(v) With respect to any payments pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Optionholder or to any Company Stockholder in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock that were issued as a result of the exercise of an Option in connection with this Agreement for which the required withholding has not been made (other than payments from the Escrow Amount), at Closing the Parent shall cause the amount payable to the Company Optionholders and to the foregoing Company Stockholders, who have delivered their properly completed and validly executed Securityholders Documentation to the Parent by Closing, (including the amount of Taxes to be withheld in connection with such payment but net of the amount to be deposited in the Escrow Amount at Closing) to be deposited with the Company’s payroll processor to be subsequently paid by such payroll processor to the Company Optionholders and such Company Stockholders. The Company shall have arranged with its payroll processor prior to Closing for the distribution of such applicable net amounts payable (net of Taxes to be withheld) to each Company Optionholder and the foregoing Company Stockholders through a special payroll to be effected as soon as practicable but in no event later than two (2) business days after the Closing, provided that if such special payroll cannot be processed, the Parent shall cause such payroll processor to make such payments as soon as practicable, but in no event later than by the Company’s next regularly scheduled payroll, in any such case, consistent with past practices, including accounting for all applicable withholding. The Company shall have instructed and shall cause the payroll processor to withhold and remit any Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Bodies. A similar procedure shall be implemented with respect to payments to be made to any such Company Stockholder or Company Optionholder who delivers its properly completed and validly executed Securityholders Documentation to the Parent after the Closing.

(b) If any payment for shares of Company Common Stock is to be made to a Person other than the person in whose name such certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the payment amount of any stock transfer or similar Taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder, transferee or otherwise) payable on account of the transfer to such Person shall be deducted from the amount paid by the Parent, or otherwise paid in full to the Parent, or the Parent may refuse to make payment of any portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration unless satisfactory evidence of any exemption from such Taxes is submitted.

The Parent or the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of any such lost, stolen or destroyed share certificate or agreement to give the Parent or Surviving Corporation a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may reasonably be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Until surrendered and exchanged in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11, each outstanding agreement or certificate representing an Option or Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be deemed for all purposes to evidence the right to receive the Option Consideration or Warrant Consideration into which the Option or Warrant theretofore evidenced by such certificate or agreement shall have been converted, as though such surrender and exchange had taken place. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock or agreements or certificates, representing Options or Warrants, are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

Section 2.13 Escrow. At the Closing, the Parent shall cause Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000) (the “Escrow Amount”) of the Merger Consideration to be deposited with Wells Fargo, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), to be held in escrow, in accordance with the provisions of an agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto which the Securityholders’ Representative, on behalf of itself and each of the Securityholders, and the Parent shall execute and deliver at the Closing.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Escrow Deposit Per Share” shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing the amount calculated under the first sentence of this Section 2.13 by the Company Common Stock Equivalents.

(a) No later than five (5) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare and submit to the Parent and Merger Sub a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) (subject to updating prior to the Closing as provided in Section 2.15(b)) of:

(i) the Aggregate Phantom Option Payment, together with the Persons entitled to a portion of such payment and the amount allocated to each such Person;

(ii) (A) the identity of each holder of shares of Company Common Stock and the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by each such holder thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the identity of each holder of an Option or Warrant and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option and Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, the exercise price and vesting schedule thereof, and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each such Option and Warrant that will be exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(iii) the Company’s calculation of (A) the Pro Rata Share for each Securityholder; (B) the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Closing Payment payable to each Securityholder; (C) the total indebtedness, if any, owed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by each Securityholder; and (D) any required Tax or other withholding with respect to each Securityholder;

which Allocation Schedule, when accepted by the Parent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld), shall be deemed to be the definitive calculation of the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Closing Payment applicable to each Securityholder, the Aggregate Phantom Option Payment and the portion of the Aggregate Phantom Option Payment allocated to each holder of a Phantom Option. The Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the Allocation Schedule in connection with the payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Closing Payment and the Aggregate Phantom Option Payment; provided, that, neither the Parent, nor Merger Sub, nor the Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for any inaccuracies in the Allocation Schedule.

(b) Concurrently with the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to the Parent and Merger Sub, the Company also shall deliver to the Parent, in such detail as shall be

 

19


reasonably acceptable to the Parent, all information on which the calculations set forth on the Allocation Schedule are based. If there are any changes between the date of delivery of the Allocation Schedule to the Parent and Merger Sub and the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver an updated Allocation Schedule to the Parent and Merger Sub setting forth the changes and any details relating thereto. When delivered to the Parent by the Company at the Closing, the Allocation Schedule shall be true and correct.

(c) Any adjustments to the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof for any Working Capital Adjustment shall be paid to the Securityholders or the Parent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 12.3.

Section 2.16 Withholding. Each of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement (i) such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provisions of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Legal Requirement, including, without limitation, any required tax withholding arising from the exercise, cashless or otherwise, of any Option or Warrant prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the amount of any outstanding loans (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon any other amounts in respect thereof) owed by such Person to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing. If the Parent or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, so withholds any such amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which the Parent or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding; provided, that the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall remit to the appropriate Governmental Body amounts withheld under clause (i) in the immediately preceding sentence. With respect to clause (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent such amounts withheld for such loans are less than the amount of the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Closing Payment payable to such Securityholder, such withheld amount shall be deemed to satisfy and discharge the respective loans owed by such holder to the Company or its Subsidiary, as the case may be.

Section 2.17 Appraisal Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Appraisal Share shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration provided for in Section 2.7, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Appraisal Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Appraisal Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL. After the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares as described in the immediately preceding sentence. If, after the Effective Time, any Appraisal Shares shall lose their status as Appraisal Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the applicable cash payable pursuant to Section 2.7 in respect of such shares as if such shares never

 

20


had been Appraisal Shares, and the Parent shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.11, the amount of cash to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under Section 2.7 and Section 2.11 as if such shares never had been Appraisal Shares. The Company shall give the Parent and Securityholders’ Representative prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company.

Section 2.18 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Without limiting any other obligation contained in this Agreement, the Company, the Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, shall take all such lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate, and coordinate with each other, in order to effectuate the Merger, the filing of the Certificate of Merger and the additional transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing and at the Effective Time. In case at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full title to all assets, rights, privileges, powers, immunities, purposes and franchises of each of the Merger Constituent Companies, the officers and directors of such corporation shall take all such lawful and necessary action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, consummation of the Merger shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligations of the Company, the Parent and Merger Sub set forth in, respectively, Articles VIII and IX hereof in the manner set forth therein.

58


other rights in any other Person, including any current or former employee of the Company or any or its Subsidiaries, any participant in any Benefit Plan or any dependent or beneficiary thereof.

(m) any inaccuracy in the Allocation Schedule as delivered at or immediately prior to Closing.

Section 11.3 Time Limitations. Except with respect to Damages resulting or arising from or based upon (i) fraud, (ii) any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.13 (Tax Matters) or (iii) any matter set forth in Section 11.2(f), the Parent Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification or to be held harmless under Section 11.2 unless on or before March 30, 2013 the Parent notifies the Securityholders’ Representative in writing of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by the Parent Indemnified Parties. A claim for Damages resulting or arising from or based upon fraud may be made at any time during the applicable statute of limitations as the same may be extended or waived and a claim for Damages resulting or arising from or in connection with or based upon a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13 or any matter set forth in Section 11.2(f) may be made at any time before or on December 31, 2014, other than any such representations or warranties fraudulently made (which shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation survival).

Section 11.4 Limitations on Amount.

(a) Except with respect to claims resulting or arising from or based upon fraud, the Parent Indemnified Persons shall not have any right to indemnification or to be held harmless under Section 11.2(a) for the breach of any of the Company’s representations and warranties, except for breaches of any of the representations or warranties in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 3.2 (Authority), 3.3 (No Conflict), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.5 (Subsidiaries), 3.13 (Tax Matters), 3.15 (Employee Benefits), 3.17 (Legal Proceedings; Orders), 3.24 (Intellectual Property), 3.25 (Certain Payments) or 3.32 (HIPAA/HITECH Compliance) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), until the aggregate of all Damages exceeds $250,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), in which event the Securityholders shall be responsible for and the Parent Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified for all Damages in excess of such amount. Any claim for indemnification for the breach by the Company of any of the Fundamental Representations or any claim for indemnification based upon any of Sections 11.2(b) through and including 11.2(m) and any of the matters set forth therein may be made regardless of whether the amount of Damages exceeds or is less than the Deductible Amount and the Securityholders shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Persons for, the entire amount of such Damages up to the aggregate limit set forth in this Section 11.4. A claim for Damages resulting or arising or based upon fraud may be made regardless of whether the amount of Damages exceeds or is less than the Deductible Amount and Securityholders shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Person for the entire amount of such Damages.

 

68


(b) Except with respect to claims resulting or arising from or based upon fraud, the Parent Indemnified Persons shall not have any right to indemnification or to be held harmless under this Agreement except from amounts available in the Escrow Fund.

(c) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification or other payment is provided under this Article XI shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Parent Indemnified Persons under insurance policies with respect to such Damages arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages. Any indemnity or hold harmless payment hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless there is no reasonable basis for doing so under the relevant Tax law.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any party shall have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any other Person under this Agreement, such obligation shall not include any obligation to indemnify for any consequential, special or punitive damages whatsoever, even if advised of the possibility of such damages other than consequential, special or punitive damages awarded to an unrelated third-party.

(e) The Parent Indemnified Persons shall make commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(f) In no event shall any Parent Indemnified Person be entitled to a duplicate indemnification, payment, reimbursement, adjustment or other remedy or recovery from the Securityholders in respect of any Damages.

Section 11.5 Procedure For Indemnification.

(a) A Parent Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification or being held harmless may be sought under Section 11.2, and, if such claim, demand, action or proceeding by or on behalf of any Person other than a party to this Agreement or its successors or assigns would result in Damages (a “Third Party Claim”). Any omission so to notify the Securityholders’ Representative as aforesaid shall not relieve any party from any liability they may have to any Parent Indemnified Person to the extent that such party is not prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If the Parent gives notice to the Securityholders’ Representative of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right, at its sole expense to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Indemnified Persons shall have the right in all respects to control the defense with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, except as set forth below, the Securityholders’ Representative, at its sole cost and expense, may assume and manage the defense of such Third Party Claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Parent, if such Third Party Claim seeks only monetary damages and the potential aggregate Damages arising from such Third Party Claim, when taken together with all other outstanding claims for indemnification by the Parent Indemnified Persons, would not reasonably be expected to exceed the amount of Escrow Fund then held in the Escrow Fund (“Permissible Third Party Claim”).

 

69


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall the Securityholders’ Representative have the right to assume or manage the defense of any Third Party Claim (i) or matter that involves or is related to Taxes, (ii) to which the Securityholders’ Representative or any Securityholder is also a party to such Third Party Claim and the Parent determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, (iii) if the potential aggregate Damages arising from such Third Party Claim, when taken together with all other outstanding claims for indemnification by the Parent Indemnified Persons, could reasonably be expected to exceed the amount of Escrow Fund then held by the Escrow Agent, (iv) if the Third Party Claim seeks relief other than monetary damages, (v) if the subject matter of the Third Party Claim relates to the ongoing business of the Surviving Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the Parent Indemnified Persons and, if decided against the Surviving Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Parent Indemnified Persons, would adversely affect the ongoing business or reputation of the Surviving Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Parent Indemnified Persons, or (vi) if the Securityholders’ Representative does not or is not diligently defending against such Third Party Claim. If the Securityholders’ Representative assumes the defense of a Permissible Third Party Claim (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in such Permissible Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Securityholders’ Representative without the Parent’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (iii) the Parent Indemnified Persons will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If notice is given to the Securityholders’ Representative of the commencement of any Permissible Third Party Claim and the Securityholders’ Representative does not, within twenty (20) days (or, if earlier, by the tenth day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the Person asserting the claim) after the Parent Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Parent of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Securityholders and the Securityholders’ Representative will be bound by any determination made in such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Parent Indemnified Persons. In the event that the Securityholders’ Representative assumes and manages any Permissible Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnified Persons shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to it and, if the Securityholders’ Representative does not diligently conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnified Persons shall, upon written notice to the Securityholders’ Representative, have the right to assume control thereof.

(c) A claim for indemnification or to be held harmless shall specify the amount, or good faith estimate thereof, and nature of such claimed Damages and include the request of the Parent Indemnified Persons for indemnification of such amount. Upon receipt by the Securityholders’ Representative of such written notice, the Securityholders’ Representative shall have twenty (20) days (or, if earlier, by the tenth day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the Person asserting the claim) to review such notice and state whether he has any objections to the matters stated therein. If the Securityholders’ Representative has not objected in writing to any claim or claims made in such notice within twenty (20) days (or, if earlier, by the tenth day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the Person asserting the claim) of receipt of such notice, the amount of such Damages shall thereupon become payable to such Parent Indemnified Persons from the Escrow Fund.

 

70


(d) In connection with any such Third Party Claim, the Securityholders’ Representative and the Parent Indemnified Persons shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with each other and provide each other with reasonable access to relevant books and records in their possession.

Section 11.6 Subrogation. To the extent that any Parent Indemnified Person has been indemnified and held harmless by the Securityholders pursuant to this Article XI, the Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Person may have against any other third person with respect to any Damages, circumstances or matter to which such indemnification is directly or indirectly related. Such Parent Indemnified Persons shall cooperate with the Securityholders’ Representative in a reasonable manner, and at the cost of the Securityholders’ Representative, in presenting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

Section 11.7 Sole and Exclusive Remedy; Management of Claims. Except with respect to claims resulting or arising from or based upon fraud, a request for injunctive relief or specific performance or in connection with a dispute under Section 12.2(b) (which shall be governed by Section 12.2(b)), from and after the Closing the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent and all other Parent Indemnified Persons with respect to any and all claims under or relating to this Agreement, including without limitation under the Company Disclosure Schedule and any Statements or secretaries’ or officers’ certificates (other than the Non-Competition Agreements), delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than the enforcement of a Securityholder Release), shall be to be indemnified or held harmless pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 11.2 solely from amounts then available in the Escrow Fund. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parent and Merger Sub hereby waives, and agrees to cause its Affiliates and all other Parent Indemnified Persons to waive, any and all rights, claims and causes of action, except for claims or causes of action for fraud, injunctive relief or specific performance, they may have against any other party hereto or any Affiliate thereof arising under or based upon any statutory or common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification and hold harmless provisions set forth in this Article XI) to the extent relating to this Agreement, including without limitation under the Company Disclosure Schedule or any Statements delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than the Non-Competition Agreements and Securityholder Releases). All claims for indemnity or to be held harmless made by any Parent Indemnified Person shall be raised and managed solely by and through the Parent.

71


estimated amount (“Estimated Working Capital”) at Closing for the Company and its Subsidiaries obtained by subtracting: (i) the amount of the current liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the employer portion of all employment Taxes resulting from or relating to the payment of any compensation arising from or related to any periods prior to Closing including, without limitation, any bonus or any payments in respect of any Options, Phantom Options or restricted stock, from (ii) the amount of the current assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, excluding any income Tax assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; it being acknowledged that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the following items shall be included in the calculation of the Estimated Working Capital: (A) any amount outstanding from the Company to any Affiliate of the Company, or from any Affiliate of the Company to the Company; (B) Company Indebtedness; (C) Transaction Fees; or (D) the Aggregate Phantom Option Payment, all of which items in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) shall be paid and discharged prior to or at Closing; (E) the Company’s unpaid estimated tax payment otherwise due March 15, 2012 or (F) any FIN 48 current reserves. The foregoing statement shall, consistent with this Agreement, be reasonably acceptable to the Parent and is referred to herein as the “Pro Forma Working Capital Statement”.

(b) If Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Baseline Working Capital, the amount by which Estimated Working Capital exceeds Baseline Working Capital shall be referred to herein as the “Estimated Working Capital Surplus”. If Estimated Working Capital is less than Baseline Working Capital, the amount by which the Baseline Working Capital exceeds Estimated Working Capital shall be referred to herein as the “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency”. The amount of the Estimated Working Capital Surplus, if any, or Estimated Working Capital Deficiency, if any, shall be used to calculate the Aggregate Merger Consideration Closing Payment, Common Stock Closing Payment, Option Closing Payment and Warrant Closing Payment.

Section 12.2 Closing Working Capital Statement.

(a) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Parent shall prepare, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and using the same practices, principles and methodologies used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, and shall deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative, a statement setting forth the calculation of the amount (“Closing Working Capital”) at Closing obtained by subtracting: (i) the amount of the current liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the employer portion of all employment Taxes resulting from or related to the payment of any ordinary payroll compensation arising from or related to any periods prior to Closing, including, without limitation, any bonus or any payments in respect of any Options, Phantom Options or restricted stock, from (ii) the amount of the current assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, excluding any income Tax assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; it being acknowledged that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the following items shall be included in calculating the Closing Working Capital: (A) any amount outstanding from the Company to any Affiliate of the Company, or from any Affiliate of the Company to the Company; (B) Company Indebtedness; (C) Transaction Fees; or (D) the Aggregate Phantom Option Payment, all of which items in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) shall be paid and discharged prior to or at Closing; (E) the Company’s unpaid estimated tax payment otherwise due March 15, 2012 or (F) any FIN 48 current reserves.

In the event the Securityholders’ Representative shall disagree with any of the determinations, computations or decisions relating to the preparation of such statement, the Securityholders’ Representative shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such statement, serve notice of such disputed item or items upon the Parent, and the Securityholders’ Representative and the Parent shall thereupon endeavor to reach agreement with respect thereto. Any failure by the Securityholders’ Representative to deliver such notice within such period with respect to such statement shall be deemed conclusive acceptance by the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Stockholders of such statement. If such agreement with respect to any item identified in a notice as aforesaid shall not be reached within fifteen (15) days of the date of such notice of disagreement, such disputed item or items shall be submitted for determination to a firm of independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to both the Securityholders’ Representative and the Parent (which shall not be the Accountant or any accounting firm retained on a regular basis by the Parent, or any Affiliate of the Parent, or the Securityholders’ Representative, or any Affiliate of the Securityholders’ Representative), the cost of which shall be borne equally by the Securityholder’s Representative and the Parent. The determination of such independent public accountants shall be made within forty-five (45) days of its selection and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. The foregoing statement, completed as aforesaid, is referred to herein as the “Closing Working Capital Statement”. If Closing Working Capital is greater than Estimated Working Capital, the amount by which Closing Working Capital exceeds Estimated Working Capital shall be referred to herein as the “Working Capital Surplus”. If Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, the amount by which Estimated Working Capital exceeds Closing Working Capital shall be referred to herein as the “Working Capital Deficiency”.

Any Transfer Taxes arising or resulting from or in connection with the transfer, conversion or cancellation of capital stock of the Company shall be paid by the Securityholders when due.

(f) Any and all indemnification payments made pursuant to Article XI shall constitute an adjustment of the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Merger Sub, Parent, the Company and the Company Stockholders, Company Optionholders and Company Warrantholders on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by law.

Section 14.7 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of New York, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each of the parties consents to and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

Section 14.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14.8.

Section 14.9 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

 

81


Section 14.10 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

Section 14.11 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including the Indication of Interest between Verisk Analytics, Inc. and the Company dated January 23, 2012) and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the Parent, the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative.

Section 14.12 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. No party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that the Parent may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of the Parent; provided, however, the Parent shall remain primarily responsible for any obligations to pay the Merger Consideration to the Securityholders in accordance with Article II hereof and for any other obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except (i) for the rights of the Securityholders to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article II hereof, as may be adjusted in accordance with Sections 12.2 and 12.3, (ii) that each Parent Indemnified Person shall be a beneficiary of Article XI, and (iii) each current or former director or officer of the Company shall be a beneficiary of Section 7.2. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, this Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns.

Section 14.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Section 14.14 Specific Performance. The Company, the Parent, Merger Sub, and the Securityholders’ Representative each recognize that any breach of the terms of this Agreement

 

82


may give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy, and accordingly agree that, in addition to other remedies, any non-breaching party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof, or any other jurisdiction, having jurisdiction without the necessity of proving the inadequacy as a remedy of money damages.

Section 14.15 Time Of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 14.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 14.17 Waiver of Conflict. Each of Parent and Company hereby acknowledges that Morrison & Foerster LLP has represented the interests of the Company in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in order to avoid any conflict of interest that might be deemed to arise from the Parent’s acquisition of the Company, the Parent and the Company each hereby waive any conflict that might preclude Morrison & Foerster LLP from representing the Securityholders’ Representative, any Company Stockholder, Company Optionholder or Company Warrantholder, or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Company), including in connection with any disputes arising from the Merger, the Escrow Fund, this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.
