THE MERGER

 

Section 1.1 THE MERGER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with Delaware Law and Florida Law, at the Effective Time, Tempus shall be merged with and into the Company, the Company shall be the surviving entity (sometimes called the “Surviving Company”) in such Merger, and the separate existence of Tempus shall thereupon cease.

 

Section 1.2 EFFECTIVE TIME.

      (ii) The officers of the Company at the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Company and shall hold office from the Effective Time until removed or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement of the Surviving Company, or as otherwise provided by Delaware Law.

TREATMENT OF SHARES

 

Section 2.1 CONVERSION OF SHARES.

 

(a) At the Effective Time and subject to Section 2.6, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of Tempus Common Stock that is issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive (i) that number of shares of QuadraMed Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Rate, and (ii) that amount of cash equal to the Cash Exchange Rate. The aggregate amount of cash paid to each Shareholder in respect of all of such Shareholder’s shares of Tempus Common Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. Schedule 2.1(a) sets forth the calculation of the Stock Exchange Rate and the Cash Exchange Rate.

 

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each ownership unit of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and continue as one ownership unit of the Surviving Company and shall constitute the only outstanding equity interests of the Surviving Company.

 

3


Section 2.2 MERGER CONSIDERATION AND TIMING.

 

(a) Subject to the adjustment contemplated by Section 2.3, the aggregate merger consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) shall consist of (i) $5,800,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 2,558,824 shares of QuadraMed Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”).

 

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing shall occur simultaneously. All actions to be taken at the Closing and all documents and instruments executed and delivered at the Closing, including without limitation this Agreement, will be considered taken, delivered, or made simultaneously, and such actions and deliveries will not be considered effective until all actions incident to the Closing are completed.

 

Section 2.3 ADJUSTMENT TO MERGER CONSIDERATION.

 

(a) The Cash Consideration will be adjusted, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.3(f) and 2.3(g) (the “Adjustment Amount”). At or before Closing, Tempus shall deliver to QuadraMed (i) a balance sheet of Tempus as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and which will be reviewed by KPMG LLP in accordance with agreed upon procedures (which shall be reflected in a written report by KPMG LLP to be delivered no later than 45 days after the Closing Date), (ii) a statement of the calculation of Net Cash and Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, as determined from the Closing Balance Sheet, and (iii) a statement of the calculation of the resulting Adjustment Amount, if any (collectively, the “Adjustment Documents”).

 

(b) QuadraMed and the Shareholders’ Representative shall have full and complete access to the work papers, schedules or other documents prepared by or on behalf of Tempus in connection with the preparation of the Adjustment Documents. QuadraMed and the Shareholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully with respect to furnishing all information and documents reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of the Adjustment Documents. QuadraMed and Tempus acknowledge that they have consulted each other in connection with the preparation of the Adjustment Documents.

 

(c) If QuadraMed disputes the correctness of the Adjustment Documents provided to QuadraMed, QuadraMed shall notify the Shareholders’ Representative in writing of its objections (the “Objection Notice”) within 30 days after its receipt of the Adjustment Documents. The Objection Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the reasons for QuadraMed’s objections. If QuadraMed fails to deliver an Objection Notice within such 30-day period, QuadraMed shall be deemed to have accepted the Adjustment Documents, which shall be final and binding on the parties. If, however, QuadraMed delivers an Objection Notice within such 30-day period, the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any disputed items within 30 days after the date of the Shareholders’

 

4


Representative’s receipt of the Objection Notice. If QuadraMed and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any items in dispute relating to the Adjustment Documents within such 30-day period, QuadraMed and the Shareholders’ Representative shall submit the Objection Notice to an Accounting Firm mutually agreed upon by QuadraMed and the Shareholders’ Representative (or, if QuadraMed and the Shareholders’ Representative cannot agree on such an Accounting Firm, then each shall select an Accounting Firm and such Accounting Firms shall select a third Accounting Firm) (the Accounting Firm mutually agreed upon by the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed or such other Accounting Firms being the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve all items remaining in dispute, and the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in respect of such items shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed by the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed to prepare and deliver, within 30 days after its appointment, to the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed, after resolving any items in dispute between the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed, a balance sheet of Tempus as of the Closing Date reflecting its resolution of all issues in dispute and a statement of the calculation of Net Working Capital and Net Cash as of the Closing Date determined therefrom. The Independent Accounting Firm shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Independent Accounting Firm shall be the sole recourse and remedy of the parties against one another or any other Person with respect to, any disputes arising out of or relating to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Balance Sheet. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and shall be enforceable in a court of law.

 

(d) The Closing Balance Sheet, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c) (whether by failure of QuadraMed to deliver an Objection Notice, by the agreement of the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed, or by the final determination of the Independent Accounting Firm) shall be deemed to be, and shall be referred to herein, as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet.”

 

(e) The Shareholders shall bear, and be solely responsible for, all of the costs and expenses incurred by Tempus or the Shareholders (including the fees and costs of KPMG LLP and their other Representatives) in connection with the preparation of the Adjustment Documents. QuadraMed shall bear, and be responsible for, the costs and expenses incurred by QuadraMed (including the fees and expenses of its Representatives) in connection with its review of the Adjustment Documents. If the Independent Accounting Firm is engaged, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to allocate and account for its fees and out-of-pocket expenses as such fees and expenses relate to each of the disputed matters that are submitted to it for resolution. Promptly following the time that matters submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm have been resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm or have been settled among the parties, the Independent Accounting Firm shall determine the manner in which its fees and expenses should be allocated and paid as between the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed taking into account the relationship between the manner in which the disputed matters have been finally settled or resolved and the position each party took initially with respect to the matters when the matters were originally submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution. The Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed shall pay the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with the manner in which they are allocated by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(f) If Net Cash as of the Closing Date is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.3 to be less than $500,000, each Shareholder shall be severally responsible for paying to QuadraMed such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of the amount by which Net Cash is less than $500,000. In addition, if Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.3 to be less than $2,309,000 (assuming Net Cash equals $500,000), each Shareholder shall be severally responsible for paying to QuadraMed such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of the amount by which Net Working Capital is less than $2,309,000. The cash payment to QuadraMed with respect to each Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of any Adjustment Amount shall be made first from such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of the Escrow Cash. If a Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of Escrow Cash is insufficient to pay in full such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of any Adjustment Amount, such Shareholder shall be severally responsible (based on its Applicable Percentage) for the excess. In such case, each such Shareholder shall pay to QuadraMed its Applicable Percentage of such excess by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds within five days of the date on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet has been finally determined.

 

(g) If Net Cash as of the Closing Date is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.3 to be greater than $500,000, QuadraMed, within five days of the date on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet has been finally determined, shall pay to the Shareholder’s Representative an amount equal to the amount by which Net Cash is greater than $500,000 (the “Refund Amount”). The Shareholder’s Representative shall distribute the Refund Amount to the Shareholders (based on each Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage) within five days of the receipt from QuadraMed of the Refund Amount.

 

(h) The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall not limit or modify any other rights or remedies available to the parties pursuant to this Agreement, under law or at equity except that QuadraMed may not recover twice for an Adjustment Amount and an indemnity claim for the same matter.

 

Section 2.4 ESCROW AMOUNT. On the Closing Date, QuadraMed shall deliver to the Bank of New York, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), 255,882 shares of QuadraMed Common Stock (the “Escrow Shares”) and cash in the amount of $580,000 (the “Escrow Cash” and, together with the Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Amount”) otherwise issuable or payable to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.2 to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent for a period of 15 months following the Closing Date pursuant to, and in accordance with, an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Amount shall secure the obligations of the Shareholders under Sections 11.2 and 12.3 hereof. Subject to the restrictions imposed under Section 2.7(c) hereof or by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Shareholders shall retain the right to sell or otherwise dispose of their respective Escrow Shares, provided, that such Escrow Shares may not be sold for less than their fair market value at the time of such sale (which shall equal the then current trading price of such shares at the time of sale) and the consideration received in exchange for such Escrow Shares will be held in escrow in place of such Escrow Shares so long as such Escrow Shares could otherwise have been held in escrow under the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.5 MECHANICS OF EXCHANGE.

 

(a) At the Effective Time and subject to Section 2.4 and the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, each Shareholder shall be entitled to surrender the certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Tempus Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive cash and shares of QuadraMed Common Stock to QuadraMed for cancellation in exchange for cash and shares of QuadraMed Common Stock into which such shares of Tempus Common Stock have been converted by virtue of the Merger, less such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Escrow Amount. It shall be a condition of payment that the Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer to QuadraMed. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate will represent from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive the number of shares of QuadraMed Common Stock and cash into which such shares of Tempus Common Stock shall have been so converted. Upon the surrender to QuadraMed by a Shareholder of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.5, QuadraMed shall immediately tender to the Shareholder the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration into which such shares of Tempus Common Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted by virtue of the Merger, less such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Escrow Amount. The Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration tendered to a Shareholder upon the surrender of a Certificate for exchange of the shares of Tempus Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Tempus Common Stock.

 

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Tempus of Tempus Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates formerly representing Tempus Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Company for payment, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash and shares of QuadraMed Common Stock into which the shares of Tempus Common Stock represented thereby were converted in the Merger.

 

(c) The Company and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Cash Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to a Shareholder such amounts, if any, as the Company or the Surviving Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, but only to the extent such amounts are properly tendered to the appropriate Governmental Body in compliance with the Code or applicable Legal Requirement, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Each party acknowledges that, to such party’s Knowledge, at the time of execution of this Agreement such party was not aware of any requirement to deduct and withhold any amount under this Section 2.5(c).

 

7


(d) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Shareholder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, QuadraMed will issue or cause to be issued the amount of Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration into which such shares of Tempus Common Stock have been converted by virtue of the Merger, less such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Escrow Amount, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate. When authorizing such issuance in exchange therefor, QuadraMed may, in its reasonable, good faith discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require such Shareholder to give QuadraMed a bond in an appropriate and reasonable sum as it may direct as indemnity or such other form of indemnity, as it shall reasonably direct, against any Claim that may be made against QuadraMed with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

(e) If any certificate for QuadraMed Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange shall (i) pay to QuadraMed any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for shares of QuadraMed Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or (ii) establish to the satisfaction of QuadraMed that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither QuadraMed nor any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Tempus Common Stock for any portion of the Merger Consideration or the cash payment for any fractional interests delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable escheat laws following the passage of time specified therein.

 

Section 2.6 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional share of QuadraMed Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. In lieu of fractional shares, the Shareholders upon surrender of their Certificates as set forth in Section 2.5 shall be paid an amount in cash, without interest, rounded down to the nearest whole cent, determined by multiplying the fractional interest to which such Shareholder would otherwise be entitled by the Share Value as of the Closing Date.

 

Section 2.7 REGISTRATION AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

 

(a) The shares of QuadraMed Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws.

 

(b) All certificates representing the QuadraMed Common Stock deliverable to the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement and any certificates subsequently issued with respect thereto or in substitution therefore shall bear a legend substantially as follows, in addition to any legend QuadraMed determines is required pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or the terms of this Agreement:

Subject to the next sentence, the representations and warranties of

 

46


each of Tempus, the Shareholders, the Company and QuadraMed and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by any Indemnified Party shall not be limited, diminished or otherwise affected by or as a result of any investigation or examination that may have or be made by any Indemnified Party, or any Representative of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no party hereto will have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) to any other party hereto with respect to any breach or alleged breach of a representation or warranty, if and to the extent that such other party hereto or its Representatives had actual knowledge of such breach or alleged breach at or before Closing.

 

Section 11.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY SHAREHOLDERS. Each Shareholder shall severally (based on such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage) indemnify and hold harmless QuadraMed, the Company, the Surviving Company and their respective officers, directors, Managers, employees, agents, and Affiliates (each, a “QuadraMed Indemnitee” and collectively, the “QuadraMed Indemnitees”) from and against any and all demands, suits, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, judgments, and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by a QuadraMed Indemnitee as a result of, arising out of or incident to any of the following:

 

(a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Tempus or any Shareholder set forth in any Transaction Agreement to which they are a party, or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements;

 

(b) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant, agreement, or obligation contained in any Transaction Agreement, or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements;

 

(c) any Claims of any broker or finder engaged by Tempus or any Shareholder, including but not limited to any and all Claims arising out of or relating to any Contract between Tempus and Aria Capital Advisors, LLC;

 

(d) any Claim of infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,301,105 or U.S. Patent No. 6,345,260 by Allcare Health Management Systems, Inc.; and/or

 

(e) any Claims arising out of any dispute among or between any of the Shareholders, including disputes with the Shareholders’ Representative, or by any Person (other than the Shareholder designated to receive it) asserting any right in or to the Merger Consideration.

(a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by QuadraMed or the Company set forth in any Transaction Agreement to which they are a party, or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements; or

 

47


(b) any breach or failure to perform any covenant, agreement, or obligation by QuadraMed or the Company contained in any Transaction Agreement to which they are a party, or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

 

Section 11.4 THIRD PERSON CLAIMS. Promptly after a QuadraMed Indemnitee or a Shareholder (an “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of or has Knowledge of any Claim by a person not a party to this Agreement (“Third Person”) or the commencement of any Proceeding by a Third Person that entitles such Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall, as a condition precedent to the Claim with respect thereto being made under this Article XI, give the Shareholder Representative or QuadraMed, as applicable, written notice of such Claim or the commencement of such Proceeding; provided, however that the failure to give such notice will not affect the Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification hereunder with respect to such Claim or Proceeding, except to the extent that the Shareholder, QuadraMed, or the Company (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 30 days from the receipt of the foregoing notice that it wishes to defend against the Claim by the Third Person, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Claim by appropriate proceedings with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense, at its sole expense, of any such Claim for which the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall act as lead counsel in all matters pertaining to the defense or settlement of such claims, suit or proceedings. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under Sections 11.2 or 11.3 for the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel for any periods during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of any Claim after notice of such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not make any settlement with respect to any such Claim or Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Claim by a Third Person or the commencement of any Proceeding by a Third Person if (a) such Claim or Proceeding relates to, could result in, or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding of an Indemnified Party or any officer or employee of the Indemnified Party; (b) such Claim or Proceeding could result in or cause a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Indemnified Party in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party; (c) such Claim or Proceeding is one which seeks principally injunctive or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or to the extent that the Claim or Proceeding does not seek injunctive or equitable relief, but a party has entered a motion seeking such relief; or (d) a court, Governmental Body, or other arbiter of the Claim or Proceeding rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to adequately protect the Indemnified Party’s interests, rights, or remedies.

 

Section 11.5 CALCULATION OF LOSSES. Although a representation, warranty, or covenant of any of the parties contained in the Transaction Agreements may not be deemed

 

48


breached, inaccurate or in default unless or until a certain standard as to “material,” “materiality,” or “Material Adverse Effect” has been met, for purposes of calculating Losses in connection with this Article XI, once such materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard has been met, and subject to any applicable limitations under Section 11.6, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of such breach, inaccuracy, or default of any such representation, warranty, or covenant without giving effect to any such standard.

 

Section 11.6 LIMITS ON INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

 

(a)

  (i) Following the Effective Time, the Shareholders shall have no obligation to indemnify any of the QuadraMed Indemnitees for Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for which any one or more of the QuadraMed Indemnitees would be entitled to indemnification equals or exceeds $300,000 (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders shall extend to the entire amount of such Losses, including Losses covered by the Basket Amount; provided, however, that the Shareholders shall have no obligation to indemnify any of the QuadraMed Indemnitees for any individual matter resulting in Losses of $10,000 or less (a “De Minimis Loss”), and no De Minimis Loss will be aggregated with other Losses or included in the Basket Amount regardless of whether or not the aggregate Losses exceed the Basket Amount;

 

  (ii) the maximum liability, in the aggregate, of a Shareholder for Losses based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of breaches of representations or warranties contained in Section 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.20, 3.25, 4.1 and 4.2 (“Specified Warranty Losses”) shall be the sum of (A) such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of the Cash Consideration and (B) the Stated Value of such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of the Stock Consideration, as such Stated Value may be determined with respect to such Shareholder’s portion of the Stock Consideration at each time at which an indemnification payment in respect of such a Loss is made; provided, however, that the maximum liability of each Shareholder, in the aggregate, in respect of all Losses (including both Specified Warranty Losses and Losses other than Specified Warranty Losses) shall not exceed such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of $13.5 million;

 

  (iii) the maximum liability, in the aggregate, of a Shareholder for Losses based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of Losses other than Specified Warranty Losses shall be the Stated Value of such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of the Stock Consideration, as such Stated Value may be determined with respect to such Shareholder’s portion of the Stock Consideration at each time at which an indemnification payment in respect

 

49


       of such a Loss is made; provided, however, that the maximum liability of each Shareholder, in the aggregate, in respect of Losses other than Specified Warranty Losses shall not exceed such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of $7.7 million; and

 

  (iv) with respect to any indemnification amount ultimately payable by the Shareholders as a group, for each Claim each Shareholder shall be liable only for such Shareholder’s Applicable Percentage of such indemnification amount.

 

(b) No Shareholder shall have any liability for another Shareholder’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement or another Shareholder’s breach of a representation or warranty under Article IV made by such other Shareholder or another Shareholder’s breach of covenants or obligations in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements.

 

(c) With respect to any indemnification amount ultimately payable by a Shareholder for Losses other than Specified Warranty Losses, each Shareholder shall pay such amount in the following order until the amount has been satisfied: first, by tendering Escrow Shares; and second, by tendering shares of QuadraMed Common Stock received as Stock Consideration; provided that, if tendering QuadraMed Common Stock would result in the percentage of Stock Consideration being less than forty-five percent (45%) of the Merger Consideration, then indemnification amounts shall be paid in a combination of cash and QuadraMed Common Stock that would result in the percentage of Stock Consideration being not less than forty-five percent (45%) of the Merger Consideration. With respect to any indemnification amount ultimately payable by a Shareholder for Specified Warranty Losses, each Shareholder shall pay such amount in the following order until the amount has been satisfied: first, by tendering Escrow Shares; second, by tendering Escrow Cash; and third, by tendering shares of QuadraMed Common Stock received as Stock Consideration; provided that, if tendering QuadraMed Common Stock would result in the percentage of Stock Consideration being less than forty five percent (45%) of the Merger Consideration, then indemnification amounts shall be paid in a combination of cash and QuadraMed Common Stock that would result in the percentage of Stock Consideration being not less than forty-five percent (45%) of the Merger Consideration.

 

(d) With respect to any indemnification amount payable by tendering Escrow Shares and/or shares of QuadraMed Common Stock, the number of shares to be so tendered shall be determined by dividing (i) such indemnification amount by (ii) the Stated Value. In the event that the Shareholder had previously sold or otherwise disposed of the shares, the Shareholder shall, in lieu of tendering those shares, tender an amount of cash equal to the number of shares otherwise due under the preceding sentence multiplied by the applicable Stated Value. In the event that the Shareholder had sold shares in multiple lots at varying prices, the amount of cash to be tendered with respect to such shares shall be determined on a weighted average basis. For illustrative purposes only, an example with respect to the foregoing is set forth on Schedule 11.6(d).

 

(e) Following the Effective Time, QuadraMed shall have no obligation to indemnify any of the Shareholders for Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for which any one or more of the Shareholders would otherwise be entitled to indemnification equals or

 

50


exceeds the Basket Amount, in which case QuadraMed’s indemnification obligation shall extend to the entire amount of such Losses, including Losses covered by the Basket Amount; provided, however, that QuadraMed shall have no obligation to indemnify any of the Shareholders for any De Minimis Loss, and no De Minimis Loss will be aggregated with other Losses or included in the Basket Amount regardless of whether or not the aggregate Losses exceed the Basket Amount.

 

(f) QuadraMed’s maximum liability for all Losses shall be $13.5 million.

 

(g) If a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final adjudication that a breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement resulted from the fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or criminal conduct of any party to this Agreement, the limitations on indemnification as set forth in Sections 11.6(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) and 11.6(e) and (f) shall not apply to that party’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

 

(h) The amount of any Loss payable by a party shall be reduced by (i) any amount received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses under any insurance coverage or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the amount of any Tax benefit available to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Losses. Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage or from another party alleged to have responsibility. If an Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance coverage or from the other party with respect to Losses at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to the amount received by the Indemnifying Party.

 

(h) No party hereto shall have any obligation to indemnify any other party hereto for incidental, consequential, exemplary, special, or punitive damages.

 

(i) Each party acknowledges and agrees that the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Claims arising under this Agreement (other than Claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or criminal conduct) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI and in Section 12.3 and will be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.6, to the extent applicable. Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement will be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to the liability constituting the breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

 

Section 11.7 SHAREHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE.

 

(a) Each Shareholder irrevocably authorizes, directs and appoints S. Mark Hand (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) to act as sole and exclusive agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of such Person and such Person’s heirs, representatives and successors to (i) take any and all actions (including without limitation executing and delivering any documents), incurring any costs and expenses for the account of the Shareholders, and making any and all

 

51


determinations that may be required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholders in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation, all decisions relating to (A) the defense, settlement, or both of any Claims for which a QuadraMed Indemnitee may claim to be entitled to indemnification under this Article XI, (B) the Escrow Agreement, (C) the amendment or termination of this Agreement, and (D) any adjustment to the Merger Consideration contemplated by Section 2.3; and (ii) exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental to the foregoing. Any actions, exercises of rights, power or authority and any decisions or determinations made by the Shareholders’ Representative shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on each Shareholder as if each such Person personally had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in such Person’s individual capacity.

 

(b) With respect to the matters covered by or related to this Agreement, (i) each Shareholder irrevocably relinquishes its right to act independently and other than through the Shareholders’ Representative with respect to such subject matter (except with respect to appointment of a successor Shareholders’ Representative), (ii) no Shareholder shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding against Tempus, QuadraMed, the Company or the Surviving Company or the Escrow Agent with respect to any such matter, any such right being irrevocably and exclusively delegated to the Shareholders’ Representative who may act on their behalf, (iii) each Shareholder shall be deemed to have waived any claims such Shareholder may have or assert, including those that may arise in the future, against the Shareholders’ Representative for any action or inaction taken or not taken by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection herewith, except such action or inaction as may result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Shareholders’ Representative, and (iv) the Shareholders hereby severally agree to indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative against, and hold him harmless from, any and all expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs, losses, costs, arbitration, tax liability and loss on investments suffered or incurred in connection with or arising from or out of this Agreement, except such acts or omissions as may result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Shareholders’ Representative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any notice hereunder delivered to QuadraMed or a QuadraMed Indemnitee by a Shareholder other than through the Shareholders’ Representative shall be of no effect, and each notice delivered by QuadraMed or any other QuadraMed Indemnitee to the Shareholders’ Representative shall be effective as against each Shareholder; provided, that QuadraMed and the other QuadraMed Indemnitees may elect at their sole discretion to give effect to any notice delivered by any Shareholder.

 

(c) The Shareholders’ Representative may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days notice by submitting a written resignation to QuadraMed, with copies to all other Shareholders at their addresses on the stock books of Tempus. In the event of the death, physical or mental incapacity or resignation of the Shareholders’ Representative, the Shareholders shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of notice of such event) appoint a successor Shareholders’ Representative.

 

52


Section 11.8 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS .

 

(a) Tempus and each Shareholder acknowledge and agree that each has not relied on forward-looking statements (which shall have the same meaning as is set forth in Section 21E of the Exchange Act) for the purposes of executing this Agreement and approving the Merger and that neither QuadraMed nor the Company nor any Representative thereof shall have any liability to Tempus or any Shareholder with respect to any such forward-looking information. Tempus and each Shareholder further acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any forward-looking statements relating to QuadraMed, contained in this Agreement or in any materials or information furnished by or on behalf of QuadraMed to Tempus, the Shareholders, or their Representatives or in any filings made by QuadraMed with the SEC or otherwise, are based upon the current expectations of QuadraMed, and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to the operations, results of operations, competitive factors, shifts in market demand, and other risks and uncertainties of QuadraMed. While QuadraMed believes that the assumptions underlying any such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these forward-looking statements are only predictions, and neither QuadraMed nor the Company can provide any assurance that such assumptions are accurate or that their expectations will prove to be correct. In light of the uncertainties inherent in any forward-looking statements, no party hereto nor any other Person should consider the inclusion of such statements as a representation by QuadraMed or the Company that either will achieve the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

 

(b) QuadraMed and the Company acknowledge and agree that each has not relied on forward-looking statements (which shall have the same meaning as is set forth in Section 21E of the Exchange Act) for the purposes of executing this Agreement and approving the Merger and that neither Tempus nor any Shareholder nor any Representative thereof shall have any liability to QuadraMed or the Company with respect to any such forward-looking information. QuadraMed and the Company further acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any forward-looking statements relating to Tempus, contained in this Agreement or in any materials or information furnished by or on behalf of Tempus or any Shareholder to QuadraMed, the Company, or their Representatives or in any filings made by Tempus, are based upon the current expectations of Tempus, and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to the operations, results of operations, competitive factors, shifts in market demand, and other risks and uncertainties of Tempus. While Tempus believes that the assumptions underlying any such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these forward-looking statements are only predictions, and neither Tempus nor any Shareholder can provide any assurance that such assumptions are accurate or that their expectations will prove to be correct. In light of the uncertainties inherent in any forward-looking statements, no party hereto nor any other Person should consider the inclusion of such statements as a representation by Tempus or any Shareholder that either will achieve the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

 

ARTICLE XII

 

POST-CLOSING PERIOD TAX COVENANTS

 

Section 12.1 PREPARATION OF TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENT. QuadraMed shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tempus

 

53


Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods where such Returns have not been filed as of the Closing Date; provided, that to the extent the Shareholders have an indemnification obligation under Article XI or this Article XII with respect to Taxes reflected on such Returns, (i) such Returns shall be provided to the Shareholders’ Representative in draft form for review no later than 22 business days before filing, (ii) within eight business days after receiving such Returns the Shareholders’ Representative shall have an opportunity to raise reasonable, good faith objections to any positions taken on such Returns that could impact the Shareholders’ indemnification obligation under Article XI or this Article XII, (iii) if the Shareholders’ Representative so objects then the parties shall reasonably consult as to such positions and (iv) QuadraMed’s positions will be reflected on such Returns as filed only if prior to filing or within a reasonable period of time thereafter QuadraMed provides the Shareholders’ Representative with a written opinion addressed to the Shareholders’ Representative of its Tax counsel or accountants confirming that either (a) there is substantial authority under then current Legal Requirements and no substantial authority under then current Legal Requirements for Tempus’s past practice for any such Tax positions on such Returns that represent a change from Tempus’s past practice, or (b) there is a reasonable basis under then current Legal Requirements for any such Tax positions on such Returns that are consistent with Tempus’s past practice or which Tempus has not had to address in the past. QuadraMed and the Shareholders shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the legal or accounting fees associated with obtaining such an opinion.

 

Section 12.2 TAX PROCEEDINGS. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, QuadraMed shall receive notice of a Tax Proceeding (whether such Tax Proceeding will be conducted in person, by telephone or otherwise), or any inquiries or requests for information from any Governmental Body, with respect to Tempus for a Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to which the Shareholders would have an indemnification obligation under Article XI or this Article XII, QuadraMed shall promptly notify the Shareholders’ Representative of such Tax Proceeding, provided that the failure of QuadraMed to give such notice shall not relieve the Shareholders of their indemnification obligations under Article XI or this Article XII, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of the Shareholders. Furthermore, QuadraMed shall afford the Shareholders’ Representative, at the Shareholders’ expense, the opportunity to control the conduct of the Tax Proceeding. QuadraMed shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, execute or cause to be executed powers of attorney or other documents necessary to enable the Shareholders’ Representative to take all actions desired by the Shareholders’ Representative with respect to such Tax Proceeding to the extent such Tax Proceeding may affect the amount of Taxes for which the Shareholders are liable pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders’ Representative shall not agree to any settlement concerning Taxes for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that would result in an increase in Taxes for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of QuadraMed, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

 

Section 12.3 TAX INDEMNIFICATION. The Shareholders shall severally indemnify the Surviving Company and QuadraMed and hold them harmless from and against, any Losses, Claims, or Liabilities attributable to (i) all Taxes of Tempus for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent the payment of such Taxes has not been reflected or reserved on the financial statements of Tempus as of the Closing Date; (ii) any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.17; and (iii) the failure by the Shareholders

 

54


to perform, or the breach by the Shareholders of, any Tax covenant made by the Shareholders in this Agreement, including this Article XII. Without limiting the foregoing, the Tax liabilities of, or attributable to, Tempus with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall include all interest, penalties and additions to Taxes, whether accruing for periods before, on or after the Closing Date. The Shareholders shall reimburse QuadraMed for any Taxes of Tempus that are the responsibility of the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 12.3 within five days after written demand therefor but not earlier than the date of payment of such Taxes by QuadraMed or the Surviving Company.

 

Section 12.4 COOPERATION ON TAX MATTERS.

 

(a) QuadraMed and the Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Returns that include the business and operations of Tempus, to the extent such Returns are covered by this Article XII and any Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Shareholders and QuadraMed shall, and QuadraMed shall cause the Surviving Company to (A) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Tempus relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extension thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Body, and (B) to give the other 30 days written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if QuadraMed so requests, the Shareholders shall allow QuadraMed to take possession of such books and records, and, if the Shareholders so request, QuadraMed shall provide the Shareholders with copies of such books and records; and

 

(b) QuadraMed and the Shareholders further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

 

Section 12.5 SHAREHOLDERS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR CERTAIN TAXES.

Section 12.6 TAX MATTERS. In the case of any Straddle Period (i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of Tempus for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) the Taxes of Tempus for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Shareholders shall not indemnify and hold harmless any of the QuadraMed Indemnitees from any liability for Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods attributable to any action taken after the Closing (which action causes the Shareholders to incur Tax liability it otherwise would not have incurred) by QuadraMed, the Surviving Company, any of their affiliates or any transferee of QuadraMed or the Surviving Company, other than an action required by Legal Requirement (as determined by an accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Shareholders’ Representative and QuadraMed if they are unable to agree in good faith whether an action is required by Legal Requirement) or attributable to a breach by QuadraMed of any covenant relating to Taxes contained in this Agreement. The Shareholders’ responsibility under this Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the QuadraMed Indemnities against, or to pay or cause to be paid, any Taxes shall not include any such responsibility with respect to any Taxes collected or withheld by Tempus (including, without limitation, all sales and use taxes and all withholding or employment taxes) with respect to events occurring through the Closing Date, which are held by the Surviving Company immediately after the Closing Date.
