia will file a dba in Delaware and such
other jurisdictions as it deems necessary to enable it to
conduct business as Pioneer Behavioral Health, and
Acadia will conduct business under such dba, including by using
corporate stationary bearing such name and by answering the
telephone in the corporate offices under such name. Acadia
anticipates that each of PHCs subsidiaries will retain
their current names from and after the effective time.

93
Expense
Reimbursement
In the event the merger agreement is terminated by PHC due to
the fact that Acadia or Merger Sub has breached any of its
covenants, agreements, representations or warranties such that a
condition related to PHCs obligation to close would not be
satisfied, then Acadia will pay all of PHCs reasonably
documented
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
actually incurred by PHC and its affiliates on or prior to the
termination of merger agreement in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which amount
will in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate, and shall
be paid in four annual installments, with the first annual
installment due within two business days of such termination,
and the remaining payments being made on the first, second and
third anniversary of such termination date.
In the event the merger agreement is terminated by Acadia under
circumstances in which the termination fee is not then payable,
due to the fact that (i) PHC has breached any of its
covenants, agreements, representations or warranties such that a
condition related to Acadias obligation to close would not
be satisfied or (ii) the supplement to the disclosure
schedules delivered to Acadia in connection with PHCs
recent acquisition of MeadowWood would cause a breach of a PHC
representation or warranty such that a condition related to
Acadias obligation to close would not be satisfied, then
PHC will pay all of Acadias reasonably documented
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
actually incurred by Acadia and its affiliates on or prior to
the termination of the merger agreement in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which amount
will in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and shall be
paid in four annual installments, with the first annual
installment due within two business days of such termination,
and the remaining payments being made on the first, second and
third anniversary of such termination date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the existence of circumstances which could require
payment of the termination fee by PHC subsequent to termination
of the merger agreement will not relieve PHC of its obligations
to pay Acadia reimbursable expenses.
Termination
Fee
In the event the merger agreement is terminated by PHC or Acadia
because, prior to the obtaining of the PHC stockholder approval,
the PHC board of directors or any committee thereof has
adversely changed its recommendation to approve the merger, PHC
will promptly pay Acadia an amount equal to $3,000,000, but in
any event within two business days after the date of such
termination, by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more
accounts designated by Acadia.
In the event that (i) the merger agreement is terminated
(A) by either Acadia or PHC because the merger has not been
consummated by the End Date or PHC has not obtained stockholder
approval in accordance with the merger agreement or (B) by
Acadia because PHC would be unable to satisfy its closing
conditions regarding covenants and agreements or representations
and warranties as of the closing date and (ii) after the
date of the merger agreement and prior to the twelve month
anniversary of the termination of the merger agreement, PHC
consummates an acquisition proposal, enters into any letter of
intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other
similar agreement related to an acquisition proposal, or PHC
files a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on
Schedule 14D-9
that includes the PHC boards recommendation of any
acquisition proposal to PHCs stockholders, then PHC will,
on the date an acquisition proposal is consummated, any such
letter is executed or agreement is entered into or any such
statement is filed with the SEC, pay to Acadia an amount equal
to $3,000,000 (less the amount of any reimbursable expenses
previously paid by PHC to Acadia pursuant to the merger
agreement, if any) to Acadia by wire transfer of same day funds
to one or more accounts designated by Acadia.
For purposes of the termination section of the merger agreement
only, a transaction pursuant to an acquisition proposal (as
defined above and in the merger agreement) all percentages in
the definition of acquisition proposal will be replaced with 50%.
Fees and
Expenses
Each of PHC and Acadia will not (and will cause each of their
respective subsidiaries not to), incur or agree to pay any
reasonably documented
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal and advisory fees
and expenses) in connection with the merger or any of the
transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, other than
certain shared fees and expenses, in excess of certain estimated
fees and expenses set forth in the merger
94
agreement. This prohibition does not apply to fees and expenses
related to the following activities: (i) the filing,
Edgarizing, printing, mailing and similar out of pocket fees and
expenses (but not legal or accounting fees and expenses)
relating to this proxy statement/prospectus and any other
necessary filings with respect to the merger or any related
transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
applicable state blue sky laws and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) the listing
fee(s) incurred in obtaining (or attempting to obtain) the stock
exchange listing(s) or trading eligibility for Acadia.
Regardless of whether the merger is completed, Acadia and PHC
will pay 75% and 25% respectively of such fees. The prohibition
also does not apply to the incurrence by Acadia or any of its
affiliates of any costs or expenses under or pursuant to the
debt commitment letter or otherwise in connection with obtaining
the financing under such commitment letter.
Amendment,
Extension and Waiver
The merger agreement may be amended, at any time, by the
parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective
boards of directors, before or after approval of the merger
agreement by the stockholders of PHC, provided that after any
such approval, no amendment can be made that requires further
stockholder approval without such approval having been obtained.
The merger agreement may not be amended except by execution of
an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Acadia and
PHC.
Subject to the foregoing, at any time prior to the effective
time, the parties may, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
|
|
|
|
|
extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or
other acts of the other parties;
|
|
|
|
waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
contained in the merger agreement or in any document delivered
pursuant thereto; or
|
|
|
|
waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions
contained in the merger agreement.
|
After any approval of the merger agreement by the PHC
stockholders, there may not be any extension or waiver of the
merger agreement which decreases the merger consideration
provided therein or which adversely affects the rights of the
PHC stockholders thereunder without the approval of such
stockholders. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such
extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a written
instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any
party to assert any of its rights under the merger agreement or
otherwise will not constitute a waiver of those rights.
Material
Adverse Effect
For purposes of the merger agreement, the term material adverse
effect, when used in connection with PHC or Acadia, means any
event, change, condition or effect that, individually or in the
aggregate, is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse
to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets,
liabilities, business, operations or results of operations of
such entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than
any event, change, condition or effect relating to:
|
|
|
|
|
the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement or the announcement thereof;
|
|
|
|
compliance with the terms of the merger agreement or the taking
of any action consented to or requested by PHC or, in the case
of Acadia, Merger Sub;
|
|
|
|
any change in accounting requirements or principles required by
GAAP, or any interpretations thereof;
|
|
|
|
the United States economy in general; or
|
|
|
|
the behavioral healthcare industry in general.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a material adverse effect will
include any change in or effect on the business of either Acadia
or PHC and their respective subsidiaries that, individually or
in the aggregate, is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially
adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties,
assets, liabilities, business, operations or results of
operations of such party and its subsidiaries taken as a whole,
if such change or effect is
95
significantly more adverse to such party and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, than to the behavioral healthcare industry in
general.
THE
VOTING AGREEMENT
In connection with the merger, each of PHCs directors and
executive officers entered into a voting agreement with Acadia
pursuant to which these individuals agreed to vote their shares
of PHC common stock in favor of the merger agreement, among

(ii) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to

(iv) against any other proposal that is intended to, or is
reasonably likely to, result in the conditions of Acadias
or Merger Subs obligations under the merger agreement not
being fulfilled, (v) against any amendment of PHCs
certificate of incorporation or by-laws that is not requested or
expressly approved by Acadia and (vi) against any
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of PHC. The directors and
executive officers also agree that until the earlier of the
termination of the merger agreement or completion of the merger,
they will not enter into any agreement or understanding with
another person to vote or give instructions inconsistent with
the foregoing obligations.
In furtherance of the foregoing obligations and in the event of
a failure by a director or officer who is party to the voting
agreement of his or her obligations as to voting or executing a
written consent pursuant to the voting agreement, such director
or officer revokes any and all other proxies or powers of
attorney in respect of any of the shares of PHC common stock
governed by the voting agreement and agrees that during the
period commencing on the date of the voting agreement until its
expiration, each director and executive officer appointed
Acadia, Merger Sub or any individual designated by Acadia or
Merger Sub as such individuals agent, attorney-in-fact and
proxy (with full power of substitution) to vote all shares owned
by such director or executive officer in accordance with the
voting agreement. Such proxy will be valid and irrevocable until
termination of the voting agreement.

PHC common stock on all other matters not referred to by the
voting agreement, and Acadia may not exercise its proxy with
respect to such other matters.
The directors and executive officers agreed not to, and not to
permit any entity under such directors or executive
officers control to, (i) solicit proxies or become a
participant in a solicitation (as such
terms are defined in
Rule 14a-1
under the Exchange Act) with respect to an acquisition proposal,
(ii) initiate a stockholders vote with respect to an
acquisition proposal, (iii) become a member of a
group (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of PHC
with respect to an acquisition proposal or (iv) solicit,
entertain, promote, negotiate, knowingly aid, accept, enter or
agree into or discuss, directly or indirectly, any proposal,
arrangement, agreement or offer regarding an acquisition
proposal.
Prior to the expiration of the voting agreement, each director
and executive officer who signed the voting agreement shall not:
(a) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, pledge or otherwise
dispose of, or consent to any of the foregoing, any or all of
the shares governed thereunder or any right or interest of such
shares; (b) enter into any contract, option or other
agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any
action enumerated in (a) of

this paragraph; (c) grant any proxy,
power-of-attorney
or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the
shares governed thereunder (other than the proxy contemplated in
the voting agreement); or (d) deposit any of the shares
governed thereunder into a voting trust, or enter into a voting
agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the shares
governed thereunder; provided, however, that a stockholder (and
any permitted transferee thereof) may take an action enumerated
in (a) of this paragraph with respect to any or all of the
shares governed thereunder to such stockholders spouse,
descendants (whether natural or adopted) or any trust or other
entity controlled by such stockholder; provided that such
permitted transferee provides Acadia and Merger Sub with a
written agreement to be bound by the terms of the voting
agreement and to hold such shares governed thereunder subject to
all terms of the voting agreement, in each case, as if it were
the stockholder.
The voting agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of
the completion of the merger or the termination of the merger
agreement in accordance with its terms.

Controlled
Company
We intend to list the shares issued in the merger on NASDAQ. For
purposes of the Nasdaq rules, we expect to be a controlled
company. Controlled companies under those
rules are companies of which more than 50 percent of the
voting power is held by an individual, a group or another
company. Waud Capital Partners will continue to control more
than 50% of the voting power of our common stock upon completion
of the merger and be able to elect a majority of our board of
directors. As a result, we will be considered a controlled
company for the purposes of the NASDAQ listing
requirements. As a controlled company, we will be
permitted to, and we intend to, opt out of the NASDAQ listing
requirements that would otherwise require a majority of the
members of our board of directors to be independent and require
that we either establish a compensation committee and a
nominating and governance committee, each comprised entirely of
independent directors, or otherwise ensure that the compensation
of our executive officers and nominees for directors are
determined or recommended to our board by the independent
members of our board.
Acadia
Board of Directors Composition
Upon the closing of the merger, the Acadia board of directors
will be divided into three classes, with each director serving a
three-year term and one class being elected at each years
annual meeting of stockholders. Following the merger, subject to
any phase in rules of the SEC and NASDAQ, three (3) of the
members of Acadia board of directors will be
independent of Acadia and its management. Three
(3) directors to be designated by Waud Capital Partners and
a director to be designated by Bruce Shear, the President of
PHC, will be in the class of directors whose initial terms
expires at the 2012 annual meeting of the stockholders; provided
that Mr. Shears designee shall satisfy the applicable
director independence requirements of NASDAQ or any other
securities exchange on which Acadias securities may be
listed (collectively, the Director Independence
Requirements). Mr. Bruce Shear and three
(3) directors to be designated by Waud Capital Partners
will be in the class of directors whose initial term expires at
the 2013 annual meeting of the stockholders. Mr. Joey A.
Jacobs, one director to be designated by Waud Capital Partners
and two directors designated by the other directors (the
Other Independent Directors) shall be in the class
of directors whose initial term expires at the 2014 annual
meeting for stockholders; provided, that the Other Independent
Directors shall satisfy the Director Independence Requirements.
100
Committees
of the Acadia Board of Directors
Upon completion of the merger, the Acadia board of directors
will establish three standing committees: the audit committee,
the compensation committee and the corporate governance and
nominating committee.
Audit Committee. Acadias audit committee
will be responsible for preparing such reports, statements or
charters as may be required by NASDAQ or federal securities
laws, as well as, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
overseeing and monitoring the integrity of its financial
statements, its compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements as they relate to financial statements or
accounting matters and its internal accounting and financial
controls;
|

annual proxy statement;

providing the board with the results of its monitoring and
recommendations; and
|
|
|
|
providing to the board additional information and materials as
it deems necessary to make the board aware of significant
financial matters that require the attention of the board.
|
It is anticipated that the board of directors will nominate
three directors to serve as members of Acadias audit
committee. It is also anticipated that one of the independent
directors nominated by the Acadia board of directors will serve
as Chairman of Acadias audit committee and also will
qualify as an audit committee financial expert, as
that term is defined under the SEC rules implementing
Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Acadia board of
directors has determined that each of these persons meets the
current independence and financial literacy requirements under
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, NASDAQ and SEC rules and regulations.
Compensation Committee. It is anticipated that
the Acadia board of directors will nominate three directors to
serve as members of Acadias compensation committee. For so
long as affiliates of Waud Capital Partners have the right to
designate a majority of the Acadia board of directors, the
directors designated by affiliates of Waud Capital Partners are
expected to constitute a majority of the compensation committee
and the chairman of the compensation committee is expected to be
a director who is selected by affiliates of Waud Capital
Partners.
The compensation committee will be responsible for, among other
things:
|
|
|
|
|
reviewing and approving for the chief executive officer and
other executive officers (a) the annual base salary,
(b) the annual incentive bonus, including the specific
goals and amount, (c) equity compensation,
(d) employment agreements, severance arrangements and
change in control arrangements, and (e) any other benefits,
compensations, compensation policies or arrangements;

|
|
|
reviewing and making recommendations to the board regarding the
compensation policy for such other officers as directed by the
board;
|
|
|
|

to the chief executive officer for the last completed fiscal
year is based; (b) the relationship of such compensation to
our performance; and (c) the committees executive
compensation policies applicable to executive officers; and
|
|
|
|
acting as administrator of Acadias current benefit plans
and making recommendations to the Acadia board of directors with
respect to amendments to the plans, changes in the number of
shares reserved for issuance thereunder and regarding other
benefit plans proposed for adoption.
|
Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee. It is anticipated that the Acadia
board of directors will nominate three directors to serve as
members of Acadias corporate governance and nominating
committee. For so long as affiliates of Waud Capital Partners
have the right to designate a majority of the Acadia board of
directors, the directors designated by affiliates of Waud
Capital Partners are expected to constitute a majority of the
corporate governance and nominating committee and the chairman
of such committee is expected to be a director who is
101
selected by affiliates of Waud Capital Partners. The corporate
governance and nominating committee will be responsible for,
among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
reviewing board structure, composition and practices, and making
recommendations on these matters to the board;
|
|
|
|
reviewing, soliciting and making recommendations to the board
and stockholders with respect to candidates for election to the
board; and
|
|
|
|
overseeing compliance by the chief executive officer and senior
financial officers with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis
(CD&A) describes the compensation arrangements
Acadia has with its Named Executive Officers (NEOs)
that are expected to serve as executive officers following the
merger and Bruce Shear, PHCs current chief executive
officer, who is expected to serve as an executive officer and
director of Acadia following the merger. NEOs include our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer,
regardless of compensation level, and our three most highly
compensated executive officers during our last completed fiscal
year, other than our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer. Because Mr. Carter is the only executive
officer that was employed by Acadia during 2010 that is expected
to be an executive officer following the merger, he is the only
executive officer of Acadia for whom information is provided in
this CD&A. As further described below under
Intended Objectives of Acadias Executive
Compensation Program; Elements of Compensation Base
Salary, the other executive officers of Acadia joined
Acadia in February 2011. No PHC executive officers other than
Mr. Shear are expected to become executive officers or
directors of Acadia following the merger.
Intended
Objectives of Acadias Executive Compensation Program;
Elements of Compensation
The Acadia board of directors oversees the design and
administration of Acadias executive compensation program.
Acadias objective is to have an executive compensation
program that will attract and retain the best possible executive
talent, to tie annual and long-term cash compensation to the
achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance
goals and objectives and to align executives incentives
with stockholder value creation.
Compensation for Acadias NEOs has historically consisted
of the following elements:
Base
Salary
Mr. Carter joined Acadia in April 2007. His base salary was
negotiated with him at that time based upon his experience level
and anticipated duties and responsibilities. His base salary has
been subject to annual increase at the discretion of the Acadia
board of directors. The remaining members of Acadias
senior management, including Messrs. Jacobs, Fincher,
Turner, Howard and Polson, were hired in February of 2011. These
officers were formerly employed by PSI. PSI, a publicly-traded
company, was sold to UHS in November of 2010. Following the sale
of PSI to UHS, Acadia hired the former PSI management team and
Acadia Management Company, Inc. (Acadia Management)
entered into employment agreements with these former PSI
executive officers, effective on January 31, 2011. Acadia
Management also entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Carter in March 2011, which sets forth his annual base
salary. The base salary is subject to increase by the Acadia
board of directors, in its sole discretion, on an annual basis.
These base salaries were the result of negotiation between Waud
Capital Partners and these members of management.
In anticipation of consummation of the merger, Acadia has also
entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Shear,
PHCs current Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Shears
employment agreement sets forth his expected duties and
responsibilities, his compensation and benefits and certain
restrictions to which he will be subject after consummation of
the merger.
102
See Acadia Employment Agreements for a description
of the employment agreements with Messrs. Jacobs, Shear,
Turner, Carter, Fincher, Polson and Howard (collectively, the
Acadia Employment Agreements).
Cash
Bonuses
For fiscal year 2010, Acadia paid a cash bonus to
Mr. Carter based on the satisfaction of certain company and
individual performance criteria. Mr. Carter was eligible to
receive a bonus of up to 8% of his total annual base salary
based upon the achievement of individual performance goals,
including items related to Acadias financial performance,
patient and employee satisfaction survey results and the
performance of Acadia facilities in annual evaluations (the
Individual Portion). He was also eligible to receive
a bonus between 32% and 62% of his total annual base salary tied
to the companys EBITDA performance, as compared to base
and stretch EBITDA targets (the EBITDA Portion).
Mr. Carter was not eligible to receive any portion of his
targeted bonus for fiscal year 2010 unless Acadia met or
exceeded its base EBITDA for the same period. EBITDA
for purposes of calculating the EBITDA Portion of
Mr. Carters annual bonus, is defined as earnings
before interest, income taxes, interest, depreciation and
amortization, as may be adjusted in the discretion of the Acadia
board of directors for certain one-time or non-recurring items.
For fiscal year 2010, base target EBITDA was set at $7,045,000
and stretch target EBITDA was set at $9,000,000. Acadia
Holdings actual adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2010
(which excludes transaction related expenses and non-budgeted
director fees) was $9,677,000, resulting in the bonus for the
EBITDA Portion being set at 62.0% of base salary for
Mr. Carter, resulting in bonuses of $196,614 attributable
to the EBITDA Portion paid to Mr. Carter for fiscal year
2010. Mr. Carter achieved all of his 2010 individual
performance goals, resulting in the bonus for the Individual
Portion being set at 8% of his base salary and a bonus of
$25,370 attributable to the Individual Portion paid to
Mr. Carter for fiscal year 2010.
Mr. Carters Acadia Employment Agreement provides that
during each calendar year in the related employment period
beginning on December 31, 2011, he will be eligible to earn
a target annual bonus of up to 100% of his base salary, subject
to satisfaction of specified performance criteria established by
the Acadia board of directors or its compensation committee.
Following the merger, Mr. Shear will be eligible to earn a
target annual bonus of up to 60% of his base salary, subject to
satisfaction of certain performance criteria.
Mr. Carter also entered into a bonus agreement with Acadia
Management on January 4, 2010. This bonus agreements, as
more fully described in Acadia Interested
Transactions Affiliate Transactions, provide
for the payment of a one-time incentive cash bonus of $40,000 to
Mr. Carter if no Change of Control (as defined
in the Prior LLC Agreement) has occurred prior to the date on
which the incentive bonus is paid, Acadia achieves specified
EBITDA targets and the executive has been continuously employed
by Acadia Management from January 4, 2010 to the date such
incentive bonus is paid.
Historical
Equity Arrangements
Acadia Holdings sold shares of its Class A Common Units and
Class A Preferred Units to certain executives, including
Mr. Carter, in January 2010. Acadia Holdings also issued
Class B Common Units and Class B Preferred Units to Mr. Carter
and certain other executives that only vest upon certain
qualified changes in control. Acadia Holdings reclassified all
of its units into Class A Units and Class B Units in
April 2011 in connection with a reclassification of its equity
structure. Acadia Holdings also issued Class C Units and
Class D Units to certain executives, including
Mr. Carter, in connection with the reclassification. In
connection with the merger, Acadia Holdings, the sole
stockholder of Acadia, will distribute the shares of Acadia
common stock that it owns to its members, including
Mr. Carter, in accordance with their respective ownership
interests in Acadia Holdings.
Mr. Carter, along with Messrs. Fincher, Howard,
Jacobs, Polson and Turner, will enter into a stockholders
agreement with Waud Capital Partners and Acadia in connection
with the merger. The stockholders agreement will contain certain
transfer restrictions with respect to the Acadia common stock
received from Acadia Holdings in connection with the
distribution from Acadia Holdings. See Stockholders
Agreement for a description of the terms of these
restrictions.
103
Long-Term
Equity Incentives Following the Merger
As a private company, Acadia has not historically made annual
grants of equity. Waud Capital Partners and the Acadia board of
directors believed that managements ownership interests in
Acadia provided sufficient incentives with respect to the
long-term growth of Acadia and aligned managements
interests with those of Acadias stockholders. Prior to the
consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that the Acadia
board of directors will adopt the 2011 Incentive Plan (as
defined below), which will permit the granting of several types
of equity-based compensation awards designed to provide our
executive officers with incentives to help align those
individuals interests with the interests of our
stockholders. We also anticipate granting the Acadia board of
directors (or its compensation committee) the authority to make
periodic grants under the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. 2011
Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2011 Incentive
Plan) to our executive officers based on the achievement
of certain corporate and individual performance criteria, or
otherwise in accordance with the 2011 Acadia Incentive Plan. See
2011 Incentive Plan.
Acadia
Employment Agreements
Mr. Carter did not have an employment agreement in fiscal
2010. In 2011, Acadia Management entered into Acadia Employment
Agreements with each of Messrs. Jacobs, Fincher, Turner,
Howard, Polson and Carter. In anticipation of the merger, Acadia
entered into the Acadia Employment Agreements with
Messrs. Shear and Boswell. In connection with the merger,
the Acadia board of directors has retained a compensation
consultant as it transitions to a compensation program more
consistent with that of a public company.
Pursuant to the terms of his Acadia Employment Agreement,
Mr. Carter currently receives annual base salary of
$317,474. Each of Messrs. Jacobs, Fincher, Turner, Howard
and Polson currently receives an annual base salary of $240,000.
The term of the Acadia Employment Agreements for each of
Messrs. Shear and Boswell will commence immediately
following the closing of the merger. Mr. Shears
Acadia Employment Agreement has a five year term, which shall
automatically be extended for successive one-year terms, subject
to non-renewal if either party gives the other
90 days prior written notice of termination. The
Acadia Employment Agreement for Mr. Boswell is subject to a
two-year term, subject to automatic one year extensions unless
earlier terminated. The annual base salaries for each of
Messrs. Shear and Boswell are $350,000 and $226,000,
respectively.
The base salaries under the Acadia Employment Agreements for
Messrs. Jacobs, Fincher, Turner, Howard, Polson and Carter
are subject to an annual increase in the sole discretion of the
Acadia board of directors. The Acadia Employment Agreements for
Messrs. Shear and Boswell provide that the base salary for
the applicable executive shall be increased by at least 5% of
the base salary for the prior year as of the first day of each
calendar year in the term.
In addition to base salary, the senior executives under the
Acadia Employment Agreements are entitled to participate in
their sole discretion in all of Acadias employee benefit
programs for which senior executive officers are generally
eligible. These benefits (for the former PSI executive officers)
are in addition to any that the related executives may receive
from PSI. The benefits to be provided to the executives under
the Acadia Employment Agreements for Messrs. Shear and
Boswell must be on terms at least as favorable as those received
by such executives from PHC immediately prior to the closing of
the merger. Furthermore, during the term of such Acadia
Employment Agreements, Acadia shall pay 100% of the monthly
premiums or other costs associated with the related executives
participation in such employee benefit programs and benefits.
Mr. Shear is also permitted, under the terms of his Acadia
Employment Agreement, to use the automobile leased by Acadia for
him until the scheduled expiration of the lease and Acadia shall
continue to make all lease payments until the expiration of the
lease.
Executives (other than Messrs. Shear and Boswell) are
eligible to receive discretionary annual bonuses of up to 100%
of such executives base salary and reimbursement of
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with services
performed under each executives respective Acadia
Employment Agreement. Each of Messrs. Shear and Boswell are
eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 60% of his base
salary under his Acadia Employment Agreement. In each case,
achievement of the annual bonus is based upon the satisfaction
of performance criteria
104
established by the Acadia board of directors or compensation
committee or as set forth in the applicable Acadia Employment
Agreement.
Generally, if an executive officer party to an Acadia Employment
Agreement is terminated without cause or resigns with good
reason, such executive is entitled to receive (subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions): (i) such
executives base salary through the termination date;
(ii) any bonus amounts under such executives Acadia
Employment Agreement to which such executive is entitled
determined by reference to the calendar that ended on or prior
to the termination date; (iii) any unused and unpaid time
off and sick pay accrued through the termination date and any
incurred but unreimbursed business expenses as of the
termination date; (iv) a prorated bonus amount for the
calendar year in which the termination occurs; (v) certain
bonus amounts, prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the termination date; (vi) an
amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health
and dental insurance for the executive
and/or his
or her dependents in accordance with the Consolidated Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 for a specified period; (vii) a
specified severance payment; and (viii) solely with respect
to Mr. Shear, the continued use of his leased automobile
until the scheduled termination of the lease and the continued
payment by Acadia of all related lease payments (collectively,
the Termination Payments).
Cause (as defined in the Acadia Employment
Agreements) means the occurrence of one or more of the following
with respect to the applicable executive: (i) the
conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or other
crime involving moral turpitude or the conviction of any crime
involving misappropriation, embezzlement or fraud with respect
to Acadia or any of its subsidiaries or any of their customers,
suppliers or other business relations, (ii) conduct outside
the scope of such executives duties and responsibilities
under
his/her
Acadia Employment Agreement that causes Acadia or any of its
subsidiaries substantial public disgrace or disrepute or
economic harm, (iii) repeated failure to perform duties
consistent with this Agreement as reasonably directed by the
Acadia board of directors, (iv) any act or knowing omission
aiding or abetting a competitor, supplier or customer of Acadia
or any of its subsidiaries to the disadvantage or detriment of
Acadia and its subsidiaries, (v) breach of fiduciary duty,
gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to Acadia or
any of its subsidiaries, (vi) an administrative or other
proceeding results in the suspension or debarment of such
executive from participation in any contracts with, or programs
of, the United States or any of the fifty states or any agency
or department thereof, or (vii) any other material breach
by such executive of
his/her
Acadia Employment Agreement or any other agreement between such
executive and Acadia or any of its subsidiaries, which is not
cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Acadia board of
directors within thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof to such executive.
Good Reason (as defined in the Acadia
Employment Agreements for executives other than Mr. Shear)
means if the applicable executive resigns
his/her
employment with Acadia (a) as a result of one or more of
the following actions (in each case taken without
executives written consent): (i) a reduction in such
executives base salary (other than as part of an
across-the-board
reduction that (A) results in a 10% or less reduction of
such executives base salary as in effect on the date of
any such reduction or (B) is approved by the Chief
Executive Officer of Acadia), (ii) a material diminution of
such executives job duties or responsibilities
inconsistent with Executives position; (iii) any
other material breach by Acadia (or its successors) of such
Acadia Employment Agreement; or (iv) a relocation of
Acadias principal executive offices and corporate
headquarters outside of a thirty (30) mile radius of
Nashville, Tennessee following relocation thereto in accordance
with Section 1; provided that, none of the events described
in clauses (i) through (iv) shall constitute Good
Reason unless such executive shall have notified Acadia in
writing describing the event which constitutes Good Reason
within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event
and then only if Acadia and its subsidiaries shall have failed
to cure such event within thirty (30) days after
Acadias receipt of such written notice and such executive
elects to terminate his employment as a result at the end of
such thirty (30) day period, or (b) for any reason
within 180 days following a Sale of the LLC (as defined in
the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement). The merger does not
constitute a Sale of the LLC (as defined in the Acadia Holdings
LLC Agreement). For Mr. Shear, Good Reason (as
defined in his Acadia Employment Agreement) is defined as
(A) a reduction in his base salary (other than as part of
an
across-the-board
reduction that (1) results in a 10% or less reduction of
such executives base salary as in effect on the date of
any such reduction or (2) is approved by the Chief
Executive Officer of Acadia), (B) a material diminution of
his job duties or responsibilities inconsistent with his
position; (C) the failure by Acadia to nominate
Mr. Shear to serve on the Acadia board of directors; or
(D) any other material breach by Acadia (or its successors)
of Mr. Shears Acadia
105
Employment Agreement; provided that, none of the events
described in clauses (A) through (D) shall constitute
Good Reason unless such executive shall have notified Acadia in
writing describing the event which constitutes Good Reason
within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event
and then only if Acadia and its subsidiaries shall have failed
to cure such event within thirty (30) days after
Acadias receipt of such written notice and such executive
elects to terminate his employment as a result at the end of
such thirty (30) day period.
If an executive officer party to an Acadia Employment Agreement
dies or becomes disabled, such executive is entitled to the
applicable Termination Payments (other than the severance
payment contemplated under clause (vii) of the definition
thereof). In the event that a senior executive becomes disabled
not due to death, such executive shall be entitled to receive
continued installment payments of such executives base
salary as in effect on the termination date for a specified
period of time.
If Acadia terminates an executive under an Acadia Employment
Agreement for cause or if any such executive resigns without
good reason, such executive will only be entitled to receive his
or her unpaid base salary through the termination date and any
bonus amount to which such executive is entitled by reference to
the calendar year that ended on or prior to the termination date.
During the term of the Acadia Employment Agreement for each
executive officer (other than Mr. Shear) and for one year
thereafter (or 24 months thereafter in the case of
Mr. Jacobs), each such executive is prohibited from
(i) directly or indirectly managing, controlling,
consulting, rendering services for or participating, engaging or
owning an interest in any business which derives 25% of its
gross revenue from the business of providing behavioral
healthcare
and/or
related services and (ii) directly or indirectly managing,
controlling, rendering services for or participating or
consulting with any unit, division, segment or subsidiary of any
other business that engages in or otherwise competes with (or
was organized for the purpose of engaging in or competing with)
the business of providing behavioral healthcare
and/or
related services, subject to certain exceptions. Each such
executive is prohibited from directly or indirectly soliciting
or hiring any employee or independent contractor of Acadia or
directly or indirectly soliciting any customer, supplier,
licensee, licensor or other business relation of Acadia during
the employment period and for 12 months thereafter. The
non-compete provisions to which Mr. Shear will be subject
under his Acadia Employment Agreement shall terminate on the
lesser of (i) 24 months and (ii) the number of
months remaining until the expiration of his employment term
(but in no event less than 12 months), calculated from the
date of his termination of service. In addition, the executive
officers party to an Acadia Employment Agreement are (or will
be) subject to customary confidentiality and non-disparagement
obligations both during and following their employment with
Acadia.
2011
Incentive Plan
In connection with the merger, we expect to adopt a 2011
Incentive Plan, or the 2011 Incentive Plan. The 2011
Incentive Plan is expected to provide for grants of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, other
stock-based awards and other cash-based. Directors, officers and
other employees of us and our subsidiaries, as well as others
performing consulting or advisory services for us, will be
eligible for grants under the 2011 Incentive Plan. The purpose
of the 2011 Incentive Plan will be to provide incentives that
will attract, retain and motivate high performing officers,
directors, employees and consultants by providing them a
proprietary interest in our long-term success or compensation
based on their performance in fulfilling their responsibilities
to our company. The specific terms of the 2011 Incentive Plan
are still being finalized. Set forth below is a summary of the
material terms of the 2011 Incentive Plan based on our current
discussions. This summary is preliminary and may not include all
of the provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan. For further
information about the 2011 Incentive Plan, we refer you to the
complete copy of the 2011 Incentive Plan, which we will file as
an exhibit to the registration statement.
Administration. The 2011 Incentive Plan will
be administered by a committee designated by our board of
directors. Among the committees powers will be to
determine the form, amount and other terms and conditions of
awards; clarify, construe or resolve any ambiguity in any
provision of the 2011 Incentive Plan or any award agreement;
amend the terms of outstanding awards; and adopt such rules,
forms, instruments and guidelines for administering the 2011
Incentive Plan as it deems necessary or proper. The committee
will have full authority to administer and interpret the 2011
Incentive Plan, to grant discretionary awards under the 2011
Incentive Plan, to
106
determine the persons to whom awards will be granted, to
determine the types of awards to be granted, to determine the
terms and conditions of each award, to determine the number of
shares of common stock to be covered by each award, to make all
other determinations in connection with the 2011 Incentive Plan
and the awards thereunder as the committee deems necessary or
desirable and to delegate authority under the 2011 Incentive
Plan to our executive officers.
Available Shares. The aggregate number of
shares of common stock which may be issued or used for reference
purposes under the 2011 Incentive Plan or with respect to which
awards may be granted may not
exceed shares.
The number of shares available for issuance under the 2011
Incentive Plan may be subject to adjustment in the event of a
reorganization, stock split, merger or similar change in the
corporate structure or the number of outstanding shares of our
common stock. In the event of any of these occurrences, we may
make any adjustments we consider appropriate to, among other
things, the number and kind of shares, options or other property
available for issuance under the plan or covered by grants
previously made under the plan. The shares available for
issuance under the plan may be, in whole or in part, either
authorized and unissued shares of our common stock or shares of
common stock held in or acquired for our treasury. In general,
if awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan are for any reason
cancelled, or expire or terminate unexercised, the shares
covered by such awards may again be available for the grant of
awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan.
Eligibility for Participation. Members of our
board of directors, as well as employees of, and consultants to,
us or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates will be eligible to
receive awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan.
Award Agreement. Awards granted under the 2011
Incentive Plan will be evidenced by award agreements, which need
not be identical, that provide additional terms, conditions,
restrictions or limitations covering the grant of the award,
including, without limitation, additional terms providing for
the acceleration of exercisability or vesting of awards in the
event of a change of control or conditions regarding the
participants employment, as determined by the committee.
Stock Options. The committee may grant
nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options to
purchase shares of our common stock only to eligible employees.
The committee will determine the number of shares of our common
stock subject to each option, the term of each option, which may
not exceed ten years, or five years in the case of an incentive
stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, the
exercise price, the vesting schedule, if any, and the other
material terms of each option. No incentive stock option or
nonqualified stock option may have an exercise price less than
the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the time
of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to
a 10% or greater stockholder, 110% of such shares fair
market value. Options will be exercisable at such time or times
and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the
committee at grant and the exercisability of such options may be
accelerated by the committee.
Stock Appreciation Rights. The committee may
grant stock appreciation rights, or SARs, either
with a stock option, which may be exercised only at such times
and to the extent the related option is exercisable, or
Tandem SAR, or independent of a stock option, or
Non-Tandem SAR. A SAR is a right to receive a
payment in shares of our common stock or cash, as determined by
the committee, equal in value to the excess of the fair market
value of one share of our common stock on the date of exercise
over the exercise price per share established in connection with
the grant of the SAR. The term of each SAR may not exceed ten
years. The exercise price per share covered by an SAR will be
the exercise price per share of the related option in the case
of a Tandem SAR and will be the fair market value of our common
stock on the date of grant in the case of a Non-Tandem SAR. The
committee may also grant limited SARs, either as Tandem SARs or
Non-Tandem SARs, which may become exercisable only upon the
occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the 2011
Incentive Plan, or such other event as the committee may
designate at the time of grant or thereafter.
Restricted Stock. The committee may award
shares of restricted stock. Except as otherwise provided by the
committee upon the award of restricted stock, the recipient
generally will have the rights of a stockholder with respect to
the shares, including the right to receive dividends, the right
to vote the shares of restricted stock and, conditioned upon
full vesting of shares of restricted stock, the right to tender
such shares, subject to the conditions and restrictions
generally applicable to restricted stock or specifically set
forth in the recipients restricted stock agreement. The
committee may determine at the time of award that the payment of
dividends, if any, will be deferred until the expiration of the
applicable restriction period. Recipients of restricted stock
will be required to
107
enter into a restricted stock agreement with us that states the
restrictions to which the shares are subject, which may include
satisfaction of pre-established performance goals, and the
criteria or date or dates on which such restrictions will lapse.
If the grant of restricted stock or the lapse of the relevant
restrictions is based on the attainment of performance goals,
the committee will establish for each recipient the applicable
performance goals, formulae or standards and the applicable
vesting percentages with reference to the attainment of such
goals or satisfaction of such formulae or standards while the
outcome of the performance goals are substantially uncertain.
Such performance goals may incorporate provisions for
disregarding, or adjusting for, changes in accounting methods,
corporate transactions, including, without limitation,
dispositions and acquisitions, and other similar events or
circumstances. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
requires that performance awards be based upon objective
performance measures. The performance goals for
performance-based restricted stock will be based on one or more
of the objective criteria set forth on Exhibit A to the
2011 Incentive Plan and are discussed in general below.
Other Stock-Based Awards. The committee may,
subject to limitations under applicable law, make a grant of
such other stock-based awards, including, without limitation,
performance units, dividend equivalent units, stock equivalent
units, restricted stock and deferred stock units under the 2011
Incentive Plan that are payable in cash or denominated or
payable in or valued by shares of our common stock or factors
that influence the value of such shares. The committee may
determine the terms and conditions of any such other awards,
which may include the achievement of certain minimum performance
goals for purposes of compliance with Section 162(m) of the
Code and a minimum vesting period. The performance goals for
performance-based other stock-based awards will be based on one
or more of the objective criteria set forth on Exhibit A to
the 2011 Incentive Plan and discussed in general below.
Other Cash-Based Awards. The committee may
grant awards payable in cash. Cash-based awards shall be in such
form, and dependent on such conditions, as the committee shall
determine, including, without limitation, being subject to the
satisfaction of vesting conditions or awarded purely as a bonus
and not subject to restrictions or conditions. If a cash-based
award is subject to vesting conditions, the committee may
accelerate the vesting of such award in its discretion.
Performance Awards. The committee may grant a
performance award to a participant payable upon the attainment
of specific performance goals. The committee may grant
performance awards that are intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the
Code as well as performance awards that are not intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation under
Section 162(m) of the Code. If the performance award is
payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the
relevant performance goals either in cash or in shares of
restricted stock, based on the then current fair market value of
such shares, as determined by the committee. Based on service,
performance or other factors or criteria, the committee may, at
or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any
performance award.
Performance Goals. The committee may grant
awards of restricted stock, performance awards, and other
stock-based awards that are intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code. These awards may be granted,
vest and be paid based on attainment of specified performance
goals established by the committee. These performance goals may
be based on the attainment of a certain target level of, or a
specified increase or decrease in, one or more of the following
measures selected by the committee: (1) earnings per share;
(2) operating income; (3) gross income; (4) net
income, before or after taxes; (5) cash flow;
(6) gross profit; (7) gross profit return on
investment; (8) gross margin return on investment;
(9) gross margin; (10) operating margin;
(11) working capital; (12) earnings before interest
and taxes; (13) earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortization; (14) return on equity; (15) return
on assets; (16) return on capital; (17) return on
invested capital; (18) net revenues; (19) gross
revenues; (20) revenue growth, as to either gross or net
revenues; (21) annual recurring net or gross revenues;
(22) recurring net or gross revenues; (23) license
revenues; (24) sales or market share; (25) total
shareholder return; (26) economic value added;
(27) specified objectives with regard to limiting the level
of increase in all or a portion of our bank debt or other
long-term or short-term public or private debt or other similar
financial obligations, which may be calculated net of cash
balances and other offsets and adjustments as may be established
by the committee; (28) the fair market value of the a share
of common stock; (29) the growth in the value of an
investment in the common stock assuming the reinvestment of
dividends; (30) reduction in operating expenses or
(31) other objective criteria determined by the committee.
108
To the extent permitted by law, the committee may also exclude
the impact of an event or occurrence which the committee
determines should be appropriately excluded, such as
(1) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary
items and other unusual or non-recurring charges; (2) an
event either not directly related to our operations or not
within the reasonable control of management; or (3) a
change in accounting standards required by generally accepted
accounting principles. Performance goals may also be based on an
individual participants performance goals, as determined
by the committee. In addition, all performance goals may be
based upon the attainment of specified levels of our
performance, or the performance of a subsidiary, division or
other operational unit, under one or more of the measures
described above relative to the performance of other
corporations. The committee may designate additional business
criteria on which the performance goals may be based or adjust,
modify or amend those criteria.
Change in Control. In connection with a change
in control, as will be defined in the 2011 Incentive Plan, the
committee may accelerate vesting of outstanding awards under the
2011 Incentive Plan. In addition, such awards may be, in the
discretion of the committee, (1) assumed and continued or
substituted in accordance with applicable law;
(2) purchased by us for an amount equal to the excess of
the price of a share of our common stock paid in a change in
control over the exercise price of the awards; or
(3) cancelled if the price of a share of our common stock
paid in a change in control is less than the exercise price of
the award. The committee may also provide for accelerated
vesting or lapse of restrictions of an award at any time.
Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise
provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to
an award of restricted stock, a participant will have no rights
as a stockholder with respect to shares of our common stock
covered by any award until the participant becomes the record
holder of such shares.
Amendment and Termination. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the 2011 Incentive Plan, our board of
directors may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of
the 2011 Incentive Plan, or suspend or terminate it entirely,
retroactively or otherwise; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise required by law or specifically provided in the 2011
Incentive Plan, the rights of a participant with respect to
awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or
termination may not be adversely affected without the consent of
such participant.
Transferability. Awards granted under the 2011
Incentive Plan generally will be nontransferable, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, except that the
committee may provide for the transferability of nonqualified
stock options at the time of grant or thereafter to certain
family members.
Recoupment of Awards. The 2011 Incentive Plan
will provide that awards granted under the 2011 Incentive Plan
are subject to any recoupment policy we may regarding the
clawback of incentive-based compensation under the
Exchange Act or under any applicable rules and regulations
promulgated by the SEC.
Effective Date. We expect that the 2011
Incentive Plan will be adopted in connection with the merger.

All of the equity incentive plans awards granted in the fiscal
year are performance based awards that would have vested upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in
the Prior LLC Agreement) in which Waud Capital Partners achieves
a targeted internal rate of return. All of these awards were
reclassified into Class B Units in connection with Acadia
Holdings entry into the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement on
April 1, 2011. |

These options were approved for issue by the PHC board of
directors separate from PHCs established executive bonus
plan. None of the targets were met based on PHCs
performance in fiscal 2010. The options issued were 25% vested
when issued and vest 25% on each of the next three anniversary
dates of the grant and expire after five years. PHC utilized the
Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the Grant Date
Value with no adjustments for non-transferability or risk of
forfeiture. The assumptions used are as follows (as of
December 14, 2009): (i) risk free interest rate of
2.30%; (ii) no expected dividend yield; (iii) expected
lives of five years; and (iv) expected volatility of 60.66%. |

Options
Exercised and Stock Vested
None of the units of Acadia Holdings issued to Mr. Carter
prior to April 2011 were subject to any vesting.
There were no options exercised or stock vested held by
Mr. Shear in PHCs fiscal year ended June 30,
2010.
Pension
Benefits
Neither Acadia nor PHC offered any pension benefits to any of
NEO for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 or
June 30, 2010, as applicable.
Non-qualified
Deferred Compensation
Neither Acadia nor PHC have any non-qualified deferred
compensation plans. We do not intend to adopt any non-qualified
deferred compensation after consummation of the merger.
Potential
Payments upon Termination or
Change-in-Control
The equity agreements pursuant to which Acadia Holdings issued
units of Acadia Holdings to certain members of Acadia management
provide for potential payments that could be received by the
NEOs employed by Acadia upon termination of employment or in
connection with a Sale of Acadia. Consummation of the merger
will not trigger a
change-in-control
payment under such agreements.
PHC has entered into a
change-in-control
arrangement with Mr. Shear. The arrangement calls for
Mr. Shear, in the event of a change in control, to receive
payment of his average annual salary for the past five years
times a multiplier of 2.99, as set by PHCs compensation
committee. The proposed merger constitutes a change in control
under Mr. Shears
change-in-control
arrangements with PHC. Assuming a June 30, 2011 closing
date for the merger, Mr. Shear would have been entitled to
a
change-in-control
payment of $1,529,951 under his
change-in-control
arrangement.

ACADIA
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
As used in this Acadia Business Description
and in the Acadia Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,
Acadia Principal Stockholders and Acadia
Interested Transactions sections, unless otherwise set
forth herein, references to we, us, and
our refer to Acadia and its subsidiaries after
acquisition of YFCS but prior to consummation of the merger.
Overview
Founded in December 2005, Acadia is a leading provider of
behavioral health care services in the United States. Acadia
operates 19 inpatient behavioral health care facilities in
13 states. On April 1, 2011, Acadia acquired
Youth & Family Centered Services, Inc.
(YFCS), the largest private, for-profit provider of
behavioral health, education and long term support services
exclusively for abused and neglected children and adolescents.
YFCS services include residential treatment care,
community-based services, acute care, specialized education
services, therapeutic group homes, therapeutic foster care and
medical and behavioral services.
For the year ended December 31, 2010 and the quarter ended
March 31, 2011, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the
YFCS acquisition, we generated revenues of $248.7 million
and $63.3 million, respectively. As of May 1, 2011, we
operated 19 facilities, including six inpatient psychiatric
facilities that provide acute care services, 13 inpatient
facilities that provide resident treatment care, eight
facilities that provide community based services and one
substance abuse facility.
History
and Acquisitions
Acadia was formed in 2005 by Waud Capital Partners
(WCP) as a behavioral health company to acquire,
develop and operate behavioral health facilities. Acadia has
grown both organically and through acquisitions. Key
acquisitions since 2008 include:
Youth & Family Centered Services, Inc.
(2011) largest private, for-profit provider of
behavioral health, education and long term support services
exclusively for abused and neglected children and adolescents.
YFCS had 12 active operations in eight states, over 100 clinical
programs and served over 4,300 infants, children and adolescents
at the time of its acquisition by Acadia.
Peninsula Village (2009) 145-bed residential
treatment center located in Louisville, Tennessee.
Acadiana Addiction Center (2009) 42-bed
substance abuse facility located in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Riverwoods (2008) 55-bed inpatient
psychiatric facility located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Acadia was formed as a limited liability company in the State of
Delaware in 2005. Our principal executive offices are located at
830 Crescent Centre Drive, Suite 610, Franklin, Tennessee
37067. Our telephone number is
(615) 861-6000.
Types of
Facilities and Services
Our facilities and services can generally be classified into the
following categories: acute inpatient psychiatric facilities;
residential treatment centers; group home, therapeutic group
home and foster care; substance abuse centers; outpatient
community-based services; specialized educational services and
other behavioral services. The
115

Acute
Inpatient Psychiatric Facilities
Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities provide a high level of
care in order to stabilize patients that are either a threat to
themselves or to others. The acute setting provides
24-hour
observation, daily intervention and monitoring by psychiatrists.
Generally, due to high patient turnover and the special security
and health precautions required, acute psychiatric hospitals
have lower average occupancy.
Our facilities which offer acute care services provide
evaluation and crisis stabilization of patients with severe
psychiatric diagnoses through a medical model delivery that
incorporates structured and intensive medical and behavioral
therapies with
24-hour
monitoring by a psychiatrist, psychiatric trained nurses and
direct care staff. Lengths of stay for crisis stabilization and
acute care range in these facilities range from three to five
days and from five to twelve days, respectively.
As of May 1, 2011, we operated six facilities that provide
acute care services in addition to other services.
Residential
Treatment Centers
Residential treatment centers treat psychiatric patients in a
non-hospital setting. The facilities balance therapy activities
with social, academic and other activities. Since the setting is
less intensive, demands on staffing, security and oversight are
generally lower than inpatient psychiatric facilities. In
contrast to acute care psychiatric facilities, occupancy can be
managed more easily given a longer length of stay. Over time,
however, residential treatment centers have continued to serve
increasingly severe patients who would have been treated in
acute care facilities in earlier years.
We provide residential treatment care through a medical model
residential treatment facility, which offers intensive,
medically-driven interventions, intense
staff-to-patient
ratios and sophisticated treatment regimens designed to deal
with the high level of patient acuity and dysfunction. Children
and adolescents admitted to these facilities typically have had
multiple prior failed treatment attempts, histories of severe
physical, sexual and emotional abuse, termination of parental
custody, substance abuse, marked deficiencies in social,
interpersonal and academic skills and a wide range of multiple
psychiatric disorders. Treatment typically is provided by an
interdisciplinary team coordinating psychopharmacological,
individual, group and family therapy along with specialized
accredited educational programs in both secure and unlocked
environments.
Lengths-of-stay
range from three months to several years.
As of May 1, 2011, we operated 13 facilities that provide
residential treatment care, in addition to other services.
Group
Home, Therapeutic Group Homes and Foster Care
Our group-home programs provide family-style living for
approximately four to 12 youths in a single house or apartment
within residential communities where supervision and support are
provided by
24-hour
staff. The goal of
116
a group home program is to teach family living and social skills
through individual and group counseling sessions within a real
life environment. The residents are encouraged to take on
responsibility for the home and their health as well as actively
take part in community functions. Most attend an accredited and
licensed school (on our premises) or a local public school in
their area.
We also operate therapeutic group homes which provide
comprehensive treatment services for serious, emotionally
disturbed adolescents. The ultimate goal is to reunite or place
these children with their families or prepare them, when
appropriate, for permanent placement with a relative or an
adoptive family. Therapeutic foster care is considered the least
restrictive form of therapeutic placement for children and
adolescents with emotional disorders who often are part of the
child welfare or juvenile justice system. Care is delivered in
private homes with experienced foster parents who are trained to
work with children and adolescents with special needs.
As of May 1, 2011, we operated two facilities that provide
group home services and one facility that provides therapeutic
group home services.
Substance
Abuse Centers
Substance abuse centers (or SACs) provide a comprehensive
continuum of care for male and female adults with addictive
disorders and co-occurring mental disorders. Our detox,
inpatient, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment
options are cost-effective and give patients access to the least
restrictive level of care. All programs offer individualized
treatment in a supportive and nurturing environment. As of
May 1, 2011, we operated one SAC.
Outpatient
Community-Based Services
Our community-based services can be divided into two age groups:
children and adolescents (seven to 18 years of age) and
young children (three months to six years of age).
Community-based programs are designed to provide therapeutic
treatment to children and adolescents who have a
clinically-defined emotional, psychiatric or chemical dependency
disorder while enabling the youth to remain at home and within
their community. Many patients who participate in
community-based programs have transitioned out of a residential
facility or have a disorder that does not require placement in a
facility that provides
24-hour care.
Community-based programs developed for these age groups provide
a unique array of therapeutic services to a very high-risk
population of children. These children suffer from severe
congenital, neurobiological, speech/motor and early onset
psychiatric disorders. These services are provided in clinics
and employ a treatment model that is consistent with our multi,
interdisciplinary medical treatment approach. Depending on their
individual needs and treatment plan, children receive speech,
physical, occupational and psychiatric interventions that are
coordinated with services provided by their referring primary
care physician. The children receive treatment from
7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. five days a week.
As of May 1, 2011, we operated eight facilities that
provide community-based services.
Specialized
Education Services
Our accredited grammar, middle and high schools (including
charter schools) are unique because of their focus on
integrating educational interventions into each childs
individual treatment plan through participation in
inter-disciplinary treatment team meetings to assist in
monitoring and reporting on each childs clinical progress.
Our education programs are accredited schools that provide a
full educational experience to children and adolescents having
special education needs. In some states, we provide educational
services on an extended school year basis. As a result of the
YFCS acquisition, we now also have charter schools that utilize
teaching methods that address therapeutic needs particular to
learning and behavioral deficits of the students.
Our education services also include vocational education and
training that may allow those residents to become employable in
entry level positions in the communities in which they reside.
GED preparation courses are also offered for students who
require assistance in developing test-taking skills and who
would benefit from tutoring services.
As of May 1, 2011, we operated 11 facilities that provide
educational services.
117
Other
Behavioral Services
We also offer a variety of other behavioral health services for
specialized populations who need specific treatment methods.
Programs include at risk infant and children
clinics, sexually maladaptive behavior (SMB)
programs, programs for adolescent females, programs for the
mentally retarded and developmentally disabled youth and
programs for severe and persistently mentally ill youths.
Business
Strengths
We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our
competitors and contribute to our success:
Premier
Operational Management Team with Track Record of
Success
Our management team has 135 combined years of experience in
acquiring, integrating and operating a variety of behavioral
facilities. Following the sale of PSI to UHS in November 2010,
PSIs former executive officers joined Acadia in February
2011. The combination of the Acadia management team with the
operational expertise of the former PSI management team gives us
what we believe to be the premier leadership team in the
behavioral health care industry. The new management team will
bring its years of experience operating behavioral health
facilities, generating strong cash flow and growing a strong
business.
Favorable
industry and legislative trends
|
|
|
|
|
Health reform and the expansion of health insurance coverage may
increase the number of patients seeking behavioral health
services as payment issues are the primary reasons for people
not seeking mental health and substance abuse treatment.
|
|
|
|
Expanded coverage should reduce uncollectible accounts
receivable.
|
|
|
|
The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and
Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (the MHPAEA) provides
for equal coverage between psychiatric or mental health services
and conventional medical health services and forbids employers
and insurers from placing stricter limits on mental health care
compared to other health conditions.
|
|
|
|
Expanded coverage has in turn increased awareness and acceptance
of mental health and substance abuse diseases.
|
|
|
|
Mental health and substance abuse treatment in the United States
is projected to grow from approximately $121 billion in
2003 to approximately $239 billion in 2014 at a compound
annual growth rate of approximately 6.4%.
|
|
|
|
Approximately 6% of people in the United States suffer from a
seriously debilitating mental illness and over 20% of children,
either currently or at some point during their life, have had a
seriously debilitating mental disorder.
|
Leading
Platform in Highly Attractive Healthcare Niche
Upon our acquisition of YFCS, we became one of the largest
providers of behavioral health care services in the United
States. Our scale positions us well, as the industry itself is
undergoing consolidation in an effort to reduce costs and better
negotiate with larger payer organizations. In addition, the
behavioral health care industry has significant barriers to
entry as it is highly specialized and regulated. Significant
capital requirements are required and market entrants are
expected to have knowledge of state and federal laws, medical
facility operations and be licensed with each agency in each
location.
Diversified
Revenue and Payor Bases
After giving effect to the YFCS acquisition, we now operate 19
facilities in 13 states. The YFCS acquisition increased our
payor, patient/client and geographic diversity, which mitigates
the potential risk associated with any single facility. On a pro
forma basis giving effect to the YFCS acquisition, our largest
facility accounted for less than
118
15% of 2010 revenue and no other facility accounted for more
than 11% of total facility revenue. Such increased diversity
also mitigates the impact of any financial or budgetary pressure
that may arise in a particular state in which we operate a
facility, with no state accounting for more than 20% of revenue
on a pro forma basis giving effect to the YFCS acquisition.
Business
Strategy
We are committed to providing the communities we serve with high
quality, cost-effective behavioral health services, while
growing our business, increasing profitability and creating
long-term value for our stockholders. To achieve these
objectives, we have aligned our activities around the following
growth strategies:
Increase
Margins by Enhancing Programs and Improving Underperforming
Facilities
We believe we can improve efficiencies and increase operating
margins by utilizing our managements expertise and
experience within existing programs and their expertise in
improving performance at underperforming facilities. We believe
the efficiencies can be realized by investing in growth in
strong markets, addressing capital constrained facilities that
have underperformed and improving management systems.
Furthermore, the YFCS acquisition gives us an opportunity to
develop a national marketing strategy in many markets which
should help to increase the geographic footprint from which our
existing facilities attract patients and referrals.
Opportunistically
Pursue Acquisitions
We selectively seek opportunities to expand and diversify our
base of operations by acquiring additional facilities. The
combination of Acadia and YFCS creates a national platform to
become the leading dedicated provider of high quality behavioral
health care services in the U.S. We intend to focus our
efforts on acquiring additional acute psychiatric facilities,
which should increase the percentage of such facilities in our
portfolio. We leverage our management teams expertise to
identify and integrate acquisitions based on a disciplined
acquisition strategy that focuses on quality of service, return
on investment, and strategic benefits.
Drive
Organic Growth of Existing Facilities
We seek to increase revenue at our facilities by providing a
broader range of services to new and existing patients and
clients. The YFCS acquisition presents us with an opportunity to
leverage YFCS platform in order to provide a wider array
of behavioral health services (including adult services and
acute services) to patients and clients in the markets YFCS
serviced before the acquisition without increasing the number of
our licensed beds. We also intend to increase licensed bed
counts in our existing facilities, with a focus on increasing
the number of acute psychiatric beds. Furthermore, we believe
that opportunities exist to leverage
out-of-state
referrals to increase volume and minimize payor concentration,
especially with respect to our youth and adolescent focused
services and our substance abuse services.
Facilities
We currently own or operate inpatient psychiatric facilities,
residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse
facilities and facilities providing outpatient community based
services, specialized education
119
services and various other outpatient behavioral health
services. The following table summarizes the services provided
at, and information regarding, our facilities as of May 1,
2011.

We receive payments from the following sources, for services
rendered in our facilities: (i) state governments under
their respective Medicaid programs and otherwise;

Medicare and approximately 1% came directly from patients or
clients.
Industry
Overview
Mental
Health Industry
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 26.2% of
Americans ages 18 or older, or slightly more than one in
four adults, suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a
given year and about 6% suffer from a serious mental illness.
Approximately one in five children and adolescents has a mental
disorder.
The mental health facilities and youth behavioral services
market is estimated to be approximately $22 billion with an
estimated 73 million people in the United States having
diagnosable mental illnesses. The child and adolescent
behavioral health services market is estimated to be
approximately $10.1 billion in 2010 and is expected
120
to grow to approximately $11 billion by 2014 according to
IBISWorld. This market is likely to expand in light of the
growing under age of 18 population, which is expected to reach
81.7 million by 2020. National expenditures on mental
health and substance abuse treatment are expected to reach
$239 billion by 2014. The mental health and substance abuse
centers industry is growing in response to an increased
awareness of mental and substance abuse diseases. In 2010, the
industry generated revenue of approximately $9.0 billion.
In 2014, the industry is expected to generate revenue of
approximately $10.2 billion according to IBISWorld. The
behavioral health industry is highly fragmented, with only a few
large national providers of significant scale. The industry is
characterized by favorable supply and demand dynamics, with
capacity reductions during the 1990s driving a sustained
increase in occupancy rates.
The capacity reduction was largely driven by third-party payors
reducing reimbursement, implementing more stringent admission
criteria and decreasing the authorized length of stay. Since
then, the supply of new beds has remained relatively stable as
the industry has high barriers to entry, including CON
restrictions, Medicare/Medicaid certification requirements and
high
start-up
costs. Reduced capacity, mental health parity legislation (as
discussed below in Regulation
Mental Health Parity Legislation) and increased demand for
behavioral healthcare services have resulted in favorable
industry fundamentals over the last several years. The industry
has been characterized by relatively stable pricing and
inpatient average length of stay combined with increased
admissions and occupancy trends, with minimal exposure to
uncompensated care and relatively low maintenance capital
expenditure requirements.
The growing acceptance of mental health and substance abuse
conditions is expected to accelerate demand for services while
healthcare reform is expected to increase access to industry
services as more people gain insurance coverage. A key aspect of
reform legislation is the extension of mental health parity
protections established into law by the MHPAEA. Further, all
health plans purchased through the new federally funded health
insurance exchange system will cover mental health and substance
abuse services on par with coverage for medical and surgical
services.
Regulation
Overview
The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws, regulations
and rules including, among others, those related to government
healthcare participation requirements, various licensure and
accreditations, reimbursement for patient services, health
information privacy and security rules, and Medicare and
Medicaid fraud and abuse provisions. Providers that are found to
have violated any of these laws and regulations may be excluded
from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected
to significant fines or penalties
and/or
required to repay amounts received from the government for
previously billed patient services. We believe we are in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and are not
aware of pending or threatened investigations involving
allegations of wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries
have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be
subject to future government review and interpretation, as well
as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and
exclusion from government health programs.
Licensing
and Certification
All of our facilities must comply with various federal, state
and local statutes and regulations and receive periodic
inspection by licensing agencies to assure compliance with such
laws.
Certificates
of Need
Many of the states in which we operate facilities have enacted
CON laws as a condition prior to hospital capital expenditures,
construction, expansion, modernization or initiation of major
new services. Failure to obtain CON approval of certain
activities can result in our inability to complete an
acquisition, expansion or replacement, the imposition of civil
or, in some cases, criminal sanctions, the inability to receive
Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement or the revocation of a
facilitys license, which could harm our business. In the
past, we have not experienced any material adverse effects from
those requirements, but we cannot predict the impact of these
changes upon our operations.
121
Utilization
Review
Federal regulations require that admissions and utilization of
facilities by Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed in
order to ensure efficient utilization of facilities and
services. The law and regulations require Quality Improvement
Organizations (QIOs) to review the appropriateness
of Medicare and Medicaid patient admissions and discharges, the
quality of care provided, the validity of diagnosis related
group classifications and the appropriateness of cases of length
of stay. QIOs may deny payment for services provided, assess
fines and also have the authority to recommend to the Department
of Health and Human Services that a provider that is in
substantial non-compliance with the Medicare Conditions of
Participation be excluded from participating in the Medicare
program.
Audits
Most healthcare facilities are subject to federal and state
audits to validate the accuracy of claims submitted to the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. If these audits identify
overpayments, we could be required to make substantial
repayments subject to various administrative appeal rights. Each
of Acadia and YFCS has undergone claims audits related to its
respective receipt of federal healthcare payments during the
last several years with no material overpayments identified.
However, potential liability from future federal or state audits
could ultimately exceed established reserves, and any excess
could potentially be substantial. Further, Medicare and Medicaid
regulations also provide for withholding Medicare and Medicaid
overpayments in certain circumstances, which could adversely
affect our cash flow.
Anti-Kickback
Legislation
A provision of the Social Security Act known as the
anti-kickback statute prohibits healthcare providers
and others from directly or indirectly soliciting, receiving,
offering or paying money or other remuneration to other
individuals and entities in return for using, referring,
ordering, recommending or arranging for such referrals or orders
of services or other items covered by a federal or state health
care program. However, recent changes to the anti-kickback
statute have reduced the intent required for violation. One is
no longer required to have actual knowledge or specific
intent to commit a violation of the anti-kickback statute
in order to be found guilty of violating such law.
The anti-kickback statute contains certain exceptions, and the
Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and
Human Services (OIG) has issued regulations that
provide for safe harbors, from the federal
anti-kickback statute for various activities. The fact that
conduct or a business arrangement does not fall within a safe
harbor or exception does not automatically render the conduct or
business arrangement illegal under the anti-kickback statute.
However, such conduct and business arrangements may lead to
increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities.
Although we believe that our arrangements with physicians,
psychiatrists and other referral sources have been structured to
comply with current law and available interpretations, there can
be no assurance that all arrangements comply with an available
safe harbor or that regulatory authorities enforcing these laws
will determine these financial arrangements do not violate the
anti-kickback statute or other applicable laws. Violations of
the anti-kickback statute may be punished by a criminal fine.
Civil money penalties may also be imposed.
These laws and regulations are extremely complex and, in many
cases, we do not have the benefit of regulatory or judicial
interpretation. It is possible that different interpretations or
enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject our
current or past practices (or those of Acadia or YFCS) to
allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to
make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services,
capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. A
determination that we have violated one or more of these laws,
or the public announcement that we are being investigated for
possible violations of one or more of these laws, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations. In addition, we cannot predict whether
other legislation or regulations at the federal or state level
will be adopted, what form such legislation or regulations may
take or what their impact on us may be.
122
If we are deemed to have failed to comply with the anti-kickback
statute or other applicable laws and regulations, we could be
subjected to liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil
penalties (including the loss of our licenses to operate one or
more facilities), and exclusion of one or more facilities from
participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and
state health care programs. The imposition of such penalties
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
Federal
False Claims Act and Other Fraud and Abuse
Provisions
The Social Security Act also imposes criminal and civil
penalties for submitting false claims to Medicare and Medicaid.
False claims include, but are not limited to, billing for
services not rendered, billing for services without prescribed
documentation, misrepresenting actual services rendered in order
to obtain higher reimbursement and cost report fraud. Like the
anti-kickback statute, these provisions are very broad.
Violations of the Federal False Claims Act are punishable by
fines up to three times the actual damages sustained by the
government, plus mandatory civil penalties. There are many
potential bases for liability under the False Claims Act.
Liability often arises when an entity knowingly submits a false
claim for reimbursement to the federal government. The Fraud
Enforcement and Recovery Act has expanded the number of actions
for which liability may attach under the False Claims Act,
eliminating requirements that false claims be presented to
federal officials or directly involve federal funds. The Fraud
Enforcement and Recovery Act also clarifies that a false claim
violation occurs upon the knowing retention, as well as the
receipt, of overpayments. In addition, recent changes to the
anti-kickback statute have made violations of that law
punishable under the civil False Claims Act. Further, a number
of states have adopted their own false claims provisions as well
as their own whistleblower provisions whereby a private party
may file a civil lawsuit on behalf of the state in state court.
A current trend affecting the health care industry is the
increased use of the federal False Claims Act, and, in
particular, actions being brought by individuals on the
governments behalf under the False Claims Acts qui
tam, or whistleblower, provisions. Whistleblower provisions
allow private individuals to bring actions on behalf of the
government by alleging that the defendant has defrauded the
Federal government.
Further, HIPAA broadened the scope of the fraud and abuse laws
by adding several criminal provisions for health care fraud
offenses that apply to all health benefit programs, whether or
not payments under such programs are paid pursuant to federal
programs. HIPAA also introduced enforcement mechanisms to
prevent fraud and abuse in Medicare. There are civil penalties
for prohibited conduct, including, but not limited to billing
for medically unnecessary products or services.
HIPAA
Administrative Simplification and Privacy
Requirements
The administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA, as
amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act (HITECH), require the use of
uniform electronic data transmission standards for health care
claims and payment transactions submitted or received
electronically. These provisions are intended to encourage
electronic commerce in the health care industry. HIPAA also
established federal rules protecting the privacy and security of
personal health information. The privacy and security
regulations address the use and disclosure of individual health
care information and the rights of patients to understand and
control how such information is used and disclosed. Violations
of HIPAA can result in both criminal and civil fines and
penalties.
The HIPAA security regulations require health care providers to
implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to
protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of
patient information. HITECH has since strengthened certain HIPAA
rules regarding the use and disclosure of protected health
information, extended certain HIPAA provisions to business
associates, and created new security breach notification
requirements. HITECH has also increased maximum penalties for
violations of HIPAA privacy rules. We believe that we have been
in material compliance with the HIPAA regulations and
continuously develop our policies and procedures to ensure
ongoing compliance.
123
Mental
Health Parity Legislation
The MHPAEA was signed into law in October 2008. The MHPAEA
requires health insurance plans that offer mental health and
addiction coverage to provide that coverage on par with
financial and treatment coverage offered for other illnesses. In
addition, the law applies to Medicaid managed care plans, state
Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and
group health plans that do not already cover mental health and
substance abuse benefits. The MHPAEA has some limitations
because health plans that do not already cover mental health
treatments will not be required to do so, and health plans are
not required to provide coverage for every mental health
condition published in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders by the American Psychiatric Association. The
MHPAEA also contains a cost exemption which operates to exempt a
group health plan from the MHPAEAs requirements if
compliance with the MHPAEA becomes too costly.
The MHPAEA specifically directed the Secretaries of Labor,
Health and Human Services and the Treasury to issue regulations
to implement the legislation. Although regulations regarding how
the MHPAEA was to be implemented were issued on February 2,
2010 in the form of an interim final rule, final regulations
have not yet been published and interpretative guidance from the
regulators has been limited to date.
Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by
the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(collectively, the Health Reform Law), expands
coverage of uninsured individuals and provides for significant
reductions in the growth of Medicare program payments, material
decreases in Medicare and Medicaid disproportionate share
hospital payments, and the establishment of programs where
reimbursement is tied in part to quality and integration. Based
on Congressional Budget Office estimates, the Health Reform Law,
as enacted, is expected to expand health insurance coverage to
approximately 32 to 34 million additional individuals
through a combination of public program expansion and private
sector health insurance reforms. This increased coverage will
occur through a combination of public program expansion and
private sector health insurance and other reforms.
The most significant changes will expand the categories of
individuals eligible for Medicaid coverage and permit
individuals with relatively higher incomes to qualify. The
federal government reimburses the majority of a states
Medicaid expenses, and it conditions its payment on the state
meeting certain requirements. The federal government currently
requires that states provide coverage for only limited
categories of low-income adults under 65 years old (e.g.,
women who are pregnant, and the blind or disabled). In addition,
the income level required for individuals and families to
qualify for Medicaid varies widely from state to state.
Federal
Medical Assistance Percentages
As Medicaid is a joint federal and state program, the federal
government provides states with matching funds in a
defined percentage, known as the federal medical assistance
percentage (FMAP). Beginning in 2014, states will
receive an enhanced FMAP for the individuals enrolled in
Medicaid pursuant to the Health Reform Law. The FMAP percentage
is as follows: 100% for calendar years 2014 through 2016; 95%
for 2017; 94% in 2018; 93% in 2019; and 90% in 2020 and
thereafter.
Risk
Management and Insurance
The healthcare industry is general continues to experience an
increase in the frequency and severity of litigation and claims.
As is typical in the healthcare industry, we could be subject to
claims that our services have resulted in injury to our patients
or clients or other adverse effects. In addition, resident,
visitor and employee injuries could also subject us to the risk
of litigation. While we believe that quality care is provided to
patients and clients in our facilities and that we materially
comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, an adverse
determination in a legal proceeding or government investigation
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Prior to July 1, 2009, Acadia maintained commercial
insurance coverage on an occurrence basis for workers
compensation claims with no deductible. Effective July 1,
2009, Acadia and now Acadia-YFCS, maintains commercial insurance
coverage on an occurrence basis with a $250,000 deductible per
claim and a $1 million per
124
claim limit. We maintain commercial insurance coverage on a
claims-made basis for general and professional liability claims
with a $50,000 deductible and $1 million per claim limit
and an aggregate limit of $3 million with excess umbrella
coverage for an additional $7 million.
Environmental
Matters
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws that (i) regulate certain activities and operations
that may have environmental or health and safety effects, such
as the handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal
of medical waste products generated at our facilities; the
identification and warning of the presence of
asbestos-containing materials in buildings, as well as the
removal of such materials; the presence of other hazardous
substances in the indoor environment; and protection of the
environment and natural resources in connection with the
development or construction of our facilities; (ii) impose
liability for costs of cleaning up, and damages to natural
resources from, past spills, waste disposals on and off-site, or
other releases of hazardous materials or regulated substances,
and (iii) regulate workplace safety. Some of our facilities
generate infectious or other hazardous medical waste due to the
illness or physical condition of our patients. The management of
infectious medical waste is subject to regulation under various
federal, state and local environmental laws, which establish
management requirements for such waste. These requirements
include record-keeping, notice and reporting obligations. Each
of our facilities (other than our call centers) has an agreement
with a waste management company for the disposal of medical
waste. The use of such companies, however, does not completely
protect us from alleged violations of medical waste laws or from
related third-party claims for
clean-up
costs.
From time to time, our operations have resulted in, or may
result in, non-compliance with, or liability pursuant to,
environmental or health and safety laws or regulations. We
believe that our operations are generally in compliance with
environmental and health and safety regulatory requirements or
that any non-compliance will not result in a material liability
or cost to achieve compliance. Historically, the costs of
achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws and
regulations have not been material. However, we cannot assure
you that future costs and expenses required for us to comply
with any new or changes in existing environmental and health and
safety laws and regulations or new or discovered environmental
conditions will not have a material adverse effect on our
business.
We have not been notified of and are otherwise currently not
aware of any contamination at our currently or formerly operated
facilities for which we could be liable under environmental laws
or regulations for the investigation and remediation of such
contamination and we currently are not undertaking any
remediation or investigation activities in connection with any
contamination conditions. There may however be environmental
conditions currently unknown to us relating to our prior,
existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor
companies whose liabilities we may have assumed or acquired
which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
New laws, regulations or policies or changes in existing laws,
regulations or policies or their enforcement, future spills or
accidents or the discovery of currently unknown conditions or
non-compliances may give rise to investigation and remediation
liabilities, compliance costs, fines and penalties, or liability
and claims for alleged personal injury or property damage due to
substances or materials used in our operations; any of which may
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, operating results or cash flow.
Competition
The healthcare industry is highly competitive. Our principal
competitors include other behavioral health service companies,
including UHS, Aurora and Ascend. We also compete against
hospitals and general health care facilities that provide mental
health services. An important part of our business strategy is
to continue to make targeted acquisitions of other behavioral
health facilities. However, reduced capacity, the passage of
mental health parity legislation and increased demand for mental
health services are likely to attract other potential buyers,
including diversified healthcare companies and possibly other
pure behavioral healthcare companies.
In addition to the competition we face for acquisitions, we must
also compete for patients. Patients are referred to our
behavioral health facilities through a number of different
sources, including healthcare practitioners, public programs,
other treatment facilities, managed care organizations, unions,
emergency departments, judicial officials,
125
social workers, police departments and word of mouth from
previously treated patients and their families, among others.
These referral sources may instead refer patients to hospitals
that are able to provide a full suite of medical services or to
other behavioral health centers.
Employees
As of July 7, 2011, we had approximately 5,060 employees,
of whom approximately 4,292 were employed full-time.
Approximately 3,857 of these employees (approximately
3,471 full-time employees) are employed by the facilities
acquired by us in connection with our acquisition of YFCS in
April 2011. Typically, our inpatient facilities are staffed by a
chief executive officer, medical director, director of nursing,
chief financial officer, clinical director and director of
performance improvement. Psychiatrists and other physicians
working in our facilities are licensed medical professionals who
are generally not employed by us and work in our facilities as
independent contractors.
Seasonality
of Services
Due to the large number of children and adolescent patients
served, our inpatient behavioral health care facilities
typically experience lower patient volumes and revenue during
the summer months, the year-end holidays and other periods when
school is out of session.
Legal
Proceedings
In addition to the litigation described in The
Merger Litigation Relating to the Merger,
Acadia is subject to various claims and legal actions that arise
in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe
that Acadia currently is party to any proceedings that would
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations.

ACADIA
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations with
Selected Historical Financial Information
Acadia Historical Financial Data and the audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks
and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described
in the Risk Factors section of this prospectus.
Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements. You should read Cautionary
Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and
Risk Factors.
Overview
Our business strategy is to acquire and develop inpatient
behavioral health care facilities and improve our operating
results within our inpatient facilities and our other behavioral
health care operations. From 2006 through 2010 the company
acquired eight inpatient behavioral and substance abuse
facilities. During this time, the company also closed two
underperforming assets. Our goal is to improve the operating
results of our facilities by providing high quality services,
expanding referral networks and marketing initiatives while
meeting the increased demand for behavioral health care services
through expansion of our current locations as well as developing
new services within existing locations.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased
to $7.2 million in 2010 from $2.8 million in 2009, or
an increase of 157%. The increase in income from continuing
operations was a direct result of the increase in net revenues,
which increased 24% in 2010 over that in 2009 as inpatient and
outpatient volumes increased by 31% and 18%, respectively.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes in 2010
was negatively affected by $0.8 million of transaction fees
as a result of the YFCS merger.
Sources
of Revenue
Patient service revenue is generated by our facilities for
services provided to patients on an inpatient and outpatient
basis within the behavioral health facilities. Patient service
revenue is recorded at our established billing rates less
contractual adjustments. Contractual adjustments are recorded to
state our patient service revenue at the amount we expect to
collect for the services provided based on amounts reimbursable
by Medicare and Medicaid under provisions of cost or prospective
reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other third-party
payors at contractually determined rates. In 2010, 2009 and
2008, Medicare and Medicaid accounted for 62%, 62% and 63% of
total patient service revenue, respectively. Inpatient services
revenue comprised approximately 72%, 71% and 73% of our total
revenue for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Outpatient
service and other revenue accounted for 28%, 29% and 27% of our
total revenue for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Acquisitions
On April 1, 2011, Acadia completed the acquisition of YFCS,
a provider of behavioral health care services, for
$178.2 million. YFCS operates 13 facilities in eight states
and offers a broad array of behavioral programs to adults,
adolescents, and children. These programs include behavioral
acute and residential care in inpatient facilities, therapeutic
group homes, therapeutic foster care services, education, and
other community based services. This transaction was financed
with a new $135 million Senior Secured Term Loan and
$10 million of borrowings on a new $30 million
revolving credit facility, as well as $52.5 million of new
equity.
On May 24, 2011, Acadia signed a definitive merger
agreement with PHC, a leading national provider of inpatient and
outpatient mental health and drug and alcohol addiction
treatment programs in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Utah and
Virginia. Upon the completion of the merger, Acadia stockholders
will own approximately 77.5% of the combined company, and PHC
stockholders will own 22.5% of the combined company, on a fully
diluted basis (as defined in the merger agreement). The merger
will bring together Acadias 19 behavioral health
facilities, with approximately 1,600 beds in 13 states,
with PHCs nine facilities with approximately 280 beds in
four states. In addition, on July 1, 2011, PHC acquired
MeadowWood, a 58 bed acute inpatient behavioral facility located
in Newcastle, Delaware.
127
Anticipated
Synergies, Cost Savings and Revenue Improvements
Acadia management believes that the merger presents significant
synergies through the elimination of certain corporate overhead
costs. The current PHC corporate functions would be integrated
with and moved to the existing Acadia corporate offices in
Franklin, TN. The combined company would eliminate certain
redundant positions, professional services and other expenses,
as well as achieve efficiencies by integrating corporate
functions within a larger company framework. We are targeting
annual cost savings of approximately $3.4 million per annum
beginning in fiscal 2012 as a result of this integration. In
addition to these cost savings, Acadia management believes that
there are substantial opportunities to generate organic revenue
growth by increasing bed capacity in existing facilities,
increasing utilization rates at our existing facilities,
leveraging
out-of-state
referrals to increase volume, developing a national marketing
plan and expanding services at existing facilities.
In addition to synergies relating to the merger, we currently
expect that the capitalization of a certain facility lease will
reduce lease expense by approximately $0.7 million per annum.
Acadia management has also identified several recent
improvements to our revenue base from (i) a rate increase
on one of our contracts effective in March 2011, and
(ii) the expansion of one of our existing contracts in
December 2010. We believe that these improvements would have had
a positive effect on operating income (before taxes) of
$2.0 million and $0.3 million for 2010, respectively.
We estimated the improvement from the rate increase by
multiplying historical plan enrollment by the newly-contracted
rate, and we estimated the improvement from the contract
expansion using an estimate of monthly incremental operating
income resulting from the expansion for months prior to December
2010. In addition, we incurred start up losses at the Seven
Hills Behavioral Center, which was opened in the fourth quarter
of 2008 and became CMS certified in July 2010. The elimination
of the start up losses incurred in 2010 but not expected to be
incurred in the future would have resulted in additional
operating income (before taxes) of approximately
$1.5 million. See Risk Factors Risks
Affecting Acadia, PHC and the Combined Company We
may not achieve all of the expected benefits from synergies,
cost savings and recent improvements to our revenue base.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Historical
Cash provided by continuing operating activities was
$0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011
and the three months ended March 31, 2010. As of
March 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of
$2.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of
$8.0 million and long-term debt of $10.0 million. The
working capital deficit is attributable to the current
classification of our long-term debt as of March 31, 2011,
which was refinanced on April 1, 2011.
Cash used in investing activities was $0.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to
$0.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010. Cash used in investing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 consisted of purchases of property and
equipment. Cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2010 was $8.2 million compared
to $6.2 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This
increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of the
Acadiana facility on March 5, 2009 and The Village facility
on November 2, 2009 and improved operating results. Cash
used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010 was $1.5 million compared to cash
used in investing activities of approximately $3.4 million
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease
in cash provided by investing activities was due to two facility
acquisitions in 2009.
Cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to
$0.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010. Cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of
capital distributions of $0.4 million and $0.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. Cash used in financing activities was
$2.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2010 compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$1.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009. Cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted
of capital distributions of $2.3 million for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2010 and a $2.5 million
capital contribution for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009.
To finance our acquisition of YFCS and refinance our existing
$10.0 million secured promissory note, we entered into the
Senior Secured Credit Facility on April 1, 2011. The Senior
Secured Credit Facility, administered by Bank of America, N.A.,
includes $135.0 million of term loans and a revolving
credit facility of $30.0 million. Of the $30.0 million
available under the revolving portion of the Senior Secured
Credit Facility, $10.0 million was borrowed on
April 1, 2011 and $20.0 million was available for
further borrowings. The term loans require quarterly principal
payments of $1.7 million for June 30, 2011 to
March 31, 2013, $3.4 million for June 30, 2013 to
March 31, 2014, $4.2 million for June 30, 2014 to
March 31, 2015, and $5.1 million for June 30,
2015 to December 31, 2015, with the remaining principal
balance due on the maturity date of April 1, 2016. As of
June 30, 2011, we had $23.0 million of availability
under our revolving line of credit.
Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are
guaranteed by each of Acadias domestic subsidiaries and
are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of
Acadia and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the
Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate tied to
Acadias Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined as
Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, in each
case as defined in the credit agreement
131
governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility). The Applicable
Rate for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was
4.0% and 3.0% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans,
respectively, as of June 30, 2011. Eurodollar Rate Loans
bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate
(based upon the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate prior to
commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans bear
interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the
federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime rate
and (iii) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%. As of
June 30, 2011, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit
Facility bore interest at 4.2%. In addition, Acadia is required
to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving
line of credit. As of June 30, 2011, undrawn amounts bore
interest at a rate of 0.50%.
Acadia is subject to customary affirmative and negative
covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, including
restrictions on liens, investments, indebtedness and dividends,
and Acadia is subject to specified financial covenants,
including a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant and a
minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. As of
June 30, 2011, Acadia was in compliance with such covenants.
Following
the Merger
Second
Amendment to Senior Secured Credit Facility
In connection with the merger, we have entered into a Second
Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, dated
July 12, 2011 (the Second Amendment), which
will not become effective until consummation of the merger and
is conditioned upon the satisfaction of the conditions described
in the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment permits Acadia to
incur indebtedness pursuant to the Senior Notes
and/or the
Bridge Facility so long as conditions regarding such
indebtedness (including those set forth below) are satisfied:
|
|
|
|
|
the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness incurred under
the Bridge Facility, the Senior Notes and the Deficit Notes may
not exceed $150 million (plus any accrued interest, fees
and premiums in connection with refinancing the Bridge Facility
with the Senior Notes);
|
|
|
|
the Senior Notes must have a maturity 181 days beyond the
maturity;
|
|
|
|
the interest rate (including any OID) shall not exceed the
interest rate cap for the Bridge Facility and Senior Notes (plus
any default interest and up to 1.00% per annum of liquidated
damages in the form of increased interest);
|
|
|
|
the Bridge Facility may only be subject to mandatory redemptions
or prepayments (i) in connection with a change of control,
(ii) with proceeds of equity, asset sale dispositions or
indebtedness, in each case to the extent not required to prepay
amounts owed under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and
(iii) excess cash flow after repayment in full of all
obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (and any
refinancings, renewals or restatements) and termination of any
commitment thereunder;
|
|
|
|
the Senior Notes may only be subject to mandatory prepayments in
connection with a change of control or as a result of an asset
sale;
|
|
|
|
unless approved by the administrative agent, the indebtedness
may not be subject to covenants or events of default that are
materially more restrictive than covenants and events of default
that are usual and customary for senior unsecured high yield
notes giving due regard to prevailing conditions in the
syndicated loan and financial markets and operational
requirements of Acadia and its subsidiaries (it being understood
and agreed that the covenants of the Bridge Facility will be
incurrence based covenants based on those contained in the
preliminary offering memorandum used to market customary senior
unsecured high yield notes);
|
|
|
|
the indebtedness may not be subject to any scheduled principal
payments (other than on the maturity date); and
|
|
|
|
delivery of certain financial covenant calculations.
|
The Second Amendment provides for a change in the interest rate
applicable to borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit
Facility based upon Acadias Consolidated Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio (defined as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness
(other than Funded Indebtedness that is not secured by a lien on
any property of Acadia or its
132
subsidiaries) to Consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in
the Senior Secured Credit Facility). Interest rates and the
commitment fee on unused commitments will be based upon the
following grid:

The Second Amendment provides that the applicable rate for
Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans will be 4.50% and
3.50%, respectively, from the date of consummation of the merger
through the date of delivery of a compliance certificate for the
first fiscal quarter ending after consummation of the merger.
The Second Amendment will also amend the Consolidated Leverage
Ratio covenant and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage
Covenant and add a Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
covenant. Acadias Consolidated Leverage Ratio for fiscal
quarters beginning with the quarter ended September 30,
2011 may not be greater than 6.25:1.0 and for each quarter
beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2011 through
September 30, 2012, Acadias Consolidated Leverage
Ratio may not be greater than 6.00:1.0, with the maximum ratio
declining further thereafter.
Acadia will be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio of not less than 1.25:1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending
June 30, 2011 and 1.20:1.0 for each fiscal quarter
thereafter; provided that if the interest rate on the Senior
Notes or the Bridge Facility exceeds 13.00% on the effective
date of the Second Amendment, then the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio may not be less than 1.10:1.00 as of the last day of two
fiscal quarters ending after the effective date of the Second
Amendment.
Acadias Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
covenant requires that such ratio not be greater than 3.50:1.0
for the quarter ending September 30, 2011, 3.00:1.0 for the
quarter ending December 31, 2011 through September 30,
2012 and 2.50:1.0 for each quarter beginning December 31,
2012 and thereafter.
Effectiveness of the Second Amendment is conditioned upon
satisfaction of conditions (including the following):
|
|
|
|
|
the completion of the merger on or prior to December 15,
2011;
|
|
|
|
consummation of the merger substantially in accordance with the
terms of the merger agreement and other material acquisition
agreements as in effect on the date of the Second Amendment;
provided that if such material acquisition agreements have been
amended, modified or supplemented, the administrative agent
shall have consented to such amendment, modification or
supplement to the extent such amendment, modification or
supplement would be material and adverse to the lenders;
|
|
|
|
absence of an Acadia Material Adverse Effect or a
Phoenix Material Adverse Effect each as defined in
the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
repayment of certain indebtedness, other than agreed upon
indebtedness and incurrence of the Senior Notes or Bridge
Facility;
|
|
|
|
receipt of agreed upon financial statements, projections and
consents necessary to consummate the transaction contemplated by
the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
payment of fees and expenses required by the Second Amendment;
|
|
|
|
compliance with a 5.85:1.00 pro forma closing date total
leverage ratio;
|
|
|
|
compliance with a $53.5 million pro forma closing date
minimum EBITDA condition;
|
|
|
|
at least $20.0 million of availability under the revolving
line of credit under the Senior Secured Credit Facility; and
|
133
|
|
|
|
|
other customary financing conditions more fully set forth in the
Second Amendment, including without limitation the absence of a
Default four business days prior to the closing date
and an Event of Default on the date of closing (and
after giving effect to the transaction) (each as defined in the
credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility).
|
Debt
Commitment Letter
Acadia has entered into the Debt Commitment Letter with
Jefferies Finance pursuant to which Jefferies Finance has
committed, subject to customary conditions as further described
below, to provide the Bridge Facility of up to $150 million
in the event that $150 million of Senior Notes are not
issued by Acadia to finance the merger. Net proceeds from the
issuance of $150 million of Senior Notes or, if the Senior
Notes are not issued, drawings under the $150 million
Bridge Facility will be used, in addition to existing cash
balances, to pay the $5 million in cash payable to holders
of PHC Class B Common Stock in connection with the merger,
pay a dividend to Acacias existing stockholders, refinance
certain existing indebtedness of PHC and pay fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the merger.
The Bridge Facility, if drawn, will be guaranteed by
Acadias domestic subsidiaries and will mature initially on
the first anniversary of the closing of the merger, at which
time (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) the
maturity of any outstanding loans thereunder will be extended
automatically to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the
merger and may be exchanged by the lenders for notes due on such
sixth anniversary.
The Bridge Facility commitment is subject to:
|
|
|
|
|
consummation of the merger in accordance with the terms of the
merger agreement as in effect on the date of the Debt Commitment
Letter, which merger agreement, if amended, modified or
supplemented must be with the consent of Jefferies Finance to
the extent such amendment, modification or supplement would be
material and adverse to the lenders;
|
|
|
|
repayment of certain indebtedness, other than agreed upon
indebtedness (including the Senior Secured Credit Facility and
the Deficit Notes);
|
|
|
|
receipt of agreed upon financial statements, projections and
consents necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated
by the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
the absence of an Acadia Material Adverse Effect or a Phoenix
Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the merger
agreement);
|
|
|
|
payment of fees and expenses required by the Debt Commitment
Letter;
|
|
|
|
compliance by Acadia with the covenant contained in the Debt
Commitment Letter which provides that prior to and during the
syndication of the bridge facility, and subject to certain
exceptions, there being no offer or sale of any debt facility,
debt or preferred equity security by Acadia, PHC or any of
subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
compliance with a 5.85:1.00 pro forma closing date total
leverage ratio;
|
|
|
|
compliance with a $53.5 million pro forma closing date
minimum EBITDA condition;
|
|
|
|
the absence of any amendment modification or supplements to the
Senior Secured Credit Facility unless approved by Jefferies
Finance (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned);
|
|
|
|
the amount of the loans funded under the Bridge Facility
(together with any Senior Notes) is at least $150.0 million;
|
|
|
|
a 15 business day period prior to the completion of the merger
to market the senior unsecured notes; and
|
|
|
|
other customary financing conditions more fully set forth in the
Debt Commitment Letter.
|
The commitment for the Bridge Facility will terminate on
December 15, 2011 if the closing of the Bridge Facility has
not been consummated on or before such date or if the merger
agreement has been terminated. Each of Acadia and PHC is
obligated under the merger agreement to use its reasonable best
efforts to arrange the debt
134
financing on the terms contemplated. The receipt of the debt
financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt
Commitment Letter is a condition to the obligation of both
Acadia and PHC to consummate the merger.
Interest on the Bridge Facility, if funded, will initially bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the higher of
(i) 1.50% and (ii) the three-month LIBOR, adjusted
quarterly plus, in each case, a spread of 7.75%. The Bridge
Facility may be repaid at any time at 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest. The Bridge Facility will
be required to be repaid at 100% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued interest (i) with the net cash proceeds of the
issuance of debt or equity securities, (ii) the incurrence
of other indebtedness for borrowed money, subject to agreed upon
exceptions, (iii) sales of assets and (iv) 50% of
excess cash flow in fiscal year.

Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
Acadia has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest
rates. With respect to our interest-bearing liabilities, all of
our long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2011 was at
variable rates based on the prime rate plus an applicable
margin, subject to an interest rate floor of 6.5%. A
hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have an
impact on our net income or cash flows due to the excess of the
interest rate floor over market interest rates in recent periods.

Revenue. Revenue increased $0.2 million,
or 0.4%, to $45.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 from $45.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010. Revenue decreased $2.2 million,
or 1.2%, to $184.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010 from $186.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in revenue is
attributable to a decline in inpatient volumes related to
utilization pressures by referral sources.
Salaries and benefits. Salaries and benefits
expense was $29.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 compared to $27.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of
$1.7 million or 6.1%. Salaries and benefits expense
represented 64.6% of revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 compared to 61.1% of revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in salaries and
benefits expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011
relates primarily to the January 1, 2011 release of a pay
freeze and mandatory vacation requirements in place since 2009.
Salaries and benefits expense was $113.9 million for the
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Salaries and
benefits expense represented 61.8% of revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2010 compared to 61.0% of revenue for the year
ended December 31, 2009.
Other operating expenses. Other operating
expenses were $9.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, or 21.7% of revenue, compared to
$8.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010, or 19.7% of revenue. The increase in other operating
expenses is due to increases in purchased services, supplies,
and insurance expense related to the conversion of professional
liability insurance policies to guaranteed cost programs. Other
operating expenses were $38.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010, or 20.7% of revenue, compared to
$37.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or
20.2% of revenue.
Provision for bad debts. The provision for bad
debts was $0.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, or 0.5% of revenue, compared to
$0.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010, or 0.1% of revenue. The provision for bad debts was
$0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or
0.3% of revenue, compared to net recoveries of bad debts of
$0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
YFCS facilities experience minimal bad debts given their
low volumes of private pay admissions.
Interest expense. Interest expense was
$1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011
compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010. Interest expense was $7.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to
$9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The
decrease in interest expense is a result of principal payments
during 2010 and 2009.
136
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation
and amortization expense was $0.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011, or 1.8% of revenue, compared
to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010, or 2.0% of revenue. Depreciation and amortization expense
was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010,
or 1.9% of revenue, compared to $7.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2009, or 3.8% of revenue. The decrease
in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily
attributable to certain intangible assets becoming fully
amortized in 2009.
Impairment of goodwill. The loss on impairment
of goodwill of $23.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010 was a result of managements
conclusion that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the fair
value implied by the sale of the company.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. In preparing our financial statements, we are
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses
included in the financial statements. Estimates are based on
historical experience and other available information, the
results of which form the basis of such estimates. While we
believe our estimation processes are reasonable, actual results
could differ from our estimates. The following accounting
policies are considered critical to our operating performance
and involve highly subjective and complex assumptions and
assessments.
Revenue
and Contractual Discounts
Net patient service revenue is derived from services rendered to
patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care,
outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment
and includes reimbursement for the treatment of patients covered
by Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance (in network and out
of network), and other programs, as well as uninsured patients.
Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are provided.
The Medicare and Medicaid regulations are complex and various
managed care contracts may include multiple reimbursement
mechanisms for different types of services provided in our
inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions requiring
complex calculations and assumptions subject to interpretation.
We estimate the allowance for contractual discounts on a
payor-specific basis by comparing our established billing rates
with the amount we determine to be reimbursable given our
interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms.
Most payments are determined based on negotiated per-diem rates.
The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement
are often subject to interpretation that could result in
payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated
regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently
necessitating continual review and assessment of the estimation
process by our management. We periodically compare the
contractual rates on our patient accounting systems with the
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates or the third-party
payor contract for accuracy. We also monitor the adequacy of our
contractual adjustments using financial measures such as
comparing cash receipts to net patient revenue adjusted for bad
debt expense.

Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Our ability to collect outstanding patient receivables from
third-party payors is critical to our operating performance and
cash flows. The primary collection risk with regard to patient
receivables lies with uninsured
137
patient accounts or patient accounts for which primary insurance
has paid, but the portion owed by the patient remains
outstanding. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts
based on a number of factors, including the age of the accounts,
historical collection experience, current economic conditions
and other relevant factors. We continually monitor our accounts
receivable balances and utilize retrorespective reviews and cash
collection data to support our estimates of the provision for
doubtful accounts. Our retrospective reviews have not resulted
in significant changes to our allowance for doubtful accounts.
Significant changes in payor mix or business office operations
could have a significant impact on our results of operations and
cash flows.
Long-Lived
Assets and Goodwill
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and
finite-lived intangible assets, comprise a significant portion
of our total assets. We evaluate the carrying value of
long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be
recoverable. When management believes impairment indicators may
exist, projections of the undiscounted future cash flows
associated with the use and eventual disposition of long-lived
assets are prepared. If the projections indicate that the
carrying values of the long-lived assets are not recoverable, we
reduce the carrying values to fair value. We test for impairment
of long-lived assets at the lowest level for which cash flows
are measurable.
Goodwill also represents a significant portion of our total
assets. We review goodwill for impairment annually or more
frequently if events indicate that goodwill may be impaired. We
review goodwill at the reporting level unit, which is one level
below an operating segment. We compare the carrying value of the
net assets of a reporting unit to the fair value of the
reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an
impairment indicator exists and an estimate of the impairment
loss is calculated. The fair value calculation includes multiple
assumptions and estimates and changes in these assumptions and
estimates could result in goodwill impairment that could
materially adversely impact our financial position or results of
operations.
Income
Taxes
Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC was formed as a limited liability
company (LLC). Some of Acadias subsidiaries are organized
as LLCs and others as C-corporations. Acadia elected, where
applicable, that all such entities be taxed as flow-through
entities and as such, the results of operations of the Company
related to the flow-through entities are included in the income
tax returns of its members. Accordingly, taxable income is the
direct obligation of the members.
Some of Acadias subsidiaries are taxed as C-corporations
for federal and state income taxes as the respective
subsidiaries are directly liable for taxes on its separate
income. A tax provision has been provided for income taxes that
are the responsibility of Acadia or its subsidiaries in the
consolidated financial statements relating to the entities that
are taxed as C-corporations and for any taxing jurisdictions
that do not recognize an LLC as a flow-through entity.
Effective April 1, 2011, Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC
elected to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes and, on May 13, 2011, converted to a corporation
(Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.) in accordance with Delaware
law.
Insurance
We are subject to medical malpractice and other lawsuits due to
the nature of the services we provide. We maintain commercial
insurance coverage on a claims-made basis for general and
professional liability claims with a $50,000 deductible and
$1 million per claim limit and an aggregate limit of
$3 million with excess umbrella coverage for an additional
$7 million. The accrued insurance liabilities included in
the consolidated balance sheets include estimates of the
ultimate costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but
not reported. The recorded liabilities for professional and
general liability risks are estimated based on historical
claims, demographic factors, industry trends, severity factors,
and other actuarial assumptions calculated by an independent
third-party actuary. The estimated liability for professional
and general liability claims could be significantly affected
should current and future occurrences differ from historical
claim trends and expectations

ACADIA
INTERESTED TRANSACTIONS
Professional
Services Agreement
Acadia and Waud Capital Partners are parties to a professional
services agreement dated April 1, 2011, pursuant to which
Waud Capital Partners renders general advisory and management
services with respect to financial and operating matters,
including advice on corporate strategy, budgeting of future
corporate investment, acquisition and divestiture strategy and
debt and equity financing. The parties entered into the
professional services agreement in connection with entering into
the second amended and restated limited liability company
agreement of Acadia Holdings on April 1, 2011 (the
Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement), which amended and
restated Acadia Holdings prior limited liability company
agreement dated August 31, 2009 (the Prior LLC
Agreement).
Pursuant to the professional services agreement, Acadia is
obligated to pay the following fees to Waud Capital Partners:
(i) upon consummation of any credit facility (including any
amendments to existing credit faculties which have the effect of
increasing the committed amount under such facility, but
excluding any credit facility entered into after April 1,
2011 with any affiliate of Waud Capital Partners if such
affiliate is receiving a closing or similar fee in connection
with such facility), financing fees in cash in an aggregate
amount to equal 1.5% of the aggregate principal amount of all
such loans (or 1.0% of the aggregate amount of all public bond
issuances); (ii) advisory fees in connection with the
negotiation and consummation of any acquisitions
and/or
dispositions by Acadia or any of its subsidiaries in an
aggregate amount equal to 2.0% of the gross purchase price of
any such acquisition or disposition (including any debt or other
liabilities assumed or otherwise included in the
transaction(s)), as compensation for the negotiation, arranging
and structuring services Waud Capital Partners has agreed to
provide Acadia with respect thereto; and (iii) upon
consummation of Sale of Acadia (as defined below), a sale fee in
cash in an amount equal to 1.5% of the enterprise value assigned
to Acadia Holdings and its subsidiaries in connection with or
implied by such Sale of Acadia, as compensation for the
negotiation, structuring and other services Waud Capital
Partners has agreed to provide Acadia with respect to Sale of
Acadia.
Waud Capital Partners currently charges Acadia a management fee
for ongoing advisory and management services of
$2.0 million per year. The fee for the period from and
including April 1, 2011 to and including June 30, 2011
was paid on April 1, 2011. Thereafter, the advisory fee is
payable on July 1st and January 1st of each
year in advance. Effective January 1, 2012 and each
January 1st thereafter, such advisory fee shall be
increased to an amount equal to the greater of (i) 5.0% of
Acadias EBITDA (as defined below) for the immediately
preceding year (as determined by the Acadia board of directors
in good faith) and (ii) 110% of the prior years
advisory fee. For purposes of the professional services
agreement, EBITDA means, for any period, the result
of (i) the consolidated net income (or loss) of Acadia
Holdings and its subsidiaries for such period, plus (ii) to
the extent deducted in any such period in determining such net
income or loss: (A) all federal, state and local taxes,
(B) interest expense, (C) amortization and
depreciation expense, and (D) extraordinary losses, minus
(iii) to the extent included in any such period in
determining net income or loss, extraordinary gains, in each
case determined in accordance with GAAP.
The professional services agreement also provides that Waud
Capital Partners will be reimbursed for their reasonable travel
expenses, legal fees and other
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses in connection with activities undertaken
pursuant to such agreement. Additionally, Waud Capital Partners
and its affiliates (other than Acadia
140
and its subsidiaries) shall be indemnified for liabilities
incurred in connection with their role under the professional
services agreement, other than for liabilities resulting from
their gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.
In connection with entry into the professional services
agreement, the amendment and restatement of the Prior LLC
Agreement and the consummation of Acadias acquisition of
YFCS, Waud Capital Partners received $6.15 million in fees
from Acadia on April 1, 2011, which consisted of a
$3.6 million transaction fee, a $450,000 commitment fee and
a $2.1 million financing fee.
Waud Capital Partners and Acadia will terminate the professional
services agreement in connection with consummation of the merger
and upon payment of $20,559,000 in aggregate transaction fees to
Waud Capital Partners pursuant to the terms of the related
termination agreement. Under the merger agreement, $15,559,000
of such transaction fees will be subtracted from the
$90.0 million dividend to be made by Acadia to holders of
Acadia capital stock immediately prior to consummation of the
merger.
Prior to entry into the professional services agreement, Waud
Capital Partners was entitled to receive the following fees from
Acadia Holdings pursuant to the Prior LLC Agreement: (i) an
annual advisory fee, payable on a semi-annual basis, as
compensation for the financial and management consulting
services Waud Capital Partners had agreed to provide Acadia
Holdings and its subsidiaries with respect to their business and
financial management generally and its financial affairs; and
(ii) upon consummation of any credit facility (including
amendments to existing credit facilities which have the effect
of increasing the amount to be drawn under such facility by
Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries, but excluding any credit
facility entered into after December 30, 2005 with any
affiliate of Waud Capital Partners if such affiliate is
receiving a closing or similar fee in connection with such
facility) entered into by Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries
after December 30, 2005, financing fees in an aggregate
amount to equal 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all
such loans (or 1.0% of the aggregate amount of all public bond
issuances), as compensation for the negotiation, arranging and
structuring services Waud Capital Partners had agreed to provide
to Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries. Waud Capital Partners
was also entitled to receive an annual advisory fee, payable
semi-annually, under the Prior LLC Agreement (and its
predecessor). Such fee was initially set at $350,000 per annum,
subject to annual increases of $50,000, up to $600,000,
effective January 1st of each year beginning
January 1, 2007. Waud Capital Partners deferred the payment
of all such management fees in accordance with the terms of the
Prior LLC Agreement.
On April 1, 2011 in connection with entry into the Acadia
Holdings LLC Agreement, Waud Capital Partners received
approximately $7.9 million of Acadia Holdings equity in
exchange for fees it had previously deferred in accordance with
the Prior LLC Agreement.
True
Partners Engagement Agreement
Acadia and True Partners Consulting LLC (True
Partners), an affiliate of Waud Capital Partners, are
parties to an engagement agreement dated January 7, 2011,
pursuant to which True Partners renders tax consulting and
compliance services to Acadia and its affiliated entities. As of
July 1, 2011, Waud Capital Partners and its affiliates
indirectly own a majority of the True Partners membership
interests. The engagement agreement will automatically terminate
upon the completion of the services to be rendered by True
Partners thereunder. Either party may terminate the engagement
agreement upon at least 30 days prior written notice
to the other party. Upon such termination, True Partners shall
be entitled to receive payment for services performed and
expenses incurred through the date of termination. Pursuant to
the engagement agreement, Acadia pays certain fixed fees to True
Partners for various tax consulting and compliance services,
which are billed monthly as incurred. Acadia paid $73,200,
$116,365 and $62,065 to True Partners for such services in 2008,
2009 and 2010, respectively. In the event of a large transaction
or other activity not otherwise covered under the engagement
agreement for which True Partners provide services to Acadia,
True Partners will provide consulting services to Acadia at its
standard hourly rates, plus reimbursement of
out-of-pocket
expenses.
Acadia
Holdings LLC Agreement
The Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement grants certain rights to the
affiliates of Waud Capital Partners that are designated as the
WCP Investors in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement
(the WCP Holdings Investors). For so long as any WCP
Holdings Investor holds any Class A Units of Acadia
Holdings, the WCP Holdings Investors
141
holding a majority of the Class A Units then held by all
WCP Investors constitute the Majority WCP Holdings
Investors under the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement. If no
WCP Holdings Investor holds any Class A Units of Acadia
Holdings, the Majority WCP Holdings Investors (for
purpose of the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement) shall be the WCP
Holdings Investors holding a majority of the Class B,
Class C and Class D Units of Acadia Holdings held by
all WCP Holdings Investors.
The board of managers of Acadia Holdings currently consists of
five (5) managers, four of which are designated by the
Majority WCP Holdings Investors (the WCP Managers).
Except as provided in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement and for
cases in which the approval of the Acadia Holdings members is
expressly provided by the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement or by
non-waivable provisions of applicable law, the powers of Acadia
Holders are exercised by or under the authority of, and the
business and affairs of Acadia Holdings are managed, under the
direction of its board of managers. Under the terms of the
Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement, each of WCP FIF III, Waud QP II,
Waud QP III and WCP III is able to designate one WCP Manager;
provided, that Reeve Waud is entitled to serve as one of the WCP
Managers at all times. Unless otherwise specified in the Acadia
Holdings LLC Agreement or required by applicable law, any
determination or action required to be taken by the board of
managers shall be taken by a majority of the voting power of the
managers then in office; provided that each WCP Manager is
entitled to a number of votes on all matters coming before the
board of managers in an amount equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (i) the number of WCP Managers which the WCP
Holdings Investors are entitled to appoint under the Acadia
Holdings LLC Agreement by (ii) the number of WCP Managers
then serving on the board of managers.
The Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement grants certain drag along
rights to the WCP Holdings Investors in connection with any of
the following transactions (each a Sale of Acadia):
(i) the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition, in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of
Acadia; or (ii) a transaction (including by way of merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization or sale of
stock) the result of which the unitholders of Acadia Holdings
immediately prior to such transaction are, after giving effect
to such transaction, no longer in the aggregate beneficial
owners (as such term is defined in
Rules 13d-3
and 13d-5
promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, of more than 50% of the
voting power of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia
Holdings. If the Majority WCP Holdings Investors approve a Sale
of Acadia (an Approved Sale), each unitholder of
Acadia Holdings and each person that retains voting control over
any transferred units is obligated to, subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, vote for, consent to and
raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved
Sale is structured as (A) a merger or consolidation, each
unitholder is obligated to waive any dissenters rights,
appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such
merger or consolidation or (B) a sale of units, each holder
is obligated to take all necessary or desirable actions in
connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as
requested by Acadia Holdings board of managers (with the
approval of the Majority WCP Holdings Investors) or the Majority
WCP Holdings Investors. Furthermore, each Acadia Holdings
unitholder shall take all necessary or desirable actions in
connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as
requested Acadia Holdings board of managers (with the
approval of the Majority WCP Holdings Investors) or the Majority
WCP Holdings Investors. The Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement also
provides that each unitholder is obligated to vote for, consent
to (to the extent it has any voting or consent right) and raise
no objections against an initial public offering of Acadia
Holdings or any of its subsidiaries approved by Acadia
Holdings board of managers.
The Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement requires that each
Management Investor named therein bring, and cause
each of its affiliates to bring, all investment or business
opportunities to Acadia Holdings of which any of them become
aware and which are within the scope and investment objectives
of Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement excludes holders of
Class A Units and Class B Units held by the WCP
Holdings Investors and their affiliates from all such
restrictions, subject only to confidentiality restrictions
contained in such agreement.
Except as provided in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement
(including with respect to matters that must be approved by a
majority of the Management Investors), such agreement may
amended, modified, or waived in any respect with the written
consent of the Majority WCP Holdings Investors. The Majority WCP
Holdings Investors, by resolution, may also elect to dissolve
Acadia Holdings.
142
Registration
Rights Agreement
Acadia Holdings entered into an amended and restated
registration rights agreement with the holders of substantially
all of its equity securities pursuant to which such holders have
the right to demand the registration of all or a portion of
their securities and have certain piggy back registration
rights, subject to certain limitations. Waud Capital Partners
and the other members of Acadia Holdings intend to cause the
dissolution of Acadia Holdings prior to the consummation of the
merger and to distribute the Acadia common stock held by Acadia
Holdings to its members. In connection with such dissolution and
distribution, Acadia will assume Acadia Holdings rights
and obligations under the amended and restated registration
rights agreement. The right to sell shares of common stock
pursuant to the amended and restated registration rights
agreement will be made subject to a
lock-up
agreement between those stockholders with registration rights
and Acadias underwriters in connection with Acadias
initial public offering which, unless waived, will prevent such
holders from exercising this right until 180 days after the
date of the prospectus associated with such initial public
offering.
Affiliate
Transactions
In August 2009, January 2010 and January 2011, Acadia Holdings
entered into management agreements, manager unit agreements,
executive purchase agreements
and/or
executive unit agreements with certain executives and managers
pursuant to which such executives or managers purchased or
otherwise were issued units of Acadia Holdings. See Acadia
Management After the Merger Compensation Discussion
and Analysis Elements of Compensation
Equity Purchase Agreements for a more detailed description
of these agreements.
In connection with the purchase of Class A Common Units and
Class A Preferred Units of Acadia Holdings by
Messrs. Carpenter, Carter, Dodd and Swinson and
Ms. Karen Prince in January 2010, each named executive
issued a promissory note to Acadia Holdings to satisfy its
obligations to make a capital contribution to Acadia Holdings in
accordance with the terms of the related management agreement.
Each of Messrs. Carpenter, Carter, Dodd and Swinson and
Ms. Prince issued a promissory note to Acadia Holdings on
January 4, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of
$65,000, $120,000, $42,000, $42,000 and $96,000, respectively.
Interest on each promissory note accrues at the lesser of 8.00%
per annum and the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
Default interest on each promissory note accrues at a rate per
annum equal to the base rate (determined in accordance with the
prior sentence) plus 3.00%. Amounts due under each promissory
note are secured by certain Acadia Holdings units owned by the
related executive as set forth in such promissory note and the
related pledge agreement.
Each executive is obligated to pay all accrued and unpaid
interest on
his/her
promissory note on the last day of each March, June, September
and December. Each executive is required to repay amounts
borrowed under
his/her
promissory note in three equal installments on each
April 30th. The first two scheduled principal payments
under each promissory note were made on April 30, 2010 and
April 30, 2011, respectively. Each of
Messrs. Carpenter, Carter, Dodd and Swinson and
Ms. Prince repaid his or her promissory note in full on
July 7, 2011 and the related pledge agreement was
terminated effective as of such date.
Procedure
for Approval of Transactions with Related Parties
Acadia does not have a formal written related-party approval
policy for transactions to be disclosed pursuant to
Item 404(a) of
Regulation S-K.
We expect that the Acadia board of directors will adopt such a
policy prior to the completion of the merger.

PHC
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Introduction
PHC is a national healthcare company, which, through
wholly-owned subsidiaries, provides psychiatric services to
individuals who have behavioral health disorders including
alcohol and drug dependency and to individuals in the gaming and
transportation industries. PHCs subsidiaries operate
substance abuse treatment facilities in Michigan, Utah and
Virginia, four outpatient psychiatric facilities in Michigan,
three outpatient psychiatric facilities in Nevada, one
outpatient psychiatric facility in Pennsylvania and two
psychiatric hospitals, one in Michigan and one in Nevada and a
residential treatment facility in Michigan. PHC provides
management, administrative and help line services through
contracts with major railroads and a call center contract with
Wayne County, Michigan. PHC also operates a website,
Wellplace.com, which provides education and training for the
behavioral health professional and internet support services to
all of PHCs subsidiaries. In fiscal 2009, PHC sold the
assets of its pharmaceutical research company and is no longer
providing research services.
PHC provides behavioral health services through inpatient and
outpatient facilities. PHCs substance abuse facilities
provide specialized treatment services to patients who typically
have poor recovery prognoses and who are prone to relapse. These
services are offered in small specialty care facilities, which
permit PHC to provide its clients with efficient and customized
treatment without the significant costs associated with the
management and operation of general acute care hospitals. PHC
tailors these programs and services to
safety-sensitive industries and concentrate its
marketing efforts on the transportation, oil and gas
exploration, heavy equipment, manufacturing, law enforcement,
gaming and health services industries. PHCs psychiatric
facilities provide inpatient psychiatric care, intensive
outpatient treatment and partial hospitalization programs to
children, adolescents and adults. PHCs outpatient mental
health clinics provide services to employees of major employers,
as well as to managed care companies and Medicare and Medicaid
clients. The psychiatric services are offered in a larger, more
traditional setting than PHCs substance abuse facilities,
enabling PHC to take advantage of economies of scale to provide
cost-effective treatment alternatives.
PHC treats employees who have been referred for treatment as a
result of compliance with Subchapter D of the Anti-Drug Abuse
Act of 1988 (commonly known as the Drug Free Workplace Act),
which requires employers who are Federal contractors or Federal
grant recipients to establish drug-free awareness programs
which, among other things, inform employees about available drug
counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs. PHC
also provides treatment under the Department of Transportation
implemented regulations, which broaden the coverage and scope of
alcohol and drug testing for employees in
safety-sensitive positions in the transportation
industry.
PHC was incorporated in 1976 and is a Massachusetts corporation.
PHCs corporate offices are located at 200 Lake Street,
Suite 102, Peabody, MA 01960 and PHCs telephone
number is
(978) 536-2777.
Psychiatric
Services Industry
Substance
Abuse Facilities
Industry
Background
The demand for substance abuse treatment services has increased
rapidly over the last decade. PHC believes that the increased
demand is related to clinical advances in the treatment of
substance abuse, greater societal willingness to acknowledge the
underlying problems as treatable illnesses, improved health
insurance coverage for addictive disorders and chemical
dependencies and governmental regulation which requires certain
employers to provide information to employees about drug
counseling and employee assistance programs.
To contain costs associated with behavioral health issues in the
1980s, many private payors instituted managed care programs for
reimbursement, which included pre-admission certification, case
management or utilization review and limits on financial
coverage or length of stay. These cost containment measures have
encouraged outpatient care for behavioral problems, resulting in
a shortening of the length of stay and revenue per day in
inpatient chemical abuse facilities. PHC believes that it has
addressed these cost containment measures by specializing in
treating relapse-prone patients with poor prognoses who have
failed in other treatment settings.
144
These patients require longer lengths of stay and come from a
wide geographic area. PHC continues to develop alternatives to
inpatient care including residential programs, partial day and
evening programs in addition to onsite and offsite outpatient
programs.
PHC believes that because of the apparent unmet need for certain
clinical and medical services, and its continued expansion into
various modalities of care for the chemically dependant, that
its strategy has been successful despite national trends towards
shorter inpatient stays and rigorous scrutiny by managed care
organizations.
PHC
Operations
PHC has been able to secure insurance reimbursement for
longer-term inpatient treatment as a result of its success with
poor prognosis patients. PHCs two substance abuse
facilities work together to refer patients to the center that
best meets the patients clinical and medical needs. Each
facility caters to a slightly different patient population
including high-risk, relapse-prone chronic alcoholics, drug
addicts and dual diagnosis patients (those suffering from both
substance abuse and psychiatric disorders). The programs are
sensitive to the special behavioral health problems of children,
women and Native Americans. PHC concentrates on providing
services to insurers, managed care networks and health
maintenance organizations for both adults and adolescents.
PHCs clinicians often work directly with managers of
employee assistance programs to select the best treatment
facility possible for their clients.
Each of PHCs facilities operates a case management program
for each patient including a clinical and financial evaluation
of a patients circumstances to determine the most
cost-effective modality of care from among detoxification,
inpatient, residential, day care, specialized relapse treatment,
outpatient treatment, and others. In addition to any care
provided at one of PHCs facilities, the case management
program for each patient includes aftercare. Aftercare may be
provided through the outpatient services provided by a facility.
Alternatively, PHC may arrange for outpatient aftercare, as well
as family and mental health services, through its numerous
affiliations with clinicians located across the country once the
patient is discharged.
In general, PHC does not accept patients who do not have either
insurance coverage or adequate financial resources to pay for
treatment. Each of PHCs substance abuse facilities does,
however, provide treatment free of charge to a small number of
patients each year who are unable to pay for treatment but who
meet certain clinical criteria and who are believed by PHC to
have the requisite degree of motivation for treatment to be
successful. In addition, PHC provides
follow-up
treatment free of charge to relapse patients who satisfy certain
criteria. The number of patient days attributable to all
patients who receive treatment free of charge in any given
fiscal year is less than 5% of the total patient days.
PHC believes that it has benefited from an increased awareness
of the need to make substance abuse treatment services
accessible to the nations workforce. For example, The Drug
Free Workplace Act of 1988 requires employers who are Federal
contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug free
awareness programs to inform employees about available drug
counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs and
the consequences of drug abuse violations. In response to the
Drug Free Workplace Act, many companies, including many major
national corporations and transportation companies, have adopted
policies that provide for treatment options as an alternative to
termination of employment.
Although PHC does not directly provide federally approved
mandated drug testing, PHC treats employees who have been
referred to PHC as a result of compliance with the Drug Free
Workplace Act, particularly from companies that are part of the
gaming industry as well as safety-sensitive
industries such as railroads, airlines, trucking firms, oil and
gas exploration companies, heavy equipment companies,
manufacturing companies and health services.
HIGHLAND RIDGE Highland Ridge is a 41-bed,
freestanding alcohol and drug treatment hospital, which PHC has
been operating since 1984. The hospital increased its bed
capacity to 41 from 32 in November 2003 and expanded medical
staff to include psychiatric care in its treatment plans. Its
focus remains substance abuse and it is the oldest facility
dedicated to substance abuse in Utah. Highland Ridge is
accredited by The Joint Commission on
145
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (The Joint
Commission) and is licensed by the Utah Department of
Health. Highland Ridge is recognized nationally for its
excellence in treating substance abuse disorders.
Although Highland Ridge does provide services to individuals
from all of the States through contracts with the railroads and
other major employers, most patients at this facility are from
Utah and surrounding states. Individuals typically access
Highland Ridges services through professional referrals,
family members, employers, employee assistance programs or
contracts between PHC and health maintenance organizations
located in Utah.
Highland Ridge was the first private for-profit hospital to
address specifically the special needs of chemically dependent
women in Salt Lake County. In addition, Highland Ridge has
contracted with Salt Lake County to provide medical
detoxification services targeted to women. The hospital also
operates a specialized continuing care support group to address
the unique needs of women and minorities.
A pre-admission evaluation, which involves an evaluation of
psychological, cognitive and situational factors, is completed
for each prospective patient. In addition, each prospective
patient is given a physical examination upon admission.
Diagnostic tools, including those developed by the American
Psychological Association, the American Society of Addiction
Medicine and the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory are
used to develop an individualized treatment plan for each
client. The treatment regimen involves an interdisciplinary team
which integrates the twelve-step principles of self-help
organizations, medical detoxification, individual and group
counseling, family therapy, psychological assessment,
psychiatric support, stress management, dietary planning,
vocational counseling and pastoral support. Highland Ridge also
offers extensive aftercare assistance at programs strategically
located in areas of client concentration throughout the United
States. Highland Ridge maintains a comprehensive array of
professional affiliations to meet the needs of discharged
patients and other individuals not admitted to the hospital for
treatment.
Highland Ridge periodically conducts or participates in research
projects. Highland Ridge was the site of a research project
conducted by the University of Utah Medical School. The research
explored the relationship between individual motivation and
treatment outcomes. The research was regulated and reviewed by
the Human Subjects Review Board of the University of Utah and
was subject to federal standards that delineated the nature and
scope of research involving human subjects. Highland Ridge
benefited from this research by expanding its professional
relationships within the medical school community and by
applying the findings of the research to improve the quality of
services PHC delivers.
MOUNT REGIS Mount Regis is a 25-bed,
freestanding alcohol and drug treatment center located in Salem,
Virginia, near Roanoke. PHC acquired the center in 1987. It is
the oldest of its kind in the Roanoke Valley. Mount Regis is
accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by the Virginia
Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
Mount Regis also operates Right Track, which is a residential
program designed to provide individuals with the tools they need
to make a smooth transition from inpatient treatment back into
their everyday routine. In addition, Mount Regis operates
Changes, an outpatient clinic, at its Salem, Virginia location.
The Changes clinic provides structured intensive outpatient
treatment for patients who have been discharged from Mount Regis
and for patients who do not need the formal structure of a
residential treatment program. The program is licensed by the
Commonwealth of Virginia and approved for reimbursement by major
insurance carriers.
Similar to Highland Ridge, the programs at Mount Regis Center
are sensitive to the needs of women and minorities. The majority
of Mount Regis clients are from Virginia and surrounding states.
In addition, because of its relatively close proximity and
accessibility to New York, Mount Regis has been able to attract
an increasing number of referrals from New York-based labor
unions. Mount Regis has also been able to attract a growing
number of clients through the Internet. Mount Regis has
established programs that allow PHC to better treat dual
diagnosis patients (those suffering from both substance abuse
and psychiatric disorders), cocaine addiction and relapse-prone
patients. The multi-disciplinary case management, aftercare and
family programs are key factors to the prevention of relapse.
RENAISSANCE RECOVERY Renaissance Recovery is
a 24-bed alcohol and drug treatment facility located in Detroit,
Michigan which opened in April 2011. Renaissance Recovery treats
boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 17, in need of
behavioral health treatment due to chemical impairment.
146
The program incorporates a co-occurring based assessment model
to identify and treat both substance abuse and mental health
disorders, combining substance abuse therapy, educational
services, medication therapy, group therapy and peer support and
family counseling (parent(s), guardians and extended family and
care givers). Techniques to recognize and manage internal
emotional triggers that lead to substance or
psychiatric relapse are taught as a feature of the therapy each
child receives, individually and within a group.
Multi-disciplinary teams of licensed, certified and boarded
professional staff utilize an eclectic therapy approach which
includes cognitive behavioral therapy.
The resident program is case dependent, and length of stay may
be from a period of minimally 5 7 days or up to
a full program of thirty days or more as warranted. Step down
from this program is continued through other Pioneer facilities
for in-patient or out-patient treatment as appropriate to the
treatment plan developed upon discharging.
The program accepts most insurance plans and is licensed by the
State of Michigan as a Substance Abuse provider and as a Child
Caring Institution and accredited by the Council on
Accreditation.
General
Psychiatric Facilities
PHC believes that its proven ability to provide high quality,
cost-effective care in the treatment of substance abuse has
enabled it to grow in the related behavioral health field of
psychiatric treatment. PHCs main advantage is its ability
to provide an integrated delivery system of inpatient and
outpatient care. As a result of integration, PHC is better able
to manage and track patients.
PHC offers inpatient and partial hospitalization and psychiatric
services. PHC provides inpatient psychiatric services through
Seven Hills Hospital located in Las Vegas, Nevada and MeadowWood
located in New Castle, Delaware and residential treatment to
adjudicated juveniles through Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc.
located in Detroit Michigan. In addition, PHC currently operates
seven outpatient psychiatric facilities.
PHCs philosophy at these facilities is to provide the most
appropriate and efficacious care with the least restrictive
modality of care possible. An attending physician, a case
manager and a clinical team work together to manage the care
plan. The integrated delivery system allows for better patient
tracking and
follow-up
and fewer repeat procedures and therapeutic or diagnostic
errors. Qualified, dedicated staff members take a full history
on each new patient, and through test and evaluation procedures,
they provide a thorough diagnostic
write-up of
the patients condition. In addition, a physician does a
complete physical examination for each new patient. This
information allows the caregivers to determine which treatment
alternative is best suited for the patient and to design an
individualized recovery program for the patient.
Managed health care organizations, state agencies, physicians
and patients themselves refer patients to PHCs facilities.
These facilities have a patient population ranging from children
as young as five years of age to senior citizens. Compared to
the substance abuse facilities, the psychiatric facilities treat
a larger percentage of female patients.
HARBOR OAKS PHC acquired Harbor Oaks
Hospital, a 71-bed psychiatric hospital located in New
Baltimore, Michigan, approximately 20 miles northeast of
Detroit, in September 1994. Harbor Oaks Hospital is licensed by
the Michigan Department of Community Health, Medicare certified
and accredited by The Joint Commission. Harbor Oaks provides
inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization and
outpatient treatment to children, adolescents and adults. Harbor
Oaks Hospital has treated clients from Macomb, Oakland and St.
Clair counties and has expanded its coverage area to include
Wayne, Sanilac and Livingston counties.
Harbor Oaks has become a primary provider for Medicaid patients
from Wayne, Macomb and St. Clair counties. Utilization of a
short-term crisis management model in conjunction with strong
case management has allowed Harbor Oaks to successfully enter
this segment of the market. Reimbursement for these services is
comparable to traditional managed care payors. Given the current
climate of public sector treatment availability, Harbor Oaks
anticipates continued growth in this sector of the business.
Until June 2009, Harbor Oaks Hospital also operated a 26-bed
residential unit serving adolescents with substance abuse
problems and co-existing mental disorders, who were referred or
required to undergo psychiatric
147
treatment by a court or family service agency. In May 2009, PHC
discontinued admissions and closed this unit in June 2009, to
utilize the space occupied by the program for a much needed
specialty unit for the treatment of chemical dependency which
was opened in September 2009. Harbor Oaks also operates an
outpatient site near New Baltimore, Michigan. Its close
proximity to the hospital allows for a continuum of care for
patients after discharge.
DETROIT BEHAVIORAL INSTITUTE Detroit
Behavioral Institute operates a 66-bed residential treatment
facility licensed as Capstone Academy. It is located in midtown
Detroit and serves adjudicated adolescents diagnosed as
seriously emotionally disturbed. These adolescents are placed in
Capstone Academy by court order.
Prior to January of 2009, this program was operated in a setting
on the campus of the Detroit Medical Center, and was licensed
for fifty residents (30 boys/20 girls). In early 2009, all
residents were moved to the Capstone Academy. Pursuant to
licensing guidelines and the review and approval of sound and
therapeutic programming, the State of Michigan Department of
Human Services allowed PHC to increase the number of beds by 16.
This became effective in June 2009.
In its present configuration, the facility includes twelve
designated beds for a special program for girls requiring a more
intensive and comprehensive treatment model, while the remaining
fifty-four beds, which can be allocated for either boys or girls
as referrals dictate, offer a more traditional treatment model.
In all programs, however, intensive treatment models address and
treat residents as appropriate to their needs with individual,
group and family counseling.
The residents in the programs range from 12 to 17 years of
age, with a minimum IQ of 70. Each program provides individual,
group and family therapy sessions for medication orientation,
anger management, impulse control, grief and loss, family
interactions, coping skills, stress management, substance abuse,
discharge and aftercare planning (home visits and community
reintegration), recreation therapy and sexual/physical abuse
counseling as required.
As a part of the treatment model, each resident learns life
skills (didactics) and receives education, in accordance with
Michigans required educational curriculum, from state
certified teachers, who are members of PHCs staff.
Typically, a resident is placed for treatment for an initial
period of 30 days to six months, case dependent.
Periodic case review and psychiatric evaluations are conducted
to evaluate progress or areas requiring improvement in
accordance with goals and planning for discharge and eventual
transition back to the community. The treatment teams that
provide therapy and review each resident for progress include
licensed counselors, nursing staff, certified teachers,
psychiatrists, youth specialists and other program personnel.
PHC is approved by the local school district, in accordance with
state law to operate as a school under its auspices, for the
education of program residents. Consequently, when residents
transition back to the community they do so without losing
school credits. Transcripts, testing scores and related items
are readily accepted by the new education environment. PHC has
successfully fulfilled this obligation for four years, with
improved success. This allows PHCs programs to integrate
the residents education with their individual treatment
model and provide the best education possible without
transporting the individuals to another site.
SEVEN HILLS HOSPITAL PHC participated in the
construction of the Seven Hills Hospital through its
relationship with Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC. The
construction was completed and the facility was opened in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Seven Hills Hospital, a 55-bed
psychiatric hospital located in Las Vegas, Nevada, began
admitting patients on May 14, 2008. Seven Hills Hospital is
licensed by the State of Nevada, accredited by The Joint
Commission and received Medicare certification in July 2010.
Seven Hills provides services to clients covered under the
at risk contracts of PHCs other subsidiary,
Harmony Healthcare. Seven Hills has provided inpatient
psychiatric care to adults since its opening in 2008 and began
providing psychiatric care to adolescents in the third quarter
of this fiscal year. Its treatment programs were expanded in
fiscal 2009 to include detoxification and residential treatment
of chemical dependency.
HARMONY HEALTHCARE Harmony Healthcare, which
consists of three psychiatric clinics in Nevada, provides
outpatient psychiatric care to children, adolescents and adults
in the local area. Harmony also operates employee assistance
programs for railroads, health care companies and several large
gaming companies including
148
Boyd Gaming Corporation, the MGM Grand and the Venetian with a
rapid response program to provide immediate assistance
24 hours a day and seven days a week. Harmony also provides
outpatient psychiatric care and inpatient psychiatric case
management through capitated rate behavioral health carve-outs
with Behavioral Health Options and PacifiCare Insurance. The
agreement with Behavioral Health Options is a significant
contract which began in January 2007 and caused a major
expansion of Harmony to better serve the contract population.
NORTH POINT-PIONEER, INC. North Point
consists of three outpatient clinical offices strategically and
geographically located to serve a large and populous region in
Michigan. The clinics provide outpatient psychiatric and
substance abuse treatment to children, adolescents and adults
operating under the name Pioneer Counseling Center. The three
clinics are located in close proximity to the Harbor Oaks
facility, which allows for more efficient integration of
inpatient and outpatient services and provides for a larger
coverage area and the ability to share personnel which results
in cost savings. Since 2005, North Point has provided services
under a contract with Macomb County Office of Substance Abuse to
provide behavioral health outpatient and intensive outpatient
services for indigent and Medicaid clients residing in Macomb
County. The contract is renewable annually with an estimated
value of $55,000.
MEADOWWOOD BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. MeadowWood,
located in New Castle, Delaware, was acquired by PHC on
July 1, 2011. The facility is a acute care psychiatric
hospital with 58 beds providing services to adults suffering
with mental illness and substance abuse. MeadowWood is licensed
by the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services,
Medicare certified and accredited by The Joint Commission.
MeadowWood has both inpatient and partial hospitalization
services focused on geriatric, co-occurring and acute mental
disorders. MeadowWood anticipates seeking approval for
additional beds to expand the facility during the next
12 months. The acquisition was made in connection with the
divestiture requirements imposed on Universal Health Services
following its acquisition of PSI.
Call
Center Operations
WELLPLACE, INC. In 1994, PHC began to operate
a crisis hotline service under contract with a major
transportation client. The hotline, Wellplace, shown as contract
support services on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations, is a national,
24-hour
telephone service, which supplements the services provided by
the clients Employee Assistance Programs. The services
provided include information, crisis intervention, critical
incidents coordination, employee counselor support, client
monitoring, case management and health promotion. The hotline is
staffed by counselors who refer callers to the appropriate
professional resources for assistance with personal problems.
Three major transportation companies subscribed to these
services as of March 31, 2011. This operation is physically
located in Highland Ridge hospital, but a staff dedicated to
Wellplace provides the services from a separate designated area
of the Hospital. Wellplace also contracts with Wayne County
Michigan to operate its call center. This call center is located
in mid-town Detroit on the campus of the Detroit Medical Center
and provides
24-hour
crisis, eligibility and enrollment services for the
Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency which
oversees 56,000 lives or consumers for mental health services in
Wayne County Michigan. Until December 2008, Wellplace also
operated a smaller contract to provide services for
transportation and identification reimbursement for consumers.
During fiscal 2006, Wellplace signed an agreement with a major
government contractor to operate a smoking cessation quit line
with Internet access. Wellplace provided services under the
agreement until September 2008. Wellplaces primary focus
is now on growing its operations to take advantage of current
opportunities and capitalize on the economies of scale in
providing similar services to other companies and government
units.
Research
Operations
PIVOTAL RESEARCH CENTERS, INC. In February
2009, PHC sold the assets of its research division to Premier
Research International, LLC, (Premier), a Delaware
limited liability company. The results of operations for the
pharmaceutical operations through February 2009 are shown on the
PHC audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements,
included elsewhere in this proxy/prospectus, as discontinued
operations.

Marketing
and Customers
PHC markets its substance abuse, inpatient and outpatient
psychiatric health services both locally and nationally,
primarily to safety-sensitive industries, including
transportation, manufacturing and healthcare services.
Additionally, PHC markets its services in the gaming industry
both in Nevada and nationally and its help line services
nationally.
150
PHC employs four individuals dedicated to marketing PHC s
facilities. Each facility performs marketing activities in its
local region. The Senior Vice President of PHC coordinates
PHCs national marketing efforts. In addition, employees at
certain facilities perform local marketing activities
independent of the Senior Vice President. PHC, with the support
of its owned integrated outpatient systems and management
services, continues to pursue more at-risk contracts and
outpatient, managed health care
fee-for-service
contracts. At-risk contracts require that PHC
provides all the clinically necessary behavioral health services
for a group of people for a set fee per person per month. PHC
currently has two at-risk contracts with large insurance
carriers, which require PHC to provide behavioral health
services to a large number of its insured for a fixed fee. These
at-risk contracts represent less than 15% of PHCs total
gross revenues. In addition to providing excellent services and
treatment outcomes, PHC will continue to negotiate pricing
policies to attract patients for long-term intensive treatment
which meet length of stay and clinical requirements established
by insurers, managed health care organizations and PHCs
internal professional standards.
PHCs integrated systems of comprehensive outpatient mental
health programs complement PHCs inpatient facilities.
These outpatient programs are strategically located in Nevada,
Virginia, Michigan, and Utah. They make it possible for PHC to
offer wholly integrated, comprehensive, mental health services
for corporations and managed care organizations on an at-risk or
exclusive
fee-for-service
basis. Additionally, PHC operates Wellplace located in the
Highland Ridge facility in Salt Lake City, Utah and in Detroit,
Michigan. Wellplace provides clinical support, referrals,
management and professional services for a number of PHCs
national contracts. It gives PHC the capacity to provide a
complete range of fully integrated mental health services.
PHC provides services to employees of a variety of corporations
including: Boyd Gaming Corporation, CSX Corporation, MGM Mirage,
Union Pacific Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad Hospital
Association and others.
In addition to its direct patient care services, PHC maintains
its web site, Wellplace.com, which provides articles and
information of interest to the general public as well as the
behavioral health professional. PHCs internet company also
provides the added benefit of web availability of information
for various Employee Assistance Program contracts held and
serviced by those subsidiaries providing direct treatment
services.
Competition
PHCs substance abuse programs compete nationally with
other health care providers, including general and chronic care
hospitals, both non-profit and for-profit, other substance abuse
facilities and short-term detoxification centers. Some
competitors have substantially greater financial resources than
PHC. PHC believes, however, that it can compete successfully
with such institutions because of its success in treating poor
prognosis patients. PHC will compete through its focus on such
patients, its willingness to negotiate appropriate rates and its
capacity to build and service corporate relationships.
PHCs psychiatric facilities and programs compete primarily
within the respective geographic area serviced by them. PHC
competes with private doctors, hospital-based clinics,
hospital-based outpatient services and other comparable
facilities. The main reasons that PHC competes well are its
integrated delivery and dual diagnosis programming. Integrated
delivery provides for more efficient
follow-up
procedures and reductions in length of stay. Dual diagnosis
programming provides a niche service for clients with a primary
mental health and a secondary substance abuse diagnosis. PHC
developed its dual diagnosis service in response to demand from
insurers, employers and treatment facilities. PHCs
internet subsidiary provides the competitive edge for service
information and delivery for PHCs direct patient care
programs.
Revenue
Sources and Contracts
PHC has entered into relationships with numerous employers,
labor unions and third-party payors to provide services to their
employees and members for the treatment of substance abuse and
psychiatric disorders. In addition, PHC admits patients who seek
treatment directly without the intervention of third parties and
whose insurance does not cover these conditions in circumstances
where the patient either has adequate financial resources to pay
for treatment directly or is eligible to receive free care at
one of PHCs facilities. PHCs psychiatric patients
either have insurance or pay at least a portion of treatment
costs based on their ability to pay. Most of PHCs patients
are covered by insurance. Free treatment provided each year
amounts to less than 5% of PHCs total patient days.
151
Each contract is negotiated separately, taking into account the
insurance coverage provided to employees and members, and,
depending on such coverage, may provide for differing amounts of
compensation to PHC for different subsets of employees and
members. The charges may be capitated, or fixed with a maximum
charge per patient day, and, in the case of larger clients,
frequently result in a negotiated discount from PHCs
published charges. PHC believes that such discounts are
appropriate as they are effective in producing a larger volume
of patient admissions. PHC treats non-contract patients and
bills them on the basis of PHCs standard per diem rates
and for any additional ancillary services provided to them by
PHC.
With Meditech, the billing software in use by the company, the
charges are contractually adjusted at the time of billing using
adjustment factors based on agreements or contracts with the
insurance carriers and the specific plans held by the
individuals as outlined above. This method may still require
additional adjustment based on ancillary services provided and
deductibles and copays due from the individuals, which are
estimated at the time of admission based on information received
from the individual. Adjustments to these estimates are
recognized as adjustments to revenue in the period they are
identified, usually when payment is received, and are not
material to the financial statements.
PHCs policy is to collect estimated co-payments and
deductibles at the time of admission in the form of an admission
deposit. Payments are made by way of cash, check or credit card.
For inpatient services, if the patient does not have sufficient
resources to pay the estimated co-payment in advance, PHCs
policy is to allow payment to be made in three installments, one
third due upon admission, one third due upon discharge and the
balance due 30 days after discharge. At times, the patient
is not physically or mentally stable enough to comprehend or
agree to any financial arrangement. In this case, PHC will make
arrangements with the patient once his or her condition is
stabilized. At times, this situation will require PHC to extend
payment arrangements beyond the three payment method previously
outlined. Whenever extended payment arrangements are made, the
patient, or the individual who is financially responsible for
the patient, is required to sign a promissory note to PHC, which
includes interest on the balance due. For outpatient services,
PHCs policy is to charge a $5.00 billing/statement fee for
any accounts still outstanding at month end.
PHCs days sales outstanding (DSO) are
significantly different for each type of service and each
facility based on the payors for each service. Overall, the DSO
for the combined operations of PHC was 64 days at
March 31, 2011 and 61 days at June 30, 2010. The
table below shows the DSO by segment for the same periods:

Amounts pending approval from Medicare or Medicaid, as with all
other third party payors, are maintained as receivables based on
the discharge date of the patient, while appeals are made for
payment. If accounts remain unpaid, when all levels of appeal
have been exhausted, accounts are written off. Where possible,
PHC will turn to the patient or the responsible party to seek
reimbursement and send the account to collections before writing
the account off.
Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering
into sole source contracts with healthcare providers, which
could limit PHCs ability to obtain patients. Private
insurers, managed care organizations and, to a lesser extent,
Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific
services, including mental health and substance abuse services,
and establish small, specialized networks of providers for such
services at fixed reimbursement rates. PHC is not aware of any
lost business as a result of sole source contracts to date, as
PHC has not been advised by any payor that PHC has been
eliminated as a provider from their system based on an
exclusivity contract with another provider. Continued growth in
the use of carve-out systems could materially adversely affect
PHCs business to the extent it is not selected to
participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the
reimbursement rate is not adequate to cover the cost of
providing the service.
Quality
Assurance and Utilization Review
PHC has established comprehensive quality assurance programs at
all of its facilities. These programs are designed to ensure
that each facility maintains standards that meet or exceed
requirements imposed upon PHC with
152
the objective of providing high-quality specialized treatment
services to its patients. To this end, the Joint Commission
surveys and accredits PHCs inpatient facilities, except
Detroit Behavioral Institute which is accredited through the
Council on Accreditation (COA). PHCs
outpatient facilities comply with the standards of National
Commission on Quality Assurance (NCQA) although the
facilities are not NCQA certified. PHCs outpatient
facilities in Michigan are certified by the American Osteopathic
Association (AOA), which is a nationally accepted
accrediting body, recognized by payors as the measure of quality
in outpatient treatment and the only accrediting body whose
standards are recognized by CMS. PHCs professional staff,
including physicians, social workers, psychologists, nurses,
dietitians, therapists and counselors, must meet the minimum
requirements of licensure related to their specific discipline,
in addition to each facilitys own internal quality
assurance criteria as adopted by the facility for operational
purposes and approved by the Executive Committee. PHC
participates in the federally mandated National Practitioners
Data Bank, which monitors professional accreditation nationally.
In each facility, continuing quality improvement
(CQI) activity is reviewed quarterly by PHCs
corporate compliance unit and quality assurance activities are
approved by the executive committee.
In response to the increasing reliance of insurers and managed
care organizations upon utilization review methodologies, PHC
has adopted a comprehensive documentation policy to satisfy
relevant reimbursement criteria. Additionally, PHC has developed
an internal case management system, which provides assurance
that services rendered to individual patients are medically
appropriate and reimbursable. Implementation of these internal
policies has been integral to the success of PHCs strategy
of providing services to relapse-prone, higher acuity patients.
Government
Regulation
PHCs business and the development and operation of
PHCs facilities are subject to extensive federal, state
and local government regulation. In recent years, an increasing
number of legislative proposals have been introduced at both the
national and state levels that would affect major reforms of the
health care system if adopted. Among the proposals under
consideration are reforms to increase the availability of group
health insurance, to increase reliance upon managed care, to
bolster competition and to require that all businesses offer
health insurance coverage to their employees. Some states have
already instituted laws that mandate employers offer health
insurance plans to their employees. PHC cannot predict whether
additional legislative proposals will be adopted and, if
adopted, what effect, if any, such proposals would have on
PHCs business.
In addition, both the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject
to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings and
interpretations of policy, intermediary determinations and
governmental funding restrictions, all of which may materially
increase or decrease the rate of program payments to health care
facilities. Since 1983, Congress has consistently attempted to
limit the growth of federal spending under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs and will likely continue to do so.
Additionally, congressional spending reductions for the Medicaid
program involving the issuance of block grants to states is
likely to hasten the reliance upon managed care as a potential
savings mechanism of the Medicaid program. As a result of this
reform activity, PHC can give no assurance that payments under
such programs will in the future remain at a level comparable to
the present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable
to such patients.
Control of the healthcare industry exercised by federal, state
and local regulatory agencies can increase costs, establish
maximum reimbursement levels and limit expansion. PHC and the
health care industry are subject to rapid regulatory change with
respect to licensure and conduct of operations at existing
facilities, construction of new facilities, acquisition of
existing facilities, the addition of new services, compliance
with physical plant safety and land use requirements,
implementation of certain capital expenditures, reimbursement
for services rendered and periodic government inspections.
Governmental budgetary restrictions have resulted in limited
reimbursement rates in the healthcare industry including PHC. As
a result of these restrictions, PHC cannot be certain that
payments under government programs will remain at a level
comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the
costs allocable to such patients. In addition, many states,
including the State of Michigan, where the majority of
PHCs Medicaid revenue is generated, are considering
reductions in state Medicaid budgets.
153
Health
Planning Requirements
Most of the states in which PHC operates have health planning
statutes which require that prior to the addition or
construction of new beds, the addition of new services, the
acquisition of certain medical equipment or certain capital
expenditures in excess of defined levels, a state health
planning agency must determine that a need exists for such new
or additional beds, new services, equipment or capital
expenditures. These state determinations of need or certificate
of need (DoN) programs are designed to enable states
to participate in certain federal and state health related
programs and to avoid duplication of health services. DoNs
typically are issued for a specified maximum expenditure, must
be implemented within a specified time frame and often include
elaborate compliance procedures for amendment or modification,
if needed.
Licensure
and Certification
All of PHCs facilities must be licensed by state
regulatory authorities. PHCs Harbor Oaks facility is
certified for participation as a provider in the Medicare and
Medicaid programs and, as of July 8, 2010, PHCs Seven
Hills Hospital in Las Vegas is also certified for participation
in these programs.
PHCs initial and continued licensure of its facilities,
and certification to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid
programs, depends upon many factors, including accommodations,
equipment, services, patient care, safety, personnel, physical
environment, the existence of adequate policies, procedures and
controls and the regulatory process regarding the
facilitys initial licensure. Federal, state and local
agencies survey facilities on a regular basis to determine
whether such facilities are in compliance with governmental
operating and health standards and conditions for participating
in government programs. Such surveys include review of patient
utilization and inspection of standards of patient care. PHC has
procedures in place to ensure that its facilities are operated
in compliance with all such standards and conditions. To the
extent these standards are not met, however, the license of a
facility could be restricted, suspended or revoked, or a
facility could be decertified from the Medicare or Medicaid
programs.
Environmental
Matters
PHC is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws that (i) regulate certain activities and operations
that may have environmental or health and safety effects, such
as the handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal
of medical waste products generated at its facilities; the
identification and warning of the presence of
asbestos-containing materials in buildings, as well as the
removal of such materials; the presence of other hazardous
substances in the indoor environment; and protection of the
environment and natural resources in connection with the
development or construction of our facilities; (ii) impose
liability for costs of cleaning up, and damages to natural
resources from, past spills, waste disposals on and off-site, or
other releases of hazardous materials or regulated substances,
and (iii) regulate workplace safety. Some of PHCs
facilities generate infectious or other hazardous medical waste
due to the illness or physical condition of our patients. The
management of infectious medical waste is subject to regulation
under various federal, state and local environmental laws, which
establish management requirements for such waste. These
requirements include record-keeping, notice and reporting
obligations. Each of PHCs in-patient facilities has an
agreement with a waste management company for the disposal of
medical waste. The use of such companies, however, does not
completely protect us from alleged violations of medical waste
laws or from related third-party claims for
clean-up
costs.
From time to time, PHCs operations have resulted in, or
may result in, non-compliance with, or liability pursuant to,
environmental or health and safety laws or regulations. We
believe that PHCs operations are generally in compliance
with environmental and health and safety regulatory requirements
or that any non-compliance will not result in a material
liability or cost to achieve compliance. Historically, the costs
of achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws
and regulations have not been material. However, we cannot
assure you that future costs and expenses required for PHC to
comply with any new or changes in existing environmental and
health and safety laws and regulations or new or discovered
environmental conditions will not have a material adverse effect
on its business.
PHC has not been notified of and is otherwise currently not
aware of any contamination at its currently or formerly operated
facilities for which it could be liable under environmental laws
or regulations for the
154
investigation and remediation of such contamination and PHC
currently is not undertaking any remediation or investigation
activities in connection with any contamination conditions.
There may however be environmental conditions currently unknown
to us relating to PHCs prior, existing or future sites or
operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities
PHC may have assumed or acquired which could have a material
adverse effect on its business.
New laws, regulations or policies or changes in existing laws,
regulations or policies or their enforcement, future spills or
accidents or the discovery of currently unknown conditions or
non-compliances may give rise to investigation and remediation
liabilities, compliance costs, fines and penalties, or liability
and claims for alleged personal injury or property damage due to
substances or materials used in PHCs operations; any of
which may have a material adverse effect on PHCs business,
financial condition, operating results or cash flow.
Medicare
Reimbursement
The only facility of PHC that received Medicare reimbursement in
fiscal 2010 was Harbor Oaks. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2011, 28.4% of revenues for Harbor Oaks and Seven
Hills were derived from Medicare programs. Total revenue from
Harbor Oaks and Seven Hills accounted for 39.0% of PHCs
total net patient care revenues for the nine months ended
March 31, 2011.
Effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2005,
the prospective payment system (PPS) was brought
into effect for all psychiatric services paid through the
Medicare program. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011,
Medicare reimbursement rates were based 100% on the prospective
payment rates. PHC will continue to file cost reports annually
as required by Medicare to determine ongoing rates. These cost
reports are routinely audited on an annual basis. Activity and
cost report expense differences are reviewed on an interim basis
and adjustments are made to the net expected collectable revenue
accordingly. PHC believes that adequate provision has been made
in the financial statements for any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of Medicare audits. Approximately 25.2%
and 27.6% of PHCs total revenue is derived from Medicare
and Medicaid payors for the nine months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively. Differences between the amounts
provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations
in the year of the settlement. To date, settlement adjustments
have not been material.
In order to receive Medicare reimbursement, each participating
facility must meet the applicable conditions of participation
set forth by the federal government relating to the type of
facility, its equipment, its personnel and its standards of
medical care, as well as compliance with all state and local
laws and regulations. In addition, Medicare regulations
generally require that entry into such facilities be through
physician referral. PHC must offer services to Medicare
recipients on a non-discriminatory basis and may not
preferentially accept private pay or commercially insured
patients. PHC currently meets all of these conditions and
requirements and has systems in place to assure compliance in
the future.
Medicaid
Reimbursement
Currently, the only facilities of PHC that receive reimbursement
under any state Medicaid program are Harbor Oaks and Detroit
Behavioral Institute. A portion of Medicaid costs is paid by
states under the Medicaid program and the federal matching
payments are not made unless the states portion is made.
Accordingly, the timely receipt of Medicaid payments by a
facility may be affected by the financial condition of the
relevant state. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011,
16% of total net patient revenues of PHC were derived from
Medicaid programs.
Harbor Oaks and Detroit Behavioral Institute are both
participants in the Medicaid programs administered by the State
of Michigan. PHC receives reimbursement on a per diem basis,
inclusive of ancillary costs. The state determines the rate and
adjusts it annually based on cost reports filed by PHC.
Fraud and
Abuse Laws
Various federal and state laws regulate the business
relationships and payment arrangements between providers and
suppliers of health care services, including employment or
service contracts, and investment relationships. These laws
include the fraud and abuse provisions of the Medicare and
Medicaid statutes as well
155
as similar state statutes (collectively, the Fraud and
Abuse Laws), which prohibit the payment, receipt,
solicitation or offering of any direct or indirect remuneration
intended to induce the referral of patients, and the ordering,
arranging, or providing of covered services, items or equipment.
Violations of these provisions may result in civil and criminal
penalties
and/or
exclusion from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other
government-sponsored programs. The federal government has issued
regulations that set forth certain safe harbors,
representing business relationships and payment arrangements
that can safely be undertaken without violation of the federal
Fraud and Abuse Laws. Failure to fall within a safe harbor does
not constitute a per se violation of the federal Fraud and Abuse
Laws. PHC believes that its business relationships and payment
arrangements either fall within the safe harbors or otherwise
comply with the Fraud and Abuse Laws.
PHC has an active compliance program in place with a corporate
compliance officer and compliance liaisons at each facility and
a toll free compliance hotline. Compliance in-services and
trainings are conducted on a regular basis. Information on
PHCs compliance program and its hot line number is
available to its employees on PHCs intranet and to the
public on PHCs website at www.phc-inc.com.
Employees
As of June 27, 2011, PHC had 775 employees of which
four were dedicated to marketing, 39 (149 part time and three
seasonal) to finance and administration and 209 (324 part time
and 47 contingent) to patient care.
PHC believes that it has been successful in attracting skilled
and experienced personnel. Competition for such employees is
intense, however, and there can be no assurance that PHC will be
able to attract and retain necessary qualified employees in the
future. On July 31, 2003, PHCs largest facility,
Harbor Oaks Hospital, with approximately 125 union eligible
nursing and administrative employees, voted for union (UAW)
representation. PHC and the UAW reached their first collective
bargaining agreement in December 2004. The current agreement was
negotiated in 2010 and will expire in December 2014. As of
March 31, 2011, approximately 88% of the total number of
employees of that subsidiary were covered by the collective
bargaining agreement. In addition, in January, 2007, PHCs
largest out-patient facility, Harmony Healthcare, with
approximately 43 union eligible employees, voted for union
(Teamsters) representation. In April, 2007, PHC and Teamsters
reached a collective bargaining Agreement, which was signed by
Teamsters on April 26, 2007 and PHC on April 30, 2007
to be effective January 1, 2007 and expiring on
January 1, 2010. This agreement was extended while the new
contract was being negotiated. PHC and Teamsters reached a new
agreement which was ratified on July 11, 2010, and expires
on January 1, 2013. As of March 31, 2011,
approximately 25% of the total number of employees of that
subsidiary were covered by the collective bargaining agreement.
The limited number of healthcare professionals in the areas in
which PHC operates may create staffing shortages. PHCs
success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and
retain highly qualified personnel, particularly skilled health
care personnel, which are in short supply. PHC faces competition
for such personnel from governmental agencies, health care
providers and other companies and is constantly increasing its
employee benefit programs, and related costs, to maintain
required levels of skilled professionals. As a result of
staffing shortages, PHC uses professional placement services to
supply it with a pool of professionals from which to choose.
These individuals generally are higher skilled, seasoned
individuals who require higher salaries, richer benefit plans,
and in some instances, require relocation. PHC has also entered
into contracts with agencies to provide short-term interim
staffing in addition to placement services. These additional
costs impact PHCs profitability.
Insurance
Each of PHCs subsidiaries maintains professional liability
insurance policies with coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and
$3,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition to this coverage, all
of the subsidiaries collectively maintain a $20,000,000 umbrella
policy shared by all facilities. In addition, each of these
entities maintains general liability insurance coverage, which
includes business owners liability insurance coverage, in
similar amounts, as well as property insurance coverage.
PHC maintains $1,000,000 of directors and officers
liability insurance coverage. PHC believes, based on its
experience, that its insurance coverage is adequate for its
business and, although cost has escalated in recent years, that
it will continue to be able to obtain adequate coverage.
156
Legal
Proceedings
In addition to the litigation described in The
Merger Litigation Relating to the Merger, PHC
is subject to various claims and legal action that arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, PHC
is not currently a party to any proceeding that would have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.
157
PHC
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial
condition and results of operations of PHC for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the years ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009. You should read the following
discussion of PHCs financial condition and results of
operations in conjunction with PHCs consolidated financial
statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this
proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
As a result of many factors, including those set forth under the
section entitled Risk Factors Risks Affecting
Acadia, PHC and the Combined Company and elsewhere in this
proxy statement/prospectus. PHCs actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements.
Overview
PHC presently provides behavioral health care services through
two substance abuse treatment centers, two psychiatric
hospitals, a residential treatment facility and eight outpatient
psychiatric centers (collectively called treatment
facilities). PHCs revenue for providing behavioral
health services through these facilities is derived from
contracts with managed care companies, Medicare, Medicaid, state
agencies, railroads, gaming industry corporations and individual
clients. The profitability of PHC is largely dependent on the
level of patient census and the payer mix at these treatment
facilities. Patient census is measured by the number of days a
client remains overnight at an inpatient facility or the number
of visits or encounters with clients at outpatient clinics.
Payor mix is determined by the source of payment to be received
for each client being provided billable services. PHCs
administrative expenses do not vary greatly as a percentage of
total revenue but the percentage tends to decrease slightly as
revenue increases. PHCs internet operation, Behavioral
Health Online, Inc., continues to provide behavioral health
information through its web site at Wellplace.com but its
primary function is Internet technology support for the
subsidiaries and their contracts. As such, the expenses related
to Behavioral Health Online, Inc. are included as corporate
expenses.
The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state
and local regulation governing, among other things, licensure
and certification, conduct of operations, audit and retroactive
adjustment of prior government billings and reimbursement. In
addition, there are on-going debates and initiatives regarding
the restructuring of the health care system in its entirety. The
extent of any regulatory changes and their impact on PHCs
business is unknown. The previous administration put forth
proposals to mandate equality in the benefits available to those
individuals suffering from mental illness (the Parity
Act). The Parity Act is now law and its full
implementation started January 1, 2011. This legislation
has improved access to PHCs programs but its total effect
on behavioral health providers cannot yet be assessed at this
early stage. Managed care has had a profound impact on
PHCs operations, in the form of shorter lengths of stay,
extensive certification of benefits requirements and, in some
cases, reduced payment for services. The current economic
conditions continue to challenge PHCs profitability
through increased uninsured patients in our fee for service
business and increased utilization in our capitated business.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including but not
limited to those related to revenue recognition, accounts
receivable reserves, income tax valuation allowances, and the
impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our
estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue
recognition and accounts receivable:
Patient care revenues and accounts receivable are recorded at
established billing rates or at the amount realizable under
agreements with third-party payors, including Medicaid and
Medicare. Revenues under third-party
158
payor agreements are subject to examination and contractual
adjustment, and amounts realizable may change due to periodic
changes in the regulatory environment. Provisions for estimated
third party payor settlements are provided in the period the
related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts
provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations
in the period of settlement. Amounts due as a result of cost
report settlements are recorded and listed separately on the
consolidated balance sheets as Other receivables.
The provision for contractual allowances is deducted directly
from revenue and the net revenue amount is recorded as accounts
receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts does not include
the contractual allowances.
PHC currently has two at-risk contracts. The
contracts call for PHC to provide for all of the inpatient and
outpatient behavioral health needs of the insurance
carriers enrollees in a specified area for a fixed monthly
fee per member per month. Revenues are recorded monthly based on
this formula and the expenses related to providing the services
under these contracts are recorded as incurred. PHC provides as
much of the care directly and, through utilization review,
monitors closely, all inpatient and outpatient services not
provided directly. The contracts are considered
at-risk because the cost of providing the services,
including payments to third-party providers for services
rendered, could equal or exceed the total amount of the revenue
recorded.
All revenues reported by PHC are shown net of estimated
contractual adjustment and charity care provided. When payment
is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to have been
understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are made in
the period the payment is received in accordance with the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Health
Care Organizations. Net contractual adjustments recorded
in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 for revenue booked
in prior years resulted in a decrease in net revenue of
approximately $261,000. Net contractual adjustments recorded in
the nine months ended March 31, 2010 for revenue booked in
prior years resulted in a decrease in net revenue of
approximately $83,500.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, a Medicare cost
report settlement in the amount of $65,143 was recorded. For the
nine months ended March 31, 2010, a total of $92,267 in
cost report settlements was recorded.

PHCs days sales outstanding (DSO) are
significantly different for each type of service and each
facility based on the payors for each service. Overall, the DSO
for the combined operations of PHC were 64 days at
March 31, 2011 and 61 days at June 30, 2010. The
table below shows the DSO by segment for the same periods.

Contract support service revenue is a result of fixed fee
contracts to provide telephone support. Revenue for these
services is recognized ratably over the service period. Revenues
and receivables from our contract services division are based on
a prorated monthly allocation of the total contract amount and
usually paid within 30 days of the end of the month. A
recent large rate increase under one of these contracts
artificially inflated the days outstanding calculation for the
nine month period ended March 31, 2011.
Allowance
for doubtful accounts:
The provision for bad debts is calculated based on a percentage
of each aged accounts receivable category beginning at 0-5% on
current accounts and increasing incrementally for each
additional 30 days the account remains outstanding until
the account is over 300 days outstanding, at which time the
provision is 100% of the outstanding balance. These percentages
vary by facility based on each facilitys experience in and
expectations for collecting older receivables. PHC compares this
required reserve amount to the current Allowance for
doubtful accounts to determine the required bad debt
expense for the period. This method of determining the required
Allowance for doubtful accounts has historically
resulted in an allowance for doubtful accounts of 20% or greater
of the total outstanding receivables balance.
Income
Taxes:
PHC follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes,
as set forth in ASC 740. ASC 740 prescribes an asset
and liability approach, which requires the recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities.
PHCs policy is to record a valuation allowance against
deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such
assets will be realized in future periods. During fiscal year
2010, PHC recorded a tax expense of $1,106,100. For the quarter
and nine months ended March 31, 2011, PHC recorded
estimated tax expense of $299,266 and $1,107,563, respectively,
based on net income recorded to date and projected net income
for the fiscal year.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 740, PHC may establish reserves for tax
uncertainties that reflect the use of the comprehensive model
for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions.
As of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, PHC recorded a
valuation allowance of $150,103 against its deferred tax asset.
This amount relates to Arizona state net operating loss
carryovers. Tax authorities periodically challenge certain
transactions and deductions reported on our income tax returns.
We do not expect the outcome of these examinations, either
individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
160
Valuation
of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially created as a
result of business combinations or acquisitions. PHC makes
significant estimates and assumptions, which are derived from
information obtained from the management of the acquired
businesses and PHCs business plans for the acquired
businesses in determining the value ascribed to the assets
acquired. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the initial
valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets include, but
are not limited to: (i) future expected cash flows from
services to be provided, (ii) customer contracts and
relationships, and (iii) the acquired market position.
These estimates and assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate
because unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. If
estimates and assumptions used to initially value goodwill and
intangible assets prove to be inaccurate, ongoing reviews of the
carrying values of such goodwill and intangible assets may
indicate impairment which will require PHC to record an
impairment charge in the period in which PHC identifies the
impairment.

Total net revenues from operations increased 15.7% to
$45,158,993 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from
$39,044,165 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This
increase is due to increases in census at our in-patient
facilities and a significant increase in contract support
service revenue.
Net patient care revenue increased 15.1% to $41,971,221 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2011 from $36,452,909 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is
primarily due to an overall increase in census at our inpatient
facilities, including Seven Hills Hospital, Highland Ridge and
Harbor Oaks. Census at our inpatient facilities increased 6.2%
for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the
same nine months last year. Included in the census are patients
admitted to or being seen at our own facilities under capitated
agreements held by sister companies. The revenues associated
with these intercompany admissions and visits are eliminated in
the consolidation, which may result in higher census and lower
net revenue depending on the payor mix of other admissions.
Two key indicators of profitability of inpatient facilities are
patient days, or census, and payor mix. Patient days is the
product of the number of patients times length of stay.
Increases in the number of patient days result in
161
higher census, which coupled with a more favorable payor mix
(more patients with higher paying insurance contracts or paying
privately) will usually result in higher profitability.
Therefore, patient census and payor mix are monitored very
closely.
Contract support services revenue provided by Wellplace
increased 23.0% to $3,187,772 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2011 from $2,591,256 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2010. This increase is due to expansion of the
Wayne County call center contract in December 2010, which
increased services provided and payment under the contract.
Patient care expenses in our treatment centers increased 13.6%
to $22,098,067 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011
from $19,454,431 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
This increase in expenses is due to increased census as noted
above and higher utilization under the capitated contracts. The
majority of the increases in expenses relate to direct care
expenses such as payroll, taxes, consultant services and
contract expenses which includes payment to unrelated facilities
for bed days under the contract that we are unable to provide
internally. Payroll and service related expenses increased 16.0%
to $17,114,884 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as
compared to $14,747,943 for the same period a year ago. Payroll
tax expense increased 17.3% to $1,229,478 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 from $1,048,122 for the same period
last year. Contract expenses related to the capitated contracts
remained relatively stable at $3,998,876 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 compared to $3,997,514 for the same
period a year ago. Medical records expense increased to $225,076
for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from $840 for the
same period a year ago. These expenses were included in
consulting fees expenses in previous years when most facilities
began outsourcing this service. Lab fees increased 23.9% to
$284,443 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from
$229,498 for the same period a year ago. Patient transportation
expense decreased 11.8% to $165,129 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2011 from $187,239 for the same period a year
ago. Pharmacy expense decreased 2.7% to $589,001 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2011 from $605,464 for the same
period a year ago.
Contract support services expenses increased 15.5% to $2,543,115
for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from $2,202,584
for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is
due to expansion of the Wayne County call center contract in
December 2010, which increased services provided and payment
under the contract. The contract change not only required
additional staff to support but an increase in the required
level of education of the support staff.
Provision for bad debts increased 59.1% to $2,348,205 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,476,128 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2010. This bad debt expense is
less than PHCs projected cost of 5% of net revenues and is
largely attributable to the overall increase in receivables as a
result of increased patient care revenue. PHCs policy is
to maintain reserves based on the age of its receivables.
Administrative expenses increased 6.8% to $15,228,490 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2011 from $14,259,979 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2010. This includes
approximately $250,000 in start up expenses related to
Renaissance Recovery, the new 24 bed adolescent Chemical
Dependency facility which opened subsequent to quarter end.
Administrative payroll increased 10.2% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2011, respectively, compared to the same period a
year ago. Marketing expense increased 35.8% for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period a year
ago. Advertising expense increased 9.1% for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period a year
ago, as we advertised new programs and facilities. Employee
benefits increased 30.1% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago.
A legal settlement expense of $446,320 was recorded in the
quarter ended March 31, 2011 relating to the ruling by the
Michigan Supreme Court in favor of a terminated employee,
upholding the 2008 decision of the Arbitrator. Since, prior to
the ruling of the Michigan Supreme Court, PHC believed the
decision of the Arbitrator was reached in error, no charge was
taken against income for the award until the final ruling of the
Supreme Court in March 2011.
Interest income increased 83.6% to $185,626 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 from $101,130 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2010. This change is due to the interest
paid and accrued related to the notes acquired from Bank of
America in November 2010, which notes are secured by the
property leased by Capstone Academy.
162
Other income/expense decreased to an expense of $91,821 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2011 from income of $141,921
for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease is
due to approximately $185,000 recorded as an expense that is
estimated by PHC to be required as a non-voluntary contribution
to the 401(k) plan as a result of prior year compliance test
failures. With the assistance of counsel, PHC has filed the
IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution Program (Rev Proc
2008-50) and
is awaiting their response before taking further action toward
resolution. The administration of PHCs 401(k) plan is
outsourced to an independent third party provider, who has the
responsibility to assure timely completion of the compliance
testing of the plan.
Interest expense decreased 2.9% to $234,912 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 from $241,998 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to
minor decreases in long-term debt.
PHCs income tax expense of $1,107,563 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 is based on an estimated combined tax
rate of approximately 47% for both Federal and State taxes
calculated using income before taxes for the nine months and
projected net income for the fiscal year. If this estimate is
found to be high or low, adjustments will be made in the period
of the determination.
There are no trends that PHC expects will have a material impact
on PHCs revenues or net income.

PHC experienced continued profit from operations during fiscal
2010 with increases in census and revenue at Seven Hills and
Capstone Academy and the shift in Harbor Oaks adjudicated unit
to a chemical dependency and rehabilitation unit. PHCs
income from continuing operations increased to income of
$1,419,662 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 from a
loss of $1,041,375 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
Net income increased to a net income of $1,419,662 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of
$2,454,008 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Income
from continuing operations before taxes increased to an income
of $2,525,762 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 from
a loss of $975,611 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
This increase in profit is primarily a result of continued
increases in census and revenue at Seven Hills Hospital,
increased beds and
163
census at Detroit Behavioral Institutes Capstone Academy
and increased census at the chemical dependency unit at Harbor
Oaks. General economic conditions continue to result in very
high utilization of services under our capitated contracts
resulting in higher than anticipated costs under the contracts.
New rates under these contracts were negotiated and implemented
in the third quarter of the fiscal year as utilization continued
to be higher than anticipated. This continued high utilization
is being reviewed and analyzed at this time to determine if
additional rate increases are warranted under the contracts.
Total revenues increased 14.4% to $53,077,226 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $46,411,019 for the year ended
June 30, 2009.
Total net patient care revenue from all facilities increased
16.5% to $49,647,395 for the year ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to $42,599,963 for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Patient days increased 9,787 days for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2010 over the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2009, which includes a 1,528 increase in bed days
provided by Seven Hills Hospital for clients covered under the
Harmony capitated contracts, which is recorded as intercompany
revenue and eliminated in consolidation. In the last quarter of
fiscal 2009, PHC added residential beds at Detroit Behavioral
Institute, which accounted for 60% of the increase in patient
days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The
contracted rate for the residential beds is lower than that of
our other facilities, which would negatively impact our revenue
per patient day without positive changes in our census and payor
mix at our other facilities.
Net inpatient care revenue from inpatient psychiatric services
increased 25.8% to $29,743,377 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010 from $23,634,602 the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2009. This increase is due to a change in payor
mix to payors with more favorable approved rates and from the
increase in residential treatment beds. Net partial
hospitalization and outpatient care revenue increased 4.9% to
$19,904,018 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 from
$18,965,362 for the year ended June 30, 2009. This increase
is primarily due to a more favorable payor mix. Managed care
continues to utilize these step-down programs as a treatment
alternative to inpatient care. Wellplace revenues decreased
10.0% to $3,429,831 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010
from $3,811,056 for the year ended June 30, 2009 due to the
expiration of the smoking cessation contract in the first
quarter of fiscal 2009 and decreases in membership under the
administrative contracts. All revenues reported in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations are shown net
of estimated contractual adjustments and charity care provided.
When payment is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to
have been understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are
made in the period the payment is received in accordance with
the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care
Organizations.
Patient care expenses increased by $2,471,987, or 10.4%, to
$26,306,828 for the year ended June 30, 2010 from
$23,834,841 for the year ended June 30, 2009 due to the
increase in available beds contributing to the increase in
patient census at our inpatient facilities and increased
utilization under our capitated contracts. Inpatient census
increased by 9,787 patient days, 16.5%, for the year ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the year ended June 30,
2009. Contract expense, which includes the cost of outside
service providers for our capitated contracts, increased 12.2%
to $5,300,747 for the year ended June 30, 2010 from
$4,723,122 for the year ended June 30, 2009 due to high
utilization under the capitated contracts. Payroll and service
related consulting expenses, including agency nursing, increased
13.7% to $21,533,585 for the year ended June 30, 2010 from
$18,946,118 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Food and
dietary expense increased 16.1% to $1,108,691 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $954,654 for the year ended
June 30, 2009. Hospital supplies expense increased 32.4% to
$125,367 for the year ended June 30, 2010 from $94,707 for
the year ended June 30, 2009. Housekeeping expense
increased 11.9% to $154,013 for the year ended June 30,
2010 from $137,649 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Lab
fees increased 11.1% to $298,068 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $268,373 for the year ended
June 30, 2009. All of these increases were a result of
increased patient census. We continue to closely monitor the
ordering of all hospital supplies, food and pharmaceutical
supplies, but these expenses all relate directly to the number
of days of inpatient services we provide and are expected to
increase with higher patient census and outpatient visits.
Cost of contract support services related to Wellplace decreased
1.7% to $2,964,621 for the year ended June 30, 2010 from
$3,015,782 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Payroll tax
expense increased 16.7% to $143,767 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $123,203 for the year ended
June 30, 2009 primarily due to increased unemployment
taxes. Employee benefits increased to $133,292 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2010 from
164
$119,564 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 due to
increased health insurance premiums with some reductions in
employee contributions. Office expense increased 62.6% to
$39,091 for the year ended June 30, 2010 from $24,040 for
the year ended June 30, 2009. These increases in expense
are partially the result of increased contract requirements.
Maintenance decreased 29.9% to $52,418 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010 from $74,788 for the year ended June 30,
2009 due to the elimination of maintenance on the Smoking
Cessation software. This decrease in maintenance services offset
the increases in expenses listed above with only minor decreases
in other expense categories.
Provision for bad debts increased 30.1% to $2,131,392 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 from $1,637,738 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This increase is a result
of increases in accounts receivable stemming from increases in
revenue and the increase in aged accounts as the economic
situation makes co-payments more difficult to collect timely.
The policy of PHC is to provide an allowance for doubtful
accounts based on the age of receivables resulting in higher bad
debt expense as receivables age. The goal of PHC, given this
policy, is to keep any changes in the provision for doubtful
accounts at a rate lower than changes in aged accounts
receivable.
The environment PHC operates in today makes collection of
receivables, particularly older receivables, more difficult than
in previous years. Accordingly, PHC has increased staff,
standardized some procedures for collecting receivables and
instituted a more aggressive collection policy, which has for
the most part resulted in an overall decrease in the age of its
accounts receivable. PHCs gross receivables from direct
patient care increased 31.4% to $11,536,637 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $8,781,311 for the year ended
June 30, 2009. PHC believes bad debt expense of less than
5% is acceptable and its reserve of approximately 26% of
accounts receivable is sufficient based on the age of the
receivables. We continue to reserve for bad debt based on
managed care denials and past difficulty in collections. The
growth of managed care has negatively impacted reimbursement for
behavioral health services with higher contractual adjustments
and a higher rate of denials creating slower payment requiring
higher reserves and write offs.
Total administrative expenses increased 2.1% to $19,110,638 for
the year ended June 30, 2010 from $18,721,491 for the year
ended June 30, 2009. Payroll and consultant expense
increased 12.7% to $7,623,957 for the year ended June 30,
2010 from $6,760,875 for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Employee benefits increased 16.4% to $1,107,740 for the year
ended June 30, 2010 from $951,413 for the year ended
June 30, 2009. All of these increases in payroll and
employee related expenses are a result of an increase in staff
to facilitate increased operations. Maintenance expense
increased 11.9% to $674,129 for the year ended June 30,
2010 from $602,596 for the year ended June 30 2009 as Seven
Hills moved to an outside provider for this service and several
older buildings had higher maintenance costs during the year.
Marketing expense increased 40.5% to $189,727 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $135,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2009 as we increased marketing activities
surrounding Seven Hills and increased internet marketing.
Interest expense decreased 27.8% to $326,582 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $452,207 for the year ended
June 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to expensive
short-term borrowings required during the March 31, 2009
quarter prior to the sale of the research division. This short
term borrowing carried with it high origination fees and high
interest expense. PHC recorded income tax expense of $1,106,100
for the year ended June 30, 2010 based on an estimated
combined tax rate of approximately 44% for both Federal and
State taxes. PHC recorded a tax expense on continuing operations
of $65,764 on a loss of approximately $976,000 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2009. PHC expects the combined
effective income tax rate to remain consistent as our highest
revenue producing facilities are located in States with higher
tax rates.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources Nine months ended
March 31, 2011
PHCs net cash provided by operating activities was
$641,917 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared
to $641,405 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Cash
flow provided by operations in the nine months ended
March 31, 2011 consists of net income of $1,246,126,
non-cash activity including depreciation and amortization of
$832,789, non cash interest expense of $109,898,
non-cash share based compensation charges of $144,213, provision
for doubtful accounts of $2,348,205, offset by earnings from
unconsolidated subsidiaries of $26,210. Cash was also provided
by a $260,037 decrease in other assets and a $229,016 increase
in accrued
165
expenses and other liabilities offset by a $64,740 increase in
accounts payable, a $4,188,180 increase in accounts receivable
and a $249,237 increase in prepaid expenses.
Cash used in investing activities of $1,790,532 in the nine
months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of $892,951 in
capital expenditures, $28,360 used in the purchase of licenses
and $1,001,934 used to acquire Notes receivable, offset by
$72,980 received from PHCs investment in unconsolidated
subsidiaries and $59,733 received in payment of notes
receivable, compared to $627,556 in capital expenditures,
$22,210 used in the purchase of licenses offset by $33,528
received from PHCs investment in unconsolidated
subsidiaries during the same period last year. PHC expects
similar capital expenditures going forward.
Cash used in financing activities of $587,811 in the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 consisted of net proceeds from
borrowings of $137,532 and proceeds from the issuance of common
stock of $58,568, offset by payments on long term debt of
$568,584 and the acquisition of treasury stock of $215,327.
A significant factor in the liquidity and cash flow of PHC is
the timely collection of its accounts receivable. As of
March 31, 2011, accounts receivable from patient care, net
of allowance for doubtful accounts, increased 14.5% to
$9,559,280 from $8,351,314 on June 30, 2010. This increase
is a result of increased revenue from Seven Hills Hospital and
Highland Ridge. PHC monitors increases in accounts receivable
closely and, based on the aging of the receivables outstanding,
is confident that the increase is not indicative of a payor
problem. Over the years, we have increased staff, standardized
some procedures for determining insurance eligibility and
collecting receivables and established a more aggressive
collection policy. The increased staff has allowed PHC to
concentrate on current accounts receivable and resolve any
issues before they become uncollectible. PHCs collection
policy calls for earlier contact with insurance carriers with
regard to payment, use of fax and registered mail to
follow-up or
resubmit claims and earlier employment of collection agencies to
assist in the collection process. Our collectors will also seek
assistance through every legal means, including the State
Insurance Commissioners office, when appropriate, to
collect claims. In light of the current economy PHC has
redoubled its efforts to collect accounts early. PHC will
continue to closely monitor reserves for bad debt based on
potential insurance denials and past difficulty in collections.

Total does not include the amount due under the revolving credit
note of $1,473,557. This amount represents amounts advanced on
the accounts receivable funding described below and is shown as
a current note payable in the accompanying financial statements. |
In October 2004, PHC entered into a revolving credit, term loan
and security agreement with CapitalSource Finance, LLC to
replace PHCs primary lender and provide additional
liquidity. Each of PHCs material subsidiaries is a
co-borrower under the agreement. This agreement was amended on
June 13, 2007 to increase the amount available under the
term loan, extend the term, decrease the interest rates and
modify the covenants based on PHCs current financial
position. The agreement now includes a term loan in the amount
of $3,000,000, with a balance of $1,473,557 at March 31,
2011, and an accounts receivable funding revolving credit
agreement with a maximum
166
loan amount of $3,500,000 and a current balance of $485,000. In
conjunction with this refinancing, PHC paid $32,500 in
commitment fees and approximately $53,000 in legal fees and
issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock at $3.09 per share valued at $456,880. The relative
fair value of the warrants was recorded as deferred financing
costs and is being amortized over the period of the loan as
additional interest.
The term loan note carries interest at prime plus .75%, but not
less than 6.25%, with twelve monthly reductions in available
credit of $50,000 beginning July 1, 2007 and increasing to
$62,500 on July 1, 2009 until the expiration of the loan.
As of March 31, 2011, there were no funds available under
the term loan. PHC believes refinancing of this term loan would
be available if required for acquisitions.
The revolving credit note carries interest at prime (3.25% at
March 31, 2011) plus 0.25%, but not less than 4.75%
paid through lockbox payments of third party accounts
receivable. The revolving credit term is three years, renewable
for two additional one-year terms. The balance on the revolving
credit agreement as of March 31, 2011 was $1,473,557. The
balance outstanding as of March 31, 2011 for the revolving
credit note is not included in the above table. The average
interest rate paid on the revolving credit loan, which includes
the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the
financing of the debt, was 8.58%.
This agreement was amended on June 13, 2007 to modify the
terms of the agreement. Advances are available based on a
percentage of accounts receivable and the payment of principal
is payable upon receipt of proceeds of the accounts receivable.
The amended term of the agreement is for two years,
automatically renewable for two additional one year terms. Upon
expiration, all remaining principal and interest are due. The
revolving credit note is collateralized by substantially all of
the assets of PHCs subsidiaries and guaranteed by PHC.
Availability under this agreement is based on eligible accounts
receivable and fluctuates with the accounts receivable balance
and aging.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources Year ended June 30,
2010
As of June 30, 2010, PHC had working capital of $8,197,234,
including cash and cash equivalents of $4,540,278, compared to
working capital of $6,081,980, including cash and cash
equivalents of $3,199,344 at June 30, 2009.
Cash provided by operating activities was $2,193,930 for the
year ended June 30, 2010, compared to cash used in
operating activities of $507,805 for the year ended
June 30, 2009. Cash flow used in operations in fiscal 2010
consists of net income of $1,419,662, increased by non-cash
activity including depreciation and amortization of $1,156,569,
non-cash interest expense of $146,531, change in deferred tax
asset of $185,093, non-cash share based charges of $221,404,
provision for doubtful accounts of $2,131,392, offset by a
non-cash gain on investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries of
$17,562. Further offset by an increase in accounts receivable of
$4,033,019, and an increase in other assets of $12,910, an
increase in prepaid expenses of $15,136, offset by an increase
in accounts payable of $214,238, an increase in accrued expenses
and other liabilities of $744,026 and an increase in income
taxes payable of $23,991.
Cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2010 consisted of
$751,843 used for capital expenditures for the acquisition of
property and equipment and $22,208 used in the purchase of
software licenses offset by $33,528 in distributions from the
equity investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2010 consisted of
$316,422 in net borrowings under PHCs debt facilities and
$467,700 used in the repurchase of 414,057 shares of
PHCs Class A Common Stock, offset by $38,805 received
from the issuance of stock as a result of the exercise of
options and the issue of shares under the employee stock
purchase plan.
A significant factor in the liquidity and cash flow of PHC is
the timely collection of its accounts receivable. As of
June 30, 2010, accounts receivable from patient care, net
of allowance for doubtful accounts, increased approximately
31.5% to $8,351,314 from $6,350,693 on June 30, 2009. This
increase is due to increased revenue and slower payments from
insurance payors. PHCs goal is to maintain or improve the
aging of its accounts receivable. Better accounts receivable
management due to increased staff, standardization of some
procedures for collecting receivables and a more aggressive
collection policy has made this possible in behavioral health,
which is typically a difficult collection environment. Increased
staff has allowed PHC to concentrate on current accounts
167
receivable and resolve any problem issues before they become
uncollectible. PHCs collection policy calls for early
contact with insurance carriers with regard to payment, use of
fax and registered mail to
follow-up or
resubmit claims and earlier employment of collection agencies to
assist in the collection process. PHCs collectors will
also seek assistance through every legal means, including the
State Insurance Commissioners office, when appropriate, to
collect claims. At the same time, PHC continues to closely
monitor allowance for bad debt based on potential insurance
denials and past difficulty in collections.
On June 30, 2010, the term loan balance was $935,000 and
the revolving credit agreement balance was $1,336,025.
On February 5, 2009, PHC signed the first amendment to the
amended and restated revolving credit term loan and security
agreement as outlined above, to increase availability under its
revolving credit line for six months or until the Pivotal sale
was complete (the overline). The interest rate on
the overline was prime plus 3.25% with an origination fee of
$25,000. In addition to increasing the availability for
borrowing as noted above, it provided for additional
availability of $200,000 as part of this short-term borrowing.
This overline was paid in full from operations prior to the
closing of Pivotal.
Restricted
Cash
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, certain
litigation involving PHC and a terminated employee reached
binding arbitration. As a result of this arbitration, the
arbitrator awarded the employee approximately $410,000 plus
costs. In the calculation of the amount awarded, PHC believed
the arbitrator erroneously took into consideration an employment
agreement that was not in question and not terminated by PHC.
Based on this miscalculation, PHCs attorney recommended an
appeal, which PHC initiated. During the quarter ended
March 31, 2010, the Michigan Court of Appeals denied the
appeal. PHC then filed an appeal with the Michigan Supreme
Court. Since PHC and its attorney expected a favorable outcome,
no provision was made for this judgment in the financial
statements for the period ended June 30, 2010; however, PHC
placed $512,197 in escrow as required by the courts. This amount
is shown as restricted cash on PHCs balance sheet as of
June 30, 2010. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the
Michigan Supreme Court found in favor of the terminated employee
requiring PHC to pay $446,320, which includes accrued interest,
to the terminated employee to satisfy this judgment. This amount
is shown as a legal settlement expense in the statement of
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
PHC has no off-balance-sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on
PHCs financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to PHC.
Financing
in connection with MeadowWood Acquisition
On July 1, 2011, concurrent with the closing on the
purchase of MeadowWood, PHC and its subsidiaries entered into a
Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto (the
Lenders), Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative
agent, arranger, book manager, collateral agent, and
documentation agent for the Lenders, and as syndication agent
and swingline lender, and Jefferies Group, Inc., as issuing bank
(the Credit Agreement). The terms of the Credit
Agreement provide for (i) a $23,500,000 senior secured term
loan facility (the Term Loan Facility) and
(ii) up to $3,000,000 senior secured revolving credit
facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), both of
which were fully borrowed upon the closing in order to finance
the MeadowWood purchase, to pay off PHCs existing loan
facility with CapitalSource Finance LLC, for miscellaneous
costs, fees and expenses related to the Credit Agreement and the
MeadowWood purchase, and for general working capital purposes.
The Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility mature on
July 1, 2014, and 0.25% of the principal amount of the Term
Loan Facility will be required to be repaid each quarter during
the term. PHCs current and future subsidiaries are
required to jointly and severally guarantee PHCs
obligations under the Credit Agreement, and PHC and its
subsidiaries obligations under the Credit Agreement are
secured by substantially all of their assets.
The Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility bear
interest, at the option of PHC, at (a) the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate (will in no event be less than 1.75%) plus the Applicable
Margin (as defined below) or (b) the highest of
(x) the U.S. prime rate, (y) the Federal Funds
Effective Rate plus 0.50% and (z) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate
plus 1% per annum (the Alternate Base Rate), plus
the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall
mean
168
5.5% per annum, in the case of Eurodollar loans, and 4.5% per
annum, in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans. The Credit
Agreement permits optional prepayments of the Term Loan Facility
and the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or
penalty. PHC is required to make mandatory prepayments of
amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement with:
(i) 100% of the net proceeds received from certain sales or
other dispositions of all or any part of PHCs and its
subsidiaries assets, (ii) 100% of the net proceeds
received by PHC or any of its subsidiaries from the issuance of
certain debt or preferred stock, (iii) 100% of the net
proceeds of the sale of certain equity, (iv) 100% of
extraordinary receipts, (v) 100% of certain casualty and
condemnation proceeds received by PHC or any of its
subsidiaries, and (vi) 75% of PHCs consolidated
excess cash flow.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants
reasonably customary for similar credit facilities, including a
capital expenditures limitation of $3,800,000 for each fiscal
year during the term and a requirement for PHC to maintain a
minimum consolidated EBITDA, which increases during the term. In
addition, PHC must maintain (i) a maximum total leverage
ratio, which decreases during the term from 4.00 to 1.0 for the
period ended September 30, 2011 to 1.50 to 1.0 for the
period ended September 30, 2014 and (ii) a minimum
consolidated fixed cover charge ratio, which increases during
the term from 1.25 to 1.0 for the period ended
September 30, 2011 to 2.25 to 1.0 for the period ended
June 30, 2014 and 2.00 to 1.0 for the period ended
September 30, 2014. In addition, no later than the 180th
day after the Closing Date, PHC must enter into, and for a
minimum of 18 months thereafter maintain, hedging
agreements that result in at least 50% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loan Facility being effectively
subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate acceptable to the
administrative agent.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default,
including payment defaults, making of a materially false or
misleading representation or warranty, covenant defaults, cross
defaults to certain material indebtedness, certain events of
bankruptcy and insolvency, certain material events under ERISA,
material judgments, loss of Lenders lien priority,
exclusion from a medical reimbursement program and a change of
control. Upon an event of default, the administrative agent, at
the request of the Lenders, is entitled to take various actions,
including terminate the commitments to make the Term Loan
Facility and Revolving Credit Facility available to PHC,
accelerate the amounts due under the Credit Agreement and the
other loan documents, and pursue any other rights or remedies
available under applicable law.
The applicable interest rates will be subject to increase in
certain circumstances. PHC paid certain fees in connection with
the closing and will be required to pay certain additional fees
in connection with the maintenance and administration of the
loans, including a $100,000 per year administration fee, a
duration fee that increases the longer the Term Loan Facility
and the Revolving Credit Facility remain outstanding, and all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the arranger,
administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing bank and
swingline lender with respect to the Term Loan Facility and the
Revolving Credit Facility.

DESCRIPTION
OF ACADIA CAPITAL STOCK
General
As of the closing of the merger, the amended and restated
certificate of incorporation of Acadia will authorize
90,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value,
and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par
value. The following description of Acadias capital stock
is subject to and qualified by Acadias amended and
restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated
bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part,
and by the applicable provisions of Delaware law.
Common
Stock
Voting
Rights
Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote with
respect to each matter presented to Acadias stockholders
on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote.
Acadias common stock will vote as a single class on all
matters relating to the election and removal of directors on the
Acadia board of directors and as provided by law. Holders of
Acadias common stock will not have cumulative voting
rights. Except in respect of matters relating to the election of
directors, or as otherwise provided in Acadias amended and
restated certificate of incorporation or required by law, all
matters to be voted on by Acadias stockholders must be
approved by a majority of the shares present in person or by
proxy at the meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled
to vote on the subject matter. The holders of a majority of the
outstanding voting power of all shares of capital stock entitled
to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, will
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Acadia stockholders.
In the case of the election of directors, all matters to be
voted on by Acadias stockholders must be approved by a
plurality of the shares present in person or by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
Dividend
Rights
The holders of Acadias outstanding shares of common stock
are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared
from time to time by the Acadia board of directors out of
legally available funds. Acadias ability to pay dividends
on its common stock will be limited by restrictions on the
ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make
distributions to it, including restrictions under the terms of
the agreements governing Acadias indebtedness. See
The Merger Acadias Financing for the
Merger.
172
Liquidation
Rights
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of Acadias affairs, holders of
Acadias common stock would be entitled to share ratably in
Acadias assets that are legally available for distribution
to stockholders after payment of Acadias debts and other
liabilities. If Acadia has any preferred stock outstanding at
such time, holders of the preferred stock may be entitled to
distribution
and/or
liquidation preferences. In either such case, Acadia must pay
the applicable distribution to the holders of its preferred
stock, if any, before Acadia may pay distributions to the
holders of its common stock.
Other
Rights
Acadias stockholders will have no preemptive, conversion
or other rights to subscribe for additional shares. All
outstanding shares are, and all shares offered by this proxy
statement/prospectus will be, when sold, validly issued fully
paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges
of the holders of Acadias common stock are subject to, and
may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of
shares of any series of Acadias preferred stock that the
Acadia board of directors may designate and issue in the future.

Preferred
Stock
Acadias amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will authorize the Acadia board of directors to provide for the
issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series and
to fix the preferences, powers and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, and qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, including the dividend
rate, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and
liquidation preference, and to fix the number of shares to be
included in any such series without any further vote or action
by Acadias stockholders. Any preferred stock so issued may
rank senior to Acadias common stock with respect to the
payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, or both. The issuance of preferred stock may have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of Acadia without further action by its stockholders and
may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders
of its common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with voting
and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of
the holders of Acadia common stock, including the loss of voting
control to others. At present, Acadia has no plans to issue any
preferred stock.
Stock
Options
In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, as of the
effective time of the merger, each then outstanding option to
purchase shares of PHC common stock, whether vested or unvested,
issued pursuant to PHCs 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan (as amended December 2002), PHCs 1995 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (as amended December 2002), PHCs 1993
Stock Purchase and Option Plan (as amended December 2002),
PHCs 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan,
PHCs 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or PHCs 2003
Stock Purchase and Option Plan (as amended December
2007) will be assumed by Acadia and will, by virtue of the
merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof,
be converted into an option to purchase one-quarter
(1/4)
of one share of Acadia common stock for each share of PHC common
stock subject to such stock option and the per share exercise
price for Acadia common stock issuable upon the exercise of such
assumed stock option will be equal to (i) the exercise
price per share of PHC common stock at which such PHC stock
option was exercisable immediately prior to the effective time
of the merger multiplied by (ii) four (4) (rounded
up to the nearest whole cent and as adjusted so as to comply
with the regulations under Section 409A of the Code).
173
Except with respect to options held by the PHC directors (other
than Mr. Shear), the assumed stock options will be subject
to the same terms and conditions (including expiration date and
exercise provisions as contemplated by the related PHC stock
option plans) as were applicable to such PHC stock options
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. See
The Merger Assumption of Stock Options.
As of May 23, 2011, vested and unvested stock options
exercisable for 1,287,250 shares of PHCs Class A
Common Stock remained outstanding.
Warrants
In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, as of the
effective time of the merger, each outstanding warrant to
purchase shares of PHC common stock will be assumed by Acadia
and will, by virtue of the merger and without any action on the
part of the holder thereof, be converted into a warrant to
purchase one-quarter of one share of Acadia common stock for
each share of PHC common stock subject to such PHC warrant and
the per share exercise price for Acadia common stock issuable
upon the exercise of such assumed warrant will be equal to
(i) the exercise price per share of PHC common stock at
which such PHC warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the
effective time of the merger multiplied by (ii) four
(4) (rounded up to the nearest whole cent and as adjusted so as
to comply with the regulations under Section 409A of the
Code). Except as otherwise provided herein, the assumed warrants
will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including
expiration date and exercise provisions as contemplated by the
applicable award agreement) as were applicable to the
corresponding PHC warrant immediately prior to the effective
time of the merger.
As of May 23, 2011, warrants exercisable for
343,000 shares of PHCs Class A Common Stock were
issued and outstanding. These warrants consist of one warrant to
purchase 250,000 shares of PHCs Class A Common
Stock at a price of $3.09 per share which expires in June 2017.
The remaining warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 and
expiration dates ranging from September 2012 to February 2014.
Board of
Directors Composition
The stockholders agreement to be entered into among Acadia and
the Stockholders named therein in connection with the closing of
the merger will provide that so long as the WCP Investors (as
defined therein) retain voting control over at least 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of Acadia, the WCP Investors will
have the right to designate seven (7) representatives to
the Acadia board of directors, four (4) of which will be
designated as Class I directors and three (3) of which
will be designated as Class II directors. From and after
the date on which the WCP Investors cease to have voting control
over at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia
and for so long as the WCP Investors hold at least 17.5% of the
outstanding voting securities of Acadia, the WCP Investors will
have the right to designate at least such number of directors to
the Acadia board of directors that, when compared to the
authorized number of directors on the Acadia board of directors,
is not less than proportional (which, for the avoidance of
doubt, will mean that the number of representatives will be
rounded up to the next whole number in all cases) to the total
number of shares of Acadia common stock and other equity
securities of Acadia and its subsidiaries over which the WCP
Investors retain voting control relative to the total number of
shares of Acadia common stock and other equity securities of
Acadia and its subsidiaries then issued and outstanding. From
and after such time as the WCP Investors cease to hold at least
17.5% of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia, the WCP
Investors will have no right to designate any representative to
the Acadia board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the stockholders agreement will provide that no reduction in the
number of shares of Acadia common stock and other equity
securities of Acadia and its subsidiaries over which the WCP
Investors retain voting control will shorten the term of any
incumbent director on the Acadia board of directors.
For so long as the WCP Investors have the right to designate a
majority of the Acadia board of directors, the directors
designated by affiliates of Waud Capital Partners are expected
to constitute a majority of each committee of the Acadia board
of directors (other than the Audit Committee) and the chairman
of each of the committees (other than the Audit Committee) is
expected to be a director serving on such committee who is
selected by affiliates of Waud Capital Partners, provided that,
at such time as Acadia is not a controlled company
under NASDAQ corporate governance standards, Acadias
committee membership will comply with all applicable
requirements of
174
those standards and a majority of its board of directors will be
independent directors, as defined under the rules of
NASDAQ. See Acadia Management After the Merger
Controlled Company.
Corporate
Opportunity
Acadias amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will provide that the doctrine of corporate
opportunity will not apply against Waud Capital Partners,
its affiliates, any investment fund managed by Waud Capital
Partners or any of their respective portfolio companies or their
respective partners, members, directors, employees,
stockholders, agents or successors, in a manner that would
prohibit them from investing in competing businesses or doing
business with Acadias clients or customers. See Risk
Factors Risks Affecting Acadia, PHC and the Combined
Company If the ownership of Acadia common stock
following the completion of the merger continues to be highly
concentrated, it may prevent you and other stockholders from
influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in
conflicts of interest that could cause Acadias stock price
to decline.
Antitakeover
Effects of Delaware Law and Acadias Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated
Bylaws
The amended and restated certificate of incorporation and
amended and restated bylaws for Acadia will also contain
provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party
from acquiring control of Acadia. Acadia expects that these
provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive
takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions
are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire
control of Acadia to first negotiate with the Acadia board of
directors, which Acadia believes may result in an improvement of
the terms of any such acquisition in favor of its stockholders.
However, they also give the Acadia board of directors the power
to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.
Undesignated
Preferred Stock
The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock will make
it possible for the Acadia board of directors to issue preferred
stock with super voting, special approval, dividend or other
rights or preferences on a discriminatory basis that could
impede the success of any attempt to acquire it. These and other
provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or
discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or
management of Acadia.
Classified
Board of Directors
Acadias amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will provide that its board of directors will be divided into
three classes, with each class serving three-year staggered
terms. In addition, under the DGCL, directors serving on a
classified board of directors may only be removed from the board
of directors with cause and by an affirmative vote of the
majority of Acadias common stock. These provisions may
have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile
takeovers, or changes in control or management of Acadia.
Requirements
for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings
Acadias amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be
called only upon a resolution approved by a majority of the
Acadia board of directors then in office.
Requirements
for Nominations and Proposals at Stockholder
Meetings
Acadias amended and restated bylaws will prohibit the
conduct of any business at a special meeting other than as
brought by or at the direction of the Acadia board of directors.
Acadias amended and restated bylaws will also provide that
nominations of persons for election to its board of directors
may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which
directors are to be elected pursuant to the notice of meeting
(1) by or at the direction of the Acadia board of directors
or (2) provided that the Acadia board of directors has
determined that directors will be elected at such special
meeting, by any Acadia stockholder who (i) is a stockholder
of record both at the time the notice is delivered and on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
vote at such meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the
meeting and upon such election, and (iii) complies with the
notice procedures set forth in
175
Acadias amended and restated bylaws. These provisions may
have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile
takeovers, or changes in control or management of Acadia.
Stockholder
Action by Written Consent
Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, any action required to
be taken at any annual or special meeting of the Acadia
stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing,
setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares of Acadia stock entitled to
vote thereon were present and voted, unless the related
certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Acadias
amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide
that until such time as the WCP Investors no longer beneficially
own at least a majority of the outstanding Acadia common stock,
the Acadia stockholders may take any action by written consent
in lieu of a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote,
if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so
taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who
signed the consent or consents, will be signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted. From and after such time as the WCP Investors
no longer beneficially own at least a majority of the
outstanding Acadia common stock, Acadias amended and
restated certificate of incorporation will provide that any
action required or permitted to be taken by its stockholders may
be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of its
stockholders and may not be effected by consent in writing by
such stockholders.
Business
Combinations with Interested Stockholders
Acadia will elect in its amended and restated certificate of
incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL,
an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a
publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business
combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15%
or more of the corporations voting stock for a period of
three years following the date the person became an interested
stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business
combination or the transaction in which the person became an
interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner.
Accordingly, Acadia will not be subject to any anti-takeover
effects of Section 203 of the DGCL. However, Acadias
amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain
provisions that have the same effect as Section 203, except
that they will provide that both Waud Capital Partners, any
investment fund managed by Waud Capital Partners and any of
their respective Affiliates and Associates (each as defined in
the amended and restated certificate of incorporation) with whom
any of the foregoing are acting as a group or in concert for the
purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing shares of
Acadia stock and any persons to whom Waud Capital Partners sells
at least five percent (5%) of outstanding voting stock of Acadia
will be deemed to have been approved by the Acadia board of
directors, and thereby not subject to the restrictions set forth
in Acadias amended and restated certificate of
incorporation that have the same effect as Section 203 of
the DGCL.
Poison
Pill Restrictions
Acadias amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will provide that on or prior to the effective date of the
merger, neither Acadia nor any of its direct or indirect
subsidiaries will adopt or otherwise implement any poison
pill stockholder rights plan, or issue, sell or otherwise
distribute any rights or securities to any person pursuant to
such a plan, without first obtaining the approval of the holders
of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of Acadia
then outstanding.
Requirements
for Amendments to Acadias Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
Acadias amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will provide that Acadia reserves the right to amend alter,
change or repeal any provision contained therein, in the manner
now or hereafter prescribed therein and by the laws of the State
of Delaware. Furthermore, Acadias amended and restated
certificate of incorporation will provide that the articles
relating to the following topics may only be amended, altered,
changed or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least a majority of the voting power of all of Acadias
outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote
176
generally in the election of directors, other than shares of any
Interested Stockholder (as defined in Acadias
amended and restated certificate of incorporation: Board of
Directors (Article Six); Limitation of Director Liability
(Article Seven); Limitations on Written Consent/Special
Meetings (Article Eight); Business Combinations
(Article Ten); Poison Pill (Article Eleven);
Amendments (Article Twelve); Forum Selection
(Article Thirteen); and Severability
(Article Fourteen). Acadias amended and restated
certificate of incorporation will also provide that
Article Nine, which deals with corporate opportunity, may
only be amended, altered or repealed by a vote of 80% of the
voting power of all of Acadias shares of common stock then
outstanding, voting together as a single class. See
Corporate Opportunity.
BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP OF ACADIA COMMON STOCK AFTER THE MERGER
The following table sets forth the expected beneficial ownership
of Acadia common stock following the merger by:
|
|
|
|
|
each person or group who is expected to own beneficially more
than 5% of Acadias outstanding common stock (after giving
effect to the merger);
|
|
|
|
each person who is expected to be an executive officer following
the merger;
|
|
|
|
each person who is expected to be a director following the
merger; and
|
|
|
|
all of our executive officers and directors as a group following
the merger.
|
The percentages below are based upon an estimated 22,560,560
shares of Acadia common stock expected to be outstanding
following the merger and each of the forgoing persons
ownership interest in Acadia Holdings or PHC, as applicable, as
of June 30, 2011.
As of June 30, 2011, all of the outstanding common stock of
Acadia is held by Acadia Holdings. Acadia Holdings will be
dissolved prior to the merger and the common stock of Acadia
will be distributed to the members of Acadia Holdings in
accordance with their respective ownership interests. The
information in the table sets forth the number of shares of
Acadia common stock that would have been held by each holder of
Acadia Holdings equity assuming that Acadia Holdings had
been dissolved as of June 30, 2011.
The only executive officers and directors who will hold options
as of the closing of the merger are Mr. Shear and
Mr. Grieco. Mr. Griecos options will vest upon
the closing of the merger and the shares of Acadia common stock
that will be issuable upon exercise of such options are assumed
to be outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage
ownership of Mr. Grieco below. Mr. Shears
ownership includes any options exercisable within 60 days
of June 30, 2011. These options are treated as beneficially
owned by Mr. Shear for purposes of computing his beneficial
ownership below. Mr. Grieco and Mr. Shears
options are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing
the percentage ownership of any other person.
Unless otherwise indicated below, to the knowledge of Acadia,
all persons listed below would have had sole voting and
investment power with respect to their shares of common stock,
except to the extent authority is shared
177
by spouses under applicable law. In preparing the following
table, Acadia has relied on the information furnished by the
persons listed below.

STOCKHOLDERS
AGREEMENT
In connection with consummation of the merger, Acadia, certain
members of Acadia management (the Management
Investors) and Waud Capital Partners and certain of its
affiliates will enter into a stockholders agreement. The
following summary of the stockholders agreement does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the provisions of the stockholders agreement which is filed as
an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy
statement/prospectus is a part.
Management Rights. As discussed above in
Description of Acadias Capital Stock
Board of Directors Composition, for so long as the WCP
Investors retain voting control over at least 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of Acadia, the WCP Investors will
have the right to designate seven (7) representatives to
the Acadia board of directors, four (4) of which will be
designated as Class I directors and three (3) of which
will be designated as Class II directors. From and after
the date on which the WCP Investors cease to have voting control
over at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia
and for so long as the WCP Investors hold at least 17.5% of the
outstanding voting securities of Acadia, the WCP Investors will
have the right to designate at least such number of directors to
the Acadia board of directors that, when compared to the
authorized number of directors on the Acadia board of directors,
is not less than proportional to the total number of Stockholder
Shares (as defined below) over which the WCP Investors retain
voting control relative to the total number of Stockholder
Shares then issued and outstanding (with the number of
representatives rounded up to the next whole number in all
cases). From and after such time as the WCP Investors cease to
hold at least 17.5% of the outstanding voting securities of
Acadia, the WCP Investors will have no right to designate any
representative to the Acadia board of directors. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the stockholders agreement will provide that no
reduction in the number of shares of Acadia common stock and
other equity securities of Acadia and its subsidiaries over
which the WCP Investors retain voting control will shorten the
term of any incumbent director on the Acadia board of directors.
The stockholders agreement provides that the Acadia board of
directors will appoint Messrs. Jacobs and Shear to the
Acadia board of directors, as Class III directors.
Mr. Jacobs appointment shall last as long as he
continues to serve as the chief executive officer of Acadia or
any of its subsidiaries. Mr. Shears appointment will
terminate after the expiration of the three-year term following
his initial term.
Stockholder Shares is defined as (i) any
shares of Acadia common stock or other equity securities of
Acadia or its subsidiaries from time to time purchased or
otherwise acquired or held by any party to the stockholders
agreement, (ii) any Acadia common stock or other equity
securities of Acadia or its subsidiaries from time to time
issued or issuable directly or indirectly upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange of any securities purchased or otherwise
acquired by any party to the stockholders agreement (excluding
options to purchase Acadia common stock granted by Acadia unless
and until such options are exercised), and (iii) any other
capital stock or other equity securities of Acadia or its
subsidiaries from time to time issued or issuable directly or
indirectly with respect to the securities referred to in
clauses (i) or (ii) above by way of a stock dividend
or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization.
Voting Agreement. Under the stockholders
agreement, in the event the approval of Acadias
stockholders is required in connection with any election or
removal of directors, merger, consolidation, business
combination,
179
recapitalization, conversion, sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of its property or assets, authorization or
issuance of capital stock or other securities (including the
adoption of any equity incentive plan), executive compensation,
stockholder proposal, amendment to or restatement of the Acadia
certificate of incorporation or bylaws or pursuant to any
contractual agreement to which a Management Investor is a party
or is bound, each Management Investor will vote all of his or
her Stockholder Shares and any other voting securities over
which such Management Investor has voting control, and will take
all other necessary or desirable actions within his, her or its
control so that all such Stockholder Shares and other Acadia
voting securities are voted as directed by the WCP Investors
holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Acadia common
stock held by all WCP Investors as of such date (the
Majority WCP Investors). In furtherance of the
foregoing, each Management Investor will appoint Waud Capital
Partners II, L.P. as such Management Investors true and
lawful proxy and attorney-in fact, with full power and authority
to vote such Management Investors Stockholder Shares and
any other voting securities of Acadia over which such Management
Investor has voting control for the election
and/or
removal of directors (in accordance with the provisions
described above in Management Rights)
and all such matters as described in this
Voting Agreement section. The
stockholders agreement will provide that the voting agreements
and proxy described in this paragraph will terminate from and
after such time as the WCP Investors cease to hold 17.5% of
Acadias outstanding voting securities.
Transfer Restrictions. The stockholders
agreement will provide that no Management Investor may transfer
any interest in any Stockholder Shares, except as described in
the following sentence, without first obtaining the consent of
the Majority WCP Investors; provided, that the Management
Investors may transfer Stockholder Shares to their
Permitted Transferees (as defined in the
stockholders agreement) as long as the transferring Management
Investor retains voting control over the transferred Stockholder
Shares. The aforementioned restrictions on transfer do not apply
to the following Stockholder Shares: (i) Stockholder Shares
received as consideration in the merger; (ii) Stockholder
Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by any Management
Investor after the effective time of the merger (excluding, for
the avoidance of doubt, Stockholder Shares received in the
dissolution of Acadia Holdings to be consummated prior to the
merger); and (iii) a percentage of Stockholder Shares held
by each Management Investor and designated as Unrestricted
Shares in accordance with the terms of the stockholders
agreement. The stockholders agreement defines Unrestricted
Shares, with respect to any Management Investor, as the
number of such Management Investors Subject Shares
determined by multiplying (x) the total number of Subject
Shares held by such Management Investor as of the date of the
stockholder agreement (as appropriately adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations
and the like), by (y) the result of 100% minus the WCP
Liquidity Percentage; provided, that (i) from and after the
third anniversary of the date of the stockholders agreement, no
fewer than 33% of the Subject Shares held by such Management
Investor as of the date of the stockholders agreement shall be
Unrestricted Shares, (ii) from and after the fourth
anniversary of the stockholders agreement, no fewer than 67% of
the Subject Shares held by such Management Investor as of the
date of the stockholders agreement shall be Unrestricted Shares,
and (iii) from and after the fifth anniversary of the date
of the stockholders agreement, 100% of such Management
Investors Subject Shares shall be Unrestricted Shares. The
stockholders agreement also defines Subject Shares,
with respect to any Management Investor, as all
Stockholder Shares purchased or otherwise acquired or held by
such Management Investor other than (A) any Stockholder
Shares received by such Management Investor as consideration in
the merger, and (B) any Stockholder Shares purchased or
otherwise acquired by such Management Investor after the
effective time of the merger (which, for purposes of clarity,
shall not include any Stockholder Shares received by such
Management Investor in connection with the dissolution of Acadia
Holdings or otherwise in connection with the liquidation and
dissolution of Acadia Holdings) and WCP Liquidity
Percentage as the percentage obtained by dividing
(i) the total number of Stockholder Shares constituting WCP
Equity as of the date of determination, by (ii) the total
number of Stockholder Shares constituting WCP Equity as of the
date of the stockholders agreement (as appropriately adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations and the like). The stockholders agreement
defines WCP Equity as (i) the Acadia common
stock held by the WCP Investors on the date of the stockholders
agreement and any other Stockholder Shares from time to time
issued to or otherwise acquired by the WCP Investors (other than
pursuant to purchases made on the open market and not in
connection with any private placement by Acadia), and
(ii) any securities issued with respect to the securities
referred to in clause (i) by way of a stock split, stock
dividend, or other division of securities, or in connection with
a combination of securities, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, or other reorganization. As to any particular
securities constituting WCP Equity, such securities shall cease
to be WCP Equity when they have been (A) effectively
registered under the Securities Act and disposed of for cash in
accordance with the registration statement covering them,
(B) purchased or otherwise acquired for cash by any person
other than a WCP Investor, or
180
(C) redeemed or repurchased for cash by Acadia or any of
its subsidiaries or any designee thereof. The Stockholder Shares
not described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the
prior sentence are referred to in the stockholders agreement as
Restricted Shares.
Lock-Ups. The
stockholders agreement will provide that no Management Investor
or other holder of Restricted Shares will take any of the
following actions from the date Acadia gives notice to the
Management Investors that a preliminary or final prospectus has
been circulated for a public offering and during the
90 days following the date of the final prospectus for such
public offering: (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge
or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity
securities of Acadia or any of its subsidiaries or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
such securities; (ii) enter into any transaction which
would have the same effect as described in clause (i);
(iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that
transfers, in whole or part, any of the economic consequences or
ownership of any of the securities described in clause (i); or
(iv) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any
transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii). The
foregoing restrictions do not apply to transactions made in the
subject public offering and those to which the underwriters
managing such public offering agree in writing. As used in this
Stockholders Agreement section, public
offering refers to any offering by Acadia of its capital
stock or other equity securities of Acadia or any of its
subsidiaries to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or any comparable statement
under any similar federal statute then in force.
Certain Covenants. Under the stockholders
agreement, Acadia will be obligated, for so long as the WCP
Investors continue to hold 17.5% of the outstanding voting
securities of Acadia, to deliver to the WCP Investors certain
audited and unaudited financial statements, annual budgets and
operating plans and other information and financial data
concerning Acadia and its subsidiaries as reasonably requested
by the WCP Investors. Acadia will also be obligated during such
period to permit any representative designated by any WCP
Investor, upon reasonable notice and execution of a customary
confidentiality agreement, to visit and inspect any of the
Acadia properties, to examine the corporate, financial and other
records of Acadia and its subsidiaries and to consult with the
directors, officers, managers, key employees and independent
accountants of Acadia and its subsidiaries.
For so long as the WCP Investors continue to hold 17.5% of the
outstanding voting securities of Acadia, Acadia will not be
permitted to take (or permitted to cause its subsidiaries to
take) any of the following actions, subject to certain limited
exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Majority
WCP Investors: (i) pay dividends, redeem stock or make
other distributions; (ii) authorize, issue or enter into
any agreement providing for the issuance of any debt or equity
securities; (iii) make loans, advances, guarantees or
Investments (as defined in the stockholders
agreement); (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations;
(v) make or fail to make certain capital expenditures;
(vi) sell, lease, license or dispose of any assets;
(vii) liquidate, dissolve or wind up or effect a
recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization;

(ix) materially change its business activities;
(x) enter into, amend, modify or supplement or waive any
provisions of any agreement, transaction, commitment or
arrangement with any affiliate; (xi) incur additional
indebtedness exceeding $10.0 million in aggregate principal
amount outstanding at any time on a consolidated basis; or
(xii) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they become due. Furthermore, so long as the WCP Investors
continue to hold 17.5% of the outstanding voting securities of
Acadia will (and will cause each of its subsidiaries to) take
the following actions (subject to certain limited exceptions),
unless it has received the prior written consent of the Majority
WCP Investors: (A) maintain and keep its tangible assets in
good repair, working order and condition; (B) maintain all
material intellectual property rights necessary to the conduct
of its business and maintain agreements providing for the
confidentiality and protection of its intellectual property
rights; (C) comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations of all governmental
entities; (D) cause to be done all things reasonably
necessary to maintain, preserve and renew all licenses, permits
and other approvals necessary for the conduct of the Acadia
business and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the merger agreement; (E) pay and discharge when payable
all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed
upon its properties or the income or profits therefrom;
(F) use commercially reasonable efforts to continue in
force adequate insurance; (G) maintain proper books of
record and account which present fairly in all material respects
its financial conditions and results of operations and make
provisions on its financial statements for all proper reserves,
each in accordance with GAAP.
Company Name. For a period of two years
following the effective time of the merger, Acadia will file a
dba in Delaware and such other jurisdictions as it
deems necessary to enable it to conduct business as
Pioneer Behavioral Health and will conduct business
under such name.

COMPARISON
OF STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS
PHC is incorporated in Massachusetts and Acadia is incorporated
in Delaware. The rights of a PHC stockholder are governed by the
MBCA, the PHC articles of organization and the PHC bylaws. Upon
completion of the merger, PHC stockholders will receive shares
of Acadia common stock in exchange for their shares of PHC
common stock, and as Acadia stockholders their rights will be
governed by the DGCL, Acadias amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and Acadias amended and
restated bylaws.
The following is a summary of the material differences between
the rights of PHC stockholders and the rights of Acadia
stockholders, but does not purport to be a complete description
of those differences. These differences may be determined in
full by reference to the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act,
which we refer to as the MBCA, the DGCL, the PHC articles of
organization, Acadias amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, the PHC bylaws and Acadias amended and
restated bylaws. The PHC articles of organization, Acadias
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the PHC
bylaws and Acadias amended and restated bylaws are subject
to amendment in accordance with their terms. Copies of the
governing corporate instruments are available, without charge,
to any person, including any beneficial owner to whom this

Acadia be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each
share of capital stock held by such stockholder. When holders of
a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of
capital stock of Acadia entitled to vote is present in person or
represented by proxy, the affirmative vote of the majority of
voting power of capital stock of Acadia present in person or

the stockholders named therein in connection with the closing of
the merger will provide that so long as the WCP Investors (as
defined therein) retain voting control over at least 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of Acadia, the WCP Investors will
have the right to designate seven representatives to the board
of directors, four of which will be designated as Class I
directors and three of which will be designated as Class II
directors. From and after the date on which the WCP Investors
cease to have voting control over at least 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of Acadia and for so long as the
WCP Investors hold at least 17.5% of the outstanding voting
securities of Acadia, the WCP Investors will have the right to
designate at least such number of directors to the board of
directors that, when compared to the authorized number of
directors on the board of directors, is not less than
proportional to the total number of shares of common stock and
other equity securities of Acadia and its subsidiaries over
which the WCP Investors retain voting control relative to the
total number of shares of common stock and other equity
securities of Acadia and its subsidiaries then issued and
outstanding.
|

|
|
|
|
From and after such time as the WCP Investors cease to hold at
least 17.5% of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia, the
WCP Investors will
|
|
|
184
|
|
|
Acadia
|
|
PHC
|
|
have no right to designate any representative to the board of
directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stockholders
agreement will provide that no reduction in the number of shares
of common stock and other equity securities of Acadia and its
subsidiaries over which the WCP Investors retain voting control
will shorten the term of any incumbent director on the board of
directors.
|
|
|
Voting Rights in Extraordinary Transactions
|
|
|
|
The DGCL requires approval of a consolidation, merger,
dissolution or sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially
all of the assets of Acadia by the affirmative vote of a
majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
Approval by a surviving corporations stockholders of a
plan of merger is not required if: (1) the agreement of
merger does not amend in any respect the certificate of
incorporation; (2) each share of stock of such constituent
corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date
of the merger is to be an identical outstanding or treasury
share of the surviving corporation after the effective date of
the merger; and (3) the number of shares of common stock to
be issued in connection with the merger does not exceed 20% of
the shares of common stock of the corporation outstanding prior
to the merger.
|
|
Pursuant to the MBCA, a plan of merger or share exchange
requires adoption by the board of directors and the affirmative
vote of two-thirds of all the shares entitled to vote generally
on the matter. Additionally, in certain cases, the plan of
merger or share exchange may require the affirmative vote of
two-thirds of all of the shares of a class or series of shares
voting as a separate voting group. Approval by a
corporations stockholders of a plan of merger or share
exchange is not required if: (1) the corporation will survive
the merger or is the acquiring corporation in a share exchange;
(2) its articles of organization will not be changed except for
amendments by the board of directors that do not require
stockholder approval; (3) each stockholder of the corporation
whose shares were outstanding immediately before the effective
date of the merger or share exchange will hold the same number
of shares, with identical preferences, limitations, and relative
rights, immediately after the effective date of the merger or
share exchange; (4) the number of shares to be issued in
connection with the merger does not exceed 20% of the shares of
the corporation of the same class or series outstanding prior to
the merger; and (5) a domestic parent corporation that owns at
least 90% of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled
to vote on the matter of a subsidiary merges with such
subsidiary.
|
Amendment to Charter
|
|
|
|
The DGCL provides that in order to amend the certificate of
incorporation, the board of directors must adopt a resolution
that then must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority
of the voting power of the outstanding stock entitled to vote
thereon, unless a greater vote is specified in the certificate
of incorporation, and subject to any additional vote required by
any series of preferred stock. The Acadia certificate of
incorporation does not currently specify or require a greater
level of approval for amendments to the certificate of
incorporation.
|
|
Under the MBCA, most amendments to a corporations articles
of organization require approval of the board of directors and
the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the shares entitled to
vote generally. Additionally, in certain cases, an amendment to
the corporations articles of organization may require the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of all of the shares of a class
or series of shares voting as a separate voting group.
Amendments to a corporations articles of organization may
be made with the approval of a majority of the
corporations outstanding shares in connection with (1) an
increase or reduction in the

corporations capital stock of any class or series then
authorized, (2) a change in the corporations authorized
shares into a different number of shares or the exchange thereof
pro rata for a different number of shares of the same class or
series or (3) a change of the corporations name.
|
Amendment to Bylaws
|
|
|
|
Under the DGCL, holders of a majority of the voting power of a
corporation and, when provided in the certificate of
incorporation, the directors of the corporation, have the power
to adopt, amend and repeal the bylaws of a corporation.
Acadias certificate of incorporation authorizes the board
of directors to amend Acadias bylaws.
|
|
Pursuant to the MBCA, the power to make, amend or repeal bylaws
shall be vested in the stockholders, unless the board of
directors is otherwise authorized to do so pursuant to the
articles of organization. PHCs articles of organization
and bylaws provide that the bylaws may be altered, amended or
repealed by the board of directors, except with respect to any
provision which by law, by the articles of organization or by
the bylaws themselves requires action by the stockholders.
|
Special Meeting of Stockholders
|
|
|
|
Delaware law permits special meetings of stockholders to be
called by the board of directors and any other persons specified
by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Delaware law
permits but does not require that stockholders be given the
right to call special meetings. The Acadia bylaws provide that
special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Acadia
President on his own behalf or at the request of a majority of
the Acadia board of directors or the holders of 10% of more of
the then issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
Acadia entitled to vote at the meeting. Business transacted at
any special meeting of stockholders is limited to matters
relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of
meeting.
|
|
The MBCA provides that a corporation shall hold a special
meeting of its stockholders if called by the board of directors
or person authorized to do so by the articles of organization or
bylaws of the corporation or, unless otherwise provided in the
articles of organization or bylaws, if the holders of at least
40% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue to be
considered at the proposed special meeting sign, date and
deliver to the corporations secretary one or more written
demands. PHCs bylaws provide that a special meeting can be
called by the President or by the board of directors and shall
be called by the secretary, or in the case of the death,
absence, incapacity or refusal of the secretary, by any other
officer, if one or more stockholders who hold at least one-tenth
part in interest of the capital stock entitled to vote on any
issue to be considered at the proposed special meeting deliver a
written application.
|
Stockholder Proposals and Nominations
|
|
|
|
Acadias certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain no
restrictions on nominations for directors by stockholders and do
not require any advance notice for nominations or other business
to be properly brought by a stockholder before a stockholders
meeting.
|
|
To be timely under PHCs bylaws, advance written notice of
a stockholder proposals, including a stockholders
nomination of a person to serve as a director of PHC, must be
delivered to the secretary of PHC at its principal executive
offices not less than 120 days prior to the date of the
corporations proxy statement released to stockholders in
connection with the previous years annual meeting of
stockholders.
|
Appraisal/Dissenters Rights
|
|
|
|
Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a Delaware corporation who has
not voted in favor of, nor
|
|
The MBCA provides that dissenters right of appraisal are
only available in connection with
|
186
|
|
|

|
|
PHC
|
|
consented in writing to, a merger or consolidation in which the
corporation is participating generally has the right to an
appraisal of the fair value of the stockholders shares of
stock, subject to specified procedural requirements. The DGCL
does not confer appraisal rights, however, if the
corporations stock is either (1) listed on a national
securities exchange or (2) held of record by more than
2,000 holders.
Even if a corporations stock meets the foregoing
requirements, however, the DGCL provides that appraisal rights
generally will be permitted if stockholders of the corporation
are required to accept for their stock in any merger or
consolidation anything other than(1) shares of the
corporation surviving or resulting from the transaction, or
depository receipts representing shares of the surviving or
resulting corporation, or those shares or depository receipts
plus cash in lieu of fractional interests;(2) shares of any
other corporation, or depository receipts representing shares of
the other corporation, or those shares or depository receipts
plus cash in lieu of fractional interests, which shares or
depository receipts are listed on a national securities exchange
or held of record by more than 2,000 holders; or(3) any
combination of the foregoing.
|
|
(1) mergers if stockholder approval is required or if the
corporation is a subsidiary that is merged with its parent,
unless stockholders are receiving only cash or marketable
securities as consideration, so long as no director, officer or
controlling stockholder has a direct or indirect financial
interest in the merger other than in their capacities as such;
(2) share exchanges to which the corporation is a party as the
corporation whose shares will be acquired and the shares being
received are not marketable securities, so long as no director,
officer or controlling stockholder has a direct or indirect
financial interest in the merger other than in their capacities
as such; (3) sales of substantially all of the assets (other
than certain redemptions, dissolutions, liquidations and court-
ordered sales); (4) certain amendments to the articles of
organization that materially and adversely affect rights in
respect of a dissenters shares; and (5) certain corporate
conversions.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
|
|
Duties of Directors
|
|
|
|
Under the DGCL, the standards of conduct for directors are
governed by court case law.
Generally, directors of Delaware corporations are subject to a
duty of loyalty and a duty of care. The duty of loyalty requires
directors to refrain from self-dealing and the duty of care
requires directors in managing the corporate affairs to use that
level of care which ordinarily careful and prudent persons would
use in similar circumstances. When directors act consistently
with their duties of loyalty and care, their decisions generally
are presumed to be valid under the business judgment rule.
|
|
Under the MBCA, a Massachusetts director is required to
discharge his or her duties: (1) in good faith; (2) with the
care that a person in a like position would reasonably believe
appropriate under similar circumstances; and (3) in a manner the
director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the
corporation.
In
determining what the director reasonably believes to be in the
best interests of the corporation, directors are permitted to
consider:
the interests of the
corporations employees, suppliers, creditors and
customers;
the economy of the state, region and
nation;
the community and societal
considerations; and
the long-term and short-term interests
of the corporation and its stockholders, including the
possibility that these interests may be best served by the
continued independence of the corporation.

Number of Directors
|
|
|
|
Delaware law provides that the board of directors of a Delaware
corporation shall consist of one or more directors as fixed by
the corporations certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
Acadias certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide
that the number of directors shall be determined by a resolution
of the majority of the directors or stockholders at the annual
meeting of stockholders. Acadia currently has five directors.
|
|
The MBCA provides that the board of directors of a Massachusetts
corporation shall consist of one or more directors as specified
or fixed by the corporations articles of organization or
bylaws. PHCs articles of organization provide that the
number of directors will be not less than five, two of which
shall be elected by the holders of Class A Common Stock voting
as a class, and the remainder shall be elected by the holders of
Class B Common Stock voting as a class. PHC currently has six
directors.
|
Classification
|
|
|
|
Delaware law permits, but does not require, a Delaware
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation or in
a stockholder adopted bylaw or initial bylaw for a classified
board of directors, dividing the board of directors into up to
three classes of directors with staggered terms of office.
Acadias certificate of incorporation provides that the
directors of Acadia are divided into three classes
(Class I, Class II and Class III) as nearly
equal in size as practicable. The term of office of
Class I, Class II and Class III directors will
expire at Acadias annual meetings in 2012, 2013 and 2014,
respectively. At each annual election of directors, the
directors chosen to succeed those whose terms have then expired
are identified as being of the same class as the directors they
succeed and are elected for a term expiring at the third
succeeding annual election of directors.
|
|
Massachusetts law permits, but does not require, a Massachusetts

therein) no longer beneficially own at least 17.5% of the
outstanding common stock of the Acadia, a director may be
removed at any time, either for or without cause, only upon
either (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty
percent (80%) of the voting power of the capital stock of Acadia
outstanding and entitled to vote thereon or (b) if such
director is being removed at the request of the person(s)
entitled to designate such director in accordance with the

director may be removed from office only for cause and only by
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of
the voting power of the capital stock of Acadia outstanding and
entitled to vote thereon.
|
|
|
Vacancies
|
|
|
|
Acadias certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide
that vacancies among directors, however occurring, are to be
filled by the vote of the majority of the remaining directors
then in office. The directors so chosen will hold office until
the next succeeding annual meeting and until their successors
are elected or qualified.
|
|
The MBCA and PHCs bylaws provide that in the event of
vacancies in the board, such vacancy may be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors (even
though less than a quorum) or by a majority of the class of
stockholders which elected the director whose office has been
vacated. Directors so chosen will hold office until the next
annual meeting and their successors are elected or qualified.
|
Special Meetings of the Board
|
|
|
|
Special meetings of the board of directors may be held at any
time and place, within or outside the State of Delaware,
designated by the President on his own behalf or at the request
of two or more directors or one director in the event that there
is only one director in office.
|
|
PHCs bylaws provide that special meetings of the board of
directors may be called at any time by the President, Secretary
or by any director.
|
Director Liability and Indemnification
|
Under Delaware law, a certificate of incorporation may contain a
provision limiting or eliminating a directors personal
liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for a directors breach of fiduciary duty subject
to certain limitations.
|
|
As permitted under the MBCA, PHCs articles of organization
provide that directors shall not be personally liable to PHC or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty except for liability:
|
|
|
|
Acadias certificate of incorporation provides that no
director shall be personally liable to Acadia or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
by such director as a director, except with respect to
liability:
for any breach of the directors
duty of loyalty to Acadia or its stockholders;
for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law;
under Section 174 of the DGCL;
or
for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
Pursuant to DGCL, a corporation may indemnify any person who was
or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason
of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such
|
|
(i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders;
(ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii)
for improper distributions under the MBCA; or
(iv)
for any transaction in which the director derived an
improper benefit.
Under
the MBCA, a corporation may indemnify directors and officers
if:
the individual conducted him or
herself in good faith;
the individual reasonably believed that
his or her conduct was in the best interests of the corporation
or that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation; and
with respect to any criminal proceeding,
to the
|
189
|
|
|

|
|
PHC
|
|
corporation, or serving at the request of such corporation in
such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of such corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
|
|
extent the individual had no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful.
Under the MBCA, a corporation is required to indemnify a
director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she
was a party because he or she was a director of the corporation
against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection
with the proceeding.
|
The DGCL also permits indemnification by a corporation under
similar circumstances for expenses (including attorneys
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in
connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit
by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to such corporation unless
the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which such court shall deem proper.
|
|
|
To the extent a present or former director or officer is
successful in the defense of such an action, suit or proceeding,
the corporation is required by the DGCL to indemnify such person
for actual and reasonable expenses incurred thereby.
|
|
|
Expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by an officer
or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may
be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay
such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is
not entitled to be so indemnified. Such expenses (including
attorneys fees) incurred by former directors and officers
or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons
serving at the request of the corporation as directors,
officers, employees or agents of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so
paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation
deems appropriate.
|
|
|
The DGCL provides that the indemnification described above shall
not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a
|
|
|
190
|
|
|
Acadia
|
|
PHC
|
|
corporation pursuant to its by-laws, disinterested
directors vote, shareholders vote, and agreement or
otherwise.
|
|
|
The DGCL also provides corporations with the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar
capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted
against him or her and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether
or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or
her against such liability as described above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acadias certificate of incorporation authorizes Acadia to
indemnify directors and officers through bylaw provisions or
agreements with directors and officers. Acadias bylaws
provides for the indemnification of directors and officers to
the fullest extent authorized under Delaware law. Acadias
bylaws also provide for advancement of expenses to its directors
and officers upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or
officer to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
|
|
The MBCA also permits a corporation to advance to a director or
officer reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any
proceeding arising because he or she is a director or officer of
the corporation, subject to the receipt of a written undertaking
by the director or officer to repay any funds advanced if he or
she is not entitled to mandatory indemnification and if it is
ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the relevant
standard of conduct.
PHCs articles of organization provide that PHC shall
indemnify each director and officer against judgments, fines and
expenses incurred in connection with any claim made by reason of
his or her having been a director or officer of PHC. PHCs
articles of organization also provide that no indemnification
will be provided if a final adjudication determines that the
indemnified person is not entitled to indemnification.
|
|
|
As
permitted by the MBCA, PHCs articles of organization
provide for payment of expenses incurred by a director or
officer in defending an action in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding, but only if the director or
officer undertakes to repay the amount if it is ultimately
determined that indemnification of such expenses is not
authorized by PHCs articles of organization.

certificate of incorporation or by action of its board of
directors, any interest or expectancy of the corporation in, or
in being offered an opportunity to participate in, specified
business opportunities or specified classes or categories of
business opportunities that are presented to the corporation or
one of its officers, directors or stockholders. Acadias

(C) make investments in competing businesses of Acadia or

affiliates and related persons shall not be liable to Acadia,
its stockholders or its Subsidiaries for breach of any duty
(contractual or otherwise), including without limitation

Persons participation therein; and (iv) in the event
that Waud Capital Partners or certain of its affiliates or
related persons acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or
matter that may be a corporate opportunity for Acadia or its
Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Waud Capital Partners or
certain of its affiliates or related persons, on the other hand,
or any other Person, Waud Capital Partners and such affiliates
and related persons shall not have any duty (contractual or

communicate, present or offer such corporate opportunity to
Acadia or its Subsidiaries and shall not be liable to Acadia,
its stockholders or its Subsidiaries for breach of any duty

affiliates, owns, or if the person is an affiliate of the
corporation and did own within the last three years, 15% or more
of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, within three

which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder;
upon completion of the transaction that
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder,

NON-BINDING
VOTE REGARDING CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENTS
PHC has entered into a change in control arrangement with
Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and Ms. Wurts. The
arrangement calls for these officers, in the event of a change
in control, to receive payment of their average annual salary

PHC is requesting the PHC stockholders approval, on a
non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation payable to the
PHC executive officers in connection with the merger and
therefore is asking stockholders to adopt the following
resolution:
RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be paid or become
payable to the PHC named executive officers in connection with
the merger, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of
Regulation S-K
and the agreements or understandings pursuant to which such
compensation may be paid or become payable, are hereby
APPROVED.
The vote on this Proposal 2 is a vote separate and apart
from the vote on Proposal 1 to approve the merger
agreement. Accordingly, you may vote to approve Proposal 1
on the merger agreement and vote not to approve Proposal 2
on executive compensation and vice versa. Because the vote is
advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on either PHC or
Acadia regardless of whether the merger agreement is approved.
Accordingly, as the compensation to be paid in connection with
the merger is contractual with the executives, regardless of the
outcome of this advisory vote, such compensation will be
payable, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, if
the merger agreement is approved.
Vote
Required for Approval
The advisory vote on the compensation to be received by the PHC
executive officers in connection with the merger will be
approved if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of PHC Class A Common Stock and the outstanding shares of
PHC Class B Common Stock (voting together, with the shares
of Class B Common Stock casting five votes for each share
held) casting votes at the special meeting, vote For
such proposal.
Recommendation
of the PHC Board of Directors
THE PHC BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
FOR PROPOSAL 2 AS TO THE APPROVAL, ON AN
ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION TO BE RECEIVED BY THE PHC
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER.
196
THE
ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
The special meeting may be adjourned to another time or place,
if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if
there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special
meeting to approve the merger agreement. The special meeting may
be adjourned from time to time to a date that is not more than
120 days after the original record date for the special
meeting.
If, at the special meeting, the number of shares of common stock
present or represented and voting in favor of the approval of
the merger agreement is not sufficient to approve that proposal,
PHC intends to move to adjourn the special meeting in order to
enable the PHC board of directors to solicit additional proxies
for the approval of the merger agreement. In that event, PHC
will ask its stockholders to vote only upon the adjournment
proposal, and not the merger proposal or the compensation
proposal.
In this proposal, PHC is asking its stockholders to authorize
the holder of any proxy solicited by the PHC board of directors
to vote in favor of granting discretionary authority to the
proxy holders, and each of them individually, to adjourn the
special meeting to another time and place for the purpose of
soliciting additional proxies. If the stockholders approve the
adjournment proposal, PHC could adjourn the special meeting and
any adjourned session of the special meeting and use the
additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the
solicitation of proxies from stockholders who have previously
voted.
Vote
Required for Approval
If the proposal to adjourn the special meeting for the purpose
of soliciting additional proxies is submitted to the
stockholders for approval, such proposal will be approved if the
holders of a majority of the outstanding PHC Class A common
shares and the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock
(voting together, with the holders of shares of Class B
Common Stock casting five votes for each share held) casting
votes at the special meeting, vote For such
proposal, regardless of whether there is a quorum.
Recommendation
of the PHC Board of Directors
THE PHC BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
FOR PROPOSAL 3 AS TO THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE
MEETING IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL
PROXIES IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.
STOCKHOLDER
PROPOSALS
The proxy rules of the SEC permit stockholders, after timely
notice to issuers, to present proposals for stockholder action
in issuer proxy statements where such proposals are consistent
with applicable law, pertain to matters appropriate for
stockholder action and are not properly omitted by issuer action
in accordance with the proxy rules. In the event the merger is
not consummated prior to the time of PHCs 2011 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, PHC stockholders may submit proposals
and nominations of directors to be considered for inclusion in
PHCs 2011 proxy materials. In order to be timely, such PHC
stockholder proposals and nominations were required to be
received by PHC at its principal office, 200 Lake Street,
Suite 102, Peabody, Massachusetts 01960, Attention: Paula
C. Wurts, Clerk, not later than June 30, 2011 for inclusion
in the proxy statement for that meeting. PHC stockholders are
also advised to review PHCs Bylaws, which contain
additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder
proposals and director nominations.
INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
In accordance with the provisions in Acadias amended and
restated bylaws, Acadia will indemnify each person who was or is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
otherwise involved in any actual or threatened action, suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director or officer of Acadia or, while a director or officer of
Acadia, is or was serving at the request of Acadia as an
employee or agent of Acadia or as a director, officer, partner,
member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited
liability company, trust or other enterprise, to the full extent
permitted by law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and
controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Exchange Act and is, therefore,
197
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, we
will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Description
of the Business
|
Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC (hereinafter referred to as
Acadia or the Company) was formed on October 24, 2005 as a
limited liability company under the provisions of the Delaware
Limited Liability Act (the Act). The Company is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC (hereafter
referred to as Holdings or the Member). The Companys
principal business is to develop and operate acute psychiatric
hospitals (IPF), residential treatment centers (RTC) and
substance abuse facilities to better serve the behavioral health
and recovery needs of the communities throughout the United
States.
The business of the Company is conducted through limited
liability companies and C corporations, each of which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation
of our financial position and results of operations have been
included. The Companys fiscal year ends on December 31 and
interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a
full year or any other interim period. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been
derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
The information contained in these condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting standards requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
|
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Accounting Standards Update ASU
No. 2010-06,
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements (ASU
2010-06).
ASU 2010-06
amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic
820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(ASC Topic 820) to require a number of additional
disclosures regarding fair value measurements, including the
requirement that companies disclose the amounts of significant
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers. ASU
2010-06 also
provided clarification on the requirement that companies are
required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each
class of assets and liabilities. Certain provisions of this
guidance were effective for the first quarter 2010 and certain
provisions are effective for the first quarter 2011. This
guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU
2010-28,
Intangible Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
When to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for
reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.
This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the
test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or
negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a
goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors,
resulting in the elimination of an entitys ability to
assert that such a reporting units goodwill is not
impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the
existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. These
changes became

effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The
adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU
2010-29,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of
supplementary pro forma information for business
combinations. This update changes the disclosure of
pro forma information for business combinations. These changes
clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial
statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of
the combined entity as though the business combination that
occurred during the current year had occurred as of the
beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.
Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosure
requirements were expanded to include a description of the
nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma
adjustments directly attributable to the business combination
included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. These
changes became effective for the Company beginning
January 1, 2011 and have been reflected in the notes to
these consolidated financial statements.
2011
Acquisition
On April 1, 2011, the Company acquired 100 percent of
the equity interests of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc.
(YFCS). YFCS operates 13 residential treatment facilities across
the United States. The preliminary value of the total
consideration transferred is approximately $178,157,000, which
represents the cash consideration paid at closing. The
preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to
revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional
information related to the fair value of property and equipment
and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes
available, is as follows:

To assist in financing the acquisition of YFCS, the Company
entered into a new credit facility consisting of a term loan of
$135,000,000 and a revolving credit facility of $30,000,000. On
April 1, 2011, $10,000,000 was drawn on the revolving
credit facility as part of the funding of the YFCS acquisition.
Also in connection with the YFCS acquisition, the Company
received approximately $52,544,000 as equity investment from
Holdings.

Acadia was formed as a limited liability company (LLC). Some of
Acadias subsidiaries are organized as LLCs and others as
C-corporations. The Company has elected, where applicable, that
all such entities be taxed as flow-through entities and as such,
the results of operations of the Company related to the
flow-through entities are included in the income tax returns of
its members. Accordingly, taxable income of the Company is the
direct obligation of the Member. Management is not aware of any
course of action or series of events that have occurred that
might adversely affect the Companys flow-through tax
status.
Some of the Companys subsidiaries are taxed as a
C-corporation for federal and state income taxes as the
respective subsidiary is directly liable for taxes on its
separate income. A tax provision has been provided for

income taxes that are the responsibility of the Company or its
subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements relating to the entities that are taxed as
C-corporations and for any taxing jurisdictions that do not
recognize an LLC as a flow-through entity.
Unaudited
Pro Forma Income Taxes
The Company has prepared and provided pro forma disclosures in
the consolidated statements of operations as if the
Companys flow through entities were taxable as
C-corporations for federal and state income tax purposes. The
pro forma income tax expense was $512,794 for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and is based on statutory income tax
rates.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
We are, from time to time, subject to various claims and legal
actions that arise in the ordinary course of our business,
including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical
malpractice, breach of contract, business tort and employment
related claims. In these actions, plaintiffs request a variety
of damages, including, in some instances, punitive and other
types of damages that may not be covered by insurance. In the
opinion of management, we are not currently a party to any
proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid
programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company
believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened
investigations involving allegations or wrongdoing. While no
such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such
laws and regulations can be subject to future government review
and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action
including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare
program.
Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party
payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the
related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods
as final settlements are determined. Final determination of
amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often
occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs,
rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical
provisions. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has
been made for any adjustments and final
F-10

Statements (Continued)
settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such
adjustments and final settlements will not have a material
effect on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.
In connection with the YFCS merger, the Company recognized
approximately $6,146,000 of share based compensation on
April 1, 2011.
On May 13, 2011, the Company was converted to a
C-corporation registered as Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. As a
result of the conversion to a C-corporation, all of the
Companys 100 outstanding membership units were converted
to 100 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company,
Inc.
On May 20, 2011, the new C-corporation underwent a stock
split by means of a stock dividend of 100,000 shares of
common stock for each share of common stock outstanding on
May 20, 2011 such that 10,000,000 shares of common
stock were issued and outstanding on such date. The accompanying
consolidated statements of operations disclose earnings per
share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
giving effect to the stock split.
On May 23, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive
merger agreement with PHC, Inc., d/b/a Pioneer Behavioral Health
(PHC), a publicly-held behavioral health services company based
in Massachusetts. Upon completion of the merger, the
Companys stockholders will own approximately 77.5% of the
combined company and PHCs stockholders will own
approximately 22.5% of the combined company.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as
of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, members equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC and
subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

Description
of the Business
|
Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC (hereinafter referred to as
Acadia or the Company) was formed on October 24, 2005 as a
limited liability company under the provisions of the Delaware
Limited Liability Act (the Act). The Company is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC (hereafter
referred to as Holdings or the Member). The Companys
principal business is to develop and operate acute psychiatric
hospitals (IPF), residential treatment centers (RTC) and
substance abuse facilities to better serve the behavioral health
and recovery needs of the communities throughout the United
States.
|
|

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis
of Presentation
The business of the Company is conducted through limited
liability companies and C corporations, each of which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting standards requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including estimates
for uncollectible patient receivables, estimates of amounts
receivable and payable to third-party payors, and estimated
insurance liabilities. There is a reasonable possibility that
actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that it
mitigates any risks by depositing cash and investing in cash
equivalents with major financial institutions.
Property
and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which are generally three to thirty years,
or the term of the related lease if less than the useful life.
When assets are sold or retired, the corresponding cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts
and any gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010,
2009 and 2008, was approximately $868,000, $865,000 and
$708,000, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of medical and other supplies and is valued
at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the
first-in,
first-out method.
Net
Patient Service Revenue
Net patient service revenue is derived from services rendered to
patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care,
outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment
and includes revenue payable by the Medicare Program (Medicare)
administered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS), Medicaid

Programs, commercial insurance (in network and out of network),
and other payors including individual patients. Revenue is
recorded at the time services are provided.
Patient service revenue is recorded at established billing rates
less contractual adjustments. Contractual adjustments are
recorded to state patient service revenue at the amount expected
to be collected for the service provided based on amounts
reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid under provisions of cost or
prospective reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other
third-party payors at contractually determined rates.
The Company receives payments for services rendered from federal
and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid Programs),
commercial insurance companies (in network and out of network),
and other payors including individual patients. The majority of
its reimbursement is from Medicare and Medicaid.

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party
payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the
related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods
as final settlements are determined. Final determination of
amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often
occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs,
rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical
provisions. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has
been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However,
there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final
settlements will not have a material effect on the
Companys financial position or results of operations.
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid
programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company
believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened
investigations involving allegations or wrongdoing. While no
such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such
laws and regulations can be subject to future government review
and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action
including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare
program.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company receives payments for services rendered from federal
and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs),
commercial insurance companies (in network and out of network),
and other payors including individual patients. The Company
extends credit to its patients and does not require collateral.
The Company does not charge interest on accounts receivable.
The Company does not believe that there are any significant
concentrations of revenues from any particular payor that would
subject it to any significant credit risks in the collection of
its accounts receivable. Estimated provisions for doubtful
accounts are recorded to the extent it is probable that a
portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. In
evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable, the
Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the
accounts, historical collection experience, current economic
conditions, and other relevant factors.

Income
Taxes
Acadia was formed as a limited liability company (LLC). Some of
Acadias subsidiaries are organized as LLCs and others as
C-corporations. The Company has elected, where applicable, that
all such entities be taxed as flow-through entities and as such,
the results of operations of the Company related to the
flow-through entities are included in the income tax returns of
its members. Accordingly, taxable income of the Company is the
direct obligation of the Member. Management is not aware of any
course of action or series of events that have occurred that
might adversely affect the Companys flow-through tax
status.
Some of the Companys subsidiaries are taxed as a
C-corporation for federal and state income taxes as the
respective subsidiary is directly liable for taxes on its
separate income. A tax provision has been provided for income
taxes that are the responsibility of the Company or its
subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements relating to the entities that are taxed as
C-corporations and for any taxing jurisdictions that do not
recognize an LLC as a flow-through entity.
Unaudited
Pro Forma Income Taxes
The Company has prepared and provided pro forma disclosures in
the consolidated statements of operations as if the
Companys flow through entities were taxable as
C-corporations for federal and state income tax purposes. The
pro forma income tax expense was $2,448,357 for the year ended
December 31, 2010 and is based on statutory income tax
rates.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated
$210,000, $208,000 and $92,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
Professional
Liabilities Insurance
Loss provisions for professional liability claims are based upon
independent actuarial estimates of future amounts that will be
paid to claimants. These estimates include consideration of
historical Company specific and general psychiatric industry
claims experience, as well as future estimated claims payment
patterns.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
The Company has recorded goodwill for the excess of the purchase
price of its acquisitions over the fair value of identifiable
tangible net assets acquired, including other identified
intangible assets. The Company recognizes specifically
identifiable intangibles when a specific right or contract is
acquired. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lessor of the underlying
contractual or estimated useful lives.
The Companys goodwill and other indefinite-lived
intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually in its
fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events indicate that
the asset may be impaired. Such evaluation includes comparing
the fair value of the asset with its carrying value. If the fair
value of the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is
recognized in an amount equal to the differences. During the
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company
performed its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of
2010 and 2009, and did not incur an impairment charge.
Long-Lived
Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
The carrying values of long-lived and finite lived intangible
assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If this review indicates that the asset will not be
recoverable, as determined based upon the undiscounted cash
flows of the operating asset over the remaining amortization
period, the carrying value of the asset will be reduced to its
fair value.

Fair
Values of Financial Instruments
In September 2006, FASB issued No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, or SFAS No. 157, which has been codified
into Accounting Standards Codification 825 (ASC
825), Financial Instruments. This guidance, among other
things, established a framework for measuring fair value and
required supplemental disclosures about fair value measurements.
The changes resulting from the application of this new
accounting pronouncement primarily relate to the definition of
fair value and the methods used to measure fair value. This
guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. However, the FASB subsequently deferred
this guidance for one year insofar as it relates to certain
non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2008,
except for the provisions relating to non-financial assets and
liabilities that are not required or permitted to be recognized
or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of
this guidance for financial assets and liabilities that are
carried at fair value on a recurring basis did not have a
material impact on our financial position or results of
operations. Non-financial assets and liabilities include:
(i) those items measured at fair value in goodwill
impairment testing; (ii) tangible and intangible long-lived
assets measured at fair value for impairment testing; and
(iii) those items initially measured at fair value in a
business combination. The portion of this guidance that defers
the effective date for one year for certain non-financial assets
and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value, except
those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis, was implemented
January 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have
a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations.
Financial
Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification 825 (ASC 825),
Financial Instruments (formerly Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107), requires certain disclosures
regarding the estimated fair values of financial instruments.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, net accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected
in the consolidated financial statements approximate their
estimated fair values due to their short-term nature.
Earnings
Per Unit
Basic and diluted earnings per unit are calculated in accordance
with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (formerly
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share) using the
weighted-average units outstanding in each period, which
represents the 100 units held by Holdings for all periods
presented, adjusted to retroactively reflect the
100,000-for-one
stock split that was effected by means of a stock dividend on
May 20, 2011.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy
of Generally Accepted Accounting Principle, which has been
codified into Accounting Standards Codification 105,
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This guidance
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
Codification) as the single source of authoritative,
nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification did not change
U.S. GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents were
superseded and all other accounting literature not included in
the Codification is considered non-authoritative. This guidance
is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company has adopted
this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2009. The
adoption did not have a significant impact on its results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which has been
codified into Accounting Standards Codification 820 (ASC
820), Financial Instruments. This
F-20
Acadia
Healthcare Company, LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. This guidance also establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons
between entities that choose different measurement attributes
for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains
and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected
would be reported in earnings. The Company has adopted this
guidance and has elected not to measure any additional financial
instruments and other items at fair value.
Purchase
Method of Accounting for Acquisitions
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business
Combinations, which has been codified into Accounting
Standards Codification 805 (ASC 805). This guidance
retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but
requires a number of changes, including changes in the way
assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting
as well as requiring the expensing of acquisition-related costs
as incurred. Additionally, it provides guidance for recognizing
and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination
and determines what information to disclose to enable users of
the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination. Furthermore, this guidance
requires any adjustments to acquired deferred tax assets and
liabilities occurring after the related allocation period to be
made through earnings for both acquisitions occurring prior and
subsequent to its effective date. The Company adopted
ASC 805 on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption was
prohibited. The adoption of this guidance, prospectively, may
have a material effect on the Companys results of
operations and financial position, to the extent that it has
material acquisitions, as costs that have historically been
capitalized as part of the purchase price will now be expensed,
such as accounting, legal and other professional fees.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred and
approximated $849,000 and $204,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Non-controlling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of
ARB No. 51, which has been codified into Accounting
Standards Codification 810 (ASC 810),
Consolidation. This guidance establishes accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and
clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, this guidance changes the way the consolidated
income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net
income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest
and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parents owners and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary, including a
reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the
equity attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling owners
and a schedule showing the effects of changes in a parents
ownership interest in a subsidiary on the equity attributable to
the parent.
This guidance does not change the provisions of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements, which has also been codified into ASC 810,
Consolidation, related to consolidation purposes or
consolidation policy, or the requirement that a parent
consolidate all entities in which it has a controlling financial
interest. This guidance does, however, amend certain of
consolidation procedures to make them consistent with the
requirements of ASC Topic 805 as well as to provide definitions
for certain terms and to clarify some terminology. This guidance
was effective on January 1, 2009 for the Company. Earlier
adoption was prohibited. This guidance must be applied
prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it
is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure
requirements, which must be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material impact on the Companys results of operations,
cash flows or financial position.

Determination
of Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP
No. 142-3,
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,
which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification
350 (ASC 350), Intangibles Goodwill
and Other. This guidance is intended to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, as codified into ASC 350, and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of
the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), as codified into
ASC 805, Business Combination, when the underlying
arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would
require substantial costs or result in a material modification
to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider
their historical experience in renewing or extending similar
arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must
consider assumptions that market participants would use about
renewal or extension as adjusted for ASC 350s
entity-specific factors. This guidance is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
Convertible
Debt Instruments
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP, No. APB
14-1,
Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be
Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement), which has been codified into Accounting
Standards Codification 470 (ASC 470), Debt.
This guidance specifies that issuers of certain convertible debt
instruments must separately account for the liability and equity
components thereof and reflect interest expense at the
entitys market rate of borrowing for non-convertible debt
instruments. This guidance is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption
was not permitted. This guidance requires retrospective
application to all periods presented in the annual financial
statements for the period of adoption and where applicable
instruments were outstanding during an earlier period. The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on
periods prior to those presented shall be recognized as of the
beginning of the first period presented. An offsetting
adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of retained
earnings for that period, presented separately. The adoption of
this guidance did not have a material impact on the
Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial
position.
Fair
Value Measurements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP
No. FAS 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity
for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, which has
been codified into ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures. This guidance provides additional direction for
estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for
the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This
guidance also includes direction on identifying circumstances
that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance
emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in
the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and
regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of
a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction, not a forced
liquidation or distressed sale, between market participants at
the measurement date under current market conditions. This
guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively.
The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on
the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent
Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events, which has been codified into
Accounting Standards Codification 855 (ASC 855).
This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for
and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued. The Company adopted
this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Recent
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the
disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring
fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures
on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1
(quoted prices in active market for identical assets or
liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable
inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the
reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the
guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases,
sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities
measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3
fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the
Company with the reporting period beginning January 1,
2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities
for Level 3 fair value measurements, which became effective
with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. This
new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition
that became effective for the Company beginning January 1,
2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on
arrangements that include software elements, tangible products
that have software components that are essential to the
functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within
the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and
software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant
revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued
guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that
are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition
guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective
evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an
arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling
price is required to separate deliverables and allocate
arrangement consideration using the relative selling price
method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on
how the application of the relative selling price method affects
the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The adoption of
this new guidance will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the consolidation of
variable interest entities, which is effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 2011. The new guidance requires
revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable
interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such
entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. The
adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting
pronouncements and believes none will have any material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.
2008
Acquisition
On September 15, 2008, the Company acquired certain assets
of RiverWoods Psychiatric Center, a 65-bed psychiatric hospital

price was approximately $2,600,000 and cash received was
approximately $400,000 for a net purchase price of approximately
$2,200,000. In addition the Company may have to pay an
additional $949,000 (earn-out payments) if certain earnings
levels are achieved during the first three years. The estimated
the fair value of earn-out payments at the date of the
acquisition was approximately $713,000 based upon expected
earnings of Acadiana. The Company incurred transaction costs of
approximately $63,000, which were expensed as incurred. Assets
acquired included personal property and intangible assets such

The terms of the formation of Holdings were specified by its
limited liability company agreement (the Agreement). The
Agreement provided for the issuance of membership units
comprised of Preferred Units, Class A Units, Class B
Units, and Class C Units. In August 2009, the Agreement was
amended and revised (the Amended Agreement). Under the Amended
Agreement: Preferred Units were reauthorized as Class A
Preferred Units; Class A Units were reauthorized as
Class A Common Units; Class B Units were reauthorized
as Class B Common Units; Class B Preferred Units were
authorized and Class C Units were no longer authorized.
Each holder of Class A Common Units is entitled to one vote
per unit. Class A Preferred, Class B Preferred and
Class B Common Units are not accorded voting rights. Except
as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement, the
liability of the members is generally limited to their initial
capital contributions. Holdings and the Company will continue
indefinitely unless dissolved by a vote of the Board of
Managers, a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up
F-26
Acadia

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
of Holdings or the Company, or judicial dissolution in
accordance with the Act. The death, retirement, expulsion,
withdrawal, bankruptcy, or dissolution of any member will not
cause the dissolution of Holdings or the Company.
The affairs and the business of Holdings and the Company are
managed by a Board of Managers, except in instances where the
approval of the members is expressly required by law. The Board
of Managers is comprised of six managers.
Three managers, including the Chairman of the Board of Managers,
are designated by the Majority Holder of the Preferred
Class A Units and the Class A Common Units (Majority
Holder).
Acadias Chief Executive Officer (CEO) also serves as a
manager and the remaining two managers are outside managers with
significant industry experience designated by the Majority
Holder with the approval of the CEO.
Members holding Preferred Class A Units hold certain
preferences in the event the Company is liquidated and are
entitled to an annual return of 10% on the Preferred
Class A capital balance plus any unpaid preferred returns
from previous periods. Cumulative accrued returns approximated
$14,511,000, $9,679,000 and $5,312,000 at December 31,
2010,a 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Approximately 1,000 Class B Preferred Units, 3,650
Class A Common Units and 25,000 Class B Common Units
have been reserved for issuance to certain employees of Holdings
as of December 31, 2010. The Class B Preferred Units
and Class B Common Units vest upon a qualified change in
control (as defined in the Amended Agreement) of the Holdings.
On August 31, 2009, the Company issued 247,005 and 249,500
Class A Preferred Units and Class A Common Units,
respectively, to the Majority Holders in exchange for an
aggregate commitment to contribute capital of $24,950,000.
On January 4, 2010, certain members of senior management of
the Company purchased 3,650 Class A Preferred Units and
3,650 Class A Common Units. The Company loaned the members
of management the funds necessary to purchase these units
pursuant to a three year recourse secured note bearing interest
at 8% annually. Since these units contain certain repurchase
provisions, they are accounted for as liability awards. The
Company also issued 1,000 Class B Preferred Units and
19,000 Class B Common Units to senior management which only
vest upon the occurrence of a certain qualified change in
control. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010 none of the
Class B Preferred Units and none of the Class B Common
Units held by management were vested. The fair value of
managements Class A Preferred Units and Class A
Common Units at December 31, 2010 was approximately
$607,000. The fair value of managements
Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units at
December 31, 2010 was approximately $5,907,000. There were
no cancellations and no forfeitures on: (1) the
Class A Preferred Units; (2) the Class A Common
Units; (3) the Class B Preferred Units; and
(4) the Class B Common Units. On April 1, 2011,
in connection with the merger with YFCS, the vesting of the
Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units was
accelerated. The Class A Preferred Units, Class A
Common Units, Class B Preferred Units, and Class B
Common Units were exchanged for 5,650 new Class A units,
5,650 new Class B units, and $861,758 in cash. As a result,
the Company recognized approximately $6,146,000 of share based
compensation on April 1, 2011.
Members of Holdings made contributions of $2,500,000 and
$10,395,000 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively. No contributions were made by members during
the year ended December 31, 2010.

Concentrations
of Credit Risk
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of patient
accounts receivable. Should government agencies suspend or
significantly reduce contributions to the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) program, the Companys ability
to collect on its receivables would be adversely affected. The
Companys exposure to credit risk with respect to its
remaining receivables is limited due to the large number of
payors and their geographic dispersion.
F-27
Acadia
Healthcare Company, LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which,
at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Acadia has not
experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it
is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash
equivalents.

Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the respective asset. The
Companys Medicare licenses and their Certificate of Need
have indefinite lives and are therefore also not subject to
amortization.
The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets
subject to amortization are as followings (in years):

Leases
The Company is obligated under certain operating leases to rent
space for its IPF and RTC facilities and other office space. The
terms of the leases range from five to ten years, with optional
renewal periods. The Companys building lease for Lafayette
contains a fair market value purchase option exercisable under
certain conditions during the lease terms.
Aggregate minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating
leases with original or remaining lease terms in excess of one
year are as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the
Company incurred rental expense, in the aggregate, under all of
its operating leases of approximately $1,287,668, $884,936 and
$851,723, respectively.
Insurance
Prior to July 1, 2009, the Company maintained commercial
insurance coverage on an occurrence basis for workers
compensation claims with no deductible. Effective July 1,
2009, the Company maintains commercial insurance coverage on an
occurrence basis with a $250,000 deductible per claim and
$1 million per claim limit. The Company maintains
commercial insurance coverage on a claims-made basis for general
and professional liability claims with a $50,000 deductible and
$1 million per claim limit and an aggregate limit of
$3 million with excess umbrella coverage for an additional
$7 million.
The accrued insurance liabilities included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets include estimates of the ultimate
costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but not
reported through December 31, 2010. In the opinion of
management, adequate provision has been made for losses that may
occur from the asserted and unasserted claims.
The healthcare industry in general continues to experience an
increase in the frequency and severity of litigation and claims.
As is typical in the healthcare industry, the Company could be
subject to claims that its services have resulted in patient
injury or other adverse effects. In addition, resident, visitor
and employee injuries could also subject the Company to the risk
of litigation. While the Company believes that quality care is
provided to patients in its facilities and that it materially
complies with all applicable regulatory requirements, an adverse
determination in a legal proceeding or government investigation
could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial condition.

Employee
Benefit Plan
|
The Company maintains a qualified defined contribution 401(k)
plan covering substantially all of its employees. The Company
may, at its discretion, make contributions to the plan. For the
years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company
contributed approximately $102,000, 89,000 and 105,000,
respectively, to the 401(k) plan.

Related-Party
Transactions
|
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Majority Holder is
entitled to receive advisory, financing, and transaction fees
for services rendered to the Company.
Advisory fees represent management consulting services rendered
to the Company and totaled $550,000, $500,000, and $450,000, for
the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Financing fees represent services rendered in assisting the
Company with negotiating, arranging and structuring certain
financing transactions. The Majority Holder was entitled to
Financing Fees of $0, $0 and $10,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
Majority Holder was also entitled to a transaction fee of
approximately $1 million upon the date of its initial
contribution to the Company and an additional $1 million
payment upon the date of the amended and restated LLC Agreement.
The Majority Holder was entitled to a restructuring fee of
$480,000 upon the date of the amended and restated LLC
Agreement. The Majority Holder has irrevocably waived payment of
any advisory, financing, transaction and restructuring fees from
inception of the Company through December 31, 2010 (the
Waived Fees). These Waived Fees are subject to a 10% return
until paid. Aggregate cumulative Waived Fees approximated
$6,590,000 and $5,433,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Through December 31, 2009, Acadia contracted for certain
services (the Purchased Services) from Regency Hospital Company,
LLC (Regency), a company in which the Majority Holder previously
held a majority of the membership units. Fees incurred for the
Purchased Services provided by Regency were based upon time and
materials incurred for providing the service. For the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, Purchased Services fees
approximated $19,000 and $189,000.
Acadia was formed as a limited liability company
(LLC) which is taxed as a partnership for Federal income
tax purposes. Some of Acadias subsidiaries are organized
as LLCs and others as corporations. The Company and its
subsidiary LLCs will be taxed as flow-through entities and as
such, the results of operations of the Company related to the
flow-through entities are included in the income tax returns of
its members.
Accordingly, taxable income of the Company is the direct
obligation of the members. Management is not aware of any course
of action or series of events that have occurred that might
adversely affect the Companys flow-through tax status.
Some of the Companys subsidiaries are taxed as
C-corporations and the respective subsidiaries are directly
liable for taxes on their separate income. A tax provision has
been provided for income taxes that are the responsibility of
the Company or its subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements relating to the entities that are taxed as
C-corporations and for any taxing jurisdictions that do not
recognize an LLC as a flow-through entity.
The Company made income tax payments of $700,000 and $30,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively,
and no payments for 2008.

Based on the weight of available evidence, a valuation allowance
was provided to offset the entire net deferred tax asset as of
December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the
valuation allowance against certain subsidiaries was released,
which resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset of
$144,495. All other net deferred tax assets remain fully
reserved as of December 31, 2010.
The Companys net operating loss carry forwards as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009 are approximately
$2.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Of these
amounts approximately $1.3 million as of December 31,
2010 and 2009 is attributed to a certain acquisition. The
operating losses will expire between 2022 and 2028. Due to
changes in ownership control, net operating losses acquired are
limited to offset future income pursuant to Internal Revenue
Code Section 382.

Acadia
Healthcare Company, LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Acadia adopted the provisions of ASC Topic
740-10
formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on
January 1, 2009. The Companys policy is to recognize
interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits
as a component of income tax expense.
As a result of the implementation of this guidance, the Company
recognized no cumulative effect adjustment. The Company had
$1,050,220 and $116,897 of unrecognized income tax benefits as
of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of which
$1,005,798 was used to reduce available net operating losses.
None of the uncertain tax positions would affect the
Companys effective income tax rate if recognized. The
Company has unused U.S. federal and state NOLs for years
2002 through 2007. As such, these years remain subject to
examination by the relevant tax authorities.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
|
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company
SFAS No. 157, which has been codified into
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the
quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances
disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The
implementation of this guidance did not change the method of
calculating the fair value of assets or liabilities. The primary
impact from adoption was additional disclosures. The portion of
this guidance that defers the effective date for one year for
certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities
measured at fair value, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis, was implemented January 1, 2009, and did
not have an impact on the consolidated financial position, cash
flows or results of operations.
In October 2008, the FASB issued
FSP 157-3
Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the
Market for That Asset is Not Active, which has also been
codified into ASC 820. This guidance provides an
illustrative example to demonstrate how the fair value of a
financial asset is determined when the market for that financial
asset is inactive. This guidance was effective upon issuance.
The Company does not currently have any investments requiring
fair market valuations in inactive markets; therefore, the
adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the
consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.
The fair value hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities at
fair value into one of three different levels depending on the
observability of the inputs employed in the measurement, as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 inputs to the valuation
methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets
or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
|
Level 2 inputs to the valuation
methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and inputs are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
|
|
|
|
Level 3 inputs to the valuation
methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value
measurement.
|
The following table summarizes the financial instruments as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, which are valued at fair value:

On May 13, 2011, the Company was converted to a
C-corporation registered as Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. As a
result of the conversion to a C-corporation, all of the
Companys 100 outstanding membership units were converted
to 100 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company,
Inc.
On May 20, 2011, the new C-corporation underwent a stock
split by means of a stock dividend of 100,000 shares of
common stock for each share of common stock outstanding on
May 20, 2011 such that 10,000,000 shares of common
stock were issued and outstanding on such date. The accompanying
consolidated statements of operations disclose earnings per
share for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
giving effect to the stock split.
On May 23, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive
merger agreement with PHC, Inc., d/b/a Pioneer Behavioral Health
(PHC), a publicly-held behavioral health services company based
in Massachusetts. Upon completion of the merger, the
Companys stockholders will own approximately 77.5% of the
combined company and PHCs stockholders will own
approximately 22.5% of the combined company.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 1
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The
accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
are unaudited. In the opinion of the Companys management,
these statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal
recurring nature, necessary to fairly present our financial
position at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and
the results of our operations and cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. The
Companys fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year or any other interim period. The information contained in
these consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Companys Annual Report for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
The Company was sold on April 1, 2011(See Note 8).
New
Accounting Pronouncements:
In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU)
2010-24,
which provides clarification to companies in the healthcare
industry on the accounting for malpractice claims or similar
contingent liabilities. This ASU states that an entity that is
indemnified for these liabilities shall recognize an insurance
receivable at the same time that it recognizes the liability,
measured on the same basis as the liability, subject to the need
for a valuation allowance for uncollectible amounts. This ASU
also discusses the accounting for insurance claims costs,
including estimates of costs relating to
incurred-but-not-reported claims and the accounting for loss
contingencies. Receivables related to insurance recoveries
should not be netted against the related claim liability and
such claim liabilities should be determined without considering
insurance recoveries. This ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010 and was adopted by the
Company in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this ASU
did not have a significant impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
|
|
Note 2
|
Acquisitions
and Dispositions
|
Closed
Operations:
In a previous year, the Company determined that a psychiatric
hospital in New Mexico and a residential treatment center in
Ohio no longer provided a benefit to the Company and terminated
the operations. The continuing operating expenses for these
facilities were not significant and did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements,
for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2011.
In June 2009, the Company temporarily suspended the operations
at one of its Arizona facilities in response to the economic
crisis and related funding issues within the state, as well as,
certain environmental problems at the facility. The Company has
eliminated the environmental problem and believes the state will
take appropriate action to resolve its financial issues. With
the new directions the Company has identified in areas of
outpatient treatment care services and targeting programs that
will meet community needs and the states push for new care
alternatives, our intent is to re-open the facility, within the
next six to twelve months, at a time when the states
economic situation has improved and a strong referral base could
once again be established. The continuing operating expenses for
this facility are not significant and will not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Discontinued
Operations:
There were no discontinued operations for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2009.
In October 2010, the Company was notified by the Agency for
Health Care Administration that it was discontinuing the
Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) contract at its
Tampa Bay facility. Subsequent appeals with the Florida Medicaid
Bureau were, eventually, denied. The notice of termination which
was to be effective, on December 15, 2010, was subsequently
withdrawn as the Company voluntarily terminated the contract.
The loss of this contract generated a severe financial impact on
the facility to the extent the Company decided to terminate
operations effective December 31, 2010.
In connection with closing the facility, we recorded a charge
for impaired assets, which were, principally, two group homes,
leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment, in the
amount of, approximately, $1,100,000 and exit costs of,
approximately, $2,500,000 for the year ended December 31,
2010.

Senior
and Subordinated Debt
|
The Company has a credit agreement with a syndication of lenders
who provided the Company with up to $170.0 million. The
Credit Agreement provided for a term loan for up to
$120.0 million, expiring in July 2013 and a revolving
credit facility for up to $25.0 million, expiring in July
2012.
F-39
YOUTH AND
FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Term Loan and the Revolving Loan are guaranteed by the
Companys subsidiaries and the Company has granted a first
priority security interest in the capital stock and related
assets of those subsidiaries.
Our Senior Secured Credit Agreement requires the Company to make
additional principal payments, subject to step-down based on
total leverage levels, of the Companys defined excess cash
flow. The Company made excess cash flow payments in the amount
of approximately $1.8 million in 2011, and $13 million
in 2010, in order to remain in compliance with its debt
covenants.
The agreement provides that the Company, at its option, may
elect that all or part of the term loan and the revolving loan
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the banks applicable
Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate, as these terms are defined in
the credit agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
LIBOR Rate will be increased by an applicable margin related to
each type of loan.
The interest rates applicable to the Senior Term Loan ranged,
primarily, from 4.01% to 4.02% and 3.99% to 5.75% for the
periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee, at the rate of
0.50% per year, on the unused portion of the revolving credit
facility and, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
had no borrowings outstanding.
Senior
Unsecured Subordinated Notes:
The Company has outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes in the
amount of $31.0 million bearing interest at the rate of
12.0% per year, payable quarterly, with the principal balance
due and payable on January 19, 2014. Additionally, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 4,041,689 shares of the
Companys common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per
share having an estimated value of approximately $768,000 based
upon the fair value of the underlying common shares. The amount
allocated to the warrants has been recorded in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements as a discount on the Senior
Subordinated Notes and the amortization is included in interest
expense. The warrants shall be exercisable at any time, in whole
or part, into Common Stock of the Company prior to May 28,
2014 (the Warrant Expiration Date). The Senior
Subordinated Notes are held by funds indirectly managed by
principal shareholders of the Company.
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Senior Unsecured
Subordinated Notes contain certain restrictive covenants. These
covenants include restrictions on additional borrowings,
investments, sale of assets, capital expenditures, dividends,
sale and leaseback transactions, contingent obligations,
transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes in business
activities. The covenants also require the maintenance of
certain financial ratios regarding senior indebtedness, senior
interest and capital expenditures. At March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all
required covenants.
On April 1, 2011, in connection with the sale of the
Company, all outstanding loans were paid in full (See
Note 8).
Other
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Other financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts
approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, other current assets, current debt,
accounts payable and other current liabilities.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
Professional
Liability:
The Companys business entails an inherent risk of claims
relating to professional liability. The Company maintains
professional liability insurance, on a claims made
basis, with an option to extend the claims reporting
period and general liability insurance, on an occurrence
basis. The Company also maintains additional coverage for
claims in excess of the coverage provided by the professional
and general liability policies. The Company
F-40
YOUTH AND
FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
accrues for unknown incidents based upon the anticipated future
costs related to those potential obligations. The Company
believes that its insurance coverage is sufficient based upon
claims experience and the nature and risks of its business.
There can be no assurance that a pending or future claim or
claims will not be successful against the Company, and, if
successful, will not exceed the limits of available insurance
coverage or that such coverage will continue to be available at
acceptable costs and on favorable terms. In February 2011, the
Company entered into an agreement with its professional
liability carrier to convert the professional liability policies
for the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 policy years from Loss
Sensitive/Retrospectively Rated premium policies to Guaranteed
Cost policies. This conversion effectively buys out
the retro programs and eliminates future premium adjustments,
regardless of loss development or claims experience. The premium
for this conversion was, approximately, $2,500,000.
Legal
Proceedings:
In the ordinary course of business the Company is exposed to
various legal proceedings, claims and incidents that may lead to
claims. In managements current opinion, the outcome with
respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect
on the Companys consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. However, there can be no
assurances that, over time, certain of these proceedings will
not develop into a material event and that charges related to
these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows
in any one accounting period.
Reimbursement
and Regulatory Matters:
Laws and regulations governing the various Medicaid and state
reimbursement programs are complex and subject to
interpretation. The Company believes it is in substantial
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. However,
the Company has ongoing regulatory matters, including those
described below. Currently, management does not believe the
outcome of the compliance matters or regulatory investigations
will have a significant impact on the financial position or
operating results of the Company.
In April 2006, the Company and one of its facilities were the
recipients of a federal subpoena. The Company fully cooperated
with the U.S. Attorneys Offices investigation
and the parties worked on components of a model residential
treatment program as a resolution of the investigation. In
December 2008, the Assistant U.S. Attorney contacted the
Companys outside counsel, and informed him that the
investigation was the product of a qui tam action filed under
the Federal False Claims Act. Such cases are filed under
seal and the defendants are not notified until the
government officially intervenes in the case. In this instance,
the Court directed the government to either settle this matter
promptly, or intervene or decline to intervene, in which case
the plaintiff could still proceed on
his/her own;
and the Court partially unsealed the case, so as to let the
Company know it was the subject of a lawsuit. A settlement
agreement with the U.S. Attorneys Office was reached
on April 22, 2009, which includes facets of a model
residential treatment program; a partial re-payment of funding
in three installments of $50,000 each, with the final
installment paid in April of 2011; and various corporate
integrity provisions commonly required by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the
Inspector General. As part of the integrity provisions, an
independent review organization shall monitor the Company for
three years. The Company was notified by the
U.S. Attorneys Office on March 9, 2010 and by
the independent review organization on March 10, 2010 that
they had received complaints alleging compliance concerns which
they intended to investigate. The matters were fully
investigated internally and externally and resolved with no
material financial effects. As of January 31, 2011, the
independent review organization reported no issues of
non-compliance. In late February of 2011, outside counsel for
the Company contacted the U.S. Attorneys Office to
verbally inform the government of the impending sale of the
Company. During the call, the Assistant U.S. Attorney
mentioned that he would be sending a letter or other
communication on various matters, but he declined to indicate
the anticipated substance of the correspondence or if there were
specific concerns. The correspondence has not been received at
this time.
On August 20, 2010, the Florida Agency for Health Care
Administration (AHCA) issued an Emergency Immediate Moratorium
on Admissions to halt all residential treatment admissions due
to regulatory deficiencies.
F-41
YOUTH AND
FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Subsequently over a period of four months, AHCA issued a
moratorium on admissions for two of the group homes; filed five
administrative complaints seeking fines totaling $134,500 and
revocation of licenses; and sent a notice of termination of the
Medicaid Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) contract
with Tampa Bay Academy, effective December 15, 2010, which
was subsequently withdrawn to allow the Company to voluntarily
terminate that contract. This facility was closed on
December 31, 2010, and the case was settled for
approximately $30,000 in June 2011.

Shareholders
Equity
|
Preferred
and Common Stock:
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
375,000,000 shares of capital stock designated as follows:
(i) 270,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$.0001, of which 90,000,000 shares have been designated as
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
90,000,000 shares have been designated as Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock and
90,000,000 shares have been designated as Redeemable
Preferred Stock, and (ii) 105,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $.0001.
83,609,009 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and 85,398 shares of Common Stock were
issued and outstanding for the periods ended March 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010, respectively.
All of the Companys outstanding shares of Preferred and
Common stock are held by Company sponsors and certain of its
current and former employees.
The Companys anticipated annual effective income tax rate
is, approximately, 39.0%. The provision for income taxes differs
from the statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, permanent
differences and the effect of the valuation allowance.

Subsequent
Events
|
Material
Definitive Agreements:
On April 1, 2011, prior to the consummation of sale
referred to below, the Company declared a dividend of and
distributed 100% of the outstanding shares of the capital stock
of Oak Ridge to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of
the Company. Upon consummation of the dividend, the Company
wrote off approximately $1.4 million relating to an Oak
Ridge accrued regulatory matter.
On February 17, 2011, Youth and Family Centered Services,
Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
Merger Agreement), with Acadia Healthcare Company,
LLC, a Delaware corporation (the Parent), and
Acadia YFCS Acquisition Company, Inc., a Georgia
corporation (the Merger Co).
The Companies closed the transaction on April 1, 2011.
On April 1, 2011, upon consummation of the sale,
approximately, $84.3 million of our Senior and Subordinated
Debt was paid off and the Company expensed all remaining
deferred charges, including, deferred financing costs,
subordinated debt warrants, rating agency and lender
administrative fees in the amount of, approximately, $1,593,000.
Furthermore, on April 1, 2011, upon consummation of the
sale, the Company wrote off dividends accrued on preferred
shares in the amount of, approximately, $15,300,000 and returned
invested capital to both preferred and common shareholders in
the amount of, approximately, $4,000,000.

Executive
Employment Agreements:
In 2004, the Company entered into employments agreement with our
Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) and Chief
Financial Officer (the CFO). Such employment
agreements have been amended in connection with the Merger (the
Amendments), with the Amendments becoming effective
upon the consummation thereof.
In accordance with the appropriate guidance which establishes
general standard of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial
statements are issued or available to be issued, the
Company evaluated subsequent events through July 7, 2011,
the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
There were no other material subsequent events that required
recognition or additional disclosure in these financial
statements.

Report of
Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors of
Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit
of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc.
and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Organization
and Business:
Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. (the
Company) was incorporated in 1997 and is
headquartered in Austin, Texas. The Company is a leading
provider of behavioral healthcare, education, and long-term
support needs for abused and neglected children and adolescents.
The Company operates thirteen facilities in eight states and its
services include inpatient acute care programs, residential
treatment programs, programs for the developmentally disabled,
foster care, group homes, home and community based services,
outpatient and accredited private schools.
Principles
of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents:
The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents all highly
liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less
from the date of purchase. The carrying values of cash and cash
equivalents approximated fair value due to the short-term nature
of these instruments.
Revenues
and Allowance for Contractual Discounts:
Revenues consist primarily of net patient service revenues that
are recorded based upon established billing rates less
allowances for contractual adjustments. Revenues are recorded
during the period the health care services are provided, based
upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party
payors. Third party payors include Medicaid, various state
agencies, managed care health plans and commercial insurance
companies.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
The Company records accounts receivable in the period in which
the services were rendered and represent claims against
third-party payors such as Medicaid, state agencies, managed
care health plans, commercial insurance companies
and/or
patients, that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of
the Companys accounts receivable, net of allowance for
doubtful accounts, represents their estimated net realizable
value. If events or circumstances indicate specific receivable
balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the
Companys ability to collect those balances and the
allowance is adjusted accordingly. The Company continually
monitors its accounts receivable balances and utilizes cash
collection data to support its estimates of allowance for
doubtful accounts. Past-due receivable balances are cancelled
when internal collection efforts have been exhausted.
Concentration
of Credit Risk:
Medicaid revenues, for healthcare services in two states,
represented approximately 36.7%, 38.3% and 39.5%, of the
Companys net patient net revenues during each of 2008,
2009, and 2010. Accounts receivable are unsecured and due,
primarily, from Medicaid, state agencies and educational
programs. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated
losses resulting from the non-collection of customer
receivables. The Companys management recognizes that
revenues and receivables from government agencies are
significant to its operations, but does not believe that there
are significant credit risks associated with these government
programs. Because of the large number of payors, types of payors
and the diversity of the geographic locations, in which the
Company operates, management does not believe there are any
other significant concentrations of revenues from any particular
payor that would subject the Company to any significant credit
risks in the collection of its accounts receivable.

YOUTH AND
FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
As a result of the current economic environment, many states
have significant budget deficits. State Medicaid programs are
experiencing increased demand, and with lower revenues than
projected, they have fewer resources to support their Medicaid
programs. Federal health reform legislation was enacted to
significantly expand state Medicaid programs. In certain states
the Company has experienced rate and utilization decreases
resulting from these budget constraints. The Company cannot
predict the amount, if any, of future rate and utilization
decreases or their effect on the Company.
The 2009 Federal economic stimulus legislation enacted to
counter the impact of the economic crisis on state budgets will
expire on June 30, 2011. This legislation provided
additional federal matching funds to help states maintain their
Medicaid programs through June 30, 2011. There are
currently no legislative initiatives proposing to extend this
program. It is difficult to predict what impact this will have
on the Company.
Property
and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
depreciable assets, generally seven to twenty years for
equipment and ten to forty years for buildings. Betterments,
renewals and repairs that extend the useful life of the asset
are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are
expensed as incurred.
Valuation
of Long-Lived and Definite-Lived Intangible
Assets:
The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived tangible
and definite-lived intangible assets in accordance with the
relevant guidance and reviews the carrying value of long-lived
assets, property and equipment, including amortizable intangible
assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the related carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment
is generally determined by comparing projected undiscounted cash
flows to be generated by the asset, or appropriate group of
assets, to its carrying value. If impairment is identified, a
loss is recorded equal to the excess of the assets net
book value over its fair value, and the cost basis is adjusted.
Determining the extent of impairment, if any, typically requires
various estimates and assumptions including using
managements judgment, cash flows directly attributable to
the asset, the useful life of the asset and residual value, if
any. When necessary, the Company uses appraisals, as
appropriate, to determine fair value. Any required impairment is
recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related
asset and a charge to operating results. In connection with the
closing of its Tampa, Florida facility, in December 2010, the
Company recorded an impairment charge of, approximately,
$1,100,000 (See Note 2).
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets:
The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in
accordance with the relevant guidance. Goodwill represents the
excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill
is not amortized. The Companys business comprises a single
operating reporting unit for impairment test purposes. For the
purpose of these analyses, the Companys estimates of fair
value are based on its future discounted cash flows. Key
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis include
estimated future revenue growth, gross margins and a risk free
interest rate. If the carrying value of the Companys
goodwill
and/or
indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds their fair value, we
compare the implied fair value of these assets with their
carrying amount to measure the potential impairment loss.
Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment at the same
time each year and when an event occurs or circumstances change,
such that, it is reasonably possible that an impairment may
exist. The Company has selected September 30th as its annual
testing date. There was no resulting impairment in 2009. In
connection with the execution of a Sale Agreement and Plan of
Merger, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount
of, approximately, $24,000,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2010 (See Note 11).

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, covenants
not to compete, trade names and certificates of need. Customer
relationships are amortized on an expected cash flow method from
five to ten years and covenants not to compete are amortized on
a straight-line basis from three to five years. Trademarks,
trade names and certificates of need are not amortized because
they have indefinite useful lives.
Deferred
Costs:
Deferred costs consist principally of deferred financing costs
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest
expense over the term of the related debt.
Income
Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
asset and liability method set forth in the relevant guidance,
whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are
determined based on differences between financial reporting and
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using
the enacted tax laws and related rates that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. These differences
result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are
included in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax
assets will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation
allowance is established against deferred tax assets to the
extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely based on
the level of historical taxable income and projections for
future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary
differences are deductible. Uncertain tax positions must meet a
more-likely-than-not threshold to be recognized in the financial
statements and the tax benefits recognized are measured based on
the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of
being realized upon final settlement (See Note 9).
Stock-Based
Compensation:
Stock-based compensation awards are granted under the Youth and
Family Centered Services, Inc. 2004 Stock Option and Grant Plan.
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation under
the fair value recognition and measurement provisions, as
required by the applicable guidance, that requires companies to
measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair
value at the date of the grant.
The fair value of the stock options issued in 2008, 2009 and
2010 was estimated using the Black Scholes Merton option pricing
model. Use of this model requires management to make estimates
and assumptions regarding expected option life (estimated at
five years), volatility (estimated upon the volatility of
comparable public entities within the Companys industry),
risk free interest rate (estimated upon United States Treasury
rates at the date of the grant), and dividend yields (estimated
at zero). Option forfeitures are based upon actual forfeitures
for the period. We recognized expense on all share-based awards
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.

Our estimate of expected annual implied volatility for stock
options granted in 2008, 2009 and 2010 is based upon an analysis
of the historical stock price volatility of publicly-traded
comparable companies.
Derivative
Instruments:
The Company previously entered into an interest rate cap, which
expired in August 2009, to convert a portion of its floating
debt to a fixed rate, thus reducing the impact of rising
interest rates on interest payments. The Company had not
designated its derivative instrument as a hedge and therefore
the cost of this agreement was being amortized to interest
expense in current earnings. The agreement capped the base
interest rate in relation to $48.0 million of variable
long-term debt at 6.40%. At December 31, 2008, 2009 and
2010, the Companys base rate was approximately 3.12%,
0.29% and 0.27%, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and
2010 the Company was not a party to any interest rate protection
agreements.
Fair
Value of the Financial Instruments:
The fair value of the Companys financial instruments has
been estimated using available market information and commonly
accepted valuation methodologies, in accordance with the
appropriate guidance.
Fair value financial instruments are recorded at fair value in
accordance with the fair value hierarchy that prioritized
observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value in
their broad levels. These levels from highest to lowest priority
are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for
identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
|
|
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets
for similar assets or liabilities or observable prices that are
based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated
by market data; and
|
|
|
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs or valuation
techniques that are used when little or no market data is
available.
|
The Companys financial instruments include cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations, and the
Company typically values these financial assets and liabilities
at their carrying values, which approximates fair value due to
their generally short-term duration.
The aggregate carrying value of the Companys senior
long-term debt is considered to be representative of the fair
value principally due to the variable interest rate attached to
the debt instrument and based on the current market rates for
debt with similar risks, terms and maturities, we estimate the
value of the Companys senior subordinated debt
approximates fair value at December 31, 2010.
The determination of fair value and the assessment of a
measurements placement within the hierarchy require
judgment.

Use of
Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In New
Accounting Pronouncements:
In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU)
2010-24,
which provides clarification to companies in the healthcare
industry on the accounting for malpractice claims or similar
contingent liabilities. This ASU states that an entity that is
indemnified for these liabilities shall recognize an insurance
receivable at the same time that it recognizes the liability,
measured on the same basis as the liability, subject to the need
for a valuation allowance for uncollectible amounts. This ASU
also discusses the accounting for insurance claims costs,
including estimates of costs relating to
incurred-but-not-reported claims and the accounting for loss
contingencies. Receivables related to insurance recoveries
should not be netted against the related claim liability and
such claim liabilities should be determined without considering
insurance recoveries. This ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010 and will be adopted by
the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this
ASU will not have an impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS
|
Closed
Operations:
In a previous year, the Company determined that a psychiatric
hospital in New Mexico and a residential treatment center in
Ohio no longer provided a benefit to the Company and terminated
the operations. The continuing operating expenses for these
facilities were not significant and did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements,
for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
In June 2009, the Company temporarily suspended the operations
at one of its Arizona facilities in response to the economic
crisis and related funding issues within the state, as well as,
certain environmental problems at the facility. The Company has
eliminated the environmental problem and believes the state will
take appropriate action to resolve its financial issues. With
the new directions the Company has identified in areas of
outpatient treatment care services and targeting programs that
will meet community needs and the states push for new care
alternatives, our intent is to re-open the facility, within the
next six to twelve months, at a time when the states
economic situation has improved and a strong referral base could
once again be established. The continuing operating expenses for
this facility are not significant and will not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Discontinued
Operations:
There were no discontinued operations for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2009.
In October 2010, the Company was notified by the Agency for
Health Care Administration that it was discontinuing the
Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) contract at its
Tampa Bay facility. Subsequent appeals with the Florida Medicaid
Bureau were, eventually, denied. The notice of termination which
was to be effective, on December 15, 2010, was subsequently
withdrawn as the Company voluntarily terminated the contract.
The loss of this contract generated a severe financial impact on
the facility to the extent the Company decided to terminate
operations effective December 31, 2010.
In connection with closing the facility, we recorded a charge
for impaired assets, which were, principally, two group homes,
leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment, in the
amount of, approximately, $1,100,000 and exit costs of,
approximately, $2,500,000 for the year ended December 31,
2010.

Our Senior Secured Credit Agreement requires the Company to make
additional principal payments, subject to step-down based on
total leverage levels, of the Companys defined excess cash
flow. The Company was required to make an excess cash flow
payment in the amount of approximately $10,500,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2008 and no payment was due for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively;
however, the Company did make a $13 million payment in 2010
and expects to make a payment of $1.8 million in 2011 in
order to remain in compliance with its debt covenants.
The agreement provides that the Company, at its option, may
elect that all or part of the term loan and the revolving loan
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the banks applicable
Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate, as these terms are defined in
the credit agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
LIBOR Rate will be increased by an applicable margin related to
each type of loan.
The interest rates applicable to the Senior Term Loan ranged,
primarily, from 6.45% to 8.08%, 6.87% to 4.01% and 3.99% to
6.00% for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
respectively.
Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee, at the rate of
0.50% per year, on the unused portion of the revolving credit
facility and, at December 31, 2010, had no borrowings
outstanding.

Legal
Proceedings:
In the ordinary course of business the Company is exposed to
various legal proceedings, claims and incidents that may lead to
claims. In managements current opinion, the outcome with
respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect
on the Companys consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. However, there can be no
assurances that, over time, certain of these proceedings will
not develop into a material event.
Professional
Liability:
The Companys business entails an inherent risk of claims
relating to professional liability. The Company maintains
professional liability insurance, on a claims made
basis, with an option to extend the claims reporting
period and general liability insurance, on an occurrence
basis. The Company also maintains additional coverage for
claims in excess of the coverage provided by the professional
and general liability policies. The Company accrues for unknown
incidents based upon the anticipated future costs related to
those potential obligations. The Company believes that its
insurance coverage is sufficient based upon claims experience
and the nature and risks of its business. There can be no
assurance that a pending or future claim or claims will not be
successful against the
F-58

FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Company, and, if successful, will not exceed the limits of
available insurance coverage or that such coverage will continue
to be available at acceptable costs and on favorable terms.
Reimbursement
and Regulatory Matters:
Laws and regulations governing the various Medicaid and state
reimbursement programs are complex and subject to
interpretation. The Company believes it is in substantial
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. However,
the Company has ongoing regulatory matters, including those
described below. Currently, management does not believe the
outcome of the compliance matters or regulatory investigations
will have a significant impact on the financial position or
operating results of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, a local county
referral agency conducted a routine audit which revealed
possible billing problems. The Company conducted a detailed
internal compliance review that confirmed certain billing
problems existed. The Company immediately changed its procedures
and increased the in-house training of its personnel. The
Company offered to reimburse the Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services (the State Medicaid agency), for all
questionable billings and subsequent to the offer, the State
Medicaid agency conducted its audit covering the period August
2003 through January 2005. The result of this audit was a
request for the payback of approximately $1.4 million from
the facility, which has been accrued by the Company. An
administrative hearing was conducted in September 2007; and in
January 2008, the State Medicaid agency submitted the hearing
officers report and recommendations to the Company.
Subsequent to this, an Adjudication Order was issued. The
Company appealed the administrative order to the Court of Common
Pleas; the State Medicaid agency prevailed; and the Company
filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals. The
Courts mediator extended an invitation to the parties to
mediate, which the Company accepted; however, the State Medicaid
agency declined, and at that point, the Company withdrew the
appeal. The State Medicaid agency then sent an invoice for the
amount assessed in the audit, including interest. In December of
2009, the Company received a demand letter from Special Counsel
retained by the Ohio Attorney General for principal plus
penalties and interest. Outside counsel for the Company
responded by contacting the Special Counsels office to
convey that the facility had been closed for years and did not
have any assets. The Special Counsels Office replied that
they would have to review their file and get back to the
Companys outside counsel. In May of 2010, Oak Ridges
counsel followed up with the Special Counsels Office,
which informed Oak Ridges counsel that the claim had been
returned to the Attorney Generals Office. The Attorney
Generals Office has the option to pursue litigation to
reduce the claim to a judgment; however, there are no assets of
the subsidiary to satisfy any judgment that may be rendered.
In April 2006, the Company and one of its facilities were the
recipients of a federal subpoena. The Company fully cooperated
with the U.S. Attorneys Offices investigation
and the parties worked on components of a model residential
treatment program as a resolution of the investigation. In
December 2008, the Assistant U.S. Attorney contacted the
Companys outside counsel, and informed him that the
investigation was the product of a qui tam action filed
under the Federal False Claims Act. Such cases are filed
under seal and the defendants are not notified until
the government officially intervenes in the case. In this
instance, the Court directed the government to either settle
this matter promptly, or intervene or decline to intervene, in
which case the plaintiff could still proceed on
his/her own;
and the Court partially unsealed the case, so as to let the
Company know it was the subject of a lawsuit. A settlement
agreement with the U.S. Attorneys Office was reached
on April 22, 2009, which includes facets of a model
residential treatment program; a partial re-payment of funding
in three installments of $50,000 each, with the final
installment to be paid in April of 2011; and various corporate
integrity provisions commonly required by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the
Inspector General. As part of the integrity provisions, an
independent review organization shall monitor the Company for
three years. The Company was notified by the
U.S. Attorneys Office on March 9, 2010 and by
the independent review organization on March 10, 2010 that
they had received complaints alleging compliance concerns which
they intended to investigate. The matters were fully
investigated internally and externally and resolved with no
material financial effects. As of January 31, 2011, the
independent review organization reported no issues of
non-compliance. In late February of 2011, outside counsel for
the Company contacted the U.S. Attorneys Office to
verbally inform the government of the impending sale of
F-59

the Company. During the call, the Assistant U.S. Attorney
mentioned that he would be sending a letter or other
communication on various matters, but he declined to indicate
the anticipated substance of the correspondence or if there were
specific concerns. The correspondence has not been received at
this time.
On August 20, 2010, the Florida Agency for Health Care
Administration (AHCA) issued an Emergency Immediate Moratorium
on Admissions to halt all residential treatment admissions due
to regulatory deficiencies. Subsequently over a period of four
months, AHCA issued a moratorium on admissions for two of the
group homes; filed five administrative complaints seeking fines
totaling $134,500 and revocation of licenses; and sent a notice
of termination of the Medicaid Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric
Program (SIPP) contract with Tampa Bay Academy, effective
December 15, 2010, which was subsequently withdrawn to
allow the Company to voluntarily terminate that contract.
Outside counsel for Tampa Bay is in discussions with AHCA
counsel on a potential settlement pertaining to the pending
fines and license revocation actions. This facility has been
closed (See Note 2).
The Company has a qualified contributory savings plan (the
Plan) as allowed under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is available to all full-time
and part-time employees meeting certain eligibility requirements
and participants may defer up to 20% of their annual
compensation, subject to limits, by contributing amounts to the
Plan. At its election, the Company may make additional
discretionary contributions to the plan on the employees
behalf. The Company elected to make an additional discretionary
contribution into the Plan in the amount of approximately
$100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 the Company elected
to suspend its employer contribution.

The Company adopted current guidance which prescribes the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the
Companys financial statements and proposes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides
direction on derecognizing and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the
United States federal and various state jurisdictions. The
Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations
for the tax years 2007 and later by the Internal Revenue
Service, and is subject to various state income tax
examinations, with the exception of one state, for the tax years
2006 and later. The state income tax returns for the tax years
2007 and later remain subject to examination in the one state
where audits have occurred.
The Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of
December 31, 2010 and does not expect this to change over
the next twelve (12) months. In connection with the
adoption of the guidance the Company will recognize interest and
penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2010,
the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to
uncertain tax positions.

Material
Definitive Agreement:
On February 17, 2011, Youth and Family Centered Services,
Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
Merger Agreement), with Acadia Healthcare Company,
LLC, a Delaware corporation (the Parent), and
Acadia YFCS Acquisition Company, Inc., a Georgia
corporation (the Merger Co).
At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of
preferred and common stock outstanding shall be cancelled and
converted to the right to receive certain consideration as set
forth in the Merger Agreement. At the effective time, each
option
and/or
warrant to purchase shares of common stock of the Company,
whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised
as of immediately prior to the effective time, shall become
fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled and
converted into the right to receive certain merger consideration

The Company has made certain representations, warranties and
covenants in the Merger agreement, which generally expire on
June 1, 2012, with certain fundamental representations
surviving until thirty (30) days after the expiration of
the statute of limitations applicable to such representations.
The Parent and Merger Co have obtained equity and debt financing
commitments for the transaction contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, which proceeds will be sufficient to pay the
aggregate merger consideration and all related fees and
expenses. Additionally, upon consummation of the sale,
approximately, $86.1 million of our Senior and Subordinated
Debt is required to be paid off. Subsequent to year-end the
Company made a principal payment of $1.8 million against
its Term Loan. The receipt of financing on substantially the

Note B
|
Basis of
Presentation
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(USGAAP) for interim financial information and in
accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q
and
Rule 8-03
of
Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by USGAAP for complete financial statements. The
balance sheet at June 30, 2010 has been derived from the
audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 2011. The accompanying financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the June 30, 2010
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) on September 24, 2010.
Estimates
and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
USGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Such estimates include patient care
billing rates, realizability of receivables from third-party
payors, rates for Medicare and Medicaid and the realization of
deferred
F-68
tax benefits and the valuation of goodwill, which represents a
significant portion of the estimates made by management.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company bills for its inpatient behavioral healthcare
services upon discharge and for its outpatient facilities daily.
In all cases, the charges are contractually adjusted at the time
of billing using adjustment factors based on agreements or
contracts with the insurance carriers and the specific plans
held by the individuals. This method may still require
additional adjustment based on ancillary services provided and
deductibles and copays due from the individuals which are
estimated at the time of admission based on information received
from the individual. Adjustments to these estimates are
recognized as adjustments to revenue during the period
identified, usually when payment is received.
The Companys policy is to collect estimated co-payments
and deductibles at the time of admission. Payments are made by
way of cash, check or credit card. If the patient does not have
sufficient resources to pay the estimated co-payment in advance,
the Companys policy is to allow payment to be made in
three installments one third due upon admission, one
third due upon discharge and the balance due 30 days after
discharge. At times, the patient is not physically or mentally
stable enough to comprehend or agree to any financial
arrangement. In this case, the Company will make arrangements
with the patient once his or her condition is stabilized. At
times, this situation will require the Company to extend payment
arrangements beyond the three payment method previously
outlined. Whenever extended payment arrangements are made, the
patient, or the individual who is financially responsible for
the patient, is required to sign a promissory note to the
Company, which includes interest on the balance due.
Contract support service revenue is a result of fixed fee
contracts to provide telephone support. Revenue for these
services is recognized ratably over the service period. All
revenues and receivables from our contract services division are
based on a prorated monthly allocation of the total contract
amount and usually paid within 30 days of the end of the
month.
Note C-
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has three active stock plans: a stock option plan,
an employee stock purchase plan and a non-employee
directors stock option plan.
The stock option plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of
2,400,000 shares of Class A common stock of the
Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to
employees or nonqualified stock options to employees, directors,
consultants and others whose efforts are important to the
success of the Company. Subject to the provisions of this plan,
the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the
Board) has the authority to select the optionees and
determine the terms of the options including: (i) the
number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms,
(iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of
an incentive stock option will not be less than the market price
of the Class A common stock as of the date of grant),
(iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions
and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock
upon exercise of options. As of March 31, 2011, there were
1,421,313 options available for future grant under this plan.
The employee stock purchase plan provides for the purchase of
Class A common stock at 85 percent of the fair market
value at specific dates, to encourage stock ownership by all
eligible employees. A maximum of 500,000 shares may be
issued under this plan. As of March 31, 2011, there were
428,064 shares available for future purchase under this
plan.
The non-employee directors stock option plan provides for
the grant of non-statutory stock options automatically at the
time of each annual meeting of the Board. Under the plan, a
maximum of 950,000 shares may be issued. Each outside
director is granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of
Class A common stock, annually, at fair market value on the
date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the
first three anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years
from the grant date. As of March 31, 2011, there were
530,000 options available for future grant under this plan.
The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Auditing Standards
Codification (ASC)
Compensation Stock Compensation
(ASC 718). Under the provisions of ASC 718,
F-69
the Company recognizes the fair value of stock compensation as
expense, over the requisite service period of the individual
grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of the
Companys stock compensation is accounted for as equity
instruments and there have been no liability awards granted. Any
income tax benefit related to stock compensation will be shown
under the financing section of the statement of cash flows.
Based on the Companys historical voluntary turnover rates
for individuals in the positions who received options in the
period, there was no forfeiture rate assumed. It is assumed
these options will remain outstanding for the full term of
issue. Under the
true-up
provisions of ASC 718, a recovery of prior expense will be
recorded if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated.
True-up
provisions to date have not been material.
Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company recorded
stock-based compensation on its consolidated condensed
statements of income of $30,844 and $38,603 for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $144,213
and $180,304 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, respectively.

The compensation cost related to the fair value of these shares
of approximately $194,777 will be recognized as these options
vest over the next three years.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for
estimating the fair value of the stock compensation granted.
There were no options granted during the three months ended
March 31, 2011 or March 31, 2010. The weighted-average
fair value of the options granted for the nine months ended
March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 was $1.14 and $0.63,
respectively, using the following assumptions:

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company
has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to
pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the
historical volatility of our common stock over the period
commensurate with the expected life of the options. The
risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate on the
date of grant. The expected life was calculated using the
Companys historical experience for the expected term of
the option.

Fair
Value Measurements:
|
ASC
820-10-65,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC
820-10-65),
defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value
and requires certain disclosures. This statement applies under
other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements. The statement indicates, among other things,
that a fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell
an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market
for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal
market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
ASC 820-10-65
defines fair value based upon an exit price model.
ASC 820-10-65
discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach
(comparable market prices), the income approach (present value
of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to
replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).
The statement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value
into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of
those three levels:
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices, that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
|
|
|
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the
reporting entitys own assumptions.
|
The following table presents information about the
Companys assets that are measured at fair value on a
recurring basis as of March 31, 2011, and indicates the
fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to
determine such fair value.

As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the fair value
of the Companys other financial instruments, which include
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other
receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and long-term
debt, approximate the carrying amounts of the respective asset
and liability due to the short-term nature of these financial
instruments and market rates and interest.

Recently
Issued Standards
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, there were no
recently issued accounting standards that are expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently
Adopted Standards
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we did not adopt
any new accounting standards that had a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC
740), prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial
statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure
of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in
income tax returns. ASC 740 required that a change in
judgment related to prior years tax positions be
recognized in the quarter of the change. The Company recognized
no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized tax
benefits.
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions in general and administrative expense. As of
March 31, 2011, we have not recorded any provisions for
accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions.
Tax years
2006-2009
remain open to examination by the major taxing authorities to
which we are subject.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, certain
litigation involving the Company and a terminated employee
reached binding arbitration. As a result of this arbitration,
the Arbitrator awarded the employee approximately $410,000 plus
costs. In the calculation of the amount awarded, the Company
believes the Arbitrator erroneously took into consideration an
employment agreement that was not in question and not terminated
by the Company. Based on this miscalculation, the Companys
attorney recommended an appeal, which the Company initiated.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Michigan Court
of Appeals denied the appeal. The Company then filed an appeal
with the Michigan Supreme Court. Since the Company and its
attorney expected a favorable outcome, no provision was made for
this judgment; however, the Company placed $512,197 in escrow as
required by the courts. Subsequent to quarter end the Michigan
Supreme Court found in favor of the terminated employee
requiring the Company to pay $446,320, which includes accrued
interest, to the terminated employee to satisfy this judgment.
This amount is shown as a legal settlement expense in operations
of the quarter ended March 31, 2011 in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of income.

Basic and
Diluted Income Per Share:
|
Income per share is computed by dividing the income applicable
to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
of both classes of common stock outstanding for each fiscal
year. Class B common stock has additional voting rights.
All dilutive common stock equivalents are included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share.
F-73
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in
the computation of earnings per share is summarized as follows:

On November 13, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary
Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc., d/b/a Capstone Academy, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Capstone
Academy), purchased the rights under certain identified
notes (the Notes) held by Bank of America and
secured by the property leased by Capstone Academy for
$1,250,000. The Notes were in default at the time of the
purchase and the Company has initiated foreclosure proceedings
in the courts. The Notes were purchased using cash flow from
operations. The Company has recorded the value of the Notes in
other receivables, current, in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the
value of the Notes are fully recoverable based on the current
value of the property securing the Notes.
|
|
Note K
|
Material
Definitive Agreement
|
On March 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement with Universal Health Services, Inc. to
acquire substantially all of the operating assets (other than
cash), and assume certain liabilities associated with,
MeadowWood Behavioral Health, a fifty-eight bed behavioral
health facility located in New Castle, Delaware, for
$21.5 million in cash. The closing is contingent upon
regulatory approval, including approval from the Federal Trade
Commission and appropriate regulatory agencies of the State of
Delaware. The transaction closed on July 1, 2011.
The Company has also entered into a commitment letter with
Jefferies Finance LLC, in order to finance the transaction.
Jefferies Finance LLC has agreed, subject to the terms and
conditions of the commitment letter, to provide the financing
for a new senior secured term loan of up to $23.5 million,
which is intended to finance the transaction, and a
$3.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility.
During the current fiscal year, the Company identified a failure
with respect to prior year Average Deferral Percentage
(ADP) and Actual Contribution Percentage
(ACP) testing in the 401(k) plan. The Company does
not consider this to be a material operational failure and is
correcting by filing under the IRS Employee Plans
Compliance Resolution Program (Rev Proc
2008-50),
with the assistance of counsel. During the current quarter, the
Company determined that approximately $185,000 will be the
non-voluntary contribution to the 401(k) plan
F-74
required by the IRS in connection with this compliance failure
and recorded this expense as other expense in the accompanying
income statement.
Note M
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be
consistent with the March 31, 2011 presentation .
Note N
Subsequent Events:
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these
financial statements were available for issue, and did not find
any unrecorded reportable subsequent events, except as discussed
in Notes H and K and below.
On May 23, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive
merger agreement with Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (Acadia)
and Acadia Merger Sub, LLC (Merger Sub), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Acadia, pursuant to which the Company will merge
with and into Merger Sub. Acadia is a leading provider of
behavioral healthcare services in the United States. The merger
is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval which the
Company is in the process of obtaining.
In connection with the merger, a putative stockholder class
action lawsuit has been filed in Massachusetts state court. A
second lawsuit has also been filed in federal district court in
Massachusetts making essentially the same allegations against
the same defendants. PHC, Acadia and Merger Sub believe that
these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them
vigorously.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
PHC, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
PHC, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of PHC, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2010 and
2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE A
|
THE
COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Operations
and business segments:
PHC, Inc. (PHC or the Company) is
incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Company
is a national healthcare company which operates subsidiaries
specializing in behavioral health services including the
treatment of substance abuse, which includes alcohol and drug
dependency and related disorders and the provision of
psychiatric services. The Company also operates help lines for
employee assistance programs, call centers for state and local
programs and provides management, administrative and online
behavioral health services. The Company primarily operates under
three business segments:
(1) Behavioral health treatment services, including
two substance abuse treatment facilities: Highland Ridge
Hospital, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, which also treats
psychiatric patients, and Mount Regis Center, located in Salem,
Virginia, and eleven psychiatric treatment locations which
include Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 71-bed psychiatric hospital
located in New Baltimore, Michigan, Detroit Behavioral
Institute, a
66-bed
residential facility in Detroit, Michigan, a 55-bed psychiatric
hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada and eight outpatient behavioral
health locations (one in New Baltimore, Michigan operating in
conjunction with Harbor Oaks Hospital, three in Las Vegas,
Nevada as Harmony Healthcare, three locations operating as
Pioneer Counseling Center in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan
area) and one location in Pennsylvania operating as Wellplace;
(2) Call center and help line services (contract
services), including two call centers, one operating in
Midvale, Utah and one in Detroit, Michigan. The Company provides
help line services through contracts with major railroads and a
call center contract with Wayne County, Michigan. The call
centers both operate under the brand name Wellplace; and
(3) Behavioral health administrative services,
including delivery of management and administrative and online
services. The parent company provides management and
administrative services for all of its subsidiaries and online
services for its behavioral health treatment subsidiaries and
its call center subsidiaries. It also provides behavioral health
information through its website, Wellplace.com.
Principles
of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. In January 2007, the Company purchased a 15.24%
membership interest in the Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC, the
entity that is the landlord of the Seven Hills Hospital
subsidiary. In March 2008, the Company, through its subsidiary
PHC of Nevada, Inc., purchased a 25% membership interest in
Behavioral Health Partners, LLC, the entity that is the landlord
of a new outpatient location for Harmony Healthcare. These
investments are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting and are included in other assets on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. (Note D)
Accounting
Standards Codification:
In July 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) completed a revision of non-governmental
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) into a single authoritative source and issued
a codification of accounting rules and references. Authoritative
standards included in the codification are designated by their
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topical reference,
and revised standards are designated as Accounting Standards
Updates (ASU), with a year and assigned sequence
number. The codification effort, while not creating or changing
accounting rules, changed how users would cite accounting
regulations. Citations in financial statements must identify the
sections within the new codification. The codification is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The Company is complying with the new
codification standards.

Revenues
and accounts receivable:
Patient care revenues and accounts receivable are recorded at
established billing rates or at the amount realizable under
agreements with third-party payors, including Medicaid and
Medicare. Revenues under third-party payor agreements are
subject to examination and contractual adjustment, and amounts
realizable may change due to periodic changes in the regulatory
environment. Provisions for estimated third party payor
settlements are provided in the period the related services are
rendered. Differences between the amounts provided and
subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the period
of settlement. Amounts due as a result of cost report
settlements are recorded and listed separately on the
consolidated balance sheets as Other receivables.
The provision for contractual allowances is deducted directly
from revenue and the net revenue amount is recorded as accounts
receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts does not include
the contractual allowances.
Medicare reimbursements are based on established rates depending
on the level of care provided and are adjusted prospectively.
Effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2005,
the prospective payment system (PPS) was brought
into effect for all psychiatric services paid through the
Medicare program. The new system changed the TEFRA-based (Tax
Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982) system to the
new variable per diem-based system. The new rates are based on a
statistical model that relates per diem resource use for
beneficiaries to patient and facility characteristics available
from Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMSs), administrative data base (cost reports
and claims data). Patient-specific characteristics include, but
are not limited to, principal diagnoses, comorbid conditions,
and age. Facility specific variables include an area wage index,
rural setting, and the extent of teaching activity. This change
was phased in over three fiscal years with a percentage of
payments being made at the old rates and a percentage at the new
rates. We have been operating fully under PPS since fiscal 2009.
Although Medicare reimbursement rates are based 100% on PPS, the
Company will continue to file cost reports annually as required
by Medicare to determine ongoing rates and recoup any
adjustments for Medicare bad debt. These cost reports are
routinely audited on an annual basis. The Company believes that
adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of Medicare
audits. Approximately 27% and 25% of the Companys total
revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid payors for the
years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent
settlements are recorded in operations in the year of the
settlement. To date, settlement adjustments have not been
material.
Patient care revenue is recognized as services are rendered,
provided there exists persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the
fee is fixed or determinable and collectability of the related
receivable is reasonably assured. Pre admission
screening of financial responsibility of the patient, insurance
carrier or other contractually obligated payor, provides the
Company the net expected collectable patient revenue to be
recorded based on contractual arrangements with the payor or
pre-admission agreements with the patient. Revenue is not
recognized for emergency provision of services for indigent
patients until authorization for the services can be obtained.
Contract support service revenue is a result of fixed fee
contracts to provide telephone support. Revenue for these
services is recognized ratably over the service period.
Long-term assets include non-current accounts receivable, other
receivables and other assets (see below for description of other
assets). Non-current accounts receivable consist of amounts due
from former patients for service. This amount represents
estimated amounts collectable under supplemental payment
agreements, arranged by the Company or its collection agencies,
entered into because of the patients inability to pay
under normal payment terms. All of these receivables have been
extended beyond their original due date. Reserves are provided
for accounts of former patients that do not comply with these
supplemental payment agreements and accounts are written off
when deemed unrecoverable. Other receivables included as
long-term assets include the non-current portion of loans
provided to employees and amounts due on a contractual agreement.

Charity care amounted to approximately $305,000 and $63,000 for
the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Patient care revenue is presented net of charity care in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company had accounts receivable from Medicaid and Medicare
of approximately $2,333,300 at June 30, 2010 and $1,417,000
at June 30, 2009. Included in accounts receivable is
approximately $1,255,000 and $962,000 in unbilled receivables at
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Allowance
for doubtful accounts:
The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts
which reduces the stated value of receivables on the balance
sheet. This allowance is calculated based on a percentage of
each aged accounts receivable category beginning at 0-5% on
current accounts and increasing incrementally for each
additional 30 days the account remains outstanding until
the account is over 360 days outstanding, at which time the
provision is
80-100% of
the outstanding balance. These percentages vary by facility
based on each facilitys experience in and expectations for
collecting older receivables. The Company compares this required
reserve amount to the current Allowance for doubtful
accounts to determine the required bad debt expense for
the period. This method of determining the required
Allowance for doubtful accounts has historically
resulted in an allowance for doubtful accounts of 20% or greater
of the total outstanding receivables balance, which the Company
believes to be a reasonable valuation of its accounts receivable.
Estimates
and assumptions:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Such estimates include patient care
billing rates, realizability of receivables from third-party
payors, rates for Medicare and Medicaid, the realization of
deferred tax benefits and the valuation of goodwill, which
represents a significant portion of the estimates made by
management.
Reliance
on key clients:
The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to
maintain patient census at its inpatient facilities and patients
for our outpatient operations and our employee assistance
programs. The loss of any of such contracts would impact the
Companys ability to meet its fixed costs. The Company has
entered into relationships with large employers, health care
institutions, insurance companies and labor unions to provide
treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and
substance abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored employee
assistance programs. The employees of such institutions may be
referred to the Company for treatment, the cost of which is
reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 20%
of the Companys total revenue is derived from these
clients for all periods presented. No one of these large
employers, health care institutions or labor unions individually
accounts for 10% or more of the Companys consolidated
revenues, but the loss of any of these clients would require the
Company to expend considerable effort to replace patient
referrals and would result in revenue and attendant losses.
Cash
equivalents:
Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments
with maturities of less than three months when purchased.

assets:
Other assets consists of deposits, deferred expenses advances,
investment in Seven Hills LLC, investment in Behavioral Health
Partners, LLC, software license fees, and internally developed
and acquired software which is being amortized over three to
seven years based on its estimated useful life.
Long-lived
assets:
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets
for possible impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets
may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for disposal
are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair
value less costs to sell. The Company believes that the carrying
value of its long-lived assets is fully realizable at
June 30, 2010.
Fair
Value Measurements:
ASC
820-10-65,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines
fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and
requires certain disclosures. This statement applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. The statement indicates, among other things, that
a fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an
asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for
the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market,
the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
ASC 820-10-65
defines fair value based upon an exit price model.
ASC 820-10-65
discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach
(comparable market prices), the income approach (present value
of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to
replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).
The statement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value
into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of
those three levels:
|
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
Inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active.
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own
assumptions.
|
The Company had money market funds stated at fair market value,
of $2,504,047 and $2,038,257 at June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, that were measured using Level 1 inputs.
Basic

respectively.
Income
taxes:
ASC 740, Income Taxes, prescribes an asset and
liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred
tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities. In
accordance with ASC 740, the Company may establish reserves
for tax uncertainties that reflect the use of the comprehensive
model for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax
positions. Tax authorities periodically challenge certain
transactions and deductions reported on our income tax returns.
The Company does not expect the outcome of these examinations,
either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows.
Comprehensive
income:
The Companys comprehensive income (loss) is equal to its
net income (loss) for all periods presented.
Stock-based
compensation:
The Company issues stock options to its employees and directors
and provides employees the right to purchase stock pursuant to
stockholder approved stock option and stock purchase plans. The
Company follows the provisions of ASC 718,
Compensation Stock Compensation.
Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes the
fair value of stock compensation in net income (loss), over the
requisite service period of the individual grantees, which
generally equals the vesting period. All of the Companys
stock based awards are accounted for as equity instruments.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for
estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation. The
weighted-average fair values of the options granted under the
stock option plans for the years ended June 30, 2010 and
2009 were calculated using the following weighted-average
assumptions:

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company
has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to
pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the
historical volatility of the Companys common stock over
the period commensurate with the expected life of the options.
The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate on
the date of grant. The expected life was calculated using the
Companys historical experience for the expected term of
the option.
Based on the Companys historical voluntary turnover rates
for individuals in the positions who received options, there was
no forfeiture rate assessed. It is assumed these options will
remain outstanding for the full term of issue. Under the
true-up
provisions of ASC 718, a recovery of prior expense will be
recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated
or additional expense if the forfeiture rate is lower than
estimated. To date, any required
true-ups
have not been material.
In August 2009, 17,182 shares of common stock were issued
under the employee stock purchase plan. The Company recorded
stock-based compensation expense of $12,027. In February 2010,
7,792 shares of common stock were issued under the employee
stock purchase plan. The Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of $1,402.
As of June 30, 2010, there was $202,164 in unrecognized
compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation
arrangements granted under existing stock option plans. This
cost is expected to be recognized over the next three years.

accounting pronouncements:
Recently
Adopted Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business
Combinations (ASC 805). ASC 805 requires
an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with
goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets
acquired. This standard also requires the fair value measurement
of certain other assets and liabilities related to the
acquisition such as contingencies. ASC 805 applies
prospectively to business combinations and is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material effect on the
Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2008, FASB issued ASC 260 Earnings Per
Share (ASC 260). ASC 260 requires that
unvested share-based payment awards that contain non forfeitable
rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or
unpaid) are participating securities and should be included in
the two-class method of computing earnings per share.
ASC 260 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 260 did not
have a material effect on the Companys Consolidated
Financial Statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810,
Consolidation (ASC 810). This guidance
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material effect on the
Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815, Derivatives
and Hedging (ASC 815). ASC 815 provides
that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate
whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded
feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the
instruments contingent exercise and the instruments
settlement provisions. ASC 815 clarifies the impact of
foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based
employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation.
ASC 815 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 815 did not
have a material effect on the Companys Consolidated
Financial Statements.

NOTE C
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially created as a
result of business combinations or acquisitions. Critical
estimates and assumptions used in the initial valuation of
goodwill and other intangible assets include, but are not
limited to: (i) future expected cash flows from services to
be provided, customer contracts and relationships, and
(ii) the acquired market position. These estimates and
assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate because
unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. If estimates
and assumptions used to initially value goodwill and intangible
assets prove to be inaccurate, ongoing reviews of the carrying
values of such goodwill and intangible assets may indicate
impairment which will require the Company to record an
impairment charge in the period in which the Company identifies
the impairment.
ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
requires, among other things, that companies not amortize
goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least
annually. In addition, ASC 350 requires that the Company
identify reporting units for the purpose of assessing potential
future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of
other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease
amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.
The Companys goodwill of $969,098 relating to the
treatment services reporting unit of the Company was evaluated
under ASC 350 as of June 30, 2010. As a result of the
evaluation, the Company determined that no impairment exists
related to the goodwill associated with the treatment services
reporting unit. The Company will continue to test goodwill for
impairment, at least annually, in accordance with the guidelines
of ASC 350.
NOTE D
OTHER ASSETS
Included in other assets are investments in unconsolidated
subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2010, this includes the

At June 30, 2010, the Company had utilized all federal
operating loss carryforwards and has approximately
$2,500,000 state operating loss carryforwards remaining.
The Company has also generated Alternative Minimum Tax credits
of approximately $210,000 which do not expire. The
Companys state operating loss carryforwards are subject to
review and possible adjustment by the state taxing authorities.
Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income
prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. Although
realization is not assured, management believes it is more
likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be
realized. At June 30, 2010, the Company established an
allowance of approximately $150,000 on the deferred tax asset
derived from Pivotal, the research operations sold in fiscal
2009, as this asset relates to Arizona where the Company is no
longer doing business. The amount of the deferred tax asset not
associated with Pivotal is considered realizable; however, such
amount could be reduced in the near term if estimates of the
future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
The Company adopted certain provisions of
ASC 740 Income Taxes on July 1, 2007 as it
relates to uncertain tax positions. As a result of the
implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no
material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized tax
benefits.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to
uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded any
provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to
uncertain tax positions.

Litigation:
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, certain
litigation involving the Company and a terminated employee
reached binding arbitration. As a result of this arbitration,
the Arbitrator awarded the employee approximately $410,000 plus
costs. In the calculation of the amount awarded, the Company
believes the Arbitrator erroneously took into consideration an
employment agreement that was not in question and not terminated
by the Company. Based on this miscalculation, the Companys
attorney recommended an appeal, which the Company initiated.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Michigan Court
of Appeals denied the appeal. The Company has now filed an
appeal with the Michigan Supreme Court. Since the Company and
its attorney expect a favorable outcome, no provision has been
made for this judgment in the accompanying financial statements;
however, the Company has placed $512,197 in escrow as required
by the courts. This amount is shown as restricted cash on the
accompanying balance sheet.
Additionally, the Company is subject to various claims and legal
action that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the
opinion of management, the Company is not currently a party to
any proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.

Non-employee Directors stock option plan and the 1995
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The stock option plan, dated December 2003 and expiring in

(iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of
an incentive stock option will not be less than the market price
of the Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant),
(iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions
and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock
upon exercise of options. As of June 30, 2010, 1,682,500

The price per share shall be the lesser of 85% of the average of
the bid and ask price on the first day of the plan period or the
last day of the plan period to encourage stock ownership by all
eligible employees. The plan was amended on December 19,

Stock to be issued under the plan. Before its expiration on
October 18, 2005, 157,034 shares were issued under the
plan. On January 31, 2006 the stockholders approved a
replacement Employee Stock Purchase Plan to replace the 1995
plan. A maximum of 500,000 shares may be issued under the
January 2006 plan (the 2006 Plan). The new plan is
identical to the old plan and expires on January 31, 2016.
As of June 30, 2010, 57,855 shares have been issued
under this plan. During fiscal 2008 the Board of Directors
authorized a new offering for a six month contribution term
instead of the former one year term. At June 30, 2010 there
were 442,145 shares available for issue under the 2006 Plan.
The non-employee directors stock option plan provides for
the grant of non-statutory stock options automatically at the
time of each annual meeting of the Board. Through June 30,
2005, options for 145,500 shares were granted under the
1995 plan. This plan expired in August 2005 and, in January
2005, the shareholders voted to approve a new non-employee
directors stock plan. The new plan is identical to the
plan it replaced. Under the new plan, a maximum of
350,000 shares may be issued. As of June 30, 2010, a
total of 340,000 options were issued under the new plan. On
January 31, 2006, this plan was amended to increase the
number of options issued to each outside director each year from
10,000 options to 20,000 options. Each outside director is
granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock annually at fair market value on the date of grant,
vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three
anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years from the grant
date. The new plan will expire in January 2015, ten years from
the date of shareholder approval. At June 30, 2010, there
were 10,000 options available for grant under this plan.
The Company had the following activity in its stock option plans
for fiscal 2010 and 2009:

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Parent of HHC Delaware, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
HHC Delaware, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (Predecessor),
and the related consolidated statements of operations, invested
equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period from
November 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and for the
period from January 1, 2010 to November 15, 2010 and
the year ended December 31, 2009 (Predecessor periods).
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of HHC Delaware, Inc. and Subsidiary at
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (Predecessor),
and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
the period from November 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010
and for the period from January 1, 2010 to
November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009
(Predecessor periods) in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Description
of Business
HHC Delaware, Inc. (MeadowWood) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS)
and operates a behavioral health care facility known as
MeadowWood Behavioral Health System located at 575 South DuPont
Highway, New Castle, Delaware. HHC Delaware, Inc. is the sole
member of Delaware Investment Associates, LLC (MeadowWood
Real Estate), which owns the real estate located at 575
South DuPont Highway, New Castle, Delaware. Collectively,
MeadowWood and MeadowWood Real Estate are hereinafter referred
to as the Company. On November 15, 2010, UHS completed the
acquisition of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (PSI),
the previous owner of the Company. References herein to the
Parent refer to PSI for periods prior to the acquisition by UHS
and refer to UHS for all post-acquisition periods.
Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of the
Company.
Patient
Service Revenue
Patient service revenue is recorded on the accrual basis in the
period in which services are provided, at established billing
rates less contractual adjustments. Contractual adjustments are
recorded to state patient service revenue at the amount expected
to be collected for the services provided based on amounts
reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid under provisions of cost or
prospective reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other
third-party payors at contractually determined rates.
Approximately 30%, 27% and 19% of revenue for the period
November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010, and the
predecessor periods of January 1, 2010 through
November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31,
2009, respectively, was obtained from providing services to
patients participating in the Medicaid program. Approximately
41%, 40% and 44% of revenue for the period November 16,
2010 through December 31, 2010, and the predecessor periods
of January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the
year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, was obtained
from providing services to patients participating in the
Medicare program.
Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party
payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the
related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods
as final settlements are determined. Final determination of
amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often
occur in subsequent years because of audits by such programs,
rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical
provisions.
The Company provides care without charge to patients who are
financially unable to pay for the health care services they
receive. Because the Company does not pursue collection of
amounts determined to qualify as charity care, these amounts are
not reported as revenue. Charity care totaled $55,415, $194,121,
and $177,570 for the period ended November 16, 2010 through
December 31, 2010 and the predecessor periods
January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the year
ended December 31, 2009, respectively.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The Parent established, for the Company, zero balancing
depository, payables and payroll bank accounts which are swept
or funded by the Parent. The Hospitals consolidated
financial statement balance for these bank accounts generally
represents deposits not yet swept to the Parent. See Note 2.

Accounts
Receivable
Accounts receivable is comprised of patient service revenue and
is recorded net of allowances for contractual discounts and
estimated doubtful accounts. Such amounts are owed by various
governmental agencies, insurance companies and private patients.
Medicare comprised approximately 20% and 19% of accounts
receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009 (Predecessor),
respectively. Medicaid comprised approximately 19% and 18% of
accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009
(Predecessor), respectively. Concentration of credit risk from
other payors is reduced by the large number of patients and
payors.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The ability to collect outstanding patient receivables from
third party payors is critical to operating performance and cash
flows. The primary collection risk with regard to patient
receivables relates to uninsured patient accounts or patient
accounts for which primary insurance has paid, but the portion
owed by the patient remains outstanding. The Company estimates
the allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age
of the accounts since the patient discharge date. The Company
continually monitors our accounts receivable balances and
utilizes cash collection data to support our estimates of the
provision for doubtful accounts. Significant changes in payor
mix or business office operations could have a significant
impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
Allowances
for Contractual Discounts
The Medicare and Medicaid regulations are complex and various
managed care contracts may include multiple reimbursement
mechanisms for different types of services provided and cost
settlement provisions requiring complex calculations and
assumptions subject to interpretation. The Company estimates the
allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis
given our interpretation of the applicable regulations or
contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related
reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could
result in payments that differ from the Companys
estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract
renegotiations occur frequently necessitating continual review
and assessment of the estimation process by the Companys
management.
Income
Taxes
The Company is included in the consolidated return of UHS and,
through an agreement with the Parent, account for their share of
the consolidated tax obligations using an as if separate
return methodology. In that regard, the Company accounts
for income taxes under the asset and liability method in
accordance with FASB authoritative guidance regarding accounting
for income taxes and its related uncertainty. This approach
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of
assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the
temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company
assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be
recovered from future taxable income to determine whether a
valuation allowance should be established.
Property
and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using
the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets,
which range from 25 to 40 years for buildings and
improvements and 2 to 7 years for equipment. Leasehold
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the
assets. Depreciation expense was $39,849, $268,232 and $292,689
for the period November 16, 2010 through December 31,
2010, the predecessor periods January 1, 2010 through
November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31,
2009, respectively. Depreciation expense includes the
amortization of assets recorded under capital leases.

Other
Assets
Other assets represent cash placed in escrow for the payment of
property taxes as such amounts become due.
Costs
in Excess of Net Assets Acquired (Goodwill)
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business
Combinations, and ASC 350, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Goodwill is reviewed at least annually
for impairment. Potential impairment exists if the
Companys carrying value exceeds its fair value. If the
Company identifies a potential impairment of goodwill, the
implied fair value of goodwill is determined. If the carrying
value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment
loss is recorded. The Company noted no goodwill impairment for
any periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
During 2010, goodwill increased by approximately
$7.4 million as a result of the acquisition of PSI
(including the Company) by UHS effective November 15, 2010.
Cash
Management
Due to Parent balances represent the initial capitalization of
the Company as well as the excess of funds transferred to or
paid on behalf of the Company over funds transferred to the
centralized cash management account of the Parent. Generally,
this balance is increased by automatic transfers from the
account to reimburse the Companys bank accounts for
operating expenses and to pay the Companys debt, completed
construction project additions, fees and services provided by
the Parent, including information systems services and other
operating expenses such as payroll, insurance, and income taxes.
Generally, this balance is decreased through daily cash deposits
by the Company to the centralized cash management account of the
Parent. The following paragraphs more fully describe the
methodology of allocating costs to the Company.
Management
Fees
The Parent allocates its corporate office expenses (excluding
interest, depreciation, taxes, and amortization) to its owned
and leased facilities (including the Company) as management
fees. These management fees are allocated based upon the
proportion of an individual facilitys total expenses to
the total expenses of all owned and leased facilities in the
aggregate. Management fees allocated to the Company for the
period from November 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010,
the predecessor periods from January 1, 2010 to
November 15, 2010, and for the year ended December 31,
2009, were $47,556, $382,427, and $464,429, respectively.
Although management considers the allocation method to be
reasonable, due to the relationship between the Company and its
Parent, the terms of the allocation may not necessarily be
indicative of that which would have resulted had the Company
been an unrelated entity.
Information
Technology Costs
Costs of information technology related to certain standard
Parent sponsored information technology platforms are included
in the management fee allocation.
General
and Professional Liability Risks
The costs of general and professional liability coverage are
allocated by the Parents wholly-owned captive insurance
subsidiary to the Company based on a percentage of revenue
adjusted by a factor which considers the type of entity as well
as historical loss experience. The general and professional
liability expense allocated to the Company was $20,380,
$136,587, and $146,614 for the period November 16, 2010
through December 31, 2010,
F-107

STATEMENTS (Continued)
and the predecessor periods January 1, 2010 through
November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31,
2009, respectively.
Workers
Compensation Risks
The Parent, on behalf of its affiliates, carries workers
compensation insurance from an unrelated commercial insurance
carrier. The Parents workers compensation program is
fully insured with a $500,000 deductible per accident. The cost
of this program is allocated to all covered affiliates based on
a percentage of anticipated payroll costs as adjusted for the
state in which the affiliate is located. Such costs allocated to
the Company totaled $15,378, $108,308 and $105,557 for the
period November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010,
and the predecessor periods January 1, 2010 through
November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31,
2009, respectively.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions which
arise in the ordinary course of business. The Parent assumes the
responsibility for all general and professional liability claims
incurred and maintains the related liabilities; accordingly, no
liability for general and professional claims is recorded on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes
that the ultimate resolution of such matters will be adequately
covered by insurance and will not have a material adverse effect
on their financial position or results of operations.
The Parents interest in the Company has been pledged as
collateral for the Parents borrowings under various credit
agreements.
Current
Operations
Final determination of amounts earned under prospective payment
and cost-reimbursement arrangements is subject to review by
appropriate governmental authorities or their agents. The
Company believes adequate provision has been made for any
adjustments that may result from such reviews.
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid
programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company
believes that it is in substantial compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any material
pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of
potential wrongdoing. While no material regulatory inquiries
have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be
subject to future government review and interpretation as well
as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and
exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF
THE MERGER ON SECURITIES
Section 2.01 Conversion
of Securities. At the Effective Time, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of
Acadia, Merger Sub, Pioneer or the holders of Pioneer
Class A Common Stock or Pioneer Class B Common Stock,
the following shall occur:
(a) Conversion of Pioneer
Shares. Each share of Pioneer Class A
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than (i) any shares of Pioneer
Class A Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to
Section 2.01(b), (ii) any shares of Pioneer
Class A Common Stock owned by any Pioneer Subsidiary and
(iii) any Dissenting Shares pursuant to
Section 2.03) shall be converted into and become
exchangeable for one-quarter
(1/4)
of one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Acadia (Acadia Common
Stock) (the Class A Merger
Consideration). Each share of Pioneer Class B
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than (i) any shares of Pioneer
Class B Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to
Section 2.01(b), (ii) any share of Pioneer
Class B Common Stock owned by any Pioneer Subsidiary and
(iii) any Dissenting Shares pursuant to
A-2
Section 2.03) shall be converted into and become
exchangeable for (x) one-quarter
(1/4)
of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acadia Common Stock
and (y) the Pioneer Per Share Class B Cash
Consideration (the Class B Merger
Consideration, and together with the
Class A Merger Consideration, the
Merger Consideration). At the Effective Time,
all shares of Pioneer Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding
and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease
to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to
receive the Merger Consideration therefor.
(b) Cancellation of Certain
Shares. Each share of Pioneer Common Stock
held in the treasury of Pioneer immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished
without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with
respect thereto.
(c) Merger Sub Units. The
membership interests in Merger Sub issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain the issued
and outstanding membership interests in the Surviving Company
after the Effective Time.
Section 2.02 Exchange
of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Agent and Exchange
Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Acadia
shall appoint an agent (the Exchange Agent)
reasonably acceptable to Pioneer for the purpose of exchanging
for Merger Consideration (i) certificates
(Certificates) representing shares of Pioneer
Common Stock (Certificated Shares) and
(ii) uncertificated shares of Pioneer Common Stock
(Uncertificated Shares). At or prior to the
Effective Time, Acadia shall deposit with or otherwise make
available to the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of
holders of shares of Pioneer Common Stock, (i) certificates
representing shares of Acadia Common Stock sufficient to deliver
the aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with
Section 2.01(a) and Section 2.02(e)(i)
and (ii) $5,000,000 cash for payment of the Pioneer
Class B Cash Consideration (such certificates for shares of
Acadia Common Stock and cash are collectively referred to as the
Exchange Fund). Acadia agrees to make
available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time after the
Closing as needed, any dividends or distributions to which such
holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(h) of
this Agreement, it being understood no holder of shares of
Acadia Common Stock received as Merger Consideration shall be
entitled to participate in any dividend or distribution
contemplated by Section 2.06 with respect to such
stock.
(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly
after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five
(5) Business Days following the Effective Time), Acadia
shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each
holder of record of shares of Pioneer Common Stock at the
Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions
reasonably acceptable to Pioneer (which shall specify that the
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall
pass, only upon proper surrender of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent and which shall otherwise be in customary form
and shall include customary provisions with respect to delivery
of an agents message regarding the transfer of
Pioneer Common Stock in book) for use in such exchange. Each
holder of Pioneer Common Stock whose Pioneer Common Stock have
been converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall be
entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange
Agent of one or more Certificates, together with a properly
completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an
agents message by the Exchange Agent (or such
other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may
reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of
Uncertificated Shares, (w) whole shares of Acadia Common
Stock to which such holder of Pioneer Common Stock shall have
become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article II
(after taking into account all shares of Pioneer Common Stock
then held by such holder), (x) a check representing the
amount, if any, of the Pioneer Class B Cash Consideration
such holder of Pioneer Common Stock shall have become entitled
pursuant to the provisions of Article II, and (y) a
check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional
shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to
Section 2.02(e) in respect of the Certificate(s) or
Uncertificated Shares surrendered or transferred pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 2.02, and (z) a
check representing the amount of any dividends or distributions
then payable pursuant to Section 2.02(h), and the
Certificate or Certificates so surrendered or transferred shall
forthwith be cancelled. The shares of Acadia Common Stock
constituting part of such Merger Consideration, at Acadias
option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a
physical certificate is requested by a holder of Pioneer Common
Stock or is otherwise required under Applicable Law. No interest
will be paid or accrued on any cash in lieu of fractional shares
or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders
of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares. Until so surrendered
or transferred, as the case may be,
A-3
each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent
after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to
receive such Merger Consideration and the right to receive any
dividends or other distributions pursuant to
Section 2.02(h).
(c) Issuance or Payment to Persons Other Than the
Registered Holder. If any portion of the
Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the
Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the
transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a
condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate
shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form
for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly
transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment
shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes
required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the
registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or
establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such
tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) No Further Rights in Pioneer Common
Stock. All Merger Consideration paid in
accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been
issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such
shares of Pioneer Common Stock. From and after the Effective
Time, the holders of Certificates and Uncertificated Shares
shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of
Pioneer Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein.
(e) Fractional Shares.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, no fractional shares of Acadia Common Stock
shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer
of Uncertificated Shares for exchange, no dividend or
distribution with respect to Acadia Common Stock shall be
payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such
fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof
to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Acadia.
(ii) As promptly as practicable following the Effective
Time, Acadia shall determine the excess of (x) the number
of full shares of Acadia Common Stock to be issued by Acadia
pursuant to Section 2.01(a) over (y) the
aggregate number of full shares of Acadia to be delivered
pursuant to Section 2.02(a) (such excess being
herein called the Closing Excess Shares). As
soon after the Effective Time as practicable, Acadia, as agent
for the holders of Pioneer Capital Stock, shall sell the Closing
Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the exchange or
electronic market on which such Closing Excess Shares are
traded, all in the manner provided in
Section 2.02(e)(iii) below.
(iii) The sale of the Closing Excess Shares by Acadia shall
be executed on the exchange or electronic market on which such
shares are traded through one or more member firms and shall be
executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net
proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the
holders of Pioneer Capital Stock, Acadia will hold such proceeds
in trust for the holders of Pioneer Capital Stock (the
Common Stock Trust). Acadia shall determine
the portion of the Common Stock Trust to which each holder of
Pioneer Capital Stock shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying
the amount of the aggregate net proceeds comprising the Common
Stock Trust by a fraction the numerator of which is the amount
of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Pioneer
Capital Stock is entitled and the denominator of which is the
aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all
holders of Pioneer Capital Stock are entitled.
(f) Termination of Exchange
Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund
deposited with or otherwise made available to the Exchange Agent
pursuant to Section 2.02(a) that remains unclaimed
by the holders of Pioneer Common Stock nine (9) months
after the Effective Time shall be returned to Acadia, upon
demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged its shares of
Acadia Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance
with this Section 2.02 prior to that time shall
thereafter look only to Acadia for, and Acadia shall remain
liable for, payment of the Merger Consideration, and any
dividends and distributions with respect thereto pursuant to
Section 2.02(h), in respect of such shares without
any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acadia
shall not be liable to any holder of Pioneer Common Stock for
any amounts properly paid to a public official pursuant to
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any
amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Pioneer Common Stock
five (5) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier
date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would
otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental
Entity) shall become, to the extent
A-4
permitted by applicable Law, the property of Acadia, free and
clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously
entitled thereto.
(g) Lost Certificates. If any
Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such
Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by
Acadia, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable
and customary amount as Acadia may direct, as indemnity against
any claim that may be made against it with respect to such lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Exchange Agent will cause
to be paid, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate, the Merger Consideration and any dividends or
distributions with respect thereto pursuant to
Section 2.02(h), in accordance with this Article II.
(h) Dividends and
Distributions. No dividends or other
distributions with respect to securities of Acadia constituting
part of the Merger Consideration shall be paid to the holder of
any Certificates not surrendered or of any Uncertificated Shares
not transferred until such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares
are surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, as provided
in Section 2.02(b). Following such surrender or transfer,
there shall be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose
name the securities of Acadia have been registered, the amount
of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time theretofore paid, without any interest thereon,
with respect to the whole shares of Acadia Common Stock
represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share, and
(ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of
dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date
subsequent to surrender, with respect to shares of Acadia Common
Stock represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share.
(i) Withholding. Notwithstanding
any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the
Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and Acadia shall be
entitled to deduct or withhold from the consideration otherwise
payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such
amounts as it is required to deduct or withhold with respect to
the making of such payment under any provision of federal,
state, local or foreign tax law. Pioneer shall, and shall cause
its Affiliates to, assist Acadia in making such deductions and
withholding as reasonably requested by Acadia. If the Exchange
Agent, the Surviving Company or Acadia, as the case may be, so
withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of
the shares of Pioneer Common Stock in respect of which the
Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company or Acadia, as the case may
be, made such deduction and withholding.
Section 2.03 Dissenters
Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, shares of Pioneer Class A Common
Stock and Pioneer Class B Common Stock that are issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which
are held by holders of shares of Pioneer Class A Common
Stock or Pioneer Class B Common Stock who have not voted in
favor of or consented thereto in writing and who have properly
demanded and perfected their rights to be paid the fair value of
such shares in accordance with Section 13.02 of the MBCA
(such shares, the Dissenting Shares),
shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right to
receive the Merger Consideration (except as provided in this
Section 2.03) and shall entitle such shareholder (a
Dissenting Shareholder) only to payment of
the fair value of such Dissenting Shares, in accordance with
Section 13.02 of the MBCA, unless and until such Dissenting
Shareholder withdraws (in accordance with Part 13 of the
MBCA) or effectively loses the right to dissent. Pioneer shall
not, except with the prior written consent of Acadia or as
otherwise required by applicable Law, voluntarily make (or cause
or permit to be made on its behalf) any payment with respect to,
or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment of
fair value of Dissenting Shares prior to the Effective Time.
Pioneer shall give Acadia prompt notice of any such demands
prior to the Effective Time and Acadia shall have the right to
participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with
respect to any such demands. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall
have effectively withdrawn (in accordance with Part 13 of
the MBCA) or lost the right to dissent, then as of the later of
the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, the
Dissenting Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder shall be
cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive
the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a).
Section 2.04 Stock
Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the
stock transfer books of Pioneer shall be closed (after giving
effect to the items contemplated by this
Article III) and thereafter, there shall be no further
registration of transfers of shares of Pioneer Common Stock
theretofore outstanding on the records of Pioneer. From
A-5
and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates shall
cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Pioneer
Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by Law.
Section 2.05 Pioneer
Options and Stock-Based Awards.
(a) Equity Award Waivers. Prior to
the Effective Time, Pioneer shall use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain all necessary waivers, consents or releases,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Acadia, from
holders of Pioneer Options and other equity awards under the
Pioneer Equity Plans and take all such other action, without
incurring any liabilities in connection therewith, as Acadia may
deem to be necessary to give effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Section 2.05. As promptly as
practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Pioneer
Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering
the Pioneer Equity Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take
such other actions as are required to give effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05.
(b) Pioneer Options. Effective as
of the Effective Time, each then outstanding option to purchase
shares of Pioneer Common Stock, whether vested or unvested,
(each a Pioneer Stock Option), pursuant to
the Pioneer Stock Plans and the award agreements evidencing the
grants thereunder, granted to any current or former employee or
director of, consultant or other service provider to, Pioneer or
any of its Subsidiaries shall be assumed by Acadia and shall, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
holder thereof, be converted into an option to purchase
one-quarter
(1/4)
of one share of Acadia Common Stock (an Assumed Stock
Option) for each share of Pioneer Common Stock subject
to such Pioneer Stock Option and the per share exercise price
for Acadia Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
Assumed Stock Option shall be equal to (i) the exercise
price per share of Pioneer Common Stock at which such Pioneer
Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective
Time multiplied by (ii) four (4) (rounded up to the nearest
whole cent), provided, however, that such conversion and
assumption of the Assumed Stock Options shall comply with the
regulations and other binding guidance under Section 409A
of the Code. Except as otherwise provided herein or as set forth
on Schedule 2.05(b) (the Assumed Stock Option Schedule),
the Assumed Stock Options shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions (including expiration date and exercise provisions as
contemplated by Pioneer Stock Plans) as were applicable to the
corresponding Pioneer Stock Options immediately prior to the
Effective Time.
(c) Pioneer Warrants. Effective as
of the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase
shares of Pioneer Common Stock (each a Pioneer
Warrant), pursuant to the award agreements evidencing
the grant thereunder, shall be assumed by Acadia and shall, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
holder thereof, be converted into a warrant to purchase
one-quarter
(1/4)
of one share of Acadia Common Stock (an Assumed
Warrant) for each share of Pioneer Common Stock
subject to such Pioneer Warrant and the per share exercise price
for Acadia Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (i) the exercise price
per share of Pioneer Common Stock at which such Pioneer Warrant
was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by (ii) four (4) (rounded up to the nearest
whole cent), provided, however, that such conversion and
assumption of the Assumed Warrant shall comply with the
regulations and other binding guidance under Section 409A
of the Code. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Assumed
Warrants shall be subject to the same terms and conditions
(including expiration date and exercise provisions as
contemplated by the applicable award agreement) as were
applicable to the corresponding Pioneer Warrant immediately
prior to the Effective Time.
(d) Miscellaneous. All amounts
payable under this Section 2.05 shall be reduced by
amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the
Code or any provision of U.S. state, local or foreign Tax
Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld or deducted, such withheld or
deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom
such withholding or deduction was made.
Section 2.06 Acadia
Common Stock and Related Matter.
(a) Existing Acadia Shares. Prior
to the Effective Time, Acadia shall consummate a stock split,
reverse stock split or issuance of Acadia Common Stock such that
the shares of Acadia Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (Pre-Merger Acadia
Stock) will, immediately following the Effective Time,
equal 77.5% of the Fully Diluted Shares.
A-6
(b) Deficit Note(s). At the
Effective Time, if the Net Proceeds Condition is not met, Acadia
shall issue to the holders of Acadia Common Stock immediately
prior to the Effective Time the Deficit Note(s).
(c) Net Proceeds. Immediately
prior to the Effective Time Acadia shall have the right to
declare and, if so declared, at the Effective Time Acadia shall
pay a cash dividend to the holders of shares Acadia Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Proceeds minus
the PSA Termination Amount. While under no obligation to make a
dividend, it is Acadias intention to declare such dividend.
(d) Professional Services
Agreement. At the Effective Time, in
connection with the Merger, the financing and the termination of
the Professional Services Agreement, Acadia shall have the right
to pay the PSA Amount to Waud Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to
the terms of a termination agreement.

evaluating or developing an Acquisition Proposal;
(C) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any
standstill or confidentiality agreement or Takeover Statutes, or

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 6.04(a) but subject to the last sentence of
this Section 6.04(b), at any time following the date

Stockholder Approval, Pioneer may, subject to compliance with
this Section 6.04:
(i) provide information in response to a request therefor
to a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written
Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement if and
only if, prior to providing such information, Pioneer has
received from the Person so requesting such information an
executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, provided
that Pioneer shall promptly make available to Acadia any
material information concerning Pioneer and its Subsidiaries
that is provided to any Person making such Acquisition Proposal
that is given such access and that was not previously made
available to Acadia or its Representatives; and
(ii) engage or participate in any discussions or
negotiations with any Person who has made such an unsolicited

Proposal either constitutes a Superior
A-35

Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pioneer shall not
provide any commercially sensitive non-public information to any

Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus,

understanding or similar document or Contract relating to any
Acquisition Proposal (other than any Acceptable Confidentiality

make any other public statement that is inconsistent with the
Pioneer Board Recommendation (any action described in
clauses (A) through (G), a Pioneer Board Adverse
Recommendation Change); or
(ii) cause or permit Pioneer or any of its Subsidiaries to
enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or
similar definitive agreement (other than any Acceptable
Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with
Section 6.04(b)) (an Alternative
Acquisition Agreement) relating to any Acquisition
Proposal.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Pioneer
Stockholder Approval, if Pioneer has received a bona fide
written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not
withdrawn and that the Pioneer Board concludes in good faith
constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Pioneer Board may effect a
Pioneer Board Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such
Superior Proposal if and only if:
(i) the Pioneer Board determines in good faith, after
consultation with independent financial advisor and outside
legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with
its fiduciary obligations under applicable laws;
(ii) Pioneer shall have complied with its obligations under
this Section 6.04;
(iii) Pioneer shall have provided prior written notice to
Acadia at least five (5) Business Days in advance (the
Notice Period), to the effect that the
Pioneer Board has received a bona fide written
Acquisition Proposal that is not withdrawn and that the Pioneer
Board concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal
and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Pioneer Board has resolved to effect a Pioneer
Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this
Section 6.04(d), which notice shall specify the
basis for such Pioneer Adverse Recommendation Change, including
the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal, the
material terms thereof and copies of all relevant documents
relating to such Superior Proposal; and
(iv) prior to effecting such Pioneer Board Adverse
Recommendation Change, Pioneer shall, and shall cause their
Representatives to, during the Notice Period, (1) negotiate
with Acadia and its financial and legal advisors in good faith
(to the extent Acadia desires to negotiate) to make such
adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so
that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a
Superior Proposal, and (2) permit Acadia and its financial
and legal advisors to make a presentation to the Pioneer Board
regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect
thereto (to the extent Acadia desires to make such
presentation); provided, that in the event of any
material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Pioneer
A-36
Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal, Pioneer shall be
required to deliver a new written notice to Acadia and to comply
with the requirements of this Section 6.04 including
6.04(d)) with respect to such new written notice.
None of Pioneer, the Pioneer Board or any committee of the
Pioneer Board shall enter into any binding agreement with any
Person to limit or not to give prior notice to Acadia of its
intention to effect a Pioneer Board Adverse Recommendation
Change.
(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.04
shall be deemed to prohibit Pioneer or the Pioneer Board from
(i) complying with its disclosure obligations under
U.S. federal or state law with regard to an Acquisition
Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a
position contemplated by
Rule 14d-9
or
Rule 14e-2(a)
under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to
stockholders), provided that any such disclosure (other than a
stop, look and listen communication or similar
communication of the type contemplated by
Rule 14d-9(f)
under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Pioneer Board
Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Pioneer Board expressly
publicly reaffirms the Pioneer Recommendation within two
(2) Business Days following any request by Acadia, or
(ii) making any stop-look-and-listen
communication or similar communication of the type contemplated
by
Rule 14d-9(f)
under the Exchange Act.
(f) From and after the date hereof, Pioneer agrees that it
will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify
Acadia if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition
Proposal are received by, any non-public information is
requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to
be initiated or continued with, Pioneer or any of its
Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the
identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or
proposal, the material terms and conditions of any proposals or
offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written
requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements)
and thereafter shall keep Acadia reasonably informed, on a
prompt basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or
offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any
such discussions or negotiations, including any change in
Pioneers intentions as previously notified.
(g) No Pioneer Board Adverse Recommendation Change shall
change the approval of the Pioneer Board for purposes of causing
any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Pioneer shall promptly notify
Acadia of any breach of any (including the standstill provisions
thereof) by the counterparty thereto, or any request by the
counterparty to any Existing Confidentiality Agreement that
Pioneer or the Pioneer board waive the standstill provision
thereof or authorize or give permission to such counterparty to
take actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the
standstill provisions thereof. To the extent Acadia
and/or
Pioneer believes that there has been a breach of any Existing
Confidentiality Agreement by the counterparty thereto, Pioneer
shall take all necessary actions to enforce such Existing
Confidentiality Agreement.
(h) Pioneer agrees that in the event any of its
Representatives takes any action which, if taken by Pioneer,
would constitute a breach of this Section 6.04, then
Pioneer shall be deemed to be in breach of this
Section 6.04.
Section 6.05 Directors
and Officers Indemnification and
Insurance.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, Acadia and the
Surviving Company shall, jointly and severally, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold
harmless the present and former officers, directors and limited
liability company managers of Pioneer and its Subsidiaries (each
an Indemnified Party) against all costs and
expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines,
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid
in connection with any Action (whether arising before or after
the Effective Time), whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or
omission in their capacity as an officer, director, limited
liability company manager, employee, fiduciary or agent, whether

such Action, (i) Acadia and the Surviving Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the
Indemnified Parties promptly after statements therefor are
received, (ii) neither Acadia nor the Surviving Company
shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment
in any pending or threatened Action to which an Indemnified
Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could
be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out
of such Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents, and
(iii) Acadia and the Surviving Company shall cooperate in
the defense of any such
A-37
matter; provided that, neither Acadia nor the Surviving
Company shall be liable for any settlement effected without such
Persons written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); and, provided further,
that all rights to indemnification in respect of such claim
shall continue until the final and nonappealable disposition of
such claim. The rights of each Indemnified Person under this
Section 6.05(a) shall be in addition to any rights
such Person may have under the governing documents of Acadia and
the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries,
or under any law or under any agreement of any Indemnified
Person with Acadia, the Surviving Company or any of their
respective Subsidiaries.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Pioneer shall and, if
Pioneer is unable to, the Surviving Company shall, as of the

extension of the directors and officers liability
coverage of Pioneers existing directors and
officers insurance policies, for a claims reporting or
discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after
the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any
period or time at or prior to the Effective Time from an
insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as
Pioneers current insurance carrier with respect to
directors and officers liability insurance and
fiduciary liability insurance (the D&O
Insurance) with terms, conditions, retentions and
limits of liability that are at least as favorable as the
coverage provided under Pioneers existing policy with
respect to any matter claimed against a director or officer of
Pioneer or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her
serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to
the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement
or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby).
(c) In the event Acadia, the Surviving Company or any of
their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates
with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation
or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of
its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such
case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and
assigns of Acadia or the Surviving Company, as the case may be,
shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this
Section 6.05.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6.05 are
intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by,
each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal
representatives.

Pioneers respective employee benefit and compensation
plans and programs in order to (i) coordinate the provision
of benefits and compensation to the employees of Pioneer and

Time, (ii) eliminate duplicative benefits, and
(iii) in all material respects, treat similarly situated
employees of Pioneer, Acadia and their respective Subsidiaries
on a substantially similar basis, taking into account all
relevant factors, including duties, geographic location, tenure,
qualifications and abilities.
(b) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
requiring Pioneer, Acadia or any of their respective
Subsidiaries to continue the employment of any specific Person.
Furthermore, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed
as prohibiting or limiting the ability of Pioneer, Acadia or any
of their respective Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate
any plans, programs, policies, arrangements, agreements or
understandings of Pioneer or Acadia or any of their respective
Subsidiaries (including all Pioneer Plans and all Acadia Plans)
in accordance with their terms. Nothing in this
Section 6.06 shall confer any rights or remedies of
any kind upon any employee or any other Person other than the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 6.07 Further
Action.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including Section 6.04, each party shall use
reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain promptly all

Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Pioneer shall
use reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable
after the date of this Agreement any consent, approval or waiver
required in connection with the Transactions under a Pioneer
Material Contract, and (ii) Acadia shall use reasonable
best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable after the date

Governmental Authorities as promptly as possible any additional
information and documentary material that may be requested
pursuant to the HSR Act.
(b) Each party promptly shall notify each other party
hereto of any material communication it or any of its Affiliates
receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters
that are the subject of this Agreement. Subject to any
applicable preexisting confidentiality agreement (so long as
such party has taken all reasonable steps to permit access or
disclosure) and applicable attorney-client privilege, each party
shall be entitled to review in advance any proposed substantive
communication by any other party to any Governmental Authority
in connection with the Transactions, and each party shall make
any revisions thereto reasonably requested by the other party.
None of the parties to this Agreement shall agree to participate
in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any
filings, investigation (including any settlement of the
investigation), litigation or other inquiry relating to the
matters that are the subject of this Agreement unless it
consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not
prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party
the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. The
parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully
with each other in exchanging such information and providing
such assistance as each other party may reasonably request in
connection with the foregoing, subject to any applicable
preexisting confidentiality agreements (so long as such party
has taken all reasonable steps to permit access or disclosure)
and applicable attorney-client privilege. The parties to this
Agreement will provide each other with copies of all material
correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of
their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental
Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with
respect to this Agreement and the Transactions; provided
that, each party may redact materials as necessary to
address required confidentially (so long as such party has taken
all reasonable steps to permit access or disclosure) or
reasonable attorney-client privilege concerns. In furtherance of
the foregoing, all information exchanged between or among the
parties under this Section 6.07 shall be kept
confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.
(c) In the event that any administrative or judicial Action
is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental
Authority or private party challenging the Merger or any other
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other
agreement contemplated hereby, each of Acadia, Pioneer and
Merger Sub shall cooperate in all respects and shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such
Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any
order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in
effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of
the Transactions.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, none of Pioneer, Acadia nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries shall be required to, and Pioneer,
Merger Sub and Acadia may not, without the prior written consent
of the other party, become subject to, consent to, or offer or
agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any
requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or
order to (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold
separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion
of business of Pioneer, Acadia, Merger Sub, the Surviving
Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries,
(ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change
the assets, business or portion of business of Pioneer, Acadia,
Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or any of their respective
Subsidiaries in any manner, or (iii) impose any
restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the
business or portion of the business of Pioneer, Acadia, Merger
Sub, the Surviving Company or any of their respective
Subsidiaries.
(e) With respect to any shareholder litigation against
Pioneer
and/or its
directors relating to the Transactions, Pioneer shall
(i) promptly notify Acadia of the initiation of any such
litigation, (ii) promptly notify Acadia of any material
communication or development with respect to such litigation and
(iii) consult in good faith with Acadia with respect to any
material decisions and Pioneers general strategy regarding
such litigation and otherwise give Acadia the opportunity to
participate in the defense, settlement
and/or
prosecution of any such litigation; provided,
A-39
that neither Pioneer nor any of its Subsidiaries or
Representatives shall compromise, settle, come to an arrangement
regarding or agree to compromise, settle or come to an
arrangement regarding any such litigation or consent to the same
unless Acadia shall have consented in writing; provided,
further, that after receipt of the Pioneer Shareholder
Approval, Pioneer shall cooperate with Acadia and, if requested
by Acadia, use its reasonable best efforts to settle any
unresolved shareholder litigation against Pioneer
and/or its
directors relating to the Transactions in accordance with
Acadias direction.
Section 6.08 Update
Disclosure; Breaches.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the
Effective Time, each party hereto promptly shall notify the
other party hereto by written update to its Disclosure Schedule
of (i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event
that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to cause any condition to the obligations of any party
to effect the Transactions not to be satisfied, (ii) any
Action commenced or, to any partys knowledge, threatened
against, such party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or
otherwise relating to, involving or affecting such party or any
of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case in connection
with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Transactions, or
(iii) the failure of such party to comply with or satisfy
any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with by it
pursuant to this Agreement which, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be likely to result in any condition
to the obligations of any party to effect the Transactions not
to be satisfied; provided, however, that the
delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.08
shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty
requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this
Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available
hereunder to the party receiving such notice. The failure to
deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions
set forth in Article VII.
(b) Promptly following the closing pursuant to the
MeadowWood Asset Purchase Agreement, but no later than ten
(10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Pioneer shall
deliver to Acadia and Merger Sub a supplement to the Pioneer
Disclosure Schedule (the MeadowWood
Schedule Supplement) containing any additions,
revisions or modifications to the Pioneer Disclosure Schedule
that are required as a result of Pioneers acquisition of
the assets of MeadowWood Behavioral Health System pursuant to
the MeadowWood Asset Purchase Agreement (it being understood and
agreed that the MeadowWood Schedule Supplement will include
all matters which would have been included on the Pioneer
Disclosure Schedules if the closing pursuant to the MeadowWood
Asset Purchase Agreement had been consummated prior to the date
hereof). The MeadowWood Schedule Supplement shall
automatically be deemed incorporated into the Pioneer Disclosure
Schedule effective as of the date of the closing pursuant to the
MeadowWood Asset Purchase Agreement, and any reference herein to
the Pioneer Disclosure Schedule shall be thereafter
be deemed to refer to the Pioneer Disclosure Schedule as amended
and revised by the MeadowWood Schedule Supplement, unless
the additions, revisions and modifications set forth on the
MeadowWood Schedule Supplement disclose events or
circumstances that, together with any other events,
circumstances
and/or other
matters would cause the condition in Section 7.02(a)
to not be satisfied as of the date of delivery of the MeadowWood
Schedule Supplement, in which case Acadia shall have ten
(10) Business Days after Pioneers delivery of the
MeadowWood Schedule Supplement to terminate this Agreement
by delivery of written notice to Pioneer.
Section 6.09 Stock
Exchange Listing. Each of Acadia and Pioneer
shall cooperate with the other and use its reasonable best
efforts to cause the shares of Acadia Common Stock to be issued
in connection with the Merger to be listed on Nasdaq, subject to
official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time. If
such listing on Nasdaq is not possible, each of Acadia and
Pioneer shall cooperate with the other and use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the shares of Acadia Common Stock to be
issued in connection with the Merger to be listed on to be
listed on AMEX or another national securities exchange, subject
to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time. If

another national securities exchange. Acadia and Pioneer shall
bear 75% and 25%, respectively, of the listing fee incurred in
obtaining (or attempting to obtain) such listing(s)
and/or
trading eligibility.
A-40
Section 6.10 Section 16
Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Pioneer
and Acadia shall take all steps necessary to cause the
Transactions, including any acquisition of Acadia Common Stock
in connection with this Agreement, by each individual who is or
will be subject to the reporting requirements under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Acadia,
to be exempt under
Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Section 6.11 Takeover
Statutes. If any control share
acquisition, fair price,
moratorium or other anti-takeover law becomes or is
deemed to be applicable to Acadia, Pioneer, Merger Sub, the
Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement,
then each of Acadia, Pioneer, Merger Sub, and their respective
boards of directors or managers shall grant all such approvals
and take all such actions as are necessary so that the
Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on
the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such
anti-takeover law inapplicable to this Agreement and the
Transactions.
Section 6.12 Deregistration. Pioneer
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its shares of
Pioneer Class A Common Stock to no longer be quoted on the
AMEX and to be de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as
practicable following the Effective Time.
Section 6.13 Tax
Free Reorganization Treatment.
(a) Acadia, Merger Sub, and Pioneer intend that the Merger
be treated for federal income tax purposes as a
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code
(to which each of Acadia and Pioneer are to be parties under
Section 368(b) of the Code) in which Pioneer is to be
treated as merging directly with and into Acadia, with the
Pioneer Class A Common Stock and Pioneer Class B
Common Stock converted in such merger into the right to receive
the consideration provided for hereunder, and each shall file
all Tax Returns consistent with, and take no position
inconsistent with, such treatment. The parties to this Agreement
agree to make such reasonable representations as requested by
counsel for the purpose of rendering the opinions described in
Section 7.02(h) and Section 7.03(f), including
representations in the Pioneer Tax Certificate (in the case of
Pioneer) and in the Acadia Tax Certificate (in the case of
Acadia).
(b) Acadia, Merger Sub, and Pioneer hereby adopt this
Agreement as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of
Sections 1.368-2(g)
and 1.368-3(a) of the Regulations.
(c) None of Acadia, Merger Sub, or Pioneer shall, nor shall
they permit their Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company
after the Effective Time) to, take any action before or after
the Effective Time that would prevent the Merger from qualifying
as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. For avoidance of doubt, Acadia
(on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries), Merger Sub
and Pioneer shall elect, pursuant to Notice
2010-25 to
apply Proposed Treasury Regulation
section 1.368-1(e)(2),
the text of which was set forth in Treasury Regulation
section 1.368-1T(e)(2).
(d) Prior to Closing, (i) neither Acadia nor Merger
Sub shall take, or cause its Subsidiaries to take, any action
that would adversely impact the ability of counsel to provide
the opinions pursuant to Section 7.02(h) and
Section 7.03(f) or the ability of Acadia to deliver the
Acadia Tax Certificate, and (ii) Pioneer shall not take,
and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to take, any action that
would adversely impact the ability of counsel to provide the
opinions pursuant to Section 7.02(h) and
Section 7.03(f) or the ability of Pioneer to deliver the
Pioneer Tax Certificate. For avoidance of doubt, neither Acadia
nor Merger Sub shall make or permit to be taken any action that
would cause Merger Sub to, at any time from the date of this
Agreement to and through the end of the day which includes the
Effective Time, be other than a disregarded entity as defined in
Treasury Regulation

and survive any termination of this Agreement; provided,

liabilities or damages arising out of its willful breach of any
provision of this Agreement (including the failure by any party
to pay any amounts due pursuant to this
Section 8.02)), which the parties acknowledge and
agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or
out-of-pocket
costs, and may include to the extent proved the benefit of the
bargain lost by a partys stockholders (taking into
consideration relevant matters), which shall be deemed in such
event to be damages of such party. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any party be
liable for (i) punitive damages (unless awarded to a third
party) or (ii) any amount in excess of the Termination Fee
in the event such fee is
A-47
actually paid by such party. The Lenders and each Indemnified
Party (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letters) are express
third-party beneficiaries of clause (i) of the preceding

shall pay the Termination Fee to Acadia promptly, but in any
event within two (2) Business Days after the date of such
termination, by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more
accounts designated by Acadia.
(ii) In the event that (x) this Agreement is
terminated (A) by either Acadia or Pioneer pursuant to
Section 8.01(b)(i) or
Section 8.01(b)(iii) or (B) by Acadia pursuant
to Section 8.01(d)(i) or

this Agreement and prior to the twelve (12) month
anniversary of the termination of this Agreement, Pioneer
consummates an Acquisition Proposal, enters into any letter of
intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other
similar agreement related to an Acquisition Proposal, or Pioneer
files a Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on
Schedule 14D-9
that includes the Pioneer Boards recommendation of any
Acquisition Proposal to Pioneers stockholders, then
Pioneer shall, on the date an Acquisition Proposal is
consummated, any such letter is executed or agreement is entered
into or any such statement is filed with the SEC, pay the
Termination Fee (less the amount of any Acadia Reimbursed
Expenses previously paid to Acadia pursuant to
Section 8.02(c), if any) to Acadia by wire transfer
of same day funds to one or more accounts designated by Acadia;
provided, that for purposes of this
Section 8.02(b)(ii), all percentages in the

second and third anniversary of such termination date).
(ii) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Acadia
pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i) or
Section 8.01(d)(iii), under circumstances in which
the Termination Fee is not then payable pursuant to
Section 8.02(b), then Pioneer shall, following
receipt of an invoice therefor, pay all of Acadias
reasonably documented
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
actually incurred by Acadia and its Affiliates on or prior to
the termination of this Agreement in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the
Financing) (the Acadia Reimbursed Expenses),
which amount shall in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the
aggregate, in four annual installments (with the first such
payment made within two (2) Business Days of such
termination, and the remaining payments being made on the first,
second and third anniversary of such termination date), to one
or more accounts designated by Acadia; provided, that
(x) the existence of circumstances which could require the

pursuant to Section 8.02(b) shall not relieve Pioneer of
its obligations to pay the Acadia Reimbursed Expenses pursuant
to this Section 8.02(c); (y) that the payment
by Pioneer of the Acadia Reimbursed Expenses pursuant to this

expense reimbursement payments shall be due on the same date as
any subsequent obligation to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to

Agreement under circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable
are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and
therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to
Section 8.02(b) are not a penalty but rather
constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will
compensate Acadia or Pioneer, as applicable, for the
A-48
efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while
negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and
on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements
contained in this Section 8.02, neither Pioneer nor
Acadia would have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if
either Pioneer or Acadia (as applicable, the Non-Paying
Party) fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant
to Section 8.02(b) and, in order to obtain such
payment, the party seeking such payment commences a suit that
results in a judgment against the Non-Paying Party for the
applicable amount set forth in Section 8.02(b) or
Section 8.02(c) or any portion thereof, the
Non-Paying Party shall pay to the party seeking such payment all
costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by
such party and its Affiliates in connection with such suit,
together with interest on the amount of such amount or portion
thereof at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date
such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.
Section 8.03 Extension;
Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective
Time, the parties may, to the extent permitted by applicable law
and, subject to Section 8.04, (i) extend
the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other
acts of the other parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in
the representations and warranties contained herein or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) waive
compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained
herein; provided, however, that after any approval
of this Agreement by the Pioneers stockholders, there may
not be any extension or waiver of this Agreement which decreases
the Merger Consideration or which adversely affects the rights
of Pioneers stockholders hereunder without the approval of
such stockholders. Any agreement on the part of a party to any
such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a
written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure
of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or
otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
Section 8.04 Amendment. This
Agreement may be amended by the parties by action taken by or on
behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior
to the Effective Time; and provided, that after approval
of the Agreement by the stockholders of Pioneer, no amendment
that, by law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant
stock exchange, requires further approval by such stockholders
may be made without further stockholder approval. This Agreement
may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by
Acadia and Pioneer.

Schedules. Any reference in a particular
Section of either the Acadia Disclosure Schedule or the Pioneer

as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the
corresponding Section of this Agreement, and (ii) any other
representations and warranties of such party that are contained
in this Agreement, but only in each case if the relevance of
that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes

memoranda, presentations or any other materials or information
provided or addressed to any party or any of its Representatives

information is the subject of any representation or warranty set
forth in this Agreement.

Subdivision
B. Procedure for Exercise of Appraisal Rights
§ 13.20. Notice of Appraisal Rights.
(a) If proposed corporate action described in
subsection (a) of section 13.02 is to be submitted to
a vote at a shareholders meeting or through the

assert appraisal rights under this chapter and refer to the
necessity of the shareholder delivering, before the vote is
taken, written notice of his intent to demand payment and to the
requirement that he not vote his shares in favor of the proposed
action. If the corporation concludes that appraisal rights are
or may be available, a copy of this chapter shall accompany the
meeting notice sent to those record shareholders entitled to
exercise appraisal rights.
(b) In a merger pursuant to section 11.05, the parent
corporation shall notify in writing all record shareholders of
the subsidiary who are entitled to assert appraisal rights that
the corporate action became effective. Such notice shall be sent
within 10 days after the corporate action became effective
and include the materials described in section 13.22.
§ 13.21. Notice of Intent to Demand
Payment.
(a) If proposed corporate action requiring appraisal rights
under section 13.02 is submitted to vote at a
shareholders meeting, a shareholder who wishes to assert
appraisal rights with respect to any class or series of shares:
(1) shall deliver to the corporation before the vote is
taken written notice of the shareholders intent to demand
payment if the proposed action is effectuated; and
(2) shall not vote, or cause or permit to be voted, any
shares of such class or series in favor of the proposed action.
(b) A shareholder who does not satisfy the requirements of
subsection (a) is not entitled to payment under this
chapter.
§ 13.22. Appraisal Notice and Form.
(a) If proposed corporate action requiring appraisal rights
under subsection (a) of section 13.02 becomes
effective, the corporation shall deliver a written appraisal
notice and form required by clause (1) of
subsection (b) to all shareholders who satisfied the
requirements of section 13.21 or, if the action was taken
by written consent, did not consent. In the case of a merger
under section 11.05, the parent shall deliver a written
appraisal notice and form to all record shareholders who may be
entitled to assert appraisal rights.
(b) The appraisal notice shall be sent no earlier than the
date the corporate action became effective and no later than
10 days after such date and must:
(1) supply a form that specifies the date of the first
announcement to shareholders of the principal terms of the
proposed corporate action and requires the shareholder asserting
appraisal rights to certify (A) whether or not beneficial
ownership of those shares for which appraisal rights are
asserted was acquired before that date and (B) that the
shareholder did not vote for the transaction;
(2) state:
(i) where the form shall be sent and where certificates for
certificated shares shall be deposited and the date by which
those certificates shall be deposited, which date may not be
earlier than the date for receiving the required form under
subclause (ii);
(ii) a date by which the corporation shall receive the form
which date may not be fewer than 40 nor more than 60 days
after the date the subsection (a) appraisal notice and form
are sent, and state that the shareholder shall have waived the
right to demand appraisal with respect to the shares unless the
form is received by the corporation by such specified date;
(iii) the corporations estimate of the fair value of
the shares;
B-4
(iv) that, if requested in writing, the corporation will
provide, to the shareholder so requesting, within 10 days
after the date specified in clause (ii) the number of
shareholders who return the forms by the specified date and the
total number of shares owned by them; and
(v) the date by which the notice to withdraw under
section 13.23 shall be received, which date shall be within
20 days after the date specified in subclause (ii) of
this subsection; and
(3) be accompanied by a copy of this chapter.
§ 13.23. Perfection of Rights; Right to
Withdraw.
(a) A shareholder who receives notice pursuant to
section 13.22 and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights
shall certify on the form sent by the corporation whether the
beneficial owner of the shares acquired beneficial ownership of
the shares before the date required to be set forth in the
notice pursuant to clause (1) of subsection (b) of
section 13.22. If a shareholder fails to make this
certification, the corporation may elect to treat the
shareholders shares as after-acquired shares under
section 13.25. In addition, a shareholder who wishes to
exercise appraisal rights shall execute and return the form and,
in the case of certificated shares, deposit the
shareholders certificates in accordance with the terms of
the notice by the date referred to in the notice pursuant to
subclause (ii) of clause (2) of subsection (b) of
section 13.22. Once a shareholder deposits that
shareholders certificates or, in the case of
uncertificated shares, returns the executed forms, that
shareholder loses all rights as a shareholder, unless the
shareholder withdraws pursuant to said subsection (b).
(b) A shareholder who has complied with subsection (a)
may nevertheless decline to exercise appraisal rights and
withdraw from the appraisal process by so notifying the
corporation in writing by the date set forth in the appraisal
notice pursuant to subclause (v) of clause (2) of
subsection (b) of section 13.22. A shareholder who
fails to so withdraw from the appraisal process may not
thereafter withdraw without the corporations written
consent.
(c) A shareholder who does not execute and return the form
and, in the case of certificated shares, deposit that
shareholders share certificates where required, each by
the date set forth in the notice described in
subsection (b) of section 13.22, shall not be entitled
to payment under this chapter.
§ 13.24. Payment.
(a) Except as provided in section 13.25, within
30 days after the form required by subclause (ii) of
clause (2) of subsection (b) of section 13.22 is
due, the corporation shall pay in cash to those shareholders who
complied with subsection (a) of section 13.23 the
amount the corporation estimates to be the fair value of their
shares, plus interest.
(b) The payment to each shareholder pursuant to
subsection (a) shall be accompanied by:
(1) financial statements of the corporation that issued the
shares to be appraised, consisting of a balance sheet as of the
end of a fiscal year ending not more than 16 months before
the date of payment, an income statement for that year, a
statement of changes in shareholders equity for that year,
and the latest available interim financial statements, if any;
(2) a statement of the corporations estimate of the
fair value of the shares, which estimate shall equal or exceed
the corporations estimate given pursuant to
subclause (iii) of clause (2) of subsection (b)
of section 13.22; and
(3) a statement that shareholders described in
subsection (a) have the right to demand further payment
under section 13.26 and that if any such shareholder does
not do so within the time period specified therein, such
shareholder shall be deemed to have accepted the payment in full
satisfaction of the corporations obligations under this
chapter.
§ 13.25. After-Acquired Shares.
(a) A corporation may elect to withhold payment required by
section 13.24 from any shareholder who did not certify that
beneficial ownership of all of the shareholders shares for
which appraisal rights are asserted was acquired before the date
set forth in the appraisal notice sent pursuant to
clause (1) of subsection (b) of section 13.22.
B-5
(b) If the corporation elected to withhold payment under
subsection (a) it must, within 30 days after the form
required by subclause (ii) of clause (2) of
subsection (b) of section 13.22 is due, notify all
shareholders who are described in subsection (a):
(1) of the information required by clause (1) of
subsection (b) of section 13.24:
(2) of the corporations estimate of fair value
pursuant to clause (2) of subsection (b) of said
section 13.24;
(3) that they may accept the corporations estimate of
fair value, plus interest, in full satisfaction of their demands
or demand appraisal under section 13.26;
(4) that those shareholders who wish to accept the offer
shall so notify the corporation of their acceptance of the
corporations offer within 30 days after receiving the
offer; and
(5) that those shareholders who do not satisfy the
requirements for demanding appraisal under section 13.26
shall be deemed to have accepted the corporations offer.
(c) Within 10 days after receiving the
shareholders acceptance pursuant to subsection(b), the
corporation shall pay in cash the amount it offered under
clause (2) of subsection (b) to each shareholder who
agreed to accept the corporations offer in full
satisfaction of the shareholders demand.
(d) Within 40 days after sending the notice described
in subsection (b), the corporation must pay in cash the amount
if offered to pay under clause (2) of subsection (b)
to each shareholder deserved in clause (5) of subsection
(b).
§ 13.26. Procedure if Shareholder
Dissatisfied With Payment or Offer.
(a) A shareholder paid pursuant to section 13.24 who
is dissatisfied with the amount of the payment shall notify the
corporation in writing of that shareholders estimate of
the fair value of the shares and demand payment of that estimate
plus interest, less any payment under section 13.24. A
shareholder offered payment under section 13.25 who is
dissatisfied with that offer shall reject the offer and demand
payment of the shareholders stated estimate of the fair
value of the shares plus interest.
(b) A shareholder who fails to notify the corporation in
writing of that shareholders demand to be paid the
shareholders stated estimate of the fair value plus
interest under subsection (a) within 30 days after
receiving the corporations payment or offer of payment
under section 13.24 or section 13.25, respectively,
waives the right to demand payment under this section and shall
be entitled only to the payment made or offered pursuant to
those respective sections.
Subdivision
C. Judicial Appraisal of Shares
§ 13.30. Court Action.
(a) If a shareholder makes demand for payment under
section 13.26 which remains unsettled, the corporation
shall commence an equitable proceeding within 60 days after
receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine
the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the
corporation does not commence the proceeding within the
60-day
period, it shall pay in cash to each shareholder the amount the
shareholder demanded pursuant to section 13.26 plus
interest.
(b) The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the
appropriate court of the county where the corporations
principal office, or, if none, its registered office, in the
commonwealth is located. If the corporation is a foreign
corporation without a registered office in the commonwealth, it
shall commence the proceeding in the county in the commonwealth
where the principal office or registered office of the domestic
corporation merged with the foreign corporation was located at
the time of the transaction.
(c) The corporation shall make all shareholders, whether or
not residents of the commonwealth, whose demands remain
unsettled parties to the proceeding as an action against their
shares, and all parties shall be served
B-6
with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by
registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by
law or otherwise as ordered by the court.
(d) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding
is commenced under subsection (b) is plenary and exclusive.
The court may appoint 1 or more persons as appraisers to receive
evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value.
The appraisers shall have the powers described in the order
appointing them, or in any amendment to it. The shareholders
demanding appraisal rights are entitled to the same discovery
rights as parties in other civil proceedings.
(e) Each shareholder made a party to the proceeding is
entitled to judgment (i) for the amount, if any, by which
the court finds the fair value of the shareholders shares,
plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation to the
shareholder for such shares or (ii) for the fair value,
plus interest, of the shareholders shares for which the
corporation elected to withhold payment under section 13.25.
§ 13.31. Court Costs and Counsel
Fees.
(a) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under
section 13.30 shall determine all costs of the proceeding,
including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers
appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against
the corporation, except that the court may assess cost against
all or some of the shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts
the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds such
shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good
faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.
(b) The court in an appraisal proceeding may also assess
the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective
parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:
(1) against the corporation and in favor of any or all
shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds the
corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements
of sections 13.20, 13.22, 13.24 or 13.25; or
(2) against either the corporation or a shareholder
demanding appraisal, in favor of any other party, if the court
finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are
assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith
with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.
(c) If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the
services of counsel for any shareholder were of substantial
benefit to other shareholders similarly situated, and that the
fees for those services should not be assessed against the
corporation, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees
to be paid out of the amounts awarded the shareholders who were
benefited.
(d) To the extent the corporation fails to make a required
payment pursuant to sections 13.24, 13.25, or 13.26, the
shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the
extent successful, shall be entitled to recover from the
corporation all costs and expenses of the suit, including
counsel fees.

Board of Directors
PHC, Inc.
c/o Mr. William Grieco
Lead Independent Director
200 Lake Street, Suite 102
Peabody, MA 01960
Dear Members of the Board of Directors:
We understand that PHC, Inc. (PHC or the
Company), Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.
(Acadia) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia
(Merger Sub) are considering entering into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement)
pursuant to which among other things PHC will merge with and
into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving
company (the Transaction) and that, in connection
with the Transaction, each issued and outstanding share of PHC
Class A common stock shall be converted into
1/4
share of Acadia common stock (the Class A
Consideration) and each issued and outstanding share of
PHC Class B common stock shall be converted into
1/4
share of Acadia common stock and its pro rata share of
$5 million in cash (the Class B
Consideration, and together with the Class A
Consideration, in the aggregate, the Merger
Consideration) such that following the consummation of the
Transaction, the aggregate shareholders of PHC (including
in-the-money
option and warrant holders calculated on a treasury method
basis) in the aggregate will own 22.5% of the fully-diluted
common shares of Acadia. We further understand that Acadia
currently is a wholly owned subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare
Holdings, LLC (Holdings) and that in connection with
the Transaction, Acadia will become the corporate successor to
Holdings. All information provided to us or reviewed by us with
respect to Acadia and Holdings has been at the Holdings level
and we have been informed, and assumed, that there is no
difference between the management, operating results, financial
position and other aspects of Acadia and Holdings in any respect
material to our analyses.
The Board of Directors (the Board) of PHC has
requested that Stout Risius Ross, Inc. (SRR) render
an opinion (the Opinion) to the Board with respect
to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date
hereof, (i) to the holders of shares of PHC Class A
common stock, of the Class A Consideration to be received
by them (in the aggregate), and (ii) to the holders of
shares of PHC common stock, of the Merger Consideration to be
received them (in the aggregate), in each case pursuant to the
Transaction.
We have not been requested to opine as to, and our Opinion does
not in any manner address: (i) the Companys
underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the
Transaction, (ii) the amount of the Class B
Consideration, any distribution paid to Acadia shareholders, the
allocation of the Merger Consideration among the PHC
shareholders or the amount per share of the Merger
Consideration, the amount of the Class A Consideration
relative to the Class B Consideration or the Merger
Consideration, or any other term or condition of any agreement
or document related to, or the form or any other portion or
aspect of, the Transaction, except as stated in the final
paragraph of this letter, or (iii) the solvency,
creditworthiness or fair value of the Company, Acadia or any
other participant in the Transaction under any applicable laws
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Further,
we were not requested to consider, and our Opinion does not
address, the merits of the Transaction relative to any
alternative business strategies that may have existed for the
Company or the effect of any other transactions in which the
Company might have engaged, nor do we offer any opinion as to
the terms of the Transaction. Moreover, we were not engaged to
recommend, and we did not recommend, a Transaction price or
exchange ratio, or participate in, and we did not participate
in, the Transaction negotiations. Furthermore, no opinion,
counsel or interpretation is intended in matters that require
legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, tax or other similar
professional advice. This Opinion does not constitute, and we
have not made, a recommendation to the Board or any
C-1
security holder of PHC or any other person as to how to act or
vote with respect to the Transaction or otherwise. We have also
assumed, with your consent, that the final executed form of the
Merger Agreement will not differ from the draft of the Merger
Agreement that we have examined, that the conditions to the
Transaction as set forth in the Merger Agreement will be
satisfied, and that the Transaction will be consummated on a
timely basis in the manner contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
without any limitations, restrictions, or conditions, regulatory
or otherwise.
Our Opinion is intended to be utilized by the Board as only one
input to consider in its process of analyzing the Transaction.
In connection with our Opinion, we have made such reviews,
analyses, and inquiries as we have deemed necessary and
appropriate under the circumstances. The sources of information
used in performing our analysis included, but were not limited
to:

|
|
|
|
Combined (both PHC and Holdings) five-year financial forecast
for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2011 through 2015
and subsequent growth rates prepared by PHC and Holdings
management;
|
|
|
|
A review of publicly available financial data of certain
publicly traded companies that we deemed relevant;
|
|
|
|
A review of publicly available information regarding certain
publicly available merger and acquisition transactions that we
deemed relevant;
|
|
|
|
A review of other financial and other information for PHC and
Holdings that was publicly available or provided to us by
management of PHC or Holdings;
|
|
|
|
Discussions with PHC and Holdings management concerning their
business, industry, history, and prospects;
|
|
|
|
Discussions with PHCs financial advisors,
Jefferies & Company, Inc.; and
|
An analysis of other facts and data resulting in our conclusions.
We have assumed that the assets, liabilities, financial
condition, and prospects of PHC and Acadia as of the date of
this letter have not changed materially since the date of the
most recent financial information made available to us. We also
have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of
all financial and other information that was publicly available,
furnished by PHC or Acadia, or otherwise reviewed by or
discussed with us, and of the representations and warranties of
PHC and Acadia contained in the draft Merger Agreement, in each
case without independent verification of such information. We
have assumed, without independent verification, that the
financial forecasts and projections, as well as the synergy
estimates, provided to us have been reasonably prepared and
reflect the
C-2
best currently available estimates of the future financial
results of the Company, Acadia and the combined company, and
represent reasonable estimates, and we have relied upon such
forecasts, projections and estimates in arriving at our Opinion.
We have not been engaged to assess the reasonableness or
achievability of such forecasts, projections and estimates or
the assumptions upon which they were based, and we express no
view as to the forecasts, projections, estimates, or
assumptions. We have assumed that the Transaction will be
consummated on the terms described in the Merger Agreement,
without any waiver of any material terms or conditions by PHC or
Acadia.
We have not conducted any physical inspection, evaluation or
appraisal of PHCs or Holdings facilities, assets or
liabilities. Our Opinion is necessarily based on business,
economic, market, and other conditions as they exist and can be
evaluated by us at the date of this letter. It should be noted
that although subsequent developments may affect this Opinion,
we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm our
Opinion. We reserve the right, however, to withdraw, revise, or
modify our Opinion based upon additional information that may be
provided to or obtained by us after the issuance of the Opinion
that suggests, in our judgment, a material change in the
assumptions upon which our Opinion is based.
SRR conducted its analyses at the request of the Board to
provide a particular perspective of the Transaction. In so
doing, SRR did not form a conclusion as to whether any
individual analysis, when considered independently of the other
analyses conducted by SRR, supported or failed to support our
Opinion. SRR does not specifically rely or place any specific
weight on any individual analysis. Rather, SRR deems that the
analyses, taken as a whole, support our Opinion. Accordingly,
SRR believes that the analyses must be considered in their
entirety, and that selecting portions of the analyses or the
factors we considered, without considering all analyses and
factors together, could create an imperfect view of the
processes underlying the analyses performed by SRR in connection
with the preparation of the Opinion.
Our Opinion is furnished for the use and benefit of the Board in
connection with its evaluation of the Transaction, and is not
intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon
any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be
used, for any other purpose, without our express, prior written
consent. We have acted as a financial advisor to the Board and
will receive a fee for our services, however our compensation
for providing services to the Board is neither based upon nor
contingent on the results of our engagement or the consummation
of the proposed Transaction. In addition, PHC has agreed to
indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our
engagement. We have not previously provided financial advisory
services to PHC, Holdings or Acadia. We have not been requested
to opine to, and this Opinion does not address, the fairness of
the amount or nature of the compensation to any of PHCs
officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons,
relative to the compensation to PHCs public shareholders.
The issuance of this Opinion has been approved by a committee of
SRR authorized to approve opinions of this nature.
This Opinion was prepared at the request of the Board for its
confidential use and may not be reproduced, disseminated,
quoted, or referred to at any time in any manner or for any
purpose without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may reproduce this letter in its entirety
in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
required to be made by the Company in respect of the Transaction
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, provided that any description of or
reference to us or summary of this Opinion or our analyses
therein is in a form acceptable to us.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that,
as of the date hereof, that (i) the Merger Consideration to
be received by the holders of outstanding shares of PHCs
common stock (in the aggregate) is fair, from a financial point
of view, to such holders, and (ii) the Class A
Consideration to be received by the holders of the outstanding
shares of PHCs Class A common stock (in the
aggregate) is fair, from a financial point of view, to such
holders.
Yours very truly,

one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders
of such affected series are entitled, either separately or

vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation
(including any certificate of designations relating to any
series of Preferred Stock).
ARTICLE FIVE
The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
ARTICLE SIX
Section 1. Board
of Directors. The business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the
Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority
expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate
of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the directors
are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such
acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.
Section 2. Number
of Directors. Subject to any rights of the
holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect
additional directors under specified circumstances, the number
of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall
be fixed exclusively from time to time by resolution adopted by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in
office.
Section 3. Classes
of Directors. Beginning immediately following
the effective time of the merger of PHC, Inc. with and into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the
Effective Time), the directors of the
Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders
of any series of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances,
shall be divided into three classes, hereby designated
Class I, Class II and Class III (each a
Class).
Section 4. Term
of Office. Subject to the terms of any series
of Preferred Stock, the directors shall be elected by a
plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in the
election of directors; provided that, whenever the
holders of one or more classes or series of capital stock of the
Corporation are entitled to elect, separated as a class, one or
more directors pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of
Incorporation (including, but not limited to, any duly
authorized certificate of designation), such directors shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes of such classes or series
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and
entitled to vote in the election of such directors. The term of
office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the
first succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after the
Effective Time, the term of office of the initial Class II
directors shall expire at the second succeeding annual meeting
of stockholders after the Effective Time and the term of office
of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the
third succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders after the
Effective Time. For the purposes hereof, the Board of Directors
may assign directors already in office to the initial
Class I, Class II and Class III at the Effective
Time. At each annual meeting of stockholders after the Effective
Time, directors elected to replace those of a Class whose terms
expire at such annual meeting shall be elected for a term
expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting after their
election and shall remain in office until their respective
successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. After the
Effective Time, each director shall hold office until the annual
meeting of stockholders for the year in which such
directors term expires and a successor is duly elected and
qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or
removal. Nothing in this Certificate of Incorporation shall
preclude a director from serving consecutive terms. Elections of
directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the
Corporation shall so provide.
Section 5. Newly-Created
Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to the
rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then
outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any
increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies
in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation,
disqualification, removal from office or any other cause may be
filled only by a majority of the directors then in office,
although less than a quorum or by the sole remaining director.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, until
D-3
such date as Waud Capital Partners, L.L.C. and its affiliates
(collectively, the WCP Investors) no longer
beneficially own at least 17.5% of the outstanding Common Stock
of the Corporation, upon any vacancy in the Board of Directors
for any reason of a director designated by a person or persons
in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to be
entered into by and between the Corporation and the Stockholders
party thereto on or about the Effective Time (as amended or
restated from time to time, the Stockholders
Agreement), the resulting vacancy on the Board of
Directors shall be filled by a representative designated by the
person(s) entitled to designate such director pursuant to the
Stockholders Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, a director
chosen to fill a vacancy or a position resulting from an
increase in the number of directors shall hold office until his
or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her
earlier death, resignation or removal. After the Effective Time,
a director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the
unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office and until his
or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her
earlier death, resignation or removal. After the Effective Time,
a director chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase
in the number of directors shall hold office until the next
election of the class for which such director shall have been
chosen and until his or her successor is elected and qualified,
or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No
decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.
Section 6. Removal
of Directors. Subject to the rights of the
holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) until such date as
the WCP Investors no longer beneficially own at least 17.5% of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation (such date, the
Trigger Date), a director may be removed at
any time, either for or without cause, only upon either
(a) the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent
(80%) of the voting power of the capital stock of the
Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote thereon or
(b) if such director is being removed at the request of the
person(s) entitled to designate such director in accordance with
the Stockholders Agreement, by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock
outstanding and entitled to vote thereon; and (ii) from and
after the Trigger Date, a director may be removed from office
only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock
of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
Section 7. Bylaws. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon
it by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors
shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the
Corporations Bylaws. In addition to any other vote
required by law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the
directors then in office shall be required to adopt, amend,
alter or repeal the Corporations Bylaws. The
Corporations Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered
or repealed by the stockholders; provided,
however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of
any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law
or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of
the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a
single class shall be required for the stockholders to adopt,
amend, alter or repeal any provisions of the Bylaws of the
Corporation.
Section 8. Advance
Notice. Advance notice of stockholder
nominations for the election of directors and of business to be
brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the
Bylaws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE SEVEN
To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or
may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
Corporation to provide broader rights than permitted prior
thereto), no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising
from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or
modification of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely
affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation
existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect
to any act, omission or other matter occurring prior to the time
of such repeal or modification.
D-4
ARTICLE EIGHT
Prior to the Effective Time, the stockholders of the Corporation
may take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or
consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and
bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed
the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted. On and after the Effective Time and subject
to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock,
(i) (A) until such time as WCP Investors no longer
beneficially own at least a majority of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Corporation, the stockholders of the Corporation
may take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or
consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and
bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed
the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted and (B) after such time, the stockholders
may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting,
and must take any actions at a duly called annual or special
meeting of stockholders and the power of stockholders to consent
in writing without a meeting is specifically denied; and
(ii) special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation
may be called only by a resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors, by at least the affirmative vote of the majority of
the directors then in office.
ARTICLE NINE
Section 1. Certain
Acknowledgments. In recognition of the fact
that the Corporation, on the one hand, and the WCP Group (as
defined below), on the other hand, may currently engage in, and
may in the future engage in, the same or similar activities or
lines of business and have an interest in the same areas and
types of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the
benefits to be derived by the Corporation, through its continued
corporate and business relations with the WCP Group (including
possible service of directors, officers and employees of the WCP
Group as directors, officers and employees of the Corporation),

Section 2. Renouncement
of Certain Corporate Opportunities. To the
fullest extent permitted by law: (i) the Corporation and
its Affiliated Companies shall have no interest or expectancy in
any corporate opportunity and no expectation that such corporate
opportunity be offered to the Corporation or its Affiliated
Companies, if such opportunity is one that any member of the WCP

opportunity is hereby renounced, so that as a result of such
renunciation, the corporate opportunity shall belong to the WCP
Group; (ii) each member of the WCP Group shall have the
right to, and shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) not

with any client or customer of the Corporation or its Affiliated

of the WCP Group shall be liable to the Corporation, its
stockholders or its Affiliated Companies for breach of any duty
(contractual or otherwise), including without limitation
fiduciary duties, by reason of any such activities or of such
Persons participation therein; and (iv) in the event
that any member of the WCP Group acquires knowledge of a
potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate
opportunity for the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies, on
the one hand, and any member of the WCP Group, on the other
hand, or any other Person, no member of the WCP Group shall have

Healthcare Company, Inc. (the Corporation)
may have an office or offices other than its registered office

Board of Directors) may from time to time
determine or the business of the Corporation may require.
ARTICLE II
MEETINGS
OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. Place
of Meetings. The Board of Directors
may designate a place, if any, either within or outside the
State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual
meeting or for any special meeting.
Section 2. Annual
Meeting. An annual meeting of the
stockholders shall be held each year at such time as is
specified by the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting,
stockholders shall elect directors to succeed those whose terms
expire and transact such other business as properly may be
brought before the annual meeting pursuant to Section 11 of
ARTICLE II.
Section 3. Special
Meetings. Special meetings of the
stockholders may only be called in the manner provided in the
Corporations certificate of incorporation as then in
effect (the Certificate of
Incorporation). Business transacted at any special
meeting of stockholders shall be limited to business brought by
or at the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled
special meeting.
Section 4. Notice
of Meetings. Notice of the place, if any,
date, and time of all meetings of the stockholders, the means of
remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and
proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at
such meeting, and the record date for determining the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is
different from the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given, not less than
10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the
meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at
such meeting as of the record date for determining the
stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, except as
otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and
hereinafter, as required from time to time by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
DGCL) or the Certificate of Incorporation).
(a) Form of Notice. All such
notices shall be delivered in writing or by a form of electronic
transmission if receipt thereof has been consented to by the
stockholder to whom the notice is given. If mailed, such notice
shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his, her or its
address as the same appears on the records of the Corporation.
If given by facsimile telecommunication, such notice shall be
deemed given when directed to a number at which the stockholder
has consented to receive notice by facsimile. Subject to the
limitations of Section 4(c) of this ARTICLE II, if
given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to
be delivered: (i) by electronic mail, when directed to an
electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented
to receive notice; (ii) if by a posting on an electronic
network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such
specific posting, upon the later of (x) such posting and
(y) the giving of such separate notice; and (iii) if
by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to
the stockholder. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant
secretary of the Corporation, the transfer agent of the
Corporation or any
E-1
other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given
shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence
of the facts stated therein.
(b) Waiver of
Notice. Whenever notice is required to be
given under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these
Bylaws), a written waiver thereof, signed by
the stockholder entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic
transmission by the person or entity entitled to notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at,
nor the purpose of, any meeting of the stockholders of the
Corporation need be specified in any waiver of notice of such
meeting. Attendance of a stockholder of the Corporation at a
meeting of such stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the
express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to
the transaction of any business because the meeting is not
lawfully called or convened.
(c) Notice by Electronic
Delivery. Without limiting the manner by
which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders
of the Corporation pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders of the
Corporation given by the Corporation under any provision of the
DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be
effective if given by a form of electronic transmission
consented to by the stockholder of the Corporation to whom the
notice is given. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:
(i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic
transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the
Corporation in accordance with such consent; and (ii) such
inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant
secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent or other
person responsible for the giving of notice. However, the
inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation
shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. For purposes
of these Bylaws, except as otherwise limited by applicable law,
the term electronic transmission means any form of
communication not directly involving the physical transmission
of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved
and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly
reproduced in paper form by such recipient through an automated
process.
Section 5. List
of Stockholders. The officer who has charge
of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make
available, at least 10 days before each meeting of
stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to
vote at the meeting; provided, however, that if the record date
for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than
10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the
stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the
meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the
address of each such stockholder and the number of shares
registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be
open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a
period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting:
(a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided
that the information required to gain access to such list is
provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during
ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of
the Corporation. In the event the Corporation determines to make
the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may
take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is
available only to stockholders of the Corporation. The list
shall also be produced and kept at the time and place, if any,
of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be
inspected by any stockholder who is present.
Section 6. Quorum. The
holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power of all
shares of capital stock entitled to vote, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings
of the stockholders for all purposes, unless or except to the
extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by
the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the rules of any
stock exchange upon which the Corporations securities are
listed. If a quorum is not present, the chairman of the meeting
or the holders of a majority of the voting power present in
person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to
vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time
and/or
place. When a specified item of business requires a separate
vote by a class or series (if the Corporation shall then have
outstanding shares of more than one class or series) voting as a
class or series, the holders of a majority of the voting power
of such class or series shall constitute a quorum (as to such
class or series) for the transaction of such item of business.
Section 7. Adjourned
Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to
another time and place, notice need not be given of the
adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the
means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders
and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote
at such adjourned
E-2
meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more
than 30 days, a notice of the place, if any, date and time
of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications,
if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to
be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the
meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for
stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned
meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for
notice of such adjourned meeting, which record date shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record
date is adopted by the Board of Directors and, except as
otherwise required by law, shall not be more than 60 days
nor less than 10 days before the date of such adjourned
meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting
as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned
meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact
any business which might have been transacted at the original
meeting.
Section 8. Vote
Required. When a quorum is present, the
affirmative vote of the majority of voting power of capital
stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of
the stockholders, unless by express provisions of an applicable
law, the rules of any stock exchange upon which the
Corporations securities are listed, or the Certificate of
Incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such
express provision shall govern and control the decision of such
question.
Section 9. Voting
Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the
DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, the certificate of
designation relating to any outstanding class or series of
preferred stock or these Bylaws, every stockholder shall at
every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in
person or by proxy for each share of capital stock held by such
stockholder.
Section 10. Proxies. Each
stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may
authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by
proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after
three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a
longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it
states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is
coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an
irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of
whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in
the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally.
Section 11. Business
Brought Before a Meeting of the Stockholders.
(a) Annual Meetings.
(i) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such
nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
shall be considered and such business shall be conducted as
shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be
properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations and other
business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under
Delaware law and must be (A) specified in the notice of
meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors, (B) brought before the meeting
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors,
(C) brought by a party to the Stockholders Agreement to be

Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the
Stockholders Agreement with respect to such stockholders
rights provided therein or (D) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by a stockholder who (I) is a
stockholder of record of the Corporation (and, with respect to
any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such
business is proposed or such nomination or nominations are made,
only if such beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of shares
of the Corporation) both at the time the notice provided for in
paragraph (a) of this Section 11 of this
ARTICLE II is delivered to the secretary of the Corporation
and on the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to vote at the annual meeting of stockholders,

paragraph (a) of this Section 11 of this
ARTICLE II. For nominations or other business to be
properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the
stockholder must either have the right to nominate a director
under the Stockholders Agreement or have given timely notice
thereof in writing and in proper form to the secretary of the
Corporation. To be timely, a stockholders notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation, not later than the close of business
on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of

E-3

so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one
hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and
not later than the close of business on the later of the
ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth

event shall any adjournment, deferral or postponement of an
annual meeting or the Public Announcement thereof commence a new
time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a
stockholders notice as described above. Notwithstanding
anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in the event that
the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors
at an annual meeting is increased and there is no Public

record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution
fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and

to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any
adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of

stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in
such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders
entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an
earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
this Section 12 of this ARTICLE II at the adjourned
meeting.

report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as
alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.

Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge
of such inspectors duties, shall take and sign an oath

CERTIFICATES
OF STOCK
Section 1. Form. The
shares of stock of the Corporation shall be represented by
certificates provided that the Board of Directors may provide by
resolution that some or all of any or all classes or series of
its stock shall be uncertificated shares. If shares are
represented by certificates, the certificates shall be in such
form as required by applicable law and as determined by the
Board of Directors. Each certificate shall certify the number of
shares owned by such holder in the Corporation and shall be
signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of
the Board, or the President or any Vice President and the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Corporation designated by the Board
of Directors. Any or all signatures on the certificate may be a
facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who
has signed, whose facsimile signature has been used on or who
has duly affixed a facsimile signature or signatures to any such
certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer,
transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation whether because
of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or
certificates have been issued by the Corporation, such
certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued as though
the person or persons who signed such certificate or
certificates, whose facsimile signature or signatures have been
used thereon or who duly affixed a facsimile signature or
signatures thereon had not ceased to be such officer, transfer
agent or registrar of the Corporation. All certificates for
shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified.
The Board of Directors may appoint a bank or trust company
organized under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar or both in
connection with the transfer of any class or series of
securities of the Corporation. The Corporation, or its
designated transfer agent or other agent, shall keep a book or
set of books to be known as the stock transfer books of the
Corporation, containing the name of each holder of record,
together with such holders address and the number
E-12
and class or series of shares held by such holder and the date
of issue. When shares are represented by certificates, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to each holder to whom such
shares have been issued or transferred, certificates
representing the shares owned by such holder, and shares of
stock of the Corporation shall only be transferred on the books
of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such
holders attorney duly authorized in writing, upon
surrender to the Corporation or its designated transfer agent or
other agent of the certificate or certificates for such shares
endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such
evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer,
authorization and other matters as the Corporation may
reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock
transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the
Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates and record
the transaction on its books. When shares are not represented by
certificates, shares of stock of the Corporation shall only be
transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder of
record thereof or by such holders attorney duly authorized
in writing, with such evidence of the authenticity of such
transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may
reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock
transfer stamps, and within a reasonable time after the issuance
or transfer of such shares, the Corporation shall send the
holder to whom such shares have been issued or transferred a
written statement of the information required by applicable law.
Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of
Incorporation, these Bylaws or any other instrument the rights
and obligations of shareholders are identical, whether or not
their shares are represented by certificates.
Section 2. Lost
Certificates. The Corporation may issue or
direct a new certificate or certificates or uncertificated
shares to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates
previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that
fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost,
stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new
certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares, the
Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent
to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen
or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal
representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it
may direct, sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any
claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the
alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or
the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
Section 3. Registered
Stockholders. The Corporation shall be
entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered
on its records as the owner of shares of stock to receive
dividends, to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to
exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The Corporation
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to
or interest in such share or shares of stock on the part of any
other person, whether or not it shall have express or other
notice thereof, except as otherwise required by the laws of
Delaware.
Section 4. Fixing
a Record Date for Purposes Other Than Stockholder
Meetings. In order that the Corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any
dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the
stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of
any other lawful action (other than stockholder meetings which
is expressly governed by Section 12 of ARTICLE II
hereof), the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which
record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution
fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall
be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record
date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for
any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on
which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating
thereto.
Section 5. Regulations. The
issue, transfer, conversion and registration of certificates of
stock shall be governed by such other regulations as the Board

may reasonably be expected to benefit the Corporation. The loan,
guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest,
and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of
Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge

stockholders of any other corporation in which this Corporation
may hold securities and otherwise to exercise any and all rights
and powers which this Corporation may possess by reason of its

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. Right
to Indemnification and Advancement. Each
person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to or is otherwise involved (including involvement,
without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a
proceeding), by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while
a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of the
Corporation or as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee,
administrator, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or
other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
benefit plan (an indemnitee), whether
the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while
serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by
the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but,
in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such
amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against
all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees
and related disbursements, judgments, fines, excise taxes or
penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended from time to time (ERISA),
penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection
therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an
indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, partner,
member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors
and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided
in this Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII with respect to
proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the
Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection
with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee
only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Section 1 of this
ARTICLE VII shall be a contract right. In addition to the
right to indemnification conferred herein, an indemnitee shall
also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses
incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its
final disposition (an advance of expenses);
provided, however, that if and to the extent that the DGCL
requires, an advance of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in
his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee,
including without limitation, service to an employee benefit
plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
undertaking (an undertaking), by or on behalf
of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which
there is no further right to appeal (a final
adjudication) that such indemnitee is not entitled to
be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 1 of
this ARTICLE VII or otherwise. The Corporation may also, by
action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification and
advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the
Corporation.
Section 2. Procedure
for Indemnification. Any indemnification of a
director or officer of the Corporation or advance of expenses
(including attorneys fees, costs and charges) under this
Section 2 of this ARTICLE VII shall be made promptly,
and in any event within forty-five days (or, in the case of an
advance of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or
officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated by
Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII if required), upon the
written request of the director or officer. If a determination
by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII is required,
and the Corporation fails to respond within sixty days to a
written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed
to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a
written request for indemnification or advance of expenses, in
whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request
is not made within forty-five days (or, in the case of an
advance of
E-15
expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has
delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 1 of this
ARTICLE VII if required), the right to indemnification or
advances as granted by this ARTICLE VII shall be
enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Such persons costs and expenses incurred in
connection with successfully establishing his or her right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall
also be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law. It shall be a defense to any such
action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the
advance of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to
Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII, if any, has been
tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the
standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL
for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount
claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the
Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to
have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the
circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by
the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the
applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by the
indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an
advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation
to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of
an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses,
under this ARTICLE VII or otherwise shall be on the
Corporation. The procedure for indemnification of other
employees and agents for whom indemnification and advancement of
expenses is provided pursuant to Section 1 of this
ARTICLE VII shall be the same procedure set forth in this
Section 2 of this ARTICLE VII for directors or
officers, unless otherwise set forth in the action of the Board
of Directors providing indemnification and advancement of
expenses for such employee or agent.
Section 3. Insurance. The
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own
behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed
to become a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee,
administrator, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or
other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss asserted
against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such
capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether
or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such
person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL.
Section 4. Service
for Subsidiaries. Any person serving as a
director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other
enterprise, at least 50% of whose equity interests are owned by
the Corporation (a subsidiary for this
ARTICLE VII) shall be conclusively presumed to be
serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation.
Section 5. Reliance. Persons
who after the date of the adoption of this provision become or
remain directors or officers of the Corporation or who, while a
director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a
director, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be
conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity,
advance of expenses and other rights contained in this
ARTICLE VII in entering into or continuing such service.
The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses
conferred in this ARTICLE VII shall apply to claims made
against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which
occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption
hereof. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this
ARTICLE VII that adversely affects any right of an
indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall
not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to
any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of
any action or omission to act that took place prior to such
amendment or repeal.
Section 6. Non-Exclusivity
of Rights; Continuation of Rights to
Indemnification. The rights to
indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this
ARTICLE VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which
any person may have or hereafter acquire under the Certificate
of Incorporation or under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. All rights
to indemnification under this ARTICLE VII shall be deemed
to be a contract between the Corporation and each director or
officer of the Corporation who serves or served in such capacity
at any time while this ARTICLE VII is in effect. Any repeal
or modification of this ARTICLE VII or any repeal or
modification of relevant provisions of the Delaware General
E-16
Corporation Law or any other applicable laws shall not in any
way diminish any rights to indemnification and advancement of
expenses of such director or officer or the obligations of the
Corporation arising hereunder with respect to any proceeding
arising out of, or relating to, any actions, transactions or
facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such repeal or
modification.
Section 7. Merger
or Consolidation. For purposes of this
ARTICLE VII, references to the Corporation
shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its
separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or
agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall
stand in the same position under this ARTICLE VII with
respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she
would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.
Section 8. Savings
Clause. If this ARTICLE VII or any
portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court
of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify and advance expenses to each person
entitled to indemnification under Section 1 of this
ARTICLE VII as to all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys fees and related disbursements,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person and for which
indemnification and advancement of expenses is available to such
person pursuant to this ARTICLE VII to the fullest extent
permitted by any applicable portion of this ARTICLE VII
that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.
ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENTS
These Bylaws may be amended, altered, changed or repealed or new
Bylaws adopted only in accordance with the Certificate of
Incorporation.

Item 20.
|
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
|
Delaware
Corporations
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(DGCL), as amended, allows a corporation to
eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the
director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good
faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a
law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
repurchase in violation of Delaware law or obtained an improper
personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or
in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the
person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the
corporation or is or was serving at the corporations
request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys fees,
judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies
(a) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (b) if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best
interest, of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only
to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys
fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or
settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation
that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the
event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the
performance of duties to the corporation, unless the court
believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification
should apply.
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that
a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful
payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who
was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or
dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her
dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing
the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the
time such action occurred or immediately after such absent
director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
The certificate of incorporation of Acadia provides that,
pursuant to Delaware law, the directors of Acadia shall not be
liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors
fiduciary duty of care to Acadia and its stockholders. This
provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate
the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable
remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for
breach of the directors duty of loyalty to Acadia or its
stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director
and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or
redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision
also does not affect a directors responsibilities under
any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or
federal environmental laws.
The bylaws of Acadia provide that Acadia must indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law and require Acadia to advance litigation expenses
upon receipt of an undertaking by a director or officer to repay
such advances if it is ultimately determined that such director
or officer is not entitled to indemnification. The
indemnification provisions contained in the bylaws of Acadia are
not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be
entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.
II-1
In addition, Acadia has entered into employment agreements with
certain of our directors and officers, which provide
indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for
in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws. These employment
agreements, among other things, indemnify some of our directors
and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys
fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such
person in any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in such
directors or officers capacity.

Indicates to be filed by amendment. |
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of
Registration Fee table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as
follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities
registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part
of this registration statement, by any person or party who is
deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of
Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering
prospectus will contain the information called for by the
applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
II-4
(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that every
prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph
(b)(1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities
subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an
amendment to the registration statement and will not be used
until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond
to requests for information that is incorporated by reference
into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of
this form, within one business day of receipt of such request,
and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained
in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the
registration statement through the date of responding to the
request.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply
by means of a post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired
involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in
the registration statement when it became effective.

ARTICLE TWO
The address of the Corporations registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange
Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, 19801. The name of its registered agent
at such address is The Corporation Trust Company. Subject to the applicable filing requirements of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL), the registered office
and/or registered agent of the Corporation may be changed from time to time by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Board of Directors).
ARTICLE THREE
The nature of the business of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for

The Preferred Stock and the Common Stock shall have the rights, preferences and limitations
set forth below.
3
PART B. PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to provide by
resolution or resolutions for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and
by filing a certificate pursuant to the DGCL, to establish the number of shares to be included in
each such series, and to fix the voting powers (if any), designations, powers, preferences, and
relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series, and
any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Within the limitations or restrictions
stated in any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may increase or decrease (but not
below the number of shares of any such series of Preferred Stock then outstanding) by resolution
the number of shares of any such series of Preferred Stock. The number of authorized shares of

one vote for each share held by such holder on all matters voted upon by the stockholders of the
Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by the terms of
any series of Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on
any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations
relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more
outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either
separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant
to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any
series of Preferred Stock).
ARTICLE FIVE
The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
ARTICLE SIX

the Corporation are entitled to elect, separated as a class, one or more directors pursuant to the
provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, but not limited to, any duly authorized
certificate of designation), such directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of such
classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in
the election of such directors. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire
at the first succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after the Effective Time, the term of office
of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders after the Effective Time and the term of office of the initial Class III directors
shall expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders after the Effective Time.
For the purposes hereof, the Board of Directors may assign directors already in office to the
initial Class I, Class II and Class III at the Effective Time. At each annual meeting of
stockholders after the Effective Time, directors elected to replace those of a Class whose terms
expire at such annual meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual
meeting after their election and shall remain in office until their respective successors shall
have been duly elected and qualified. After the Effective Time, each director shall hold office
until the annual meeting of stockholders for the year in which such directors term expires and a
successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
Nothing in this Certificate of Incorporation shall preclude a director from serving consecutive
terms. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation
shall so provide.
Section 5. Newly-Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the
holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting
from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors
resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal from office or any other cause may be
filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum or by the
sole remaining director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
until such date as Waud Capital Partners, L.L.C. and its affiliates (collectively, the WCP
Investors) no longer beneficially own at least 17.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Corporation, upon any vacancy in the Board of Directors for any reason of a director designated by
a person or persons in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to be entered into
by and between the Corporation and the Stockholders party thereto
5
on or about the Effective
Time (as amended or restated from time to time, the Stockholders Agreement), the
resulting vacancy on the Board of Directors shall be filled by a representative designated by the
person(s) entitled to designate such director pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement. Prior to the
Effective Time, a director chosen to fill a vacancy or a position resulting from an increase in the
number of directors shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until
his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. After the Effective Time, a director elected to
fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office and
until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation
or removal. After the Effective Time, a director chosen to fill a position resulting from an
increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next election of the class for
which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor is elected and qualified,
or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the authorized
number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
Section 6. Removal of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series
of Preferred Stock then outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) until such date as
the WCP Investors no longer beneficially own at least 17.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Corporation (such date, the Trigger Date), a director may be removed at any time, either
for or without cause, only upon either (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent
(80%) of the voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote
thereon or (b) if such director is being removed at the request of the person(s) entitled to
designate such director in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement, by the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote
thereon; and (ii) from and after the Trigger Date, a director may be removed from office only for
cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of
the capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
Section 7. Bylaws. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon
it by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt,
amend, alter or repeal the Corporations Bylaws. In addition to any other vote required by law,
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office shall be required to adopt,
amend, alter or repeal the Corporations Bylaws. The Corporations Bylaws also may be adopted,
amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in
addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by
law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class shall be required for the
stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provisions of the Bylaws of the Corporation.
Section 8. Advance Notice. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election
of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE SEVEN
To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended (but,
in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation
to provide broader rights than permitted prior thereto), no director of the Corporation shall be
liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing sentence shall not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of

the time of such repeal or modification.

stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding
stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take
such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. On
and after the Effective Time and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock, (i) (A) until such time as WCP Investors no longer beneficially own at least a majority of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation, the stockholders of the Corporation may take any
action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a
consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of

outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted and (B) after such time, the stockholders may not take any action by written
consent in lieu of a meeting, and must take any actions at a duly called annual or special meeting
of stockholders and the power of stockholders to consent in writing without a meeting is
specifically denied; and (ii) special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called
only by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, by at least the affirmative vote of the

Bylaws), a written waiver thereof, signed by the stockholder entitled to notice, or a
waiver by electronic transmission by the person or entity entitled to notice, whether before or
after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need be
specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a stockholder of the Corporation
at a meeting of such stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when
the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
(c) Notice by Electronic Delivery. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise
may be given effectively to stockholders of the Corporation pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate
of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders of the Corporation given by the
Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall
be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder of the
Corporation to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if: (i) the
Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by
the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and (ii) such inability becomes known to the
secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent or other person
responsible for the giving of notice. However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as
a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. For purposes of these Bylaws,
except as otherwise limited by applicable law, the term electronic transmission means any form of
communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that
may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced
in paper form by such recipient through an automated process.

Section 5. List of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of
the Corporation shall prepare and make available, at least 10 days before each meeting of
stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided,
however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10
days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the
10th day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each
such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list
shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during
ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a
reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to
such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the
principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation determines to make
the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure
that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. The list shall also be
produced and kept at the time and place, if any, of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and
may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
Section 6. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power of all
shares of capital stock entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for all purposes, unless or except to the
extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by the DGCL, the Certificate of
Incorporation or the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporations securities are
listed. If a quorum is not present, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of
the voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote at
the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place. When a specified item of
business requires a separate vote by a class or series (if the Corporation shall then have
outstanding shares of more than one class or series) voting as a class or series, the holders of a
majority of the voting power of such class or series shall constitute a quorum (as to such class or
series) for the transaction of such item of business.
Section 7. Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place,
notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the
means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be
present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice
of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote
communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in
person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to
vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote
is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice
of such adjourned meeting, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution
fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and, except as otherwise required by
law, shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such adjourned
meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to
vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned
- 3 -
meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 8. Vote Required. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the
majority of voting power of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless by express
provisions of an applicable law, the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporations
securities are listed, or the Certificate of Incorporation a different vote is required, in which
case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
Section 9. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the Certificate
of Incorporation, the certificate of designation relating to any outstanding class or series of
preferred stock or these Bylaws, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be
entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of capital stock held by such
stockholder.
Section 10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders
may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be
voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as
long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy
may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest
in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally.
Section 11. Business Brought Before a Meeting of the Stockholders.
(a) Annual Meetings.
(i) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations of persons for
election to the Board of Directors shall be considered and such business shall be conducted
as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an
annual meeting, nominations and other business must be a proper matter for stockholder
action under Delaware law and must be (A) specified in the notice of meeting (or any
supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (B) brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (C) brought by a party
to the Stockholders Agreement to be entered into by and between the Corporation and the
stockholders party thereto on or about the date of these Bylaws (as amended or restated from
time to time, the Stockholders Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the
Stockholders Agreement with respect to such stockholders rights provided therein or (D)
otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who (I) is a stockholder of
record of the Corporation (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose
behalf such business is proposed or such nomination or nominations are made, only if such
beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) both at the time the
notice provided for in paragraph (a) of this Section 11 of this ARTICLE II is delivered to
the secretary of the Corporation and on the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting of stockholders, (II) is entitled to
vote at the meeting, and (III) complies with the notice
- 4 -
procedures set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 11 of this ARTICLE II. For
nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a
stockholder, the stockholder must either have the right to nominate a director under the
Stockholders Agreement or have given timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to
the secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholders notice must be delivered to
or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not later than
the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on
the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years
annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is
more than thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after such anniversary
date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business
on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or
the tenth (10th) day following the day on which Public Announcement of the date of such
meeting is first made by the Corporation). In no event shall any adjournment, deferral or
postponement of an annual meeting or the Public Announcement thereof commence a new time
period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholders notice as described
above. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the
number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is
increased and there is no Public Announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the
additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of
the preceding years annual meeting, a stockholders notice required by paragraph (a) of
this Section 11 of this ARTICLE II shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to
nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the
tenth (10th) day following the day on which such Public Announcement is first made by the
Corporation.
(ii) Other than a nomination of a person pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement, a stockholders notice providing for the nomination of a person or persons for
election as a director or directors of the Corporation shall set forth (A) as to the
stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the

securities of the Corporation by, manage the risk of share price changes for, or increase or
decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or beneficial owner with respect to any class

(or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholders

solicit proxies for such annual meeting.
(iv) The presiding officer of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine
and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not properly made or any business was not

special meeting of stockholders as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law and
as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or
as contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement. The notice of such special meeting shall include
the purpose for which the meeting is called. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected
pursuant to the Corporations notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (ii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be
elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (A) is a stockholder of record
of the Corporation (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such

specified in the Corporations notice of meeting, if the stockholders notice required by paragraph
(a)(ii) of this Section 11 of this ARTICLE II shall be delivered to the Corporations secretary at
the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the
one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of

day following the day on which Public Announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting
and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event
shall any adjournment, deferral or postponement of a special meeting or the public announcement

notice as described above.
(c) General.
(i) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Stockholders Agreement or this Section 11 of this ARTICLE II shall be eligible to be
elected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall
have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 11 of this ARTICLE II. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11
of this ARTICLE II, other than nominations pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, if the
stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual
or special meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded
and such proposed business shall not be transacted,
- 9 -
notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.
(ii) For purposes of this section, Public Announcement shall mean disclosure
in a press release reported by Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable
national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11 of this ARTICLE II, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this
Section 11 of this ARTICLE II; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the
Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and
shall not limit the requirements applicable to any nomination or other business to be
considered pursuant to this Section 11 of this ARTICLE II.
(iv) Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to (A) affect any rights of stockholders
to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporations proxy statement pursuant to Rule
14a-8 under the Exchange Act, (B) confer upon any stockholder a right to have a nominee or
any proposed business included in the Corporations proxy statement, or (C) affect any
rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors pursuant to any
applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 12. Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings. In order that the Corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, except as otherwise required by law, in advance, a record
date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 days nor less
than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date
shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting
unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date
on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record
date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business
on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of
record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall
also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same
or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12 of this ARTICLE II at the adjourned meeting.

Section 13. Conduct of Meetings.
(a) Generally. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by a chairman designated
by the Board of Directors. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the
Secretarys absence or disability the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as
secretary of the meeting.
(b) Rules, Regulations and Procedures. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution
such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation as it shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, such guidelines and
procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication
of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Except to the extent
inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the
chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules,
regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are
appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether
adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include,
without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the
meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those

commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by
participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the
meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of
parliamentary procedure. The chairman of the meeting shall announce at the meeting when the polls
for each matter to be voted upon at the meeting will be opened and closed. After the polls close,
no ballots, proxies or votes or any revocations or changes thereto may be accepted. The chairman
shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date and time.
(c) Inspectors of Elections. The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law
shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act
at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as
alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is
able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more
inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by law, inspectors may be officers,
employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of such
inspectors duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with
strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspectors ability. The inspector shall have
the duties prescribed by law and shall take charge of the polls and, when the vote is completed,
shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required
by law.

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. If shares are represented by

determined by the Board of Directors. Each certificate shall certify the number of shares owned by such
- 17 -
holder in the Corporation and shall be signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman
of the Board, or the President or any Vice President and the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation designated by the Board of Directors.
Any or all signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent
or registrar who has signed, whose facsimile signature has been used on or who has duly affixed a
facsimile signature or signatures to any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such
officer, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation whether because of death, resignation or
otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been issued by the Corporation, such
certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued as though the person or persons who signed
such certificate or certificates, whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon or
who duly affixed a facsimile signature or signatures thereon had not ceased to be such officer,
transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively
numbered or otherwise identified. The Board of Directors may appoint a bank or trust company
organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or
registrar or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the

or set of books to be known as the stock transfer books of the Corporation, containing the name of

shares held by such holder and the date of issue. When shares are represented by certificates, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to each holder to whom such shares have been issued or
transferred, certificates representing the shares owned by such holder, and shares of stock of the
Corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder of record
thereof or by such holders attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation
or its designated transfer agent or other agent of the certificate or certificates for such shares
endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such
endorsement, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require,
and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the
Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate
or certificates and record the transaction on its books. When shares are not represented by
certificates, shares of stock of the Corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the
Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holders attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such evidence of the authenticity of such transfer, authorization and other matters
as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps,
and within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such shares, the Corporation shall
send the holder to whom such shares have been issued or transferred a written statement of the

or certificates or uncertificated shares to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates
previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the

stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates or
uncertificated shares, the Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the
issuance
- 18 -
thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates,
or his or her legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct,
sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation
on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of
such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
Section 3. Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize
the exclusive right of a person registered on its records as the owner of shares of stock to
receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and
powers of an owner. The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim
to or interest in such share or shares of stock on the part of any other person, whether or not it
shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise required by the laws of Delaware.
Section 4. Fixing a Record Date for Purposes Other Than Stockholder Meetings. In
order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any
dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise
any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any
other lawful action (other than stockholder meetings which is expressly governed by Section 12 of
ARTICLE II hereof), the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date
shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date
for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on
which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

certificates of stock shall be governed by such other regulations as the Board of Directors may

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. Right to Indemnification and Advancement. Each person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including involvement,
without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a proceeding), by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer
of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of
the Corporation or as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or
agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust
or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an
indemnitee), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer,
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the
DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights
than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees
and related disbursements, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (ERISA), penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in
connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has
ceased to be a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent and
shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators; provided,
however, that, except as provided in this Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII with respect to proceedings
to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such
- 21 -
indemnitee in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII shall be a contract right. In
addition to the right to indemnification conferred herein, an indemnitee shall also have the right
to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of
its final disposition (an advance of expenses); provided, however, that if and to the
extent that the DGCL requires, an advance of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her
capacity as a director or officer (and not in any capacity in which service was or is rendered by
such indemnitee, including without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made
only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an undertaking), by or on behalf
of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final
judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a final adjudication)
that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 1 of
this ARTICLE VII or otherwise. The Corporation may also, by action of its Board of Directors,
provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation.
Section 2. Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification of a director or
officer of the Corporation or advance of expenses (including attorneys fees, costs and charges)
under this Section 2 of this ARTICLE VII shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five
days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer
has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII if required), upon the
written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the
director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII is required, and
the Corporation fails to respond within sixty days to a written request for indemnity, the
Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a written
request for indemnification or advance of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full
pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advance of
expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking
contemplated by Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII if required), the right to indemnification or
advances as granted by this ARTICLE VII shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any
court of competent jurisdiction. Such persons costs and expenses incurred in connection with
successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such
action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for
the advance of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII,
if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of
conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for
the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is
proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
- 22 -
the claimant has
not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a
right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation
to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of
proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses,
under this ARTICLE VII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation. The procedure for indemnification
of other employees and agents for whom indemnification and advancement of expenses is provided
pursuant to Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII shall be the same procedure set forth in this Section 2
of this ARTICLE VII for directors or officers, unless otherwise set forth in the action of the
Board of Directors providing indemnification and advancement of expenses for such employee or
agent.

quorum and execution of written consents in lieu of meetings), and the Company shall take all
necessary or desirable actions within its control (including calling special board and stockholder
meetings, causing the designated individuals to be nominated for election to the Board, soliciting

voting control over at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, such
number of directors that, when compared to the authorized number of directors on the Board,
is closest to but not less than proportional (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall mean
that the number of representatives shall be rounded up to the next whole number in all
cases) to the total number of Stockholder Shares over which the WCP Investors retain voting
control relative to the total number of Stockholder Shares then issued and outstanding (it
being understand that no reduction in the number of Stockholder Shares over which the WCP
Investor retain voting control shall shorten the term of any incumbent director);
(iii) if any director elected by virtue of being designated pursuant to Section 1A(ii)

resulting vacancy on the Board shall be filled by a representative designated by the Person(s)
entitled to designate such director pursuant to Section 1A(ii); and

entitled to designate such director pursuant to Section 1A(ii), and not otherwise.

under the applicable listing standards then in effect, the Company will elect to be a controlled
company for purposes of such applicable listing standards, and will disclose in its annual meeting
proxy statement that it is a controlled company and the basis for that determination. The

Bylaws shall at all times provide for indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses to
the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

and shall be of no further force and effect from and after such time as the WCP Investors cease to
hold at least 17.5% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company. The provisions of
Section 1C shall terminate automatically and shall be of no further force and effect from
and after such time as no person who is a current or former officer, employee, manager, director,
member, partner or co-investor of any WCP Investor shall serve as a member of the Board.

contractual agreement to which such Management Investor is a party or is bound, each Management
Investor shall vote all of his, her or its Stockholder Shares and any other voting securities of
the Company over which such holder has voting control, and shall take all other necessary or
desirable actions within his, her or its control (whether in his, her or its capacity as a
stockholder, director, member of a board committee or officer of the Company or otherwise (unless,
in the case of any action in such Management Investors capacity as an officer, director or member
of a board committee, such action would be inconsistent with such Management Investors fiduciary
duties under applicable laws), and including attendance at meetings in person or by proxy for
purposes of obtaining a quorum and execution of written consents in lieu of meetings), so that all
such Stockholder Shares and other voting securities of the Company are voted as directed by the
Majority WCP Investors; provided that, in the case of any election or removal of directors,
such direction is consistent with the provisions of Section 1A.
2B. Irrevocable Proxy. In order to secure the obligation to vote his, her or its
Stockholder Shares and other voting securities of the Company in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1A and Section 2A, each Management Investor hereby appoints Waud Capital
Partners II, L.P. (WCP) as such Management Investors true and lawful proxy and
attorney-in-fact, with full power of
- 3 -
substitution, to vote all of such Management Investors Stockholder Shares and any other voting
securities of the Company over which such Management Investor has voting control for the election
and/or removal of directors and all such other matters as expressly provided for in Section
1A and Section 2A. WCP may exercise the irrevocable proxy granted to it hereunder at
any time a Management Investor fails to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The proxies
and powers granted by each Management Investor pursuant to this Section 2B are coupled with
an interest and are given to secure the performance of his, her or its obligations under this
Agreement. Such proxies and powers will be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and will
survive the death, incompetence or disability of such Management Investor.
2C. Representations and Warranties; Conflicting Agreements. Each Stockholder represents
that (i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Stockholder and
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, and (ii) such Stockholder has not granted and is not a party to any proxy, voting trust
or other agreement which is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement.
No Management Investor shall grant any proxy or become party to any voting trust or other agreement
which is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement.
2D. Termination. The provisions of Section 2A and Section 2B shall
terminate automatically and shall be of no further force and effect from and after such time as the
WCP Investors cease to hold at least 17.5% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.
Section 3. Transfers of Restricted Common Stock.
3A. Required Consent. No Management Investor shall Transfer any interest in any
Restricted Shares without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Majority WCP Investors,
which consent may be withheld in the Majority WCP Investors sole discretion (the Required
Consent), except that the Management Investors may Transfer Restricted Shares to their
respective Permitted Transferees, provided that such Management Investor retains voting control of
such Restricted Shares (such transfers, the Exempt Transfers). If any Person acquires
Restricted Shares in an Exempt Transfer by virtue of such Persons qualification as a Permitted
Transferee of a transferor, and such Person shall, at any time, cease to be a Permitted Transferee
of such transferor, then such Person shall be required to Transfer such Persons Restricted Shares
to a Person that does qualify at the time of such required transfer as a Permitted Transferee of
the original transferor.
3B. Additional Restrictions on Transfer.
(i) Execution of Counterpart. Each Transferee of Restricted Shares (including any
Permitted Transferee in connection with an Exempt Transfer) shall, as a condition precedent to such
Transfer, agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Management Investors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person who acquires in any manner whatsoever any Restricted
Shares, irrespective of whether such Person has agreed to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of the benefits of the acquisition thereof to have
agreed to be subject to and bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement that any
predecessor in such Restricted Shares of such Person was subject to or by which such predecessor
was bound.
(ii) Notice. In connection with any Transfer or potential Transfer of any Restricted
Shares, the holder of such Restricted Shares will deliver written notice to the Company and the WCP
Investors describing in reasonable detail the Transfer or proposed Transfer.
- 4 -
(iii) Legal Opinion. No Transfer of Restricted Shares may be made unless such Transfer
would not violate any federal securities laws applicable to the Company, the Transferor or the
Restricted Shares to be Transferred. Upon reasonable request of the Company or the Majority WCP
Investors, the proposing Transferor shall deliver to the Company and the WCP Investors prior to the
date of the Transfer an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company as to the
foregoing.
(iv) No Avoidance of Provisions. No holder of Restricted Shares shall directly or
indirectly (i) permit the Transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect equity or
beneficial interest in such holder or (ii) otherwise seek to avoid the provisions of this Agreement
by issuing, or permitting the issuance of, any direct or indirect equity or beneficial interest in
such holder, in any such case in a manner which would fail to comply with this Section 3 if
such holder had Transferred Restricted Shares directly.
3C. Legend. Each certificate evidencing Restricted Shares and each certificate issued in
exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Restricted Shares (if such shares remain Restricted Shares
as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN A
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF __________, 2011, BY AND
AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE COMPANY) AND
CERTAIN OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS (THE STOCKHOLDERS
AGREEMENT). A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY
THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND
WITHOUT CHARGE.
The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Restricted Shares outstanding
prior to the date hereof. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates
evidencing any shares which cease to be Restricted Shares.
3D. Transfer Fees and Expenses. The Transferor and Transferee of any Restricted Shares or
other interest in the Company shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Company and
the WCP Investors for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by
the Company or the WCP Investors, as applicable, in connection with any Transfer or proposed
Transfer, whether or not consummated.
3E. Void Transfers. Any Transfer of any Restricted Shares in contravention of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure of the Transferee to agree to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to Management Investors) shall be void and ineffectual and
shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other Person.
Section 4. Lock-Up Agreement. No Management Investor or other holder of
Restricted Shares shall (A) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of
(including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for such securities (including equity securities of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such holder in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), (B) enter into a transaction
which would have the same effect as described in clause (A) above, (C) enter into any swap,
hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or
- 5 -
ownership of any securities referred to in clause (A) above, whether such transaction
is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (A),
(B) and (C) above, a Sale Transaction), or (D) publicly disclose the
intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, in any such case from the date the Company gives
notice to the Management Investors that a preliminary or final prospectus has been circulated for a
Public Offering and during the 90 days following the date of the final prospectus for such Public
Offering (a Holdback Period), except as part of any such Public Offering, unless the
underwriters managing such Public Offering otherwise agree in writing. If requested by the managing
underwriters, each Management Investor and each other holder of Restricted Shares agrees to execute
customary lock-up agreements consistent with the foregoing obligations with the managing
underwriter(s) of an underwritten offering with a duration not to exceed the Holdback Period. If
(i) the Company issues an earnings release or discloses other material information or a material
event relating to the Company occurs during the last 17 days of the Holdback Period or (ii) prior
to the expiration of the Holdback Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings
results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of such period, then to the extent
necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering required hereunder to
comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), the Holdback Period will be extended until 18 days after the
earnings release or disclosure of other material information or the occurrence of the material
event, as the case may be (a Holdback Extension). The Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the shares of its common stock (or other securities) subject to the
foregoing restriction during any Holdback Period or any period of Holdback Extension.

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-4 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as special counsel to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the Company), in connection with
the registration by the Company of shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (the Common Stock)
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4,
which includes the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the Commission) on July 13, 2011, under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Act) (such Registration Statement and Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as amended
or supplemented, is hereinafter referred to as the Registration
Statement). The Common Stock is to be issued in connection with the merger
contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
May 23, 2011, by and among the Company, Acadia Merger Sub, LLC
and PHC, Inc. (PHC)
(the Merger
Agreement). Such shares of Common Stock, when issued in accordance with the Merger
Agreement are referred to herein as the Shares and the issuance of the Shares is referred to
herein as the Issuance.
In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed
necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including (i) the Merger Agreement attached as Exhibit
2.1 to the Registration Statement; (ii) the merger certificate prepared pursuant to the Merger
Agreement and to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the
Secretary) prior to the Issuance (the Merger Certificate); (iii) the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Charter) of the Company in the form filed
as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement to be filed with the Secretary prior to the Issuance;
(iv) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company in the form filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the
Registration Statement; (v) minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Company with
respect to the Issuance; and (vi) the Registration Statement.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the
authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the
legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all
documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing
on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company and the due authorization, execution and
delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company. We relied upon statements
and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others as to factual
matters.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the
further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that, when (i) the Merger Certificate is
filed with and accepted by the Secretary; (ii) the Registration Statement becomes effective under
the Act and provided that such effectiveness shall not have been terminated; (iii) the certificates
evidencing the Shares have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions
of the Merger Agreement and duly delivered to the stockholders of PHC in exchange for their shares
of common stock of PHC; and (iv) the appropriate certificates representing the Shares are duly
countersigned and registered by the Companys transfer agent/registrar, the Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
Our opinion expressed above is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to
the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of any laws except the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the
Delaware constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing).
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading Legal
Matters in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are
in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the Commission.
This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be
inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein.
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement.

Form S-4, which includes the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated as of
July 13, 2011 (the

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Pioneer will merge with and into Merger Sub (the
Merger), with Merger Sub as the surviving company (the Surviving Company). All

purposes of this opinion, including, but not limited to, certain representation letters received by
us from each of Parent and Merger Sub on the one hand, and Pioneer, on the other hand, dated the
date hereof and referring to this opinion letter (the Acadia Tax Certificate and
Pioneer Tax Certificate, respectively).
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed with your permission, without independent
investigation or inquiry, (i) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted
to us as originals, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures on all documents that we
examined, (iii) the conformity to authentic originals and completeness of documents
submitted to us as certified, conformed or reproduction copies, (iv) the legal capacity of
all natural persons executing documents, (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery

Registration Statement/Prospectus and the statements made in the certificates of public officials,
officers and representatives of Parent, Pioneer and others delivered to us, and have further

given and will continue to be accurate and complete in all respects as of the effective time of the

should be inaccurate.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the assumptions, conditions, qualifications and
limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, under current law: (i) the Merger
will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), (ii) Parent and Pioneer will each be a party
to that reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, and (iii) the discussions
in the Registration Statement/Prospectus under the heading Material United States Federal
Income Tax Consequences of the Merger, insofar as such discussions constitute legal conclusions, are correct in
all material respects.

assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with this opinion or that, if
the Internal Revenue Service were to take a contrary position, such position would not ultimately
be sustained by the courts.

other opinion is implied or inferred. Other than as expressly stated above, we express no opinion
2
regarding the tax treatment of the Merger under the laws of any state or local government within

8. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal

provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the
terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases
in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the
maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases,
whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.01 Revolving Loans and Term Loan.
(a) Revolving
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender
severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a Revolving Loan) to the Borrower
in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an
aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lenders
Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any
Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving
Loans of any Lender, plus such Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lenders Revolving Commitment. Within
the limits of each Lenders Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under
Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Loans may be Base
Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as further provided herein,
provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made as
Base Rate Loans.
(b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the Term Loan) to the
Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lenders Term Loan
Commitment. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan may
consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as further
provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date
shall be made as Base Rate Loans.
32
2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrowers irrevocable notice
to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days
prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of,
Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and
(ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by
the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections
2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is
requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal
amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be
borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the
duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a
Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting
a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to,
Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of
the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest
Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to
a Eurodollar Rate Loan.
(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no
timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to
Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each
Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agents Office not later than 3:00 p.m.
on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (or, if such Borrowing is the initial
Credit Extension, Sections 5.01 and 5.02), the Administrative Agent shall
make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of
Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each
case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent by
the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice
with respect to a Borrowing of Revolving Loans is given by the Borrower, there are L/C
Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to
the Borrower as provided above.
(c) During the existence of a Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all
of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the
33
Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to
the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than
ten (10) Interest Periods in effect.
2.03 Letters of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters
of Credit in Dollars for the account of the Parent or any Subsidiary, and to amend
or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection
(b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the
Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account
of the Parent or any Subsidiary and any drawings thereunder; provided that
after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of
Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans
of any Lender, plus such Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lenders Applicable Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lenders
Revolving Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall
not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the
issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers
ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the
Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace
Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such
requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the
date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolving Lenders
have approved such expiry date; or
(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
after the Maturity Date, unless all the Lenders that have Revolving
Commitments have approved such expiry date.
(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer
from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C
Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer
shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance
of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or
shall
34
impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise
compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the
L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the
Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more
policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the
L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than
$100,000;
(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other
than Dollars;
(E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C
Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash
Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with
the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuers
actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section
2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the
Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and
all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or
potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or
(F) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic
reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.
(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer
would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended
form under the terms hereof.
(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit
if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter
of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of
such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of
Credit.
(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C
Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to
such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term Administrative Agent as used
in Article X included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and
(B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension
Letters of Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be,
upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible
35
Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later
date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in
their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may
be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed
issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount
thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text
of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the
purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer
may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A)
the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a
Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C
Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of
Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent may require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if
not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the
L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any
Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment
of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in
Article V shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the
account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable
amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuers usual and
customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase
from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Lenders Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of
Credit.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has
automatic extension provisions (each, an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer
to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with
the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary
thereof not later than a day (the Non-Extension Notice Date) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless
otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific
request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit
has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to
have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such
Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Maturity Date;
provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension
if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended)
under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section
2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is
36
seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section
5.03 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension.
(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the
automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing
thereunder (each, an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit). Unless otherwise
directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request
to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit
has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed
to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of
the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C
Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a
drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of
days after such drawing (the Non-Reinstatement Deadline), the L/C Issuer shall
not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement
Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to
permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan
Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.03 is
not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of
this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter
of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C
Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the
L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an Honor Date), the Borrower shall
reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount
of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the Unreimbursed Amount), and the amount of such Lenders
Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount
equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the
unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth
in Section 5.03 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the
L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of
such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.
37
(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this
purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agents Office in an
amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00
p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the
Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.03
cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred
from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not
so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with
interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lenders payment
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section
2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter
of Credit, interest in respect of such Lenders Applicable Percentage of such amount shall
be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section
2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Parent, any Subsidiary or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C)
any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5.03 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making
of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C
Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C
Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing
or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If
such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lenders Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C
Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the
L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the
38
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of
Credit and has received from any Lender such Lenders L/C Advance in respect of
such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative
Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by
the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender
its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned
under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its
Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such
Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that the Parent or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or
any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating
thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such
Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver
or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law; or
39
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Parent or any
Subsidiary.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that
is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers instructions
or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents
unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly
required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or
accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any
such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective
Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be
liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the
request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii)
any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use
of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as
it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None
of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor
any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible
for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer
may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower
proves were caused by the L/C Issuers willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C
Issuers willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by
the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which
may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer
and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to
each Letter of Credit.
(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of
Credit fee (the Letter of Credit Fee) for each Letter of Credit equal to the
Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans times the daily
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of
Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any
Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the
upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv), with
40
the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall
be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit
and on the Maturity Date; and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change
in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter
of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during
such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders (or automatically upon the imposition of
the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.08), while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit
Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.
The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with
respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter,
computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the
most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first
payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit and on the Maturity Date. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be
drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined
in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to
the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and
other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to
letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs
and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the
terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k) Letters of Credit Issued for the Parent and its Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of
any obligations of, or is for the account of, the Parent or a Subsidiary, the Borrower
shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under
such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of
Credit for the account of the Parent and the Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the
Borrower, and that the Borrowers business derives substantial benefits from the businesses
of the Parent and the Subsidiaries.
2.04 Swing Line Loans.
(a) Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in
this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a
Swing Line Loan) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day
during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing
Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed
the amount of such Lenders Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that
after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not
exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lenders Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lenders Applicable Percentage
of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lenders Revolving
Commitment,
41
and provided further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing
Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to
the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04,
prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line
Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall
be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line
Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
Lenders Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made
upon the Borrowers irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line
Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing
date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal
amount of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.
Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing
Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm
with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will
notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.
Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the
Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the
date of the proposed Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not
to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso
to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the
borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line
Loan available to the Borrower.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on
behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender
to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount
equal to such Lenders Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans
then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request
shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with
the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (other than the delivery of a Loan
Notice). The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the
applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative
Agent. Each
Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount
specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available
with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line
Lender at the Administrative Agents Office not later than 3:00 p.m. on the day
specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii),
each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving
Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
42
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate
Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a
request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in
the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest
thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with
the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Revolving Loan included in the relevant
Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
demonstrable error.
(iv) Each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against
the Swing Line Lender, the Parent, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence,
event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03. No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the
Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing
Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each
Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of
the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
43
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each
Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lenders Applicable Percentage of any Swing
Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the
account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing
Line Lender.
(g) Auto Borrow Arrangement. In order to facilitate the borrowing of Swing
Line Loans, the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender may mutually agree to, and are hereby
authorized to, enter into an auto borrow agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender, with notice to the Administrative Agent (the
Auto Borrow Agreement) providing for the automatic advance by the Swing Line
Lender of Swing Line Loans under the conditions set forth in the Auto Borrow Agreement,
subject to the conditions set forth herein. At any time an Auto Borrow Agreement is in
effect, Borrowings of Swing Line Loans under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be made in
accordance with the terms of the Auto Borrow Agreement. For purposes of determining the
Total Revolving Outstandings at any time during which an Auto Borrow Agreement is in
effect, the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be the sum of the
Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans at such time plus the maximum amount available to be
borrowed under such Auto Borrow Agreement at such time.
2.05 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.
(i) Revolving Loans and Term Loan. The Borrower may, upon notice from
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans and the Term Loan in whole or in part without

Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to
any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment
of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof
(or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (C) any

otherwise directed by the Borrower, shall be applied to the remaining principal
amortization payments in direct order of maturity. Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and,
if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of the amount of such Lenders
Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest
on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be applied to
the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages.

L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C

hereafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (A) 50% (if the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is equal to or greater than 2.5:1.0), 25%
(if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is less than 2.5:1.0
but equal to or greater than 2.0:1.0) and 0% (if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the
end of such fiscal year is less than 2.0:1.0) of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for such
fiscal year (or, in the case of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, for the period
from the Closing Date through December 31, 2011) minus (B) the aggregate amount of optional
prepayments of the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) and the aggregate

for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2011).
(v) Debt Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by the Parent or any Subsidiary

(vii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to
be paid pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied as follows:
(A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section

Line Loans, second, to the outstanding Revolving Loans, and,
third, to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations; and

of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b)
shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or
penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid
through the date of prepayment.
(viii) Eurodollar Prepayment Account. If the Borrower is required to
make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section
2.05(b) (other than Section 2.05(b)(i)) so long as no Event of Default
exists, the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in
full, to deposit an amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the
Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in the
sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited

Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable
thereto or, sooner, at the election of the Administrative Agent, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so
deposited shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents
maturing on or prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such
amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans; any interest earned
on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower
will deposit with
the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such Cash Equivalents
to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with
the deposited amounts may not be reduced.
2.06 Optional Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments to an amount not less than the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing
Line Loans and L/C Obligations; provided that (a) any such notice shall be received

excess thereof and (c) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the

excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination
or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable

2.08 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at
a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate
per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower
under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable
grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then
upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default
exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal
to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest
hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after
judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law.
2.09 Fees.
In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage, a commitment fee (the Commitment Fee) equal to the product
of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of
Revolving Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C
Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. The
Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including
at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not
met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The
Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any
change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during
such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For
48
purposes of clarification, Swing Line Loans shall not be considered outstanding for
purposes of determining the unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(b) Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at
the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid
and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.
(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans
determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees
and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which
results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis
of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan
or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on
which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.
(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements of the Parent or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine
that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable
date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would
have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and
retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the
Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States,
automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C
Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have
been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such
period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The Borrowers obligations
under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
2.11 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error of the amount of the Credit
Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall
not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of demonstrable error. Upon the request
of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver
to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence
such Lenders Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note
shall be in the form
49
of Exhibit 2.11 (a Note). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and
endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender
and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts
or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender
in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall
control in the absence of demonstrable error.
2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agents Clawback.
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the Administrative Agents Office in Dollars and in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative
Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire
transfer to such Lenders Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent
after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the
Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing
interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date
in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required
by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment
to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the
Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same
or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the
amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share
of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lenders Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall
be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
50
(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it
to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater
of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with
respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
demonstrable error.
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the
foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to
the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit
Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the
terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received
from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make
payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any
Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender
of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or
to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in
any particular place or manner.
2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it,
or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans
held by it resulting in such Lenders receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than
its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b)
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as
shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or
any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
or subparticipations
51
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A)
any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds
arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash
Collateral provided for in Section 2.14 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than an assignment to the Parent or any Subsidiary (as to which
the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
2.14 Cash Collateral.
(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing
request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or
(ii) if, as of the Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding,
the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender,
immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount
sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section
2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support
not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest
bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by
any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority
security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all
other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the
foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied
pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines
that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral
is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the
Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, pay or provide to
the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such deficiency.
(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.15 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of
Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific
L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including,
as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such
obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to
any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
52
(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to
reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the
elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto
(including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as
appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vi))) or (ii)
the Administrative Agents good faith determination that there exists excess Cash
Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan
Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default (and following application
as provided in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise applied in accordance with
Section 9.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or
Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but
instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
2.15 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lenders right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement
shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08),
shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative
Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata
basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or
requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral
for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in
any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so
long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing
deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting
Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that
Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so
long as no Default exists,
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against
that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lenders breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C
Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, as
applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay
the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata
basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings
owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other
53
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts
owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii)
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (A) shall not be entitled
to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender)
and (B) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided
in Section 2.03(h).
(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting
Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for
purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender
to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line
Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the Applicable
Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect
to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (A) each such
reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default exists; and (B) the aggregate obligation
of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference,
if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing
Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting
Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will
so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice
and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with
respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that
portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the
Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and
unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata
basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect
to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a
Defaulting Lender; and provided; further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting
Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
arising from that Lenders having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes Obligation to Withhold: Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan
Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted
by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Loan Party or the
Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or
deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such
54
Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the
information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii) If the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Internal
Revenue Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup
withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent
shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be
required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to
subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Internal
Revenue Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as
necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection
(a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable Laws.
(c) Tax Indemnification.
(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Loan Parties
shall, and do hereby indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer,
and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
withheld or deducted by the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent or paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. The Loan Parties shall also, and do hereby, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after
demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to
pay to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection; provided
that, for avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid by the Loan Parties to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to clause (i) of this Section shall be subject to the indemnification
obligations of such Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section. A
certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by
a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and
the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Loan Party and the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after
demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims,
liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent) incurred by
or asserted against such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental
Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any
documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, to
55
such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the
L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent
under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation
and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the
replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority, as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver (or cause the
applicable Loan Party to deliver) to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall
deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Law to
report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status of Lenders: Tax Documentation.
(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the
time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably
requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan
Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or
deduction, and (C) such Lenders entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction
of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lenders status for withholding
tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a resident
for tax purposes in the United States
(A) any Lender that is a United States person within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other
documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code or
any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date
on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:
56
(I) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,
(III) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required
supporting documentation,
(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is
not (A) a bank within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Internal Revenue Code, (B) a 10 percent shareholder of the Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code,
or (C) a controlled foreign corporation described in section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) executed originals of
IRS Form W-8BEN, or
(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable
Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United
States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made.
(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption
or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in
the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
redesignation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any
jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or
deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain
or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar
Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended and (b) if
such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the
interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base
Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of
the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such
notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all of such Lenders Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate
Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate
57
component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender
may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the
Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof
until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal
for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or
converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate
Loan or in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding
sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the
Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or
any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);
or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
58
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase
the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any
Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter
of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law
affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lenders or
the L/C Issuers holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders or the L/C Issuers capital or on the
capital of such Lenders or the L/C Issuers holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lenders or the L/C Issuers holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders or the L/C
Issuers policies and the policies of such Lenders or the L/C Issuers holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
the L/C Issuer or such Lenders or the L/C Issuers holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the
Borrower shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lenders or the L/C Issuers right to demand such compensation,
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
suffered more than six-months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lenders or the L/C Issuers intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).
3.05 Compensation for Losses.
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,
cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on
a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
59
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or
in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
11.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the
Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or
other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a
comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C
Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
applicable, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or
the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with
any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in
accordance with Section 11.13.
3.07 Survival.
All of the Loan Parties obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of
the Administrative Agent.

collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors
hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations is not paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or
otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand
or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of
the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents or the other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the
largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under applicable Debtor
Relief Laws.
4.02 Obligations Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of
any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution,
release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations,
and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance
whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety
or guarantor (other than Satisfaction in Full), it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts
paid under this Article IV until Satisfaction in Full. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the occurrence of any one or
more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which
shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for
any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such
performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or
any other document relating to the Obligations shall be done or omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under
any of the Loan Documents or any other document relating to the Obligations shall be waived
or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be
released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
61
(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any other holder
of the Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be
perfected; or
(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for
the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any
Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives to the
extent permitted by Law diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Obligations
exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or
any other document relating to the Obligations or against any other Person under any other
guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
4.03 Reinstatement.
The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if
and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations,
whether as a result of any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will
indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other holder of the Obligations in accordance with
Section 11.04 for all reasonable costs and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations in connection
with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending
against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or
similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.
4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.
Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the
Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and
through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.
4.05 Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the Obligations, on the
other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and
payable as specified in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances
specified in Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such
declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the
Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that
their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents
and that the holders of the Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with
the terms thereof.
4.06 Rights of Contribution.
The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each
Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable
law.
62
Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of
such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of
contribution until Satisfaction in Full.
4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.
The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a
continuing guarantee, and shall apply to the Obligations whenever arising.

ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.01 Appointment and Authority.
Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on
its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Loan Party shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if
applicable), potential Swap Contract provider and potential Treasury Management Agreement provider)
and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as
the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any
and all Liens on Collateral, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent and any co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)
granted under the Collateral Documents, or for
exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent),
shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article

attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full
herein with respect thereto.
95
10.02 Rights as a Lender.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term Lender or Lenders shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such
Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be
deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by a Loan Party, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation,
perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the
value or the sufficiency of any
96
Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent.
10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making
of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
10.05 Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Borrower unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on
behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent
shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent
is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
97
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successors
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as
provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agents resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successors appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and
Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all
of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii)
the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit,
if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the
retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letters of Credit.
10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
10.08 No Other Duties; Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers,
syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.
10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the
principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in
such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations arising under
the Loan Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary
98
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and
their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer
and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and
(i), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in
such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.
10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its discretion,
(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon Satisfaction in Full, (ii) that is transferred or to be
transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or any Recovery Event, or (iii) as approved in accordance with
Section 11.01;
(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted
by Section 8.01(i); and
(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agents authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10.

Administrative Agent acting alone); or
(b) prior to the termination of the Revolving Commitments, unless also signed by
Required Revolving Lenders, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall, (i) waive any
Default for purposes of Section 5.02(c) or Section 5.03(b), (ii) amend,

Compliance Certificate demonstrating that after giving effect to the incurrence of such
Incremental Term Facility (and the use of proceeds thereof) on a Pro Forma Basis the Loan
Parties would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.11
recomputed as of the end of the period of the four fiscal quarters most recently ended for
which the Parent has delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b);

(N) subject to the foregoing clauses, the interest rate margins, final maturity date
and weighted average life to maturity applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be
determined by the Borrower and the Persons providing such Incremental Term Facility
thereunder.
The Incremental Term Facility Commitments and credit extensions thereunder shall constitute
Commitments and Credit Extensions under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded
by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing,
benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the
Collateral Documents. Any such amendment effected pursuant to this clause (v) shall amend
the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to set forth the terms of each
Incremental Term Facility established thereby (subject to any applicable restrictions set
forth in this clause (v) and to effect such other changes (including changes to the
provisions of Section 2.05) as the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall
deem necessary or advisable in connection with the establishment of any such Incremental
Term Facility; provided, however, that no such
agreement shall: (A) effect any change described in Section 11.01(a), Section
11.01(b), Section 11.01(c) and Section 11.01(d) without the consent of
each Person required to consent to such change under such clause (it being agreed, however,
that establishment of
103
any Incremental Term Facility will not, of itself, be deemed to effect any of the
changes described in Section 11.01(a) and that modifications to the
definitions of Commitments, Term Loan Commitments,
Loans and Required Lenders or other provisions relating to
voting provisions to provide the Persons providing the applicable Incremental Term
Facility with the benefit of such provisions will not, by themselves, be deemed to
effect any of the changes described in Section 11.01(a)) or (B) amend
Articles VII, VIII or IX in any manner that by its
terms benefits one or more tranches, but not all tranches, of Loans or Commitments
without the prior written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders to the extent
the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments are not so benefited, and of Lenders
holding more than 50% of the outstanding principal amount of each separate tranche
of term loans then existing and not so benefited (it being agreed that no
provision requiring the Borrower to prepay term loans of one or more Incremental
Term Facilities with the proceeds of Dispositions, Recovery Events, Extraordinary
Receipts, Debt Issuances or Equity Issuances will be deemed to violate this
clause).
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended with the
written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties (i) to add
one or more additional revolving credit or term loan facilities to this Agreement and to permit the
extensions of credit and all related obligations and liabilities arising in connection therewith
from time to time outstanding to share ratably (or on a basis subordinated to the existing
facilities hereunder) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the
obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in respect of the existing facilities
hereunder, and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by the
Administrative Agent and approved by the Required Lenders, the Lenders providing such additional
credit facilities to participate in any required vote or action required to be approved by the
Required Lenders or by any other number, percentage or class of Lenders hereunder.

Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of
any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Partys or the
Administrative Agents transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (x) are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party or (y) result from a claim brought by any Loan
Party against such Agent Party for breach in bad faith of such Agent Partys obligations hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, if such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan
Party, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof,
as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall

11.03
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.
No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no

operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including the imposition of the Default
Rate) preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided

and privileges provided by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the

under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise
ascribed to the Administrative Agent
106
pursuant to Section 9.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c)
and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the

Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y)
result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitees obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Loan Party has
obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim
107
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) results from a dispute solely between
Indemnitees and not (1) involving any action or inaction by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
or (2) relating to any action of such Indemnitee in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Lead
Arranger. |
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail

Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment
for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
109
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement
with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A)
apply to the Swing Line Lenders rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B)
prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of
its Revolving Commitment (and the related Revolving Loans thereunder) and its outstanding Term
Loan on a non-pro rata basis;
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to
the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at
the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any
such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Term Loan
Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender
with a Commitment in respect of the Commitment subject to such assignment, an Affiliate of
such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender and (2) any Term Loan to a
Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee
to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then
outstanding); and
(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving Loans and
Revolving Commitments.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent
may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the
Parent or any of the Parents Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the
foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person.
(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and
110
until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate
amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment,
purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting
Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent),
to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y)
acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of
any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall
be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenders rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01. 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to
facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request,
the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this
Section.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative
Agents Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the
Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a
Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person, Defaulting Lender or the Parent or any of the Parents Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lenders
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i)
such Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
111
L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to
subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01. 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.13 as though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers prior written consent
and the Borrower expressly consents to such increased payments. A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.0l(e) as though it were a
Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.
(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i)
upon thirty days notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon
thirty days notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from
among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
hereunder; provided, however,
that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank
of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as
L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to
require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall
retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line
Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right
to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing
Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer
and/or Swing Line Lender, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case
may be, and (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with
respect to such Letters of Credit.
112
11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to
whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners),
(c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process,
(d) to any other party hereto, (e) solely to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise
of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f)
subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to become a Lender
pursuant to clause (v) of the final proviso of Section 11.01 or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Loan
Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent or (h) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent.
For purposes of this Section, Information means all information received from the Parent or
any Subsidiary relating to the Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses,
other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent or any Subsidiary. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Parent or a Subsidiary, as
the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.
11.08 Set-off.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after
obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party
may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x)
all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
113
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender
shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The
rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C
Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff
and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.08, if at any time any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates maintains (a) one or more deposit
accounts for the Borrower or any other Loan Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables
are deposited or (b) any deposit account of the type described in clauses (b), (c) or (d) of the
definition of Excluded Account, then, in each case, such Person shall waive the right of setoff
set forth herein.
11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the Maximum Rate). If the Administrative Agent or any
Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded
to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense,
fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of
interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
11.10
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have
received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other
parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of
any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until Satisfaction in Full.
114
11.12
Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 11.12, if and to the extent that
the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be
limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in
effect only to the extent not so limited.
11.13 Replacement of Lenders.
If
(i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) a Lender (a Non-Consenting Lender)
does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01 but
requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable)
or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the Borrower or Lender accepting such assignment shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 11.06(b);
(b) such Lender being replaced shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100%
of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the
extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lenders failure
to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document, the applicable assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination; provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and
deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such
Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lenders
Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans
pursuant to this
115
Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such
Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto,
as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
11.14

OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE

The words execution, signed, signature, and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall
be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of

as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other

11.18 Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.
Each holder of Intercompany Indebtedness (each a Holder) and each issuer of Intercompany
Indebtedness (each a Maker) agrees with the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the
Obligations as follows:
117
(a) Subordination. The payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts with
respect to Intercompany Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the Obligations.
(b) Payments. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required
Lenders have terminated the Commitments and caused the Loans to be immediately due and payable
pursuant to Section 9.02, no Maker may make, and no Holder may take, demand, receive or
accept, any payment with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness.
(c) Payments Held in Trust. In the event any payment of principal or interest or
distribution of property of any Maker on or in respect of Intercompany Indebtedness shall be
received by any Holder in violation of Section 11.18(b), such payment or distribution shall be held
in trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, and such
Holder will forthwith turn over any such payments in the form received, properly endorsed or
assigned, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations.
(d) Enforcement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Required Lenders have terminated the Commitments and caused the Loans to be immediately due and
payable pursuant to Section 9.02, then no Holder shall be entitled to demand payment of or
accelerate any Intercompany Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies or take any actions against
any Maker to enforce any of such Holders rights with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness.
(e) Collateral. No Holder will ask, demand, accept, or receive any collateral security
from any Loan Party for the payment of Intercompany Indebtedness, and any collateral security for
the payment of Intercompany Indebtedness that any Holder may now or hereafter have on any property
of any Loan Party is expressly subordinated to the Liens of the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the holders of the Obligations, securing the Obligations.
(f) Attorney in Fact. Each Holder irrevocably authorizes and directs the
Administrative Agent and any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, custodian or assignee for the benefit
of creditors of any Maker, whether in voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
reorganization, in its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
the subordination provided for in this Section 11.18 and irrevocably appoints, which
appointment is coupled with an interest, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, or any such trustee, receiver, custodian or assignee,
its attorneys in fact for such purpose with full powers of substitution and revocation; provided
that all such irrevocable appointments shall terminate upon Satisfaction in Full.
(g) Proof and Vote of Claims. Each Holder irrevocably appoints, which appointment is
irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the Administrative Agent as such Holders true and lawful
attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Holder, the Administrative Agent,
the holders of the Obligations or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Administrative
Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, to prove and vote all claims relating to Intercompany
Indebtedness, and to receive and collect all distributions and payments to which such Holder would
be otherwise entitled on any liquidation of any Maker or any of its property or in any proceeding

(iv) as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011, Consolidated
Fixed Charges and Consolidated Cash Flow shall be the actual amount of

any Obligor if the grant of a security interest in such lease, license, contract or other agreement
in the manner contemplated by this Agreement is prohibited under the terms of such lease, license,
contract or other agreement or under applicable Law or would result in default thereunder, the
termination thereof or give the other parties thereto the right to terminate, accelerate or
otherwise alter such Obligors rights, titles and interests thereunder (including upon the giving

prohibition could not be rendered ineffective pursuant to the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or
any other applicable Law (including Debtor Relief Laws) or principles of equity and (ii) such
prohibition has not been waived, terminated or eliminated (after the Borrower has used commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain such consent upon the request of the Administrative Agent).
The Obligors and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured
Obligations, hereby acknowledge and agree that the security interest created hereby in the
Collateral (i) constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations,
whether now existing or hereafter arising and (ii) is not to be construed as an assignment of any
Copyrights, Copyright Licenses, Patents, Patent Licenses, Trademarks or Trademark Licenses.
3. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to
the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, that:
(a) Ownership. Each Obligor is the legal and beneficial owner of its Collateral
or has other requisite rights in its Collateral and has the right to pledge, sell, assign or
transfer the same. There exists no Adverse Claim with respect to the Pledged Equity of such
Obligor.
(b) Security Interest/Priority. This Agreement creates a valid security
interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured
Obligations, in the Collateral of such Obligor and, when properly perfected by filing, shall
constitute a valid and perfected, first priority security interest in such Collateral
(including all uncertificated Pledged Equity consisting of partnership or limited liability
company interests that do not constitute Securities), to the extent such security interest
can be perfected by filing under the UCC, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted
Liens. The taking possession by the Administrative Agent
3
of the certificated securities (if any) evidencing the Pledged Equity and all other
Instruments constituting Collateral will perfect and establish the first priority
of the Administrative Agents security interest in all the Pledged Equity evidenced
by such certificated securities and such Instruments. With respect to any
Collateral consisting of a Deposit Account, Security Entitlement or held in a
Securities Account, upon execution and delivery by the applicable Obligor, the
applicable Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent of an agreement
granting control to the Administrative Agent over such Collateral, the
Administrative Agent shall have a valid and perfected, first priority security
interest in such Collateral.
(c) Types of Collateral. None of the Collateral consists of, or is the
Proceeds of, As-Extracted Collateral, Consumer Goods, Farm Products, Manufactured
Homes or standing timber.
(d) Equipment and Inventory. With respect to any Equipment and/or
Inventory of an Obligor, each such Obligor has exclusive possession and control of
such Equipment and Inventory of such Obligor except for (i) Equipment leased by such
Obligor as a lessee, (ii) Equipment or Inventory in transit with common carriers or
(iii) Equipment absent for repair or refurbishment or absent for other bona fide
business purposes. No Inventory of an Obligor is held by a Person other than an
Obligor pursuant to consignment, sale or return, sale on approval or similar
arrangement.
(e) Authorization of Pledged Equity. All Pledged Equity is duly
authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and, to the extent applicable,
nonassessable and is not subject to the preemptive rights, warrants, options or other
rights to purchase of any Person, or equityholder, voting trust or similar agreements
outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible, into, or that requires
the issuance and sale of, any of the Pledged Equity, except to the extent expressly
permitted under the Loan Documents.
(f)
No Other Equity Interests, Instruments, Etc. As of the Closing Date,
no Obligor owns any certificated Equity Interests in any Subsidiary that are required
to be pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder other than as set
forth on Schedule 1 hereto, and all such certificated Equity Interests have
been delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(g) Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interests. Except as
previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, none of the Collateral
consisting of an interest in a partnership or a limited liability company (i) is
dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its
terms expressly provides that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC,

transfer or assignment in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a)

the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate (i) to assure to the

Administrative Agent may designate, as such Obligors attorney in fact with full power and for the
limited purpose to sign in the name of such Obligor any financing statements, or amendments and
supplements to financing statements, renewal financing statements, notices or any similar documents
which in the Administrative Agents reasonable discretion would be necessary or appropriate in
order to perfect and maintain perfection of the security interests granted hereunder, such power,
being coupled with an interest, being and remaining irrevocable until Satisfaction in Full. Each
Obligor hereby agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any
such financing statement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by the Administrative
Agent without notice thereof to such Obligor wherever the Administrative Agent may in its sole
discretion desire to file the same.
(c) Collateral Held by Warehouseman, Bailee, etc. If any Collateral is at any time in
the possession or control of a warehouseman, bailee or any agent or processor of such Obligor and
the Administrative Agent so requests (i) notify such Person in writing of the Administrative
Agents security interest therein, (ii) instruct such Person to hold all such Collateral for the
Administrative Agents account and subject to the Administrative Agents instructions and (iii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a written acknowledgment from such Person that it is
holding such Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.
(d)

required by the Administrative Agent, or required by Law to create, preserve, perfect and maintain
the Administrative Agents security interest in any Commercial Tort Claims initiated by or in favor
of any Obligor.
(e) Books and Records. Mark its books and records (and shall cause the issuer of the
Pledged Equity of such Obligor to mark its books and records) to reflect the security interest
granted pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) Nature of Collateral. At all times maintain the Collateral as personal property
and not affix any of the Collateral to any real property in a manner which would change its nature
from personal property to real property or a Fixture to real property, unless the Administrative
Agent shall have a perfected Lien on such Fixture or real property.
(g) Issuance or Acquisition of Equity Interests in Partnership or Limited Liability
Company. Not without executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to the
Administrative Agent such agreements, documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably require, issue or acquire any Pledged Equity consisting of an interest in a partnership
or a limited liability company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or
6
in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a Security
governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an Investment Company Security, (iv) is held in
a Securities Account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.
5. Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Obligor hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to prepare and file such financing statements (including continuation
statements) or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other instruments as the Administrative
Agent may from time to time deem necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests
granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC (including authorization to describe the Collateral as
all personal property, all assets or words of similar meaning).
6. Advances. On failure of any Obligor to perform any of the covenants and
agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole
discretion, after five (5) days written notice to the Obligors, perform the same and in so doing
may expend such sums as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance
thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any
taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending
against any adverse claim and all other expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for
the protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation of Law. All
such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint and several basis
promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured
Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate. No
such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Obligor,
and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors of any Default or Event of
Default. The Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any
bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to
be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent
such payment is being contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate proceedings and against
which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.
7. Remedies.
(a) General Remedies. During the continuation of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the
Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by Law (including,
but not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set forth in the
UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where
the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral), and further, the Administrative Agent may, with or without judicial process or the
aid and assistance of others, (i) enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be
located and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the
Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Obligors to
assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent at the expense of the Obligors any
Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably
convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of
effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement,
notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby waives to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral
held by or for it at public or private sale (which in the case of a private sale of Pledged
Equity, shall be to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other
things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or resale thereof), at any exchange or brokers board or elsewhere, by one or
more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash,
7
upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Administrative Agent deems
advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements).
Each Obligor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less
favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at
a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and, in the case of a sale
of Pledged Equity, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of
any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities
to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the
Administrative Agents compliance with applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties
relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale. To the extent the rights of notice cannot
be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such
notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Obligors in
accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement at
least 10 days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice.
The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice,
be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Obligor further
acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell any Pledged Equity which has been (i)
publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general
circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such
offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or
(ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a public sale
under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a public offering under the
Securities Act of 1933, and the Administrative Agent may, in such event, bid for the
purchase of such securities. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To
the extent permitted by applicable Law, any holder of Secured Obligations may be a
purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the
Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale. Subject
to the provisions of applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may postpone or cause the
postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the
time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent
permitted by Law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the
Administrative Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.
(b) Remedies relating to Accounts. During the continuation of an Event
of Default, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its
rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Obligor will promptly upon request of the
Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect
of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any Obligors rights against
its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent or its designee may
notify any Obligors customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such
Obligor have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative
Agents security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name
of an Obligor or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a
lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, compound, settle,
compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any
Account, and, in the Administrative Agents discretion, file any claim or take any
other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the
holders of the Secured Obligations in the Accounts. Each Obligor acknowledges and
agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for
the Administrative Agents own convenience and that such Obligor shall not have any
right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as
expressly provided herein. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the holders of the
Secured Obligations shall have any liability or responsibility to any Obligor for
acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the
legend payment in full or words of similar import or any other restrictive
legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any
8
remittance. Furthermore, during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Administrative
Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in
any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Obligors shall
furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may require in connection
with such test verifications, (ii) upon the Administrative Agents request and at the expense of
the Obligors, the Obligors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations,
aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts and (iii) the Administrative
Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account debtors on the
Accounts to verify with them to the Administrative Agents satisfaction the existence, amount and
terms of any Accounts.
(c) Deposit Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during
continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of
funds in Deposit Accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent.
(d) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter and
remain upon the various premises of the Obligors without cost or charge to the Administrative
Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Obligors for
the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting
the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the
Administrative Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any
records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral.
(e) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or the
holders of the Secured Obligations to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, any other document relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by
Law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations in
exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver
hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver
is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the
Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations shall only be granted as provided
herein. To the extent permitted by Law, neither the Administrative Agent, the holders of the
Secured Obligations, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative Agent or the holders
of the Secured Obligations, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of
judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct
hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured
Obligations under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy
which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations may have.
(f) Retention
of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, the
Administrative Agent may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise
complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain
the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
(g) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization
are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured
Obligations are legally entitled, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the
deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of
collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel. Any surplus remaining after the full
payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Obligors or to
whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled
9
thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan
Documents or in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, the obligations of each
Obligor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate
amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance
under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other applicable Debtor Relief
Law (including any comparable provisions of any applicable state Law).
8. Rights of the Administrative Agent.
(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each
Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the
Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor,
irrevocably until Satisfaction in Full and with power of substitution, with authority to take any
or all of the following actions during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and releases, all
as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine;
(ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting
any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;
(iii) to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith,
give such discharge or release as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate;
(iv) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor and endorse checks,
notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other
instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise
to the Collateral of such Obligor on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor, or
securing, or relating to such Collateral;
(v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with
or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services which have given
rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes;
(vi) adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;
(vii) execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing
statements, renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and
other agreements, instruments and documents that the Administrative Agent may determine
necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this
Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;
(viii) institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem
appropriate;
(ix) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers,
verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral;
(x) to exchange any of the Pledged Equity or other property upon any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof
and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Equity with any committee,
depository, transfer
10
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably deem appropriate;
(xi) to vote for a shareholder resolution, or to sign an instrument in writing,
sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged Equity into the name of the
Administrative Agent or one or more of the holders of the Secured Obligations or into the
name of any transferee to whom the Pledged Equity or any part thereof may be sold pursuant
to Section 7 hereof;
(xii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances
levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(xiii) to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly
to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct;
(xiv) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other
amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;
and
(xv) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until
Satisfaction in Full. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the
exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to
the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or
any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for
any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as
attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful
misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect,
preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral. |
(b) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to
time assign the Secured Obligations to a successor Administrative Agent appointed in accordance
with the Credit Agreement, and such successor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies
of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement in relation thereto.
(c) The Administrative Agents Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable
care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining
thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for preservation of
all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility
for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be
no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being
understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary
steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of
a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall
have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the
Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps
to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
11
(d) Liability with Respect to Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
each of the Obligors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with
the terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any holder of Secured Obligations shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any
agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the
Administrative Agent or any holder of Secured Obligations of any payment relating to such Account
pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any holder of Secured Obligations be
obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of an Obligor under or pursuant to any
Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the
nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance
by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any
claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which
may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
(e) Voting and Payment Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity.
(i) So long as no Event of Default shall exist, each Obligor may (A) exercise any and
all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity of such Obligor or
any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the
Credit Agreement and (B) receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock
dividends and other dividends constituting Collateral which are addressed hereinabove),
principal or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent they are allowed
under the Credit Agreement; and
(ii) During the continuance of an Event of Default after delivery of written notice
from the Administrative Agent, (A) all rights of an Obligor to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause
(i)(A) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Administrative Agent which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other
consensual rights, (B) all rights of an Obligor to receive the dividends, principal and
interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to
clause (i)(B) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the
Administrative Agent which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral
such dividends, principal and interest payments, and (C) all dividends, principal and
interest payments which are received by an Obligor contrary to the provisions of clause
(ii)(B) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall
be segregated from other property or funds of such Obligor, and shall be forthwith paid
over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by
the Administrative Agent as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured
Obligations.
(f) Releases of Collateral. (i) If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of by any Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the
Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Obligor, shall promptly execute and
deliver to such Obligor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably
necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such
Collateral. (ii) The Administrative Agent may release any of the Pledged Equity from this Agreement
or may substitute any of the Pledged Equity for other Pledged Equity without altering, varying or
diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Agreement as to
any Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted, and this Agreement shall continue as a
first priority lien on all Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted.
9. Application of Proceeds. Upon the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to
Section 9.02
of the Credit Agreement, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the
Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations in
cash or its
12
equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in
Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.
10. Continuing Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until Satisfaction in Full, at which
time this Agreement and the liens and security interests granted herein shall be automatically
terminated and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors,
forthwith provide evidence of the release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and
shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably
requested by the Obligors evidencing such termination.
(b) This Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if at any time payment, in whole or in
part, of any of the Satisfaction in Full is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent
conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made;
provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Satisfaction in Full is rescinded or
must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any
reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the
Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as
a part of the Secured Obligations.
11. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications, etc. This Agreement and the provisions hereof
may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in
Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any update or revision to Schedule
2 hereof delivered by any Obligor shall not constitute an amendment for purposes of this
Section 11 or Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.
12. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Obligor, its
successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations and their successors and permitted assigns.
13. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement
shall be in conformance with Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and
by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which where so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It

under the Purchase Agreement or decline to consummate the Merger as a result of a breach of such
representations and warranties and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below). For

ANNEX A TO COMMITMENT LETTER
INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER
Except as otherwise defined in this Annex A, capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the meanings assigned to them elsewhere in this Commitment Letter.
You hereby agree (i) to indemnify and hold harmless Jefferies Finance (we or us), the Investors
and each of our and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries (including Jefferies & Company,
Inc. (Jefco) and each of the respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees,
affiliates, shareholders, advisors, agents, representatives, attorneys-in-fact and controlling
persons of each of the foregoing (each, an Indemnified Party) from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (collectively, Losses) to which any such Indemnified
Party, directly or indirectly, may become subject arising out of, relating to, resulting from or
otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing Letters (other than the Engagement Letter), the
Debt Financing, the use of the proceeds therefrom, the Transactions, any of the other transactions
contemplated by the Debt Financing Letters (but not for financial advisory services provided by the
Financial Advisor acting in such capacity), or any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation,
inquiry or proceeding (each, a Claim) directly or indirectly arising out of, relating to,
resulting from or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT
CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF
THE INDEMNIFIED PERSON), regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a named party thereto or
whether such Claim is brought by you, any of your affiliates or a third party and (ii) to promptly
reimburse each Indemnified Party at any time and from time to time following written demand for all
reasonable legal fees (limited to one counsel, one local counsel and, in the event of any actual or
potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each Indemnified Party subject to such
conflict) and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating,
preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a
witness with respect to, any Claim, directly or indirectly, arising out of, relating to, resulting
from or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing (including in connection with the
enforcement of the indemnification obligations and waivers set forth in this Annex A);
provided, however, that no Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnity and waivers hereunder in
respect of any Loss to the extent that (A) it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction that such Loss resulted directly from the bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, (B) result directly from a Claim
brought by you against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of our initial funding
obligations under the Commitment Letter, if you have obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in
its favor on such Claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) it results from a
dispute solely between the Indemnified Parties and not (1) involving any action or inaction by you
or any of your subsidiaries or (2) relating to any action of such Indemnified Party in its capacity
as Administrative Agent or Arranger. In addition, in no event will any person be liable for
consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits,
business or anticipated savings), whether, directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure to
fund all or any portion of the Debt Financing or otherwise arising out of, relating to, resulting
from or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing or arising out of, relating to, resulting
from or otherwise in connection with any Claim or otherwise (provided that the foregoing shall in
no event affect you obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party as a set forth in this Annex A
for Claims not raised by such Indemnified Party). In addition, no Indemnified Party will be liable
for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information, Projections or other
Materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems
that are intercepted or otherwise obtained by such persons, except to the extent it is found by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Loss resulted
directly from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.
Annex A-1
You shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise
seek to terminate any pending or threatened Claim in which any Indemnified Party is or could be a
party and as to which indemnification or contribution could have been sought by such Indemnified
Party hereunder whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any Debt Financing Letter,
unless (i) such Indemnified Party and each other Indemnified Party from which such Indemnified
Party could have sought indemnification or contribution have given their prior written consent,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (ii) the settlement,
compromise, consent or termination includes an express unconditional release of all Indemnified
Parties and their respective affiliates from all Losses, directly or indirectly, arising out of,
relating to, resulting from or otherwise in connection with such Claim.
If for any reason (other than the express carve-outs set forth above) the foregoing indemnity
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then
you to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by you, on the one hand, and by us, on the other hand, from the
Transactions or, if allocation on that basis is not permitted under applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by you, on the one
hand, and us, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of you, on the one hand, and us, on
the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions
hereof, the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Parties to all Losses shall not exceed the
amount of fees actually received by us and Jefco pursuant to the Fee Letter and the Engagement
Letter. For the purposes of this paragraph, it is hereby further agreed that (i) the relative
benefits to you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, with respect to the Transactions shall
be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total value paid or received or contemplated to
be paid or received by you, your equityholders and/or your or their respective affiliates, as the
case may be, in the Transactions, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, bears to (y) the
fees actually paid to us and Jefco under the Fee Letter and the Engagement Letter and (ii) the
relative fault of you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, with respect to the Transactions
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by you, any of your affiliates and/or any of your or their respective
officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, advisors, agents,
representatives, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons (collectively, the Acquiror Group) or
by us, as well as your and our relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The indemnity, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations set forth herein (i) shall
be in addition to any liability you may have to any Indemnified Party at law, in equity or
otherwise, (ii) shall survive the expiration or termination of the Debt Financing Letters
(notwithstanding any other provision of any Debt Financing Letter or the Definitive Debt
Documents), (iii) shall apply to any modification, amendment, waiver or supplement of our and any
of our affiliates commitment and/or engagement, (iv) shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of us or any other Indemnified Party
and (v) shall be binding on any successor or assign of you and the successors or assigns to any
substantial portion of your business and assets.

Exhibit A-8
EXHIBIT B TO COMMITMENT LETTER
SUMMARY OF TERMS OF EXTENDED TERM LOANS
AND EXCHANGE NOTES
Set forth below is a summary of certain of the terms of the Extended Term Loans and the
Exchange Notes and the documentation related thereto. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined in this Exhibit B have the meanings set forth elsewhere in this Commitment Letter.
Extended Term Loans
On the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, so long as no Conversion Default has occurred and is
continuing, the outstanding Bridge Loans will be converted automatically into Extended Term Loans.
The Extended Term Loans will be governed by the provisions of the Bridge Loan Documents and, except
as expressly set forth below, will have the same terms as the Bridge Loans.
|
|
|
Maturity
|
|
The Extended Term Loans will mature on the sixth
anniversary of the Bridge Loan Maturity Date. |
|
|
|
Interest Rate
|
|
The Extended Term Loans will bear interest at a
floating rate per annum (the Interest Rate)
equal to the maximum amount of the Rate
(including after giving effect to increases
thereto pursuant to the provisions of the Fee
Letter), without giving effect to any default
interest. |
|
|
|
|
|
Interest will be payable in arrears at the end
of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower. Default
interest will be payable on demand. |
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the
occurrence and during the continuation of an
event of default or any payment or bankruptcy
default, interest will accrue on the Extended
Term Loans at the then-applicable rate plus
2.00% per annum. |
Exhibit B-1
Exchange Notes
At any time on or after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, upon five or more business days prior
notice, the Extended Term Loans may, at the option of any Lender, be exchanged for a principal
amount of Exchange Notes equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans
so exchanged (plus any accrued interest thereon not required to be paid in cash); provided,
that the Borrower shall not be obligated to issue any Exchange Notes until Lenders holding at least
$50 million of Extended Term Loans request such exchange. The Borrower will issue Exchange Notes
under an indenture (the Indenture) that complies with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended. The Borrower will appoint a trustee reasonably acceptable to the Lenders.
|
|
|
Maturity Date
|
|
The Exchange Notes will mature on the
sixth anniversary of the Bridge Loan
Maturity Date. |
|
|
|
Interest Rate
|
|
Each Exchange Note will bear interest
(at the sole option of the holder of
such Exchange Note) at (i) a fixed rate
equal to the interest rate on the
Extended Term Loan surrendered in
exchange for such Exchange Note as of
the date of such exchange or (ii) a
floating rate per annum equal to
three-month LIBOR (as adjusted at the
end of each interest period and adjusted
for all applicable reserve requirements)
plus an applicable margin (to be
mutually determined). |
|
|
|
|
|
Interest will be payable in arrears
semi-annually. Default interest will be
payable on demand. |
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the
occurrence and during the continuation
of an event of default or a payment or
bankruptcy default, interest will accrue
on the Extended Term Loans at the
then-applicable rate plus 2.00% per
annum. |
|
|
|
Transferability
|
|
If the Extended Term Loans are converted
to Exchange Notes, the Borrower,
promptly following reasonable request by
any holder of such Exchange Notes or the
Administrative Agent, shall be required
to ensure that such Exchange Notes are
DTC-eligible. |
|
|
|
Optional Redemption
|
|
Exchange Notes will be non-callable
until the third anniversary of the
Bridge Loan Maturity Date (subject to
equity clawback provisions acceptable
to the Arranger). Thereafter, each
Exchange Note will be callable at par
plus accrued interest plus a premium
equal to one half of the coupon on such
Exchange Note, which premium shall
decline ratably on each yearly
anniversary of the Bridge Loan Maturity
Date to zero on the date that is six
months prior to the maturity of the
Exchange Notes. |
|
|
|
|
|
Prior to the third anniversary of the date of funding of the |
Exhibit B-2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bridge Loans, the
Borrower may redeem such Exchange Notes
at a make-whole price based on U.S.
Treasury note with a maturity closest to
the third anniversary of such funding
date plus 50 basis points. |
|
|
|
|
|
The optional redemption provisions will
be otherwise consistent with high yield
debt securities. |
|
|
|
Defeasance Provisions
|
|
Customary defeasance provisions for high
yield offerings and transactions of this
type. |
|
|
|
Modification
|
|
Customary modification provisions for
high yield offerings and transaction of
this type. |
|
|
|
Change of Control
|
|
The Borrower will make an offer to
repurchase the Exchange Notes following
the occurrence of a change of control
(to be defined in a manner consistent
with Sponsor Precedent) at 101% of the
outstanding principal amount thereof. |
|
|
|
Registration Rights
|
|
Within 120 days after the Bridge Loan
Maturity Date, the Borrower will file
and will use its best efforts to cause
to become effective as soon thereafter
as practicable, a shelf registration
statement with respect to the Exchange
Notes (a Shelf Registration
Statement). If a Shelf Registration
Statement is filed, the Borrower will
keep such registration statement
effective and available (subject to
customary exceptions) until it is no
longer needed, as reasonably determined
by the Arranger, to permit unrestricted
resales of all of the Exchange Notes and
in no event longer than two years. If,
within 270 days after the Bridge Loan
Maturity Date (the Effectiveness
Date), a Shelf Registration Statement
for the Exchange Notes has not been
declared effective, then the Borrower
will pay liquidated damages in the form
of increased interest of 25 basis points
per annum on the principal amount of
Exchange Notes and Extended Term Loans
outstanding to holders of such Exchange
Notes and Extended Term Loans who are
unable freely to transfer Exchange Notes
from and including the day that is 30
days after the Effectiveness Date to but
excluding the effective date of such
Shelf Registration Statement. On the
90th day after the Effectiveness Date,
the liquidated damages shall increase by
25 basis points per annum, and on each
90-day anniversary thereafter, shall
increase by 25 basis points per annum,
to a maximum increase in interest
pursuant to this sentence of 100 basis
points per annum. The Borrower will
also pay such liquidated damages for any
period of time (subject to customary
exceptions) following the effectiveness
of a Shelf Registration |
Exhibit B-3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Statement that
such Shelf Registration Statement is not
available for sales thereunder (subject
to customary exceptions). All accrued
liquidated damages will be paid on each
quarterly interest payment date. For the
avoidance of doubt, the amount of
liquidated damages payable hereunder is
in addition (and not otherwise subject)
to any other interest rate caps or
limitations contained in any Debt
Financing Letter. In addition, unless
and until the Borrower has consummated
the registered exchange offer and caused
the Shelf Registration Statement to
become effective, the holders of the
Exchange Notes will have the right to
piggy-back the Exchange Notes in the
registration of any debt securities
(subject to customary scale-back
provisions) that are registered by the
Borrower (other than on a Form S-4)
unless all the Exchange Notes, Bridge
Loans and Extended Term Loans will be
redeemed or repaid from the proceeds of
such securities. |
|
|
|
Covenants
|
|
The Indenture will include covenants
similar to those contained in indentures
governing publicly traded high yield
debt securities (but more restrictive in
certain respects). |
|
|
|
Events of Default
|
|
The Indenture will provide for events of
default similar to those contained in
indentures governing publicly traded
high yield debt securities. |

event whatsoever shall Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax,
interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for
failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or
following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a separation from
service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of
this Agreement, references to a termination, termination of employment, termination of
the Employment Period or like terms shall mean separation from service.
(iii) All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or
prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses
were incurred by Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable
income to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were
incurred),

the Termination Date), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be

success of Holdings and the Subsidiaries depends upon the use and protection of a large body of
confidential and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information now
existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as

other information concerning patients (including, without limitation, all Protected Health

(C) internal business information and intellectual property of every kind and description of
Holdings and the Subsidiaries). Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for five (5)
years thereafter, he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any
of such Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Executive, without the Boards prior
written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) was known to
Executive prior to the negotiation of this Agreement or the Employment Period from a source (other

Executive, was not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary
obligation to Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, (ii) becomes generally known to and available
for use by the public other than as a result of Executives acts or omissions to act or (iii) is

(b) Use of Others Confidential Information. During the Employment Period, Executive
shall not use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former
employers or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. If at any
time during his employment with the Company, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work
that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may
have to former employers, then Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executives
duties can be modified appropriately.
(c) Third-Party Information. Executive understands that Holdings and the Subsidiaries
will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (Third-Party
Information) subject to a duty on Holdings and the Subsidiaries part to maintain the
confidentiality of
- 7 -
such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period
and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 5(a) above,
Executive will hold Third-Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to
anyone (other than personnel of Holdings or the Subsidiaries who need to know such information in
connection with their work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries) or use, except in connection with his
work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries, Third-Party Information unless expressly authorized by the
Board in writing.
6. Ownership of Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges
that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments,
methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications,

registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or
related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Holdings or the Subsidiaries

copyrightable work is not a work made for hire, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to
Holdings or such Subsidiary all right, title and interest, including, without limitation,
copyright, in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product
to the Board and, at the Companys expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board
(whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership by Holdings
or such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, execution and delivery of assignments, consents,
powers of attorney and other instruments).
7. Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.
(a) Non-Compete. In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Executive
hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment with the Company he has
and shall become familiar with Holdings and the Subsidiaries trade secrets and with other

division, segment or subsidiary of any other business that engages in or otherwise competes with
(or was organized for the purpose of engaging in or competing with) the business of providing

construed to prohibit Executive from directly or indirectly owning any interest in, managing,
controlling, participating in, consulting with, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging
in any business activities with or for such business generally and, for the avoidance of doubt, not
specifically with respect to such unit, division, segment or subsidiary), in each case, within any
geographical area in which Holdings and the Subsidiaries engage in such businesses;
provided that Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Section 7(a) if the Employment Period is terminated by the Company without Cause or by
Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in breach of its obligations under
Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good faith dispute between the
- 8 -
Company and Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the term participate in shall
include, without limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any Person, whether as a
sole proprietor, owner, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or rendering
any direct or indirect service or assistance to any individual, corporation, partnership, joint
venture and other business entity (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, employee,
agent, consultant or otherwise). Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner
of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly
traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
(b) Non-Solicit. During the Employment Period and for a period thereafter of
twenty-four (24) months (the Nonsolicit Period), Executive shall not directly or
indirectly through another Person (other than on behalf of Holdings and the Subsidiaries) (i)
induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Holdings or the Subsidiaries
to leave the employ or services of Holdings or the Subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the
relationship between Holdings and the Subsidiaries and any employee or independent contractor
thereof, (ii) hire or seek any business affiliation with any person who was an employee or
independent contractor of Holdings or the Subsidiaries at any time during the twelve (12) months
prior to the Termination Date or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier,
licensee, licensor or other business relation of Holdings or any Subsidiary to cease doing business
with Holdings or such Subsidiary or interfere with the relationship between any such customer,
supplier, licensor or other business relation and Holdings or any Subsidiary; provided that
Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(b) if the
Employment Period is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason and
for so long as the Company is in breach of its obligations under Section 4(b) and such
breach is not the subject of a good faith dispute between the Company and Executive.
(c) Non-Disparagement. Without limiting any other obligation of Executive pursuant to
this Agreement, Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, except as may be required by applicable
law, Executive shall not make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any
other action in disparagement of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, during the Employment Period
and for a period of five (5) years thereafter (the Non-Disparagement Period). Without
limiting any other obligation of the Company and/or Holdings pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company and Holdings hereby covenant and agree that, except as may be required by applicable law,
the Company and Holdings shall cause their executive officers and members of their boards of
directors or boards of managers, as applicable, and each of Reeve B. Waud and Charles E. Edwards
not to make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any other action in
disparagement of Executive, during the Employment Period and the Non-Disparagement Period.
(d) Blue-Pencil. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5 or 6 or
this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated
herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum
duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained
herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Executive hereby
acknowledges and represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding
his rights and obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity
to do so and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 are in consideration of Executives
employment with the Company and other good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 do not preclude
- 9 -
Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on
Executives ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive acknowledges (x) that the business of
Holdings and the Subsidiaries will be conducted throughout the United States and its territories
and beyond, (y) notwithstanding the state of organization or principal office of Holdings or any of
the Subsidiaries or facilities, or any of their respective executives or employees (including
Executive), it is expected that Holdings and the Subsidiaries will have business activities and
have valuable business relationships within its industry throughout the United States and its
territories and beyond, and (z) as part of Executives responsibilities, Executive will be
traveling throughout the United States and other jurisdictions where Holdings and the Subsidiaries
conduct business during the Employment Period in furtherance of the Companys business
relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to Holdings and the
Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of any provision of Sections 5 and 6 and this
Section 7 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or
otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and either consulted
with legal counsel of Executives choosing regarding its contents or knowingly and voluntarily
waived the opportunity to do so, has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon
Executive by this Agreement and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and
proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of Holdings and the Subsidiaries now
existing or to be developed in the future. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each
and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter,
duration and geographical area.
(f) Specific Performance. In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7,
Holdings and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its

proceeding (a Proceeding) is commenced or threatened by any party hereto (the
Claiming Party) to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party hereto
(the Defending Party), if the Defending Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding,
all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs, incurred by the Defending Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Claiming
Party, and, if the Claiming Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding, all fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, incurred by the
Claiming Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Defending Party; provided that
if the Defending Party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court,
arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Claiming Party and the Defending Party on an equitable
basis. For purposes of this Section 26(b), and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Defending Party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding if the Claiming
Party commences or threatens such Proceeding and (i) the underlying claim(s) in such Proceeding are
subsequently dropped or dismissed, or (ii) the Defending Party defeats any such claim(s).
27. Holdings Guarantee. Holdings unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay and
perform, upon Executives demand following a default by the Company, any and all obligations of the
Company from time to time owed to Executive under this Agreement, subject to any applicable cure
period. Holdings further agrees that if the Company shall fail to fulfill any of its obligations
under this
- 16 -
Agreement, Holdings will perform the same on demand as a principal obligor, and not as a
surety. This is a continuing guarantee of the obligations and may not be revoked and shall not
otherwise terminate unless and until the obligations of the Company have been paid and performed in
full. Holdings represents and warrants that it will receive a substantial benefit from Companys
employment of Executive, which employment gives rise to the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. Holdings acknowledges that Executive would not execute this Agreement if it did not
receive this guarantee. The obligations of Holdings under this Section 27 will terminate
automatically upon a Sale of the LLC (as defined in the LLC Agreement).

Exhibit 10.8
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of January
31, 2011, by and between Acadia Management Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), and Jack E. Polson (Executive).
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment; Employment Period. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive
hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date on which Executives
employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof (the Employment Period).
The place of employment of Executive shall be the principal executive offices and corporate
headquarters of the Company and Holdings, which, during the Employment Period, shall be located in
Davidson County or Williamson County, Tennessee upon the relocation of such headquarters from
Atlanta, Georgia as soon as reasonably practical after the date hereof.
2. Position and Duties.
(a) Position; Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as
the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and shall have the normal
duties, responsibilities, functions and authority of an Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, subject to the power and authority of the board of managers (the
Board) of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(Holdings), to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority
within the scope of duties, responsibilities, functions and authority associated with the position
of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and to overrule actions of officers of the
Company.
(b) Reporting; Performance of Duties. Executive shall report to the Board and devote
his full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods
of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Holdings and the Subsidiaries. So
long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent or approval of the Board, perform other services for compensation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving, with the prior written consent
of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in
the case of a non-corporate entity) of for-profit companies or businesses which are not directly
competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that the prior written consent of
the Board shall not be required for Executive to serve as a member of the boards of directors or
advisory boards (or their equivalents) of the companies listed on Schedule 2(b)), (ii)
engaging in charitable activities and community affairs (including serving as a member of the
boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity)
of not-for-profit, charitable or community organizations which are not directly competitive with
the Company or any Subsidiary); provided, however, the activities set out in
clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere,
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not provide any services to any company or business that is directly
competitive with Holdings or the Subsidiaries (whether for-profit or not-for-profit) without
the prior written consent of the Board.
3. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executives base salary shall be
$240,000 per annum, subject to increase by the Board in its sole discretion on an annual basis (as
adjusted from time to time, the Base Salary), which salary shall be payable by the
Company in regular installments in accordance with the Companys general payroll practices (as in
effect from time to time). The Base Salary for any partial year during the Employment Period will
be based upon the actual number of days elapsed in such year.
(b) Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse
Executive in the calendar year in which they are incurred for all reasonable out-of-pocket business
expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement which are consistent with the Companys policies in effect from time to time with respect
to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Companys requirements with
respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. The Company also will reimburse Executive
promptly following the date hereof (and in any event prior to December 31, 2011) for all reasonable
out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him prior to the date of this Agreement in connection
with Executives meetings with various principals of and investors in Holdings and the Subsidiaries
subject to the Companys requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses.
The Companys aggregate reimbursement obligations under the immediately preceding sentence, and the
corresponding provisions of the employment agreements entered into simultaneously herewith, shall
not exceed $10,000, and, to the extent that Executive submits expenses which, when aggregated with
the others, exceed $10,000, then Executive and such others shall determine among themselves the
apportionment of such $10,000, and, notwithstanding any such apportionment, the Company shall have
no further obligation or liability to Executive.
(c) Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, during each calendar year during the
Employment Period beginning with the year ending December 31, 2011, Executive will be eligible to
earn a target annual bonus of up to 100% of his Base Salary for such year, if and only if
Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries achieve the performance criteria specified by the Board or
the Compensation Committee (if there is one) for such year, as determined by the Board or such
Compensation Committee (if there is one) in its sole discretion. Schedule 3(c) sets forth
the performance criteria and relative weight of each for the calendar year (and only for the
calendar year) ending December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise agreed to by Executive, any such bonus
amount for any year shall be earned (if awarded) on the last day of such year and paid by the

(B) an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executives Base Salary as in

(iii) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental

and dental insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA

the period commencing on the date of such termination or expiration and ending on the date
on which the Severance Period expires.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment or
any payments pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) (and Executive shall forfeit all rights to such
payments) unless Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release
substantially in form and substance as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the General
Release), and such General Release remains in full force and effect, has not been revoked and
is no longer subject to revocation, within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment and such payments pursuant to Section
4(b)(iii) only so long as Executive has not breached any of the provisions of the General
Release or Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof (a Fundamental Breach). If
the General Release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in
the preceding sentence, then the following shall apply:
(A) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is not deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall commence
upon the first scheduled payment date immediately after the date the General Release
is executed and no longer subject to revocation (the Release Effective
Date). The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior to the Release Effective Date under the terms of
this Agreement applied as though such payments commenced immediately upon
Executives termination of employment, and any payments made after the Release
Effective Date shall continue as provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any
event expire at the time such payments or benefits would have expired had such
payments commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment.
(B) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall be made or
commence upon the sixtieth (60th) day following Executives termination of
employment. The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior thereto under the terms of this Agreement had
such payments commenced immediately upon Executives
- 4 -
termination of employment, and any payments made after the sixtieth (60th) day
following Executives termination of employment shall continue as provided herein.
The delayed payments shall in any event expire at the time such payments or benefits
would have expired had such payments commenced immediately following Executives
termination of employment.
Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed
on the Termination Date to be a specified employee within the meaning of that term under Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section
409A payable on account of a separation from service shall be made on the date which is the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such
separation from service of Executive and (ii) the date of Executives death (the Delay
Period) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay
Period, all payments delayed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (whether they otherwise
would have been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be
paid to Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid
or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. In addition, if
Executive is a specified employee, to the extent that welfare benefits to be provided to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement are not disability pay, death benefit plans or non-taxable
medical benefits within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) or other benefits
not considered nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of that regulation, such
provision of benefits shall be delayed until the end of the Delay Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the previous sentence applies to the provision of any ongoing health
or welfare benefits that would not be required to be delayed if the premiums were paid by
Executive, Executive shall pay the full cost of the premiums for such benefits during the Delay
Period and the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the amount of such premiums paid by
Executive during the Delay Period within ten (10) days after the end of Delay Period.
(c) Termination by Death or Disability. If the Employment Period is terminated due to
Executives death or becoming Disabled, then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall be
entitled to receive:
(i) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date (payable in accordance
with Section 3(a));
(ii) any bonus amounts under Section 3(c) to which Executive is entitled
determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination Date
(payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c));
(iii) the greater of (A) the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled
under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which the Termination Date
occurs, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the
performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for such year, whether or not
such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date, which amounts shall
be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the Termination
Date, and (B) if Executives bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in
which the Termination Date occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be
entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the
Termination Date, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the
- 5 -
Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives
bonus plan for such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of
the Termination Date, which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date (in either case, payable at the same time
it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c));
(iv) payment in respect of any unused paid time off and sick pay of Executive in such
amounts as have accrued as of the Termination Date in accordance with the Companys policies
with respect thereto as in effect during the Employment Period, and reimbursement of any
business expenses incurred by Executive but not reimbursed prior to the Termination Date in
accordance with and reimbursable under the terms of the Companys policies with respect
thereto as in effect on the Termination Date (in each case, payable in a lump sum within ten
(10) business days after the Termination Date); and
(v) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA for the
period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earliest of (A) the date on
which Executives COBRA period terminates or expires, (B) the date on which the Disability
Severance Period expires, and (C) the date on which benefits have commenced under the
Companys long-term disability program, if any (payable in monthly installments during and
concurrently with Executives COBRA period); provided that if Executives COBRA
period is terminated prior to expiration of the Disability Severance Period, then Executive
shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notice of such termination or expiration from Executive to the Board in an amount
equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental insurance for Executive
and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA (assuming such continued insurance
coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for the period commencing on the date
of such termination or expiration and ending on the date on which the Disability Severance
Period expires.
In addition, if the Employment Period is terminated due to Executives becoming Disabled (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, not due to his death), then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall
be entitled to receive, during the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the
earlier of (A) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for long-term disability benefits under
any long-term disability program sponsored by the Company, and (B) six (6) months after the
Termination Date (such period, the Disability Severance Period), continued installment
payments of Executives Base Salary as in effect on the Termination Date, which shall be payable
over the Disability Severance Period in regular installments in accordance with the Companys
general payroll practices as in effect on the Termination Date, but in no event less frequently
than monthly.
(d) No-Fault Termination. If the Employment Period is terminated in connection with a
No-Fault Termination, then (i) the Company shall pay Executive (A) Executives unpaid Base Salary
through the Termination Date (payable in accordance with Section 3(a)) and (B) any bonus
amount under Section 3(c) to which Executive is entitled determined by reference to the
calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination Date (payable at the same time it would
have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c)), and (ii) Section 7 shall terminate and
have no further force or effect; provided that such termination will not relieve Executive
of any liability for breach of Section 7 prior to such termination.
- 6 -
(e) Other Termination. If the Employment Period is terminated (i) by the Company for
Cause, or (ii) by Executives resignation without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay Executive
(A) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date (payable in accordance with
Section 3(a)) and (B) any bonus amount under Section 3(c) to which Executive is
entitled determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination
Date (payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c)).
(f) Interest. Without limiting the rights of Executive at law or in equity, if the
Company fails to make any payment required to be made hereunder on a timely basis, the Company will
pay interest on the amount thereof at an annualized rate of interest equal to the so-called
composite prime rate as quoted from time to time during the relevant period in The Wall
Street Journal. Such interest will be payable as it accrues on demand. Any change in such prime
rate will be effective on and as of the date of such change.
(g) No Other Benefits. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Executive shall
not be entitled to any other salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from Holdings or
the Subsidiaries from and after the Termination Date, and all of Executives rights to salary,
bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have accrued or become
payable from and after the Termination Date (other than vested retirement benefits accrued on or
prior to the Termination Date, accrued life and disability insurance benefits or other amounts
owing hereunder as of the Termination Date that have not yet been paid) shall cease upon the
Termination Date, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA).
(h) No Mitigation. Executive is under no obligation to mitigate damages or the amount
of any payment provided for under this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise.
(i) Right of Offset. The Company may offset any bona fide obligations that Executive
owes Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any
unliquidated obligations or obligations to the extent Executive disputes in good faith the nature
or amount thereof) against any amounts the Company or any of the Subsidiaries owes Executive
hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes
deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset, counterclaim or
recoupment by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.
(j) Section 409A Compliance.
(i) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply
with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated
thereunder (collectively Code Section 409A) and, accordingly, to the maximum
extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In no
event whatsoever shall Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax,
interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for
failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or
following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a separation from
service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any
- 7 -
such provision of this Agreement, references to a termination, termination of
employment, termination of the Employment Period or like terms shall mean separation
from service.
(iii) All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or
prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses
were incurred by Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable
income to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were
incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable
year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable
year.
(iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executives right to receive any installment
payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of
separate and distinct payments.
(v) Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference
to a number of days (e.g., payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days following
the Termination Date), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be
within the sole discretion of the Company.
5. Confidential Information.
(a) Protection of Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the continued
success of Holdings and the Subsidiaries depends upon the use and protection of a large body of
confidential and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information now
existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as
Confidential Information. Confidential Information will be interpreted broadly to
include, without limitation, all information that is (i) related to Holdings or the Subsidiaries
(including any of their predecessors prior to being acquired by the Company) current or potential

other information concerning patients (including, without limitation, all Protected Health
Information within the meaning of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and
(C) internal business information and intellectual property of every kind and description of
Holdings and the Subsidiaries). Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for five (5)
years thereafter, he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any
of such Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Executive, without the Boards prior
written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) was known to
Executive prior to the negotiation of this Agreement or the Employment Period from a source (other
than Holdings, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective agents) that, to the knowledge of
Executive, was not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary
obligation to Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, (ii) becomes
- 8 -
generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executives
acts or omissions to act or (iii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or
court order.
(b) Use of Others Confidential Information. During the Employment Period, Executive
shall not use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former
employers or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. If at any
time during his employment with the Company, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work
that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may
have to former employers, then Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executives
duties can be modified appropriately.
(c) Third-Party Information. Executive understands that Holdings and the Subsidiaries
will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (Third-Party
Information) subject to a duty on Holdings and the Subsidiaries part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the
Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section
5(a) above, Executive will hold Third-Party Information in the strictest confidence and will
not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Holdings or the Subsidiaries who need to know such
information in connection with their work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries) or use, except in
connection with his work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries, Third-Party Information unless expressly
authorized by the Board in writing.
6. Ownership of Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges
that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments,
methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications,
copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all
registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or
related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Holdings or the Subsidiaries
actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services

entities shall be deemed a work made for hire to the maximum extent permitted under copyright
laws, and Holdings or such Subsidiary shall own all rights therein. To the extent any such
copyrightable work is not a work made for hire, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to
Holdings or such Subsidiary all right, title and interest, including, without limitation,
copyright, in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product
to the Board and, at the Companys expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board
(whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership by Holdings
or such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, execution and delivery of assignments, consents,
powers of attorney and other instruments).
7. Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.
(a) Non-Compete. In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Executive
hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment with the Company he has
and shall become familiar with Holdings and the Subsidiaries trade secrets and with other
Confidential Information concerning Holdings and the Subsidiaries and that his services
- 9 -
have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Holdings and the
Subsidiaries, and, therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period
thereafter of twelve (12) months (the Noncompete Period), he shall not (i) directly or
indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for,
or in any manner engage in any business that derives at least 25% of its gross revenue from the
business of providing behavioral healthcare and/or related services or (ii) directly or indirectly
manage, control, participate in, consult with or render services specifically with respect to any
unit, division, segment or subsidiary of any other business that engages in or otherwise competes
with (or was organized for the purpose of engaging in or competing with) the business of providing
behavioral healthcare and/or related services (provided that, this clause (ii) shall not be
construed to prohibit Executive from directly or indirectly owning any interest in, managing,
controlling, participating in, consulting with, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging
in any business activities with or for such business generally and, for the avoidance of doubt, not
specifically with respect to such unit, division, segment or subsidiary), in each case, within any
geographical area in which Holdings and the Subsidiaries engage in such businesses;
provided that Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Section 7(a) if the Employment Period is terminated by the Company without Cause or by
Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in breach of its obligations under
Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good faith dispute between the Company
and Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the term participate in shall include, without
limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any Person, whether as a sole proprietor,
owner, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or rendering any direct or
indirect service or assistance to any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture and other
business entity (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, employee, agent, consultant
or otherwise). Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than
2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as
Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
(b) Non-Solicit. During the Employment Period and for a period thereafter of twelve
(12) months (the Nonsolicit Period), Executive shall not directly or indirectly through
another Person (other than on behalf of Holdings and the Subsidiaries) (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee or independent contractor of Holdings or the Subsidiaries to leave the employ
or services of Holdings or the Subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
Holdings and the Subsidiaries and any employee or independent contractor thereof, (ii) hire or seek
any business affiliation with any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Holdings
or the Subsidiaries at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date or
(iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business
relation of Holdings or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with Holdings or such Subsidiary or
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensor or other business
relation and Holdings or any Subsidiary; provided that Executive shall not be subject to
the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(b) if the Employment Period is terminated by
the Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in
breach of its obligations under Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good
faith dispute between the Company and Executive.
(c) Non-Disparagement. Without limiting any other obligation of Executive pursuant to
this Agreement, Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, except as may be required by applicable
law, Executive shall not make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any
other action in disparagement of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, during the Employment Period
and for a period of five (5) years thereafter (the Non-Disparagement Period).
- 10 -
Without limiting any other obligation of the Company and/or Holdings pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company and Holdings hereby covenant and agree that, except as may be required by
applicable law, the Company and Holdings shall cause their executive officers and members of their
boards of directors or boards of managers, as applicable, and each of Reeve B. Waud and Charles E.
Edwards not to make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any other
action in disparagement of Executive, during the Employment Period and the Non-Disparagement
Period.
(d) Blue-Pencil. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5 or 6 or
this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated
herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum
duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained
herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Executive hereby
acknowledges and represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding
his rights and obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity
to do so and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 are in consideration of Executives
employment with the Company and other good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 do not preclude Executive from earning
a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executives ability to earn a living.
In addition, Executive acknowledges (x) that the business of Holdings and the Subsidiaries will be
conducted throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, (y) notwithstanding the
state of organization or principal office of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries or facilities, or
any of their respective executives or employees (including Executive), it is expected that Holdings
and the Subsidiaries will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within
its industry throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, and (z) as part of
Executives responsibilities, Executive will be traveling throughout the United States and other
jurisdictions where Holdings and the Subsidiaries conduct business during the Employment Period in
furtherance of the Companys business relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
potential harm to Holdings and the Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of any provision of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 outweighs any potential harm to
Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has
carefully read this Agreement and either consulted with legal counsel of Executives choosing
regarding its contents or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so, has given
careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full
accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and
proprietary information of Holdings and the Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the
future. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this
Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, duration and geographical area.
(f) Specific Performance. In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7,
Holdings and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its
favor whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without
posting a bond or other security). In
- 11 -
addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive of this Section
7, the Noncompete Period, the Nonsolicit Period or the Non-Disparagement Period, as applicable,
shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.
8. Executives Representations. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the
Company that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive do not and
shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement,
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which he is bound, (b)
except as previously disclosed to the Company in writing (a copy of each such agreement having been

date hereof), Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete
agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity, (c) except as previously
disclosed to the Company in writing, Executive took nothing with him which belonged to any former
employer when Executive left his prior position and Executive has nothing that contains any
information which belongs to any former employer, in either case which would reasonably be likely
to result in any liability to Holdings or any Subsidiary, and (d) upon the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of
Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents
that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations
under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so and that he fully
understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

or any Subsidiary). In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (i)
the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by Executive promptly
after statements therefor are received, (ii) neither the Company, Holdings nor any Subsidiary shall

Company, Holdings or any Subsidiary.

proceeding (a Proceeding) is commenced or threatened by any party hereto (the
Claiming Party) to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party hereto
(the Defending Party), if the Defending Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding,

costs, incurred by the Defending Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Claiming
Party, and, if the Claiming Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding, all fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, incurred by the
Claiming Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Defending Party; provided that
if the Defending Party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court,
arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Claiming Party and the Defending Party on an equitable
basis. For purposes of this Section 26(b), and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Defending Party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding if the Claiming
Party commences or threatens such Proceeding and (i) the underlying claim(s) in such Proceeding are
subsequently dropped or dismissed, or (ii) the Defending Party defeats any such claim(s).

perform, upon Executives demand following a default by the Company, any and all obligations of the
Company from time to time owed to Executive under this Agreement, subject to any applicable cure
period. Holdings further agrees that if the Company shall fail to fulfill any of its obligations
under this Agreement, Holdings will perform the same on demand as a principal obligor, and not as a
surety. This is a continuing guarantee of the obligations and may not be revoked and shall not
otherwise terminate unless and until the obligations of the Company have been paid and performed in
full. Holdings represents and warrants that it will receive a substantial benefit from Companys
employment of Executive, which employment gives rise to the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. Holdings acknowledges that Executive would not execute this Agreement if it did not
- 18 -
receive this guarantee. The obligations of Holdings under this Section 27 will
terminate automatically upon a Sale of the LLC (as defined in the LLC Agreement).

I, Jack E. Polson, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Acadia Management
Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the
Company), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2011
(the Agreement), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the
Company and its affiliates and all present and former directors, officers, agents, representatives,
employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and the Companys direct and
indirect owners (collectively, the Released Parties) to the extent provided below.
1. I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Sections 4(b)(ii)
and 4(b)(iii) of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release
and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that
I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) of the
Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the
time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release.
2. Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement
which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and
voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever
discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies,
actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages,
liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys
fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through
the date I executed this General Release) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed
against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs,
executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my

Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress,
defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys fees incurred in
these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the Claims);
provided that, this General Release shall not apply to or affect or impair (i) Claims for
vested benefits pursuant to any Company employee benefit plan in which I was a participant prior to

subsidiaries and/or affiliates.
- 1 -
3. I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause
of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.
4. I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute
this General Release). I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company
is in compliance with the terms of the Agreement and company policy and shall not serve as the
basis for any Claim (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967).
5. I agree that I am waiving all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive
relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation,
reinstatement, back pay, front pay, attorneys fees and any form of injunctive relief.
Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to
waive any right that cannot be waived under applicable law, including the right to file an
administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided,
however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award
resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding.
6. In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a
bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned. I expressly consent that this
General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms
and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any
state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected
and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove
mentioned. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this
General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the
Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the
Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a
governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such
Claims to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
7. I represent that I am not aware of any pending charge or complaint of the type described in
paragraph 2 above as of the execution of this General Release. I represent that I am not aware of
any claim by me other than the claims that are released by this General Release. I acknowledge that
I may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or
believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above
and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have
materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it. Nevertheless, I hereby
waive any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or
additional claims or facts.
8. I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to Sections
4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) of the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General Release. I also
agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I
will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties,
including reasonable attorneys fees, and upon the Companys request return all payments
theretofore received by me pursuant to Sections 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) of the Agreement.
- 2 -
9. I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to
disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my
immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or
effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the
same to anyone.
10. Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or
my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and
circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.
11. Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release
shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach
by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.
12. Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General
Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or
rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision or its validity and enforceability in any other jurisdiction, but this General
Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Exhibit 10.9
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of January
31, 2011, by and between Acadia Management Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), and Brent Turner (Executive).
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment; Employment Period. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive
hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date on which Executives
employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof (the Employment Period).
The place of employment of Executive shall be the principal executive offices and corporate
headquarters of the Company and Holdings, which, during the Employment Period, shall be located in
Davidson County or Williamson County, Tennessee upon the relocation of such headquarters from
Atlanta, Georgia as soon as reasonably practical after the date hereof.
2. Position and Duties.
(a) Position; Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as
the Co-President of the Company and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities, functions and
authority of a Co-President, subject to the power and authority of the board of managers (the
Board) of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(Holdings), to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority
within the scope of duties, responsibilities, functions and authority associated with the position
of Co-President and to overrule actions of officers of the Company.
(b) Reporting; Performance of Duties. Executive shall report to the Board and devote
his full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods
of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Holdings and the Subsidiaries. So
long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent or approval of the Board, perform other services for compensation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving, with the prior written consent
of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in
the case of a non-corporate entity) of for-profit companies or businesses which are not directly
competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that the prior written consent of
the Board shall not be required for Executive to serve as a member of the boards of directors or
advisory boards (or their equivalents) of the companies listed on Schedule 2(b)), (ii)
engaging in charitable activities and community affairs (including serving as a member of the
boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity)
of not-for-profit, charitable or community organizations which are not directly competitive with
the Company or any Subsidiary); provided, however, the activities set out in
clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere,
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not provide any services to any company or business that is directly competitive with
Holdings or the Subsidiaries (whether for-profit or not-for-profit) without the prior written
consent of the Board.
3. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executives base salary shall be
$240,000 per annum, subject to increase by the Board in its sole discretion on an annual basis (as
adjusted from time to time, the Base Salary), which salary shall be payable by the
Company in regular installments in accordance with the Companys general payroll practices (as in
effect from time to time). The Base Salary for any partial year during the Employment Period will
be based upon the actual number of days elapsed in such year.
(b) Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse
Executive in the calendar year in which they are incurred for all reasonable out-of-pocket business
expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement which are consistent with the Companys policies in effect from time to time with respect
to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Companys requirements with
respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. The Company also will reimburse Executive
promptly following the date hereof (and in any event prior to December 31, 2011) for all reasonable
out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him prior to the date of this Agreement in connection
with Executives meetings with various principals of and investors in Holdings and the Subsidiaries
subject to the Companys requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses.
The Companys aggregate reimbursement obligations under the immediately preceding sentence, and the
corresponding provisions of the employment agreements entered into simultaneously herewith, shall
not exceed $10,000, and, to the extent that Executive submits expenses which, when aggregated with
the others, exceed $10,000, then Executive and such others shall determine among themselves the
apportionment of such $10,000, and, notwithstanding any such apportionment, the Company shall have
no further obligation or liability to Executive.
(c) Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, during each calendar year during the
Employment Period beginning with the year ending December 31, 2011, Executive will be eligible to
earn a target annual bonus of up to 100% of his Base Salary for such year, if and only if
Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries achieve the performance criteria specified by the Board or
the Compensation Committee (if there is one) for such year, as determined by the Board or such
Compensation Committee (if there is one) in its sole discretion. Schedule 3(c) sets forth
the performance criteria and relative weight of each for the calendar year (and only for the
calendar year) ending December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise agreed to by Executive, any such bonus
amount for any year shall be earned (if awarded) on the last day of such year and paid by the
Company no later than the earlier of (x) the date that is ten (10) business days after the
Companys receipt of its audited financial statements for the calendar year with respect to which
such bonus has been earned and (y) December 31 of the calendar year following such year with
respect to which such bonus has been earned.
(d) Benefits. In addition to (but without duplication of) the Base Salary and any
bonuses payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 3, Executive shall be entitled to
participate at his sole discretion in all of the Companys employee benefit programs for which
senior executive employees of the Company are generally eligible even though Executive may receive
certain health and welfare benefits through November 15, 2012 as a result of Executives service
with his prior employer.

reason (whether for Cause or without Cause and including in connection with a No-Fault

herein as the Termination Date.
(b) Termination without Cause or with Good Reason. If the Employment Period is

exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for
such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the
Termination Date, which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date); plus
- 3 -
(B) an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executives Base Salary as in
effect on the Termination Date (such 12-month period, the Severance
Period); and
(iii) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with the Consolidated
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) for the period commencing on the
Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which Executives COBRA period
terminates or expires and (B) the date on which the Severance Period expires (payable in
monthly installments during and concurrently with Executives COBRA period);
provided that if Executives COBRA period is terminated prior to expiration of the
Severance Period, then Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within
fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice of such termination or expiration from
Executive to the Board in an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health
and dental insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA
(assuming such continued insurance coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for
the period commencing on the date of such termination or expiration and ending on the date
on which the Severance Period expires.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment or
any payments pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) (and Executive shall forfeit all rights to such
payments) unless Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release
substantially in form and substance as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the General
Release), and such General Release remains in full force and effect, has not been revoked and
is no longer subject to revocation, within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment and such payments pursuant to Section
4(b)(iii) only so long as Executive has not breached any of the provisions of the General
Release or Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof (a Fundamental Breach). If
the General Release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in
the preceding sentence, then the following shall apply:
(A) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is not deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall commence
upon the first scheduled payment date immediately after the date the General Release
is executed and no longer subject to revocation (the Release Effective
Date). The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior to the Release Effective Date under the terms of
this Agreement applied as though such payments commenced immediately upon
Executives termination of employment, and any payments made after the Release
Effective Date shall continue as provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any
event expire at the time such payments or benefits would have expired had such
payments commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment.
(B) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall be made or
commence upon the sixtieth (60th) day following Executives termination of
employment. The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior thereto under the terms of this Agreement had
such payments commenced immediately upon Executives
- 4 -
termination of employment, and any payments made after the sixtieth (60th) day
following Executives termination of employment shall continue as provided herein.
The delayed payments shall in any event expire at the time such payments or benefits
would have expired had such payments commenced immediately following Executives
termination of employment.
Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed
on the Termination Date to be a specified employee within the meaning of that term under Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section
409A payable on account of a separation from service shall be made on the date which is the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such
separation from service of Executive and (ii) the date of Executives death (the Delay
Period) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay
Period, all payments delayed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (whether they otherwise
would have been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be
paid to Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid
or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. In addition, if
Executive is a specified employee, to the extent that welfare benefits to be provided to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement are not disability pay, death benefit plans or non-taxable
medical benefits within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) or other benefits
not considered nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of that regulation, such
provision of benefits shall be delayed until the end of the Delay Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the previous sentence applies to the provision of any ongoing health
or welfare benefits that would not be required to be delayed if the premiums were paid by
Executive, Executive shall pay the full cost of the premiums for such benefits during the Delay
Period and the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the amount of such premiums paid by
Executive during the Delay Period within ten (10) days after the end of Delay Period.
(c) Termination by Death or Disability. If the Employment Period is terminated due to
Executives death or becoming Disabled, then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall be
entitled to receive:
(i) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date (payable in accordance
with Section 3(a));
(ii) any bonus amounts under Section 3(c) to which Executive is entitled
determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination Date
(payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c));
(iii) the greater of (A) the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled
under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which the Termination Date
occurs, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the
performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for such year, whether or not
such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date, which amounts shall
be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the Termination
Date, and (B) if Executives bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in
which the Termination Date occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be
entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the
Termination Date, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the
- 5 -
Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives
bonus plan for such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of
the Termination Date, which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date (in either case, payable at the same time
it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c));
(iv) payment in respect of any unused paid time off and sick pay of Executive in such
amounts as have accrued as of the Termination Date in accordance with the Companys policies
with respect thereto as in effect during the Employment Period, and reimbursement of any
business expenses incurred by Executive but not reimbursed prior to the Termination Date in
accordance with and reimbursable under the terms of the Companys policies with respect
thereto as in effect on the Termination Date (in each case, payable in a lump sum within ten
(10) business days after the Termination Date); and
(v) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA for the
period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earliest of (A) the date on
which Executives COBRA period terminates or expires, (B) the date on which the Disability
Severance Period expires, and (C) the date on which benefits have commenced under the
Companys long-term disability program, if any (payable in monthly installments during and
concurrently with Executives COBRA period); provided that if Executives COBRA
period is terminated prior to expiration of the Disability Severance Period, then Executive
shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notice of such termination or expiration from Executive to the Board in an amount
equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental insurance for Executive
and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA (assuming such continued insurance
coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for the period commencing on the date
of such termination or expiration and ending on the date on which the Disability Severance
Period expires.
In addition, if the Employment Period is terminated due to Executives becoming Disabled (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, not due to his death), then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall
be entitled to receive, during the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the
earlier of (A) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for long-term disability benefits under
any long-term disability program sponsored by the Company, and (B) six (6) months after the
Termination Date (such period, the Disability Severance Period), continued installment
payments of Executives Base Salary as in effect on the Termination Date, which shall be payable
over the Disability Severance Period in regular installments in accordance with the Companys
general payroll practices as in effect on the Termination Date, but in no event less frequently
than monthly.

No-Fault Termination, then (i) the Company shall pay Executive (A) Executives unpaid Base Salary
through the Termination Date (payable in accordance with Section 3(a)) and (B) any bonus

calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination Date (payable at the same time it would
have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c)), and (ii) Section 7 shall terminate and
have no further force or effect; provided that such termination will not relieve Executive
of any liability for breach of Section 7 prior to such termination.
- 6 -
(e) Other Termination. If the Employment Period is terminated (i) by the Company for
Cause, or (ii) by Executives resignation without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay Executive
(A) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date (payable in accordance with
Section 3(a)) and (B) any bonus amount under Section 3(c) to which Executive is
entitled determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination
Date (payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c)).
(f) Interest. Without limiting the rights of Executive at law or in equity, if the
Company fails to make any payment required to be made hereunder on a timely basis, the Company will
pay interest on the amount thereof at an annualized rate of interest equal to the so-called
composite prime rate as quoted from time to time during the relevant period in The Wall
Street Journal. Such interest will be payable as it accrues on demand. Any change in such prime
rate will be effective on and as of the date of such change.
(g) No Other Benefits. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Executive shall
not be entitled to any other salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from Holdings or
the Subsidiaries from and after the Termination Date, and all of Executives rights to salary,
bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have accrued or become
payable from and after the Termination Date (other than vested retirement benefits accrued on or
prior to the Termination Date, accrued life and disability insurance benefits or other amounts
owing hereunder as of the Termination Date that have not yet been paid) shall cease upon the
Termination Date, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA).
(h) No Mitigation. Executive is under no obligation to mitigate damages or the amount
of any payment provided for under this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise.
(i) Right of Offset. The Company may offset any bona fide obligations that Executive
owes Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any
unliquidated obligations or obligations to the extent Executive disputes in good faith the nature
or amount thereof) against any amounts the Company or any of the Subsidiaries owes Executive
hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes
deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset, counterclaim or
recoupment by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.
(j) Section 409A Compliance.
(i) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply
with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated
thereunder (collectively Code Section 409A) and, accordingly, to the maximum
extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In no
event whatsoever shall Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax,
interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for
failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or
following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a separation from
service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any
- 7 -
such provision of this Agreement, references to a termination, termination of
employment, termination of the Employment Period or like terms shall mean separation
from service.
(iii) All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or
prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses
were incurred by Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable
income to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were
incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable
year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable
year.
(iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executives right to receive any installment
payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of
separate and distinct payments.
(v) Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference
to a number of days (e.g., payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days following
the Termination Date), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be
within the sole discretion of the Company.
5. Confidential Information.
(a) Protection of Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the continued
success of Holdings and the Subsidiaries depends upon the use and protection of a large body of
confidential and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information now
existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as
Confidential Information. Confidential Information will be interpreted broadly to
include, without limitation, all information that is (i) related to Holdings or the Subsidiaries
(including any of their predecessors prior to being acquired by the Company) current or potential

information, observations and data concerning (A) acquisition opportunities in or reasonably
related to Holdings or the Subsidiaries business or industry, (B) identities and requirements of,
contractual arrangements with and other information regarding Holdings or the Subsidiaries
employees (including personnel files and other information), suppliers, distributors, customers,
independent contractors, third-party payors, providers or other business relations and their
confidential information, including, without limitation, patient records, medical histories and
other information concerning patients (including, without limitation, all Protected Health
Information within the meaning of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and
(C) internal business information and intellectual property of every kind and description of
Holdings and the Subsidiaries). Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for five (5)
years thereafter, he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any
of such Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Executive, without the Boards prior
written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) was known to
Executive prior to the negotiation of this Agreement or the Employment Period from a source (other
than Holdings, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective agents) that, to the knowledge of
Executive, was not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary
obligation to Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, (ii) becomes
- 8 -
generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executives
acts or omissions to act or (iii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or
court order.
(b) Use of Others Confidential Information. During the Employment Period, Executive
shall not use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former
employers or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. If at any
time during his employment with the Company, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work
that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may
have to former employers, then Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executives
duties can be modified appropriately.
(c) Third-Party Information. Executive understands that Holdings and the Subsidiaries
will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (Third-Party
Information) subject to a duty on Holdings and the Subsidiaries part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the
Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section
5(a) above, Executive will hold Third-Party Information in the strictest confidence and will
not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Holdings or the Subsidiaries who need to know such
information in connection with their work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries) or use, except in
connection with his work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries, Third-Party Information unless expressly
authorized by the Board in writing.
6. Ownership of Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges
that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments,
methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications,
copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all
registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or
related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Holdings or the Subsidiaries
actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services
and which are conceived, developed, contributed to, made or reduced to practice by Executive
(whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by Holdings or the Subsidiaries after the
date of this Agreement, including any of the foregoing that constitutes any proprietary information
or records (Work Product), belong to Holdings or such Subsidiary. Any copyrightable work
prepared in whole or in part by Executive in the course of his work for any of the foregoing
entities shall be deemed a work made for hire to the maximum extent permitted under copyright
laws, and Holdings or such Subsidiary shall own all rights therein. To the extent any such
copyrightable work is not a work made for hire, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to
Holdings or such Subsidiary all right, title and interest, including, without limitation,
copyright, in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product
to the Board and, at the Companys expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board
(whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership by Holdings
or such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, execution and delivery of assignments, consents,
powers of attorney and other instruments).
7. Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.
(a) Non-Compete. In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Executive
hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment with the Company he has
and shall become familiar with Holdings and the Subsidiaries trade secrets and with other
Confidential Information concerning Holdings and the Subsidiaries and that his services
- 9 -
have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Holdings and the
Subsidiaries, and, therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period
thereafter of twelve (12) months (the Noncompete Period), he shall not (i) directly or
indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for,
or in any manner engage in any business that derives at least 25% of its gross revenue from the
business of providing behavioral healthcare and/or related services or (ii) directly or indirectly
manage, control, participate in, consult with or render services specifically with respect to any
unit, division, segment or subsidiary of any other business that engages in or otherwise competes
with (or was organized for the purpose of engaging in or competing with) the business of providing
behavioral healthcare and/or related services (provided that, this clause (ii) shall not be
construed to prohibit Executive from directly or indirectly owning any interest in, managing,
controlling, participating in, consulting with, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging
in any business activities with or for such business generally and, for the avoidance of doubt, not
specifically with respect to such unit, division, segment or subsidiary), in each case, within any
geographical area in which Holdings and the Subsidiaries engage in such businesses;
provided that Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Section 7(a) if the Employment Period is terminated by the Company without Cause or by
Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in breach of its obligations under
Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good faith dispute between the Company
and Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the term participate in shall include, without
limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any Person, whether as a sole proprietor,
owner, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or rendering any direct or
indirect service or assistance to any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture and other
business entity (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, employee, agent, consultant
or otherwise). Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than
2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as
Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
(b) Non-Solicit. During the Employment Period and for a period thereafter of twelve
(12) months (the Nonsolicit Period), Executive shall not directly or indirectly through
another Person (other than on behalf of Holdings and the Subsidiaries) (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee or independent contractor of Holdings or the Subsidiaries to leave the employ
or services of Holdings or the Subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
Holdings and the Subsidiaries and any employee or independent contractor thereof, (ii) hire or seek
any business affiliation with any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Holdings
or the Subsidiaries at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date or
(iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business
relation of Holdings or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with Holdings or such Subsidiary or
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensor or other business
relation and Holdings or any Subsidiary; provided that Executive shall not be subject to
the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(b) if the Employment Period is terminated by
the Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in
breach of its obligations under Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good
faith dispute between the Company and Executive.
(c) Non-Disparagement. Without limiting any other obligation of Executive pursuant to
this Agreement, Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, except as may be required by applicable
law, Executive shall not make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any
other action in disparagement of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, during the Employment Period
and for a period of five (5) years thereafter (the Non-Disparagement Period).
- 10 -
Without limiting any other obligation of the Company and/or Holdings pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company and Holdings hereby covenant and agree that, except as may be required by
applicable law, the Company and Holdings shall cause their executive officers and members of their
boards of directors or boards of managers, as applicable, and each of Reeve B. Waud and Charles E.
Edwards not to make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any other
action in disparagement of Executive, during the Employment Period and the Non-Disparagement
Period.
(d) Blue-Pencil. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5 or 6 or
this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated
herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum
duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained
herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Executive hereby
acknowledges and represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding
his rights and obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity
to do so and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 are in consideration of Executives
employment with the Company and other good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 do not preclude Executive from earning
a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executives ability to earn a living.
In addition, Executive acknowledges (x) that the business of Holdings and the Subsidiaries will be
conducted throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, (y) notwithstanding the
state of organization or principal office of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries or facilities, or
any of their respective executives or employees (including Executive), it is expected that Holdings
and the Subsidiaries will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within
its industry throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, and (z) as part of
Executives responsibilities, Executive will be traveling throughout the United States and other
jurisdictions where Holdings and the Subsidiaries conduct business during the Employment Period in
furtherance of the Companys business relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
potential harm to Holdings and the Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of any provision of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 outweighs any potential harm to
Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has
carefully read this Agreement and either consulted with legal counsel of Executives choosing
regarding its contents or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so, has given
careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full
accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and
proprietary information of Holdings and the Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the
future. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this
Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, duration and geographical area.
(f) Specific Performance. In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7,
Holdings and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its
favor whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without
posting a bond or other security). In
- 11 -
addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive of this Section
7, the Noncompete Period, the Nonsolicit Period or the Non-Disparagement Period, as applicable,
shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.
8. Executives Representations. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the
Company that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive do not and
shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement,
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which he is bound, (b)
except as previously disclosed to the Company in writing (a copy of each such agreement having been

employer when Executive left his prior position and Executive has nothing that contains any
information which belongs to any former employer, in either case which would reasonably be likely
to result in any liability to Holdings or any Subsidiary, and (d) upon the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of
Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents

proceeding (a Proceeding) is commenced or threatened by any party hereto (the
Claiming Party) to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party hereto
(the Defending Party), if the Defending Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding,
all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs, incurred by the Defending Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Claiming
Party, and, if the Claiming Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding, all fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, incurred by the
Claiming Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Defending Party; provided that
if the Defending Party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court,
arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Claiming Party and the Defending Party on an equitable
basis. For purposes of this Section 26(b), and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Defending Party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding if the Claiming
Party commences or threatens such Proceeding and (i) the underlying claim(s) in such Proceeding are

perform, upon Executives demand following a default by the Company, any and all obligations of the
Company from time to time owed to Executive under this Agreement, subject to any applicable cure
period. Holdings further agrees that if the Company shall fail to fulfill any of its obligations
under this Agreement, Holdings will perform the same on demand as a principal obligor, and not as a
surety. This is a continuing guarantee of the obligations and may not be revoked and shall not
otherwise terminate unless and until the obligations of the Company have been paid and performed in
full. Holdings represents and warrants that it will receive a substantial benefit from Companys
employment of Executive, which employment gives rise to the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. Holdings acknowledges that Executive would not execute this Agreement if it did not
- 18 -
receive this guarantee. The obligations of Holdings under this Section 27 will
terminate automatically upon a Sale of the LLC (as defined in the LLC Agreement).

Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a
governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such
Claims to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Exhibit
10.10
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of January
31, 2011, by and between Acadia Management Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), and Christopher L. Howard (Executive).
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment; Employment Period. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive
hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date on which Executives
employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof (the Employment Period).
The place of employment of Executive shall be the principal executive offices and corporate
headquarters of the Company and Holdings, which, during the Employment Period, shall be located in
Davidson County or Williamson County, Tennessee upon the relocation of such headquarters from
Atlanta, Georgia as soon as reasonably practical after the date hereof.
2. Position and Duties.
(a) Position; Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as
the Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company and shall have the normal duties,
responsibilities, functions and authority of an Executive Vice President and General Counsel,
subject to the power and authority of the board of managers (the Board) of Acadia
Healthcare Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Holdings), to expand or
limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority within the scope of duties,
responsibilities, functions and authority associated with the position of Executive Vice President
and General Counsel and to overrule actions of officers of the Company.
(b) Reporting; Performance of Duties. Executive shall report to the Board and devote
his full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods
of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Holdings and the Subsidiaries. So
long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent or approval of the Board, perform other services for compensation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving, with the prior written consent
of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in
the case of a non-corporate entity) of for-profit companies or businesses which are not directly
competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that the prior written consent of
the Board shall not be required for Executive to serve as a member of the boards of directors or
advisory boards (or their equivalents) of the companies listed on Schedule 2(b)), (ii)
engaging in charitable activities and community affairs (including serving as a member of the
boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity)
of not-for-profit, charitable or community organizations which are not directly competitive with
the Company or any Subsidiary); provided, however, the activities set out in
clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere,
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not provide any services to any company or business that is directly
competitive with Holdings or the Subsidiaries (whether for-profit or not-for-profit) without
the prior written consent of the Board.
3. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executives base salary shall be
$240,000 per annum, subject to increase by the Board in its sole discretion on an annual basis (as
adjusted from time to time, the Base Salary), which salary shall be payable by the
Company in regular installments in accordance with the Companys general payroll practices (as in
effect from time to time). The Base Salary for any partial year during the Employment Period will
be based upon the actual number of days elapsed in such year.
(b) Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse
Executive in the calendar year in which they are incurred for all reasonable out-of-pocket business
expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement which are consistent with the Companys policies in effect from time to time with respect
to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Companys requirements with
respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. The Company also will reimburse Executive
promptly following the date hereof (and in any event prior to December 31, 2011) for all reasonable
out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him prior to the date of this Agreement in connection
with Executives meetings with various principals of and investors in Holdings and the Subsidiaries
subject to the Companys requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses.
The Companys aggregate reimbursement obligations under the immediately preceding sentence, and the
corresponding provisions of the employment agreements entered into simultaneously herewith, shall
not exceed $10,000, and, to the extent that Executive submits expenses which, when aggregated with
the others, exceed $10,000, then Executive and such others shall determine among themselves the
apportionment of such $10,000, and, notwithstanding any such apportionment, the Company shall have
no further obligation or liability to Executive.
(c) Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, during each calendar year during the
Employment Period beginning with the year ending December 31, 2011, Executive will be eligible to
earn a target annual bonus of up to 100% of his Base Salary for such year, if and only if
Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries achieve the performance criteria specified by the Board or
the Compensation Committee (if there is one) for such year, as determined by the Board or such
Compensation Committee (if there is one) in its sole discretion. Schedule 3(c) sets forth
the performance criteria and relative weight of each for the calendar year (and only for the
calendar year) ending December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise agreed to by Executive, any such bonus
amount for any year shall be earned (if awarded) on the last day of such year and paid by the
Company no later than the earlier of (x) the date that is ten (10) business days after the
Companys receipt of its audited financial statements for the calendar year with respect to which
such bonus has been earned and (y) December 31 of the calendar year following such year with
respect to which such bonus has been earned.
(d) Benefits. In addition to (but without duplication of) the Base Salary and any
bonuses payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 3, Executive shall be entitled to
participate at his sole discretion in all of the Companys employee benefit programs for which
senior executive employees of the Company are generally eligible even though Executive may receive
certain health and welfare benefits through November 15, 2012 as a result of Executives service
with his prior employer.

4. Termination.
(a) Termination. The Employment Period shall terminate automatically and immediately
upon Executives resignation for any reason (whether with Good Reason or without Good Reason and
including in connection with a No-Fault Termination), Executives death or becoming Disabled, or
upon the termination of Executives employment by the Company (through action by the Board) for any
reason (whether for Cause or without Cause and including in connection with a No-Fault
Termination). The date on which Executive ceases to be employed by the Company is referred to
herein as the Termination Date.
(b) Termination without Cause or with Good Reason. If the Employment Period is
terminated by the Company without Cause (other than in connection with a No-Fault Termination) or
by Executive with Good Reason, then Executive shall be entitled to receive:
(i) a lump sum payment within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Termination Date in
an amount equal to the sum of:
(A) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date; plus
(B) any bonus amounts under Section 3(c) to which Executive is entitled
determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the
Termination Date; plus
(C) any unused paid time off and sick pay of Executive in such amounts as have
accrued as of the Termination Date in accordance with the Companys policies with
respect thereto as in effect during the Employment Period, and the amount of any
business expenses incurred by Executive but not reimbursed prior to the Termination
Date in accordance with and reimbursable under the terms of the Companys policies
with respect thereto as in effect on the Termination Date; and
(ii) a lump sum payment (the Severance Payment) within fifteen (15) calendar
days after the Release Effective Date in an amount equal to the sum of:
(A) the greater of (A) the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be
entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which the
Termination Date occurs, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries
have exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan
for such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the
Termination Date, which amounts shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date, and (B) if Executives bonus
plan has not been determined for the calendar year in which the Termination Date
occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled under
Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the
Termination Date, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have
exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for
such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the
Termination Date, which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date); plus
- 3 -
(B) an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executives Base Salary as in
effect on the Termination Date (such 12-month period, the Severance
Period); and
(iii) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with the Consolidated
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) for the period commencing on the
Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which Executives COBRA period
terminates or expires and (B) the date on which the Severance Period expires (payable in
monthly installments during and concurrently with Executives COBRA period);
provided that if Executives COBRA period is terminated prior to expiration of the
Severance Period, then Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within
fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice of such termination or expiration from
Executive to the Board in an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health
and dental insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA
(assuming such continued insurance coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for
the period commencing on the date of such termination or expiration and ending on the date
on which the Severance Period expires.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment or
any payments pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) (and Executive shall forfeit all rights to such
payments) unless Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release
substantially in form and substance as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the General
Release), and such General Release remains in full force and effect, has not been revoked and
is no longer subject to revocation, within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment and such payments pursuant to Section
4(b)(iii) only so long as Executive has not breached any of the provisions of the General
Release or Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof (a Fundamental Breach). If
the General Release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in
the preceding sentence, then the following shall apply:
(A) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is not deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall commence
upon the first scheduled payment date immediately after the date the General Release
is executed and no longer subject to revocation (the Release Effective
Date). The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior to the Release Effective Date under the terms of
this Agreement applied as though such payments commenced immediately upon
Executives termination of employment, and any payments made after the Release
Effective Date shall continue as provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any
event expire at the time such payments or benefits would have expired had such
payments commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment.
(B) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall be made or
commence upon the sixtieth (60th) day following Executives termination of
employment. The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior thereto under the terms of this Agreement had
such payments commenced immediately upon Executives
- 4 -
termination of employment, and any payments made after the sixtieth (60th) day
following Executives termination of employment shall continue as provided herein.
The delayed payments shall in any event expire at the time such payments or benefits
would have expired had such payments commenced immediately following Executives
termination of employment.
Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed
on the Termination Date to be a specified employee within the meaning of that term under Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section
409A payable on account of a separation from service shall be made on the date which is the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such
separation from service of Executive and (ii) the date of Executives death (the Delay
Period) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay
Period, all payments delayed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (whether they otherwise
would have been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be
paid to Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid
or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. In addition, if
Executive is a specified employee, to the extent that welfare benefits to be provided to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement are not disability pay, death benefit plans or non-taxable
medical benefits within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) or other benefits
not considered nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of that regulation, such
provision of benefits shall be delayed until the end of the Delay Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the previous sentence applies to the provision of any ongoing health
or welfare benefits that would not be required to be delayed if the premiums were paid by
Executive, Executive shall pay the full cost of the premiums for such benefits during the Delay
Period and the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the amount of such premiums paid by
Executive during the Delay Period within ten (10) days after the end of Delay Period.
(c) Termination by Death or Disability. If the Employment Period is terminated due to
Executives death or becoming Disabled, then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall be
entitled to receive:
(i) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date (payable in accordance
with Section 3(a));
(ii) any bonus amounts under Section 3(c) to which Executive is entitled
determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination Date
(payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c));
(iii) the greater of (A) the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled
under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which the Termination Date
occurs, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the
performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for such year, whether or not
such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date, which amounts shall
be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the Termination
Date, and (B) if Executives bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in
which the Termination Date occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be
entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the
Termination Date, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the
- 5 -
Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives
bonus plan for such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of
the Termination Date, which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date (in either case, payable at the same time
it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c));
(iv) payment in respect of any unused paid time off and sick pay of Executive in such
amounts as have accrued as of the Termination Date in accordance with the Companys policies
with respect thereto as in effect during the Employment Period, and reimbursement of any
business expenses incurred by Executive but not reimbursed prior to the Termination Date in
accordance with and reimbursable under the terms of the Companys policies with respect
thereto as in effect on the Termination Date (in each case, payable in a lump sum within ten
(10) business days after the Termination Date); and
(v) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA for the
period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earliest of (A) the date on
which Executives COBRA period terminates or expires, (B) the date on which the Disability
Severance Period expires, and (C) the date on which benefits have commenced under the
Companys long-term disability program, if any (payable in monthly installments during and
concurrently with Executives COBRA period); provided that if Executives COBRA
period is terminated prior to expiration of the Disability Severance Period, then Executive
shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notice of such termination or expiration from Executive to the Board in an amount
equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental insurance for Executive
and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA (assuming such continued insurance
coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for the period commencing on the date
of such termination or expiration and ending on the date on which the Disability Severance
Period expires.
In addition, if the Employment Period is terminated due to Executives becoming Disabled (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, not due to his death), then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall
be entitled to receive, during the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the
earlier of (A) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for long-term disability benefits under
any long-term disability program sponsored by the Company, and (B) six (6) months after the
Termination Date (such period, the Disability Severance Period), continued installment
payments of Executives Base Salary as in effect on the Termination Date, which shall be payable
over the Disability Severance Period in regular installments in accordance with the Companys
general payroll practices as in effect on the Termination Date, but in no event less frequently
than monthly.
(d) No-Fault Termination. If the Employment Period is terminated in connection with a
No-Fault Termination, then (i) the Company shall pay Executive (A) Executives unpaid Base Salary
through the Termination Date (payable in accordance with Section 3(a)) and (B) any bonus
amount under Section 3(c) to which Executive is entitled determined by reference to the
calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination Date (payable at the same time it would
have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c)), and (ii) Section 7 shall terminate and
have no further force or effect; provided that such termination will not relieve Executive
of any liability for breach of Section 7 prior to such termination.
- 6 -
(e) Other Termination. If the Employment Period is terminated (i) by the Company for
Cause, or (ii) by Executives resignation without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay Executive
(A) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date (payable in accordance with
Section 3(a)) and (B) any bonus amount under Section 3(c) to which Executive is
entitled determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination
Date (payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c)).
(f) Interest. Without limiting the rights of Executive at law or in equity, if the
Company fails to make any payment required to be made hereunder on a timely basis, the Company will
pay interest on the amount thereof at an annualized rate of interest equal to the so-called
composite prime rate as quoted from time to time during the relevant period in The Wall
Street Journal. Such interest will be payable as it accrues on demand. Any change in such prime
rate will be effective on and as of the date of such change.
(g) No Other Benefits. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Executive shall
not be entitled to any other salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from Holdings or
the Subsidiaries from and after the Termination Date, and all of Executives rights to salary,
bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have accrued or become
payable from and after the Termination Date (other than vested retirement benefits accrued on or
prior to the Termination Date, accrued life and disability insurance benefits or other amounts
owing hereunder as of the Termination Date that have not yet been paid) shall cease upon the
Termination Date, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA).
(h) No Mitigation. Executive is under no obligation to mitigate damages or the amount
of any payment provided for under this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise.
(i) Right of Offset. The Company may offset any bona fide obligations that Executive
owes Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any
unliquidated obligations or obligations to the extent Executive disputes in good faith the nature
or amount thereof) against any amounts the Company or any of the Subsidiaries owes Executive
hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes
deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset, counterclaim or
recoupment by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.
(j) Section 409A Compliance.
(i) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply
with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated
thereunder (collectively Code Section 409A) and, accordingly, to the maximum
extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In no
event whatsoever shall Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax,
interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for
failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or
following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a separation from
service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any
- 7 -
such provision of this Agreement, references to a termination, termination of
employment, termination of the Employment Period or like terms shall mean separation
from service.
(iii) All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or
prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses
were incurred by Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable
income to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were
incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable
year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable
year.
(iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executives right to receive any installment
payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of
separate and distinct payments.
(v) Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference
to a number of days (e.g., payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days following
the Termination Date), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be
within the sole discretion of the Company.
5. Confidential Information.
(a) Protection of Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the continued
success of Holdings and the Subsidiaries depends upon the use and protection of a large body of
confidential and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information now
existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as
Confidential Information. Confidential Information will be interpreted broadly to
include, without limitation, all information that is (i) related to Holdings or the Subsidiaries
(including any of their predecessors prior to being acquired by the Company) current or potential
business and (ii) is not generally or publicly known (including, without specific limitation, the
information, observations and data concerning (A) acquisition opportunities in or reasonably
related to Holdings or the Subsidiaries business or industry, (B) identities and requirements of,
contractual arrangements with and other information regarding Holdings or the Subsidiaries
employees (including personnel files and other information), suppliers, distributors, customers,
independent contractors, third-party payors, providers or other business relations and their
confidential information, including, without limitation, patient records, medical histories and
other information concerning patients (including, without limitation, all Protected Health
Information within the meaning of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and
(C) internal business information and intellectual property of every kind and description of
Holdings and the Subsidiaries). Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for five (5)
years thereafter, he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any
of such Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Executive, without the Boards prior
written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) was known to
Executive prior to the negotiation of this Agreement or the Employment Period from a source (other
than Holdings, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective agents) that, to the knowledge of
Executive, was not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary

duties can be modified appropriately.

5(a) above, Executive will hold Third-Party Information in the strictest confidence and will
not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Holdings or the Subsidiaries who need to know such

authorized by the Board in writing.

registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or
related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Holdings or the Subsidiaries
actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services

copyrightable work is not a work made for hire, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to
Holdings or such Subsidiary all right, title and interest, including, without limitation,
copyright, in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product
to the Board and, at the Companys expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board

powers of attorney and other instruments).

Confidential Information concerning Holdings and the Subsidiaries and that his services
- 9 -
have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Holdings and the
Subsidiaries, and, therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period
thereafter of twelve (12) months (the Noncompete Period), he shall not (i) directly or
indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for,
or in any manner engage in any business that derives at least 25% of its gross revenue from the

manage, control, participate in, consult with or render services specifically with respect to any
unit, division, segment or subsidiary of any other business that engages in or otherwise competes
with (or was organized for the purpose of engaging in or competing with) the business of providing
behavioral healthcare and/or related services (provided that, this clause (ii) shall not be
construed to prohibit Executive from directly or indirectly owning any interest in, managing,
controlling, participating in, consulting with, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging
in any business activities with or for such business generally and, for the avoidance of doubt, not
specifically with respect to such unit, division, segment or subsidiary), in each case, within any
geographical area in which Holdings and the Subsidiaries engage in such businesses;
provided that Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Section 7(a) if the Employment Period is terminated by the Company without Cause or by

Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good faith dispute between the Company
and Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the term participate in shall include, without

or otherwise). Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than
2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as
Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
(b) Non-Solicit. During the Employment Period and for a period thereafter of twelve
(12) months (the Nonsolicit Period), Executive shall not directly or indirectly through
another Person (other than on behalf of Holdings and the Subsidiaries) (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee or independent contractor of Holdings or the Subsidiaries to leave the employ
or services of Holdings or the Subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
Holdings and the Subsidiaries and any employee or independent contractor thereof, (ii) hire or seek
any business affiliation with any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Holdings
or the Subsidiaries at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date or

relation of Holdings or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with Holdings or such Subsidiary or
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensor or other business
relation and Holdings or any Subsidiary; provided that Executive shall not be subject to
the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(b) if the Employment Period is terminated by

faith dispute between the Company and Executive.
(c) Non-Disparagement. Without limiting any other obligation of Executive pursuant to
this Agreement, Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, except as may be required by applicable
law, Executive shall not make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any
other action in disparagement of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, during the Employment Period
and for a period of five (5) years thereafter (the Non-Disparagement Period).
- 10 -
Without limiting any other obligation of the Company and/or Holdings pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company and Holdings hereby covenant and agree that, except as may be required by
applicable law, the Company and Holdings shall cause their executive officers and members of their
boards of directors or boards of managers, as applicable, and each of Reeve B. Waud and Charles E.
Edwards not to make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any other
action in disparagement of Executive, during the Employment Period and the Non-Disparagement
Period.
(d) Blue-Pencil. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5 or 6 or
this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated
herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum
duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained
herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Executive hereby
acknowledges and represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding
his rights and obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity
to do so and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 are in consideration of Executives
employment with the Company and other good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 do not preclude Executive from earning
a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executives ability to earn a living.
In addition, Executive acknowledges (x) that the business of Holdings and the Subsidiaries will be
conducted throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, (y) notwithstanding the
state of organization or principal office of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries or facilities, or
any of their respective executives or employees (including Executive), it is expected that Holdings
and the Subsidiaries will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within
its industry throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, and (z) as part of
Executives responsibilities, Executive will be traveling throughout the United States and other
jurisdictions where Holdings and the Subsidiaries conduct business during the Employment Period in
furtherance of the Companys business relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
potential harm to Holdings and the Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of any provision of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 outweighs any potential harm to
Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has
carefully read this Agreement and either consulted with legal counsel of Executives choosing
regarding its contents or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so, has given
careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full
accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and
proprietary information of Holdings and the Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the
future. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this
Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, duration and geographical area.
(f) Specific Performance. In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7,
Holdings and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its
favor whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without
posting a bond or other security). In
- 11 -
addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive of this Section
7, the Noncompete Period, the Nonsolicit Period or the Non-Disparagement Period, as applicable,
shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of
Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents

under this Agreement, Holdings will perform the same on demand as a principal obligor, and not as a
surety. This is a continuing guarantee of the obligations and may not be revoked and shall not
otherwise terminate unless and until the obligations of the Company have been paid and performed in

I, Christopher L. Howard, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Acadia
Management Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates,
the Company), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of January 31,

1. I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Sections 4(b)(ii)
and 4(b)(iii) of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release
and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that
I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) of the

which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and
voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever
discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies,

3. I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause
of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.
4. I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute
this General Release). I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company
is in compliance with the terms of the Agreement and company policy and shall not serve as the
basis for any Claim (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967).
5. I agree that I am waiving all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive
relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation,
reinstatement, back pay, front pay, attorneys fees and any form of injunctive relief.
Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to
waive any right that cannot be waived under applicable law, including the right to file an

and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any
state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected
and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove
mentioned. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this
General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the
Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the
Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a
governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such
Claims to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I

theretofore received by me pursuant to Sections 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) of the Agreement.

9. I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to
disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my
immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or
effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the
same to anyone.
10. Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or
my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and
circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.
11. Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release
shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach
by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General
Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or
rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability shall not affect any

Exhibit 10.11
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of January
31, 2011, by and between Acadia Management Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), and Ronald M. Fincher (Executive).
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment; Employment Period. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive
hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date on which Executives
employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof (the Employment Period).
The place of employment of Executive shall be the principal executive offices and corporate
headquarters of the Company and Holdings, which, during the Employment Period, shall be located in
Davidson County or Williamson County, Tennessee upon the relocation of such headquarters from
Atlanta, Georgia as soon as reasonably practical after the date hereof.
2. Position and Duties.
(a) Position; Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as
the Chief Operating Officer of the Company and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities,
functions and authority of a Chief Operating Officer, subject to the power and authority of the
board of managers (the Board) of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (Holdings), to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions
and authority within the scope of duties, responsibilities, functions and authority associated with
the position of Chief Operating Officer and to overrule actions of officers of the Company.
(b) Reporting; Performance of Duties. Executive shall report to the Board and devote
his full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods
of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Holdings and the Subsidiaries. So
long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent or approval of the Board, perform other services for compensation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving, with the prior written consent
of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in
the case of a non-corporate entity) of for-profit companies or businesses which are not directly
competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that the prior written consent of
the Board shall not be required for Executive to serve as a member of the boards of directors or
advisory boards (or their equivalents) of the companies listed on Schedule 2(b)), (ii)
engaging in charitable activities and community affairs (including serving as a member of the
boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity)
of not-for-profit, charitable or community organizations which are not directly competitive with
the Company or any Subsidiary); provided, however, the activities set out in
clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere,
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not provide any services to any company or business that is directly competitive with
Holdings or the Subsidiaries (whether for-profit or not-for-profit) without the prior written
consent of the Board.
3. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executives base salary shall be
$240,000 per annum, subject to increase by the Board in its sole discretion on an annual basis (as
adjusted from time to time, the Base Salary), which salary shall be payable by the
Company in regular installments in accordance with the Companys general payroll practices (as in
effect from time to time). The Base Salary for any partial year during the Employment Period will
be based upon the actual number of days elapsed in such year.
(b) Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse
Executive in the calendar year in which they are incurred for all reasonable out-of-pocket business
expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement which are consistent with the Companys policies in effect from time to time with respect
to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Companys requirements with
respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. The Company also will reimburse Executive
promptly following the date hereof (and in any event prior to December 31, 2011) for all reasonable
out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him prior to the date of this Agreement in connection
with Executives meetings with various principals of and investors in Holdings and the Subsidiaries
subject to the Companys requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses.
The Companys aggregate reimbursement obligations under the immediately preceding sentence, and the
corresponding provisions of the employment agreements entered into simultaneously herewith, shall
not exceed $10,000, and, to the extent that Executive submits expenses which, when aggregated with
the others, exceed $10,000, then Executive and such others shall determine among themselves the
apportionment of such $10,000, and, notwithstanding any such apportionment, the Company shall have
no further obligation or liability to Executive.
(c) Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, during each calendar year during the
Employment Period beginning with the year ending December 31, 2011, Executive will be eligible to
earn a target annual bonus of up to 100% of his Base Salary for such year, if and only if
Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries achieve the performance criteria specified by the Board or
the Compensation Committee (if there is one) for such year, as determined by the Board or such
Compensation Committee (if there is one) in its sole discretion. Schedule 3(c) sets forth
the performance criteria and relative weight of each for the calendar year (and only for the
calendar year) ending December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise agreed to by Executive, any such bonus
amount for any year shall be earned (if awarded) on the last day of such year and paid by the
Company no later than the earlier of (x) the date that is ten (10) business days after the
Companys receipt of its audited financial statements for the calendar year with respect to which
such bonus has been earned and (y) December 31 of the calendar year following such year with
respect to which such bonus has been earned.
(d) Benefits. In addition to (but without duplication of) the Base Salary and any
bonuses payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 3, Executive shall be entitled to
participate at his sole discretion in all of the Companys employee benefit programs for which
senior executive employees of the Company are generally eligible even though Executive may receive
certain health and welfare benefits through November 15, 2012 as a result of Executives service
with his prior employer.

upon Executives resignation for any reason (whether with Good Reason or without Good Reason and

reason (whether for Cause or without Cause and including in connection with a No-Fault
Termination). The date on which Executive ceases to be employed by the Company is referred to
herein as the Termination Date.
(b) Termination without Cause or with Good Reason. If the Employment Period is
terminated by the Company without Cause (other than in connection with a No-Fault Termination) or
by Executive with Good Reason, then Executive shall be entitled to receive:

Termination Date; plus
(C) any unused paid time off and sick pay of Executive in such amounts as have

respect thereto as in effect during the Employment Period, and the amount of any
business expenses incurred by Executive but not reimbursed prior to the Termination
Date in accordance with and reimbursable under the terms of the Companys policies
with respect thereto as in effect on the Termination Date; and
(ii) a lump sum payment (the Severance Payment) within fifteen (15) calendar
days after the Release Effective Date in an amount equal to the sum of:
(A) the greater of (A) the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be
entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which the
Termination Date occurs, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries
have exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan
for such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the
Termination Date, which amounts shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date, and (B) if Executives bonus
plan has not been determined for the calendar year in which the Termination Date
occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled under
Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the
Termination Date, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have
exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for
such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the
Termination Date, which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days
elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date); plus
- 3 -
(B) an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executives Base Salary as in
effect on the Termination Date (such 12-month period, the Severance
Period); and
(iii) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with the Consolidated
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) for the period commencing on the
Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which Executives COBRA period
terminates or expires and (B) the date on which the Severance Period expires (payable in
monthly installments during and concurrently with Executives COBRA period);
provided that if Executives COBRA period is terminated prior to expiration of the
Severance Period, then Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within
fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice of such termination or expiration from
Executive to the Board in an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health
and dental insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA
(assuming such continued insurance coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for
the period commencing on the date of such termination or expiration and ending on the date
on which the Severance Period expires.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment or
any payments pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) (and Executive shall forfeit all rights to such
payments) unless Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release
substantially in form and substance as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the General
Release), and such General Release remains in full force and effect, has not been revoked and
is no longer subject to revocation, within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment and such payments pursuant to Section
4(b)(iii) only so long as Executive has not breached any of the provisions of the General
Release or Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof (a Fundamental Breach). If
the General Release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in
the preceding sentence, then the following shall apply:
(A) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is not deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall commence
upon the first scheduled payment date immediately after the date the General Release
is executed and no longer subject to revocation (the Release Effective
Date). The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior to the Release Effective Date under the terms of
this Agreement applied as though such payments commenced immediately upon
Executives termination of employment, and any payments made after the Release
Effective Date shall continue as provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any
event expire at the time such payments or benefits would have expired had such
payments commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment.
(B) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall be made or
commence upon the sixtieth (60th) day following Executives termination of
employment. The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior thereto under the terms of this Agreement had
such payments commenced immediately upon Executives
- 4 -
termination of employment, and any payments made after the sixtieth (60th) day following Executives termination of
employment shall continue as provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any
event expire at the time such payments or benefits would have expired had such
payments commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment.
Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed
on the Termination Date to be a specified employee within the meaning of that term under Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code
Section 409A payable on account of a separation from service shall be made on the date which is
the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such
separation from service of Executive and (ii) the date of Executives death (the Delay
Period) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay
Period, all payments delayed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (whether they otherwise
would have been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be
paid to Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid
or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. In addition, if
Executive is a specified employee, to the extent that welfare benefits to be provided to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement are not disability pay, death benefit plans or non-taxable
medical benefits within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) or other benefits
not considered nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of that regulation, such
provision of benefits shall be delayed until the end of the Delay Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the previous sentence applies to the provision of any ongoing health
or welfare benefits that would not be required to be delayed if the premiums were paid by
Executive, Executive shall pay the full cost of the premiums for such benefits during the Delay
Period and the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the amount of such premiums paid by
Executive during the Delay Period within ten (10) days after the end of Delay Period.
(c) Termination by Death or Disability. If the Employment Period is terminated due to
Executives death or becoming Disabled, then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall be
entitled to receive:
(i) Executives unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date (payable in accordance
with Section 3(a));
(ii) any bonus amounts under Section 3(c) to which Executive is entitled
determined by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the Termination Date
(payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant to Section 3(c));
(iii) the greater of (A) the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled
under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which the Termination Date
occurs, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the
performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for such year, whether or not
such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date, which amounts shall
be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the Termination
Date, and (B) if Executives bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in
which the Termination Date occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be
entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the
Termination Date, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the
- 5 -
Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for such year, whether
or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date, which amount
shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the
Termination Date (in either case, payable at the same time it would have been paid pursuant
to Section 3(c));
(iv) payment in respect of any unused paid time off and sick pay of Executive in such
amounts as have accrued as of the Termination Date in accordance with the Companys policies
with respect thereto as in effect during the Employment Period, and reimbursement of any
business expenses incurred by Executive but not reimbursed prior to the Termination Date in
accordance with and reimbursable under the terms of the Companys policies with respect
thereto as in effect on the Termination Date (in each case, payable in a lump sum within ten
(10) business days after the Termination Date); and
(v) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA for the
period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earliest of (A) the date on
which Executives COBRA period terminates or expires, (B) the date on which the Disability
Severance Period expires, and (C) the date on which benefits have commenced under the
Companys long-term disability program, if any (payable in monthly installments during and
concurrently with Executives COBRA period); provided that if Executives COBRA
period is terminated prior to expiration of the Disability Severance Period, then Executive
shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notice of such termination or expiration from Executive to the Board in an amount
equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental insurance for Executive
and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA (assuming such continued insurance
coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for the period commencing on the date
of such termination or expiration and ending on the date on which the Disability Severance
Period expires.
In addition, if the Employment Period is terminated due to Executives becoming Disabled (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, not due to his death), then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall
be entitled to receive, during the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the
earlier of (A) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for long-term disability benefits under
any long-term disability program sponsored by the Company, and (B) six (6) months after the
Termination Date (such period, the Disability Severance Period), continued installment
payments of Executives Base Salary as in effect on the Termination Date, which shall be payable
over the Disability Severance Period in regular installments in accordance with the Companys
general payroll practices as in effect on the Termination Date, but in no event less frequently
than monthly.
(d) No-Fault Termination. If the Employment Period is terminated in connection with a

interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for
failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of

the Employment Period or like terms shall mean separation from service.
(iii) All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or

incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable
year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable

the Termination Date), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be

other information concerning patients (including, without limitation, all Protected Health
Information within the meaning of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and
(C) internal business information and intellectual property of every kind and description of
Holdings and the Subsidiaries). Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for five (5)
years thereafter, he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any
of such Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Executive, without the Boards prior
written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) was known to
Executive prior to the negotiation of this Agreement or the Employment Period from a source (other
than Holdings, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective agents) that, to the knowledge of
Executive, was not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary
obligation to Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, (ii) becomes

employers or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. If at any
time during his employment with the Company, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work
that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may
have to former employers, then Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executives
duties can be modified appropriately.
(c) Third-Party Information. Executive understands that Holdings and the Subsidiaries
will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (Third-Party
Information) subject to a duty on Holdings and the Subsidiaries part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the
Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of
Section 5(a) above, Executive will hold Third-Party Information in the strictest confidence
and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Holdings or the Subsidiaries who need to
know such information in connection with their work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries) or use,
except in connection with his work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries, Third-Party Information unless
expressly authorized by the Board in writing.
6. Ownership of Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges
that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments,
methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications,
copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all
registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or
related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Holdings or the Subsidiaries
actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services
and which are conceived, developed, contributed to, made or reduced to practice by Executive
(whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by Holdings or the Subsidiaries after the
date of this Agreement, including any of the foregoing that constitutes any proprietary information
or records (Work Product), belong to Holdings or such Subsidiary. Any copyrightable work
prepared in whole or in part by Executive in the course of his work for any of the foregoing
entities shall be deemed a work made for hire to the maximum extent permitted under copyright
laws, and Holdings or such Subsidiary shall own all rights therein. To the extent any such
copyrightable work is not a work made for hire, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to
Holdings or such Subsidiary all right, title and interest, including, without limitation,
copyright, in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product
to the Board and, at the Companys expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board
(whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership by Holdings
or such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, execution and delivery of assignments, consents,
powers of attorney and other instruments).
7. Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.
(a) Non-Compete. In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Executive
hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment with the Company he has
and shall become familiar with Holdings and the Subsidiaries trade secrets and with other
Confidential Information concerning Holdings and the Subsidiaries and that his services
- 9 -
have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Holdings and the Subsidiaries, and,
therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period thereafter of
twelve (12) months (the Noncompete Period), he shall not (i) directly or indirectly own
any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any
manner engage in any business that derives at least 25% of its gross revenue from the business of
providing behavioral healthcare and/or related services or (ii) directly or indirectly manage,
control, participate in, consult with or render services specifically with respect to any unit,
division, segment or subsidiary of any other business that engages in or otherwise competes with
(or was organized for the purpose of engaging in or competing with) the business of providing
behavioral healthcare and/or related services (provided that, this clause (ii) shall not be
construed to prohibit Executive from directly or indirectly owning any interest in, managing,
controlling, participating in, consulting with, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging
in any business activities with or for such business generally and, for the avoidance of doubt, not
specifically with respect to such unit, division, segment or subsidiary), in each case, within any
geographical area in which Holdings and the Subsidiaries engage in such businesses;
provided that Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Section 7(a) if the Employment Period is terminated by the Company without Cause or by

Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good faith dispute between the Company
and Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the term participate in shall include, without
limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any Person, whether as a sole proprietor,
owner, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or rendering any direct or
indirect service or assistance to any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture and other
business entity (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, employee, agent, consultant
or otherwise). Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than
2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as
Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
(b) Non-Solicit. During the Employment Period and for a period thereafter of twelve
(12) months (the Nonsolicit Period), Executive shall not directly or indirectly through
another Person (other than on behalf of Holdings and the Subsidiaries) (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee or independent contractor of Holdings or the Subsidiaries to leave the employ
or services of Holdings or the Subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
Holdings and the Subsidiaries and any employee or independent contractor thereof, (ii) hire or seek
any business affiliation with any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Holdings
or the Subsidiaries at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date or

relation of Holdings or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with Holdings or such Subsidiary or
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensor or other business
relation and Holdings or any Subsidiary; provided that Executive shall not be subject to
the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(b) if the Employment Period is terminated by
the Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in
breach of its obligations under Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good
faith dispute between the Company and Executive.
(c) Non-Disparagement. Without limiting any other obligation of Executive pursuant to
this Agreement, Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, except as may be required by applicable
law, Executive shall not make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any
other action in disparagement of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, during the Employment Period
and for a period of five (5) years thereafter (the Non-Disparagement Period).
- 10 -
Without limiting any other obligation of the Company and/or Holdings pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company and Holdings hereby covenant and agree that, except as may be required by applicable law,
the Company and Holdings shall cause their executive officers and members of their boards of
directors or boards of managers, as applicable, and each of Reeve B. Waud and Charles E. Edwards
not to make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any other action in
disparagement of Executive, during the Employment Period and the Non-Disparagement Period.
(d) Blue-Pencil. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5 or 6 or
this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated
herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum
duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained
herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Executive hereby
acknowledges and represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding
his rights and obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity
to do so and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 are in consideration of Executives
employment with the Company and other good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 do not preclude Executive from earning
a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executives ability to earn a living.
In addition, Executive acknowledges (x) that the business of Holdings and the Subsidiaries will be
conducted throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, (y) notwithstanding the
state of organization or principal office of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries or facilities, or
any of their respective executives or employees (including Executive), it is expected that Holdings
and the Subsidiaries will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within
its industry throughout the United States and its territories and beyond, and (z) as part of
Executives responsibilities, Executive will be traveling throughout the United States and other
jurisdictions where Holdings and the Subsidiaries conduct business during the Employment Period in
furtherance of the Companys business relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
potential harm to Holdings and the Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of any provision of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 outweighs any potential harm to
Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has
carefully read this Agreement and either consulted with legal counsel of Executives choosing
regarding its contents or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so, has given
careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full
accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and
proprietary information of Holdings and the Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the
future. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this
Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, duration and geographical area.
(f) Specific Performance. In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7,
Holdings and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its
favor whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without
posting a bond or other security). In
- 11 -
addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by
Executive of this Section 7, the Noncompete Period, the Nonsolicit Period or the
Non-Disparagement Period, as applicable, shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been
duly cured.

of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of
Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents

proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the date hereof), whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission

after statements therefor are received, (ii) neither the Company, Holdings nor any Subsidiary shall
settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened action to
which Executive is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by Executive

Executive from all liability arising out of such action, or Executive otherwise consents (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (iii) the Company,
Holdings and the applicable Subsidiaries
- 17 -
shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter. In the
event that any claim for indemnification is asserted or made within the Employment Period or the
six (6) year period thereafter, all rights of Executive to indemnification in respect of such claim
shall continue until the final disposition of such claim. The rights of Executive under this

organizational documents of the Company, Holdings or any Subsidiary, under any law, or under any
agreement of Executive with the Company, Holdings or any Subsidiary.
(b) During the Employment Period and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Company, or
any successor to the Company, shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors and
officers liability insurance providing coverage for Executive in the same or greater amount as for
members of the Board.
26. Legal Fees and Expenses.
(a) The Company shall pay or reimburse all fees, expenses and disbursements of Executive and
his agents, representatives, accountants, and counsel incurred in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument to be

provided, however, the aggregate amount payable or reimbursable by the Company
pursuant to (i) this Section 26(a), and (ii) the Companys employment agreements entered
into simultaneously herewith shall not exceed $50,000.
(b) In the event any litigation or other court action, arbitration or similar adjudicatory
proceeding (a Proceeding) is commenced or threatened by any party hereto (the
Claiming Party) to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party hereto
(the Defending Party), if the Defending Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding,
all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs, incurred by the Defending Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Claiming
Party, and, if the Claiming Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding, all fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, incurred by the
Claiming Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Defending Party; provided that
if the Defending Party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court,

fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Claiming Party and the Defending Party on an equitable

Party commences or threatens such Proceeding and (i) the underlying claim(s) in such Proceeding are
subsequently dropped or dismissed, or (ii) the Defending Party defeats any such claim(s).
27. Holdings Guarantee. Holdings unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay and
perform, upon Executives demand following a default by the Company, any and all obligations of the
Company from time to time owed to Executive under this Agreement, subject to any applicable cure
period. Holdings further agrees that if the Company shall fail to fulfill any of its obligations
under this Agreement, Holdings will perform the same on demand as a principal obligor, and not as a
surety. This is a continuing guarantee of the obligations and may not be revoked and shall not
otherwise terminate unless and until the obligations of the Company have been paid and performed in
full. Holdings represents and warrants that it will receive a substantial benefit from Companys
employment of Executive, which employment gives rise to the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. Holdings acknowledges that Executive would not execute this Agreement if it did not
- 18 -
receive this guarantee. The obligations of Holdings under this Section 27 will terminate
automatically upon a Sale of the LLC (as defined in the LLC Agreement).

I, Ronald M. Fincher, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Acadia Management
Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the
Company), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2011

Company and its affiliates and all present and former directors, officers, agents, representatives,
employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and the Companys direct and
indirect owners (collectively, the Released Parties) to the extent provided below.
1. I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Sections 4(b)(ii)
and 4(b)(iii) of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release
and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that
I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) of the
Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the
time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release.
2. Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement
which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and
voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever
discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies,
actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages,
liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys
fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through
the date I executed this General Release) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed

of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.
4. I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute
this General Release). I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company
is in compliance with the terms of the Agreement and company policy and shall not serve as the
basis for any Claim (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967).
5. I agree that I am waiving all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive
relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation,
reinstatement, back pay, front pay, attorneys fees and any form of injunctive relief.
Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to
waive any right that cannot be waived under applicable law, including the right to file an
administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided,
however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award
resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding.

and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any
state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected
and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove
mentioned. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this
General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the
Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the
Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a
governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such
Claims to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Sections 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) of the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General
Release. I also agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other

9. I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to
disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my
immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or
effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the
same to anyone.
10. Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or
my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and
circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.
11. Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release
shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach
by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General
Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or
rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability shall not affect any

Exhibit 10.12
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of March 29,
2011, by and between Acadia Management Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment; Employment Period. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive
hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date on which Executives
employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof (the Employment Period).
The place of employment of Executive shall be either the principal executive offices and corporate
headquarters of the Company and Holdings or, following relocation of such headquarters from
Atlanta, Georgia, the Companys offices in the greater Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area.
2. Position and Duties.
(a) Position; Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as
a Co-President of the Company and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities, functions and
authority of a Co-President, subject to the power and authority of the board of managers (the
Board) of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(Holdings), to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority
within the scope of duties, responsibilities, functions and authority associated with the position
of Co-President and to overrule actions of officers of the Company.
(b) Reporting; Performance of Duties. Executive shall report to the Board and devote
his full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods
of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Holdings and the Subsidiaries. So
long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent or approval of the Board, perform other services for compensation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving, with the prior written consent
of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in
the case of a non-corporate entity) of for-profit companies or businesses which are not directly
competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that the prior written consent of
the Board shall not be required for Executive to serve as a member of the boards of directors or
advisory boards (or their equivalents) of the companies listed on Schedule 2(b)), (ii)
engaging in charitable activities and community affairs (including serving as a member of the

the Company or any Subsidiary); provided, however, the activities set out in
clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere,
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not provide any services to any company or business that is directly competitive with
Holdings or the Subsidiaries (whether for-profit or not-for-profit) without the prior written
consent of the Board.
3. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executives base salary shall be
$317,474 per annum, subject to increase by the Board in its sole discretion on an annual basis (as
adjusted from time to time, the Base Salary), which salary shall be payable by the
Company in regular
installments in accordance with the Companys general payroll practices (as in effect from
time to time). The Base Salary for any partial year during the Employment Period will be based upon
the actual number of days elapsed in such year.
(b) Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse
Executive in the calendar year in which they are incurred for all reasonable out-of-pocket business
expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities under this

to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Companys requirements with
respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses.
(c) Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, during each calendar year during the
Employment Period beginning with the year ending December 31, 2011, Executive will be eligible to
earn a target annual bonus of up to 100% of his Base Salary for such year, if and only if
Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries achieve the performance criteria specified by the Board or
the Compensation Committee (if there is one) for such year, as determined by the Board or such
Compensation Committee (if there is one) in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise agreed to by
Executive, any such bonus amount for any year shall be earned (if awarded) on the last day of such
year and paid by the Company no later than the earlier of (x) the date that is ten (10) business
days after the Companys receipt of its audited financial statements for the calendar year with
respect to which such bonus has been earned and (y) December 31 of the calendar year following such
year with respect to which such bonus has been earned.
(d) Benefits. In addition to (but without duplication of) the Base Salary and any
bonuses payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 3, Executive shall be entitled to
participate at his sole discretion in all of the Companys employee benefit programs for which
senior executive employees of the Company are generally eligible.
4. Termination.
(a) Termination. The Employment Period shall terminate automatically and immediately
upon Executives resignation for any reason (whether with Good Reason or without Good Reason),

Company (through action by the Board) for any reason (whether for Cause or without Cause). The date
on which Executive ceases to be employed by the Company is referred to herein as the
Termination Date.
(b) Termination without Cause or with Good Reason. If the Employment Period is

reimbursable under the terms of the Companys policies with respect thereto as in effect on
the Termination Date; and

after the Release Effective Date in an amount equal to the sum of:

occurs, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have exceeded all of the
performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for such year, whether or not
such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date, which amounts shall
be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the Termination
Date, and (B) if Executives bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in
which the Termination Date occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be
entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to
the Termination Date, determined as if Executive, Holdings and the Subsidiaries have
exceeded all of the performance objectives specified in Executives bonus plan for such
year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date,
which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior
to the Termination Date); plus
(B) an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executives Base Salary as in effect on
the Termination Date (such 12-month period, the Severance Period); and
(iii) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental insurance
for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with the Consolidated Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) for the period commencing on the Termination Date and
ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which Executives COBRA period terminates or expires and
(B) the date on which the Severance Period expires (payable in monthly installments during and
concurrently with Executives COBRA period); provided that if Executives COBRA period is
terminated prior to expiration of the Severance Period, then Executive shall be entitled to receive
a lump sum payment within fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice of such termination or
expiration from Executive to the Board in an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued
health and dental insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA
(assuming such continued insurance coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for the
period
- 3 -
commencing on the date of such termination or expiration and ending on the date on which the
Severance Period expires.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment or
any payments pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) (and Executive shall forfeit all rights to such
payments) unless Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release
substantially in form and substance as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the General
Release), and such General Release remains in full force and effect, has not been revoked and
is no longer subject to revocation, within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment and such payments pursuant to Section
4(b)(iii) only so long as Executive has not breached any of the provisions of the General
Release or Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof (a Fundamental Breach). If the General
Release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in the preceding
sentence, then the following shall apply:
(A) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is not deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall commence
upon the first scheduled payment date immediately after the date the General Release
is executed and no longer subject to revocation (the Release Effective
Date). The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior to the Release Effective Date under the terms of
this Agreement applied as though such payments commenced immediately upon
Executives termination of employment, and any payments made after the Release
Effective Date shall continue as provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any
event expire at the time such payments or benefits would have expired had such
payments commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment.
(B) To the extent any such cash payment to be provided is deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, then such payment shall be made or
commence upon the sixtieth (60th) day following Executives termination of
employment.
The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that otherwise
would have been due prior thereto under the terms of this Agreement had such
payments commenced immediately upon Executives termination of employment, and any
payments made after the sixtieth (60th) day following Executives termination of
employment shall continue as provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any
event expire at the time such payments or benefits would have expired had such
payments commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment.
Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed
on the Termination Date to be a specified employee within the meaning of that term under Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section
409A payable on account of a separation from service shall be made on the date which is the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such

Date, and (B) if Executives bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in
which the Termination Date occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be

and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA (assuming such continued insurance
coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for the period commencing on the date
of such termination or expiration and ending on the date on which the Disability Severance
Period expires.
In addition, if the Employment Period is terminated due to Executives becoming Disabled (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, not due to his death), then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall

prime rate will be effective on and as of the date of such change.

owing hereunder as of the Termination Date that have not yet been paid) shall cease upon the
Termination Date, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA).

event whatsoever shall Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax,
interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for
failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or
following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a separation from
service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of
this Agreement, references to a termination, termination of employment, termination of
the Employment Period or like terms shall mean separation from service.
(iii) All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or
prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses
were incurred by Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable
income to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were
incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable
year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable
year.
(iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executives right to receive any installment
payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of
separate and distinct payments.
(v) Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference
to a number of days (e.g., payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days following
the Termination Date), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be
within the sole discretion of the Company.
5. Confidential Information.

Subsidiaries). Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for five (5) years
thereafter, he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any of such
Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Executive, without the Boards prior written
consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to
and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executives acts or omissions to act
or (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order.
(b) Use of Others Confidential Information. During the Employment Period, Executive
shall not use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former
employers or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. If at any
time during his employment with the Company, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work

have to former employers, then Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executives
duties can be modified appropriately.

confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the
Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section
5(a) above, Executive will hold Third-Party Information in the strictest confidence and will
not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Holdings or the Subsidiaries who need to know such
information in connection with their work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries) or use, except in
connection with his work for Holdings or the Subsidiaries, Third-Party Information unless expressly
authorized by the Board in writing.

related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Holdings or the Subsidiaries

Subsidiary shall own all rights therein. To the extent any such copyrightable work is not a work
made for hire, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to Holdings or such Subsidiary all
right, title and interest, including, without limitation, copyright, in and to such copyrightable
work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and, at the Companys
expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the
Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership by Holdings or such Subsidiary

and other instruments).

engage in such businesses; provided that Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions
set forth in this Section 7(a) if the Employment Period is terminated by the Company

(12) months (the Nonsolicit Period), Executive shall not directly or indirectly through

disparagement of Executive, during the Employment Period and the Non-Disparagement Period.
(d) Blue-Pencil. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5 or 6 or this
Section 7,a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein
are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration,
scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration,
scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to
cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Executive hereby acknowledges and
represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and
obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so and

with the Company and other good and valuable consideration as set forth in this Agreement. In

the United States and its territories and beyond, (y) notwithstanding the state of organization or
principal office of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries or facilities, or any of their respective

responsibilities, Executive will be traveling throughout the United States and other jurisdictions
where Holdings and the Subsidiaries conduct business during the Employment Period in furtherance of
the Companys business relationships. Executive agrees

non-enforcement of any provision of Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 outweighs
any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive
acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and either consulted with legal counsel of
Executives choosing regarding its contents or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to
do so, has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement

area.

Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7, Holdings
and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a sufficient
remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor
whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without
posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by
Executive of this Section 7, the Noncompete Period, the Nonsolicit Period or the
Non-Disparagement Period, as applicable, shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been
duly cured.

costs, incurred by the Defending Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Claiming
Party, and, if the Claiming Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding, all fees, costs and

under this Agreement, Holdings will perform the same on demand as a principal obligor, and not as a
surety. This is a continuing guarantee of the obligations and may not be revoked and shall not
otherwise terminate unless and until the obligations of the Company have been paid and performed in
full. Holdings represents and warrants that it will receive a substantial benefit from Companys
employment of Executive, which employment gives rise to the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. Holdings acknowledges that Executive would not execute this Agreement if it did not
receive this guarantee. The obligations of Holdings under this Section 27 will terminate
automatically upon a Sale of the LLC (as defined in the LLC Agreement).

and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that

Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or
rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability shall not affect any

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of May 23,
2011, by and between Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment; Term. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
The term of the Executives employment under this Agreement (the Term) shall
commence
immediately following the closing (the Closing) of the transactions contemplated by
that certain
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 23, 2011 (the Merger Agreement), by and among
PHC,
Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (PHC), the Company, and Acadia Merger Sub, a
Delaware
limited liability company (the Effective Date) and, subject to the earlier
termination of the Term as
provided in Section 4 below, shall continue through the second anniversary of the
Effective Date (the
Expiration Date); provided, however, that the Term shall automatically renew for
successive one-year terms (each, a Renewal Period) after the Expiration Date, subject to its
nonrenewal if either
the Company or Executive gives the other party hereto written notice at least ninety (90)
days prior
to the Expiration Date or the end of the then-current Renewal Period, as applicable (a
Non-Renewal
Notice) of its or his intent not to renew the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that
the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger
Agreement), this Agreement shall be void ab initio and without further force or effect.
2. Position and Duties.
(a) Position; Responsibilities. During the Term, Executive shall serve as Senior Vice
President of the Company and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities, functions and
authority of such position, subject to the power and authority of the Companys Board of Directors
(the Board) to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority
consistent with the scope of duties, responsibilities, functions and authority associated with the
position of Senior Vice President and to overrule actions of officers of the Company. Without
limitation of Executives duties, responsibilities, functions and authority as Senior Vice
President described in the preceding sentence, the Company and Executive agree that Executive shall
have primary responsibility and authority in developing, maintaining, transitioning and negotiating
with the significant customers of PHC as of the Effective Date.
(b) Reporting; Performance of Duties. Executive shall report to the Executive
Vice Chairman of the Board unless the Chairman of the Board requests Executive to report to the
Chairman and devote substantially all of his business time and attention (except for permitted
vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs
of the Company and its Subsidiaries. So long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not, without the prior written consent or approval of the Board, perform other services for
compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i)
serving, with the prior written consent of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or
advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity) of for-profit
companies or businesses which are not directly competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary

prior written consent of the Board shall not be required for Executive

organizations which are not directly competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary);
provided, however, the activities set out in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be
limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the
performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as
Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not provide any services to any company or
business that is directly competitive with the Company or the Subsidiaries (whether for-profit or
not-for-profit) without the prior written consent of the Board.
(c) Place of Performance. Executive shall perform his duties and responsibilities to
the Company in Las Vegas, Nevada. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive will
not be required to perform his duties and responsibilities at the Companys executive offices (or
any other location at which the Company operates).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the first day of each calendar year occurring during the Term,
the Base Salary shall be increased by at least five percent (5%) of the annual Base Salary rate
paid to Executive for the immediately preceding calendar year. The Base Salary for any partial year
during the Term will be based upon the actual number of days elapsed in such year.
(b) Business Expenses. During the Term, in addition to any other expenses specifically
provided for herein, the Company shall reimburse Executive in the calendar year in which they are
incurred for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him in the course of
performing his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement which are consistent with the
Companys policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other
business expenses, subject to the Companys requirements with respect to reporting and
documentation of such expenses.
(c) Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, during each calendar year during the Term,
Executive will be eligible to earn a target annual bonus of up to 60% of his Base Salary for such
year, if and only if Executive, the Company and the Subsidiaries achieve the performance criteria
specified by the Board or the Compensation Committee (if there is one) for such year, as determined
by the Board or such Compensation Committee (if there is one) in its sole discretion. Unless
otherwise agreed to by Executive, any such bonus amount for any year shall be earned (if awarded)

is ten (10) business days after the Companys receipt of its audited financial statements for the
calendar year with respect to which such bonus has been earned and (y) December 31 of the calendar
year following such year with respect to which such bonus has been earned.
(d) Benefits. In addition to Executives compensation provided by the foregoing,
during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive and participate at his sole discretion in

hereafter be in effect. Notwithstanding the terms of any such employee benefit program, during the
Term, the Company shall pay 100% of the monthly premiums or other costs associated with Executives
participation in such employee benefit programs and benefits. All of Executives service with PHC
and its affiliates, whether before or after the Closing, will be credited for purposes of
eligibility, participation, vesting and level of benefits for any benefit programs, and all
pre-existing conditions or limitations under any new benefit plan which is a welfare plan will be
waived to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which the Executive participated
immediately before the Effective Date.

(15)
calendar days after written notice of such termination or expiration from Executive to
the
Board in an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health, vision and
dental
insurance for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA
(assuming such continued insurance coverage remained available at the same monthly
cost)
for the period commencing on the date of such termination or expiration and ending on
the
date on which the Severance Period expires; and
(iv) a lump sum payment from the Company within fifteen (15) calendar
days after the Termination Date in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the maximum
bonus
amount to which Executive would be entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to
the calendar
year in which the Termination Date occurs, determined as if Executive, the Company and
the
Subsidiaries (as applicable) have exceeded all of the performance objectives and
criteria
specified in Executives bonus plan for such year, whether or not such objectives
actually
have been achieved as of the Termination Date, which amounts shall be prorated based on
the
actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date, and (B) if
Executives bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in which the
Termination Date occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled
under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the
Termination Date,
determined as if Executive, the Company and the Subsidiaries (as applicable) have
exceeded
all of the performance objectives and criteria specified in Executives bonus plan for
such
year, whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination
Date,
which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year
prior
to the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment or
any payments pursuant to Sections 4(b)(iii)-(iv) (and Executive shall forfeit all rights to
such payments) unless Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release
substantially in form and substance as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the General
Release), and such General Release remains in full force and effect, has not been revoked and
is no longer subject to revocation, within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment and such payments pursuant to Section
4(b)(iii)-(iv) only so long as Executive has not breached any of the provisions of the General
Release or Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof
-4-
(a Fundamental Breach). If the General Release is executed and delivered and no longer
subject to revocation as provided in the preceding sentence, then the following shall apply:
|
(A) |
|
To the extent any such cash payment to be
provided is not deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section
409A, then such payment shall commence upon the first scheduled payment
date immediately after the date the General Release is executed and no
longer subject to revocation (the Release Effective Date).
The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that
otherwise would have been due prior to the Release Effective Date under
the terms of this Agreement applied as though such payments commenced
immediately upon Executives termination of employment, and any
payments
made after the Release Effective Date shall continue as provided
herein. The delayed payments shall in any event expire at the time
such payments or benefits would have expired had such payments
commenced immediately following Executives termination of
employment. |
|
|
(B) |
|
To the extent any such cash payment to be
provided is deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A,
then such payment shall be made or commence upon the sixtieth (60th)
day following Executives termination of employment. The first such
cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that otherwise would
have been due prior thereto under the terms of this Agreement had such
payments commenced immediately upon Executives termination of
employment, and any payments made after the sixtieth (60th) day
following Executives termination of employment shall continue as
provided herein. The delayed payments shall in any event expire at the
time such payments or benefits would have expired had such payments
commenced immediately following Executives termination of employment. |
Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed
on the Termination Date to be a specified employee within the meaning of that term under Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section
409A payable on account of a separation from service shall be made on the date which is the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such
separation from service of Executive and (ii) the date of Executives death (the Delay
Period) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay
Period, all payments delayed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (whether they otherwise
would have been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be
paid to Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid
or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. In addition, if
Executive is a specified employee, to the extent that welfare benefits to be provided to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement are not disability pay, death benefit plans or non-taxable
medical benefits within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) or other benefits
not considered nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of that regulation, such
provision of benefits shall be delayed until the end of the Delay Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the previous sentence applies to the provision of any ongoing health
or welfare benefits that would
-5-
not be required to be delayed if the premiums were paid by
Executive, Executive shall pay the full cost of the premiums for such benefits during the Delay
Period and the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the amount of such premiums paid by
Executive during the Delay Period within ten (10) days after the end of Delay Period.
(c) Termination by Death or Disability. In consideration of Executives agreement to
be bound by the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement, if the Term is

beneficiary) shall be entitled to:

through the Termination Date (payable in accordance with Section 3(a));
(ii) payment from the Company of any bonus amounts under Section 3(c)
to which Executive is entitled determined by reference to the calendar year that ended
on or
prior to the Termination Date (payable at the same time it would have been paid
pursuant to
Section 3(c));
(iii) the greater of (A) the maximum bonus amount to which Executive
would be entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which
the
Termination Date occurs, determined as if Executive, the Company and the Subsidiaries
(as
applicable) have exceeded all of the performance objectives and criteria specified in
Executives bonus plan for such year, whether or not such objectives actually have been
achieved as of the Termination Date, which amounts shall be prorated based on the
actual
number of days elapsed in such year prior to the Termination Date, and (B) if
Executives
bonus plan has not been determined for the calendar year in which the Termination Date
occurs, the maximum bonus amount to which Executive would be entitled under Section
3(c)
with respect to the calendar year that ended prior to the Termination Date, determined
as if
Executive, the Company and the Subsidiaries (as applicable) have exceeded all of the
performance objectives and criteria specified in Executives bonus plan for such year,
whether or not such objectives actually have been achieved as of the Termination Date,
which amount shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year
prior
to the Termination Date (in either case, payable at the same time it would have been
paid
pursuant to Section 3(c);
(iv) payment in respect of any unused paid time off and sick pay of

(v) payment from the Company of an amount equal to the cost of the
premiums for continued participation in the Companys group health, vision and dental
plans
for Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA for the period
commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earliest of (A) the date on which
Executives COBRA period terminates or expires, (B) the date on which the Disability
Severance Period expires, and (C) the date on which benefits have commenced under the
-6-

period is terminated prior to expiration of the Disability Severance Period, then Executive
shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notice of such termination or expiration from Executive to the Board in an amount
equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health, vision and dental insurance for
Executive and/or Executives dependents in accordance with COBRA (assuming such continued
insurance coverage remained available at the same monthly cost) for the period commencing on
the date of such termination or expiration and ending on the date on which the Disability
Severance Period expires.
In addition, if the Term is terminated due to Executives becoming Disabled (but, for the avoidance
of doubt, not due to his death), then Executive (or his estate or beneficiary) shall be entitled to
receive, during the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the
date on which Executive becomes eligible for long-term disability benefits under any long-term
disability program sponsored by the Company, and (B) six (6) months after the Termination Date

(e) Interest. Without limiting the rights of Executive at law or in equity, if the
Company fails to make any payment required to be made hereunder on a timely basis, the Company will

faith the nature or amount thereof) against any amounts the Company or any of the Subsidiaries owes

therewith. In no event whatsoever shall Company or any of the Subsidiaries be liable
for any
additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section
409A
or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred
for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any

a
separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of
any
such provision of this Agreement, references to a termination, termination of
employment, termination of the Term or like terms shall mean separation from
service.
(iii) All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be
made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in
which such
expenses were incurred by Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements
constitute
taxable income to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th
of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed
were
incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any
taxable
year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other
taxable

installment payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a
series
of separate and distinct payments.
(v) Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment
period with reference to a number of days (e.g., payment shall be made within
fifteen (15)
days following the Termination Date), the actual date of payment within the specified

and other information concerning patients (including, without limitation, all Protected Health

Company and the Subsidiaries). Executive agrees that during the Term and for five (5) years
thereafter, he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any of such
Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Executive, without the Boards prior written
consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to

(b) Use of Others Confidential Information. During the Term, Executive shall not use
or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any
other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. If at any time during his
employment with the Company, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work that will, or
will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may have to former
employers, then Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executives duties can be
modified appropriately.

Section 5(a) above, Executive will hold Third-Party Information in the strictest confidence
and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of the Company or the Subsidiaries who need
to know such information in connection with their work for the Company or the Subsidiaries) or use,
except in connection with his work for the Company or the Subsidiaries, Third-Party Information
unless expressly authorized by the Board in writing.

such Subsidiary shall own all rights therein. To the extent any such copyrightable work is not a
work made for hire, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company or such
Subsidiary all right, title and interest, including, without limitation, copyright, in and to such

Companys expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after

Companys and the Subsidiaries trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning
the Company and the Subsidiaries and that his services have been and shall be of special, unique

any other business that engages in or otherwise competes with (or was organized for the purpose of

services (provided that, this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit Executive from
directly or indirectly owning any interest in, managing, controlling, participating in, consulting
with, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging in any business activities with or for such
business generally and, for the avoidance of doubt, not specifically with respect to such unit,
division, segment or subsidiary), in each case, within any geographical area in which the Company
and the Subsidiaries engage in such businesses; provided that Executive shall not be
subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(a) if the Term is terminated by the
Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in breach
of its obligations under Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good faith

manager, Supervisor, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise). Nothing herein shall prohibit
Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a
corporation which is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the
business of such corporation.
(b) Non-Solicit. During the Term and for a period thereafter of twelve (12) months
(the Nonsolicit Period), Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another
Person (other than on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiaries) (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent
contractor of the Company or the Subsidiaries to leave the employ or services of the Company or the
Subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and
-10-
the Subsidiaries and any employee or independent contractor thereof, (ii) hire or seek any business
affiliation with any person who was an employee or independent contractor of the Company or the
Subsidiaries at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date or (iii)
induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation
of the Company or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary or
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensor or other business
relation and the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that Executive shall not be subject to
the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(b) if the Term is terminated by the Company
without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason and for so long as the Company is in breach of its
obligations under Section 4(b) and such breach is not the subject of a good faith dispute
between the Company and Executive.
(c) Non-Disparagement. Without limiting any other obligation of Executive pursuant to
this Agreement, Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, except as may be required by applicable
law, Executive shall not make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or media, or take any
other action in disparagement of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, during the Term and for a
period of five (5) years thereafter (the Non-Disparagement Period). Without limiting any
other obligation of the Company and/or the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company and the
Company hereby covenant and agree that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Company
and the Company shall cause their executive officers and members of their boards of directors or
boards of managers, as applicable, not to make any statement, written or verbal, in any forum or
media, or take any other action in disparagement of Executive, during the Term and the
Non-Disparagement Period.
(d) Blue-Pencil. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5 or 6 or this
Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein
are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration,
scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration,
scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to
cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Executive hereby acknowledges and
represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and
obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so and
that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 are in consideration of Executives employment
with the Company, the benefits provided pursuant to Section 4, and other good and valuable
consideration as set forth in this Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that
the restrictions contained in Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 do not preclude
Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executives
ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive acknowledges (x) that the business of the Company
and the Subsidiaries will be conducted throughout the United States and its territories and beyond,
(y) notwithstanding the state of organization or principal office of the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or facilities, or any of their respective executives or employees (including
Executive), it is expected that the Company and the Subsidiaries will have business activities and
have valuable business relationships within its industry throughout the United States and its
territories and beyond, and (z) as part of Executives responsibilities, Executive will be
traveling throughout the United States and other jurisdictions where the Company and the
Subsidiaries conduct business during the Term in furtherance of the Companys business
relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the
-11-
Company and the Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of any provision of Sections 5 and 6
and this Section 7 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by
injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and
either consulted with legal counsel of Executives choosing regarding its contents or knowingly and
voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so, has given careful consideration to the restraints
imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full accord as to their necessity for the
reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of the Company and the
Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the future. Executive expressly acknowledges and
agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to
subject matter, duration and geographical area.
(f) Specific Performance. In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7, the Company
and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a sufficient
remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor
whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without
posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by
Executive of this Section 7, the Noncompete Period, the Nonsolicit Period or the
Non-Disparagement Period, as applicable, shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been
duly cured.
8. Executives Representations. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the
Company that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive do not
and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement,
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which he is bound,
(b) except as previously disclosed to the Company in writing (a copy of each such agreement having
been provided or made available to the Company prior to the date hereof or being publicly available
on EDGAR as of the date hereof), Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement,
noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity, and
(c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the
valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive
hereby acknowledges and represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel
regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the
opportunity to do so and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
9. Section 280G. If any payment or benefit due under this Agreement, together with all
other payments and benefits that Executive has received or may receive or is entitled to receive
from the Company or any of its past, present or future predecessors, successors, parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns, will constitute an excess parachute payment (as that term
is defined in Section 280G(b)(l) of the Code and related regulations), such payments and/or
benefits shall be paid or provided without regard to whether such payments would subject the
Executive to the federal excise tax levied on certain excess parachute payments under Section
4999 of the Code; provided, however, that if the Total After-Tax Payments would be increased by
limitation or elimination of any amount payable hereunder, then the amount payable hereunder will
be reduced to the extent necessary to maximize the Total After-Tax Payments.

such Taxes, together (if such failure to withhold was at the written direction of Executive, or, if
prior to the date when such withholding or deduction is required, Executive was informed in writing
by the Company or such Subsidiary that such deductions or withholdings will not made and Executive
failed to instruct the Company or such Subsidiary to make such withholding or deduction) with any
interest, penalties and related expenses thereto.

investment objectives of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

thereafter, Executive shall cooperate with the Company and the Subsidiaries in any internal
investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial investigation or proceeding or any dispute
with
-16-
any third party as reasonably requested by the Company or the Subsidiaries (including, without
limitation, Executive being available to the Company and the Subsidiaries upon reasonable notice
for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process,
volunteering the Company and the Subsidiaries all pertinent information and turning over to the
Company and the Subsidiaries all relevant documents which are or may come into Executives
possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with Executives other

expense. After the Term, if Executive is requested to engage or participate in any of the
foregoing, then Executive will do so and the Company or the Subsidiaries shall compensate Executive

party forever waives any such defense.
-17-
26. Indemnification and Directors and Officers Insurance.
(a) During the Term and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Company shall, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless Executive against all
costs and expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation (whether arising before or after the date hereof), whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their
capacity as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company (or the Company or
any Subsidiary). In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (i) the
Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by Executive promptly after
statements therefor are received, (ii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall settle,
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened action to which
Executive is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by Executive
hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of
Executive from all liability arising out of such action, or Executive otherwise consents (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (iii) the Company and the
applicable Subsidiaries shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter. In the event that any
claim for indemnification is asserted or made within the Term or the six (6) year period
thereafter, all rights of Executive to indemnification in respect of such claim shall continue
until the final disposition of such claim. The rights of Executive under this Section 27(a)
shall be in addition to any rights Executive may have under the organizational documents of the
Company or any Subsidiary, under any law, or under any agreement of Executive with the Company or
any Subsidiary.
(b) During the Term and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Company, or any
successor to the Company, shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors and officers
liability insurance providing coverage for Executive in the same or greater amount as for members
of the Board.
27. Legal Fees and Expenses.
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all fees, costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement
shall be paid by the party incurring such fees, costs or expenses.
(b) In the event any litigation or other court action, arbitration or similar adjudicatory
proceeding (a Proceeding) is commenced or threatened by any party hereto (the
Claiming Party) to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party hereto
(the Defending Party), if the Defending Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding,
all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs, incurred by the Defending Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Claiming
Party, and, if the Claiming Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding, all fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, incurred by the
Claiming Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Defending Party; provided that
if the Defending Party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court,
arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Claiming Party and the Defending Party on an equitable
basis. For purposes of this Section 28, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Defending Party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding if the Claiming
Party commences or threatens such Proceeding and (i) the underlying claim(s) in
-18-
such Proceeding are
subsequently dropped or dismissed, or (ii) the Defending Party defeats any such claim(s).

EXHIBIT A
GENERAL RELEASE
I, Robert Boswell, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Acadia
Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates,
the Company), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2011
(the Agreement), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the
Company and its affiliates and all present and former directors, officers, agents, representatives,
employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and the Companys direct and
indirect owners (collectively, the Released Parties) to the extent provided below.
1. I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Sections 4(b)(ii)
through 4(b)(iv) of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General
Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and
agree that I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(ii) through
4(b)(iv) of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General
Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release.
2. Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement
which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and
voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever
discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies,
actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages,
liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys
fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through
the date I executed this General Release) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed
against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs,
executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my
employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (including, but not limited to,
any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended
(including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker
Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;
any applicable Executive Orders; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local
counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any
other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract
or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the
Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress,
defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys fees incurred in
these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the Claims);
provided that, this General Release shall not apply to or affect or impair (i) Claims for
vested benefits pursuant to any Company employee benefit plan in which I was a participant prior to
the termination of my employment with the Company; (ii) any Claims for unemployment insurance
benefits or workers compensation benefits applicable to the period through the termination of my
employment with the Company; or (iii) any Claims that may arise for my indemnification under any
directors and officers or similar insurance, or under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws,
limited liability company agreement, certificate of
-1-
formation and/or other applicable governing documents of the Company, its subsidiaries and/or
affiliates.
3. I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause
of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.
4. I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute
this General Release). I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company
is in compliance with the terms of the Agreement and company policy and shall not serve as the
basis for any Claim (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967).
5. I agree that I am waiving all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive
relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation,
reinstatement, back pay, front pay, attorneys fees and any form of injunctive relief.
Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to
waive any right that cannot be waived under applicable law, including the right to file an
administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided,
however,
that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting
from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding.
6. In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a
bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned. I expressly consent that this
General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms
and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any
state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected
and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove
mentioned. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this
General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the
Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the
Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a
governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such
Claims to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
7. I represent that I am not aware of any pending charge or complaint of the type described in
paragraph 2 above as of the execution of this General Release. I represent that I am not aware of
any claim by me other than the claims that are released by this General Release. I acknowledge that
I may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or
believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above
and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have
materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it. Nevertheless, I hereby
waive any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or
additional claims or facts.
8. I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to Sections
4(b)(ii) through 4(b)(iv) of the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General Release. I
also agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released
Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released
Parties,
-2-
including reasonable attorneys fees, and upon the Companys request return all payments
theretofore received by me pursuant to Sections 4(b)(ii) through 4(b)(iv) of the Agreement.
9. I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to
disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my
immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or
effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the
same to anyone.
10. Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or
my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and
circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.
11. Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release
shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach
by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.
12. Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General
Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or
rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision or its validity and enforceability in any other jurisdiction, but this General
Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Exhibit 10.14
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of May 23,
2011, by and between Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and
Bruce A. Shear (Executive).
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment; Term. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts
employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. The term of the Executives employment under this Agreement (the Term) shall commence
immediately following the closing (the Closing) of the transactions contemplated by that certain
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 23, 2011 (the Merger Agreement), by and among PHC, Inc.,
a Massachusetts corporation (PHC), the Company, and Acadia Merger Sub, a Delaware limited
liability company (the Effective Date) and, subject to the earlier termination of the Term as
provided in Section 4 below, shall continue through the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Effective Date (the Expiration Date); provided, however, that the Term
shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms (each, a Renewal Period) after the
Expiration Date, subject to its nonrenewal if either the Company or Executive gives the other
party hereto written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date or the end of
the then-current Renewal Period, as applicable (a Non-Renewal Notice) of its or his intent not
to renew the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Merger Agreement is
terminated prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), this Agreement shall
be void ab initio and without further force or effect.
2. Position and Duties.
(a) Position; Responsibilities. During the Term, Executive shall serve as the
Executive Vice Chairman of the Company and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities,
functions and authority of such position, subject to the power and authority of the Companys
Board of Directors (the Board) to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and
authority consistent with the scope of duties, responsibilities, functions and authority
associated with the position of Executive Vice Chairman and to overrule actions of officers of the
Company. Without limitation of Executives duties, responsibilities, functions and authority as
Executive Vice Chairman described in the preceding sentence, the Company and Executive agree that
Executive shall have primary responsibility and authority in developing, maintaining,
transitioning and negotiating with the significant customers of PHC as of the Effective Date.
(b) Board Membership. On the Effective Date, Executive shall be appointed
to the Board to serve for an initial term of three years (the Initial Term). Following the
Initial Term, the Company agrees to nominate Executive to serve on the Board for an additional
three year term, shall recommend to the Companys stockholders that Executives nomination to the
Board be approved, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain stockholder approval
of such nomination.
(c) Reporting; Performance of Duties. Executive shall report to the Chairman of the Board and
devote substantially all of his business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods
and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of
the Company and its Subsidiaries. So long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not, without the prior written consent or approval of the Board, perform other services for
compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i)
serving, with the prior written consent of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or
advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity) of for-profit
companies or businesses which are not directly competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary
(provided that the prior written consent of the Board shall not be required for Executive to serve
as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents) of the companies
listed on Schedule 2(b)), (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs (including
serving as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case
of a non-corporate entity) of not-for-profit, charitable or community organizations which are not
directly competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary); provided, however, the activities set out
in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere,
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive
shall not provide any services to any company or business that is directly competitive with the
Company or the Subsidiaries (whether for-profit or not-for-profit) without the prior written
consent of the Board.
(d) Place of Performance. Executive may perform his duties and responsibilities to the
Company in any location deemed appropriate by Executive. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Executive will not be required to perform his duties and responsibilities at the
Companys executive offices (or any other location at which the Company operates). Executive will
attend scheduled Board and Executive committee meetings in person upon request and reasonable
advanced notice. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board and Executive committee meetings.
3. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. During the Term, Executives base salary shall be at least $350,000
per annum, subject to increase by the Board on an annual basis (as adjusted from time to time, the
Base Salary), which salary shall be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance
with the Companys general payroll practices (as in effect from time to time). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as of the first day of each calendar year occurring during the Term, the Base Salary
shall be increased by at least five percent (5%) of the annual Base Salary rate paid to Executive
for the immediately preceding calendar year. The Base Salary for any partial year during the Term
will be based upon the actual number of days elapsed in such year.
(b) Business Expenses. During the Term, in addition to any other expenses specifically
provided for herein, the Company shall reimburse Executive in the calendar year in which they are
incurred for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him in the course of
performing his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement which are consistent with the
Companys policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other
business expenses, subject to the Companys requirements with respect to reporting and
documentation of such expenses.

entitled under Section 3(c) with respect to the calendar year in which

5 and 6 and this Section 7 are in consideration of Executives employment with the Company, the
benefits provided pursuant to Section 4, and other good and valuable consideration as set forth in

furtherance of the Companys business relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
potential harm to the Company and the Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of any provision of
Sections 5 and 6 and this Section 7 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by
injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and
either consulted with legal counsel of Executives choosing regarding its contents or knowingly and
voluntarily waived the opportunity to do so, has given careful consideration to the restraints
imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full accord as to their necessity for the
reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of the Company and the
Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the future. Executive expressly acknowledges and
agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to
subject matter, duration and geographical area.

Executive of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6 or this Section 7, the Company
and the Subsidiaries would suffer irreparable harm and that money damages would not be a sufficient
remedy and, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor
whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting
a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive

-12-
(b) except as previously disclosed to the Company in writing (a copy of each such agreement
having been provided or made available to the Company prior to the date hereof or being publicly
available on EDGAR as of the date hereof), Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment
agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity, and
(c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the
valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive
hereby acknowledges and represents that he has either consulted with independent legal counsel
regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement or knowingly and voluntarily waived the
opportunity to do so and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
9. Executive Assistant. During the Term, the Company shall provide Executive with a
full time executive assistant of Executives choice. The Company shall provide an office and
adequate support services to such executive assistant. Such executive assistant shall be on the

subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns, will constitute an excess parachute payment (as that term
is defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code and related regulations), such payments and/or
benefits shall be paid or provided without regard to whether such payments would subject the
Executive to the federal excise tax levied on certain excess parachute payments under Section

(iv) any other material breach by the Company (or their successors) of this Agreement; provided
that, none of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) above shall constitute Good Reason
unless Executive shall have notified the Company in writing describing the event which constitutes

liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation (whether arising before or after the date hereof), whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their
capacity as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company (or the Company or
any Subsidiary). In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (i) the
Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by Executive promptly after
statements therefor are received, (ii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall settle,
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened action to which

Company or any Subsidiary, under any law, or under any agreement of Executive with the Company or
any Subsidiary.
(b) During the Term and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Company, or any
successor to the Company, shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors and officers
liability insurance providing coverage for Executive in the same or greater amount as for members

(the Defending Party), if the Defending Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding,
all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs, incurred by the Defending Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Claiming
Party, and, if the Claiming Party is the prevailing party in such Proceeding, all fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, incurred by the
Claiming Party in such Proceeding, will be reimbursed by the Defending Party; provided that
if the Defending Party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court,
arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Claiming Party and the Defending Party on an equitable
basis. For purposes of this Section 28, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Defending Party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding if the Claiming
Party commences or threatens such Proceeding and (i) the underlying claim(s) in
such Proceeding are subsequently dropped or dismissed, or (ii) the Defending Party defeats any

EXHIBIT A
GENERAL RELEASE
I, Bruce A. Shear, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Acadia
Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates,
the Company), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2011
(the Agreement), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the
Company and its affiliates and all present and former directors, officers, agents, representatives,
employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and the Companys direct and
indirect owners (collectively, the Released Parties) to the extent provided below.
1. I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Sections 4(b)(ii)
through 4(b)(v) of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release
and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that
I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(ii) through 4(b)(v) of the
Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the
time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release.
2. Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement
which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and
voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever
discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies,
actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages,
liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys
fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through
the date I executed this General Release) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed
against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs,
executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my
employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (including, but not limited to,
any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended
(including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker
Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;
any applicable Executive Orders; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local
counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any
other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract
or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the
Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress,
defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys fees incurred in
these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the Claims);
provided that, this General Release shall not apply to or affect or impair (i) Claims for
vested benefits pursuant to any Company employee benefit plan in which I was a participant prior to
the termination of my employment with the Company; (ii) any Claims for unemployment insurance
benefits or workers compensation benefits applicable to the period through the termination of my
employment with the Company; or (iii) any Claims that may arise for my indemnification
under any directors and officers or similar insurance, or under the certificate of incorporation,
bylaws, limited liability company agreement, certificate of
- 1 -
formation and/or other applicable governing documents of the Company, its subsidiaries and/or
affiliates.
3. I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause
of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.
4. I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute
this General Release). I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company
is in compliance with the terms of the Agreement and company policy and shall not serve as the
basis for any Claim (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967).
5. I agree that I am waiving all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive
relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation,
reinstatement, back pay, front pay, attorneys fees and any form of injunctive relief.
Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to
waive any right that cannot be waived under applicable law, including the right to file an
administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided,
however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award
resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding.
6. In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a
bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned. I expressly consent that this General
Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and
provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state
statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and
unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General
Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the
Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the
Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a
governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such
Claims to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
7. I represent that I am not aware of any pending charge or complaint of the type described in
paragraph 2 above as of the execution of this General Release. I represent that I am not aware of
any claim by me other than the claims that are released by this General Release. I acknowledge that
I may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or
believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above
and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have
materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it. Nevertheless, I hereby
waive any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or
additional claims or facts.
8. I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to Sections
4(b)(ii) through 4(b)(v) of the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General Release. I
also agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released
Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released
Parties,
- 2 -
including reasonable attorneys fees, and upon the Companys request return all payments
theretofore received by me pursuant to Sections 4(b)(ii) through 4(b)(v) of the Agreement.
9. I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to
disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my
immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or
effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the
same to anyone.
10. Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or
my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and
circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.
11. Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release
shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach
by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.
12. Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General
Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or
rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision or its validity and enforceability in any other jurisdiction, but this General
Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

deemed to be waived, unless agreed to in writing by you and an expressly authorized representative

be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement will be valid and enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law. The headings and captions in this Agreement are for
convenience only and in no way define or describe the scope or content of any provision of this
Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be an
original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, the

THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
19. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties
hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
20. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement.
Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the
corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and
verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word including in this
Agreement shall be, in each case, by way of example and without limitation. The use of the words
or, either, and any shall not be exclusive. Reference to any
agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable,
hereof.

|
|
(vi) |
|
In circumstances where all or any portion of the provisions of this
Paragraph D are finally judicially determined to be unavailable, True Partners

E. |
|

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY

Information and Data. True Partners shall be entitled to assume, without independent
verification, the accuracy of all representations, assumptions, information and data that the
Client and its representatives provide to True Partners. All representations, assumptions,
information and data to be supplied by the Client and its representatives will be complete and
accurate to the best of the Clients knowledge. True Partners may use information and data
furnished by others; however, True Partners shall not be responsible for, and True Partners
shall provide no assurance regarding, the accuracy of any such information or data. Except as
specifically agreed to, True Partners shall not provide advice regarding the financial
accounting treatment of any transaction implemented from these services and will not assume
any responsibility for any financial reporting with respect to the services provided
hereunder. The Client shall be responsible for all financial information and statements
provided with respect to any services performed hereunder. True Partners shall have no
responsibility to address any legal matters or questions of law, other than tax law. True
Partners will provide no opinion, attestation, or other form of assurance with respect to the
services hereunder or the information upon which any of the services is based. |
|
H. |
|
Third Parties and Internal Use. Except as otherwise agreed, all services in connection
with this engagement shall be solely for the Clients internal purposes and use, and this
engagement does not create privity between True Partners and any person or party other than
the Client. This engagement is not intended for the express or implied benefit of any third
party. No third party is entitled to rely, in any manner or for any purpose, on the advice,
opinions, reports, or other services of True Partners. The Client further agrees that the
advice, opinions and reports issued by True Partners shall not be distributed to any third
party without the prior written consent of True Partners. True Partners agrees that such
consent will ordinarily be granted provided that the Client makes a specific written request
of True Partners and the third party seeking such materials executes an acknowledgement of
non-reliance and a release acceptable to True Partners. In order to protect True Partners from
any unauthorized reliance or claims, and from breach of the Clients obligation not to
distribute True Partners advice, opinion or reports to any third party without True Partners
prior written consent, the Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless True Partners its
related entities, their respective officers, managing directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, from all claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses relating
to such a breach. |
|
I. |
|
Independent Contractor. It is understood and agreed that each of the parties hereto is an
independent contractor and that neither party is, nor shall be considered to be, an agent, distributor,
partner, fiduciary or representative of the other. Neither party shall act or represent
itself, directly or by implication, in any such capacity in respect of the other or in any
manner assume or create any obligation on behalf of, or in the name of, the other. If the
Internal Revenue Service should question the independent contractor status |
Mr. Danny Carpenter
January 7, 2011
Page 6
|
|
of True Partners, both parties shall have the right to participate in any discussions or
negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service to the maximum extent permissible by law,
regardless of with whom such discussions or negotiations are initiated. |
|
J. |
|
Survival and Interpretation. The agreements and undertakings of the Client contained
in the engagement letter, to which these terms are attached, together with the provisions of
all Paragraphs hereof, (except for the term of the engagement) shall survive the expiration
or termination of this engagement. For purposes of these terms, True Partners shall mean
True Partners Consulting LLC and any of its subsidiaries, related entities, or member firms;
all of their partners, principals, members, owners, directors, staff and agents, and in all
cases any successor or assignee. |
|
K. |
|
Governing Law and Severability. These terms, the engagement letter to which these terms
are attached (including any exhibits which may be attached to the engagement letter) and all
matters relating to this engagement (whether in contract, statute, tort (such as negligence), or
otherwise), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Illinois (without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof). If any provision of this
engagement letter (or any portion thereof) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to violate
any statute, regulation, rule, order or decree of any governmental authority, court, agency or
exchange, or is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity shall not be deemed to
affect any other provision hereof or the validity of the remainder of this engagement letter or
these General Business Terms, and such invalid provision shall be deemed deleted herefrom to the
minimum extent necessary to cure such violation. The remaining provisions of this engagement letter
and General Business Terms shall not be affected by such determination and shall be binding upon
the parties and shall be enforceable as though said invalid or unenforceable provision (or portion
thereof) were not contained herein. |
|
L. |
|
Confidentiality. Each party agrees to protect each other partys Confidential
Information (Confidential Information) in a reasonable and appropriate manner and in
accordance with any applicable professional practices and to use and reproduce Confidential
Information only to perform its obligations under the engagement letter.
Either party shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party or as
otherwise provided by the engagement letter without the prior written consent of the non-disclosing party.
Each party acknowledges that it is not practical, and shall not be necessary, to mark such information as
confidential, or to transfer it by confidential envelope or communication, in order to
preserve the confidential nature of the information. Confidential Information is any
information disclosed to the recipient under circumstances that would lead a reasonable
person to understand that such information is confidential or proprietary in nature except
for information that: |
Mr. Danny Carpenter
January 7, 2011
Page 7
|
(i) |
|
Is or becomes generally available to the public (including, without limitation,
any information filed with any governmental agency and available to the public) other
than as the result of a disclosure by the disclosing party in breach hereof, |
|
|
(ii) |
|
Is received by the recipient from a third party on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than the Client, which the recipient reasonably believes is
not prohibited from disclosing such information by obligation to the Client, |
|
|
(iii) |
|
Was known to the recipient prior to its receipt from the other party
without any obligation of confidentiality prior to disclosure, |
|
|
(iv) |
|
Is independently developed by recipient without use of disclosing
partys confidential information, or |
|
|
(v) |
|
Is publicly disclosed pursuant to any legal requirement or order from a
federal, state, or local governmental agency, or pursuant to any rule or regulation of
any stock exchange, national securities quotation system, or the Internal Revenue
Service governing either the recipient or the disclosing party. |
|
|
If a party is required to make such disclosure pursuant to clause (v), above, such disclosing
party shall provide the other party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so
that such other party may seek, at its own cost, a protective order or other appropriate
remedy and/or waive in writing compliance with the provisions of this clause. If such
protective order or other remedy is not obtained or available and such written waiver has not
been received from the other party that would permit such required disclosure, the disclosing
party may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is advised by
opinion of counsel is legally required to be disclosed and will cooperate with the other
party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. |
|
M. |
|
Assignment. Except as provided below, neither party may assign, transfer or delegate
any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, interests or claims relating to
this engagement) without the prior written consent of the other party. True Partners may, without the consent of the Client, assign or subcontract its
rights and obligations hereunder to (i) any affiliate or related entity or
(ii) any entity which acquires all or a
substantial part of the assets or business of True Partners. |
|
N. |
|
Cooperation. The Client shall cooperate with True Partners in the performance by True
Partners of its services hereunder, including, without limitation, providing True Partners
with reasonable facilities and timely access to data, information and personnel of the
Client. The Client shall be responsible for the performance of its personnel and agents |
Mr. Danny Carpenter
January 7, 2011
Page 8
|
|
and for the accuracy and completeness of all data and information provided to True
Partners for purposes of the performance by True Partners of its services hereunder. |
|
O. |
|
Fee Structure. Unless otherwise stated in the engagement letter, to the extent that
the fees for any engagement related to the preparation or submission of any tax return or
claim for the Client or the Clients affiliated entities are not itemized on a per return or
claim basis, the aggregate of fees enumerated in the engagement letter shall be divided
equally among the respective returns or claims itemized in the engagement letter for purposes
of the tax return preparer penalties pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §6694. |
|
P. |
|
Tax Return Disclosure and Tax Advisor Listing Requirements. The Internal Revenue
Service and other taxing authorities have instituted stringent disclosure requirements for
certain transactions (i.e., reportable transactions). All tax advisors must submit certain
information to taxing authorities and maintain a list of their clients who participated in
reportable transactions. These lists are subject to review by some taxing authorities upon
request. The Client agrees to advise True Partners immediately if the Client believes that it
participated in a reportable transaction. In turn, True Partners will consult with the Client
to determine the appropriate transaction reporting requirements. If the Client has engaged in
a reportable transaction, True Partners services in connection with listing, disclosing and
reporting such transaction are considered additional services outside the scope of this
engagement letter. |
|
Q. |
|
Written Tax Advice. Unless otherwise agreed to in the scope of services enumerated in
this engagement letter, it is anticipated that any written advice True Partners provides
during the course of this engagement will be Other Written Advice as defined by Circular
230. Accordingly, unless otherwise prohibited, or pursuant to the issuance of a Covered
Opinion as defined by Circular 230, any written advice pursuant to this engagement may
include a disclosure stating that the tax advice was not intended or written to be used, and
it cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties that may be imposed by any
governmental agency. Any written advice True Partners provides will contain any other
disclosures required by Circular 230. |
|
R. |
|
Timeliness of Performance; Force Majeure. True Partners understands that prompt performance of the services
hereunder is required by the
Client in order to meet its schedules and commitments. Neither party shall be liable, however, for any failure to perform its
obligations where such failure is a result of acts of nature (including fire, flood, earthquake,
storm, hurricane or other natural disaster), war, invasion, act of foreign enemies hostilities (whether war
is declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power or
confiscation, terrorist activities, nationalization, government sanction, blockage, embargo, labor
dispute, strike, lockout or interruption or failure of electricity or telephone service. |
Mr. Danny Carpenter
January 7, 2011

S. |
|
Non-Solicitation. During the term of this engagement letter and for a period of one
(1) year following the termination of the engagement letter, neither party shall, directly or
indirectly, solicit to hire or hire any employee of the other party without paying the other
party a fee equal to the annual salary of such employee while employed by the other party.
The foregoing will not apply to (i) any broad-based efforts to attract applicants not
targeted directly to True Partners or the Client or their respective personnel, or (ii) any
applications submitted or inquires made by personnel of either party not at the request of
the other. |
|
T. |
|
Limitation on Warranties. This is a services agreement, and True Partners warrants
that it shall perform the services hereunder in good faith and with due professional care.
True Partners disclaims all other warranties, either express or implied, including, without
limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, warranties
arising out of custom or usage in a particular profession, and warranties by operation of law.
The Clients exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty shall be for True Partners, upon
receipt or written notice, to use reasonable efforts to cure such breach, or, failing any cure
in a reasonable period of time, the return of professional fees paid to True Partners
hereunder with respect to the services giving rise to such breach. |
|
U. |
|
General. |
|
(i) |
|
These Business Terms, the engagement letter to which these terms are
attached (including any exhibits which may be attached to the engagement letter), shall
constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters
contained herein and shall supersede any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
negotiations, correspondence, undertakings and communications (whether written, oral or
electronic) of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be
amended except by a writing executed by all parties hereto. |
|
|
(ii) |
|

Mr. Danny Carpenter
January 7, 2011

|
|
additional services are not included in our fee for the services covered by this
engagement letter. Client agrees to pay any and all of True Partners additional fees
and costs associated with any such out-of-scope audit defense. |
|
|
(v) |
|

restrict True Partners from providing services for other clients. |
V. |
|
Execution. The associated engagement letter may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute

counterpart hereof. |
|
W. |
|
True Partners Ownership & Professionals. True Partners is owned and operated by
professionals who hold Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licenses, as well as by
professionals who are not licensed CPAs. Depending on the nature of the services True
Partners provides, non-CPA owners and professionals may be involved in providing services to
you pursuant to this engagement letter. Although True Partners employs CPAs, it is not a
licensed CPA firm in any state. In addition, True Partners is not engaged in the practice of
law in any state. |
