28



 

Section 12.2                                Indemnification by Allscripts.  After the Closing, Allscripts agrees to indemnify and defend RxCentric, its officers, directors, stockholders, agents and representatives (collectively, for purposes of this Article XII “RxCentric”) and hold it harmless upon demand from and against, and to reimburse RxCentric for, any and all Losses, (a) arising from the operation or ownership of the Assets after the Closing and any failure of Allscripts to pay or perform any Assumed Liabilities and any other obligations and liabilities specifically assumed by Allscripts under this Agreement; (b) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty, or any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement, of Allscripts contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered to RxCentric under this Agreement, and (c) arising from actions taken by Allscripts after the Closing that affect persons who were employees of RxCentric at the time of the Closing, excluding any claims arising under or derived from an independent contractor arrangement  (to the extent not assumed under Section 4.1) or other employment agreement entered into between such persons and RxCentric.

 

Section 12.3                                Certain Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,

 

(a)               All representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement or in documents and instruments delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing, but all claims made by virtue of such representations and warranties shall be made under, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII.  Neither party shall indemnify or otherwise be liable to any other party with respect to any claim for any breach of a representation or warranty, unless notice of the claim is given within one year after the Closing Date.

 

(b)              The right of each party to indemnification under this Article XII shall be such party’s exclusive remedy after Closing for any Losses suffered or incurred by such party by reason of the other party’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered to such party under this Agreement or the other party’s breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered to such party under the Agreement; provided, however, that Allscripts shall have the right to suspend payments under Section 3.4 in connection with any Loss and to pursue such other remedies described in Article XIII.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, RxCentric’s liability for Losses shall be limited in the aggregate to an amount equal to the Purchase Price, except that, if (i) no notice of a claim for Losses is given by Allscripts within six months of the Closing Date and (ii) RxCentric has dissolved and given notice to potential claimants in accordance with Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (such notices to specify that a claim must be received from potential claimants by the six month anniversary of the Closing Date), thereafter RxCentric’s liability for Losses shall be limited in the aggregate to $500,000.  No claim, demand, suit or cause of action shall be brought against RxCentric under this Article XII unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses exceeds $100,000 (at which point RxCentric shall become liable for the total aggregate Losses (subject to the above limitations), and not just amounts in excess of $100,000).

 

(c)               RxCentric shall not distribute or otherwise transfer $500,000 of the Purchase Price to any person or entity prior to the first anniversary date of the Closing Date.  If RxCentric shall dissolve prior to the first anniversary date of the Closing Date, RxCentric shall

 

29



 

arrange for the escrow of $500,000 of the Purchase Price for a period commencing on the date of dissolution and ending on the first anniversary date of the Closing Date.  Such escrow shall be established and administered pursuant to an Escrow Agreement that shall be in a form mutually agreed upon by RxCentric and Allscripts and shall provide for, among other things, the release of the escrowed amount to the former stockholders of RxCentric (on a pro rata basis) upon expiration of the escrow period if Allscripts has not given notice of a claim for Losses hereunder.

 

Section 12.4                                Procedure for Indemnification.  The procedure for indemnification will be as follows:

 

(a)               The party claiming indemnification (the “Claimant”) will, within fifteen Business Days of its discovery of the facts or circumstances giving rise to such claim, give notice to the party from which indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, whether between the parties or brought by a third party, specifying in reasonable detail the factual basis for the claim.  If the claim relates to an action, suit, or proceeding filed by a third party against Claimant, such notice will be given by Claimant within ten Business Days after written notice of such action, suit, or proceeding was given to Claimant.  The Claimant’s failure to give such notice timely will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Claimant except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

 

(b)              With respect to claims solely between the parties, following receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty days to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable.  For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the claim.  If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party will immediately pay to the Claimant the full amount of the claim (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.3(b) above).  If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party do not agree within the thirty-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Claimant may seek appropriate remedy at law or equity.

 

(c)               With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the Claimant is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will have the right at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the defense of such claim, and the Claimant will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, subject to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claimant as the result of a request by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that Allscripts, in its sole discretion, may maintain control of the defense of any claim, while affording RxCentric reasonable opportunity to participate in such defense.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of any third-party claim, the Claimant will have the right to participate in the defense of such claim at its own expense (except that the Claimant will have the right to participate in the defense of such claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if the Claimant has been advised by its counsel that use of the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant would present a conflict of interest).  If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or otherwise

 

30



 

participate in the defense of any third-party claim, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by the results obtained by the Claimant with respect to such claim.

 

Section 12.5                                Reliance.  No notice or information delivered by any party shall affect any other party’s right to rely on any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by such party or relieve such party of any obligations under this Agreement as the result of a breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

 

ARTICLE XIII

RISK OF LOSS; INSURANCE

 

Section 13.1                                Risk of Loss; Insurance.

 

(a)               During the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the risk of loss, damage or impairment, confiscation or condemnation of any of the Assets from any cause whatsoever shall be borne by RxCentric, and RxCentric shall continue to maintain all existing insurance polices presently maintained on the buildings and on the other Assets (or upon written request of Allscripts and at Allscripts’ expense, in such greater amounts as Allscripts may reasonably request).

 

(b)              In the event of any loss, damage or impairment, confiscation or condemnation of any of the Assets prior to the completion of the Closing, RxCentric shall notify Allscripts of same in writing immediately, specifying with particularity the loss, damage or impairment, confiscation or condemnation incurred, the cause thereof, if known or reasonably ascertainable, and the insurance coverage.  RxCentric shall apply the proceeds of any insurance policy, judgment or award with respect thereto to repair, replace or restore such Assets to their prior condition as soon as possible after such loss, damages or impairment, confiscation or condemnation, and RxCentric shall use the proceeds of any claim under any property damage insurance policy or other recovery solely to repair, replace, or restore any of the Assets that are lost, damaged, impaired, or destroyed.

 

(c)               If before the Closing Date, due to damages or destruction or any other reason, the operations of RxCentric are suspended for any period, then (i) RxCentric shall immediately give written notice thereof to Allscripts; and (ii) Allscripts shall have the right, by giving immediate written notice to RxCentric, to (A) within five Business Days of receiving such notice from RxCentric of such suspension, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article XIV hereof, or (B) postpone the Closing Date for a period of up to 90 days.

 

(d)              In the event of any material damage or destruction of the Assets described in subsection (b) above, or in the event of any damage or destruction of the Assets described in subsection (c) above, if such Assets have not been restored or replaced and RxCentric’s normal and usual operation resumed by the date scheduled for Closing, as same may be postponed pursuant to subsection (c) above, Allscripts may pursuant to Section 14, terminate this Agreement by written notice to RxCentric pursuant to Article XIV hereof.  Alternatively, Allscripts may, at its option, proceed to close this Agreement and complete the restoration and replacement of such damaged Assets after the Closing Date, in which event RxCentric shall

 

31



 

deliver or assign to Allscripts all insurance or other proceeds received in connection with such damage or destruction of the Assets to the extent such proceeds are received by or payable to RxCentric and have not theretofore been used in or committed to the restoration or replacement of the Assets.

 

ARTICLE XIV

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

 

Section 14.1                                Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated:

 

(a)               at any time by mutual written consent of RxCentric and Allscripts;

 

(b)              by RxCentric or Allscripts if the terminating party is not in default or breach in any material respect of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 2003;

 

(c)               by RxCentric, if RxCentric is not in default or breach in any material respect of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement, if all the conditions in Article VIII have not been satisfied or waived by the date scheduled for the Closing pursuant to Section 10.1 (as such date may be postponed pursuant to Section 10.1);

 

(d)              by Allscripts, if Allscripts is not in default or breach in any material respect of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement, if all the conditions set forth in Article IX have not been satisfied or waived by the date scheduled for the Closing pursuant to Section 10.1 (as such date may be postponed pursuant to Section 10.1);

 

(e)               by Allscripts pursuant to Section 13.1(c) or (d).

 

Section 14.2                                Procedure and Effect of Termination.

 

(a)               In the event of termination of this Agreement by either or both of Allscripts and/or RxCentric pursuant to Section 14.1, prompt written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any of the parties hereto, but subject to and without limiting any of the rights of the parties specified herein in the event a party is in default or breach in any material respect of its obligations under this Agreement.  If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein:

 

(i)                                     None of the parties hereto nor any of their directors, officers, stockholders, employers, partners, agents, or Affiliates shall have any liability or further obligation to the other party or any of their directors, officers, stockholders, employees, partners agents, or Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement with respect to which termination has occurred, except as stated in Sections 14.2(b), 15.1, and 16.6 hereof; and

 

32



 

(ii)                                  All filings, applications and other submissions relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as to which termination has occurred shall, to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or other person to which made.

 

(b)              If (i) both (A) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14.1 by Allscripts for any reason and (B) if RxCentric shall be in breach in a material respect of any of its obligations under this Agreement after all conditions precedent to RxCentric’s obligations have been satisfied and Allscripts is not in breach in a material respect of any of its obligations under this Agreement and Allscripts stands ready, willing and able to perform Allscripts’ obligations under this Agreement or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14.1(d), then and in that event, Allscripts shall have the right to either (1) recover from RxCentric as agreed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum of $250,000 or (2) in lieu of monetary damages, the right to specific performance of this Agreement and to compel RxCentric to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, RxCentric shall not be obligated to pay Allscripts $250,000 or to specifically perform under this Agreement, as set forth in the preceding sentence, if RxCentric is unable to meet a condition to Closing that is not within its control.  By way of example only and without limiting applicability of the preceding sentence, failure to obtain stockholder consent (Section 8.1), failure to obtain customer consents (Section 9.2) or the failure of any of the Key Employees to accept employment with Allscripts (Section 9.7) shall not obligate RxCentric to pay Allscripts $250,000 or to specifically perform under this Agreement.  In recognition of the unique character of the Assets to be sold hereunder and the damages which Allscripts will suffer in the event of a breach by RxCentric, RxCentric hereby waives any defense that Allscripts has an adequate remedy at law for the breach of this Agreement by RxCentric.

 

(c)               If (i) both (A) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14.1 by RxCentric for any reason and (B) if Allscripts shall be in breach in a material respect of any of its obligations under this Agreement after all conditions precedent to Allscripts’ obligations have been satisfied and RxCentric is not in breach in a material respect of any of its obligations under this Agreement and RxCentric stands ready, willing and able to perform RxCentric’s obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14.1(c), then and in that event, RxCentric shall have the right to recover from Allscripts as agreed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum of $250,000.

 

(d)              Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or any applicable law, neither RxCentric nor Allscripts may rely on the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Article VIII or IX, respectively, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith, or a breach of or failure to perform its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

Section 14.3                                Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

[Signature Page to Asset Purchase Agreement]

 



 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement is made as of the 7th day of August, 2003 by and between RxCentric Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal offices in New York, New York (“RxCentric”), and Allscripts, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal offices in Libertyville, Illinois (“Allscripts.”).

 

Background

 

Allscripts and RxCentric entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 16, 2003 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Allscripts agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of RxCentric and assume certain liabilities of RxCentric.  As a condition precedent to Allscripts’ obligation to effect a Closing (as defined in the Agreement), RxCentric is obligated, among other things, to (i) obtain certain Required Consents and (ii) deliver audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 (if required) (the “Audited Financial Statements”).  The parties desire to effect a Closing prior to the receipt of all of the Required Consents and the availability of the Audited Financial Statements and provide for a process to ensure that the Required Consents and the Audited Financial Statements are delivered promptly after the Closing.

 

Now, therefore, it is agreed as follows:

 

1.                                       Waiver of Closing Conditions.  Allscripts hereby waives RxCentric’s obligation to comply with Sections 10.2(e) and 10.2(g) of the Agreement prior to Closing.

 

2.                                       Delivery of Audited Financial Statements.  RxCentric shall deliver the Audited Financial Statements within 45 days after Closing.  If RxCentric has not done so, then Allscripts shall have the right to retain an alternative auditor or pay additional fees to RxCentric’s auditor to complete and deliver the Audited Financial Statements.  In the event that Allscripts retains an alternative auditor, upon delivery of the Audited Financial Statements to Allscripts, RxCentric shall reimburse Allscripts for the reasonable and documented fees incurred by Allscripts in connection with completion of the Audited Financial Statements.

 

3.                                       Delivery of Required Consents.  RxCentric has not obtained those Required Consents listed on Exhibit A, attached to this Amendment (the “Outstanding Consents”).  In consideration of Allscripts’ agreement to effect a Closing, despite not having obtained the Outstanding Consents, Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) of the Purchase Price shall be held back by Allscripts (the “Holdback”).  If RxCentric delivers the Outstanding Consents on or before September 8, 2003 (the “Consent Due Date”), and (i) there is no further reduction in the Backlog between the Closing Date and the Consent Due Date (other than reductions attributable solely to Allscripts’ recognition of revenue in accordance with Allscripts’ standard accounting policies) and (ii) Allscripts does not reasonably determine that the Operating Liabilities as of the Closing Date are greater than as represented by RxCentric, then Allscripts shall pay the Holdback to RxCentric.  If RxCentric delivers only some of the Outstanding Consents by the Consent Due Date,

 



 

then Allscripts shall pay only a portion of the Holdback amount, up to the total of $400,000, equal to the value of the Contracts for which Outstanding Consents have been received; provided that the Holdback payment shall be reduced by the sum of  (i) any further reduction in the Backlog between the Closing and the Consent Due Date (other than reductions attributable solely to Allscripts’ recognition of revenue in accordance with Allscripts’ standard accounting policies), and/or (ii) the amount, if any, by which Allscripts reasonably determines that the Operating Liabilities are greater than represented to be at the Closing .  As of the Closing Date, the Backlog is $3,454,215.  The current value of each Contract for which there is an Outstanding Consent is stated on Exhibit A.  Additionally, RxCentric shall continue to cooperate to obtain any Consents, whether or not listed on Exhibit A after the Closing and after the Consent Due Date.

 

4.                                       No Accrual of the Contingent Purchase Price.  Revenues associated with the Contracts listed on Exhibit A shall not count toward the calculation of the PI Gross Revenues in determining the Contingent Purchase Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Novartis – Animal Health contract is not included in the final Backlog calculation made on the Consent Due Date, then any revenues associated therewith shall count toward the calculation of the PI Gross Revenues in determining the Contingent Purchase Price.

 

5.                                       No Other Changes. This Amendment constitutes the entire sum of changes of any kind or nature to the Agreement, and there are no changes, representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of any kind except as set forth herein.  In all other respects, the Agreement is and shall remain in full force and effect. Unless expressly indicated to the contrary herein, the defined terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this Agreement have caused this Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
