3.06    Post-Closing Determination of Merger Consideration Adjustment; Transaction Accounting Principles.
(a)    Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Securityholder Representative (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Determination Time, prepared in accordance with GAAP and utilizing the Transaction Accounting Principles, and (ii) a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith calculation of the Company’s Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Determination Time, together with reasonable supporting detail of each of the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement.
(b)    During the 45 days immediately following the Securityholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”) and prior to the appointment of the Referee, the Securityholder Representative and its Representatives shall be permitted, at reasonable times and following reasonable advance notice, to review Parent’s and R1’s working papers and the working papers of Parent’s and R1’s independent accountants, if any, relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of Working Capital, Indebtedness,

24



Cash and Company Transaction Expenses therein, as well as the relevant books and records of the Company, relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses therein; provided, however, that the independent accountants of Parent and R1 shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Securityholder Representative unless and until the Securityholder Representative has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. The Securityholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period if the Securityholder Representative disagrees with the Closing Statement or the Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash or Company Transaction Expenses set forth therein. The Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and the Securityholder Representative’s determination of the amount of the Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Determination Time, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation.
(c)    During the 30 days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If no Notice of Disagreement is received by Parent on or prior to the expiration date of the Review Period, then the Closing Statement and the Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Securityholder Representative and shall become final and binding upon Parent and the Company Stockholders. If the parties cannot agree on the Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses within such 30 day period, the Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and/or Company Transaction Expenses, in each case, solely to the extent not agreed between the Securityholder Representative and Parent, shall be determined by PricewaterhouseCoopers (such firm or any replacement firm appointed pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.06(c), the “Referee”). The Securityholder Representative and Parent shall furnish the Referee with a statement setting forth the items from the Notice of Disagreement which are still in dispute (the “Referee Dispute Notice”); provided, that all items which are not in dispute, and thus not included on the Referee Dispute Notice and/or Notice of Disagreement, shall be considered final and binding. In the event that PricewaterhouseCoopers refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Referee, the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually agreeable to the Securityholder Representative and Parent, in which event “Referee” shall mean such firm. Within 30 days after the submission of such matters to the Referee, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Referee, acting as an expert and not as an arbiter, will make a final determination (based only on the terms and definitions in this Agreement and the information provided by the Securityholder Representative and Parent (and not by independent review)), binding on the Securityholder Representative and Parent, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items in the Closing Statement as to which there is disagreement as specified in the Referee Dispute Notice. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not determined to be the position of either the Securityholder Representative or Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts specified by either the Securityholder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement or Parent in the Closing Statement with respect to such disputed line item. For the avoidance of doubt, the

25



Referee shall not review any line items or make any determination with respect to any matter other than those matters in the Referee Dispute Notice that are in dispute. The statement of each of Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Determination Time, and the determination of the Working Capital, Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses therefrom that are final and binding on the Securityholder Representative and Parent, as determined either through agreement of the Securityholder Representative and Parent (deemed in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 3.06(c) or otherwise evidenced in writing and executed by each of the Securityholder Representative and Parent) or through the determination of the Referee pursuant to this Section 3.06(c) are referred to herein as the “Final Working Capital,” “Final Indebtedness,” “Final Cash,” and “Final Company Transaction Expenses,” respectively. During the review by the Referee, the Securityholder Representative, Parent and R1 shall each make available to the Referee such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Referee to fulfill its obligations under this Section 3.06(c); provided, however, that the independent accountants of the Securityholder Representative, R1 or Parent shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Referee unless and until the Referee has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants.
(d)    The cost of the Referee’s review and determination shall be borne on a proportionate basis by Parent and R1, on the one hand, and the Company Stockholders, on the other (whose share shall be paid on their behalf by the Securityholder Representative from the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount), based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded in favor of each such Person bears to the aggregate amount actually contested.
(e)    The Final Cash Merger Consideration shall be calculated by using the Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, Final Cash, the Final Company Transaction Expenses and otherwise using the components of Estimated Cash Merger Consideration as set forth in the definition of Estimated Cash Merger Consideration.
(i)    If the Final Cash Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Cash Merger Consideration paid at the Closing (such amount, the “Deficiency Amount”), Parent shall be entitled to promptly receive, and Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to make payment to Parent within five Business Days after the Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, Final Cash and Final Company Transaction Expenses have been agreed upon (deemed in accordance with the second sentence of Section 3.06(c) or otherwise evidenced in writing and executed by each of the Securityholder Representative and Parent) or determined by the Referee, in either case in accordance with Section 3.06(c), from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account in an amount equal to such Deficiency Amount; provided, however, (x) if the Deficiency Amount exceeds the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, then Parent shall have the right to request the Securityholder Representative to provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release an amount equal to the balance of such shortfall from the Specified Matters Escrow Amount and (y) such Deficiency

26



Amount shall be satisfied solely and exclusively from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Specified Matters Escrow Amount held by the Escrow Agent and in no event shall the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Stockholder have any obligation or liability to Parent in excess of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Specified Matters Escrow Amount.
(ii)    If the Final Cash Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Cash Merger Consideration paid at the Closing (such amount, the “Excess Amount”), (x) Parent shall pay within five Business Days after the Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, Final Cash and Final Company Transaction Expenses have been agreed upon (deemed in accordance with the second sentence of Section 3.06(c) or otherwise evidenced in writing and executed by each of the Securityholder Representative and Parent) or determined by the Referee in accordance with Section 3.06(c), the Excess Amount payable to the Company Stockholders by wire transfer of same day funds to the Paying Agent (on behalf of and as agent of the Company Stockholders) for delivery to the Company Stockholders in accordance with Section 3.06(f) and (y) Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to release the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount to the Paying Agent (on behalf of and as agent of the Company Stockholders) for delivery to the Company Stockholders in accordance with Section 3.06(f).
(iii)    If any Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount remains in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account after the payment of the Deficiency Amount, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions the Escrow Agent to release the remaining Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount (the “Remaining Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount”) to the Paying Agent (on behalf of and as agent of the Company Stockholders) for delivery to the Company Stockholders in accordance with Section 3.06(f).
(iv)    Parent and the Securityholder Representative hereby agree to deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to deliver promptly from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account all funds to be delivered in accordance with this Section 3.06(e).
(f)    All payments made to the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.06(e) shall be further paid to each Company Stockholder, (1) in the case of Section 3.06(e)(ii), an amount equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Portion, multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount payable pursuant to Section 3.06(e)(ii) multiplied by (C) the aggregate number of such shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Specified Shares) without interest and (2) in the case of Section 3.06(e)(iii), the Per Share Remaining Escrow Amount in respect of the Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder.
(g)    Transaction Accounting Principles. Each of the Estimated Closing Statement (including the Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Cash and Estimated Company Transaction Expenses), the Closing Statement (including the Working Capital,

27



Indebtedness, Cash and Company Transaction Expenses) and the Final Cash Merger Consideration shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with the definitions of such terms contained in this Agreement and the Transaction Accounting Principles, except that the Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement (and all calculations set forth in each, including the calculation of the Estimated Cash Merger Consideration and the Final Cash Merger Consideration) shall be based on facts and circumstances as they exist up to the Determination Time (or such other applicable calculation time as expressly set forth herein or, with respect to the calculation of Indebtedness, as set forth in clause (vii) of such definition) and shall exclude the effect of any act or event occurring after the Determination Time (or such other applicable calculation time as expressly set forth herein or, with respect to the calculation of Indebtedness, as set forth in clause (vii) of such definition).
3.07    Escrow. In accordance with Section 3.03(b)(ii), Parent and R1 shall deliver to SRS Acquiom (the “Escrow Agent”), as agent to Parent and the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders), the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Specified Matters Escrow Amount in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b)(ii), which Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a purchase price adjustment escrow account (the “Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account”) and which Specified Matters Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a compliance escrow account (the “Specified Matters Escrow Account”), in each case, pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, and used for purposes of any payments payable to Parent or the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) pursuant to Section 3.06 and Article IX.
3.08    Withholding Tax. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and their respective agents and designees, as applicable, (including the Paying Agent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made; provided, however, that before making any such deduction or withholding (other than with respect to any compensatory payment), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Securityholder Representative reasonable advance notice of any anticipated withholding (together with the legal basis therefor), provide the applicable Person with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other reasonable steps in order to avoid such withholding, and the Securityholder Representative and Parent will reasonably cooperate in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be deducted and withheld pursuant to this Section 3.08.

(e)    Nothing contained in this Section 6.05, express or implied, shall be construed (i) to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) to prevent R1 or any of its Affiliates (including, after the transaction, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) from terminating or modifying the terms of employment of any employees or terminating or modifying any Company Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (iii) to confer upon any individual (including employees, retirees, or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Any such access and examination shall be conducted during regular business hours and under circumstances that do not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the business and shall be subject to restrictions under applicable Law. The Company shall cause the officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other Representatives of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to cooperate with Parent and Parent’s Representatives in connection with such access and examination, and Parent and its Representatives shall cooperate with the Company and its Representatives and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the business. Any disclosure during such investigation by Parent or its Representatives shall not constitute any enlargement or additional representation or warranty of the Company beyond those specifically set forth in Article IV. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such access or examination shall be permitted to the extent that it (i) relates to the negotiation of this Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or (iii) would require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to disclose information that in the reasonable judgment and good faith of counsel to the Company, is subject to attorney-client privilege or may conflict with any applicable Law or confidentiality obligations to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is bound provided, however, that in each such case, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take those actions

56



reasonable necessary so that the Company or the Company Subsidiaries is able to provide such information to Parent or a Representative of Parent (which efforts shall not require the Company to waive its attorney-client privilege or violate any material Contract or applicable Law).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Closing, (i) without the written consent of the Company (which may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion), Parent and R1 shall not contact any customers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, other than in the ordinary course of the business of Parent, R1 or any of their Affiliates with respect to matters not related to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, and provided that the Company shall have the right to have one (1) Representative present during any such contact in the event that it consents to such contact, and (ii) Parent and R1 shall have no right to perform invasive or subsurface investigations of the properties or facilities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be withheld for any reason).

The Company, Parent, R1 and Merger Sub will use reasonable best efforts to make all other necessary filings with such Governmental Entities as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement. Each of the Company, Parent, R1 and Merger Sub will furnish to each other’s counsel such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and will provide any supplemental information requested by any Governmental Entity as promptly as practicable.

Parent, R1 and Merger Sub will use their respective reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity so as to enable the parties to close the Transactions by no later than the Outside Date, including but not limited to (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired, and the entrance into such other arrangements, as necessary or advisable in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of

57



litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the Transactions; (ii) opposing or defending through completion of litigation on the merits any claim, Action, suit, investigation or other proceeding brought by any Governmental Entity or other Person challenging the Transactions under any Law, including any such action as reasonably necessary to appeal and overturn any Order preventing or enjoining the Transactions; and (iii) agreeing to such limitations on conduct or actions of members of Parent, R1 and their Affiliates after the Closing as may be required in order to obtain satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.01 prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Parent, R1 or any of their respective Affiliates be required to, nor shall the Company or any of its Affiliates, without prior written consent of Parent, take any actions under this paragraph if such actions would result in a material adverse effect, as measured on the Company.
(c)    The parties hereto commit to instruct their respective counsel to cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any issues arising under the HSR Act at the earliest practicable dates. Such reasonable best efforts and cooperation include counsel’s undertaking (i) to keep each other appropriately informed of material communications from and to personnel of the reviewing Governmental Entities in connection with the Transactions and (ii) to confer with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and to the extent practicable, consult with the others prior to any response to personnel of such Governmental Entities in respect of any filings, applications, investigation or other inquiry concerning the Transactions and the content of any such contacts or presentations. The Company, Parent, R1 and Merger Sub will, to the extent practicable, consult with the other parties prior to any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity with respect of any such filings, applications, investigation or other inquiry, and will give the other party prior notice of the meeting or discussion and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion (which, at the request of either Parent or the Company, will be limited to outside antitrust counsel only). Each of Parent and the Company will have the right to review (subject to appropriate redactions for confidentiality and attorney-client privilege concerns) and approve the content of any presentations, white papers or other written materials to be submitted to any Governmental Entity in advance of any such submission.
(d)    Prior to the Closing, Parent and Merger Sub will not, and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire (by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner), any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any permits, orders or other approvals of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions or (iii) delay the consummation of the Transactions to a date later than the Outside Date.

6.10    Director and Officer Liability; Indemnification.
(a)    The certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent governing documents) of each of the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors, managers and officers (the “Indemnified Individuals”) than are set forth in the respective organizational documents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (as applicable) (or equivalent governing documents) as of the Effective Time, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals, in each case, except and only to the extent as required by applicable Law.
(b)    The Company shall purchase prior to the Effective Time a “tail” insurance policy for a period of six years after the Effective Time, with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to take, and the Surviving Corporation shall take, all necessary actions to maintain such policies in full force and effect and fulfill its obligations thereunder throughout such six-year period following the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 6.10 is intended to replace the rights of the Persons who are beneficiaries of the “tail” policy described in this Section 6.10(b) (including Parent, R1, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries). The costs of the tail insurance policy referred to in this Section 6.10(b) shall be borne by Parent and R1.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Action (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against any Indemnified Individual on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such Action.
(d)    This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Individuals and their respective heirs and legal representatives. The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Individual is entitled, whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise.
(e)    In the event that the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10. In addition, the Surviving Corporation shall not distribute, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render the Surviving Corporation unable to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.10.

59



(f)    No right or remedy herein conferred by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or otherwise.
6.11    Reasonable Best Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein provided and Section 6.09 which specifically governs the parties’ obligations with respect to filings under the HSR Act, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, to do or cause to be done and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Agreements, and in any event, no later than the Outside Date, including: (a) the satisfaction (but not waiver) of the conditions precedent to the obligations of any of the parties; (b) the obtaining of applicable consents, waivers or approvals of any Governmental Entities or third parties; (c) the defending of any actions challenging this Agreement or the performance of the obligations hereby; and (d) the execution and delivery of such instruments, and the taking of such other actions, as the other party may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Company, Parent, R1, Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to make any non-de minimis payments or otherwise pay any non-de minimis consideration to any third party to obtain any applicable consent, waiver or approval.
6.12    Financing and Financing Assistance.
(a)    [Reserved].
(b)    Giving due regard to the Marketing Period, R1, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible all things necessary to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) until the funding of the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive financing agreements with respect to the Debt Financing that are on terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including any related market flex provisions set forth in the Fee Letter), (iii) satisfy or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis, taking into account the Marketing Period, all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub obtaining the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter that are within their control, including the payment of any commitment, engagement, or placement fees required as a condition to the Debt Financing, (iv) upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the date that the Closing is required to be effected in accordance with this Agreement (Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement, nor to the consummation of the Merger, for R1, Parent and Merger Sub to obtain the Debt Financing or any alternative financing), (v) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and/or the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing; and (vi) comply with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letters. Upon written request of the Company,

60



Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of material developments in respect of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company prompt notice (x) of any breach or default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing of which Parent or Merger Sub become aware that would delay or prevent the Closing or result in insufficient financing to make all payments required to be made by Parent on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.03(b), (y) of the receipt of (A) any written notice or (B) other written communication, in each case from any Lender party to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to any (i) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by such Lender related to the Debt Financing or (ii) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing) to the extent such dispute would delay or prevent the Closing or result in insufficient financing to make all payments required to be made by Parent on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.03(b), or (z) any expiration or termination of the Debt Commitment Letter. Prior to the Closing, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to, or permit, any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Debt Commitment Letter (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any provision of the Fee Letter), if such amendment, modification or waiver would (1) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (except to the extent there is a corresponding increase in a Replacement Financing or other debt financing) to an amount less than the amount required to make all payments required to be made by the Parent on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.03(b), or, (2) impose new or additional conditions or expand upon (or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the interests of the Company) the conditions precedent to the receipt of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) materially delay or prevent the Closing, or (II) make the funding of any portion of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Debt Financing) less likely to occur. For purposes of this Section 6.12, the definitions of “Commitment Letters,” “Debt Commitment Letter” “Financing Commitments” and “Debt Financing Commitments” shall include the applicable documents for any Replacement Financing, and references to “Debt Financing”, and “Financing” shall include any Replacement Financing. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or waiver. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) has not been obtained, R1, Parent and Merger Sub shall continue to be obligated to consummate the Transactions subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02.
(c)    If, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Parent and Merger Sub to satisfy its obligations under Section 6.12(a), any of the Debt Financing (after giving effect to any other equity and/or debt financing that may then be available to cover such unavailable amount) on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (after taking into account any related market flex provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts promptly to arrange for alternative debt financing on terms and conditions in the aggregate not materially less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub than the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement (after taking into account any related market flex provisions set forth in the Fee

61



Letter) in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Debt Financing (any such alternative debt financing, a “Replacement Financing”) and the provisions of this Section 6.12 shall be applicable to the Replacement Financing. It is understood and agreed that in no event will the reasonable best efforts of Parent or Merger Sub be deemed or construed to require Parent or Merger Sub to pay any fees materially in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter (including market flex provisions set forth therein) as in effect on the date of this Agreement (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise). Parent shall deliver to the Company copies of any commitment letter associated with a Replacement Financing.
(d)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and the Company Subsidiaries’ officers, employees and advisors to, provide to Parent all cooperation that is reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with arranging, syndicating and obtaining the Debt Financing, including the following, in each case to the extent applicable under the relevant Debt Commitment Letter: (i) causing the Company’s senior officers to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations and conference calls with rating agencies that are customary for financings of a type similar to the Debt Financing; (ii) assisting with the preparation of (A) presentations and other customary documents and materials for rating agency presentations, and (B) bank information memoranda and lender presentations and other customary marketing documents and materials (including customary authorization letters with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information with respect to the Company and the accuracy in all material respects of the information with respect to the Company contained in the disclosure and marketing materials)) for any portion of the Debt Financing; (iii) assisting in the preparation of, and executing and delivering, definitive financing documents, including credit agreements, guarantee and collateral documents and customary closing certificates and other customary documents and instruments as may be required in connection with the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Lenders and that are not effective until as of, or after, the Closing; (iv) assisting Parent with Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial statements necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 4 of the Senior Debt Commitment Letter and Annex III thereto; provided, that neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries or Company Representatives shall be responsible in any manner for information relating to the proposed debt and equity capitalization that is required for such pro forma financial information; (v) facilitating, effective as of the Closing Date, the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral and the termination of the existing guarantee and collateral arrangements, release of encumbrances and obtaining payoff letters in accordance with Section 3.05 in respect of the holders of the Funded Indebtedness as set forth on Section 3.05 of the Company Disclosure Schedule; (vi) reasonably cooperating with Parent’s legal counsel in connection with any legal opinions that such legal counsel may be required to deliver in connection with the Debt Financing; (vii) if necessary, periodically update the Financing Information so that, to the Knowledge of the Company, such Financing Information does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not materially misleading (other than information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Affiliates); (viii) if reasonably requested in writing at least ten Business Days prior to Closing, providing at least five Business Days prior to Closing, and as reasonably requested by Parent, all documentation and other

62



information with respect to the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates that the Lenders have reasonably determined is required by regulatory authorities in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations (including the USA PATRIOT Act); (ix) causing direct contact between the Company's senior management, on the one hand, and the Financing Sources, on the other hand, at such times and locations mutually agreed upon; and (x) taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available on the Closing Date to fund the amounts required to be funded on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.03(b); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, until the Effective Time occurs, neither the Company nor the Company Subsidiaries shall (1) be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, (2) other than delivery of customary authorization letters with respect to information provided by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, be required to execute any document relating to the Debt Financing that will be effective prior to Closing, (3) be required to incur any liability in connection with the Debt Financing, (4) be required to provide any cooperation or information that does not pertain to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (it being understood that no officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be required to take any action other than on behalf of the Company and/or the applicable Company Subsidiary in his, her or their capacity as an officer of employee of the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary), or (5) be required to deliver any financial statements other than the Company Financial Statements. R1 and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and their respective officers, employees and representatives, from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 6.12(d) or any information provided in connection therewith, except in the event such liabilities or losses arose out of or result from a material misstatement in, or failure to state a material fact pertinent to, the written information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any fraud or any intentional misrepresentations with respect to any such written information. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, such requested cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. Promptly following the request of the Company, Parent will reimburse the Company for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company and/or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the assistance required by this Section 5.13.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing; provided that: (i) without the prior written consent of the Company, no such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver shall (1) reduce (or have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount in respect of the Financing) to less than the Required Amount (after giving effect to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s available cash on hand following the transactions otherwise contemplated by this Agreement), (2) add new conditions precedent or contingencies to the

63



Financing or amend, replace, supplement or modify any existing conditions precedent or contingencies to the Financing in a manner adverse to Parent (or its Affiliates) or that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay or make less likely to occur, the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions or contingencies to the Financing) on the Closing Date, (3)  delay the funding of the Financing or reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the availability of the Financing on the date upon which the Closing Date is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.02, (4) waive any remedy available to Parent or Merger Sub thereunder or adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce or cause the enforcement of its rights under the Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing or (5) impose obligations on the Company or its Affiliates that would be effective prior to the Effective Time or violate any other provision of the proviso to Section 6.12(d) above.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such access or examination shall be permitted to the extent that it (i) would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or (ii) would require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to disclose information that, in the reasonable judgment and good faith of counsel to the Company, is subject to attorney-client privilege or may conflict with any applicable Law or confidentiality obligations to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is bound; provided, that in each such case, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take those actions reasonably necessary so the Company or the Company Subsidiaries is able to provide such information to the Securityholder Representative or Company Stockholder (which efforts shall not require the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to waive its attorney-client privilege or violate any Contract or applicable Law).

(d)    None of R1, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their Affiliates shall take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “intermediary transaction tax shelter” described in IRS Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.
(e)    Straddle Period Allocation. For purposes of determining Indebtedness and Working Capital, in the case of any Tax other than a property, ad valorem or similar Tax imposed with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that is allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be

65



payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date (and, for such purposes, the taxable period of any Subsidiary of the Company that is a partnership or other pass-through entity or a “controlled foreign corporation” (as defined under Section 957 of the Code), shall be deemed to terminate at the end of the day on the Closing Date, such that any income Tax liability arising during such Pre-Closing Tax Period is allocated to the holder of each beneficial interest immediately before the end of the short taxable year ending on the Closing Date), provided that all permitted allowances, credits, exemptions and deductions that are normally computed on the basis of an entire year period (such as depreciation and amortization deductions) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be allocated between the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period and the post-Closing portion of the Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period. In the case of any property, ad valorem or similar Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.
(f)    Pre-Closing Tax Matters. Except to the extent required by Law, without the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent and its Affiliates shall not, and Parent and its Affiliates shall not permit the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to, take the following actions to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to increase an amount of Taxes for which the Company Stockholders are liable hereunder: (i) amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make or change any Income Tax election or accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (iii) make or initiate any voluntary contact with a Taxing Authority that is intended to lead to a voluntary disclosure agreement or could reasonably be expected to result in an increase in a Tax liability for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; or (iv) take any action relating to Taxes on the Closing Date after the Closing (other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) that is outside the ordinary course of business.
(g)    Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that (1) the fair market value of the capital stock of EMS Parent as of the Closing (the “EMS Parent Stock Value”) will be equal to the value described in the valuation of EMS Parent made available to Parent prior to the date hereof (the “EMS Valuation”), provided, however, that the Company shall cause the EMS Valuation to be updated and provided to Parent on or before the Closing Date setting forth an updated valuation of EMS Parent as of the Closing Date, which updated EMS Valuation shall apply the same methodology as used to prepare the EMS Valuation delivered to Parent prior to the date hereof, and the EMS Parent Stock Value will be equal to the value described in such updated EMS Valuation, and (2) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a portion of the Company Common Stock shall be treated as having been exchanged for shares of capital stock of EMS Parent in a redemption that is integrated with the Merger pursuant to Zenz v. Quinlivan, 213 F.2D 917 (6th Cir. 1954), and (ii) the other shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as having been exchanged for all other aggregate Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration in a purchase of such Company Common Stock by Parent. Except as required under applicable Law, no party hereto shall take any position that is

66



inconsistent with the value described in, or the treatment set forth in, this Section 6.18(g) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or where permissible, state or local tax purposes.
6.19    Reorganization. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall consummate the reorganization transactions described on Exhibit A hereto in a manner substantially consistent with the terms therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time after the date hereof, the Company may modify any transaction step described on Exhibit A hereto; provided, that, if such modification adversely affects Parent or R1, then the Company shall be required to obtain the consent of Parent or R1, as applicable, prior to implementing such modification (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
6.20    No Solicitation of Transactions. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (and the Company shall cause the Company Stockholders and its and their Affiliates and Representatives not to), directly or indirectly, submit, solicit, initiate, encourage, discuss or knowingly facilitate any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent, RI and their Affiliates in connection with the Transactions) or enter into any agreement or accept any offer relating to or consummate any (i) reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or recapitalization of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (other than not involving any Person other than the Company and any Company Subsidiary), (ii) merger or consolidation involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary (other than between the Company’s Subsidiaries), (iii) purchase or sale of any equity interests (or any rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, any such equity interests) or a material amount of assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or (iv) similar transaction or business combination involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary or a material amount of their businesses or assets; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ ability to effect the Reorganization (each such transaction, an “Acquisition Transaction”). Promptly and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, the Company will instruct any third parties to return or destroy all confidential information of the Company and any Company Subsidiary provided to such party in connection with such third party’s consideration of an Acquisition Transaction. In the event that the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or any Company Stockholder receives an inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to an Acquisition Transaction on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the Company will provide Parent with prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include the material terms of and the identity of the Person or Persons making, such inquiry, proposal or offer.
6.21    Written Consents; Notices. As promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Parent the Company Stockholder Approval. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take or cause to occur all requisite action, including adopting such resolutions and amendments to the Company Stock Plan and providing any notices to employees or contractors thereunder.
6.22    Termination of Related Party Transactions. Prior to the Closing, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall cause the Related Party Transactions set forth on Section 6.22 of the Company Disclosure Schedule to be terminated with no further financial

67



obligation following the Closing of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; provided that any rights to indemnification granted that by their terms survive termination thereunder shall survive such termination.
6.23    [Reserved].
6.24    Delivery of Certain Financial Statements. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to Parent after the date hereof the Company Financial Statements. The Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to consult with the Company and its representatives, including its independent accountants, from time to time prior to the Closing, with respect to the progress of the preparation of such Company Financial Statements. The Company and Parent shall work together in good faith to finalize the ASC 606 Paper as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, which ASC 606 Paper will be subject to Parent’s reasonable review and comment. Parent will lead the process related to the ASC 606 Paper. Parent shall pay (i) 50% of the documented and reasonable third party expenses incurred after the date hereof in connection with the preparation of the ASC 606 Paper in an aggregate amount not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and (ii) 100% of such expenses in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).
6.25    280G Matters. To the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that could be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then, the Company will (i) prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), and (ii) prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (i), submit to a vote of holders of the equity interests of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, in a manner intended to comply with Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, along with adequate disclosure intended to satisfy such requirements (including Q&A 7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such regulations), the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. At least three (3) Business Days prior to soliciting such waivers and approval, the Company shall provide drafts of such waivers and disclosure and approval materials, including the underlying Section 280G calculations, to Parent for its review and comment prior to soliciting such waivers, provided that the Company shall accept all reasonable and timely comments provided by Parent. If any of the Waived 280G Benefits fail to be approved as contemplated above, such Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided. To the extent applicable, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence that a vote of holders of the equity interests of the Company was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.25 and that either (i) the requisite number of votes of holders of the equity interests of the Company was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained, and, as a result, no Waived 280G Benefits shall be made or provided.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) (or collect the Ascension Termination Fee as a result of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(h)) if Parent has irrevocably waived the condition set forth in Section 7.02(h) on or prior to the Ascension Measurement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the prior termination of this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled, within five (5) Business Days of the Company’s termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section

73



8.03, in its sole discretion, to settle any claims arising from or relating to this Agreement by consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the payment by Parent of either of the Termination Fees is not a penalty, but constitutes liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the 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. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Parent be required to pay (i) both the Reverse Termination Fee and the Ascension Termination Fee or (ii) the Reverse Termination Fee or the Ascension Termination Fee on more than one occasion.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the Company’s rights expressly set forth in Section 10.13, each of the parties hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 8.01(g) or Section 8.01(h) and the Company’s right to receive payment of either of the Termination Fees (if payable pursuant to Section 8.03(a)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and each of the foregoing Person’s former, current or future Affiliates, their and their respective Affiliates’ management companies, investment vehicles, controlling persons, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents, Representatives, successors and assigns (each a “Company Related Party”) against the Parent, R1, Merger Sub, the Financing Sources, Ascension Health and each of the foregoing Person’s former, current or future Affiliates, management companies, investment vehicles, controlling persons, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents Representatives, successors and assigns (each a “Parent Related Party”) with respect to any losses in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions, and the Company Related Parties shall be deemed to have waived all other remedies (including equitable remedies) with respect to any losses suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing to occur or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder, under the Debt Commitment Letter or otherwise, and, upon payment of either of the Termination Fees to the Company pursuant to Section 8.03(a), none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions (except that Parent shall continue to be obligated to the Company for amounts only to the extent payable under Section 8.03(d)). Except for a claim to recover any Termination Fee (to the extent payable), no Company Related Party shall bring, and the Company shall direct all other Company Related Parties not to bring, and shall in no event support, facilitate or encourage, the bringing of any Action (under any legal theory, whether sounding in law or in equity (in each case whether for breach of contract, in tort or otherwise)) against a Parent Related Party with respect to, arising out of, or in connection with, the failure of the Closing to occur or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder, under the Debt Commitment Letter or otherwise (in any case, whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise), and the Company shall cause any such Action pending as of any termination of this Agreement to be

74



dismissed with prejudice as promptly as practicable after such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 8.03), following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, under no circumstances will any Company Related Party, or the Company Related Parties in the aggregate, be entitled to monetary damages or monetary remedies for any claims, damages or other losses suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in the Debt Commitment Letter to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or thereunder or for any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, in excess of the amount of the applicable Termination Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.03 shall be in any way limit or modify the rights of Parent and its Affiliates under the Debt Commitment Letter or the obligations of the Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter.
(d)    If Parent fails to pay either of the Termination Fees when due, Parent shall also pay to the Company all of the Company’s reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with all Actions to collect such Termination Fee and such other amounts to the extent such Termination Fee is paid, or ordered or otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order with respect thereto, to be paid, to the Company.

9.03    Claims Procedure.
(a)    In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, any Indemnified Party has (i) a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party (as defined below) pursuant to Section 9.02 (a “Direct Claim”) or (ii) receives notice of the assertion of any claim, the issuance of any order or the commencement of any Action by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of such party, including any Governmental Entity, against such Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim” and together with any Direct Claim, each, a “Claim”), for which any Company Stockholder is or may be required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) (including, in each case to the extent known, by providing reasonable detail of the facts giving rise to such Claim and the amount or estimated amount of Losses, resulting from or based upon such Claim), together with a statement of any available information regarding such Claim, promptly but in any event within thirty (30) days after learning of such Claim (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to and defend any Third-Party Claim); provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby.
(b)    The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (subject to the limitations set forth below), upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of any Third-Party Claim, to conduct at its expense the defense against such Third-Party Claim by appointing counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided, that prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming control of such defense it shall first verify to the Indemnified Party in writing that such Indemnifying Party shall (subject to any dollar limitations set forth herein) be responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to such Third-Party Claim and that (subject to any dollar limitations set forth herein) it shall provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Action giving rise to such Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party elects to conduct the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense, and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by it. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense, provided that the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except in the event that the Indemnified Party determines in good faith and upon the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party that there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) counsel to the Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations in this Article IX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (1) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory action taken by a Governmental Entity, indictment, allegation or investigation, (2) the Third-Party Claim does not involve money damages and primarily seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (3) upon

76



petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim, (4) the Indemnifying Party reasonably believes in good faith that the Losses relating to the Third-Party Claim could exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party could then be entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of this Article IX, or (5) it is reasonably expected that the Indemnified Party (as opposed to the Indemnifying Party) will bear a greater portion of the Losses with respect to such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that if (x) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party or (y) such compromise or settlement expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, then the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party is not required. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim, which offer the Indemnifying Party is permitted to settle under this Section 9.03 only upon the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party will give prompt written notice to the Indemnified Party to that effect. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to a firm offer made to settle a Third-Party Claim and also fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(c)    Any Direct Claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof in accordance with Section 9.03(a). The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations within sixty (60) days after the conclusion of the thirty (30)-day response period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction or by any other means to which the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall agree. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party, such Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed an obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, and the Indemnified Party will direct the Escrow Agent to pay the amount of such Losses to the Indemnified Party on demand.

77



9.04    Certain Limitations.
(a)    The amount of any Losses payable under this Article IX by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) any reduction in cash Taxes otherwise payable (determined on a with and without basis) to the extent actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses no later than the second taxable year after the taxable year in which the indemnification payment is made. If the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, or actually realizes such a reduction in Taxes (calculated as described in the preceding sentence) subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, in each case that was not taken into account under the immediately preceding sentence, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any such payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received or realized by the Indemnified Party net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount and any increases in insurance premiums.
(b)    The Indemnified Parties agree to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses arising out of or relating to the Specified Matters consistent with Delaware Law.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, recovery from the Specified Matters Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to any Indemnified Party for Losses related to, in connection with or arising from the Specified Matters, and on the date that the amount of cash in the Specified Matters Escrow Account is reduced to zero, the Indemnified Parties shall have no further rights to indemnification under this Article IX.
9.05    Release of Escrow Funds. Subject to any other limitations set forth herein, in the event of any Remaining Specified Matters Escrow Amount on the day that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date that is not subject to a then pending Claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02, such Remaining Specified Matters Escrow Amount shall be released to the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Company Stockholders) pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
9.06    Exclusive Remedy. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing (except for (i) disputes under Section 3.06, which disputes will be resolved in accordance with the dispute mechanism set forth in Section 3.06, (ii) any claims based upon Fraud, (iii) any claims made pursuant to the RWI Policy or (iv) any claims based upon breach of any Surviving Covenant) its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Transactions shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX; provided, however, that each party hereto shall be entitled to specific performance for failure of the other party to perform its obligations hereunder, as provided in Section 10.13. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article IX shall limit any claims based upon Fraud.

78



9.07    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Final Cash Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Company Related Party and each of the other parties hereto (i) agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (ii) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (iii) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

10.08    Interpretation.
(a)    When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of or to this Agreement

10.09    Company Disclosure Schedule.
(a)    The Company Disclosure Schedule and the information and disclosures contained therein relate to and qualify certain of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made by the Company in this Agreement and shall not be construed or otherwise deemed to constitute, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company or any other Person except to the extent explicitly provided in the Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any of such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication, in and of itself, that such item represents a material

83



exception or material fact, event or circumstance, that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only. No reference in the Company Disclosure Schedule to any agreement or document, in and of itself, shall be construed as an admission or indication that such agreement or document is enforceable or currently in effect or that there are any obligations remaining to be performed or any rights that may be exercised under such agreement or document. No disclosure in the Company Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of, or non-compliance with, any agreement, law or regulation, in and of itself, shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach, violation or non-compliance exists or has actually occurred, and nothing in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall constitute an admission of any liability or obligation of any Person to any other Person or shall confer or give any third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or any other right whatsoever. Neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in the Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in the Agreement or included in the Company Disclosure Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of the Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule is arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections in the Agreement and any items or matters set forth in one section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to apply to and qualify the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds and each other Section or subsection of the Agreement to the extent the relevance of such items or matters to such other Section or subsection of this Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The inclusion of any cross-references to any Schedules, or the failure to include such cross-references, shall not be deemed to mean that the relevance of any disclosure is not reasonably apparent on its face for the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence. The headings contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule are included for convenience and reference only, and are not intended to limit the effect of the disclosures contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule or to expand, modify or influence the scope of the information required to be disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the interpretation of this Agreement.
(b)    The information contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule is confidential, proprietary information of the Company, and Parent, R1 and Merger Sub shall be obligated to maintain and protect such confidential information pursuant to this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement. In disclosing the information in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company expressly does not waive any attorney-client privilege or other similar privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine or other similar doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed herein.
10.10    Waiver and Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a mutual written agreement executed and delivered by the Company (with the consent of the Securityholder Representative) and Parent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of any party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition

84



herein may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.10, no amendment or modification or waiver in any manner of Section 8.03(c), Section 10.02, Section 10.03, Section 10.10, Section 10.12, Section 10.13(b) and Section 10.16(b) (and the related definitions in this Agreement (solely as such definitions are used therein)) that is adverse to the Financing Sources shall become effective without the prior written consent of the adversely affected Financing Sources.
10.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by means of facsimile or email in Portable Document Format, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.
10.12    Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, only the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns except (a) as set forth in Section 6.10, Section 10.15, and Section 10.16, (b) for the right of the Company on behalf of the Company Stockholders to pursue damages in the event the Closing has not occurred as a result of Parent’s, R1’s or Merger Sub’s breach of this Agreement or (c) after the Effective Time, if Parent or R1 shall not have made payments in accordance with Article III, the right of the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of each Company Stockholder) to enforce directly the Company Stockholders’ right to receive the amounts payable pursuant to Article III. Nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that the provisions of Section 8.03(c), Section 10.02, Section 10.03, Section 10.10, this Section 10.12, Section 10.13(b) and Section 10.16(b) (and the related definitions in this Agreement (solely as such definitions are used therein)), in each case, solely as and to the extent pertaining to the Financing Sources, are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Financing Sources.
10.13    Remedies.
(a)    Immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, subject to Section 10.01, Section 10.02, and Section 10.13(b), if for any reason the Company, Parent, R1 or Merger Sub shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise breached this Agreement prior to Closing or the earlier valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, then the party seeking to enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming party under this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and the issuance of immediate injunctive and other equitable relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, and the parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy to which they

85



are entitled at law or in equity. Prior to the Closing or the earlier valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, to the extent any party hereto brings any Action, claim, complaint or other proceeding, in each case, before any Governmental Entity to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to the Closing, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action, claim, complaint or other proceeding is pending, plus 20 Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action, claim, complaint or other proceeding.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 10.13(a)), the right of the Company to seek specific performance of Parent’s obligation to pay the Estimated Cash Merger Consideration and to consummate the Closing in accordance with Section 2.02 shall only be available if (and so long as): (i) all conditions in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but each of which is capable of being, and is reasonably expected to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived at the time when the Closing would have occurred in accordance with Section 2.02 (after taking into account the Marketing Period), (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent (and the Company shall not have delivered written notice purporting to revoke such notice) that (1) all conditions in Section 7.01 and Section 7.03 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but each of which is capable of being, and is reasonably expected to be satisfied at the Closing) or the Company is willing to irrevocably waive such open condition(s) and (2) if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing are funded, the Company stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 2.02. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue either a grant of specific performance of the obligations of Parent, R1 and Merger Sub to consummate the Closing in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 10.11 and payment of either of the Termination Fees in accordance with Section 8.03, in no event shall Parent be obligated to both (x) specifically perform the obligation to consummate the Closing and (y) pay the Reverse Termination Fee or the Ascension Termination Fee.
10.14    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof.
10.15    Securityholder Representative.
(a)    Pursuant to the adoption of this Agreement by Company Stockholders representing greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, each Company Stockholder will be deemed to have irrevocably designated, appointed, authorized and empowered the Securityholder Representative to act as a representative for the benefit of each Company Stockholder as the exclusive agent and attorney‑in‑fact with the power and authority to act on behalf of each Company Stockholder in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions (including the Merger), which shall include the power and authority as is necessary to carry out the functions assigned to the Securityholder Representative under this Agreement;

86



provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative shall have no obligation to the Company Stockholders to act, except as expressly provided herein, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securityholder Representative shall have the power and authority:
(i)    to execute and deliver such waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as the Securityholder Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable, including any amendments or modifications to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements;
(ii)    to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Company Stockholders and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Securityholder Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and the other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby or the Merger and other transactions provided for herein or therein, and to take any and all actions which the Securityholder Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements for and on behalf of the Company Stockholders.

(iii)    to refrain from enforcing any right of the Company Stockholders, arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement or the other documents contemplated hereby; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Securityholder Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Securityholder Representative or by the Company Stockholders unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Securityholder Representative;
(iv)    to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings (including, without limitation, the EMS Stockholders Agreement and any joinders thereto), and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Securityholder Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction

(b)    Parent and R1 may rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Securityholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Company Stockholders.
(c)    The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Stockholder and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Agreements.

Any such successor shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the Securityholder Representative as representative of the Company Stockholders hereunder. If for any reason there is no Securityholder Representative at any time, all references herein or in any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby to the Securityholder Representative in which the Securityholder Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Company Stockholders shall be deemed to refer to the Company Stockholders. Each Company Stockholder upon the execution of a Letter of Transmittal, agrees that any action taken by the Securityholder Representative on its behalf pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby and thereby, including all actions and inactions permitted by this Section 10.15, shall be fully binding on them.

By the execution of a Letter of Transmittal each Company Stockholder irrevocably shall agree that the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Securityholder Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such persons. By the execution of a Letter of Transmittal each Company Stockholder irrevocably shall agree that the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company Stockholders against any loss, liability or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the Securityholder Representative (except for those arising out of Securityholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), including the costs and expenses of investigation and defense of claims. The Company Stockholders will indemnify the Securityholder Representative in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence on a pro rata basis based on their respective equity interest in the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing.
(f)    The parties acknowledge that the Securityholder Representative’s obligations under this Section 10.15 are solely as a representative of the Company Stockholders and that the Securityholder Representative shall have no personal responsibility or liability for any expenses, costs or other liabilities incurred by it in such capacity.
10.16    No Recourse.
