ARTICLE 3 PURCHASE PRICE AND PRORATIONS OF CERTAIN LIABILITIES

Section 3.1 Initial Purchase Price

(a) Seller acknowledges that Purchaser prior to this date made a deposit of $250,000 toward the Initial Purchase Price (the “Deposit”), which amount has been received in full by Seller.

(b) In full consideration for the Purchased Assets, assumption of Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing Date, and for the other promises and covenants contained herein and in the other agreements to be delivered by Seller hereunder, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 3.2 and 3.4, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an aggregate principal purchase amount of $5,000,000 (the “Initial Purchase Price”), of which $2,000,000 shall be paid in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and the remaining $3,000,000 of which shall be paid pursuant to the initial principal amount of the Convertible Note. The amount of cash to be paid to Seller at closing (the “Closing Date Payment”) will equal the Cash Consideration minus (i) the Specified Seller Liabilities; minus (ii) the aggregate amount of the Creditor Payments; minus (iii) the Deposit; and plus or minus, as the case may be, (iv) the Initial Working Capital Adjustment.

(c) Not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall obtain from each obligee to the Debt of Seller, including any secured party set forth on Schedule 5.10(b), and any creditor of Seller to receive funds at Closing from Seller, a payoff letter and/or lien release letter (the “Payoff Letters”). To the extent applicable, such letter shall include (A) the total obligation owing by Seller to such creditor as of the Closing Date, (B) the total amount of Debt (including all principal, interest, premium, prepayment penalties, and other fees owing on such amounts) owed by Seller to such obligee as of the date of the letter and a per diem amount through the Closing Date, (C) payment instructions for wire transfer of such amount on the Closing Date, and (D) if applicable, confirmation that the obligee shall terminate any lien filings relating to such Debt of Seller upon payment of the amount specified in such letter.

(d) On the Closing Date, Purchaser will:

(i) remit, on behalf of Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by the obligee in its letter, the aggregate amounts specified in the Payoff Letters directly to each obligee thereof in accordance with the terms of each such letter (such amounts, in the aggregate, the “Creditor Payments”);

(ii) remit, on behalf of Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller on such schedule, the amount of the liabilities set forth on Schedule 3.1(d) directly to the parties set forth on such schedule (the “Specified Seller Liabilities”);

 

6


(iii) remit to Seller the Closing Date Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date; and

(iv) issue the Convertible Note to Seller.

Section 3.2 Earnout Consideration

(a) In addition to the Initial Purchase Price, Seller shall be entitled to receive additional consideration for the Purchased Assets (the “Earnout Consideration”) in an amount to be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 3.2(b) and contingent upon the financial performance of the Business represented by the Purchased Assets (the “Interpoint Division”), as calculated and described in Section 3.2(b), during the one year period commencing six (6) months from the last day of the month of the Closing Date and ending twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Earnout Period”). The Earnout Consideration, if any, will be paid through the issuance of a note with terms identical to the terms of the Convertible Note, except with respect to issue date, conversion date and prepayment date (the “Earnout Note”). The Earnout Note shall restrict conversion or prepayment any time prior to the one year anniversary of the issue date.

(b) The Earnout Consideration shall equal the product of (x) twice the Interpoint Recurring Revenue recorded by the Interpoint Division for the Earnout Period plus (y) the Streamline Health Recurring Revenue recorded by the Interpoint Division for the Earnout Period less (z) $3,500,000. The Earnout Consideration, if any, will be paid to Seller no later than July 31, 2013. For the purposes of this section, “Interpoint Recurring Revenue” shall mean gross revenues, excluding Streamline Health Recurring Revenue, derived from the Contracts set forth on Schedule 3.2(b)(i), plus revenue derived from any Contracts executed after the execution date of this Agreement and before the end of the Earnout Period, so long as such Contracts have a minimum remaining term of at least twelve (12) months after April 30, 2013. “Streamline Health Recurring Revenue” shall mean gross revenues derived from the Contracts set forth on Schedule 3.2(b)(ii), and those Contracts signed with existing customers of Parent executed after the Closing Date and before the end of the Earnout Period.

(iii) The Independent Auditors, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, will review the Differences and the Statement of Claims). The Independent Auditors will determine, within fifteen (15) days of the date on which such dispute is referred, based on the requirements set forth in this Article 3 and only with respect to the Differences and Statement of Claims timely submitted to the Independent Auditors, what adjustments (if any) to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement are required in order for it to accurately set forth the Net Working Capital of Seller as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 3.4(d), the parties will share ratably the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditors as follows: (A) if the Independent Auditors resolve all of the remaining Differences in favor of Seller, Purchaser will be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditors, (B) if the Independent Auditors resolve all of the remaining Differences in favor of Purchaser, Seller will be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditors, or (C) if the Independent Auditors resolve some of the Differences in favor of Seller and the rest of the Differences in favor of Purchaser, each of Purchaser and Seller will share the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditors equally.

If the Final Working Capital Statement shows the Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Initial Purchase Price will be increased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount of such excess. All such payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.4(e) (i) by Seller, shall be paid to Purchaser in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (ii) by Purchaser, shall be made to Seller in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Liability Claim or (ii) a settlement of, or adverse judgment with respect to the Liability Claim may be expected to have a material adverse effect on, or is likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business or Tax position of the Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, any increase in the Tax liability of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof), the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith.

(i) the Expiration Date will not apply for any Liability Claim relating to a breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 5.1 (Organization and Standing), Section 5.2 (Authority), Section 5.6 (Title), or Section 5.27 (Brokerage and Finders Fees);

(ii) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 5.5 (Environmental Matters), Section 5.7 (Taxes), Section 5.8 (Litigation) and Section 5.20 (Employee Benefit Plans and Other Plans) shall survive for the duration of any applicable statute of limitations, the duration of any suspension, waiver or extension thereof, and for ninety (90) days thereafter;

32


(iv) any Liability Claim pending on any Expiration Date for which a Claims Notice has been given in accordance with Section 11.2 on or before such Expiration Date may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved.

The representations and warranties listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.3(a) are referred to as the “Fundamental Representations”.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Basket and Cap shall not apply to Losses sustained by Purchaser as a result of Seller’s breach of a Fundamental Representation or Losses that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to sound in fraud in an action brought by Purchaser against either Seller or a Member.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser and Parent shall not have to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party for any Loss under Section 11.1(b)(i) until the aggregate amount of all Losses sustained by one or more Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds the Basket, in which case each Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the full extent of Losses (including the Losses included in the Basket), up to but not exceeding, in the aggregate, the Cap.

(d) Absent fraud or criminal activity, the indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 of this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any party against the other parties for any Losses arising under or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Absent fraud or criminal activity, no party hereto will be entitled to receive from any other party hereto punitive damages as a result of Losses hereunder.

(f) For the purposes of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 11, any Losses shall be determined on a net basis after giving effect to any actual cash payments, setoffs, recoupment, or any other payments in each case received, realized, or retained by the indemnified party (including any amounts recovered or recoverable by the indemnified party from unaffiliated third party insurance providers) as a result of any event giving rise to a claim for such indemnification.

 

33


Section 11.4 Manner of Satisfying Losses.

(a) Payments owed by Seller in satisfaction of Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article 11 shall be satisfied in the following manner: (i) first, through offset against any Earnout Consideration or License Payment that may become due to Seller, (ii) second, through a reduction in the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note, if the note is still outstanding, and (iii) third, to the extent amounts recovered by Purchaser Indemnified Party are not sufficient to satisfy all Losses in full, then the balance of such Losses shall be paid directly from either Seller or the Members in cash or through the surrender of a portion of the Parent Common Stock having the value of the greater of (x) the market price of Parent Common Stock at the time the amount of the Loss is finally determined by agreement of the parties, or to the extent necessary, by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) the conversion price at which such Parent Common Stock was received upon conversion of the Convertible Note.

(b) Payments owed by Purchaser or Parent in satisfaction of their indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article 11 shall be paid to Seller in cash.

Section 11.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made by any party hereto will be treated as adjustments to the Initial Purchase Price.

Section 11.6 Materiality. Each of the representations and warranties that contain any “Material Adverse Effect”, “in all material respects”, or other materiality (or correlative meaning) qualifications shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualification for purposes of any indemnification under this Article 11.
