(hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date") giving notice thereof to Seller
at least five (5) days prior to the selected time, but in no event later than
sixty (60) days after the Date of This Agreement, subject to adjournment by
Seller to permit Seller to remove title objections under paragraph 5 hereof.
4. Warranties of Seller. At Closing, Seller shall convey "good and

following exceptions (hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions"):
(a) Liens for ad valorem taxes not yet due and payable;
(b) The standard printed exceptions as set forth in the "Title

(hereinafter referred to as the "Title Policy") free and clear of all
exceptions except the Permitted Exceptions.
5. Title objections. Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days after the
Date of This Agreement in which to search title to the Property and in which to
furnish Seller with a written statement of any title objections affecting the
marketability of said title other than the Permitted Exceptions. Should

aforesaid time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all objections
to the title to the Property. Seller shall have twenty (20) days
- 2 -
<PAGE> 3
after receipt of such written objections (hereinafter referred to as the "Title
Cure Period") in which Seller shall in good faith endeavor to satisfy or
correct (but shall not be obligated to cure) all such valid title objections.
In the event Seller fails to satisfy or correct all valid title objections
within the Title Cure Period, Purchaser shall, by written notice to Seller
given within five (5) days after the expiration of the Title Cure Period, elect
one of the following: (a) to waive such title objections and to close the
transaction on or before the later of (i) the Closing Date, or (ii) three (3)
days following such notice, accepting the Deed subject to such title objections
and without reduction of the Purchase Price, except that liens affecting the
Property which were created or allowed by Seller and which are dischargeable by
the payment of money shall be paid at Closing out of the Purchase Price if this
option is elected; or (b) to cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the
Earnest Money, in which event neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any
further rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, and the lien or
right, if any, of Purchaser against or to the Property shall wholly cease.
Seller shall not be required and is not obligated hereby to bring any action or
proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense to render the title to the
Property free of any liens, leases and encumbrances except to the extent any
such liens, leases and encumbrances are in conjunction with requirements listed
in paragraph 4 above. The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed
to be full performance of and discharge of every agreement and obligation on
the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, except those (if any) pursuant to any provision hereof which are
herein specifically stated to survive the Closing. Deeds to secure debt
encumbering the Property which are to be paid by Seller from the Purchase Price
at the closing shall not constitute valid title objections.
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any copies of the instruments,
notices, agreements, items of record, or other documents referred to in Exhibit
B to this Agreement which Seller currently has available. In the event that
Purchaser determines that the items listed on Exhibit B are not acceptable to
it, within the time period specified in this paragraph, Purchaser shall have
the right to object to such matters, as set forth above.

privilege of going on the Property prior to Closing to make surveys, soil
tests, environmental tests, hydrological studies, and other tests and

with the survey so made indicating the number of acres comprising the Property
to the nearest one-hundredth of an acre (hereinafter referred to as the
"Survey"). Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Seller harmless from any loss, liability, cost,
- 3 -
<PAGE> 4
claims, damages, demands, actions, causes of action, liens, claims of lien and
suits resulting from Purchaser's activities under this paragraph except and
unless such loss, liability, damage or claim is the result of Seller's
negligence. The preceding indemnity shall survive the termination, rescission,
cancellation and consummation of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall promptly
restore the Property to its condition on the date hereof to the extent
practicable after all such tests or surveys, with Purchaser's obligations so to
restore to survive any termination of this Agreement. The legal description to
be used in the Deed shall be the legal description attached hereto as Exhibit
A. if Purchaser so desires, Seller shall execute a quitclaim deed conveying the
Property pursuant to a legal description prepared from the Survey.
7. Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the State of Colorado property
transfer tax applicable to this transaction at Closing. Seller shall also pay
its attorneys' fees, the costs of recording the Deed, and the cost of recording
any documents necessary to cure title objections. Purchaser shall pay the cost

taxes due as a result of this transaction, and its attorneys' fees.
8. Apportionment of Taxes. All city, state and county ad valorem taxes
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Taxes") for the calendar year of
Closing shall be prorated and accounted for between Seller and Purchaser at
Closing based on the latest millage rate and assessment available. Should such
proration be inaccurate based on the actual bills when received, either party
shall be entitled to receive on demand, a payment from the other correcting
such malapportionment. The foregoing prorations shall increase or decrease the
cash portion of the Purchase Price. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive the Closing.

refunded to Purchaser and no party shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder, or (ii) to close the transaction contemplated hereby and receive the
instruments required herein from Seller, irrespective of such damage or
destruction and without reduction of the Purchase Price, but with Seller's
right to applicable insurance proceeds, if any. Damage or destruction in an
amount in excess of $500,000 shall be deemed "material" for the purposes of
this Paragraph.

AGREEMENT OF SALE
THIS AGREEMENT OF SALE (this "Agreement") is made and entered into by and
among MHM SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as
"Seller"), and POUDRE VALLEY HEALTH CARE, INC., a Colorado corporation
(hereinafter referred to as "Purchaser").
In consideration of the agreements herein contained, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Conveyance. Seller agrees to sell and convey and Purchaser agrees to
purchase and take title to that certain parcel of real estate commonly known as
Mountain Crest Behavioral Healthcare System lying and being in Ft. Collins,
Colorado, and being more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto,
including all improvements, fixtures, rights, privileges, easements,
hereditaments and appurtenances thereto, together with all right, title and
interest of Seller in and to the land lying in the bed of any street, road,
avenue or alley, open or proposed, public or private, in front of or adjoining
said property to the center line thereof (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Property"). The Property shall include all fixtures, furnishings,
equipment, and other assets comprising the facility known as Mountain Crest
Behavioral Health Care System located at 4601 Corbett Drive, Fort Collins,
Colorado (the "Facility"), but excluding equipment owned by HHG Colorado, Inc.,
not to exceed a value of $50,000.00. The Property shall include the medical
records of the hospital which Purchaser agrees shall be maintained in conformity
with applicable laws and regulations, including those of patient confidentiality
and patient access. At "Closing" (as defined below), Seller and Purchaser shall
mutually agree upon an allocation of the "Purchase Price" (as defined below)
among the various items of real and personal property constituting the Property
being conveyed under this Agreement.
2. Liabilities. At Closing, Seller will have paid or reserved adequate
funds to pay all accrued liabilities, whether or not then due and payable. All
outstanding leases, subleases, management contracts, medical director contracts,
medical staff relationships and any other agreements affecting the operation of
the Facility will be surrendered and canceled except: (i) those agreements
which, by their terms are not cancelable as of the Closing, which agreements and
the liabilities arising thereunder shall be assumed by Purchaser; and (ii) those
agreements and medical staff relationships which may not be terminated without
jeopardizing the care then being rendered to patients, unless Purchaser makes
adequate arrangements for the substitution of such agreements and relationship
with the patient's consent, as necessary. Seller shall be responsible for all
other liabilities not specifically assumed by Purchaser, and Seller hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless as to all such liabilities. At
Closing, employees of the hospital who are represented by the Seller as "at
will" employees will become "at will" employees of the Purchaser.

3. Purchase Price and Payment. The purchase price of the Property
(hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Price") shall be the sum of
$5,320,000, which Purchase price shall be paid as follows:
3.1. Earnest Money. A deposit of $532,000 (hereinafter referred to
as the "Earnest Money") has been paid by Purchaser upon execution of that
certain Letter of Intent between the parties. The Earnest Money shall be applied
to the cash portion of the Purchase Price due at Closing. This deposit, to be
referred to as the "Earnest Money Deposit" is refundable only to the extent the
transaction does not close due to: (1) conditions, not previously known or
apparent, discovered during the due diligence examination which cannot or will
not be cured by Seller or waived by Purchaser; or (2) the inability of either
party to satisfy all the conditions of paragraph 13. If, through no fault of
Purchaser this transaction does not proceed to Closing, Seller agrees to refund
within ten (10) business days the Earnest Money Deposit. Refund of the Earnest
Money Deposit shall be in the form of check or certified funds.
3.2. Remainder of Purchase Price. The balance of the Purchase Price,
less credit for the Earnest Money and such other credits, prorations and
adjustments as are provided herein, shall be paid at Closing by certified funds
or wire delivery of funds through the Federal Reserve System to an account
designated in writing by Seller.
4. Closing; Deed. This transaction shall be closed by delivery by Seller
to Purchaser of a properly executed special warranty deed as described in
paragraph 6 below (hereinafter referred to as the "Deed") conveying the
Property, against receipt by Seller of the Purchase Price and upon performance
of all of the other obligations incurred under this Agreement, at the offices of
Mt. Crest Hospital, or at such other location in Ft. Collins, Colorado as may be
chosen by Purchaser, at a specific time and date selected by Purchaser
(hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date") giving notice thereof to Seller
at least five (5) days prior to the selected time. Provided, in no event shall
Closing be later than thirty-five (35) days after the Date of This Agreement,
subject to adjournment by Seller to permit Seller to remove title objections
under paragraph 7 hereof. Patients in the Hospital as of the date of Closing
will be discharged from the care of MHM of Colorado, Inc., and readmitted to the
care of Purchaser, effective as of 12:01 a.m. the day after Closing.

a consulting agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C for a period of one
year beyond the Closing date for $50,000 per month. Under this contract, Seller

7. Title Objections.
7.1. Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days after the Date of This
Agreement in which to search title to the Property and in which to furnish
Seller with a written statement of any title objections affecting the
marketability of said title other than the Permitted Exceptions. Should
Purchaser fail to notify Seller of any such title objections within the
aforesaid time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all objections
to the title to the Property. Seller shall have twenty (20) days after receipt
of such written objections (hereinafter referred to as the "Title Cure Period")
in which Seller shall in good faith endeavor to satisfy or correct (but shall
not be obligated to cure) all such valid title objections. In the event Seller
fails to satisfy or correct all valid title objections within the Title Cure
Period, Purchaser shall, by written notice to Seller given within five (5) days
after the expiration of the Title Cure Period, elect one of the following: (a)
to waive such title objections and to close the transaction on or before the
later of (i) the Closing Date, or (ii) three (3) days following such notice,
accepting the Deed subject to such title objections and without reduction of the
Purchase Price, except that liens affecting the Property which were created or
allowed by Seller and which are dischargeable by the payment of money shall be
paid at Closing out of the Purchase Price if this option is elected; or (b) to
cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money, in which event
neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, duties or
obligations under this Agreement, and the lien or right, if any, of Purchaser
against or to the Property shall wholly cease. Seller shall not be required and
is not obligated hereby to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur
any expense to render the title to the Property free of any liens, leases and
encumbrances except to the extent any such liens, leases and encumbrances are in
conjunction with requirements listed in paragraph 6 above. The acceptance of the
Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be full performance of and discharge of
every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, except those (if any) pursuant to any
provision hereof which are herein specifically stated to survive the Closing.
Deeds to secure debt encumbering the property which are to be paid by Seller
from the Purchase Price at the Closing shall not constitute valid title
objections.
7.2. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any copies of the
instruments, notices, agreements, items of record, or other documents referred
to in Exhibit B which Seller has available. In the event that Purchaser
determines the "Permitted Exceptions" as defined in paragraph 6.1(c) above are
not acceptable to it, within the time period specified in paragraph 7.1,
Purchaser shall have the right to object to such matters, as set forth in
paragraph 7.1.
8. Survey. Purchaser or its agents or designees shall have the privilege
of going on the Property prior to Closing to make surveys, soil tests,
environmental tests, hydrological studies, and other tests and inspections of
the Property. Any survey shall
4
<PAGE> 5
be performed by a Colorado Registered Land Surveyor selected by Purchaser, a
Purchaser's sole expense, with the survey so made indicating the number of acres
comprising the Property to the nearest one-hundredth of an acre (hereinafter
referred to as the "Survey"). Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any loss, liability, cost,
claims, damages, demands, actions, causes of action, liens, claims of lien and
suits resulting from Purchaser's activities under this paragraph except and
unless such loss, liability, damage or claim is the result of Seller's
negligence. The preceding indemnity shall survive the termination, rescission,
cancellation and consummation of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall promptly
restore the Property to its condition on the date hereof to the extent
practicable after all such tests or surveys, with Purchaser's obligation so to
restore to survive any termination of this Agreement. The legal description to
be used in the Deed shall be the legal description attached hereto as Exhibit A.
If Purchaser so desires, Seller shall execute a quitclaim deed conveying the
Property pursuant to a legal description prepared from the Survey.
9. Closing Costs. Each party will pay its own legal, accounting and other
fees and expenses incident to the contemplated transaction, provided that
Purchaser shall pay the State of Colorado property transfer tax applicable to
this transaction, the costs of recording the deed, the cost of the Title Policy,
the cost of the Survey, and any intangible taxes or similar taxes due as a
result of this transaction, and further provided that Seller shall pay the cost
of recording any documents necessary to cure title objections.
10. Apportionment of Taxes. All city, state and county ad valorem taxes
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Taxes") for the calendar year of
Closing shall be prorated and accounted for between Seller and Purchaser at
Closing based on the latest millage rate and assessment available. Should such
proration be inaccurate based on the actual bills when received, either party
shall be entitled to receive, on demand, a payment from the other correcting
such malapportionment. The foregoing prorations shall increase or decrease the
cash portion of the Purchase Price. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive the Closing.
11. Casualty Loss. In the event of material damage to or material
destruction of the Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing,
which material damage or material destruction has not been repaired or restored
by the Closing Date, Purchaser may, at its option, elect: (i) not to close the
transaction contemplated hereby, in which event the Earnest Money shall be
refunded to Purchaser and no party shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder, or (ii) to close the transaction contemplated hereby and receive the
instruments required herein from Seller, irrespective of such damage or
destruction and without reduction of the Purchase Price, but with Seller's right
to applicable insurance proceeds, if any. Damage or destruction in an amount in
excess of $500,000 shall be deemed "material" for the purposes of this
Paragraph.

action or proceeding for condemnation of any part of Property by friendly
acquisition or statutory proceeding, which may result in the taking of all or
any part of Property. Upon such notification, Purchaser shall have the right, to
be exercised within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, to rescind this
Agreement and receive a refund of Earnest Money. If Purchaser does not elect to
rescind, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller will

taking. Provided Purchaser does not rescind, Seller will assign at Closing all

18. Remedies.
18.1. Remedies of Seller. In the event of Purchaser's default under
this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be paid to or retained by Seller as full
liquidated damages, this Agreement shall, except as expressly set forth
elsewhere herein, be null and void, and none of the parties hereto shall have
any further rights or obligations hereunder. It is hereby agreed that, without
resale, Seller's damages will be difficult to ascertain and that the Earnest
Money constitutes a reasonable liquidation thereof and is intended not as a
penalty, but as full liquidated damages. Seller agrees that in the event of a
default by Purchaser, it shall not initiate any proceeding to recover damages
from Purchaser in excess of the Earnest Money, and Purchaser agrees that in the
event of its default, it shall not initiate any proceeding challenging Seller's
right to retain or receive the full amount of the Earnest Money as liquidated
damages.
18.2. Remedies of Purchaser. In the event of Seller's default under
this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with written notice of such
default specifying the nature of such default. Seller shall have ten (10) days
from the date of receipt of said notice to cure such default. In the event
Seller does not cure such default within such 10-day period, Purchaser's sole
remedies shall be to obtain specific performance of Seller's obligations under
this Agreement or to terminate this Agreement, in which event Seller shall
refund the Earnest Money, this Agreement shall terminate and the parties hereto
shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for any rights or
obligations hereunder which, by their terms, survive any

with the provisions of this Agreement and to take or abstain from taking certain

Agreement and that such information will be kept confidential; provided,
however, that (i) any such information may be disclosed to a party's directors,
officers, partners and employees and representatives of such party's advisors
who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating the contemplated
transaction (it being understood that such individuals shall be informed by the
party hereto of the confidential nature of such information and shall be
directed to treat such information confidentially), and (ii) any disclosure of
such information may be made to which the disclosing party consents in writing.

other party and will not retain any copies, extracts or other reproductions in

based on the information in the Evaluation Material shall be destroyed, and such
destruction shall be certified in writing to the appropriate other party by an
authorized officer supervising such destruction.

MHM SERVICES, INC. ANNOUNCES THE SALE
OF ITS COLORADO FACILITY
Vienna, VA, April 22, 1998 -- MHM Services, Inc. (AMEX:MHM) announced today the
sale of its last free standing psychiatric hospital operation. The facility,
located in Fort Collins, Colorado, was operated by MHM through a wholly owned
subsidiary, MHM of Colorado, Inc. The purchaser is Poudre Valley Hospital, of
Fort Collins, which will continue to operate the facility. Poudre Valley also
acquired through MHM the hospital real estate and certain other fixed assets of
the Hospital which MHM previously had leased.
During FY 1997, Mt. Crest Hospital had net revenues of $5,516,000 and pre-tax
earnings of $519,000. The company realized net proceeds of approximately
$1,900,000 and a net gain of approximately $1,900,000 from the transaction.
Approximately $1,200,000 of the proceeds were used to pay debts and other
obligations. The remainder will be used for general corporate and working
capital purposes. As part of the transaction, PVH has entered into a twelve
month consulting contract with MHM for a total of $600,000.
Michael Pinkert, MHM Services President and CEO said " The sale of Mt. Crest
Hospital completes our transition from being an inpatient provider of mental
health services to being a leading company in the on-site provision of these
services. We now service more than 50,000 residents of nursing homes in 4 states
and more than 55,000 inmates in 3 state-wide correctional systems, with more
than half our revenues being generated under managed care at-risk contracts."
Mr. Pinkert added, "We plan to continue to expand the on-site services segment
of our business, especially in the correctional facilities market."

management's current plans and expectations. Such statements involve risks and

use of available cash resources to fund continued operating losses, the amount
and timing of receipt of government reimbursement and the resolution of claims
reviews, affirmation of the adverse decision in the Company's suit against
MEDIQ, risks associated with industry consolidation and acquisitions, and the
need to manage growth. For additional information, please refer to the Company's
