1.7               Procedure for Determining Projected Company Consideration and Final Company Consideration.

 

1.7.1          Projected Company Consideration. At least three Business Days but no more than five Business Days before Closing, the Company Seller will deliver (or cause to be delivered) (i) the Company Seller’s written good faith estimate of the Company Consideration (the Projected Company Consideration”) to Buyer, in the form of, and including only the line items shown in, Schedule 1.6.3, with reasonable supporting detail, which will include (A) the Company Seller’s good faith estimate of Net Working Capital prepared in accordance with Schedule 1.5.5(c), Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses, (B) the Company Seller’s good faith estimate of the closing balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Closing Time prepared in accordance with GAAP (without giving effect to the purchase and sale of the Seller Securities or the other transactions pursuant to this Agreement), and the other principles set forth on Schedule 1.6.3, and (C) any other information, data or calculation that is reasonably necessary to support the Company Seller’s determination of the Projected Company Consideration and (ii) an updated version of the Phantom Unit Schedule as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Phantom Unit Schedule”). The Company Seller shall make its Representatives reasonably available, and the Company’s Representatives shall be reasonably available, to Buyer prior to the Closing and following delivery of the Projected Company Consideration and the Closing Phantom Unit Schedule to discuss the calculation of the Projected Company Consideration and Phantom Plan Payments. The Company Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments of Buyer and correct any undisputed errors in the Projected Company Consideration and Phantom Plan Payments prior to Closing; provided, however, the opportunity to comment and any comments submitted by Buyer shall not in any way limit or modify Buyer’s rights and obligations under Section 1.7.2 and Section 1.7.3.

 

1.7.2          Proposed Final Company Consideration. Within 90 days after Closing, Buyer will deliver (or cause to be delivered) Buyer’s good faith determination of the Company Consideration (the “Proposed Final Company Consideration”) to the Company Seller, in the form of, and including only the line items shown in, Schedule 1.6.3 with reasonable supporting detail, which will include Buyer’s good faith (i) calculation of Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses, (ii) preparation of the closing balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Closing Time prepared in accordance with GAAP (without giving effect to the purchase and sale of the Seller Securities or the other transactions pursuant to this Agreement), (iii) calculation of the Proposed Final Company Consideration, and (iv) any other calculation, information and data that is reasonably necessary to support its determination of the Proposed Final Company Consideration.

 

1.7.3          Review and Resolution of Disputes Concerning the Final Company Consideration.

 

(a)                Within 60 days after it receives Buyer’s determination of the Proposed Final Company Consideration (the “Review Period”), the Company Seller may dispute any items included in that determination. During the Review Period, Buyer will make reasonably available to the Company Seller and its Representatives all relevant books, records and work papers (including those of Buyer’s internal and external accountants) in Buyer’s possession or under its control relating to its determination of the Proposed Final Company Consideration and all other items reasonably requested by the Company Seller or its Representatives in connection with the determination of the Proposed Final Company Consideration.

 

-5

 

 

(b)                If the Company Seller indicates in writing that it is satisfied with the Proposed Final Company Consideration, or if it does not deliver an Objection to Buyer before the end of the Review Period, then the Proposed Final Company Consideration shall become the “Final Company Consideration” and shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties. If the Company Seller disputes Buyer’s calculation of the Final Company Consideration, then the Company Seller will so inform Buyer in writing (the “Objection”) during the Review Period. The Objection will include all disputed items and describe the basis of the Objection for each item in reasonable detail. If the Objection does not dispute the determination of one or more items reflected in Buyer’s calculation of the Final Company Consideration, then Buyer’s determination of those undisputed items will be final.

 

(c)                Representatives of the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve all disputed items within 30 days after Company Seller’s delivery of the notice of Objections. If such Representatives are unable to resolve all differences during such 30 day period, any remaining differences will be referred to the chief financial officers of Buyer and Company Seller who will endeavor in good faith to resolve any remaining differences for an additional 15 day period, and if the respective chief financial officers are not able to resolve all remaining differences in such 15 day period, any remaining differences will be referred to the chief executive officers of Buyer and Company Seller who will endeavor in good faith to resolve such remaining differences for an additional 15 day period. If the Parties reach agreement in writing on any disputed items, the Final Company Consideration will be modified to reflect the adjustments accepted pursuant to this Section 1.7.3(c) and those otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties and shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties.

 

(d)                If the Parties do not resolve all of the disputed items within the  period set forth in Section 1.7.3(c), the remaining disputed items (collectively, the “Remaining Disputed Items”) will be submitted to CBIZ MHM, LLC or another independent accounting firm, in each case, with no current or past (within the prior five years) material relationship or engagement with any Party (or their Affiliates) agreed upon by Buyer and the Company Seller (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm will act as an expert (not as an arbitrator). The scope of the review by the Independent Accounting Firm will be limited to (i) determining whether the Remaining Disputed Items were prepared in accordance with Section 1.7 and whether there were mathematical errors with respect to such Remaining Disputed Items and (ii) based on its determinations of the matters described in clause (i), preparing and delivering to the Parties a statement of the adjustments (if any) to the Proposed Final Company Consideration that are necessary with respect to the Remaining Disputed Items to comply with the requirements of Section 1.7. The Independent Accounting Firm shall not make, or be asked to make, any determinations other than those described in the preceding sentence. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the terms and procedures of this Agreement and the submissions and supporting materials provided by Buyer and Company Seller in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review).

 

(e)                Buyer and Company Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its written decision resolving the matters submitted to it as promptly as practicable after submission of the Remaining Disputed Items, and in any event within 60 days after it accepts the referral and on the basis set forth in this Article 3. The Parties will make readily available to the Independent Accounting Firm all relevant books, records and workpapers (including those of their respective internal and external accountants) in their respective possession or under their respective control relating to the calculation of the Remaining Disputed Items. During the 60-day review period, neither Party, nor any of their Representatives, will communicate with the Independent Accounting Firm regarding its review and determination, unless the Party wishing to initiate communication with the Independent Accounting Firm has first provided the other Party with at least five Business Days prior written notice of the proposed communication and an opportunity to be present for or otherwise participate in the communication. Each Party shall be given an opportunity to respond to the other Party’s submission, including with respect to requests and questions from the Independent Accounting Firm, and if a Party does respond, the other Party shall be given an opportunity to respond and to the extent such response contains new information, material or arguments, a Party shall be given an opportunity to respond solely to such new information, material and/or arguments. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of the proper calculation of the Remaining Disputed Items will:

 

-6

 

 

(i)               be no less than the lesser of the amount claimed by either Buyer or the Company Seller, and no greater than the greater of the amount claimed by either Buyer or the Company Seller;

 

(ii)             be delivered in writing to Buyer and the Company Seller, and will include a reasoned explanation of the final determination(s) and the responsibility of Buyer and the Company Seller for the Independent Accounting Firm’s cost and expenses of its review and report determined in accordance with subsection 1.7.4; and

 

(iii)             be conclusive and binding on the Parties and not subject to appeal by any Party, absent manifest error.

 

1.7.4        Buyer will pay the portion of the cost and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and report that is represented by the dollar value of all Remaining Disputed Items that the Independent Accounting Firm determines are in accordance with or closest to the Company Seller’s position, divided by the total dollar value of the Remaining Disputed Items. The Company Seller will pay the remainder, if any, of those costs and expenses. For example, if the dollar value of the Remaining Disputed Items is $100 and the Independent Accounting Firm determines that items totaling $80 are in accordance with or closest to the Company Seller’s position and items totaling $20 are in accordance with or closest to Buyer’s position, then the Independent Accounting Firm’s costs and expenses would be paid 20% by the Company Seller and 80% by Buyer.

 

1.7.5        The process set forth in this Section 1.7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any of the Parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Final Consideration and the calculations and amounts on which it is based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith. After the determination of the Final Consideration, none of the Parties shall have the right to make any claim based upon the preparation of the Final Statement or the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Company Transaction Expenses as of the Closing (even if subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts would have affected the determination of the Final Consideration or the calculations of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Company Transaction Expenses had such subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts been known at the time of the determination of the Final Consideration).

 

1.8              Final Closing Payment. Within five days after the Final Company Consideration is ultimately determined pursuant to Section 1.7:

 

1.8.1         If the Final Company Consideration is greater than the Projected Company Consideration, then the Buyer shall issue to Company Seller the amount of Buyer Stock necessary to resolve such shortfall.

 

1.8.2         If the Final Company Consideration is less than the Projected Company Consideration, then Buyer and Company Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days following the date on which the Final Company Consideration is finally determined pursuant to this Agreement, deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer a portion of the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Account equal to the amount of such difference.

 

1.8.3         If the Final Company Consideration is equal to the Projected Company Consideration, then there will be no adjustment to the Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.8.

 

-7

 

 

1.9             Phantom Plan Payments. Company and/or Company Seller will discharge at Closing, or if not reasonably possible then no later than 10 Business Days after Closing, all Phantom Plan Payments in accordance with the Closing Phantom Unit Schedule in accordance with Company’s ordinary payroll practices pursuant to agreements with each holder of Phantom Units (“Buyout Agreements”), and subject to any applicable withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to any Person for any inaccuracies in or any disputes or claims to the extent related to the calculation of the Phantom Plan Payments or the portion thereof payable to any Person in accordance with the Closing Phantom Unit Schedule. Prior to the Closing, the Company and Company Seller shall take all necessary actions with respect to the Phantom Unit Plan to (i) give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.9; (ii) terminate the Phantom Unit Plan effective before the Closing Date in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code and the terms of the Phantom Unit Plan; and (iii) ensure that, after the termination of the Phantom Unit Plan, neither any holder of Phantom Unit Awards or any beneficiary thereof, nor any other participant in the Phantom Unit Plan shall have any right thereunder to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Phantom Unit Plan, other than the applicable Phantom Plan Payments.

 

1.10          Assignment of Topcare Trademark. Prior to or concurrently with the Closing, Hillcour shall assign the service mark “TOPCARE” (Registration No. 5,915,552) and the patent applications set forth on Schedule 1.10 hereof to the Company pursuant to the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (“IPAA”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to disclose books and records pursuant to this Agreement after Closing if there is any adverse Action in which Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Company Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties (but without limiting any discovery rules). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor the Company shall be required to disclose to Company Seller or its designees and Representatives any information or otherwise provide access pursuant to this Section 7.9 if in doing so, (A) would reasonably be expected to violate any Law or Contract to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates is a party or is subject, or (B) in connection therewith, Buyer or such Affiliate of Buyer, as applicable, believes in good faith such disclosure would reasonably be expected to result in a loss of the ability to successfully assert a claim of privilege (including the attorney-client and work product privileges); provided, however, that in any matters within the scope of clauses (A) or (B) above, Buyer shall inform Company Seller of the general nature of the access or information being withheld and, upon Company Seller’s request, reasonably cooperate with Company Seller to provide such access or information in a manner that would not result in any of the outcomes described in the clause (A) and/or (B), as applicable.

The Buyer shall be responsible for the costs of such tail coverage. The provisions of this Section 7.10 and the insurance contemplated herein are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each current and former employee, officer, director, manager or similar functionary of the Company and his or her heirs and Representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have had by Contract or otherwise.

7.11         Restrictive Covenants.

 

7.11.1     Terms and Conditions. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Company Seller shall not, and shall cause its direct and indirect members and its and their respective Affiliates (each a “Restricted Party”) not to, directly or indirectly, either for such Restricted Party or through any other Person, own, operate, manage, control, engage in, invest in or participate in any manner, act as a consultant or advisor to, or render services for any venture, enterprise or Person (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates) that directly or indirectly engages in the United States in the provision of third party administrative services to employers with respect to their healthcare plans (the “Prohibited Business Activity”). For purposes of the definition of “Affiliate,” a director or manager of an entity that has multiple directors or managers will not be deemed to control that entity unless such individual director or manager has the power to (i) control the decisions of the other directors or managers or (ii) manage the business of that entity as an individual.

 

7.11.2      Company Seller acknowledges that the provisions of Section 7.11 are in consideration of the direct and indirect benefits to be derived by Company Seller under this Agreement. Company Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area. The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 7.11 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this 7.11.2 could cause irreparable injury to Buyer, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this 7.11.2 will be inadequate. Therefore, Buyer will be entitled to seek a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 7.11 without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever. The parties agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 7.11 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser period of time, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.

 

7.11.3      Exceptions.

For purposes of clarity, the Parties agree that a designee of a Restricted Party is permitted to serve on the advisory committee of blind pool funds managed by Weatherford Capital, including Weatherford Capital Fund I, LP.

7.11.6      Additional Covenants. Company Seller agrees and acknowledges that Company Seller and its Affiliates are familiar with the trade secrets and other information of a confidential or proprietary nature of the Company and its Business, clients, vendors and other business relations. Company Seller also agrees and acknowledges that Buyer and the Company would be irreparably damaged if Company Seller and/or its Affiliates were to violate this Section 7.11 and that any such violation would result in a significant loss of goodwill in respect of the Company and the Membership Interests of the Company. Company Seller further agrees and acknowledges that:

(b)             in order to assure Buyer that the Company following the Closing will retain its value, it is necessary that Company Seller and its Affiliates undertake not to utilize Company Seller’s and its Affiliates’ special knowledge of the Company and its business relations and Company Seller’s relationship with clients or customers to compete with Buyer or the Company in violation of this Agreement for the Restricted Period; and

 

(c)             the Company currently operates its business and has relationships with customers throughout the United States.

 

7.11.7      Enforcement and Revision of Terms. If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 7.11 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or the restricted territory stated herein is unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that such court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law. Company Seller has consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of Buyer’s, Company Seller’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ businesses and the substantial investment made by Buyer hereunder. Company Seller further acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are being entered into by Company Seller in connection with the sale by Company Seller of the goodwill of the Business.

(i)          any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company or Company Seller contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

 

(ii)         any breach, non-performance or non-compliance of any pre-Closing or post-Closing covenant or agreement of the Company Seller and/or pre-Closing covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

 

(iii)        any Covered Liability; and

 

(iv)        any Fraud by the Company Seller.

 

(b)       Indemnification Obligations of Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Seller Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses based upon, asserted against, arising out of or relating to:

 

(i)          any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

 

(ii)         any breach, non-performance or non-compliance of any post-Closing covenant or agreement of the Buyer and/or the Company contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document; and

 

(iii)        any Fraud by the Buyer.

 

(c)         No materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier shall be given any effect for the purpose of determining the amount of Losses resulting from a breach of representations and warranties hereunder or in any Transaction Document.

 

10.2        Indemnification Procedures. Except in the event of a Covered Liability covered by Section 7.16, claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

 

10.2.1      In the event that (i) any action, application, suit, demand, claim or legal, administrative, arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution proceeding, hearing or investigation is asserted or instituted by any Person (other than the Parties or their Affiliates) which could give rise to Losses for which a Party could be liable to a Buyer Indemnified Party or Company Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be (each, an “Indemnified Party”), under this Agreement (such proceeding, a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) any Buyer Indemnified Party or Company Seller Indemnified Party has a claim to be indemnified by the Company Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), under this Agreement (such claim, a “Direct Claim” and, together with Third Party Claims, “Indemnification Claims”), the Indemnified Party shall, promptly after it becomes aware of a Third Party Claim (and in any event, within thirty (30) days), or facts supporting a Direct Claim, send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying the nature of such Proceeding giving rise to any such Third Party Claim or Direct Claim in reasonable detail in light of the facts then known to the Indemnified Party, and, if practicable in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, the amount or estimated amount thereof (which amount or estimated amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount, if any, of such Proceeding) (a “Claim Notice”), together with copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) served on or received by the Indemnified Party in the case of a Third Party Claim, provided, however, that a delay (including a delay beyond the aforementioned thirty (30) day period) in notifying the Indemnifying Party (or delivering copies of the aforementioned notices and documents) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under Article 10 except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice or deliver such documents or notices, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations under Article 10 only to the extent of such prejudice.

 

-49-

 

 

10.2.2      If any Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses by providing written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if (a) the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages (provided that if such equitable relief or other relief portion can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion of the claim for money damages subject to the terms of this Article 10), (b) in the event that the Third Party Claim were to be adversely decided, it is likely that the amount of the Losses related to the Third Party Claim which would be indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party hereunder would be less than the amount of payments related to the Third Party Claim which would be paid by the Indemnified Party, (c) the Third Party Claim involves any allegedly criminal or quasi-criminal activity of the Indemnified Party, (d) Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest on a material issue with respect to such defense or control between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, (e) it is likely that the Losses arising out of or related to such claim would not exceed (after taking into account all other applicable indemnification claims) the Deductible or (f) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to make reasonable efforts to defend or prosecute such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable costs and fees of such counsel if the Indemnifying Party ceases to control such defense (including as a result of the foregoing), and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, in each case at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party (if it so elects) shall control such defense; provided that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement for the reasonable costs and expenses of its own legal counsel if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties to or the subjects of such Third Party Claim and material conflicts of interest exist between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party such that the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that the representation by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct.

 

10.2.3      If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim when permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.2, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in good faith in the defense or prosecution thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Claim if (x) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise or discharge, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party, (y) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim could result in any payment of monetary damages by the Indemnified Party in excess of amounts paid by Indemnifying Party, or (z) such settlement does not irrevocably und unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim or does not include a full dismissal of such Third-Party Claim (and any related claims) with prejudice. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of (or is not entitled to assume the defense of) a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any settlement or comprise of any Third-Party Claim effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it being understood that no such settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s consent shall, in and of itself, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder if the Third-Party Claim is an indemnifiable claim under this Article 10.

 

-50-

 

 

10.2.4     After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Authority or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement or arbitration shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall make prompt payment thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice or, if required earlier, pursuant to the terms of the agreement reached with respect to the Indemnification Claim.

 

10.2.5    In the event of a Direct Claim, Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim Notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within such thirty days, such claim specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed to be disputed by Indemnifying Party.

 

10.2.6     From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice under this Agreement, at the reasonable request of either Party, each Party shall grant the other and its Representatives reasonable access to the books, records, Representatives and properties of such Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Claim Notice relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under conditions which will not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Party. The Party requesting access will not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, use (except in connection with such Claim Notice) or disclose to any third person other than the Party’s Representatives (except as may be required by applicable Law) any information obtained pursuant to this Section 10.2.6 which is designated as confidential by the other Party.

 

10.2.7     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tax Proceeding shall be governed by Article 12 and not this Section 10.2.

 

10.3           Indemnification Limitations.

 

10.3.1     It is the intent of the Parties that Buyer shall be entitled to recover Losses solely from the Escrow Amount, other than Losses that result from a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations, claims for Covered Liabilities or claims based upon Fraud.

 

-51-

 

 

10.3.2    The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 10.1(a)(i) (other than a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations, claims based upon Fraud or claims for Covered Liabilities) unless the aggregate Losses for all such breaches and inaccuracies exceeds $135,000 (the “Deductible”) (following which, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article 10, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from and against all such Losses in excess of the Deductible); and the Company Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 10.1(b)(i) (other than a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations or claims based upon Fraud) unless the aggregate Losses for all such breaches and inaccuracies exceeds the Deductible (following which, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article 10, the Company Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover indemnification from and against all such Losses in excess of the Deductible).

 

10.3.3    The Company Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 10.1(b)(i) or 10.1(b)(ii) (other than a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations or claims based upon Fraud) to the extent that such Losses exceed $1,000,000.

 

10.3.4    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Company Seller’s aggregate Liability under Section 10.1(a) or Buyer’s aggregate Liability under Section 10.1(b)(i) with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of the Fundamental Representations exceed the Company Valuation as of the Closing Date, as finally determined pursuant to this Agreement.

 

10.3.5    Each of the Company Seller Indemnified Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have a duty to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any of its indemnifiable Losses.

 

10.3.6    The amount of any Losses for which Company Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party claims indemnification under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received (net of any deductibles) from third party insurers with respect to such Losses (provided that the amount of such insurance proceeds deemed to have been received will also be net of any increase in premium (and retro-premium adjustments) for such insurance policies to the extent arising out of or resulting from such Losses), and (ii) any indemnification, contribution, offset or reimbursement payments actually received from third parties with respect to such Losses. The Indemnified Party shall use its good faith efforts to obtain recoveries from insurers and other third parties in respect of this Section 10.3.6. If an Indemnified Party (A) actually receives insurance proceeds from third party insurers with respect to such Losses or (B) actually receives indemnification, contribution, offset or reimbursement payments from third parties with respect to such Losses, in each case, at any time subsequent to any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article 10 and subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the applicable Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount actually received by such Indemnified Party.

 

10.3.7    Notwithstanding anything provided under applicable Law, no Party shall have any Liability (including under this Article 10) for, and Losses shall not include, any punitive damages, except to the extent any such damages are awarded and paid to a third party with respect to an indemnification claim.

 

10.3.8    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amount included in or otherwise previously taken into account in the determination of the Final Company Consideration (or any of the components thereof), will not be further subject to an Indemnification Claim to the extent actually taken into account in such determination.

 

-52-

 

 

10.3.9      The amount of any Losses payable under this Article 10 will be net of the amount of any Tax benefits actually realized by Buyer or any reduction in Taxes otherwise payable by Buyer as a result of such Loss.

 

10.4         No Company Contribution. The Company Seller shall not have any right to seek any indemnification or contribution from or remedy against the Company whether arising prior to or after the Closing Date in respect of any breach of any representation or warranty by the Company. The Company Seller hereby waives any such claim he or it, as applicable, may have against the Company with respect thereto whether at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

10.5         Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, except that (a) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing until the statute of limitations for such claims expires and the Company Seller’s covenant in Section 7.16 and related indemnification obligations in Section 10.1(a)(iii) shall survive until the earlier of discharge or extinguishment of all Covered Liabilities or the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such Covered Liability expires; (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.15, 4.20 and 3.7 and 5.7 shall survive the Closing until forty-five (45) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and thereafter shall be of no further force or effect; (c) all covenants and agreements to be performed prior to the Closing shall terminate as of the Closing; and (d) covenants and agreements herein that, by their terms, are to have effect after the Closing Date shall survive for the period contemplated by such covenants or agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to such Sections with respect to such claim only, if notice of such claim shall have been given to the Party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to the time such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement would otherwise expire. In addition, any claim related to Fraud shall survive for a period of ten (10) years after the Closing.

 

10.6         Indemnification Waterfall. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Article 10, any indemnification obligation of Company Seller pursuant to Sections 10(a)(i) or (ii) shall be satisfied (i) first, from the Escrow Amount, until such amount has been exhausted or released or otherwise reserved in respect of a claim, and (ii) last, directly by Company Seller.

 

10.7         Release of Escrow Amount. On the day following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), Buyer and Company Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the amount then remaining in the Escrow Account (to the extent not utilized to pay Buyer for any indemnification claim) to the Company Seller provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall be instructed to retain an amount in the Escrow Account (up to the total amount then held in the Escrow Account) equal to the amount of claims for indemnification under this Article 10 timely asserted pursuant to Section 10.2 prior to the Escrow Release Date but not yet resolved (“Unresolved Claims”). Upon resolution of an Unresolved Claim in accordance with this Article 10, Buyer and the Company Seller shall issue to Escrow Agent joint written instructions to release from the Escrow Account the portion of the Escrow Amount retained in respect of such Unresolved Claim to Company Seller, less the amount utilized to pay Buyer for such Unresolved Claim resolved in favor of Buyer.

 

10.8         Tax Treatment. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article 10 shall be treated as adjustments to the Consideration, to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

 

-53-

 

 

10.9        Exclusivity. After the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims, Losses or other matters arising under, out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than in the case of Fraud, shall be the rights of indemnification set forth in this Article 10 only, and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, equitable remedy or otherwise, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by Law. This Section 10.9 will not affect the rights of Company Seller or Buyer, (i) to seek specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) to recover against any Party in connection with any Fraud, (iii) to recover pursuant to the terms of Section 7.16 of this Agreement, or (iv) to recover under the terms of any other agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms set forth therein (including in connection with Fraud). The provisions of this Section 10.9, together with the covenants contained in this Agreement that by their nature are required to be performed after the Closing, were specifically bargained-for between Company Seller and Buyer and were taken into account by the Parties in arriving at the Consideration. Each Party, respectively, specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section 10.9 in agreeing to the Consideration and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 (in the case of Buyer), Article 4 (in the case of Company Seller and the Company), Article 5 (in the case of Marpai) and Article 6 (in the case of Marpai Sellers).

 

ARTICLE 11
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows: (a) at the election of Buyer or Company Seller, if any one or more of the conditions to its obligation to close has not been fulfilled prior to April 15, 2021, provided however, this date may be extended by Buyer in its sole discretion until May 31, 2021, and by mutual agreement of the Parties, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, for an additional three months until August 31, 2021, provided there is a reasonable likelihood that the IPO will occur within this timeframe (as may be extended, the “Outside Date”), unless such fulfillment has been frustrated or made impossible by any breach of the terms of this Agreement by the party seeking termination; (b) by Buyer upon written notice to Company Seller if (i) Buyer is not in breach of or default under this Agreement, and Company Seller or the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by them such that the condition set forth in Section 9.1 would not be satisfied at the Closing, and such breach or failure to perform is not cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Company Seller of written notice thereof or is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date, (c) by Company Seller upon written notice to Buyer if (i) Company Seller and the Company is not in breach of or default under this Agreement, and Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by them such that the condition set forth in Section 8.1 would not be satisfied at the Closing, or is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date, or (d) by mutual written consent of the Company Seller and Buyer. In the event that Buyer or the Company Seller, as the case may be, elects to terminate this Agreement, the terminating party shall deliver a notice to the other party to this Agreement declaring its election to so terminate this Agreement and setting forth therein the basis for such termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article 11, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of Section 7.7, Section 7.14, this Article 11 and Article 13. In addition, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 11 shall not relieve a Party of an obligation in respect of Fraud prior to such termination.

ARTICLE 12
TAX MATTERS

 

The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and the Company Seller for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:

 

12.1        Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

 

12.2        Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. The Company Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and filed all federal, state and local Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Straddle Period (a “Seller Return”). All Company Seller Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer and the Company will grant Company Seller and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Company in order to prepare such Tax Returns. At least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the due date of any such Company Seller Return for any Straddle Period, Company Seller shall submit a draft of such Straddle Period Return to Buyer for review and comment. Company Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by Buyer in writing and within ten (10) days after delivery of a Tax Return. In the event Company Seller disagrees with any comment to a Tax Return provided by Buyer in accordance with this Section 12.2, Buyer shall have the right to submit the matter to the Independent Accounting Firm who will make a determination of the proper treatment of the item in dispute utilizing procedures similar to the procedures set forth in Section 1.7.3. For the avoidance of doubt, Tax Returns of Company Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Company shall not be subject to the foregoing review provisions or otherwise be required to be provided to Buyer for review or comment.

 

12.3        Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and the Company Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 12.2 and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes. 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 such audit, litigation or other Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Each Party shall give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

 

12.4        Tax Contests. If Buyer or the Company receives notice that a Governmental Authority is asserting a claim with respect to a Company Seller Return, Buyer shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company Seller. Such notice will specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim to the extent Buyer is aware of such basis and will include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Authority. Company Seller will have the right to control, at its own expense, any audit, examination, contest, litigation or other proceeding by or against any Governmental Authority (a “Tax Proceeding”) in respect of a Company Seller Return; provided, however, that Buyer will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in such Tax Proceeding to the extent it relates to the Company and receive copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Proceeding received from the relevant Governmental Authority to the extent it relates to the Company, and Company Seller will not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding (or portion thereof) that relates to the Company and imposes obligations on the Company following Closing without obtaining the prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of Buyer. Buyer will have the right to control, at its own expense, any Tax Proceeding involving the Company other than a Tax Proceeding in respect of a Company Seller Return.

 

-55

 

 

12.5        Tax Refunds. Company Seller will be entitled to retain, or to receive prompt payment from Buyer or the Company of, any refund (including any overpayment with respect to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, plus any interest received or credited with respect thereto from the relevant taxing authorities, in each case to the extent not included in Net Working Capital.

 

12.6        Sales and Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Marpai, on the one hand, and Company Seller shall equally be responsible (50%/50%) for all sales, use, value-added, business, goods and services, transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, conveyance or similar Taxes or expenses that may be imposed as a result of the sale and transfer of the Membership Interests from Company Seller to Buyer, together with any and all penalties, interest and additions to tax with respect thereto. The Parties will cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of such Tax Laws.

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns and any reference to a Party will also be a reference to an heir, executor, successor or permitted assign.

This Agreement is not intended and shall not be deemed to confer upon or give any Person, except the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in such Person being deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, except that Indemnified Parties shall be deemed thirty party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in Article 10.
