(c) In the event that any Employee on Schedule 5.8(b) is not actively at work on the Closing Date due to any leave of absence, including but not limited to a short-term disability or military leave (each, an Inactive Employee), such Inactive Employees employment shall not transfer to any member of the Company Group as of the Closing Date and FISV shall assume the employment relationship for that person and all costs and liabilities incurred as a result of that employment relationship. With respect to each Inactive Employee (other than Inactive Employees on military leave) the Company Group shall reimburse FISV at an amount for each such Inactive Employee that is equal to the sum of (x) the short-term disability payroll continuation payment made to such person, if any, (y) the human resources and payroll fees provided for under the Transition Services Agreement with respect to such person, and (z) the Health, Dental, Flexible Spending, HSA, HRA and COBRA Plan Benefits fees provided for under the Transition Services Agreement with respect to such person; provided that, with respect to any Inactive Employee, the Company Groups payment obligation for (x), (y) and (z) above shall end on the earliest of: (A) the date on which the Inactive Employee returns to active employment, (B) the date on which FISV terminates the Inactive Employee for any reason, or (C) the later of the sixth-month anniversary of the Closing Date or, for an Inactive Employee on short-term disability as of the Closing Date, the date such Inactive Employee begins receiving long-term disability benefits under FISVs long-term disability policy. The employment of an Inactive Employee who is on military leave shall be transferred to a member of the Company Group upon such employees return from military service, provided such return is in accordance with USERRA. If any other Inactive Employee is able to return to work on or before the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, such employees employment shall transfer to a member of the Company Group as of the date that the Company Group receives written notice from FISV that the employee is able to return to work, and any Inactive Employee who is not able to return to work on or before the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date will be terminated by FISV, and FISV will cooperate with the Company Group should the Company Group wish to hire such Inactive Employee following such six-month anniversary. For purposes
54
of this Section 5.8(c), able to return to work means that FISV provides the Company Group with adequate documentation that the person is able to perform the essential functions of his/her position with a member of the Company Group, with or without reasonable accommodation. At such time, if any, that any such Inactive Employee returns to active employment in accordance with this Section 5.8(c), the terms and conditions of such employees employment shall be governed under Section 5.8(b) above.

To the extent any of the CheckFree Employees accept an offer of employment by Holdco, the Trident Investors and the Sellers shall cause Holdco to cause any employee benefit plans which any of the CheckFree Employees are eligible to participate in to take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual thereunder, except for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits, service by the CheckFree Employees to CheckFree and any of its Affiliates as if such service were with Holdco, to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable plan of CheckFree. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Trident Investors, the Sellers, Holdco or Newco, nor any member of the Company Group shall have any obligation to offer employment to any CheckFree Employee and the Trident Investors or the Sellers may cause Holdco to instruct CheckFree Corporation to terminate the employment of any CheckFree Employee at any time following the Closing Date.
(e) If the Trident Investors shall so request as to any or all benefit plans, programs or arrangements that it may elect to cause Holdco to establish at or about the Closing Date for the benefit of employees of any member the Company Group, the Sellers shall each use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to assist
55
Holdco in negotiating with the relevant third-party providers to enable Holdco to continue in effect or to establish group insurance policies, agreements with health maintenance organizations, administrative services contracts, thirdparty administrator agreements, letters of understanding or other arrangements on substantially the same terms and conditions (subject to such additional fees or charges that such third-party providers may negotiate) as the comparable policy, contract or arrangement in effect with respect to the corresponding Company Plan. If the Trident Investors shall so request, in addition to those services provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, the Sellers shall provide to Holdco, Newco and the members of the Company Group, as the case may be, until September 30, 2008, transition services relating to the employee benefits to be provided to employees of the Company Group at and following the Closing Date, and payroll and similar services that may be reasonably requested by the Trident Investors. Any such services to be provided pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be provided to Holdco, Newco and the members of the Company Group at the cost incurred by the Sellers with respect to such services, as may be reasonably agreed to between the Trident Investors and the Sellers.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.8, no employee, consultant or director shall have any rights of enforcement or be a third party beneficiary with respect to any of the covenants of the Trident Investors or the Sellers hereunder.
(g)
(i) Prior to the Closing Date, FISV shall take all actions necessary to provide that to the extent any employees of the Company Group as of the Closing Date participate in the FISV 401(k) Plan, (A) each such employees account under the FISV 401(k) Plan shall become fully vested as of the Closing Date, and (B) each such employee shall receive a 2008 matching contribution under the FISV 401(k) for the portion of the plan year through the Closing Date (as FISVs expense) at the same time as other plan participants receive 2008 matching contributions; provided, however, that the matching contribution paid to such Company Group employees shall be pro-rated for the portion of the 2008 plan year that occurs prior to the Closing Date.
(ii) For the period after the Closing Date through September 30, 2008, employees of the Company Group will continue to participate in the FISV 401(k) Plan. FISV will accrue for the matching contributions paid by FISV for the portion of the plan year from the Closing Date through September 30, 2008, and the Company Group will reimburse FISV for the amount of such matching contributions.
5.9. Intellectual Property Transfers. Prior to the Closing, the Sellers or their Affiliates, as applicable, and the applicable members of the Company Group shall
56
execute assignments, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers and the Trident Investors, conveying Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule 3.2.9 that is not currently in the name of any member of the Company Group, to the applicable member of the Company Group.
5.10. Liens. Each of the Sellers shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Liens (including, without limitation, any Company Group Guarantees under any of the Fiserv Loan Documents) over the Assets or any Company Group Securities to be removed, released or terminated, effective as of or prior to the Closing, any such removal, release or termination to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trident Investors.
5.11. Insurance Matters.
(a) Prior to the Closing, FISV has maintained insurance policies and fidelity bonds that provide certain coverage for itself and its Affiliates, including the members of the Company Group, and their respective employees, workers, officers, consultants and directors (the FISV Insurance Policies). From and after the Closing, except as provided herein, the Company shall be responsible for maintaining its own insurance policies and fidelity bonds separately form the FISV Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding the forgoing:
(i) FISV, upon request of the Company, shall cooperate with and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in the transition to its own separate insurance coverage from and after the Closing, and will provide the Company with information that is in the possession of FISV or any of its Affiliates and is necessary and, to the extent reasonably available, useful to obtain such insurance coverage;
(ii) Each of FISV and the Company, upon the request of the other, will cooperate with and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other in the collection of proceeds from insurance claims made under any FISV Insurance Policy; and
(iii) Each of FISV and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action that would jeopardize or otherwise interfere with any partys ability to collect any proceeds payable pursuant to any FISV Insurance Policy.
(b) FISV, at the request of the Company, will assert or assist the Company Group in asserting, claims under any of the FISV Insurance Policies arising out of events, acts, or omissions to the extent commencing or occurring on or prior to the Closing, for which any member of the Company Group or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or other covered parties is entitled
57
to recovery under any of the FISV Insurance Policies or which are otherwise covered by any of the FISV Insurance Policies in accordance with the terms thereof to the extent of the insurance coverage available (including any self insured retentions). FISV shall, promptly upon receipt, pay over to the Company Group any proceeds recovered in respect of any such claim. FISV confirms the sole right of the Company Group or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or other covered parties to assert any such claim in respect of the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all cases:
(i) The Company will promptly pay or reimburse FISV for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by FISV in connection with such claims (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any self-insured retentions under any such FISV Insurance Policies);
(ii) To the full extent permitted by contract and Applicable Law, the control and administration of any FISV Insurance Policy, including with respect to any proposed buyouts of any such FISV Insurance Policy, remains with FISV;
(iii) Such claims are subject to (and recovery thereon will be reduced by) the amount of any applicable deductibles, in respect thereof for which the Company rather than FISV was responsible prior to the Closing and limits of coverage available under such FISV Insurance Policy, further reduced by the amount that has been paid under such FISV Insurance Policy in respect of claims by FISV or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group);
(iv) With respect to claims-made FISV Insurance Policies, such claims must have been incurred and reported prior to the Closing to the extent required by such policies; and
(v) The Company shall promptly report to FISV any such claims of which it has knowledge and keep FISV reasonably informed with regard to the status thereof. FISV (or, in the event that the primary economic burden is to be borne by the Company, the Company) has the right to control the investigation, defense and settlement of claims, but no such settlement may be effected without the consent of the Company (or FISV, as applicable), which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such settlement does not include any admission of liability or exposure to third party claims and includes as an unconditional term thereof the delivery of a written release of the Company (or FISV, as applicable) and any other named insured member of the Company Group (or FISV Affiliate (other than the Company Group), as applicable) from all liability in respect of such claims.
58
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, FISV has no right to receive, and will not seek, any premium or additional payment from the Company Group in respect of any FISV Insurance Policy.
5.12. Receivables Adjustment.
(a) Within 30 days following the Determination Date, Holdco shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver to FISV a certificate, which shall be true and complete, including detailed supporting information (the Receivables Certificate), consisting of (i) a statement of the aggregate amount of all cash collected by the Company Group from the Closing Date to the Determination Date, net of all third-party fees and expenses in connection with such collections, in respect of accounts receivable reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet or reflected on a previous balance sheet of the Company Group and written off prior to the Closing Date with respect to the business of WorkingRx, Inc. and Third Party Solutions, Inc. (the Determination Date Collections) and (ii) a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount, if any, payable by FISV pursuant to Section 5.12(b) (including any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.12(c).
(b) If the amount of Closing Date Receivables, as set forth on the Closing Statement, exceeds the amount of Determination Date Collections, as set forth on the Receivables Certificate, then FISV shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such excess.
(c) From the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date or the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction or an Asset Sale, Holdco shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts with respect to the collection and settlement of the accounts receivable generated by WorkingRx, Inc. and Third Party Solutions, Inc. before the Closing Date, provided that the sole remedy of the Sellers for the failure of Holdco to so cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use such commercially reasonable efforts shall be an adjustment to any amount payable under Section 5.12(b) to the extent such amount reflects uncollected accounts receivable that would have been collected if such commercially reasonable efforts had been used by the Company and its Subsidiaries. In determining whether the Company and its Subsidiaries have used such commercially reasonable efforts, there shall be taken into consideration, along with any other relevant factors, the efforts used by the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date to collect accounts receivable generated by WorkingRx, Inc. and Third Party Solutions, Inc. after the Closing Date.
59
(d) Holdco shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use their good faith efforts following the Closing to apply collections of accounts receivable to specific invoices or periods of account.
(e) Prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior consent of FISV, Holdco shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to enter into any bulk settlement involving more than $1,500,000 of Closing Date Receivables and/or Written Off Receivables unless the cash collected by the Company Group in respect of such settlement is at least equal to the sum of (x) the product of (A) the uncollected balance of the Closing Date Receivables subject to the proposed settlement, multiplied by (B) the Applicable A/R Percentage, and (y) the product of (A) the uncollected balance of Written Off Receivables subject to the proposed settlement, multiplied by (B) 40%. FISV shall respond promptly and in good faith to any request for consent under this Section 5.12(e).
(f) If a Change of Control Transaction or an Assets Sale occurs following the Closing but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, Fiserv agrees that it will enter into an agreement with the Company or the buyer of the Company or other members of the Company Group or their respective assets, as applicable, the effect of which will be to maintain in effect the provisions of this Section 5.12 on the same terms and conditions contained herein.
(g) Any payment pursuant to Section 5.12(b) shall be (i) made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three Business Days after the delivery of the Receivables Certificate by the Trident Investors to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Company and (ii) treated as an adjustment to the purchase price payable by Newco to FISH under this Agreement for Tax reporting purposes to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

The foregoing shall not prevent the Trident Investors, Holdco or Newco from seeking equitable relief in connection with this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 8.13. The Limited Guaranty (only to the extent reflected therein) and the provision of this paragraph of Section 6.1, Section 6.2, and Article VIII, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6.2. Termination Fees.
(a) In the event that (i) the Sellers shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) and at the time of such termination there is no state of facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 not to be satisfied on the End Date assuming the Closing was scheduled on the End Date or (ii) the Sellers shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.1(b)(i) or 6.1(d)(i) because Trident FISG Lender LLC shall have not funded its loan to Newco under the Bridge Credit Facility on or prior to the End Date and there is no state of facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected, or would reasonably have been expected, to cause all of the conditions in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 and all of the conditions to Trident FISG Lender LLCs obligations under the Bridge Credit Facility to make the loan provided for therein not to be satisfied on the End Date, assuming the Closing was scheduled on the End Date, then the Trident Investors shall pay to FISV a termination fee of $23,000,000 in cash (the Termination Fee), it being understood that

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 6.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Sellers or the Trident Investors, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee is payable for the 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, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
7.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement or any other Schedule, certificate, instrument or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any examination by or on behalf of the parties hereto and the Closing until the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2.6 and 3.2.15 shall survive until 60 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations periods (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) applicable to the matters referred to in such Sections; and
64
provided, further, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.2.1 (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2.1(c)(ii) and Section 3.2.1(c)(iii)), 3.2.2, the second sentence of 3.2.12(b), 3.2.18 and 3.2.21 and the representations and warranties of the Trident Investors contained in Sections 3.3.1 (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.3.1(d)(ii) and Section 3.3.1(d)(iii)), 3.3.5 and 3.3.6 shall survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely. Any and all other covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive until performed pursuant to the terms hereof or waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any covenant, representation or warranty as to which a claim shall have been instituted prior to the applicable expiration date as herein provided shall continue to survive until such claim has been finally decided, settled or adjudicated, but only with respect to such claim.
7.2. Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) The Trident Investors and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 7.3(a) will not be entitled to make a claim against the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.3(a) with respect to any Taxes to the extent that they are permitted to make a claim for such Taxes under Section 7.5(a). In addition, the Trident Investors and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 7.3(a) will not be entitled to make a claim against the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.3(a) with respect to clause (i) of Section 7.3(a) (except in so far as such claim relates to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2.1 (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2.1(c)(iii)), 3.2.2, 3.2.6, the second sentence of 3.2.12(b), 3.2.15, 3.2.18, 3.2.20 or 3.2.21) (the Limited Claims), unless and until the aggregate amount of claims which may be asserted for Indemnifiable Losses (as defined below) pursuant to Sections 7.3(a) by the Trident Investors and such indemnified parties with respect to all such Limited Claims taken together exceeds $500,000 (the Deductible Amount); provided that the aggregate liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.3(a) with respect to all such Limited Claims shall not exceed $50,000,000 (the Cap). For the avoidance of doubt, once the aggregate amount of claims asserted for Indemnifiable Losses by the Trident Investors and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 7.3(a) with respect to Limited Claims exceeds the Deductible Amount, the Trident Investors and such indemnified parties shall be entitled to payment for such Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII only to the extent such Indemnified Losses exceed the Deductible Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Deductible Amount and the Cap shall not apply with respect to any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2.1 (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2.1(c)(iii)), 3.2.2, 3.2.6, the second sentence of 3.2.12(b), 3.2.15, 3.2.18, 3.2.20 and 3.2.21 and the matters set forth in Section 7.5 and clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 7.3(a), and any of such representations and warranties and matters will not be considered in determining whether Indemnified Losses have exceeded the Deductible Amount or the Cap.
65
(b) Neither the Sellers nor any other Indemnified Party referred to in Section 7.3(b) will be entitled to make a claim against the Trident Investors pursuant to Section 7.3(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of claims which may be asserted for Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7.3(b)(i) by the Sellers and such indemnified parties taken together exceeds the Deductible Amount, and the aggregate liability of the Trident Investors pursuant to Section 7.3(b)(i) shall not exceed the Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, once the aggregate amount of claims asserted for Indemnifiable Losses by the Sellers and any other indemnified parties referred to in Section 7.3(b)(i) exceeds the Deductible Amount, the Sellers and such indemnified parties shall be entitled to payment for such Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII only to the extent such Indemnified Losses exceed the Deductible Amount.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, Indemnifiable Losses means any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, deficiencies, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Partys outside counsel or other advisors and court costs and the other reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party), whether or not resulting from a Third-Party Claim.
(d) To the extent provided herein, the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses (including any liability for Taxes or payments in respect of Taxes) that gives rise to an indemnification payment to any party (an Indemnified Party) pursuant to Sections 7.3 or 7.5 shall be (without duplication) (i) increased by any Taxes (or payments in respect of Taxes) incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt of the indemnity payment (as increased pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)) and (ii) reduced by any decrease in Taxes (or payments in respect of Taxes) as a result of a Tax deduction or credit (a Tax Benefit) actually realized by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnifiable Losses during the taxable year in which such indemnification payment is made. A Tax Benefit that results from an event giving rise to the indemnity payment shall be considered actually realized by such Indemnified Party only to the extent that, but for such Tax Benefit, such Indemnified Partys Tax liability would be higher than it is with such Tax Benefit (e.g., deductions, credits or losses of such Indemnified Party that do not result from the event giving rise to the indemnity payment shall be deemed to be used prior to the use of any deduction, credit or loss that does result from the event giving rise to the indemnity payment). The amount of any increase, reduction or payment hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any final determination with respect to such Indemnified Partys liability for Taxes, and if necessary, payments shall be made between the parties to this Agreement to reflect such adjustment.
(e) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Indemnifiable Loss that any Indemnified Party asserts or is reasonably likely to assert under ARTICLE VII upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to such assertion.

7.4. Third-Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against a party indemnified pursuant to this Article VII (a Third-Party Claim), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify in writing the indemnifying party of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure of the Indemnified Party to notify promptly in writing the indemnifying party of such Third-Party Claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations pursuant to this Article VII except to the extent that the indemnifying party would be actually and materially prejudiced under this Article VII in any way as a result of such failure. Except with respect to Third-Party Claims relating to Taxes (which shall be governed by Section 7.5), the indemnifying party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at the indemnifying partys expense, the settlement or defense thereof, if (i) such Third-Party Claim involves only monetary damages and does not seek injunctive or other equitable relief, and (ii) the indemnifying party proceeds in good faith, expeditiously and diligently to defend such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party or parties electing to defend any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, including by providing reasonable access to the books, records and personnel of the Indemnified Party upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, without unreasonably interfering with the business and operations of the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party will not be required to disclose any privileged information of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates except as required by Applicable Law. An indemnifying party who has elected to defend a Third-Party Claim in accordance herewith shall permit the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided, that (except as provided below) the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, the indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Claim. If (i) the Third-Party Claim does not involve a Claim only for monetary damages, (ii) the indemnifying party does not serve on the Indemnified Party by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, a written notice of its intention to defend, (iii) the indemnifying party at any time fails to diligently prosecute or defend the Third Party Claim in good faith or does not commence to contest any matter within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of the existence of such matter, (iv) the indemnifying party disputes it is liable to the Indemnified Party for any sum pursuant to this Article VII, or (v) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party that would make separate representation advisable, then the Indemnified Party shall have full right and power to defend or otherwise deal with, settle and dispose of the matter (and, subject to Section 7.2, shall be indemnified for the fees and expenses of counsel retained for such purpose); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties will not enter into any settlement or pay (except
68
pursuant to a final court order or judgment) any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall have the right to pay or settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, provided that in such event, all relevant Indemnified Parties shall waive any right to indemnity in respect of such paid or settled Third Party Claim by the indemnifying party.
7.5. Tax Matters.
(a) Indemnity. Subject to Section 7.5(j), the Sellers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify the Company Group, Holdco, Newco, the Trident Investors, their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold such parties harmless from and against and in respect of, and shall on demand pay or reimburse the Company Group, Holdco, Newco, the Trident Investors, their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, for, any and all Indemnifiable Losses for or in respect of Taxes (together with any related Indemnifiable Losses):
(i) which are imposed on, attributable to, or payable by, any member of the Company Group with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest, penalty or additions to tax accruing after the Closing Date on any Taxes for which the Sellers are liable under this Section 7.5(a)(i)),
(ii) of any member of the Company Group (A) arising under the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) by virtue of any member of the Company Group having been a member of a consolidated, affiliated, combined or unitary group prior to the Closing, (B) arising under any contractual obligation entered into on or prior to the Closing (other than this Agreement) in respect of a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date or (C) being a transferee or successor of any other Person on or prior to the Closing,
(iii) arising from or attributable to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made in Section 3.2.6,
(iv) arising as a result of any inclusion under Section 951(a) of the Code (or any similar or corresponding provision of state or local Tax law) with respect to a member of the Company Group that is or was treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes attributable to (A) subpart F income, within the meaning of Section 952
69
of the Code (or any similar or corresponding provision of state or local Tax Law), received or accrued on or prior to the Closing Date or (B) the holding of United States property, within the meaning of Section 956 of the Code (or any similar or corresponding provision of state or local Tax Law), on or prior to the Closing Date,
(v) arising from or attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or
(vi) arising from any adjustment under Section 481 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) that is attributable to the manner in which any item was reported for a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing;
provided that, with respect to Taxes other than Income Taxes, the Sellers shall be required only to indemnify for Taxes arising prior to the Closing Date to the extent that such Taxes, individually or in the aggregate, exceed the Company Groups accrued and unpaid liability for current Taxes payable set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet, provided, further, that any such amounts accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet shall be reflected in the calculations of Closing Working Capital.
The parties agree that the Company Group shall be deemed, for the purpose of the Sellers obligation under this Section 7.5(a), not to have the benefit of any net operating loss, net capital loss or other tax credit or benefit that is attributable to, arising from or relating to any taxable period (or portion thereof) commencing after the Closing Date.
(b) Straddle Tax Period Apportionment. In the case of any Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the Pre-Closing Date Tax Period shall be deemed to be: (i) in the case of any property Tax, the amount of such Tax for the Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Tax Period on or prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of all days in the entire Straddle Tax Period; and (ii) in the case of any Tax (other than any property Tax), the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.
(c) Responsibility for Tax Return Preparation.
(i) Subject to Section 7.5(j), the Sellers shall prepare and, to the extent permitted by law, file, or cause to be prepared and, to the extent permitted by law, file, all Tax Returns required to be filed by any member of the Company Group after the Closing Date with respect to any Tax
70
period that actually ends on or before the Closing Date and all FISV Group Tax Returns.
(ii) Subject to Section 7.5(j), following the Closing, Holdco shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns for Straddle Tax Periods required to be filed by any member of the Company Group.
(iii) Each Tax Return described in Section 7.5(c)(i) or (ii) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, including as to Tax elections and Tax accounting methods, unless such inconsistency (x) could not have a material detrimental effect on the party not preparing such Tax Return, (ii) is required under any Transaction Document or (iii) is required by applicable law.
(iv) Each party responsible for the preparation of a Tax Return described in this Section 7.5(c)(i) or (ii) shall submit such Tax Return to the other party, as applicable, (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent required by such other party, supporting documentation) (x) with respect to any Income Tax Return, at least 40 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return and (y) with respect to any other Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 5 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return; provided that Sellers shall not be required to submit FISV Group Tax Return but shall be required to submit the relevant pro forma Tax Returns related to the Company Group. If such other party objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within 30 days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the party responsible for the preparation of such Tax Return in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items; provided that if the parties do not resolve such items, such items shall be submitted to the Tax Referee pursuant to Section 7.5(h). If an objection is not due, or is not resolved, with respect to any Tax Return at least one day prior to the due date therefor, such Tax Return shall be filed as originally prepared and subsequently amended to reflect the final resolution of such dispute.
(v) The Sellers consolidated federal income Tax Return for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date shall be filed in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-76(b)(2)(i) and 1.1502-76(b)(2)(vi) (determined using the closing of the books method), with no election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D).
71
(d) Refunds. Any refund (including interest paid thereon, to the extent received by the Company Group), paid or credited to the Company Group with respect to a Tax period that actually ends on or prior to the Closing Date shall be for the Sellers account, except for any such refund that (x) is attributable to any post-Closing deduction, loss, credit or similar benefit or (y) has been reflected in the calculations of Closing Working Capital. The portion of any refund (including interest paid thereon, to the extent received by the Company Group) paid or credited to the Company Group and attributable to the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Tax Period shall be for Sellers account, except for any refund that (x) is attributable to any post-Closing deduction, loss, credit or similar benefit or (y) has been reflected in the calculations of Closing Working Capital. All other refunds shall be for Holdcos account. Holdco or its Affiliates (including the Company Group) shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Sellers the amount of any refund that is for Sellers account, within five days after receipt thereof by Holdco or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group). Any such payment shall be net of any incremental cost incurred by or Tax imposed on Holdco or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) in connection with receipt of such refund, and the Sellers shall, to the extent necessary, reimburse Holdco or the applicable member of the Company Group for any such incremental cost or Tax. If the Sellers determine that any member of the Company Group is entitled to file or make a formal or informal claim for a refund or an amended Tax Return providing for a refund with respect to a Tax period that actually ends on or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall be entitled to file or make such claim or amended Tax Return on behalf of the applicable member of the Company Group and shall control the prosecution of such refund claim (so long as such refund is for the account of the Sellers), provided that Holdco shall have rights similar to those under Section 7.5(c) with respect to such claim. The parties shall cooperate in making a formal or informal claim for any refund attributable to a Straddle Tax Period.
(e) Amended Returns. Except to the extent required by law, Holdco shall not permit any member of the Company Group to file any amended Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Date Tax Period without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(f) Records, Etc. The Sellers shall retain, or cause to be retained, all of their Tax and accounting books and records (including all computerized books and records, and any such information stored on any other form of media) relating to the Company Group relevant for Taxes for all Pre-Closing Date Tax Periods and Straddle Tax Periods until the applicable period for assessment under applicable law, including assessments regarding the utilization of Tax losses and credits generated during a Pre-Closing Date Tax Period or Straddle Tax Period
72
(giving effect to any and all extensions or waivers) has expired (Retention Period), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority. The Sellers agree to give Holdco and the Company Group reasonable notice of the opportunity to receive such books and records after such Retention Period, prior to discarding or destroying any such books and records.
(g) Loss Disallowance Rule. If (i) Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36 becomes effective in its current form as of the date hereof or in a form substantially similar to its current form as of the date hereof (as so effective, the New LDR Rules), (ii) the New LDR Rules are applicable to any transfer (or deemed transfer) of shares of any member of the Company Group and (iii) the New LDR Rules permit any election (or protective election) to reduce the Tax basis in the shares of a first-tier member of the Company Group in order to prevent any reduction of any asset Tax basis or other attributes of any member of the Company Group, then the Sellers shall make such election. The parties further agree to take such commercially reasonable actions as are required to give effect to the intent of the parties that the Tax basis and Tax attributes of the member of the Company Group be preserved to the maximum extent permitted by law even if such preservation requires a reduction or disallowance of any loss otherwise available to the Sellers.
(h) Tax Disputes. If, after negotiating in good faith, Newco, the Trident Investors and the Sellers are unable to reach an agreement relating to any Tax matter under this Article VII, the dispute shall be submitted to a nationally recognized law firm (the Tax Referee), chosen and mutually acceptable to both parties within 30 Business Days of the date on which the need to select such a Tax Referee arises. The Tax Referee shall resolve any disputed items within 30 Business Days of having the item referred to it, pursuant to such procedures as it may require. The parties shall promptly act to implement the decision of the Tax Referee. The fees and expenses of the Tax Referee shall be borne by each party to the extent the position of the other party is upheld by the Tax Referee.
(i) Tax Sharing Agreements. The Sellers shall cause all tax allocation agreements as to which any member of the Company Group and any Seller or any affiliate of Seller (other than the members of the Company Group) is party to be terminated prior to the Closing and no payments shall accrue or be made under any such agreement following the Closing.
(j) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by the Trident Investors and 50% by the Sellers. The Sellers shall file, or shall cause to be filed, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all Tax Returns as may be required to comply with the provisions of such Tax laws relating to Transfer Taxes. The Trident Investors and, following the Closing, Holdco shall cooperate with the
73
Sellers in connection with all such filings and shall file (or cause the Company to file) those Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes that the Sellers are not permitted to file.
