Purchaser and Seller agree that such Allocation shall be binding on each of them and shall be used for purposes of determining the modified aggregate deemed sales price under Treasury Regulations and in reporting the deemed sale of assets of Company in connection with the Section 338 Election. Each of Purchaser and HNC shall prepare and file Forms 8883 (an any applicable forms required under state or local law) in respect to each Section 338 Election in a timely manner fully consistent with the Allocation and shall not take any position on any financial or regulatory statement or Tax Return or in any Tax audit or proceeding that is inconsistent with the Allocation. The parties shall each provide evidence to the other party that such forms were timely filed.

(iii) Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall prepare a completed set of IRS Forms 8023 (and any comparable forms required to be filed under state, local or foreign tax law) and any additional data or materials required to be attached to Forms 8023 pursuant to the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 338 of the Code. Purchaser shall deliver said forms to Seller three days prior to the Closing Date for review and execution. Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver Forms 8023 at Closing. Seller shall promptly file Form 8023 with the appropriate Internal Revenue Service office and shall promptly furnish Purchaser with written proof of such filing.

(iv) No new elections with respect to Taxes, or any changes in current elections with respect to Taxes, affecting Company after the Section 338 Election shall be made after the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and Seller.

(ii) Seller shall be liable for any state, local, or foreign Tax attributable to an election under state, local, or foreign law similar to the election available under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code. Further, if a state, local or foreign jurisdiction does not have provisions similar to the election available under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, Seller will be liable for any Tax imposed on Company and the HNC Consolidated Group by such state, local and/or foreign jurisdiction resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Finally, Seller will be liable for nonfederal income Taxes of Company and HNC Consolidated Group ending on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall also be entitled to receive all nonfederal Tax refunds and credits received for such period. Purchaser and Company will be liable for nonfederal income Taxes of Company for the period ending after the Closing Date, including Taxes resulting from a change in the accounting method of Company after the Closing Date. Company and Purchaser shall also be entitled to receive all nonfederal Tax refunds and credits received for such period.

(iii) Seller and HNC agree to indemnify Purchaser against any and all Losses sustained by Purchaser or the Company from an invalid Section 338 Election, but only to the extent such invalidity is caused by an act of Seller or HNC or the failure of Seller or HNC to take action with respect to the Section 338 Election as contemplated by this Agreement or as reasonably requested by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller or HNC against any and all Losses sustained by Seller or HNC from an invalid Section 338 Election, but only to the extent such invalidity is caused by an act of Purchaser or the failure of Purchaser to take action with respect to the Section 338 Election contemplated by this Agreement or reasonably requested by Seller or HNC.

(d) As of the Closing Date, Purchaser acknowledges and covenants that there is no plan, intention, arrangement or understanding to, and that it will not for the six (6) month period commencing on July 1, 2005 and ending on December 31, 2005 (the "QSP Period"), take any action of any nature, including by way of merger or liquidation, that would prevent the purchase of the Shares hereunder from constituting a "qualified stock purchase" under U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.338-3, it being expressly recognized that during the QSP Period, the liquidation of the Company (including the upstream merger of the Company with and into Purchaser), or the making of a "qualified subchapter  Subsidiary" election within the meaning of Section 1361 of the Code with respect to the Company, will not be inconsistent with the terms of this Section 8.01(d).

8.02 Future Sales of Company. In the event that Purchaser consummates the sale of Company (by asset sale, stock sale or merger) to a subsequent buyer within twelve (12) months following June 30, 2005 for an amount greater than $2,200,000.00, Purchaser agrees to share the amount in excess of $2,200,000.00 from such future sale equally with Seller.
