-18-


 

have accepted the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Date Indebtedness Amount delivered by the Purchaser, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, the Purchaser and the Selling Party Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Date Indebtedness Amount. If the Purchaser and the Selling Party Representative are unable to resolve such disagreements within such time period, then, at any time thereafter, either the Selling Party Representative or the Purchaser may engage the Auditor to resolve any remaining disagreements. If the Auditor is so engaged, the Selling Party Representative and the Purchaser shall make, and hereby agree to make, readily available to the Auditor all relevant personnel and books and records of the Company and any other documents reasonably necessary for the Auditor to make its determination under this Section 2.08(b). The Auditor shall determine as promptly as practicable (i) whether the Purchaser’s calculations were prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.08(a) with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Auditor and whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Date Working Capital or the Closing Date Indebtedness Amount requires adjustment and (ii) the extent to which each Party prevailed in the dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The determination of the Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Auditor pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be borne by the Purchaser and the Selling Party Representative in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Auditor pursuant to clause (ii) above. The date on which the Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Date Indebtedness Amount are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.08 is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date.”
               (c) The “Adjustment Amount” means an amount (which may be positive or negative) equal to (i) the Closing Consideration as calculated using the Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Date Indebtedness Amount as determined in accordance with this Section 2.08 in lieu of using the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital and Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness Amount, respectively, in accordance with the definition of Closing Consideration, minus (ii) the Closing Consideration that formed the basis for the payments at the Closing as determined pursuant to Section 2.02.
               (d) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then within five (5) days after the Determination Date the Purchaser shall pay the Adjustment Amount to the Selling Party Representative, to be disbursed to the Selling Parties Pro Rata.
               (e) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then within five (5) days after the Determination Date, the Purchaser and the Selling Party Representative shall issue instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to the Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount.
               (f) The Parties agree that any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration unless otherwise required by Law.

          Section 2.09 Earn-Out.
               (a) In addition to the Purchase Price, the Selling Parties shall have the opportunity to earn, and the Purchaser shall pay to such Persons, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.09, additional cash proceeds, in an aggregate amount of up to Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000), calculated and determined in the manner set forth in this Section 2.09.
               (b) If Medfusion’s gross profit together with the gross profit generated by the Purchased Assets as contemplated in paragraph (d)(i) of this Section 2.09 for the twelve (12) month period ending on December 31, 2012 (the “Earn-Out Year”) is greater than Thirty-Six Million Dollars ($36,000,000) (the “Gross Profit Target”), Purchaser shall pay a total aggregate amount equal to $5.50 for every $1 of gross profit in excess of the Gross Profit Target, Pro Rata to the Selling Parties, up to a maximum of Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000) in the aggregate (the “Earn-Out Consideration”) within 45 days of the final determination of the Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to Section 2.09(c), and deliver to each Selling Party his, her or its Pro Rata share of such Earn-Out Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Selling Members’ wire instructions previously delivered to the Purchaser.
               (c) As soon as reasonably practicable after December 31, 2012, but in no event later than March 31, 2013, Purchaser shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared in accordance with GAAP (to the extent that GAAP permits alternate treatments in calculating gross profit, the particular treatment used in the preparation of the historical financial statements of Purchaser shall be used) (A) Medfusion’s balance sheet and statements of income for the Earn-Out Year, which Purchaser shall cause, at Purchaser’s expense, to be audited in accordance with GAAP by KPMG LLP (or Purchaser’s then current audit firm) (collectively, the “Earn-Out Financial Statements”), and (B) a statement (the “Gross Profit Statement”) setting forth the amount of gross profit (as set forth in the Earn-Out Financial Statements) and the calculation of the amounts of the Earn-Out Consideration, if any, in reasonable detail (collectively, the “Earn-Out Deliveries”), and (ii) deliver the Earn-Out Deliveries to the Selling Party Representative, on behalf of the Selling Parties. Upon delivery of such calculations, the Purchaser will provide the Selling Party Representative and his agents and representatives with reasonable access to the personnel and the books and records of the Purchaser and Company to the extent related to the Selling Party Representative’s evaluation of the Earn-Out Deliveries and related calculations. The Selling Party Representative may dispute the calculation of the Earn-Out Consideration or any element relevant to the calculations of the Earn-Out Consideration by notifying the Purchaser of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, to the extent practicable given the information set forth in the Gross Profit Statement, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Earn-Out Deliveries. In the event that the Selling Party Representative does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such thirty (30) day period, the Selling Party Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the calculations of the Earn-Out Consideration, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, the Selling Party Representative may, at his expense, engage a certified independent accounting firm of national reputation to conduct an audit of Medfusion (“Payee Audit”). The Payee Audit shall be conducted during regular business hours of Medfusion and in a manner that does not cause

-20-


 

unreasonable disruption to Medfusion’s or Purchaser’s business operations. If the Payee Audit reveals a shortfall in the Earn-Out Consideration of 5% or more from the Earn-Out Consideration set forth in the Earn-Out Deliveries, the Selling Party Representative shall direct the accounting firm that has conducted the Payee Audit to provide the Purchaser with written notice of such shortfall. The Purchaser shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice to dispute the results of the Payee Audit. If the Purchaser does not dispute the result of the Payee Audit within such thirty-day period, Purchaser shall make prompt payment to the Selling Parties of such shortfall and pay or reimburse all reasonable expenses incurred for the Payee Audit. If Purchaser provides written notice to the Selling Party Representative within such thirty-day period to dispute the results of the Payee Audit, the parties shall submit the matter for binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11.13.
               (d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Earn-Out Consideration is a significant portion of the consideration to be paid in the Transaction and Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
               (i) Subject to clause (iv) below of this Section 2.09(d), Purchaser shall operate Medfusion and the Subsidiaries as stand-alone entities from the Closing Date through the end of the Earn-Out Year (it being understood and agreed that the Purchased Assets may be operated by any Affiliate of the Purchaser but any gross profit generated by the Purchased Assets will be tracked and counted as gross profit for purposes of this Section 2.09);
               (ii) To the extent gross profit benefits are realized in the Business as a result of the Transaction or its integration with the Purchaser and its business from the Closing Date through the end of the Earn-Out Year, including incremental discounts from wholesalers and cost reductions from direct purchasing agreements negotiated with manufacturers, the Selling Parties will receive the benefits of those improvements in the calculation of the gross profit for purposes of determining the Earn-Out Consideration;
               (iii) Prior to the transfer of prescriptions filled by Purchaser or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date to the business of Medfusion for fulfillment, the Selling Party Representative and the Purchaser will mutually agree in good faith and in writing to an appropriate adjustment in the Gross Profit Target to reflect such adjustments in prescription volume; and
               (iv) From the Closing Date through the end of the Earn-Out Year, Purchaser will conduct the Business in a commercially reasonable manner. It is the current intention of the Purchaser that following the Closing Date Medfusion will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, but nothing herein shall give the Selling Parties any rights to prevent the merger or consolidation of Medfusion into Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser (excluding, for this purpose, Medfusion or the Subsidiaries) or any third Person or any sale, transfer or other disposition of a majority of the equity interests in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, Medfusion and its Subsidiaries to any third Person (each a “Company Change of Control Event”).

Earn-Out Year, the Earn-Out Consideration shall accelerate and be payable in full Pro Rata to the Selling Parties within twenty (20) days of the consummation of such Company Change of Control Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall support the Business after the Closing in a commercially reasonable manner that would not as its purpose (i) cause diminution of the Earn-Out Consideration or (ii) deprive the Selling Parties of a full and fair opportunity to receive payment of the Earn-Out Consideration hereunder as is dependent on the performance of the Business.
          Section 2.10 Tax Treatment; Allocation of Closing Consideration and Adjustment Amount.
               (a) Purchaser and the Selling Members agree, for federal income Tax purposes, that the Bayou Check-the-Box Election, Exchange Transaction and sale of the Company Units and Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as follows: (1) in accordance with Treas. Reg. §301.7701-3(c)(1), the Bayou Check-the-Box Election shall be treated as if Bayou State distributed all of its assets and liabilities to its members in liquidation of Bayou State, and immediately thereafter the members contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed limited liability company taxable as a partnership (in accordance with Treas. Reg. §301.7701-3(g)(1)(ii)) as of a time immediately before the close of the day before the Bayou Check-the-Box Election is effective (in accordance with Treas.

               (b) As soon as practicable after the determination of the Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Selling Party Representative an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth Purchaser’s allocation of the Closing Consideration, Adjustment Amount and liabilities of the Companies (to the extent includible in the cost of the assets of the Companies for income tax purposes) (the “Tax Consideration”) to the assets of the Companies and the Subsidiaries, which shall be consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Allocation Schedule shall be subject to the review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Selling Party Representative.
               (c) If the Tax Consideration changes at any time after the Allocation Schedule is prepared by Purchaser and provided to the Selling Party Representative, Purchaser shall prepare and provide to the Selling Party Representative within sixty (60) days after such change a revised Allocation Schedule that reflects the change and is prepared in accordance with Section 2.10(b), which shall be subject to the review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Selling Party Representative.

               (d) Any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule shall be resolved in the same manner as disputes are resolved pursuant to Section 2.08(b). The Parties shall promptly advise each other of the existence of any Tax audit or other Action related to the allocation hereunder.
               (e) The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries to, file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and the Allocation Schedule.

Medfusion also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Medfusion 401(k) Plans as the Purchaser may reasonably require.
               (e) The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting the power of the Purchaser to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan, Benefit Arrangement, New Benefit Plan or any other individual employee benefit plan, program, contract or policy or as requiring the Purchaser to offer to continue the employment of any employee or independent contractor or, other than as required by its terms, any written employment contract. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as an amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan, Benefit Arrangement, New Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement or the establishment of any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a guarantee of employment for any employee of the Purchaser, the Companies or any of their respective subsidiaries, or to restrict the right of the Purchaser, the Companies or any of their respective subsidiaries to terminate or cause to be terminated the employment of any employee at any time for any or no reason with or without notice. The Purchaser and the Companies acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.08 are included for the sole benefit of the Purchaser, the Companies and their respective subsidiaries, and that nothing in this Section 6.08, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (A) in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) of the Purchaser, the Companies or any of their respective subsidiaries or (B) to continued employment with the Purchaser, the Companies, or any of their respective subsidiaries or continued participation in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement.

Notwithstanding the sale of the Company Units and the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, the Purchaser and the Companies agree that neither Companies nor the Purchaser shall have the right to assert the attorney/client privilege as to pre-closing communications between any of the Sellers Agreements or the Companies (for the Companies, only with respect to pre-closing communications), on one hand,

-49-


 

and its counsel, Morrison, on the other hand, to the extent that the privileged communications relate in substantial part to any of the Sellers Agreements or the Transaction. The Parties agree that only the signatories to any of the Sellers Agreement and each of them shall be entitled to assert such attorney/client privilege in connection with communications following the Closing. Such privileged portions of the files generated and maintained by Morrison in connection with the representation by Morrison of any of the signatories to any of the Sellers Agreement with respect to any of the Sellers Agreements or the Transaction shall remain the exclusive property of the signatories to any of the Sellers Agreements. All other files generated and maintained by Morrison as a result of the representation by Morrison of the Companies on any other matter (if any), remain the exclusive property of the Companies and shall be promptly delivered to the Purchaser immediately upon request at any time after the Closing.

Each Selling Member acknowledges and agrees that he has acquired valuable knowledge of certain confidential information that constitutes the property of Medfusion and the Subsidiaries solely and exclusively, and which, if lost or used by the Selling Member outside the Business could cause irreparable and continuing injury to the Business for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Each Selling Member further acknowledges and agrees that all records, lists, client lists, files, electronic documents, reports, notes, internal manuals relating to services provided by Medfusion or the Subsidiaries, business plans, compilations or other recorded matter, and copies or reproductions thereof, to the extent relating to the operations of Medfusion and the Subsidiaries made or received by the Selling Member are the exclusive property of Medfusion and the Subsidiaries. Each Selling Member also covenants and agrees that from and after the Closing Date it will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, divulge or make use of any trade secrets or other confidential information of the Business described in this subsection (b) other than to disclose such secrets and information to the Purchaser or its Affiliates.

Such prohibition will include, but not be limited to, (i) the offering of services, products and other deliverables that compete with services, products or deliverables sold or offered for sale by Medfusion or its Subsidiaries, (ii) owning, managing, operating, controlling, participating in or otherwise carrying on a business similar to or competitive with the Business, Medfusion or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) the use or license to a third party to use the name “Medtown” in the operation of a business similar to or competitive with the Business, Medfusion or any of its Subsidiaries, other than in connection with the operation of a retail pharmacy with drug dispensing revenue attributable to specialty pharmacy accounting for less than 10% of total drug dispensing revenues (a “Retail Pharmacy”). For purposes of clarity, the restrictions in this Section 6.11(c) shall not apply to the Selling Member’s (A) involvement in (i) a Retail Pharmacy, (ii) a hospital pharmacy; (iii) pharmaceutical research or clinical trials; (iv) drug manufacturing; or (B) “passive” ownership of an equity interest in AssuranceRx, LLC.
               (d) During the Restricted Period, a Selling Member will not (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, employee, consultant, representative, investor, manager, security holder, partner or otherwise) directly or indirectly, contact, solicit, divert, take away, induce or attempt to induce any person who is then in the employ of Medfusion or any of its Affiliates, to leave the employ of Medfusion or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Medfusion or such Affiliate and any of their respective employees, or employ or attempt to employ directly or through another person or entity, any such employee, or approach any such employee for any of the foregoing purposes. This subsection (d) shall not prohibit the use of general advertising or other general solicitation by a Selling Member not targeted to the employees of Medfusion or its Affiliates.
               (e) During the Restricted Period, a Selling Member (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, employee, consultant, representative, investor, manager, security holder, partner or otherwise) will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, endeavor to solicit, contact, or interfere, contract with, provide services to, or otherwise deal or do business with any Person that:
               (i) is a customer, licensee, sales representative, drug manufacturer, drug wholesaler or payor of Medfusion or its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date; or
               (ii) was a customer, licensee, sales representative, drug manufacturer, drug wholesaler or payor of Medfusion or its Subsidiaries at any time within eighteen (18) months prior to the Closing Date; or

-51-

provided, however, that the restrictions contained in this subsection (e) shall not apply to a Selling Member’s dealings with any drug manufacturer or drug wholesaler in the conduct of a Retail Pharmacy business.
               (f) During the Restricted Period, a Selling Member (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, employee, consultant, representative, investor, manager, security holder, partner or otherwise) will not, directly or indirectly, make (or cause to be made) to any Person any disparaging, derogatory or other negative or false statement about Medfusion or the Subsidiaries, the Business, the Purchaser or any of Medfusion’s or the Purchaser’s respective Affiliates (including with respect to the products, services, equipment, suppliers, policies, practices, operations, employees, sales representatives, independent contractors, licensees, advisors, agents, officers, security holders, members, managers, partners or directors of any such Person) provided, however, that the restrictions contained in this subsection (f) shall not apply to a Selling Member’s dealings with any drug manufacturer or drug wholesaler in the conduct of a Retail Pharmacy business.
               (g) Each Selling Member agrees that the services of Medfusion and the Subsidiaries are special and unique, that damages cannot compensate in the event of a violation of the above noncompetition and non-solicitation covenants, and that injunctive relief shall be essential for the protection of Medfusion and the Subsidiaries, the Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns. Accordingly, each Selling Member agrees and consents that, in the event such Selling Member shall violate or breach any of said restrictive covenants, Medfusion and the Subsidiaries shall be entitled to obtain (and such Selling Member hereby consents to) injunctive relief against such Selling Member, without bond, in addition to such further or other relief as may appertain at equity or law. Obtainment of such an injunction by Medfusion or the Subsidiaries shall not be considered an election of remedies or a waiver of any right by Medfusion or the Subsidiaries to assert any other remedies Medfusion or the Subsidiaries have at law or in equity. No waiver of any breach or violation hereof shall be implied from the forbearance or failure by Medfusion or the Subsidiaries to take action hereon. Each Selling Member agrees that if any provisions hereof shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion is to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made; provided, further, to the extent any provision hereof is deemed unenforceable by virtue of its scope in terms of area or length of time, but may be made enforceable by limitations thereon, each Selling Member agrees that the same shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in such jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
          Section 6.12 Consummation of the Exchange Transaction. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Selling Members (after giving effect to, and assuming the consummation of, the Exchange Transaction) and Medfusion shall consummate the Exchange Transaction to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser and, in connection therewith, Medfusion shall take all actions reasonably necessary to enforce the provisions of the Exchange Agreement.

If the Purchaser makes an indemnity claim under Section 9.02(a) as a result of a breach or inaccuracy of any representation contained in Section 4.22(a) with respect to a specific accounts receivable (the “Indemnification Receivables”), any amounts collected with respect to such Indemnification Receivables shall be paid to the Purchaser in satisfaction of such indemnification claim if the Purchaser has not yet been paid with respect to such indemnification claims or, if such indemnification claim has been paid to the Purchaser, shall be distributed to the Selling Party Representative to be paid Pro Rata to the Selling Parties.
          Section 6.14 Medtown South. Medtown South agrees that (i) it shall not, and it shall ensure its owners do not, use or license to a third party to use the name “Medtown” to conduct any business activities following the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, (ii) the closing and shut down of its operations shall occur concurrent with the Closing and shall comply with all applicable Laws and (iii) it shall not, and it shall ensure its owners do not, dissolve Medtown South until the end of the Earn-Out Year.

-57-


 

The term “Indemnity Period” shall mean the applicable period with respect to which a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing as provided in this Section.
          Section 9.02 Indemnification of the Purchaser. Subject to Section 9.03 and Section 9.06, the Selling Parties severally shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, current and future Affiliates of the Purchaser (including, following the Closing, Medfusion and the Subsidiaries) and persons serving as officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, agents, representatives or employees thereof (individually, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any damages, liabilities, losses, fines, penalties, Taxes, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (whether or not arising out of third party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Losses”) that may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising out of or in connection with (a) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation of the Companies or any Selling Party under this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, or by reason of any Action asserted or instituted arising out of any matter or thing constituting a breach of such representations or warranties; (b) any breach by the Companies, or any Selling Party of any of their respective covenants, or any failure of the Companies, any Selling Member or Selling Party Representative to perform any of its respective obligations thereunder; (c) any Transaction Expenses or Company Indebtedness that remain unsatisfied as of the Closing Date; (d) any breach by the Companies or any Selling Party of any of the Tax Covenants, or any failure of the Companies, any Selling Party or Selling Party Representative to perform any of its obligation under the Tax Covenants; (e) any Excluded Liability; and (f) any matter referred to in Section 4.08 of the Disclosure Schedule or by reason of any Action asserted or instituted arising out of any such matter provided that indemnification under this subparagraph (f) shall terminate and expire on the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date other than for a Purchaser Claim (as defined below) made before such date.
          Section 9.03 Limitations on Indemnification of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to indemnification under Section 9.02 shall be subject to the following provisions:
               (a) Except as set forth in Section 9.03(c), the aggregate amount for which Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be indemnified under Section 9.02(a) shall not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Cap”) and no indemnification shall be payable pursuant to Section 9.02(a) to any Purchaser Indemnified Party, unless the cumulative amount of all claims for indemnification payable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.02(a) (“Purchaser Claims”) shall exceed Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($550,000) (the “Threshold”) in the aggregate, whereupon the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the entire amount of such Losses, and not merely the portion of such Losses exceeding the Threshold. Each Selling Member shall be individually liable for 100% of Losses for a breach of his, her or its representations and warranties in Article III and for any breach of his, her or its covenants or his, her or its failure to perform obligations and for any certificate related to the foregoing (and no other Selling Member shall be liable therefor), and each Selling Member shall be liable only for its Pro Rata share of any other indemnifiable Losses under this Article IX.

-58-


 

               (b) No indemnification shall be payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to claims under Section 9.02 that are asserted after the applicable Indemnity Period; provided, however, that if within the applicable Indemnity Period a specific state of facts shall have become known that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 9.02 and a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have given written notice to the Selling Party Representative of such facts known by such Purchaser Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period, then the right to indemnification with respect to such claim shall remain in effect without regard to when such matter shall be finally determined and disposed of.
               (c) Notwithstanding Section 9.03(a), neither the Threshold nor the Cap shall apply to any Loss attributable to an Excluded Matter (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate amount for which Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be indemnified under this Article IX by any Selling Party, including indemnification of any Excluded Matters (as defined below), shall not exceed such Selling Party’s allocable portion of the Closing Consideration, plus the portion of the Earn-Out Consideration, if any, paid to such Selling Party.
               (d) For purposes of Section 9.02(a) and Section 9.03 solely in connection with calculating Losses, and not in connection with determining whether a breach has occurred, all representations and warranties of the Companies, any Selling Party or the Selling Parties Representative under this Agreement shall be construed as if the term “material” and any reference to “Material Adverse Effect” were omitted from such representations and warranties.
          Section 9.04 Indemnification by Purchaser.
               (a) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Selling Parties and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and stockholders, partners and members (individually, a “Selling Party Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Selling Party Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Losses that may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising out of or in connection with (a) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation of the Purchaser under this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; (b) any breach by the Purchaser of any of its covenants, or any failure of the Purchaser to perform any of its obligations in this Agreement; and (c) any Losses following the Closing Date in connection with a Personal Guarantee (other than a Personal Guarantee relating to any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability).
               (b) No indemnification shall be payable to a Selling Party Indemnified Party with respect to claims under Section 9.04 that are asserted after the applicable Indemnity Period; provided, however, that if within the applicable Indemnity Period a specific state of facts shall have become known that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 9.04 and a Selling Party Indemnified Party shall have given written notice to the Purchaser of such facts known by such Selling Party Indemnified Party at such time, then the right to indemnification with respect to such claim shall remain in effect without regard to when such matter shall be finally determined and disposed of.
          Section 9.05 Notice; Defense of Claims. An indemnified party may make claims for indemnification hereunder by giving written notice thereof to (a) in the case of claims

-59-


 

against the Purchaser, to the Purchaser, and (b) in the case of claims against the Selling Parties, to the Selling Party Representative, in each case within the period in which indemnification claims can be made hereunder. If indemnification is sought for a claim or liability asserted by a third party, the indemnified party shall also give written notice thereof to the indemnifying party promptly after the indemnified party receives notice of the claim or liability being asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability, except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by the failure or delay in giving such notice. Such notice shall summarize in reasonable detail the basis for the claim for indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted by a third party. The indemnified party shall have the right to assume, conduct and control the defense of, and compromise or settle such claim (unless the claim is solely for monetary damages and would not reasonably be expected to affect the ongoing operation of the Business after the Closing Date in any material respect in which case the indemnifying party shall have the right to assume, conduct and control the defense of, and compromise or settle such claim), at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, by giving written notice (the “Defense Notice”) to the other party of its intention to do so. The indemnified party shall be entitled, at the expense of the indemnifying party, to direct the defense against a third party claim or liability with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of a third party claim that is solely for monetary damages and is not reasonably expected to affect the ongoing operation of the Business after the Closing Date in any material respect, and the indemnified party determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that there are or may be legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party that, if the indemnified party and the indemnifying party were to be represented by the same counsel, would constitute a conflict of interest for such counsel or prejudice the prosecution of the defenses available to such indemnified party, then the indemnified party shall be entitled, at the expense of the indemnifying party, to participate in the defense thereof and select its own counsel. Each of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of a third party claim or liability at its own expense directly or through counsel. If no Defense Notice is given by the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the notice of claim or liability, the indemnifying party shall have the right at its own expense to undertake the defense of such claim or liability (with counsel selected by the indemnifying party). If the third party claim or liability is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall make available such information and assistance as the indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense, at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, neither the indemnifying party, on the one hand, nor the indemnified party on the other, may compromise or settle any claim or liability without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
          Section 9.06 Escrow.
               (a) With respect to any claim for indemnification arising from an inaccuracy or breach by any Selling Party of his, her or its respective representations and warranties contained in Article III or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or his, her or its respective covenants or agreements in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may, at

-60-


 

their option, seek payment of any such indemnification claim from such Selling Party directly or from the Escrow Fund established pursuant to this Section 9.06. With respect to any other claim for indemnification under Section 9.02, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall seek payment of any such indemnification claim or Loss recovery first from the Escrow Fund established pursuant to this Section 9.06 until it has been depleted. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall also have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Selling Party Representative, to set off against, and reduce the total amount of any Earn-Out Consideration otherwise payable hereunder by the amount of any and all Losses to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified with respect to any breach by any Selling Party of his, her or its representations and warranties contained in Article III or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or his, her or its respective covenants in this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, once a particular Selling Party’s Pro Rata portion of the Escrow Fund has been depleted with respect to Losses for which it is liable, the Purchaser may not apply portions of the Escrow Fund attributable to other Selling Parties with respect to such Losses, but must instead seek payment directly from such Selling Party or through permissible set off.
               (b) If Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02 in excess of the amount of the Escrow Fund, or if the funds in the Escrow Fund are inadequate to reimburse Purchaser Indemnified Parties solely with respect to any and all Losses (i) for which such Purchaser Indemnified Parties are determined to be entitled to indemnification (x) arising from any inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation or representation or warranty contained in Article III or (y) pursuant to Sections 9.02(b), 9.02(c), 9.02(d), 9.02(e) or 9.02(f) or (ii) attributable to fraud (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence are referred to collectively as “Excluded Matters”), Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have the right, solely with respect to any Excluded Matter, to seek recovery of such Losses in excess of the Escrow Fund severally and directly from the Selling Parties. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall also have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Selling Party Representative, to set off against, and reduce the total amount of any Earn-Out Consideration otherwise payable hereunder by the amount of any and all Losses to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified by a particular Selling Party with respect to any Excluded Matter.
               (c) On the Closing Date, an amount equal to Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Escrow Fund”) shall be deposited by the Purchaser with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Escrow Fund shall be used to satisfy and pay the Adjustment Amount, if any, as set forth in Section 2.08 and the amount of Losses, if any, for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement.
               (d) Subject to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, on the date which is three Business Days after the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Selling Parties Pro Rata an amount equal to the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund as of the Escrow Termination Date, if any.

-61-


 

               (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Escrow Termination Date, any claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party has been made that could result in a Loss that is subject to indemnification pursuant to Article IX hereof, and the Purchaser has notified the Escrow Agent and the Selling Parties of such in writing, and such claim remains unpaid, then there shall be withheld from the distribution to the Selling Parties such amount of the Escrow Fund within the applicable escrow account as is reasonably necessary to cover any such Loss resulting from such pending claim in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and such withheld amount shall either be (i) paid to the Purchaser or (ii) paid to each Selling Party as provided in Section 9.06(c), as determined upon final resolution of such claim or claims in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Article IX hereof (and the escrow shall be continued in effect until such final resolution of such claim or claims).
          Section 9.07 Other Limitations; Exclusive Remedies. For all purposes under this Article IX, Losses shall be (i) net of any insurance, indemnification or other recoveries actually received by the indemnified party or its Affiliates under any insurance policy or other Contract in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (net of any applicable out-of-pocket collection costs, deductibles and premium adjustments) and (ii) calculated on an “After-Tax Basis,” meaning after taking into account (A) all increases in Taxes payable by the indemnified party as a result of the receipt of the indemnity payment; (B) to the extent not previously taken into account in computing the amount of the Loss, all increases in Taxes payable by the indemnified party for all affected taxable years and periods as a result of the event giving rise to such Loss (the “Indemnified Event”), and (C) to the extent not previously taken into account in computing the amount of the such Loss, all reductions in Taxes actually realized by the indemnified party for all affected taxable years or periods as a result of the Indemnified Event. All calculations shall be made based on actual Tax increases and Tax reductions, and shall be paid at the time such actual Tax increase or reductions are actually realized. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the purchase price, unless otherwise required by Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) no Losses may be claimed under this Article IX by an indemnified party to the extent such Losses relate to any matter which was specifically included in the determination of the Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.08; (b) no Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive or similar exemplary damages, except to the extent actually paid to a third party; (c) no indemnified party shall be entitled to a “double” recovery arising out of the same facts or circumstances; and (d) if the Closing occurs, the provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole recourse and remedy of the parties hereto (except with respect to any equitable remedy to which a party may be entitled or fraud), or any Affiliate of any thereof, for any breach, misrepresentation or other matters under this Agreement.
          Section 9.08 Selling Party Representative.
               (a) Ron Cunningham is hereby appointed by the Selling Parties as agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each of the Selling Parties (the “Selling Party Representative”), to give and receive notices and communications, to agree to, negotiate and enter into settlements and compromises of claims, to demand, prosecute and defend claims arising out of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and to comply with orders of courts and determinations and awards with respect to claims, and to take all actions necessary or

Such agency may be changed by the consent of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Escrow Account from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser. Any vacancy in the position of Selling Party Representative shall be filled by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Escrow Account. The Selling Party Representative may resign upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor Selling Party Representative. No bond shall be required of the Selling Party Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Selling Party Representative shall constitute notice to or from each Selling Party.
               (b) The Selling Party Representative shall not have any liability for any damages to the Selling Parties for any action taken or suffered by it or omitted hereunder as Selling Party Representative, except as caused by the Selling Party Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Selling Party Representative may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of counsel and the Selling Party Representative shall not be liable to the Selling Parties for anything done, omitted or suffered by the Selling Party Representative based on such advice. The Selling Party Representative undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Selling Party Representative.
               (c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Selling Party Representative shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of all the Selling Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all Selling Parties, and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Escrow Agent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Selling Party Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of, and binding on, each of the Selling Parties. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the Companies, the Subsidiaries and their respective representatives are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Selling Party Representative.
               (d) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deposit Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Selling Party Representative Account Fund”) into an interest-bearing account in the name of the Selling Party Representative for the benefit of the Selling Parties (the “Selling Party Representative Account”). Subject to Section 9.08(b), the Selling Party Representative Account Fund shall remain in the Selling Party Representative Account up to the later of the Escrow Termination Date or the date that all disputes, if any, between the Selling Party Representative and the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement have been resolved (such later date, the “Selling Party Representative Account Release Date”). The Selling Party Representative shall be entitled to reasonable compensation on an hourly basis and reimbursement of all expenses incurred in connection with his, her or its services as the Selling Party Representative hereunder. The Selling Parties hereby agree to contribution upon demand their Pro Rata share of costs and expenses of the Selling Party Representative in excess of the Selling Party Representative Account Fund.

          Section 11.03 Public Announcement. Except as may be required by Law, no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the Transaction or otherwise communicate with any news media without prior consent of the other parties, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by Law or the rules of any stock exchange, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with accounting and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure obligations.
          Section 11.04 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

-67-


 

          Section 11.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
          Section 11.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Seller Agreements, the Purchaser Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Companies, the Selling Members and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
          Section 11.07 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of the Purchaser without the prior written consent of any other party; provided, however, that no assignment shall limit or affect the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, which shall remain primary. Following the Closing, the Purchaser may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement (including its indemnification rights under Article IX), in whole or in part, to any other Person without obtaining the consent or approval of any other party hereto or of any other Person.
          Section 11.08 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Selling Party Representative shall be the third party beneficiary of the Selling Members, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Selling Member Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of Article IX, and the signatories to any of the Sellers Agreements not a signatory to this Agreement shall be a third party beneficiary of Section 6.09.
          Section 11.09 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the Purchaser, the Companies and a majority in interest of the Selling Members.
          Section 11.10 Sections and Schedules. Any disclosure of any information in a particular Section or Subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other Section or Subsection of Disclosure Schedule to which the relevance of such information is reasonably apparent on its face.

          Section 11.11 Further Assurances.
               (a) Each party agrees (i) to furnish upon request to each other party such further information, (ii) to execute and deliver to each other party such other documents, and (iii) to do such other acts and things, all as another party may reasonably request, for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement, including vesting of legal and beneficial ownership of all the Company Units and the Purchased Assets, directly or indirectly, in the Purchaser.
               (b) If, prior to the Closing, all necessary approvals, consents and waivers are not obtained with respect to any Assumed Medtown South Contracts or any other Purchased Asset and the Purchaser receives the claims, rights and benefits of Medtown South arising under any such Assumed Medtown South Contract or any other Purchased Asset or resulting therefrom after the Closing Date (but not such Assumed Medtown South Contract or Purchased Asset itself), then, in each such case (to the maximum extent permitted by Law or any applicable Assumed Medtown South Contract or Purchased Asset), the Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations and liabilities of Medtown South under such Assumed Medtown South Contract or Purchased Asset after the Closing Date (but not such Assumed Medtown South Contract or Purchased Asset itself) relating solely to the period after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Assets if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent of a third party thereto would constitute a breach thereof.
          Section 11.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law principles.
          Section 11.13 Dispute Resolution.
               (a) Dispute. Any controversy, claim or dispute of whatever nature, including claims for fraud in the inducement and disputes as to arbitrability, arising between the Companies (prior to the Closing Date) or any Selling Party (before or after the Closing Date) or the Selling Party Representative (after the Closing Date), on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand (each, a “Disputing Party”) under this Agreement, including those arising out of or relating to the breach, termination, enforceability, scope, validity, or making of this Agreement, whether such claim existed prior to or arises on or after the Closing Date (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved by good faith negotiations among the Disputing Parties, such negotiation not to exceed a period of thirty (30) consecutive days (the “Negotiation Period”). In the event a Dispute remains unresolved following the Negotiation Period, such Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration, unless the Disputing Parties otherwise agree. The agreement to arbitrate contained in this section shall continue in full force and effect despite the expiration, rescission or termination of this Agreement.
               (b) Arbitration; Submission to Jurisdiction. Either Disputing Party may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement by giving a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the other Disputing Party setting forth the nature of the Dispute. The Dispute shall be determined by binding arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration (“CPR Rules”),

-69-


 

subject to any modifications contained in this Agreement. The Dispute shall be determined by a single, neutral arbitrator, except that if the Dispute involves an amount in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (exclusive of interest and costs), three arbitrators shall be appointed. The Disputing Parties shall agree upon the arbitrator(s) within the (10) Business Days after receipt of a Dispute Notice. Each arbitrator shall be a retired state or federal judge or an attorney with at least fifteen (15) years of business litigation experience. If the Disputing Parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator(s) within such period, the arbitrator(s) shall be selected by CPR in accordance with the CPR Rules. An award shall be made by a majority of the arbitrators. The arbitrator(s) shall base the award on the “four corners” of the Agreement, and only when the answer to a Dispute is not contained therein, shall the arbitrator(s) look to the governing law designated herein and judicial precedent in accordance with the terms hereof to resolve the Dispute. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to give the arbitrator(s) any authority, power or right to change, modify, add to or subtract from this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein).
               (i) The arbitrators shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including equitable remedies, rescission, specific performance of any obligation created under the Agreement, the issuance of an injunction, or the imposition of sanctions for abuse or frustration of the arbitration process. Without limiting either Party’s rights under Article IX of this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator(s), all of such party’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or asserting any claim, action, suit or proceeding incident to any matter hereunder (including court filing fees, court costs, arbitration fees or costs, witness fees, reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel, investigations, expert witnesses, consultants, accountants, valuation experts and other professional).
               (ii) Discovery will be limited to an exchange of relevant documents and answers to interrogatories. Interrogatories shall, absent permission from the arbitrator(s), be limited to identification of individuals, entities and time periods related to the Dispute, and should not require exhaustive answers or fact finding. Depositions will not be taken except as needed in lieu of a live appearance and only if the arbitrator(s) determine that a witness is not available to testify at the hearing. The arbitrator(s) shall resolve any discovery disputes. The arbitrator(s) and counsel of record will have the power of subpoena process as provided by Law. The Disputing Parties knowingly and voluntarily waive their rights to have any Dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge or a jury.
               (iii) Notwithstanding any choice of law provision in this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Dispute Resolution provision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
               (iv) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, rule or regulation or in court proceedings to enforce this Agreement or an award rendered hereunder or to obtain interim relief, the Disputing Parties and the arbitrator(s) agree to

-70-


 

keep confidential and not disclose to third parties any information or documents obtained in connection with the arbitration process, including the resolution of the Dispute. If either Disputing Party fails to proceed with arbitration as provided in this Agreement, or unsuccessfully seeks to stay the arbitration, or fails to comply with the arbitration award, or is unsuccessful in vacating or modifying the award pursuant to a petition or application for judicial review, the other Disputing Party shall be entitled to be awarded Expenses paid or incurred in successfully compelling such arbitration or defending against the attempt to stay, vacate or modify such arbitration award and/or successfully defending or enforcing the award.
               (v) Each of the Disputing Parties hereto irrevocably submits in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to, and permitted by, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby to the non-exclusive jurisdiction (including personal jurisdiction) and venue of the Federal and state courts in the State of Delaware, and each party waives any and all objections to such Delaware court jurisdiction and venue.
               (vi) Either party may, without inconsistency with this Dispute Resolution provision, apply at any time to any court having jurisdiction and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.
          Section 11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or PDF shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
          Section 11.15 No Presumption. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
          Section 11.16 Legal Counsel. Morrison has served as legal counsel to Medfusion in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the Seller Agreements. Morrison has not been engaged to protect or represent the interests of any Selling Member, Bayou State or Medtown North Georgia in the preparation of this Agreement or the Seller Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Selling Member further: (i) acknowledges that actual and potential conflicts of interest exist among the Selling Members, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that such Selling Members’ interests will not be represented by legal counsel unless such Selling Member engages counsel on its own behalf, and that such Selling Member has been urged to and afforded the opportunity to engage and seek the advice of its own legal and tax counsel before entering into this Agreement and the Seller Agreements, (iii) agrees that, in the event of a dispute between one of more of the Selling Members, on one hand, and Medfusion or the other Selling Members on the other hand, Morrison may represent Medfusion, and (iv) represents that such Selling Member has a level of knowledge and sophistication (either alone or with the assistance of its own counsel) necessary to provide its

-71-


 

informed consent to the provisions of this Section 11.16 without additional guidance or information from Morrison or Medfusion. Finally, each Selling Member agrees that (i) neither this Agreement nor the Transaction contemplated hereby are intended to create an attorney/client relationship between Morrison and such Selling Member or any other relationship pursuant to which such Selling Member (acting other than in the name of Medfusion) would have the right to object to Morrison’s representation of any Person under any circumstances; and (ii) except as otherwise specifically agreed by Morrison in writing, no subsequent attorney/client or other relationship between Morrison and such Selling Member shall give such Selling Member a right to object to Morrison’s continuing role as counsel to Medfusion.
