OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

The Seller, the Company and the Purchaser covenant and agree as follows:

Section 8.01 Tax Matters. The Purchaser and the Seller covenant and agree as

income Taxes attributable to such income. The Company shall furnish Tax
information for inclusion in such
 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

consolidated Tax Return for the period that includes the Closing Date in
accordance with the Company's past custom and practice. The income of the
Company shall be apportioned to the period up to an including the Closing Date
and the period after the Closing Date by closing the books of the Company as of
the end of business on the Closing Date.

(ii)    The Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared within the time and in
the manner provided by Law, all tax returns of The Company ("Returns") for all
periods commencing prior to the Closing Date and ending on or before the Closing
Date that are due after the Closing Date, subject to the Purchaser's reasonable
and prompt review of such Returns. Purchaser shall cooperate with the Seller in
connection with such Returns including, without limitation, the signing and
filing of such Returns. Such Returns shall be prepared and filed in accordance
with applicable law and in a manner consistent with past practices and shall be
subject to review and approval by the Purchaser.

(iii)    For purposes of this Section 8.01, in the case of any Taxes that are
imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes
(but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to
the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (A) in the
case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts,
be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied
by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period
ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in
the entire Taxable period, and (B) in the case of any Tax based upon or related
to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if
the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a
Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken
into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date.
All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall
be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company and all such
Returns shall be prepared and filed in accordance with applicable law and in a
manner consistent with past practices.

(iv)    In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period
that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, other than
Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable

Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, (B)
imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property
(real or personal, tangible or intangible)(other than conveyances pursuant to
this Agreement), or (C) payable with respect to employee compensation, deemed
equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the
Closing Date.
 
(v)    Any Taxes relating to any event which occurs on the Closing Date, but
after the Closing, shall be deemed to be attributable to a period commencing
after the Closing Date and shall not be considered a liability on the Statement.

(vi)    The Purchaser and the Company on one hand, and the Seller, on the other
hand, shall (A) cooperate fully, as reasonably requested, in connection with the
preparation and filing of Returns pursuant to this Section 8.01 and any audit,
litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes; (B) make available to the
other, as reasonably requested, all
 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
information, records or documents with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the
Company for all periods ending prior to or including the Closing Date, which
information, records and documents shall be held subject to the confidentiality
provisions hereof; and (C) preserve information, records or documents relating
to Tax matters pertinent to the Company that are in its possession or under
their control until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or
extensions thereof.
 
             (vii)    The Purchaser shall timely pay all transfer, documentary,
sales, use, stamp and other Taxes and fees arising from or relating to the
transfer or disposition of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, and the
Purchaser shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Returns and other
documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, stamp and
other Taxes and fees relating to such transfer or disposition of the Shares. If
required by applicable law, the Seller and the Company will join in the
execution of any such Returns and other documentation.

(viii)    Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Company relating to any taxable
period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the
Seller. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Company for any taxable period
beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Purchaser and
the Company. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Company for any taxable
period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be equitably
apportioned between the Seller and the Purchaser. Purchaser shall, if the Seller
so requests and at the Seller's expense, cause the Company to file for and
obtain any such refunds or credits to which the Seller is entitled under this
Section 8.01(a)(vii). Purchaser shall cause the Company to permit the Seller to
control the prosecution of any such refund claim, shall promptly forward and
shall cause the Company to promptly forward to the Seller all notices or other
communications received with respect to any such refund claim, and where deemed
appropriate by the Seller, shall cause the Company to authorize by appropriate
powers of attorney such Person as the Seller shall designate to represent the
Company with respect to such refund claim. Purchaser shall cause the Company to
permit Purchaser and the Seller to control jointly the prosecution of any refund
or credit claim for any taxable period that begins before and ends after the
Closing Date if such refund is to be equitably apportioned between the Purchaser
and the Seller. The Purchaser shall cause the Company to forward to the Seller
any refund to which the Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 8.01(a)(vii)
within five (5) Business Days after the refund is received (or reimburse the
Seller for any such credit within five (5) Business Days after the credit is
applied against other tax liabilities).

(ix)    The Seller shall be responsible for preparing any amended Returns for
taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are required as a
result of examination adjustments made by the Internal Revenue Service or by the
applicable state, local or other taxing authorities for such taxable years as
finally determined with respect to the Company. Any required amended returns
resulting from such examination adjustments, as finally determined, shall be
prepared by the Seller and such federal returns shall be furnished to the
Company for approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), signature, and filing at least 30 days prior to the due date for
filing such amended Returns.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.01,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to any taxable
period that begins before the
 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Closing Date and ends on or after the Closing Date, the portion of any such Tax
that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall
not include any Taxes which the Company would not have owed or would not have
become liable for if the Company had not been acquired by the Purchaser. By way
of illustration, if as a result of the acquisition of the Company by the
Purchaser, the Company obtains a tax nexus in any jurisdiction in which the
Company would not have had a tax nexus had the Company not been acquired by the
Purchaser, such tax liability shall be allocated to the Purchaser.
 
Section 8.02 Confidential Nature of Obligations. Purchaser acknowledges that the
information being provided to it in connection with the Acquisition and the
consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the
terms of a confidentiality agreement between the Purchaser, The Company and the
Seller dated December 16, 2008 (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), the terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 8.03 Maintenance of Books and Records. Each of the parties hereto shall
preserve until the sixth (6`s) anniversary of the Closing Date all records
possessed or to be possessed by such party relating to the business of The
Company prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, any party having
legitimate need for such access shall, upon prior reasonable request specifying
such need, be provided with access during regular business hours to: (i) the
officers and employees of such party; and (ii) the books of account and records
of such party, but, in each such case, only to the extent relating to the
business of the Company and Paxis prior to the Closing Date; provided, however,
that the foregoing right of access shall not be exercised in a manner
interfering unreasonably with the normal operations and business of the party
required to afford such access.

Section 8.04 Investigations.

(a)    The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it: (i) has made its own
inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent
judgment concerning, the Shares, the Company, the assets and liabilities of the
Company; (ii) has been furnished with or given adequate access to such
information about the Shares, and the Company and the assets and liabilities of
the Company, as it has requested, including those documents and materials made
available to the Purchaser and its representatives in management presentations.

(b)    In connection with the Purchaser's investigation of the Company, the
Purchaser has received from the Seller certain estimates, projections and other
forecasts for the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges that there are
uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections,
forecasts, plans and budgets, that the Purchaser is familiar with such
uncertainties, that the Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its
own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections,
forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to it, and that the Purchaser will not
assert any claim against any of the Seller or any of their agents, Affiliates,
consultants, investment bankers or representatives, or hold any of Seller or any
such persons liable with respect thereto.

(c)    Disclosure of any fact or item in any Section of this Agreement, or any
Schedule hereto, shall, should the existence of the fact or item be relevant to
any other Section of this Agreement or any other Schedule hereto, be deemed
disclosed with respect to such other
 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section of this Agreement and Schedule, but only to the extent such relevance is
apparent on the face of such disclosure (without need for investigation or
inquiry by Purchaser).

Section 8.05 Non-competition. Seller and Paxis covenant and agree that for a
period ending three years from the Closing Date, Seller and Paxis will not,
without the consent of Purchaser, directly or indirectly, in the United States
of America ("Territory"), own, manage, finance, operate, join, control or
participate in the ownership, management, financing, operation or control of, or
be employed or connected in any manner with any business that competes with the
Business.
 
Section 8.06 Intercompany Indebtedness. At Closing, Seller shall eliminate and
forgive any Indebtedness owed to it by the Company.

indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) specify in detail, to the

nature of the representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or conduct to which
such Losses and Expenses are related. An Indemnified Party shall provide Notice

defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of
its choice and at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense; provided,

other pleading that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect its
interests during such twenty (20) day period at the Indemnifying Party's cost
and expense. In the event that (a) an Indemnification Acknowledgement is not
timely given as provided herein, (b) the Indemnifying Party does not offer
reasonable assurances to the Indemnified Party as to the Indemnifying Party's
financial capacity to satisfy any final judgment or settlement or to diligently
defend such claim, the Indemnified Party may, upon written notice to the
Indemnifying Party, assume the defense (with legal counsel chosen by the
Indemnified Party) and dispose of the claim, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of
the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith: (i) the Indemnified Party may
retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party
Claim, which retention and participation (except as provided in the next
sentence) shall be at its sole cost and expense; (ii) the Indemnified Party will

any wrongdoing; or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim, in each case, without the

Acknowledgment, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own
counsel in respect of any Third Party Claim, but the fees and
 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party's own cost and
expense, unless (A) the employment of such counsel and the payment of such fees
and expenses shall have been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party
in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, or (B) the
Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently defend the Third Party Claim. The
parties will use reasonable best efforts to minimize Losses and Expenses from
Third Party Claims and will act in good faith in responding to, defending
against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties will also
cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all
information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed
the defense, such Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that
was consented to without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent (such
written consent will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably).
