In addition, Buyer will assume certain liabilities related to the Business under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Each party’s obligation to consummate the Acquisition is also subject to certain additional conditions, including performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

2.3Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a)Final Closing Date Statement.  Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Parent a statement (the “Final Closing Date Statement”), setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Closing Date Consideration (the “Final Closing Consideration”), and detailing each of the following: (i) the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (the “Final Closing Date Net Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Cash Balance as of the Effective Time (the “Final Closing Cash Balance”), (iii) the Company Debt (the “Final Company Debt”) and (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital has been reduced as a result of a breach of a covenant set forth in Section 2.2(d) (the “Net Working Capital Deficiency”).  The Final Closing Date Statement is to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and consistent with the sample calculation set forth on Exhibit K.  The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Final Closing Date Statement and determining the Final Closing Consideration, Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, Net Working Capital Deficiency (if any), the Final Closing Cash Balance and the Final Company Debt and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.3, is to measure the amount of change between (A) the Estimated Closing Cash Balance and the Final Closing Cash Balance, (B) the Estimated Company Debt and the Final Company Debt and (C) the Net Working Capital that would have existed as of the Effective Time but for a breach of Section 2.2(d).  If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Final Closing Date Statement in accordance with the foregoing, then, Parent shall provide Buyer written notice of such failure and, if Buyer subsequently fails to deliver the Final Closing Date Statement within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice then, at the election of Parent in its sole discretion, either (1) Parent may extend the deadline for Buyer to deliver the Final Closing Date Statement, (2) the Estimated Closing Date Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Date Statement or (3) Parent shall retain  the dispute resolution group of a nationally-recognized, independent accounting firm (such accounting firm, the “Accounting Firm”), to provide an audit of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business’ books, review the calculation of the Estimated Closing Date Consideration and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3, the determination of the Accounting Firm being conclusive and binding on the Parties; provided, however, that Parent reserves any and all other rights granted to it in this Agreement.  In connection with the foregoing, Buyer shall make any reasonably requested relevant books and records available to the Accounting Firm in connection with its services, and all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by Buyer.

(b)Dispute.  Within thirty (30) days following timely receipt by Parent of the Final Closing Date Statement (the “Dispute Period”), Parent shall deliver written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer of any disagreement Parent has with respect to the preparation or content of the Final Closing Date Statement.  Such Dispute Notice must describe in reasonable detail the items contained in the Final Closing Date Statement with which Parent disagrees and, to the extent available, the basis for any such disagreement.  If Parent does not provide Buyer with a Dispute Notice related to the Final Closing Date Statement within the Dispute Period, the Final Closing Date Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.3(a) will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties.  Any item in the Final Closing Date Statement not included in the Dispute Notice shall be final, binding, and conclusive for all purposes hereunder.  In the event Parent provides Buyer with a Dispute Notice, Buyer and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all disagreements related thereto.  If Buyer and Parent, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve any of the disagreements contained in the Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after Parent provides Buyer with such Dispute Notice, then Buyer and Parent jointly shall engage the Accounting Firm or such other nationally recognized accounting firm as may be mutually acceptable to Buyer and Parent to resolve any such disagreement(s).

(c)Method of Dispute Resolution.  Parent and Buyer will enter into a customary engagement agreement with the Accounting Firm and agree to cooperate in good faith with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement.  Parent and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm that it: (i) shall review only the unresolved disputed items contained in the Dispute Notice; (ii) shall make its determination based solely upon the written submissions of Parent and Buyer (i.e., not by independent review), and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definitions set forth herein; (iii) shall render its decision within thirty (30) days after the referral of the dispute to the Accounting Firm for a decision pursuant hereto; and (iv) shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party.  As promptly as practicable following the Accounting Firm’s engagement, Buyer and Parent shall each prepare and submit a presentation to the Accounting Firm.  Following the delivery of the presentations, Buyer and Parent may each submit a response to the other Party’s presentation.  As soon as practicable thereafter, the Accounting Firm shall make its final determination with respect to each disputed item based solely on their respective presentations.  Neither Parent nor Buyer (and none of their respective representatives) shall have any ex parte conversation(s) or meeting(s) with the Accounting Firm without the prior consent of (x) with respect to Parent, Buyer and (y) with respect to Buyer, Parent.  The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm.  For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of Buyer’s position, 60% of the costs of the Accounting Firm would be borne by Parent and 40% of the costs would be borne by Buyer.  All determinations made by the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive, binding, non-appealable and enforceable upon the Parties as an arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction under the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act or its state law equivalent.  Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(d)Access.  For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.3, each Party shall promptly and reasonably cooperate with and make reasonably available to the other Parties and their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers, including reasonable access to its applicable accounting and finance personnel during normal business hours, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Estimated Closing Date Statement and the Final Closing Date Statement and the resolution of any disagreement related thereto.

(e)Post-Closing Adjustment.  Not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date on which all of the items on the Final Closing Date Statement are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3:

(i)if the Final Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Consideration (any such excess, the “Price Increase”), then Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent (on behalf of the Seller Companies), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Price Increase;

(ii)if the Final Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 is less than the Estimated Closing Date Consideration (such deficit, the “Price Decrease”), then Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Price Decrease; or

(iii)if the Final Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 is equal to the Estimated Closing Date Consideration, then no adjustment shall be made to the consideration payable hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.3.

(f)If Closing occurs (i) on or prior to May 2nd, 2022, within forty five (45) days following Closing, or (ii) after May 2nd, 2022, within thirty (30) days following Closing, Parent shall deliver to Buyer an unaudited and unallocated balance sheet of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business as of the Effective Time prepared in accordance with GAAP, including the Net Working Capital calculated consistent with the sample calculation set forth on Exhibit K.  Buyer will cooperate with Parent as reasonably requested in the preparation of such balance sheet, including by making available to Parent certain Business Employees as reasonably necessary to such preparation.

2.4Withholding.  The Seller Companies and Buyer (as appropriate) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required by applicable Law to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law.  If any amounts are to be withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall give prompt notice to such Person and cooperate with such Person in good faith to reduce or mitigate such withholding.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in Sections 7.5(a) and (b), Parent and its respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries shall not be prohibited from or restricted in any way with respect to: (i) advertising job openings by use of third party recruiters, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, social media or any other media, so long as such efforts are not specifically directed at any Senior Individual or Business Employee, or result in the hiring of any such Senior Individual or Business Employee in violation of the terms of Section 7.5(a); (ii) hiring or soliciting any Senior Individual or Business Employee who has been terminated by, or has terminated employment with, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof for a period of at least six (6) months prior to the date of solicitation or hire, so long as there was no solicitation by Parent or its respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries prior thereto; (iii) continuing to engage in any business described on Schedule 7.5(b)(ii); (iv) integrating any products, services or solutions of any Competing Business with or into any products, services or solutions of Parent or its respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries that do not otherwise constitute a breach of Section 7.5(b), and any remote hosting thereof; (v) holding not more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding voting securities of any company (whether public or private) that is primarily engaged in a Competing Business; (vi) acquiring, and following such acquisition, actively engaging in any business that has a subsidiary, division, group, franchise or segment that is engaged in any Competing Business, so long as for the most recent fiscal year ending prior to the date of such acquisition, the revenues derived from the Competing Business were less than ten percent (10%) of the total consolidated revenues of the acquired business; or (vii) fulfilling their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Seller Document.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.5(a), Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be prohibited from or restricted in any way with respect to (A) advertising job openings by use of third party recruiters, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, social media or any other media, so long as such efforts (x) are not specifically directed at any employee of Parent or its Affiliates, or (B) result in the hiring of any employee of Parent or its Affiliates in violation of the terms of Section 7.5(a)(ii), or (B) hiring or soliciting any employee of Parent or its Affiliates who has been terminated by, or has terminated employment with, Parent or any Affiliate thereof for a period of at least six (6) months prior to the date of solicitation or hire, so long as there was no solicitation by Buyer or its respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries prior thereto.

(d)During the Restricted Period, Parent will not, and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries will partner with a third party to: (i) solicit or sell any products or services which are competitive with products or services of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business to any Person which is a customer of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business as of the Closing Date; (ii) divert or attempt to divert any Person which is a customer or vendor of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business as of the Closing Date; nor (iii) induce or convince vendors or customers of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business as of the Closing Date to reduce business with the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business.

(e)Each of the Seller Companies shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to treat as confidential and shall safeguard any and all Business Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable standard of care, to prevent any use, dissemination or disclosure of such Business Confidential Information by any Person for any purpose (except as otherwise required hereunder or under the TSA); provided that, the foregoing restriction shall not prohibit any disclosure (i) required by Law or any listing agreement with any

 

42


 

national securities exchange so long as, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable under the circumstances, Parent provides Buyer with reasonable prior notice of such disclosure or (ii) necessary to be made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(f)Parent acknowledges that its obligations under this Section 7.5 are reasonable in the context of the nature of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business and the competitive injuries likely to be sustained by Buyer if Parent or any of its Subsidiaries were to violate such obligations. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 7.5 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that it is their intention that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, delete specific words or phrases or replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

7.6Antitrust and Other Closing Matters.

(a)Each of Parent and Buyer agrees to file all appropriate notifications and filings pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the most expeditious manner practicable, but in any event to submit the notification and report form required to be filed under the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof and to respond promptly to any request for additional information and documentary material that may be issued to such Party by the relevant Governmental Authorities in connection with the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law.  No Party shall take any action or step to extend, delay, or prevent the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law without the express advance written consent of the other Parties.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Buyer and Parent each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, and to cause its Affiliates to take, any and all steps reasonably necessary to avoid or eliminate as soon as possible each and every impediment under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any United States or foreign antitrust Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the Parties to expeditiously consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any second request from any United States or foreign antitrust Governmental Authority.  Buyer and Parent shall each pay 50% of the filing fees associated with all filings under the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust Law.  Each of the Parties agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any United States or foreign antitrust Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other Parties in advance, if at all possible, and, to the extent not prohibited by such antitrust Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate.  Parent and Buyer will supply each other with (i) in advance of submission and with a reasonable opportunity for review and comment thereon, a draft of any contemplated substantive communication with an antitrust Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) copies of all correspondence, filings or communications with antitrust Governmental Authorities with respect to the transactions

 

43


 

contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that to extent any of the documents or information are commercially or competitively sensitive, Parent or Buyer, as the case may be, may satisfy its obligations by providing such documents or information to the other Party’s outside antitrust counsel, with the understanding and agreement that such antitrust counsel shall not share such documents and information with its client.

(b)No Party will enter into any transaction, or any contractual arrangement or other agreement, whether oral or written, to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that could reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, to: (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law, (ii) avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order or decree that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.7Retained Names and Marks.

(a)Buyer agrees and acknowledges that, except as set forth in this Section 7.7, nothing herein grants Buyer or its Affiliates any rights in any registered or unregistered Marks incorporating the word “Allscripts” or any of the words, marks, corporate symbols, acronyms or logos of the Seller Companies and their respective Affiliates (except as included in the Purchased Assets or, other than for the avoidance of doubt the name “Allscripts”, owned by an Acquired Company) or any derivation thereof (collectively, the “Seller Marks”).  Except as set forth in Section 7.7(b), Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, use the Seller Marks in connection with the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business or for any other purpose following the Closing.

(b)Effective as of the Closing and until December 31, 2023 (the “Marks Transition Period”), the Seller Companies and their respective Affiliates hereby grant to Buyer and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Seller Marks in connection with the operation of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business, including on websites and materials such as signs, purchase orders, invoices, sales orders, labels, letterheads, shipping documents, business cards and product packaging.  Prior to the expiration of the Marks Transition Period, Buyer shall effect the elimination of any use of the Seller Marks in the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business, including by removing the Seller Marks from the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business’ respective signage, stationary, purchase orders, invoices, labels, packaging, business cards, equipment, machinery and advertising materials; provided, however, that with respect to paper goods and other similar inventory items, Buyer shall be permitted to use any such amounts of materials existing at the Closing until they are depleted.  All use of the Seller Marks shall be in substantially the same form and manner as used in connection with the operation of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business prior to the Closing. All goods and services associated with Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ use of the Seller Marks shall be of the same high quality as the goods and services of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business prior to the Closing.  All goodwill arising from or associated with Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ use of the Seller Marks shall inure to the benefit of, and be owned by, the applicable Seller Company or Seller Company Affiliate that owns the Seller

 

44


 

Marks.  Prior to the expiration of the Marks Transition Period, Buyer shall cause each Acquired Company that includes the word “Allscripts” in its name to change such Person’s name to no longer include “Allscripts” (or any derivation thereof).

7.8Non-Assignable Assets.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of this Section 7.8(a) and Section 7.12, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the Consent of a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (including any Governmental Authority), and such Consent shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing Date (such Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, the “Restricted Items”), this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery.  Following the Closing Date, the Seller Companies and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required Consent or any release, substitution or amendment required with respect to each Restricted Item, including with respect to Non-Assignable Shared Contracts; provided, however, that this Section 7.8(a) shall not be deemed to require the Seller Companies or Buyer to pay any material consideration therefor or institute any Action.  Once such Consent or any release, substitution or amendment is obtained, the applicable Seller Company shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Restricted Item to which such Consent or any release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration.

(b)To the extent that any Restricted Item cannot be transferred to or assumed by Buyer following the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.8(a), Parent and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting, or through the TSA) under which (i) Buyer will obtain the economic rights and benefits and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Restricted Item to Buyer as of the Closing Date; and (ii) Buyer shall assume the obligations, including the economic burden, equivalent to the transfer of such Restricted Item and shall, as agent or subcontractor for the applicable Seller Company, pay, perform and discharge fully the Liabilities of such Seller Company thereunder arising from and after the Closing Date, including completing the work or providing the goods and services contemplated thereunder, and bearing all Taxes with respect thereto or arising therefrom. Buyer shall promptly reimburse the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of such Seller Company and their Affiliates related to compliance with this Section 7.8(b).  The applicable Seller Companies shall, at Buyer’s sole expense, hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, such Restricted Item and all income, proceeds and other monies received by such Seller Company to the extent related to such Restricted Item in connection with the arrangements under this Section 7.8(b).

7.9Wrong Pockets.

(a)From and after the Closing, if any Seller Company or any of their respective Affiliates receives or collects any funds relating to any Purchased Asset or due to any

 

45


 

Acquired Company, such Seller Company or such Affiliate shall remit such funds to Buyer after its receipt thereof within five (5) Business Days.

(b)From and after the Closing, if Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives or collects any funds that are not a Purchased Asset or are not due to an Acquired Company and are otherwise due to the Seller Companies or any of their Affiliates, Buyer or such Affiliate shall remit such funds to Seller Company within twenty (20) Business Days after its receipt thereof.

(c)If, at any time after the Closing, any asset held by Buyer or its Affiliates is ultimately determined to be an Excluded Asset or Buyer or any of its Affiliates is found to be subject to an Excluded Liability, then, at Parent’s expense, (i) Buyer shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to the appropriate Seller Company or the appropriate Affiliate of the Seller Companies such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability; (ii) the appropriate Seller Company or its appropriate Affiliate shall assume (without further consideration) such Excluded Liability; and (iii) Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their appropriate Affiliates to, execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability back to the appropriate Seller Company or its appropriate Affiliate, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date.

(d)If, at any time after the Closing, any asset held by a Seller Company or its Affiliates is ultimately determined to be a Purchased Asset or a Seller Company or any of its Affiliates is found to be subject to an Assumed Liability, then, at Buyer’s expense, (i) such Seller Company shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to Buyer or the appropriate Affiliate such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability; (ii) Buyer or its appropriate Affiliate shall assume (without further consideration) such Assumed Liability; and (iii) Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their appropriate Affiliates to, execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability back to Buyer or its appropriate Affiliate, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date.

7.10Post-Closing Access.

(a)From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall afford promptly to the Seller Companies and their designees and representatives, reasonable access to the Business Records and the Business Employees to the extent necessary for legitimate and reasonable business purposes of the Seller Companies and their Affiliates, including the Retained Litigation, or otherwise relating to any Seller Document or related to any period ending on or before the Closing Date (at Parent’s sole cost and expense); provided that any such access by the Seller Companies shall be during normal business hours on reasonable notice and shall not otherwise unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business by Buyer.  Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Parent, Buyer shall not, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the Business Records without first offering to surrender to Parent such Business Records or any portion thereof which Buyer may intend to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of.

 

46


 

(b)From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall afford, and shall cause the other Asset Seller Companies to afford, promptly to Buyer and its designees and representatives reasonable access to the books and records (including accountants’ work papers) of the Asset Seller Companies to the extent necessary for legitimate and reasonable business purposes of Buyer and its Affiliates to the extent related to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business prior to the Closing Date (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) (the “Retained Records”); provided that any such access by Buyer shall be during normal business hours on reasonable notice and shall not otherwise unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the businesses of the Asset Seller Companies. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Buyer, Parent shall not, and shall cause the Asset Seller Companies not to, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the Retained Records without first offering to surrender to Buyer such Retained Records or any portion thereof which such Asset Seller Company may intend to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of. Buyer will not use any Confidential Information obtained from the Asset Seller Companies or any of their Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.10(b) or disclose any of such Confidential Information to any Person, without the prior written consent of the Asset Seller Companies. The obligations of Buyer with respect to such Confidential Information will survive for two (2) years from the date of disclosure of such Confidential Information to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.10(b).

(c)Each Party may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (i) applicable Law requires such Party or any of its Affiliates to restrict or prohibit such access or the provision of such information, (ii) providing such access or information would breach a confidentiality or other obligation to a third party, or (iii) providing such access or disclosure of any such information would reasonably be expected to result in the loss or waiver of the attorney-client or other applicable privilege or protection.

7.11Employee Matters.

(a)Offers of Employment.  Not later than twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to make an offer of employment to each Business Employee employed by an Asset Seller Company, other than as set forth on Schedule 7.11(a).  Such offers of employment shall be effective as of, and contingent upon, the Closing and shall be consistent with the requirements of this Section 7.11 and otherwise on terms and conditions not less favorable in the aggregate than those in effect for such Business Employees immediately prior to the Closing.  Business Employees who accept such offer of employment from Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall collectively be referred to as the “Transferring Employees.”  Upon acceptance, such offers of employment for each Transferring Employee will supersede any prior agreements regarding the terms and conditions of employment as in effect prior to the Closing.

(b)Business Employee Compensation.  Buyer agrees that, for a period of one year following the Closing (or, if earlier, until the date of termination of the relevant employee), the Business Employees shall be eligible to receive compensation that is no less favorable in the aggregate to that compensation provided to the Business Employees immediately prior to the date hereof and employee benefits (other than equity or equity-based compensation) that is substantially comparable in the aggregate to employee benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Buyer.  Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any

 

47


 

employee benefit plans or programs it maintains or adopts with respect to the Business Employees treat employment with any Asset Seller Company (or an Affiliate thereof) prior to the Closing Date the same as employment with Buyer from and after the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility and vesting (including the satisfaction of any waiting periods under any welfare benefit plans maintained by Buyer (the “Buyer Welfare Plans”)) and, for purposes of any vacation plan or policy it adopts with respect to the Business Employees, benefit accrual, in each case to the same extent that such employment with any Asset Seller Company (or an Affiliate thereof) prior to the Closing Date was recognized for such purpose under the corresponding Employee Plan.  In the plan year in which the Closing occurs, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions or waiting periods applicable with respect to medical benefits under the Buyer Welfare Plans will apply to Business Employees to the extent that such limitations, exclusions or waiting periods did not apply to or had been satisfied by such Business Employee under the corresponding Employee Plan providing medical benefits as of the Closing Date.  The Buyer Welfare Plans that are medical benefit plans in which a Business Employee participates after the Closing Date will use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, for purposes of satisfying any deductible, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, any payment made by such Business Employee in such plan year prior to the Closing Date toward deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums in any corresponding Employee Plan.  Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates to provide, honor and recognize all accrued but unused vacation with respect to the Business Employees as of the Closing Date, and to provide in each Business Employee’s offer of employment the option to rollover such accrued but unused vacation.  Subject to the review and discretion of the plan administrator of Buyer’s 401(k) plan, Buyer shall take any and all action necessary to ensure that Buyer’s 401(k) plan shall accept “direct rollovers” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of distributions from the corresponding Employee Plans, if such rollovers are elected by any Business Employee.

(c)WARN Matters.  For ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain the Business Employees to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting any Seller Company to the provisions of the WARN Act or its state law equivalent, if any.

(d)No Guaranteed Employment.  Except as set forth in Section 7.11(c), nothing in this Section 7.11, whether express or implied, shall: (i) confer upon any Business Employee or other Person any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period or any terms or conditions of employment, or any third-party beneficiary rights hereunder; (ii) be interpreted to prevent or restrict Buyer or its Affiliates from modifying or terminating the employment or terms of employment of any Business Employee, including the amendment or termination of any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement, after the Closing; or (iii) be treated as an establishment or an amendment or other modification of any Employee Plan or other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement.

(e)Retention Plan.  Following the date hereof, Buyer hereby agrees to adopt and institute a retention bonus plan (the “Retention Plan”), in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, for the benefit of certain Business Employees to be determined by Parent and Buyer (the “Eligible Employees”).  The Retention Plan shall establish a bonus pool in an aggregate amount set forth on Schedule 7.11(e), which such amount will be payable in bonuses

 

48


 

(collectively, the “Retention Bonuses”) to the Eligible Employees based on allocations to each Eligible Employee to be determined by Parent and Buyer prior to Closing.  The Retention Plan will provide that receipt of a Retention Bonus by an Eligible Employee will be dependent on such Eligible Employee, among other requirements, will remain continuously employed by Buyer, an Acquired Company or one of their respective Affiliates from the Closing Date through December 31, 2023 (or such later date, as mutually agreed in writing by Buyer and Parent with respect to individual Eligible Employees).  With respect to any Retention Bonuses actually paid by Buyer to Eligible Employees pursuant to the Retention Plan, Parent hereby agrees to reimburse to Buyer, within twenty (20) days following receipt by Parent of evidence of payment by Buyer of all earned Retention Bonuses, an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the aggregate amount of such payments; provided, however, that Buyer shall be solely responsible for any applicable employer portion of any payroll taxes related to the Retention Bonuses.

7.12Shared Contracts.

(a)To the extent any of the Shared Contracts may be split and assigned in part to Buyer or replicated for the benefit of Buyer pursuant to its terms, without the consent of the counterparty thereto or other conditions, including the payment of a transfer or other fee (the “Assignable Shared Contracts”), each such Assignable Shared Contract shall thereafter be deemed (to the extent of the split or replication with respect to the portion of such Assignable Shared Contract that relates to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business) to be an Assigned Contract hereunder and the applicable Seller Company shall split and partially assign (or cause to be split and partially assigned) to Buyer, or have or cause to be replicated, for the benefit of Buyer as of the Closing Date such Contract in accordance with its terms.

(b)Schedule 7.12(b) sets forth a list of each Non-Assignable Shared Contract.  As used herein, “Non-Assignable Shared Contracts” means each Shared Contract that (x) is not an Assignable Shared Contract and (y) the counterparty to such Shared Contract is a Significant Customer or Significant Vendor.  Within twenty (20) days after the date hereof, Buyer shall provide Parent with a list of each Non-Assignable Shared Contract, if any, for which Buyer requests that Parent seek such counterparty’s permission to split and partially assign (or replicate) such Non-Assignable Shared Contract (the “Designated Non-Assignable Shared Contracts”).  Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparty to each such Designated Non-Assignable Shared Contract to consent to the split and partial assignment or replication of such Designated Non-Assignable Shared Contract to Buyer (with respect to the portion of such Designated Non-Assignable Shared Contract that relates to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business), or to otherwise enter into a new Contract with Buyer on substantially the same terms as exist under the applicable Shared Contract as of the Closing Date. Each such Designated Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the Parties have received consent to the split and partial assignment or replication shall thereafter be deemed (to the extent of the split or replication with respect to the portion of such Designated Non-Assignable Shared Contract that relates to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business) to be an Assigned Contract hereunder and the applicable Seller Company shall split and partially assign (or cause to be split and partially assigned) to Buyer, or have or cause to be replicated, as of the Closing Date such Contract in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Companies and their Affiliates shall not be required to split and partially assign to Buyer or have replicated any of the Non-Assignable Shared Contracts for which consent has not

 

49


 

been obtained; provided such portion of the Non-Assignable Shared Contract related to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business is treated as a Restricted Item under Section 7.8.  To the extent any counterparty under a Non-Assignable Shared Contract requires the payment of a transfer or other fee for the split and partial assignment or replication of such Shared Contract, Parent and Buyer shall each pay one half of any such fee that is reasonably required.

(c)As to any Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the Parties have not received consent, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to avoid any breach or violation by a Party as a result of any failure to obtain any required consent. Until any such consent or new Contract is obtained, such Non-Assignable Shared Contract shall be subject to Section 7.8(b). If and when such consents or approvals are obtained or such other required actions have been taken, the split and partial assignment, or replication, of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract will be effected in accordance with Section 7.12(b).

7.13[Reserved].

7.14No Solicitation; Other Offers.

(a)General Prohibitions. From the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 or the Closing, Parent shall not, and shall cause the other Allscripts Companies and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage, directly or indirectly, the submission of any offer or proposal from an independent third party related to a Competing Transaction (an “Acquisition Proposal”), (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business to any independent third party in furtherance of any expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) enter into any agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating to a Competing Transaction.

(b)Required Notices.  At any time until the Closing, Parent shall notify Buyer in writing promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after receipt by any of the Allscripts Companies (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any of its respective Representatives) of (A) any Acquisition Proposal, (B) any request for non-public information relating to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business by any independent third party that could reasonably be expected to make, or has made an Acquisition Proposal or (C) any discussions or negotiations that are sought to be initiated or continued with the Allscripts Companies or any of their respective Representatives from any Person (other than Buyer) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or proposal that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, including in such notification a copy (if in writing) of documents or written summary of material terms (if oral) relating to such expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information, and the identity of the Person from which such expression of interest,

 

50


 

proposal, offer or request for information was received.  Thereafter, Parent shall keep Buyer reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), of the status of and material developments relating to any such Acquisition Proposal, or such proposal that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal (including any copies (if in writing) of documents or written summaries of material terms (if oral) of any proposed agreements and amendments or modifications thereto, and a copy of any other documents provided by the relevant counterparty relating thereto), and the status of any discussions or negotiations regarding any such Acquisition Proposal, or such proposal that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, and in the case of any material modification to the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, or such proposal that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, Parent shall notify Buyer of such material modification within one (1) Business Day of the Allscripts Companies’ or any of their respective Representatives’ knowledge of any such material modification.

(c)Application of this Provision to Representatives.  Any violation or non-performance of the restrictions on the Allscripts Companies set forth in this Section 7.14 by any Representative of the Allscripts Companies shall be a breach of this Section 7.14 by Parent.

(d)Obligation to Terminate Discussions.  On the date hereof, Parent (i) shall, and shall cause the other Allscripts Companies and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and their other Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, communications, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any independent third party and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and to cease providing any further information with respect to the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business or any such Acquisition Proposal to any such independent third party, (ii) shall promptly request that all copies of all confidential information that Parent, any of the other Allscripts Companies or any of its or their Representatives have distributed or made available to any such independent third party in connection with their consideration of any Acquisition Proposal (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such independent third party that contains, reflects or analyzes that information) be promptly destroyed or returned to the extent required by any confidentiality or similar agreement with such independent third party, and (iii) cause any physical or virtual data room to no longer be accessible to or by any such independent third party.

7.15License Grants; Covenant Not to Sue.

(a)Patent License to Buyer.  Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free and fully paid-up license under all Parent Covered Patents (including the rights to use, practice, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, create derivative works of, make, have made, sell, offer for sale, import, export and otherwise exploit) solely with respect to developing, providing and marketing products and services to hospital franchises and large ambulatory franchises. “Parent Covered Patents” means all issued patents and pending patent applications owned by Parent or any of its current Affiliates on the Closing Date and all divisionals, continuations, continuations in part, reissues, reexaminations, extensions or foreign counterparts of any of such patents and patent applications (but excluding all claims of any of the foregoing to the extent such claims are

(b)Harris Divestiture. Buyer and its Affiliates may sublicense their rights under Section 7.15(a) only to (i) contractors and consultants, solely on behalf of and at the direction of Buyer and its Affiliates, and solely as necessary for such contractors and consultants to perform services for Buyer and its Affiliates in connection with the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business and (ii) in the event that any third party (a “Harris Business Acquiring Party”) acquires from Buyer or any of its Affiliates (a “Harris Divesting Party”), whether by a stock sale, an asset sale, or a merger or consolidation (each, a “Harris Divestiture”), a business (e.g., a Subsidiary of Buyer containing a business or product line) which develops, provides or markets products and services to hospital franchises and large ambulatory franchises or the entire business of a Harris Divesting Party with respect to developing, providing or marketing products and services to hospital franchises and large ambulatory franchises, in connection with any Harris Divestiture, then such Harris Divesting Party shall have the right to grant a sublicense to such Harris Business Acquiring Party solely with respect to developing, providing and marketing products and services to hospital franchises and large ambulatory franchises; in each case provided that (A) the sublicensee agrees in writing to confidentiality undertakings that are at least as protective of the Common Components as, and no less restrictive than, the confidentiality obligations under Article 4 (Confidentiality) of the TSA and (B) any Harris Business Acquiring Party agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of Sections 7.15(a) and (b) and that Parent is a third party beneficiary to the terms of Sections 7.15(a) and (b) as agreed by such Harris Business Acquiring Party. Buyer shall be responsible and liable for compliance with, and any breach of, Section 7.15(a) by its Affiliates or any sublicensees under Section 7.15(b)(i). Buyer shall provide notice to Parent as soon as practical after a Harris Divestiture of each sublicense granted under Section 7.15(b)(ii).  It will not be a breach of this Agreement for a Harris Divesting Party to not enforce a sublicense granted under Section 7.15(b)(ii).

(c)Buyer Covenant.  Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, covenants not to sue or threaten to sue (or cooperate with, instruct, encourage, aid, or consent to a third party suing or threatening to sue) Parent, its current and future Affiliates, any successors in interest or assigns of Parent or any such Affiliate as described in Section 7.15(d), or any of its or their consultants, contractors, service providers, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, resellers, value-added resellers, indemnitees, customers, or users, for infringement of any Buyer Covered Patents solely with respect to products and services of, and the operation of, the existing business of the Seller Companies as of the Closing and natural evolutions thereof (excluding evolutions resulting from or using assets acquired by an asset sale, merger, consolidation, equity exchange, reorganization or other comparable transaction that relate to providing or marketing products and services to hospital franchises and large ambulatory franchises) and expressly excluding the business of developing, providing or marketing products and services to hospital franchises and large ambulatory franchises (“Existing Non-Hospital Business”). This covenant will narrow as regards any Affiliate of Parent at the time it is no longer an Affiliate of Parent to infringement of any Buyer Covered Patents solely with respect to those products and services of, and the operation of, the Existing Non-Hospital Business as existing and operated by such Affiliate as of the date such Affiliate is no longer an Affiliate.  “Buyer Covered Patents” means any issued patents and pending patent applications included in the Transferred Business Intellectual

 

52


 

Property and all divisionals, continuations, continuations in part, reissues, reexaminations, extensions or foreign counterparts of any of such patents and patent applications (but excluding all claims of any of the foregoing to the extent such claims are not entitled to claim priority to any of the issued patents and patent applications included in the Transferred Business Intellectual Property).

(d)Assignment. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.15(d), neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, the license rights or the covenants not to sue granted under this Section 7.15 to any other Person without the other Party’s prior written consent.  Buyer may assign or otherwise transfer the rights and licenses granted to it under Sections 7.15(a), and 7.15(b) without such consent to (i) a successor to all or any portion of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business, or (ii) the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation, equity exchange, reorganization or other comparable transaction involving Buyer or any of its Affiliates; in each case provided that such Person or successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 7.15. Buyer shall cause any assignee or transferee of any of the Buyer Covered Patents to agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 7.15. Parent may assign or otherwise transfer the covenant not to sue granted to it under Section 7.15(c) without such consent to (x) a successor to all or any portion of the Existing Non-Hospital Business or (y) the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation, equity exchange, reorganization or other comparable transaction involving Parent or any of its Affiliates; in each case provided that the covenant will narrow to infringement of any Buyer Covered Patents solely with respect to those products and services of, and the operation of, the Existing Non-Hospital Business as existing and operated by Parent as of the date of the transaction described in (y) or (x) above and such Person or successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 7.15. Parent shall cause any assignee or transferee of any of the Parent Covered Patents to agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 7.15. The Parties’ rights and obligations under this Section 7.15 shall be binding on, insure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Any assignment in violation of this Section 7.15(d) shall be void.

7.16Certain Additional Covenants.  From and after the date of this Agreement, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article IX, Parent shall deliver to Buyer as soon as reasonably possible:

(a)evidence satisfactory to the Buyer that the statutory financial statements of Allscripts Healthcare (IT) UK LTD for the year ended 31 December 2020 have been duly filed at UK Companies House and any late filings fee has been paid; and

56


 

(b)The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the Break Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to this Section 9.3, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Buyer under the circumstances for its efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

10.4Limitations on Liability.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnification rights and obligations provided for in Section 10.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(a)Certain Limitations.

(i)The aggregate amount of Losses for which the Seller Indemnitees’ shall be liable pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) shall not exceed:

(A)in the case of Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to, resulting from or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty referred to in Sections 10.1(a)(i) and (iii), the amount of the Base Purchase Price;

(B)in the case of Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to, resulting from or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty referred to in Section 10.1(a)(ii) or Section 10.1(a)(iv)(B), an amount equal to 15% of the Base Purchase Price;

60


 

deductible for which Parent shall bear no indemnification responsibility); provided, however, that this Section 10.4(a)(iii) shall not apply with respect of a breach of the Fundamental Reps.

(b)Other Recovery.  If any Losses sustained by an Indemnitee are covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnitee), the Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments.  The amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under Section 10.2 shall be reduced by the amounts actually recovered by any Indemnitee, as applicable, under applicable insurance policies or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnitee) with respect to claims related to such Losses (net of any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the recovery or receipt of such insurance proceeds, including any increases in insurance premiums or retroactive premiums resulting therefrom), and if any Indemnitee receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments after the settlement of any indemnification claim under Section 10.2, as applicable, such Indemnitee shall refund to the Indemnitor that made such indemnification payment the amount of such insurance proceeds (net of any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the recovery or receipt of such insurance proceeds, including any increases in insurance premiums or retroactive premiums resulting therefrom) or indemnity, contribution or similar payments, up to the amount received in connection with such indemnification claim.  It is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or third party shall be entitled to any benefit or right it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of this paragraph.

(c)Tax Benefits.  Without limiting the effect of any other limitations contained in this Article X, for purposes of computing the amount of any and all Losses recoverable under this Article X, there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any Tax Benefit realized by the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates (in the same year of such Losses) in connection with such Losses or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto.  For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any actual refund or credit of Taxes to be paid or reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would be owed in the absence of indemnifiable Losses by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, as applicable, in each case computed at the highest marginal tax rates applicable to the recipient of such benefit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall apply any Tax deductions available to dbMotion Ltd. as a result of any net operating losses arising from or related to the ITA Matter (as defined in Schedule 4.8) in computing any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(iv).

(d)Damage Exclusions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or provided for under any applicable Law, no Party shall be liable to any other Person hereunder for, either in contract or in tort, and Losses shall not include, any exemplary or punitive damages of such other Person.

(e)Double Recovery.  No Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one Loss or related group of Losses, including to the extent that any Buyer Indemnitee has been compensated therefor pursuant to Section 2.3 or otherwise.

 

61


 

(f)Mitigation.  Each Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts (determined without regard to any indemnification rights of such Person hereunder (i.e., as if such Person had no such rights hereunder)) to mitigate any Loss for which such Indemnitee seeks indemnification, in each case solely to the extent required by Law.  Each Indemnitee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any and all rights or benefits (including rights to be indemnified and held harmless or rights to be reimbursed for, or to share, certain costs, expenses or Taxes) with respect to any matter that is indemnifiable pursuant to Section 10.2, in each case solely to the extent required by Law.

10.5Notice and Determination of Claims.  If any Indemnitee believes that it has sustained or incurred any Losses that are indemnifiable under this Article X (a “Claim”), such Indemnitee shall so notify the Indemnitor promptly in writing specifying the basis hereunder upon which the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification is asserted and the facts and circumstances concerning such Claim, describing such Losses, the amount thereof, or a good faith estimate of the amount, and the method of computation of such Losses, all with reasonable particularity, in each case to the extent known (the “Claim Notice”).  After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnitee shall be entitled under this Article X shall be determined: (a) by the written agreement between the Parties; (b) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) by any other means to which the Parties shall agree in writing.  The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.  The Indemnitee shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses suffered by such Indemnitee.  A failure by an Indemnitee to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 10.5 or in Section 10.6 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Party except and only to the extent that the Party entitled to receive such notice was materially damaged or prejudiced as a result of such failure to give timely notice vis-à-vis its rights and obligations hereunder or otherwise.

10.6Third Party Claims.

(a)Promptly following the receipt of notice of a Claim by a third party against a Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (a “Third Party Claim”), the Party receiving the notice of the Third Party Claim shall provide the other Parties with a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim.  Subject to receiving a confidentiality undertaking from the Indemnitor and any redactions that the Indemnitee determines are advisable for purposes of maintaining privilege, such Claim Notice shall be accompanied by copies of all documents and information relevant to the Third Party Claim and in the Indemnitee’s possession.

(b)Subject to Section 10.6(c) and Section 10.6(d), the Indemnitor shall have the option to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise and settlement of any Third Party Claim as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnitee from any Indemnitor hereunder.  The Indemnitor shall notify the Indemnitee in writing, as promptly as possible (but in any case before the earlier of (i) the due date for the answer or response to the Third Party Claim and (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the notice of Third Party Claim given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor under Section 10.6(a) of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim).  The Indemnitee may participate

 

62


 

fully, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof.  Should an Indemnitor assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10.6, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation or defense thereof; provided that the Indemnitor shall pay any such legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee prior to the date the Indemnitor assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.6(b) to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnitor be entitled to conduct and control the defense, compromise and settlement of any Third Party Claim if (i) such claim seeks as the sole remedy an injunction, other equitable relief or any other non-monetary relief against the Indemnitee, (ii) such claim primarily relates to or arises out of any allegedly criminal activity; or (iii) the Indemnitee is a Buyer Indemnitee and the Third Party Claim is made by a customer or supplier of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business, unless such customer or supplier is party to a Shared Contract (in which case, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to conduct and control the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third Party Claim to the extent it relates to a Retained Business) subject to Section 10.6(d); provided further, that Parent shall control the ITA Matter (as defined on Schedule 4.8) with its current local advisors.

63


 

the entire period, and the remaining amount of such Taxes shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period; and (b) in the case of all other Taxes, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as if a separate return was filed for the period ending as of the Effective Time using a “closing of the books methodology,” and the remaining amount of the Taxes for such period shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (b), exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

64


 

Equity of the DRE Targets and the Purchased Equity of the other Acquired Companies and (ii) a schedule allocating the portion of the purchase price (including Assumed Liabilities and liabilities of the DRE Targets to the extent properly taken into account for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) allocated to the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Equity of the DRE Targets among the Purchased Assets and the assets of the DRE Targets (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”).  The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule will be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code.

(c)If within thirty (30) days of receiving the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Parent has not objected, the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding.  If within thirty (30) days, Parent objects to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Parent and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to resolve their differences.

(d)The Parties hereto shall make appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule to reflect changes in the purchase price.  The Parties hereto agree for all Tax reporting purposes to report the transactions in accordance with the agreements herein and the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule if agreed to between the Parties, as adjusted pursuant to the preceding sentence, and to not take any position during the course of any audit or other proceeding inconsistent with the agreements as to Tax treatment herein or with such schedule unless required by a determination of the applicable Governmental Authority that is final.

Each income and other material Parent Prepared Return shall be provided to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such Parent Prepared Return (if such Tax Return is an income Tax Return) or a reasonable time prior to the due date of the Parent Prepared Return (if such Tax Return is not an income Tax Return).

65

11.8Tax Refunds.  All refunds of Taxes of any Acquired Company (i) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the benefit of the applicable Seller Company and (ii) for any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the benefit of Buyer.  Any Party that receives or becomes entitled to (or whose Affiliate receives or become entitled to) any refund, credit or offset of or arising in connection with Taxes for the benefit of the other Party (a “Refund Recipient”), shall pay to the other Party the entire amount of such refund, credit or offset (including any interest from, but net of any Taxes imposed by a Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, credit or offset) no more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of a credit or offset, no more than twenty (20) days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset); provided that if such Refund Recipient is required to repay to the relevant Governmental Authority such refund, credit or offset, the other Party shall, upon the request of such Refund Recipient, repay the amount previously paid to such other Party pursuant to this Section 11.8 in respect of such refund, credit or offset (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority).  Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, or requested by the Seller Companies, to timely claim any refunds that will give rise to a payment under this Section 11.8.

11.9dbMotion. Until December 31, 2022, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (a) operate dbMotion Ltd. (“dbMotion”) in substantially the same lines of business and in substantially the same manner and (b) invoice and bill dbMotion’s customers for royalties and/or “cost plus” for research and development activities, in each case, in substantially the same manner as Parent and its Subsidiaries operated dbMotion during the twelve-month period prior to the Closing.

12.11Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or of any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.  All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court sitting in the state of Delaware.  Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the Parties hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the state of Delaware for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.  TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT (IN

POTENTIAL EARN-OUT CONSIDERATION

This Annex I sets forth the agreement of Buyer and Parent with respect to the terms and conditions under which any Earn-Out Consideration may become payable to Parent (on behalf of the Seller Companies).  Capitalized terms used in this Annex I and not otherwise defined in this Annex I have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.  Unless stated otherwise, Section references in this Annex I refer to the Sections of this Annex I (rather than to the Sections of the Agreement) and the terms “hereof” or “herein” refer to this Annex I rather than the Agreement.

1.

Definitions.  The following terms used in this Annex I have the meanings set forth below:

2022 Earn-Out Period” means the period commencing January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.

2022 Target” means Gross Revenue equal to $892,000,000.

2023 Earn-Out Period” means the period commencing January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2023.

2023 Target” means Gross Revenue equal to $860,000,000.

Change of Control” means, with respect to any Person: (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Person, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of such Person with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock or membership interests, as applicable, of such Person immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock or membership interests, as applicable, of such Person or the surviving or acquiring entity), or (c) the direct or indirect transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to another Person or group of affiliated Persons, of such Person’s securities if, after such transfer, such other Person or group of affiliated Persons would directly or indirectly hold a majority of the outstanding voting stock or membership interests, as applicable, of such Person (or the surviving or acquiring entity); provided, however, that “Change of Control” will not include any reorganization among Affiliates of Buyer as long as ultimate control of Buyer does not change.

Earn-Out Period” means each of the 2022 Earn-Out Period and the 2023 Earn-Out Period, as applicable.

Gross Revenue” means all revenue earned by Buyer and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business, calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles.

 

Annex I-1


 

2.

Earn-Out Statement.  As soon as practicable following the end of each Earn-Out Period (and no later than February 15, 2023 or February 15, 2024, respectively), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its good faith calculation of Gross Revenue for the applicable Earn-Out Period.  Parent and its accountants may review the documents used in the preparation of Buyer’s calculation of Gross Revenue for the applicable Earn-Out Period, and Buyer shall make available to Parent and its accountants all other information related thereto as may be reasonably requested by Parent or its accountants (subject to the execution of customary confidentiality agreements).  Buyer’s calculations and determination of Gross Revenue for the Earn-Out Period delivered to Parent shall become final for all purposes of this Agreement unless, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt of such calculations by Parent, Buyer receives written notice of the objection of Parent to Buyer’s calculations (the “Earn-Out Objection Notice”) and a detailed explanation as to the reasons for such objection.  If Buyer and Parent are unable to agree on the calculation of Gross Revenue for the Earn-Out Period within thirty (30) days after the date the Earn-Out Objection Notice is received by Buyer (or such longer period of time as the parties may mutually agree), Buyer and Parent agree that the Accounting Firm shall make the final determination of Gross Revenue for the Earn-Out Period. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the Agreement, this Annex I and the applicable definitions contained therein and herein.  The determination by the Accounting Firm of Gross Revenue for the applicable Earn-Out Period (and the subsequent calculation of the Earn-Out Consideration for such period) shall be final, conclusive, binding, non-appealable and enforceable upon the Parties as an arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction under the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act or its state law equivalent.  The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm.  For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of Buyer’s position, 60% of the costs of the Accounting Firm would be borne by Parent and 40% of the costs would be borne by Buyer.

3.

Earn-Out Consideration.

Within the later of (x) ninety (90) days following the conclusion of the applicable Earn-Out Period or (y) fifteen (15) days following the final determination of Gross Revenue for the applicable Earn-Out Period in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing Section 2, Buyer shall pay to Parent (on behalf of the Seller Companies), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash determined as follows (the “Earn-Out Consideration”):

 

a.

2022 Earn-Out Period.

 

i.

if Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period equals or exceeds the 2022 Target, then the Earn-Out Consideration for the 2022 Earn-Out Period shall be an amount equal to $10,000,000;

 


 

 

ii.

if Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period is less than the 2022 Target then the Earn-Out Consideration for the 2022 Earn-Out Period shall be an amount equal to $0.

 

b.

2023 Earn-Out Period.

 

i.

if (x) Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period was equal to or exceeded the 2022 Target and (y) Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2023 Earn-Out Period equals or exceeds the 2023 Target, then the Earn-Out Consideration for the 2023 Earn-Out Period shall be an amount equal to $20,000,000;

 

ii.

if (x) Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period was less than the 2022 Target and (y) Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2023 Earn-Out Period is less than the 2023 Target, then the Earn-Out Consideration for the 2023 Earn-Out Period shall be an amount equal to $0;

 

iii.

if (x) Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period was equal to or exceeded the 2022 Target, but Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2023 Earn-Out Period is less than the 2023 Target or (y) Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period was less than the 2022 Target, but Gross Revenue earned with respect to the 2023 Earn-Out Period equals or exceeds the 2023 Target, then the Earn-Out Consideration for the 2023 Earn-Out Period shall be an amount equal to:

multiplied by $30,000,000

minus the amount of Earn-Out Consideration paid with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period (if any)

; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the aggregate Earn-Out Consideration paid in respect of the 2022 Earn-Out Period and the 2023 Earn-Out Period exceed $30,000,000.

4.

Miscellaneous.

 

a.

Each of Buyer and Parent acknowledge and agree that Buyer makes no representations or guarantees with respect to the Earn-Out Consideration and will have exclusive discretion to run the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business using its business judgement; provided, however, that during the Earn-Out Periods, Buyer shall not take any action with the intent or purpose of, (x) delaying or preventing the payment of any Earn-Out Consideration, or (y) reducing the Earn-Out Consideration.

 


 

 

b.

Each of Buyer and Parent further acknowledge and agree that during the Earn-Out Periods, Buyer shall maintain separate books and records of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business to allow the Parties the opportunity to accurately calculate the amount of Gross Revenue and the Earn-Out Consideration.  In order to ensure compliance with this Section 4(b) Buyer shall, upon prior written request from Parent, not more than twice during any Earn-Out Period, provide evidence to Parent of such separate books and records of the Hospital & Large Physician Practice Business.

 

c.

If Buyer undergoes a Change of Control prior to December 31, 2023, then the Earn-Out Consideration (to the extent unpaid) then remaining available to be earned hereunder shall be accelerated and deemed to have been earned in-full, and Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, such amount to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Parent reasonably promptly following the consummation of the Change of Control. For greater certainty, if the 2022 Earn-Out Period has ended and no Earn-Out Consideration was payable hereunder in respect thereof, then no Earn-Out Consideration with respect to the 2022 Earn-Out Period will be payable by Buyer to Parent under this Section 1.a as a result of the Change of Control.

 

d.

In addition to any other rights that Buyer may have pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer will have the right but not the obligation, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.d, to withhold from the Earn-Out Consideration, if any, an amount equal to the amount of any asserted yet unresolved claims for indemnification properly made in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Agreement and to set off such withheld amount against amounts for which the Buyer has not been fully paid or compensated in respect of such claims pursuant to Article X of the Agreement (the “Claimed Set-off”). To exercise its right of set-off, Buyer will give Parent notice of any Claimed Set-off (a “Set-off Notice”), which notice will include reasonable detail as to the basis for and the amount of the Claimed Set-off. Parent will have ten Business Days from the date of receipt of the Set-off Notice to object in writing to the Claimed Set-off (a “Set-off Dispute Notice”).  The amount or amounts that are subject to the Set-off Dispute Notice will be dealt with in accordance with the final resolution of the relevant dispute or disputes. If Parent fails to provide to Buyer a Set-off Dispute Notice within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Set-off Notice, Buyer will be entitled to withhold and set-off the Claimed Set-off without further notice or obligation to Parent pending final resolution of such claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the amount that any Claimed Set-off pursuant to this Section 4.d is greater than the amount that Parent is finally determined to owe to Buyer under Article X of the Agreement, then Buyer shall promptly pay over the full amount of such difference.  For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not have any right to withhold or set off against any Earn-Out Consideration other than with respect to claims made pursuant to Article X of the Agreement.
