Escrow Agreement.



          (b) Upon confirmation from the Texas Secretary of State that the Certificate of Merger has

               (i) each Shareholder shall deliver to Parent for cancellation the certificate(s) representing

Transmittal Letter”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A;



               (ii) Parent shall submit to its transfer agent an order for the issuance of the Parent Shares

               (iii) Parent shall submit to its transfer agent an order for the issuance to the Shareholders

further action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the Company Shares:



          (a) Each Company Share shall be converted into the right to receive the following:

using the Share Valuation Method);



               (ii) from Parent at the time set forth in Section 1.6, cash equal to the quotient of
(A) the Closing Amount Adjustment payable to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 1.6, if

the Effective Time;



               (iii) from the Escrow Agent at the time set forth in the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed
Shares, if any, to which the holder of such Company Share is entitled pursuant to the Escrow

one share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

          (c) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Shares shall be issued
as part of any amount of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration that a Shareholder has a right to
receive. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event a Shareholder would
otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Shares such fraction shall
be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share.




     1.6 Closing Amount Adjustment.



          (a) Target Working Capital. The Closing Amount will be adjusted by the difference
between the Closing Date Working Capital and Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($3,750,000) (the “Target Working Capital”).




          (b) Closing Amount Adjustment. If the Closing Date Working Capital set forth in the
Final Balance Sheet is greater than the Target Working Capital, the Closing Amount will be
increased by such excess and if the Closing Date Working Capital set forth in the Final Balance
Sheet is less than the Target Working Capital, the Closing Amount will be decreased by such
shortfall (the amount of any such adjustment, the “Closing Amount Adjustment”). If the
Closing Amount is increased pursuant to this Section 1.6, then Parent will pay to each of
the Shareholders by wire transfer in immediately available funds, within fifteen (15) days
following finalization of the Final Balance Sheet pursuant to subsection (c) below, an amount equal
to the product of (i) the Closing Amount Adjustment, multiplied by (ii) such Shareholder’s
Ownership Percentage. If the Closing Amount is decreased pursuant to this Section 1.6,
then each Shareholder will pay to Parent by wire transfer in immediately available funds, within
fifteen (15) days following finalization of the Final Balance Sheet pursuant to subsection (c)
below, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Closing Amount Adjustment, multiplied by
(ii) such Shareholder’s Ownership Percentage; provided, however, that if any
Shareholder does not pay such amount within such 15-day period, Parent shall have the right to
setoff such amount against any amounts of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration payable to the
Shareholders hereunder.




          (c) Adjustment Procedures. The adjustments described in Section 1.6(b) will
be determined as follows:




               (i) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the
Shareholder Representative a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date which shall set
forth the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Final Balance Sheet”). The parties
acknowledge and agree that for purposes of determining the Closing Amount Adjustment pursuant to
this Section 1.6(c)(i) the Final Balance Sheet shall be prepared on a basis consistent with
and utilizing the same principles, practices and policies of the Company as those used in preparing
the Most Recent Balance Sheet.



               (ii) The Shareholder Representative and any professionals chosen by the Shareholder
Representative shall have the right to review the Surviving Corporation’s books and records
relating to, and the work papers of Parent and its advisors utilized in preparing, the Final
Balance Sheet. The Final Balance Sheet shall be binding for purposes of the Closing Amount
Adjustment unless the Shareholder Representative presents to Parent within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Final Balance Sheet from Parent written notice of disagreement specifying in
reasonable detail the nature and extent of the disagreement.

               (iii) If the Shareholder Representative delivers a timely notice of disagreement, Parent and
the Shareholder Representative shall attempt in good faith during the thirty (30) days immediately
following Parent’s receipt of timely notice of disagreement to resolve any disagreement with
respect to the Final Balance Sheet. If, at the conclusion of such 30-day period, Parent and the
Shareholder Representative have not resolved their disagreements regarding the Final Balance Sheet,
Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall refer the items of disagreement for final
determination to the Austin, Texas office of a national or regional accounting firm which is
mutually acceptable to Parent and the Shareholder Representative (the “Accountants”).
However, if Parent and the Shareholder Representative are unable to agree on such a firm which is
willing to so serve, Parent shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative a list of the Austin,
Texas offices of two independent national or regional accounting firms that are not auditors, tax
advisors or other consultants to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Shareholder
Representative (or any of their respective Affiliates), and the Shareholder Representative shall
select one of such two firms to be the Accountants within five (5) Business Days. The Accountants,
Parent and the Shareholder Representative will enter into such engagement letters as required by
the Accountants to perform under this Section 1.6(c)(iii). The Parties will be reasonably
available for the Accountants, and shall instruct the Accountants to render a final determination
within the twenty (20) days immediately following the referral to the Accountants. The Final
Balance Sheet shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding on Parent and the Shareholders upon (A)
the failure of the Shareholder Representative to deliver to Parent a notice of disagreement thirty
(30) days after receipt of the Final Balance Sheet prepared by Parent, (B) resolution of any
disagreement by mutual agreement of Parent and the Shareholder Representative after a timely notice
of disagreement has been delivered to Parent, or (C) notification by the Accountants of their final
determination of the items of disagreement submitted to them.



               (iv) The fees and disbursements of the Accountants under this Section 1.6(c) shall be
borne exclusively by the Shareholders, unless the adjustments to the Final Balance Sheet resulting
from the Shareholder Representative’s notice of disagreement caused change in the Closing Amount
Adjustment in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in favor of the Shareholders, in which
case such fees and disbursements shall be borne exclusively by Parent. In the event the
Shareholders are obligated to pay the fees and disbursements of the Accountants hereunder, such
amounts shall be disbursed from the Escrow Fund, and then from any other amounts of the Aggregate
Transaction Consideration payable to the Shareholders hereunder, whether by right of setoff or
otherwise, or if amounts payable hereunder are not sufficient, upon demand by Parent, from the
Shareholders.

pursuant to this Section 1.8(a); and

               (ii) EBITDA equals or exceeds $3,000,000, then Parent shall pay as additional Aggregate

EBITDA (including the first $3,000,000 thereof) (the “First EBITDA Payment”);
provided, however, that the maximum First EBITDA Payment shall be $4,500,000.



          (b) EBITDA Portion (Second Earnout Period). Subject to the terms and conditions of

               (i) EBITDA is less than $4,500,000, then Parent shall not be required to pay any amount
pursuant to this Section 1.8(b); and



               (ii) EBITDA equals or exceeds $4,500,000, then Parent shall pay as additional Aggregate

forth in Section 1.8(e), an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the amount of all such
EBITDA (including the first $4,500,000 thereof) (the “Second EBITDA Payment” and
collectively with the First EBITDA Payment, the “EBITDA Payments”); provided,
however, that the maximum Second EBITDA Payment shall be the sum of $4,500,000 plus the
amount, if any, by which the First EBITDA Payment is less than $4,500,000; provided,
further, that if EBITDA for the First Earnout Period is less than $3,000,000, the maximum
Second EBITDA Payment shall be $4,500,000.



          (c) ***




          (d) Revenue Target Portion. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
1.8, if Revenues for the Second Earnout Period equals or exceeds $17,500,000, then Parent shall
pay $1,000,000 as additional Aggregate Transaction Consideration pursuant to Section
1.8(f).




          (e) Earnout Caps. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent be required to
pay more than: (i) $4,500,000 pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(ii); (ii) $9,000,000 in the
aggregate for all payments pursuant to Sections 1.8(a)(ii) and 1.8(b)(ii); (iii) $4,000,000
in the aggregate for all payments pursuant to Section 1.8(c) (collectively, the
“Strategic Objectives Payments”); and (iv) $1,000,000 pursuant to Section 1.8(d)
(the “Revenues Payment” and collectively with the EBITDA Payments and the Strategic
Objectives Payments, the “Earnout Payments”).




          (f) Allocation and Payment of Earnout Payments. If an Earnout Payment is due, then
Parent shall pay such Earnout Payment to the Shareholders and to the holders of the Options
terminated prior to the Closing set forth on Part II of Exhibit B (the “Option
Holders”) as follows.

               (i) Until Total Consideration equals or exceeds the Option Holder Threshold, each Earnout
Payment (or group of Earnout Payments being paid contemporaneously) shall be payable to the
Shareholders in accordance with the percentages set forth in Part I of Exhibit B and the
Option Holders shall not be entitled to any portion of such Earnout Payments; provided,
that each Shareholder shall first receive a portion of the Earnout Payment(s) equal to any
Indemnification Payments made by such Shareholder (to the extent a payment has not already been
made to such Shareholder in respect of such Indemnification Payments).



               (ii) When Total Consideration is greater than the Option Holder Threshold, to the extent any
Earnout Payment (or group of Earnout Payments being paid contemporaneously) causes Total
Consideration to be greater than the Option Holder Threshold, the amount of Earnout Payments in
excess of the Option Holder Threshold shall be payable to the Shareholders and Option Holders in
accordance with the percentages set forth in Part II of Exhibit B; provided, that
each Shareholder shall first receive a portion of the Earnout Payment(s) equal to any
Indemnification Payments made by such Shareholder (to the extent a payment has not already been
made to such Shareholder in respect of such Indemnification Payments).



               (iii) All payments due to the Shareholders pursuant to Sections 1.8(f)(i) and (ii)
shall be made by the issuance to each Shareholder of a number of Parent Shares equal in value to
the amount due to such Shareholder (valuing the Parent Shares, for purposes of this Section
1.8(f)(i), using the Share Valuation Method). For the avoidance of doubt, the Share Valuation
Method will be applied as of the date on which EBITDA for the applicable period is finally
determined pursuant to Section 1.8(g). Parent shall pay any amount due to the Option
Holders under Section 1.8(f)(ii) by delivery of cash or check for good funds, subject to
any applicable withholding.



               (iv) Healthcare Growth Partners, LLC shall be entitled to receive from each Earnout Payment an
amount equal to two percent (2%) of such Earnout Payment. Parent shall pay the amount due to
Healthcare Growth Partners, LLC by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account

               (v) Parent shall pay the First EBITDA Payment, if any, and any Strategic Objectives Payments
achieved prior to the end of the First Earnout Period within five (5) Business Days (in the case of
the Shareholders and Healthcare Growth Partners, LLC) or within thirty (30) days (in the case of
the Option Holders) following the date on which EBITDA for the First Earnout Period is finally
determined pursuant to Section 1.8(g). If the strategic objective set forth in Section
1.8(c)(i) is achieved after the end of the First Earnout Period and prior to March 31, 2011, Parent
shall pay such Strategic Objective Payment within five (5) Business Days (in the case of the
Shareholders and Healthcare Growth Partners, LLC) or within thirty (30) days (in the case of the
Option Holders) of the achievement of such strategic objective. Parent shall pay the Second EBITDA
Payment, if any, the Revenues Payment, if any, and any Strategic Objectives Payments achieved prior
to the end of the Second Earnout Period within five (5) Business Days (in the case of the
Shareholders and Healthcare Growth Partners, LLC) or within thirty (30) days (in the case of the
Option Holders) following the date on which EBITDA for the Second Earnout Period is finally
determined pursuant to Section 1.8(g). If the strategic objective set forth in Section
1.8(c)(ii) is achieved after the end of the Second Earnout



-6-









 




Period and prior to May 10, 2012, Parent shall pay such Strategic Objective Payment within
five (5) Business Days (in the case of the Shareholders and Healthcare Growth Partners, LLC) or
within thirty (30) days (in the case of the Option Holders) of the achievement of such strategic
objective.




          (g) Earnout Procedures.




               (i) Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Earnout Period, Parent shall deliver to
the Shareholder Representative a certificate (the “Earnout Certificate”) which shall set
forth EBITDA, Revenues, if applicable, and achievement of the strategic objectives set forth in
Section 1.8(c), if applicable, for the Earnout Period and the Earnout Payment due for such
Earnout Period, if any. A sample Earnout Payment calculation is attached hereto as Exhibit
I.



               (ii) The Shareholder Representative and any professionals chosen by the Shareholder
Representative shall have the right to review the Surviving Corporation’s books and records
relating to, and the work papers of Parent and its advisors utilized in preparing the Earnout
Certificate. The amount of the Earnout Payment set forth in the Earnout Certificate shall be
binding on the Shareholders unless the Shareholder Representative presents to Parent within thirty
(30) days after receipt of the Earnout Certificate written notice of disagreement specifying in
reasonable detail the nature and extent of the disagreement. Parent and the Shareholder
Representative shall attempt in good faith during the thirty (30) days immediately following
Parent’s receipt of the Shareholder Representative’s timely notice of disagreement to resolve any
disagreement with respect to such Earnout Payment.



               (iii) If, at the end of the 30-day period referenced in subsection (ii) above, Parent and the
Shareholder Representative have not resolved all disagreements with respect to whether the
calculation of the Earnout Payment is in accordance with the terms of Section 1.8, Parent
and the Shareholder Representative will refer the items of disagreement to the Accountants (to the
extent the items of disagreement relate to the calculation of EBITDA or Revenues), which shall be
selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.6(c)(iii), or to the Software
Consultants (to the extent the items of disagreement relate to the achievement of the strategic
objectives set forth in Section 1.8(c)). The parties will be reasonably available and work
diligently to facilitate the mediation of all disputes between the parties within the 30-day period
immediately following the referral to the Accountants and/or the Software Consultants, as
applicable. Parent and the Shareholder Representative will enter into such engagement letters as
required by the Accountants or Software Consultants to perform under this Section
1.8(g)(iii). The Earnout Certificate shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding on Parent
and the Shareholders upon (A) the failure of the Shareholder Representative to deliver to Parent a
notice of disagreement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Earnout Certificate prepared by
Parent, (B) resolution of any disagreement by mutual agreement of Parent and the Shareholder
Representative (and any resulting modification of the Earnout Certificate) after a timely notice of
disagreement has been delivered to Parent, or (C) notification by the Accountants or Software
Consultants, as applicable, of their final determination of the items of disagreement submitted to
them (and any resulting modification of the Earnout Certificate); provided that nothing
herein shall prohibit Shareholders from challenging the Earnout Certificate in any court of
competent jurisdiction based on any item that is not an accounting dispute or the achievement of a
specific

strategic objective (including Parent’s failure to comply with its obligations under
Section 1.8(h) or (i)).




               (iv) The fees and disbursements of the Accountants under this Section 1.8(g) shall be
deducted from the Earnout Payment (and borne by the Shareholders if there is no Earnout Payment),
unless it is determined that (A) the Earnout Certificate understated the Earnout Payment by at
least One Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($140,000) or (B) Parent acted in bad faith with respect
to such understatement, in either which case such fees and disbursements will be borne exclusively
by Parent. The fees and disbursements of the Software Consultants under this Section
1.8(g) shall be divided equally between Parent, on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the
other hand, with the Shareholders’ portion being deducted from the Earnout Payment (and borne by
the Shareholders if there is no Earnout Payment), unless it is determined that (A) the Earnout
Certificate understated the Earnout Payment by at least One Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars
($140,000) or (B) Parent acted in bad faith with respect to such understatement, in either which
case such fees and disbursements will be borne exclusively by Parent.



          (h) Acceleration Events.




               (i) If a Change of Control with respect to the Business occurs at any time prior to the
expiration of the Second Earnout Period, then Parent shall pay the maximum Earnout Payments for any
Earnout Period not yet completed on the date of such Change of Control, even if Parent would not
otherwise be required to make such Earnout Payments based on the EBITDA, Revenues and strategic
objectives actually achieved during such period(s). Parent shall pay such amount no later than ten
(10) Business Days after such Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of
Control” shall mean (a) any acquisition of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any Affiliate
of the Parent in control of the Business (a “Successor Entity”) by means of merger or other
form of corporate reorganization in which the outstanding securities of the Surviving Corporation,
Parent or such Successor Entity are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or
caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or its Affiliate (other than a mere reincorporation
transaction), unless Parent continues to hold, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting
power of the surviving or acquiring entity after the transaction; (b) a sale or transfer of a
majority or more of the outstanding securities of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or a Successor
Entity, in one or more transactions, to any Person; (c) a sale or transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets constituting the Business to any Person other than Affiliate of Parent; or (d) a
spin-out of the Surviving Corporation or a Successor Entity to the stockholders of Parent.



               (ii) If the employment of Fred Beck or Tim Rhoads is terminated by the Surviving Corporation
without “cause” (as defined in Section 7(c) of their respective employment agreements) or Fred Beck
or Tim Rhoads terminates his employment with “Good Reason” (as defined in Section 7(e) of their
respective employment agreements) at any time prior to the expiration of the Second Earnout Period,
then Parent shall pay one-third of the maximum Earnout Payments eligible to be earned for any
Earnout Period not yet completed on the date of such termination of employment, even if Parent
would not otherwise be required to make such Earnout Payments based on the EBITDA, Revenues and
strategic objectives actually achieved during such period(s). Parent shall pay such amount no
later than ten (10) Business Days after



-8-









 




such termination of employment. All payments pursuant to this Section 1.8(h)(ii)
shall be deducted from any future Earnout Payments (during the applicable Earnout Period to which
such payment is attributable). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section
1.8(h)(ii) apply upon each termination of employment (i.e. Parent must pay two-thirds of the
maximum Earnout Payments if both Fred Beck and Tim Rhoads are terminated).




          (i) Conduct of Business.




               (i) The Shareholders understand, acknowledge and agree (as evidenced by the adoption of this
Agreement) that Parent is entitled to manage and operate the Surviving Corporation and its business
in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that prior to the
expiration of the Second Earnout Period (A) Parent shall at all times act in good faith with
respect to the Opus Business and shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action, or fail to
take any action, with the intent of reducing or eliminating Parent’s obligation to make an Earnout
Payment hereunder, (B) Parent will not acquire or develop a competing inpatient clinical solution
unless it will be deemed by Parent to be an Opus Product, (C) so long as Fred E. Beck and Tim
Rhoads remain employed by the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate thereof, they will continue to
exercise overall management authority for the Opus Business, subject only to the supervision and
direction of Pat Cline, Scott Decker, Phil Kaplan, Steve Puckett or another executive designated by
Parent, (D) Purchaser shall not take any action intended solely to decrease EBITDA or Revenues of
the Opus Business, (E) Parent shall cause to be devoted to the Opus Business development resources
and personnel that are at least substantially the same as those devoted to the Opus Business
immediately prior to the Closing (unless the Opus Business’ sales decline to an extent that such
resources and personnel are not warranted, as determined in Parent’s sole and absolute discretion),
and (F) Parent shall cause to be devoted to the Opus Business sales resources and personnel that
are at least substantially the same as those devoted to the Opus Business immediately prior to the
Closing.



               (ii) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent
and the Shareholder Representative, during the Earnout Periods, Parent will not cause to be
operated through the Surviving Corporation any business other than the Business and such other
activities, if any, conducted by the Surviving Corporation as of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that, Parent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, merge or
otherwise combine the operations of the Surviving Corporation with NextGen Sphere, LLC, a
California limited liability company; provided, further, that if such operations
are combined, the operations of NextGen Sphere, LLC (including the Surviving Corporation’s cost of
integrating such operations with those of the Surviving Corporation but excluding the Surviving
Corporation’s cost to integrate with the Sphere software) will not be included in calculating
EBITDA and Revenues; provided, further, that Parent may in its sole and absolute
discretion include the operations of Sphere (both costs and revenues) only to the extent such
operations have a net positive effect on EBITDA. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
current Sphere product is a credible HIS solution, and Parent shall act in good faith with the
resources necessary to cause such product to continue to be credible in order to satisfy market
demand, investing as needed in implementation, support, development, quality assurance, management
and release management resources to keep pace with the market demand.

               (iii) Parent will maintain or cause to be maintained separate or otherwise identifiable (e.g.,
in the case of a shared general ledger) books and records for the Surviving Corporation at all
times during the Earnout Periods in a manner reasonably necessary for the determination of EBITDA
and Revenues.



               (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders understand, acknowledge and agree (as
evidenced by the adoption of this Agreement) that Parent intends to integrate certain operations of
the Company with the operations of NextGen and that NextGen may seek to realize certain financial
synergies by eliminating redundant positions, functions and/or resources after consummation of the
Merger.



     1.9 Escrow.



          (a) Escrow Fund to Secure Obligations. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with
the Escrow Agent a number of Parent Shares equal in value to $2,500,000 (valuing such Parent
Shares, for purposes of this Section 1.9(a), using the Share Valuation Method) (the
“Initial Escrowed Shares”). On the date of each payment of an Earnout Payment prior to the
Escrow Termination Date, a number of Parent Shares to be issued to the Shareholders equal in value
to twenty percent (20%) of the amount of such Earnout Payment (valuing such Parent Shares, for
purposes of this Section 1.9(a), using the Share Valuation Method) shall be deposited with
the Escrow Agent (collectively with the Initial Escrowed Shares, the “Escrowed Shares”).
The Escrowed Shares shall represent a source of value to secure the Shareholders’ obligations
hereunder to the extent the Escrowed Shares have not been surrendered by operation of Article
VII, Article VIII or in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrowed Shares
shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The
Escrowed Shares shall be held until the Escrow Termination Date as a trust fund and shall not be
subject to any lien, attachment trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of
any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms
of the Escrow Agreement.




          (b) Release of Escrow Fund. The remaining balance of the Escrowed Shares will be
released upon the second anniversary of the Closing (the “Escrow Termination Date”);
provided, however, that if any indemnity claims by Parent pursuant to Article

or Company Intellectual Property or requires the

without charge to third parties, except for publishing minor modifications to the Public Software
itself that do not contain Company Intellectual Property.




          (k) The Data Rights and information used by the Company in providing Customer Deliverables, in

Plans and related plan documents including (without limitation) plan documents, trust documents,
group annuity contracts, plan amendments, insurance policies or contracts, participant agreements,

years, standard COBRA forms and related notices, registration statements and prospectuses, and, to
the extent still in its possession, any material employee communications relating thereto, have
been made available in the electronic data room or delivered to Parent. With respect to each
Company Plan which is subject to ERISA reporting requirements, the Company has made available in
the electronic data room or delivered copies of the Form 5500 reports and any applicable financial
statements, including schedules and






-26-









 







reports filed for the last three years. The Company has made available in the electronic data
room or delivered to Parent the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination or opinion
letter issued, if any, with respect to each such Company Plan which is intended to be a qualified
plan as described in Code Section 401(a), and nothing has occurred since the issuance of each such
letter which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of tax-qualified status of any such
Company Plan.




          (b) Each Company Plan has been administered substantially in accordance with its terms and in
compliance with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, rules and regulations
(including ERISA and the Code), except as would not have, in the aggregate, a Company Material
Adverse Effect. The Company and the ERISA Affiliates have performed all material obligations
required to be performed by them under, and are not in material default or violation by any other
party to, any Company Plan. All contributions required to be made by the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate to any Company Plan have been made or accrued on the Most Recent Balance Sheet. All
governmental filings and reports as to each Company Plan subject to ERISA have been prepared in
good faith and timely filed and were true and correct as of the date filed. The Company has
distributed or posted all notices and reports to employees or participants in the Company Plans
required to be distributed or posted. There has been no “prohibited transaction,” as such term is
defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, with respect to any Company Plan for
which there is not a statutory exemption. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is subject
to any liability or penalty under Sections 4976 through 4980 of the Code or Title I of ERISA with
respect to any prohibited transaction with any Company Plan. With respect to each Company Plan no
“reportable event” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA (excluding any such event for which
the thirty (30) day notice requirement has been waived under the regulations to Section 4043 of
ERISA) nor any event described in Section 4062, 4063 or 4041 of ERISA has occurred. No Company
Plan has assets that include securities issued by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate and no Company
Plan constitutes a security which is required to be registered under applicable state or federal
securities laws. There has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement by the
Company or any ERISA Affiliate of any increase in the benefits provided under any Company Plan
above the level of benefits which resulted in the expense incurred with respect to that Plan for
the most recent fiscal year included in the Company’s financial statements.




          (c) No suit, investigation, audit, administrative proceeding, action, or other litigation
(except claims for benefits payable in the normal operation of the Company Plans and proceedings
with respect to qualified domestic relations orders) has been brought, or to the Knowledge of the
Company is threatened, against or with respect to any Company Plan or asserting any rights or
claims to benefits under any Company Plan, including audit or inquiry by the IRS or United States
Department of Labor.




          (d) With respect to each Company Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code, the Company has either obtained or is entitled to rely on a determination and/or
notification letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such Company Plan is
qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code; that such determination and/or notification
letter covers all amendments to the Code which are currently effective, and the plans and the
trusts related thereto are exempt from federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a),
respectively, of the Code or, if not, the Company still has time




-27-









 







remaining to apply under applicable Treasury Regulations or Internal Revenue Service
pronouncements to either make any amendments in such Company Plan as may be necessary to result in
such Company Plan being qualified under all such amendments and, if desired, to apply to the
Internal Revenue Service for a favorable determination letter on such qualification; and no act or
omission has occurred that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualification of
such Company Plan or materially increase the Company’s expense associated with such Company Plan.
Each Company Plan that is required to satisfy Section 401(k)(3) or Section 401(m)(2) of the Code
has been tested for compliance with, and satisfies the requirements of Section 401(k)(3) and
Section 401(m)(2) of the Code for each plan year ending prior to the Closing Date, or is a “safe
harbor” plan that avoids the need for any such testing.




          (e) The Company has not nor has any ERISA Affiliate ever maintained, established, sponsored,
participated in, contributed to, or is obligated to contribute to, or otherwise incurred any
obligation or liability (including, without limitation, any contingent liability) under any
“multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA or to any “employee pension benefit plan”
(as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) that is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of
ERISA. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any actual or potential withdrawal liability
(including, without limitation, any contingent liability) from any complete or partial withdrawal
(as defined in Sections 4203 and 4205 of ERISA) from any multiemployer plan.




          (f) With respect to each Company Plan, the Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates have
substantially complied with (i) the applicable healthcare continuation and notice provisions of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) and the regulations
thereunder and any similar state law governing the extension or continuation of health care
coverage following the termination of employment of the employees of the Company; (ii) the
applicable requirements of the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 and the regulations thereunder;
(iii) the applicable requirements of HIPAA; (iv) the applicable requirements of the Cancer Rights
Act of 1998; and (v) and the applicable requirements of the Newborn and Mother’s Health Protection
Act of 1996. The Company is in material compliance with its obligations to any current and/or
former employees and/or qualified beneficiaries pursuant to COBRA, HIPAA, or any state law
governing the extension or continuation of health care coverage following the termination of
employment of the employees of the Company.




          (g) There are no unfunded obligations under any Company Plan providing benefits after
termination of employment to any employee of the Company (or to any beneficiary of any such
employee), including but not limited to retiree health coverage or other retiree welfare benefits
and deferred compensation, but excluding continuation of health coverage required to be continued
under Section 4980B of the Code or other applicable law and insurance conversion privileges under
state law in addition to any such obligations which are reflected on the Company’s financial
statements. The assets of each Company Plan that is funded are reported at their fair market value
on the books and records of such Company Plan.




          (h) No act or omission has occurred and no condition exists with respect to any Company Plan
that would reasonably be expected to subject the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to (i) any material
fine, penalty, tax or liability of any kind imposed under ERISA or the




-28-









 







Code or (ii) any contractual indemnification or contribution obligation protecting any
fiduciary, insurer or service provider with respect to any Company Plan.




          (i) No Company Plan is funded by, associated with or related to a “voluntary employee’s
beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.




          (j) Each Company Plan may be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued unilaterally by the
Company at any time without liability or expense to the, Company (or after the Closing Date,
Parent) or such Company Plan as a result thereof (other than for benefits accrued through the date
of termination or amendment and reasonable administrative expenses related thereto) and no Company
Plan, plan document or agreement, summary plan description or other written communication
distributed generally to employees by its terms prohibits the Company from amending, terminating or
otherwise discontinuing any such Company Plan.




          (k) Section 2.21(k) of the Disclosure Schedule discloses each: (i) agreement with any
shareholder, director, executive officer or other key employee of the Company (A) the benefits of
which are contingent, or the terms of which are altered, upon the occurrence of a transaction
involving the Company of the nature of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B)
providing any term of employment or compensation guarantee or (C) providing severance benefits or
other benefits after the termination of employment of such director, executive officer or key
employee; (ii) agreement, plan or arrangement under which any person may receive payments from the
Company that may be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or included in the
determination of such person’s “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code (without regard
to Sections 280G(b)(4) and 280G(b)(5) thereof); and (iii) agreement or plan binding the Company,
including any stock option plan, stock appreciation right plan, restricted stock plan, stock
purchase plan, severance benefit plan or Company Plan, any of the benefits of which will be
increased, or the vesting of the benefits of which will be accelerated, by the occurrence of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the value of any of the benefits of which will
be calculated on the basis of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any Company
Plan which is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan as defined in Code Section 409A is either
exempt from Code Section 409A or is in material compliance with Code Section 409A.




          (l) Section 2.21(l) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the policy of the Company
with respect to accrued vacation, accrued sick time and earned time off and the amount of such
liabilities as of the date of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, no employees will have accrued
vacation in excess of 240 hours.




          (m) The Company has classified all individuals who perform services for the Company correctly
under the Company Plans, ERISA and the Code as common law employees, independent contractors,
leased employees, and exempt or non-exempt employees.




          (n) The Company has not engaged in any transaction with respect to any Company Plan that is
the same as or substantially similar to any transaction that the Internal Revenue Service has
determined to be a tax avoidance transaction and has identified as a listed transaction in
published guidance under 26 CFR Section 1.6011-4(b)(2).

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN COVENANTS




     5.1 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties
shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal, investment banking and accounting fees and
expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Parent shall pay on behalf of the Company and the Shareholders at Closing Company Transaction
Expenses in those amounts and to those persons directed by the Shareholder Representative;
provided, however, that the total amount so paid by Parent on behalf of the Company
and the Shareholders shall be deducted from the Closing Amount in determining the Net Closing
Amount payable to the Shareholders at Closing; provided, further, that the total
amount so paid by Parent shall not exceed $250,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders
shall have sole liability for any Company Transaction Expenses not paid at or before Closing, and
the Surviving Corporation shall not have any liability for Company Transaction Expenses.



     5.2 Proprietary Information. From and after the Closing, no Shareholder shall
disclose or make use of, and each Shareholder shall cause all of his Affiliates not to disclose or
make use of, any knowledge, information or documents of a confidential nature or not generally
known to the public with respect to the Company or Parent and their respective businesses
(including the financial information, technical information or data relating to the Company’s
services and names of customers of the Company), except to the extent that (i) such knowledge,
information or documents shall have become public knowledge other than through improper disclosure
by any Shareholder or an Affiliate, (ii) such Shareholder is required to disclose such information
by law or legal process or (iii) it is necessary and appropriate for such Shareholder to disclose
and/or make use of such information in his capacity as an employee of the Surviving Corporation
after Closing.



     5.3 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the information obtained
in any investigation pursuant to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the



-36-









 




effectuation of the transaction contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the terms of that
certain confidentiality letter agreement, as amended, by and between the Company and NextGen
Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“NextGen”),
dated August ___, 2009; provided, however, that Parent and NextGen may make such
disclosures as may be required under applicable law.




     5.4 Transition. Unless otherwise directed or consented to by Parent in writing, the
Shareholders will not take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of
discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of the Company
from maintaining the same business relationships with the Company after the Closing as it
maintained with the Company prior to the Closing.



     5.5 Solicitation of Employees. Each of the Shareholders covenants and agrees that
beginning on the Closing Date and continuing for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter,
neither such Shareholder nor any Affiliates of such Shareholder will anywhere in the world where
the Business was conducted or proposed to be conducted prior to Closing (the “Non-Solicitation
Area”) (i) solicit or hire any of the employees of the Surviving Corporation who are employed
by the Surviving Corporation or were employed by the Company within the twelve (12) month period
prior to the Closing, or (ii) interfere with the relationship of the Surviving Corporation with any
such employees. The Shareholders agree that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.5
are reasonable as to time and geographic scope because of the nature of the business of the Company
and the Shareholders agree, in particular, that the geographic scope of this restriction is
reasonable because companies engaged in the business of the Surviving Corporation compete
throughout the Non-Solicitation Area. The Shareholders acknowledge that the Surviving Corporation
is in direct competition with all other companies engaged in the business of the Surviving
Corporation throughout the Non-Solicitation Area, and because of the nature of such business, the
Shareholders agree that the covenants contained in this Section 5.5 cannot reasonably be
limited to any smaller geographic area.



     5.6 Issuance of Parent Shares. Parent shall use its best efforts to ensure that the
stock certificates representing the Parent Shares portion of the Closing Amount be issued to the
Shareholders entitled thereto within three (3) Business Days after the Closing pursuant to the
issuance order referenced in Section 1.3(b)(ii).



     5.7 Rule 144; Listing of Parent Shares. Parent shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts
to ensure that the Shareholders may sell the Parent Shares issued as part of the Aggregate
Transaction Consideration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall respond in a timely manner, and
will cause its officers, legal counsel, transfer agent and other representatives to respond in a
timely manner, to requests by the Shareholders or their brokers to sell Parent Shares under Rule
144 following the Closing Date, including requests to have the restrictive legends removed from the
stock certificates representing the Parent Shares. Parent will ensure that all Parent Shares
issued as part of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration will, prior to issuance, be authorized
for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market to the extent that Parent otherwise qualifies.



-37-









 





     5.8 Credit for Employment. Parent hereby agrees that Parent shall grant or cause the
Surviving Corporation to grant all employees of the Company credit for any service with the
Company earned prior to the Closing Date for: (i) purposes of vacation accrual under any
employee vacation plan or policy established or maintained by Parent, Surviving Corporation or any
of their Affiliates on or after the Closing Date, (ii) eligibility and vesting under Parent’s,
Surviving Corporation’s or any of their Affiliate’s 401(k) plan existing as of the Closing Date,
and (iii) fulfillment of any eligibility waiting periods requirements under any of Parent’s,
Surviving Corporation’s or any of their Affiliate’s health insurance plan existing as of the
Closing Date.



     5.9 Revision of Revenue Recognition Policies. Parent and the Shareholder
Representative shall use their respective best efforts and negotiate in good faith to agree upon
reasonable revenue recognition accounting policies to replace items 4 and 5 in the “Revenue
Recognition” section of Exhibit D no later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing
Date; provided; however, that if Parent and the Shareholder Representative are
unable to agree upon such replacement policies, items 4 and 5 in the “Revenue Recognition” section
of Exhibit D shall apply.

NextGen’s, Merger Sub’s, Parent’s, the Company’s or their Affiliate’s outside legal counsel and
professional advisors or (ii) amounts paid to a third-party as part of a judgment, settlement or

Parent, the Company or their Affiliates. To the extent any director or employee of NextGen, Merger

thereof resulting from, relating to or constituting the matters set forth in the subsections of
this Section 7.2. In addition to the foregoing, and not by way of limitation, Merger Sub’s

conducted by Merger Sub, Parent or any of their Affiliates.



          (a) Any failure by such Shareholder to perform any covenant or agreement of such Shareholder
contained in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.



          (b) Any claim by such Shareholder seeking to assert, or based upon any of the following with

Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Parent Certificate; or



          (b) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Merger Sub or Parent contained in this
Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.



     7.4 Indemnification Claims.



          (a) Notice of Third Party Actions. An Indemnified Party shall give written
notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such
notification shall be given within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of
notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by
the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount
of the claimed Damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of
the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party
of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by
or arising out of such failure.



-42-









 





          (b) Indemnification by the Shareholders of Third Party Actions. The obligations and
liabilities of the Shareholders with respect to a Third Party Action for which Merger Sub or Parent
is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII will be subject to the
following terms and conditions. Merger Sub or Parent will have the right (including the selection
of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Shareholder Representative) to defend against, direct the
defense of, or settle any such Third Party Action and any related Legal Proceeding, but the
Shareholders must reasonably cooperate in the defense thereof. In connection therewith, each of
Merger Sub and Parent agrees (i) to keep the Shareholder Representative reasonably informed of its
defense and resolution of the Third Party Action, (ii) to report to the Shareholder Representative
in writing, at least quarterly, as to the amount of Damages (including attorneys’ fees and
expenses) incurred as of the date of such report, and (iii) that it will make reasonable judgments
with respect to incurring costs and expenses (including the selection of outside counsel) in a
similar manner and based on similar factors as it does for similar third party claims for which it
has no claim against the Shareholders for indemnification. No compromise, discharge or settlement
of, or admission of liability in connection with, such claims may be effected by Merger Sub or
Parent without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless Parent has waived any right to indemnification therefor
by the Shareholders. So long as Merger Sub or Parent is conducting the defense of the Third Party
Action, the Shareholder Representative may retain separate co-counsel at the Shareholders’ sole
cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Action.



          (c) Indemnification by Parent and Merger Sub of Third Party Actions. The obligations
and liabilities of Merger Sub and Parent hereunder with respect to a Third Party Action for which
the Shareholders are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII will be
subject to the following terms and conditions.



               (i) Merger Sub or Parent will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend against and to
direct the defense of any such Third Party Action and any related Legal Proceeding at Merger Sub’s
or Parent’s sole cost and expense and with counsel of Merger Sub’s or Parent’s choosing (subject to
the approval of the Shareholder Representative, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
and the Shareholder Representative will reasonably cooperate in the defense thereof;
provided, however, that the assumption by Parent or Merger Sub of the defense of
any such Third Party Action shall constitute an acknowledgement, without reservation, of Parent’s
and Merger Sub’s obligation to indemnify and defend the Shareholders with respect to such Third
Party Action. The Shareholder Representative may participate in such defense with counsel of their
own choosing, provided that Merger Sub or Parent will not, following written notice of its election
to defend against and direct the defense of any such Third Party Action and so long as Parent or
Merger Sub is defending against such Third Party Action in good faith, be liable to the
Shareholders under this Article VII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses
with respect to the defense of such Legal Proceeding incurred by the Shareholders in connection
with the defense of such Legal Proceeding unless Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates are
also a party to such Third Party Action and the Shareholder Representative determines in good faith
that Shareholders have available to them one or more defenses or counterclaims that are
inconsistent with those of Merger Sub or Parent. If Merger Sub or Parent assumes the defense of a
Third Party Action, no compromise, discharge or settlement of, or admission of liability in
connection with, such claims may be effected by



-43-









 




Merger Sub or Parent without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (x) there is no finding or admission
of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other
claims that may be made against the Shareholders, and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary
damages that are paid in full by Merger Sub or Parent. If Parent or Merger Sub has assumed the
defense of a Third Party Claim and is defending it in good faith, neither Merger Sub nor Parent
will have any liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected
without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).




               (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3(c)(i), if Merger Sub and Parent
fail or refuse to undertake the defense of such Third Party Action within fourteen (14) days after
delivery of written notification to Parent of the commencement of such Third Party Action or if
Merger Sub or Parent later withdraws from such defense, the Shareholder Representative will have
the right to undertake the defense of such claim with counsel of its own choosing, with Parent and
Merger Sub responsible for the costs and expenses of such defense and bound by any determination
made in such Third Party Action or any compromise or settlement effected by the Shareholders.



          (d) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VII, an Indemnified Party
shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party is Parent and is
seeking to enforce such claim pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall
deliver a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent.



          (e) Within twenty (20) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall
deliver to the Indemnified Party a Response, in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that
the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response
shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed
Amount, by check or by wire transfer, provided that if the Indemnified Party is Parent, Merger Sub
or any of their Affiliates, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the
Escrow Agent, within three (3) days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice
executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent for cancellation a
number of Escrowed Shares equal in value to the Claimed Amount (valuing the Escrowed Shares for
such purpose in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement) or, if less, the number of Escrowed
Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund); (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive
the Agreed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying
Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer, provided that if
the Indemnified Party is Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates, the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) days following the
delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to
release to Parent for cancellation a number of Escrowed Shares equal in value to the Agreed Amount
(valuing the Escrowed Shares for such purpose in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement) or,
if less, the number of Escrowed Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund); or (iii) dispute that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.



          (f) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts



-44-









 




to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 30-day period, such
Dispute shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Indemnified Party is
Parent, Merger Sub or any of the Affiliates, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Escrow
Agent, promptly following resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, judicial decision
or otherwise), a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what
(if any) portion of the Escrowed Shares shall be released to Parent and/or the Shareholders (which
notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute).




     7.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
that are covered by the indemnification agreements in Section 7.1(a) and Section
7.3(a) shall (a) survive the Closing and (b) shall expire on the date which is twenty-four (24)
months following the Closing Date except for those representations and warranties concerning
Capitalization (Section 2.2), Taxes (Section 2.9), Employee Benefits (Section
2.21) and Environmental (Section 2.22), the Shareholder Fundamental Representations,
Organization and Corporate Power (Section 4.1), Valid Issuance of Shares (Section
4.6), Tax-Free Reorganization (Section 4.9), and SEC and Exchange Compliance
(Section 4.10), which shall be for their respective statutes of limitations. If an
Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or
warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or an
Expected Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, then the applicable
representation or warranty shall survive until, but only to the extent of, and for purposes of the
resolution of, the specific matter covered by such notice. If the Legal Proceeding or written
claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or
resolved, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party and if the
Indemnified Party has delivered a copy of the Expected Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent with
respect to such Expected Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both parties instructing the
Escrow Agent to release such retained Escrowed Shares in accordance with the resolution of such
matter pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.



     7.6 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any payments made to an Indemnified Party
pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Transaction
Consideration for Tax purposes.



     7.7 Limitations.



          (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnification rights set forth in
this Article VII and Article VIII shall be Parent’s, Merger Sub’s and their
respective Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy against the Shareholders for any claim, demand,
cause of action or Damages arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or
impair any right that any Party may have to sue and obtain equitable relief, including specific
performance and other injunctive relief, for the breach of Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 or
any right or remedy that any Party may have on account of fraud.



          (b) Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates cannot make any claim for indemnity
under this Article VII unless the aggregate of all claims for Damages exceeds one



-45-









 




hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), at which time claims may be made only for the amount of
such Damages in excess of $100,000; provided, however, that such limitation shall
not apply to the Shareholder Fundamental Representations or the Fundamental Representations.




          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent that any indemnifiable Damages
are satisfied pursuant to Section 1.6, Article VII or Article VIII, the
amount of such satisfied Damages shall not be deducted from the EBITDA of the Surviving Corporation
for purposes of determining the Earnout Payments.



          (d) In determining the amount of any indemnification obligations under this Article
VII, the amount of any obligation for which indemnification may be claimed by any Indemnified
Party shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party (or by any
Affiliate of the Indemnified Party) with respect to the matter that is the subject of the
indemnified claim. Each Indemnified Party (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees to make
good faith, commercially reasonably efforts to obtain all such insurance proceeds available to it;
provided, however, that no claim for indemnification shall be conditioned upon the
final resolution of such insurance claim — the proceeds of such claim to be paid back to the
Indemnifying Party if collected after the payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified
Party concerning such claim.



          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no claim for
indemnity under this Agreement may be made to the extent such claim relates to amounts that are
accrued for as current liabilities on the Final Balance Sheet as determined by the parties pursuant
to Section 1.6.



          (f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the aggregate, maximum liability of
the Shareholders for all Damages based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
(excluding those based on the Fundamental Representations, the Shareholder Fundamental
Representations or fraud) shall be forty percent (40%) of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration
received by the Shareholders and (ii) the aggregate, maximum liability of any one Shareholder for
all Damages based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding fraud) shall
be limited to the actual Aggregate Transaction Consideration received by such Shareholder.



          (g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective
Affiliates shall not be entitled to recover any funds or property from any Shareholder in respect
of the Shareholders’ obligations under this Article VII or Article VIII, unless and
until all of the Escrowed Shares have been forfeited to Parent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement.



     7.8 Right of Setoff. Upon notice to Shareholder Representative specifying in
reasonable detail the basis therefor, if all of the Escrowed Shares have been disbursed to Parent
pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent may set off any amount to which it determines
in good faith it is entitled under this Article VII or Article VIII against any
amounts owed to the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement (including the Earnout Payments, if and
when due). The exercise of such right of setoff by Parent in good faith, whether or not ultimately
determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Neither the exercise
of



-46-









 




nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or
limit Parent in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.




ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS




     8.1 Tax Indemnification. Shareholders, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and
hold harmless Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, and any successors thereto or Affiliates thereof
in respect of and against Damages resulting from, relating to, or constituting (x) a breach of any
representation contained in Section 2.9, (y) the failure to perform any covenant or
agreement set forth in this Article VIII, and (z) without duplication, the following Taxes
(except to the extent they are accrued for on the Final Balance Sheet):



          (a) Any Taxes for any Taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date due and payable by
the Company;



          (b) Any Taxes for any Taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date for which the
Company has any liability as a transferee or successor, or pursuant to any contractual obligation
or otherwise; and



          (c) Any transfer, sales, use, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration,
documentary, filing and other non-income Taxes and administrative fees (including, without
limitation, notary fees) arising in connection with the consummation of the series of transactions
contemplated by this Agreement whether levied on Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of the
Shareholders.



     8.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.



          (a) Parent shall prepare and timely file or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all
Tax Returns for the Company that are required to be filed (taking into account extensions) after
the Closing Date; provided, that Parent shall provide any such Tax Return that applies to a
Taxable period that began prior to the Closing Date to the Shareholder Representative for his
review and comment prior to filing. Parent shall make or cause to be made all payments required
with respect to any such Tax Returns.



          (b) Any Tax Return to be prepared and filed for Taxable periods beginning before the Closing
Date shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous similar Tax Return to the

audit, initiates an examination of the Company, or otherwise asserts a claim, makes an assessment,
or disputes the amount of Taxes for which the Shareholders are or may be liable under this
Agreement, Parent shall promptly inform the Shareholder Representative. The failure of Parent to
notify the Shareholder Representative promptly shall not relieve the Shareholders of



-47-









 




any obligations under this Agreement except to the extent such failure materially prejudices
the Shareholders. Parent shall have the exclusive right to control any resulting proceedings. The
Shareholder Representative shall have the right to participate at the Shareholders’ expense, in
such proceeding, or portion thereof, only to the extent such proceeding, or portion thereof, or
determination, or portion thereof, affects the amount of Taxes for which the Shareholders are
liable under this Agreement, and Parent may settle any such proceeding or determination, or portion
thereof, to the extent such proceeding or determination affects the amount of Taxes for which the
Shareholders are liable under this Agreement only with the prior written consent of the Shareholder
Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.




     8.4 Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing, Tax indemnity or Tax
distribution agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving the Company shall be
terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Parent, the Surviving Corporation
their Affiliates shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in
respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date.

Party of its obligations under this Article VIII shall be pursued in accordance with the
procedures for indemnification claims set forth in this Article VIII, and shall not
otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article VII. To the extent
there is any inconsistency between the terms of Article VII and this Article VIII
with respect to the allocation of responsibility between the Company, the Shareholders and Parent
for Taxes relating to the business of the Company, the provisions of this Article VIII
shall govern.



          (b) Claim Procedure. For purposes of clarification, (i) claims for a breach of an
obligation under this Article VIII may be made by a Party at any time prior to the
thirtieth (30th) day after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to

Article VIII, Parent shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Shareholder Representative and the
Escrow Agent in the form prescribed by the Escrow Agreement, (iii) upon delivery of any Claim
Notice hereunder, the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only to the
extent of, and for purposes of the resolution of, the specific matter covered by such notice, and
(iv) within twenty (20) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Shareholder Representative shall
deliver to Parent a Response in which the Shareholder Representative shall: (1) agree that Parent
is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Shareholder Representative and
Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days following the delivery of the Response,
a written notice executed by the Shareholder Representative and Parent instructing the Escrow Agent
to release to Parent for cancellation a number of Escrowed Shares equal in value to the Claimed
Amount (valuing the Escrowed Shares for such purpose in the manner set forth in the Escrow
Agreement) or, if less, the number of Escrowed Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund; (2) agree that
Parent is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case the Shareholder Representative and
Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) days following the delivery of the
Response, a written notice executed by the Shareholder Representative and Parent instructing the

the Agreed Amount (valuing the Escrowed Shares for such purpose in the manner set forth in the



-48-









 




Escrow Agreement) or, if less, the number of Escrowed Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund; or
(3) dispute that Parent is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.




     8.6 Dispute Resolution. During the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of a
Response that reflects a Dispute, Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall attempt in good
faith to resolve the Dispute. If, at the end of the thirty (30) day period, Parent and the
Shareholder Representative have not resolved such Dispute, Parent and the Shareholder
Representative shall refer the Dispute for determination to the Accountants who shall act as
experts, not as arbitrators, and the parties will be reasonably available and work diligently to
facilitate the Accountants to render a determination within a twenty (20) day period immediately
following the referral to them. A determination by the Accountants with respect to any item of
Dispute submitted to them will be binding on Parent and the Shareholders. The fees and expenses of
the Accountants shall be borne equally by the Shareholders on the one hand and Parent on the other
hand.

Company with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties,

otherwise payable to the undersigned at the Effective Time will be held back by Parent as the
Escrow Shares to provide for indemnification costs, as described in the Merger Agreement, pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The undersigned understands that the Escrow
Shares and, consequently, the Aggregate Transaction Consideration may be reduced or eliminated for
indemnification costs in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The distribution of
the undersigned’s interest in the Escrow Shares, including the interest thereon, is subject to the
terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the undersigned acknowledges and agrees to be
bound by the terms and conditions of such agreement.



     4. The undersigned understands that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, portions of the
Aggregate Transaction Consideration comprising the Earnout Payments that may otherwise become
payable to the undersigned may be reduced or eliminated, including by being paid for
indemnification costs.



     5. The undersigned, by executing below, hereby agrees that Fred E. Beck shall be the
“Shareholder Representative” who shall act as the agent for the undersigned, as described
in the Merger Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:



 









 






     (a) Any notice, direction or communication received by Parent from the Shareholder
Representative, or delivered to the Shareholder Representative by Parent, shall be binding
upon the undersigned;




     (b) The Shareholder Representative is authorized to execute on behalf of the
undersigned any and all documents and agreements referred to in the Merger Agreement on
behalf of the undersigned upon the Closing and following the Effective Time. Any notice,
communication, direction or document referred to in the Merger Agreement which is received
by Parent and signed by the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the undersigned shall be
deemed signed by the undersigned;




     (c) The Shareholders (including the undersigned) shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred by the Shareholder Representative in carrying out the obligations of the
Shareholder Representative under the Merger Agreement, and shall defend (at the Shareholder
Representative’s option), indemnify and hold the Shareholder Representative harmless from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses), costs or losses, of any nature, arising from, in connection with or otherwise
related to the Shareholder Representative’s performance of his duties as Shareholder
Representative; and




     (d) The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Merger Agreement provides that,
should the Shareholder Representative resign or be unable to serve, the Shareholders having
received a majority of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration shall appoint a single
substitute agent to take on the responsibilities of the Shareholder Representative.

cancellation the Certificate(s) delivered herewith and that the rights represented by the
Certificate(s) are free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and are not
subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned will, upon request, execute any additional documents
necessary or desirable to complete the surrender of the Certificate(s) surrendered herewith. All
authority conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and all obligations
of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors
and assigns of the undersigned.

CONFIDENTIAL INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE



Confidential Investor Questionnaire 



     The information contained in this Confidential Investor Questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) is
being furnished to representatives of Quality Systems, Inc., a California corporation (the
“Company”) to enable it to determine whether the acquisition by the undersigned of certain shares
(“Shares”) of the Company in connection with the proposed merger between an affiliate of the
Company and Opus Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Opus”), may be made to the
undersigned, a shareholder of Opus, pursuant to (i) Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”), (ii) any other exemption from the registration provisions of the Act, and
(iii) exemptions from applicable registration provisions of state securities laws, since the Shares
will not be registered under the Act or such laws. The undersigned understands that the Company
will rely upon the information contained herein for purposes of such determination.



     The undersigned represents to the Company that (i) as of the date hereof the information
contained herein is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company and its counsel and
(ii) the undersigned will notify the Company immediately of any material change in any of such
information occurring prior to the acquisition of any Shares by the undersigned.



     The undersigned further represents to the Company that: (a) the undersigned understands that
the Shares have not been registered under the Act or applicable state securities laws and are being
offered in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act and such
state securities laws; (b) the undersigned is acquiring the Shares for the undersigned’s own
account and not for the account of any other person, and such acquisition will not be made with the
view to the further resale or distribution thereof; and (c) the undersigned understands that the
completion of this Questionnaire does not constitute an offer of any Shares to the undersigned.



     The undersigned understands that if the undersigned is not capable of understanding the
financial risks and merits of an investment in the Shares an Investor Representative (as defined in
Regulation D, promulgated under the Act) acceptable to the Company shall be appointed.



     All information contained herein is for use by the Company and its counsel and will at all
times be kept strictly confidential; however, the undersigned agrees that the Company may present
this Questionnaire to such parties as it may be deem appropriate if called upon to establish the
availability of the exemptions under the Act and applicable state securities laws.

EXAMPLES OF LIMITATIONS ON PARENT SHARE VALUATION


The following assumptions and examples are offered solely for purposes of illustrating the
operation of the limitations set forth in the proviso in the definition of Share Valuation Method
(the “Collar”).



Assumptions for purposes of example:





	 	•	 	Value of a Parent Share as of the Closing Date (using the Share Valuation Method) =
$60.00
	 
	 	•	 	Aggregate Earnout Payment due to Shareholders = $5,000,000





Example No. 1:



If, at the time EBITDA is finalized for the period with respect to which the Earnout Payment is
due, the value of a Parent Share using the Share Valuation Method (prior to the application of the
Collar) is $45.00, then the Collar would act to limit the value of a Parent Share to $51.00 (85% of
$60.00). Accordingly, the Shareholders would receive an aggregate of 98,039 Parent Shares
($5,000,000/$51.00) rather than 111,111 Parent Shares ($5,000,000/$45.00).




Example No. 2:



If, at the time EBITDA is finalized for the period with respect to which the Earnout Payment is
due, the value of a Parent Share using the Share Valuation Method (prior to the application of the
Collar) is $75.00, then the Collar would act to limit the value of a Parent Share to $69.00 (115%
of $60.00). Accordingly, the Shareholders would receive an aggregate of 72,463 Parent Shares
($5,000,000/$69.00) rather than 66,666 Parent Shares ($5,000,000/$75.00).
