V

Covenants Relating to Software Licenses.

5.1

Compliance Dates. From and after the Closing, Seller shall use its best efforts to facilitate negotiations between Purchaser and Island Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Island Insurance”), for Island Insurance to (a) enter into and deliver, by December 31, 2012, a software license and related services agreements (collectively, the “Island License”) with Purchaser, or an Affiliate of Purchaser (“Licensor”), based upon Licensor’s standard forms of agreements as may be in effect at such time, for the PipelineClaims software, and (b) promptly following the delivery of the Island License agreements, implement the PipelineClaims software, which implementation shall be completed, and PipelineClaims shall be in Production (as defined below), by December 31, 2013 (subject to Section 5.3). For purposes hereof, “Production” shall mean that the PipelineClaims software is installed and operational in the Island Insurance production environment and is being used by Island Insurance to process live customer claims.

5.2

Certain License Terms and Related Fees. The Island License shall be a perpetual license at no charge, provided that with respect to the support services (x) the related fees for professional services, including fees for implementation, shall be at such hourly rates (and subject to such other terms, including provision for taxes and annual increases) as Seller agreed to provide pursuant to and as set forth in Section 2.1 of Schedule 1 of that certain Software License and Services Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2009, by and between Seller and NBIC Services Company, Inc. (the “NBIC Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H, and (y) the related fees for maintenance services shall be at such rates as the Seller agreed to provide pursuant to and as set forth in Section 3.1 of Schedule 1 of the NBIC Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H, and based on Purchaser’s (or its


24














Affiliate’s) undiscounted list license fee for PipelineClaims as in effect from time to time.

5.3

Remedy.  Seller hereby acknowledges that the provisions in Section 5.1 regarding the entry of Island Insurance into the Island License by December 31, 2012 and have such PipelineClaims software in production by December 31, 2013 is a material provision to Purchaser because, among other things, it will provide Purchaser with a new customer and reference account and serve as an endorsement of the product itself, both to Purchaser as well as to third parties. Accordingly, Seller expressly agrees that, notwithstanding and irrespective of the extent of the efforts expended by Seller with respect to effectuating these matters pursuant to Section 5.1, if Island Insurance fails to have PipelineClaims either (A) licensed by December 31, 2012 or (B) implemented and in Production by December 31, 2013 (unless the failure to be in Production is primarily due to Purchaser’s material breach of its obligations under the governing agreements for such implementation and which breach is the proximate cause of such failure, and Island Insurance has not materially breached any of its obligations under such agreements), then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Software Escrow Amount as liquidated damages (and not a penalty), payable from such escrow account within 10 days of the first of such failure to occur. 

VI

Other Covenants and Agreements.

6.1

Further Assurances. In the event that at any time any further action is necessary or desirable following the Closing to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further documents and reimbursement of auditor fees as provided in Section 6.13) as any other Party hereto reasonably may request. In addition, in order to assist with any potential future SEC filing requirements or disclosures in future SEC filings of Cover-All Technologies Inc. in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or the financial results of Cover-All Technologies Inc., Seller shall provide such cooperation as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with such filing requirements.

6.2

Non-Assigned Contracts. In the event and to the extent that Seller is not able to obtain any third party consent required to transfer and assign in full to Purchaser any and all its rights, title and interest in and to any Assumed Contract (a “Non-Assigned Contract”), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, such non-assignment shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not constitute a transfer and assignment of such Non-Assigned Contract, and Seller shall hold such Non-Assigned Contract in trust for the benefit of Purchaser pending such time as the Non-Assigned Contract can be transferred to Purchaser; provided, however, that until such Non-Assigned Contract is assigned to Purchaser and if Seller is otherwise in material compliance with this Section 6.2 (including by providing the benefits of such Non-Assigned Contract to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 6.2), then Purchaser shall be responsible for causing the performance in all material respects of all obligations of Seller under such Non-Assigned Contract, including payment obligations to the extent Purchaser shall be notified reasonably in advance thereof. Seller, without further consideration therefor from Purchaser, shall pay, assign and remit to Purchaser immediately after receipt thereof all monies, rights and other consideration or payments received in respect of any such Non-Assigned Contract. Following the Closing, Seller shall manage such Non-Assigned Contract as reasonably directed by Purchaser. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain


25















any required third party consents and assign and transfer in full all of its right, title and interest in and to each Non-Assigned Contract as soon as practicable after the Closing. Upon the receipt of any such consent, Seller shall promptly assign and transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to such Non-Assigned Contract to Purchaser in full, without payment of further consideration by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume such Non-Assigned Contract (to the extent required under this Agreement with respect to any Assumed Liability) and receive all such right, title and interest in and to such Non-Assigned Contract.

6.3

Publicity. Seller shall obtain the prior written approval of Purchaser prior to issuing any press release or other public communication concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; it being agreed that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.4

Employees. 

(a)

Except for the employees of Seller listed on Schedule 6.4, Purchaser shall offer employment to each Key Employee and, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, each other employee of Seller on terms and conditions as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion. Such employment by Purchaser shall commence effective as of the Closing Date and shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred with no interruption or break in service. Upon the Closing Date, Seller shall pay all of its employees for all accrued wages, commissions and bonuses and accrued but unused vacation earned up to and including the Closing Date. Seller acknowledges that, except as specifically set forth in this Section 6.4, Purchaser is not assuming any of Seller’s obligations with respect to its employees. Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s rights under, if any exist and to the extent assignable, confidentiality, non-competition or other proprietary rights agreements with its employees who decline to execute an assignment of such respective agreements or decline to enter into new such agreements with Purchaser. Seller shall advise each employee who accepts employment with Purchaser that acceptance of employment with Purchaser will result in the termination of their employment with Seller. 

(b)

No provisions of this Section 6.4 shall create any rights or interest, except as among the Parties to this Agreement, and no former, present or future employees of Seller (or their dependents) will be treated as third-party beneficiaries in or under the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any Related Document shall be construed as requiring Purchaser to employ any employee of Seller for any length of time following the Closing Date or to continue or maintain any Employee Benefit Plan.

6.5

Name Change. At the Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without any further consideration therefor, all of Seller’s rights to use the names “PipelineClaims” and “BlueWave Technology”. Seller shall execute such other documents as Purchaser may require for the acquisition and use of such names. Seller agrees to file with the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs immediately after the Closing a Form T-4 Assignment of Trade name, assigning the “BlueWave Technology” trade name registration, Certificate No. 4061173, to Purchaser. The Seller agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, it will not use the names “PipelineClaims,” “BlueWave Technology”, or any confusingly similar derivatives thereof, or any corporate names, trade names, expressions, corporate symbols, logos, service marks or trademarks incorporating, or derived from or substantially resembling any such terms in


26














any form or for any purpose.

6.6

Remittance of Payments Received. If Seller receives any payment or proceeds relating to or arising out of any of the Purchased Assets which accrued on or subsequent to the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly remit such payment or proceeds to Purchaser. If Purchaser receives any payment or proceeds relating to or arising out of any of the Purchased Assets which accrued prior to the Closing Date or the Excluded Assets subsequent to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly remit such payment or proceeds to Seller.

6.7

Post-Closing Cooperation. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller will each use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with any Proceeding of the other relating to (i) the preparation of an audit of any Tax return of Seller or Purchaser for all periods prior to or including the Closing Date and (ii) any audit of Purchaser and/or any audit of Seller with respect to the sales, transfer and similar Taxes imposed by the laws of any state, or political subdivision thereof, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller further covenant and agree to promptly respond to all reasonable inquiries related to such matters and to provide, to the extent reasonably possible, substantiation of transactions and to make available and furnish appropriate documents and personnel in connection therewith. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 6.7 referred to herein shall be borne by the Party who is subject to such Proceeding.

6.8

Delivery of Records. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in satisfaction of any requirement hereunder that Seller deliver possession of Seller’s books, records and financial records at Closing, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser, its accountants and legal counsel, at any time during normal business hours, upon reasonable request, full access for inspection and copying all of Seller’s books and records related to the Business existing on the Closing Date.

6.9

Restrictive Covenants. 

(a)

During the Restrictive Period, Seller shall not directly or indirectly, in any Capacity, engage in a Competitive Business or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance or control any Competitive Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the passive ownership in the aggregate by Seller of less than one percent (1%) of the securities of any publicly traded entity shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 6.9(a). 

(b)

During the Restrictive Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, in any Capacity, (i) contact, call upon, solicit, induce or attempt to induce any Person who is or was a customer or vendor of Seller and the Business during the two (2) year period immediately preceding the commencement of the Restrictive Period (A) to cease doing business, in whole or in part, or otherwise materially and adversely alter their relationship with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (B) to do business with any other Person that has or is a Competitive Business, (ii) realize any material economic benefit from engaging in any Competitive Business, in whole or in part, with any Person who is or was a customer of Seller or Purchaser or of any of their Affiliates during the two (2) year period immediately preceding such time, or (iii) (A) solicit, induce, hire, employ or otherwise engage,


27














or attempt to hire, employ or otherwise engage, as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise, any Associate or Former Associate (provided, however, that Seller or any Affiliate of Seller may hire or employ (x) such individual only upon the express prior written consent of Purchaser, which may be withheld or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion, (y) any Former Associate whose employment was terminated by Purchaser or Cover-All Technologies, Inc., as applicable, without Cause (as such term is defined in such Former Associate’s employment letter agreement) or (z) any Former Associate whose employment is terminated for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, on or after the date that is two (2) years from the Closing Date) or (B) interfere with the relationship of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with any Associate or Former Associate. 

(c)

During the Restrictive Period, Seller shall not make or cause to be made, directly or indirectly, at any time, any disparaging or derogatory statements concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of its businesses, services, reputations or prospects, or any of its past or present officers, directors, employees, attorneys, members, managers or agents. During the Restrictive Period, Purchaser shall not make or cause to be made, directly or indirectly, at any time, any disparaging or derogatory statements concerning Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of its businesses (other than the Business), services, reputations or prospects, or any of its past or present officers, directors, employees, attorneys, members, managers or agents.

(d)

Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (i) each of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.9 is necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of Purchaser or its Affiliates and that the nature and scope of each such covenant is reasonable; (ii) any violation or breach of said covenants will result in immediate and irreparable injury to Purchaser or its Affiliates and there may be no adequate remedy at law for any violation or breach of said covenants, and Purchaser and its Affiliates will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief without the necessity of posting any bond or showing any actual damages in the event of a violation or breach or threatened violation or breach thereof by Seller, and (iii) to the extent any provisions of this Section 6.9 cannot be enforced in full, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and any unenforceable provision in whole or in part shall not impair any other provision hereunder.

6.10

Confidentiality. Seller acknowledges that, prior to the Closing Date and subsequent to the Closing Date (with respect to information of Purchaser (or its Affiliates) relating to the calculation of the Earnout Payment), Seller has had, and will continue to have, access to confidential information regarding the Business, the Purchased Assets and Purchaser which is not generally known to the public. Seller agrees that following the Closing it shall not, without the prior express written permission of Purchaser, disclose to any other Person or use in any way any confidential or proprietary information regarding the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Purchaser (or its Affiliates) which Seller or its Affiliates may have obtained at any time, whether prior to the Closing Date or otherwise. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has had, and will continue to have, access to confidential information regarding the Bluetropics Business which is not generally known to the public. Purchaser agrees that following the Closing it shall not, without the prior express written permission of Seller, disclose to any other Person or use in any way any confidential or proprietary information regarding the Bluetropics Business, or the Seller (or its Affiliates) which Purchaser or its Affiliates may have obtained at


28












any time, whether prior to the Closing Date or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not prevent Purchaser or Seller (as applicable) from disclosing confidential information to the extent that it is required to disclose by order of a court or pursuant to the published rules or regulations of a government agency or body, in each case having jurisdiction over it; provided, that to the extent legally permitted, such party (i) must notify the other as promptly as practicable in writing of the order or request for disclosure so that such other party may seek a protective order and (ii) must cooperate with such other party to obtain a protective order. In addition, the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not apply to information which becomes known to the public or generally available to the public after the date hereof by means other than the improper disclosure by either party hereto.

6.11

Maintenance of Corporate Existence and Finances. From the Closing Date and for a period of three years thereafter:

7.1

Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party from and against, and pay to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses incurred and arising out of or in connection with: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty by Seller in this Agreement or in any Related Document, it being agreed that for purposes of


29














interpreting and implementing this Article VII, the qualifying terms “material,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Change,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar effect shall be deemed deleted in each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement and any Related Document; (b) any breach by Seller of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; (c) any of the Proceedings described on Schedule 3.10; (d) any and all Taxes of Seller or of any of its Affiliates, including any Taxes relating to Hawaii tax credits for research activities (pursuant to Section 235-110.91 of the Hawaii Income Tax Law) which Seller has applied for and received and which is or may be the subject of a Proceeding; or (e) any Excluded Liability.

(b)

No Indemnitor shall be responsible to defend, indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.2(a) unless the Indemnitee shall have provided Indemnitor with the appropriate notice of the claim prior to



30









expiration of the applicable survival period, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

(c)

All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms. 

7.4

Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Related Document to the contrary, (i) Seller shall have no obligation for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breaches of any representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Related Document (other than the Excluded Representations) pursuant to Section 7.1(a) unless the aggregate Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with any such breach(es) exceed the Deductible, whereupon the indemnification obligation of Seller under Section 7.1(a) shall apply to the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible, and (ii) Purchaser shall have no obligation for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breaches of any representations or warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Related Document (other than the Excluded Representations) pursuant to Section 7.2(a) unless the aggregate Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties in connection with any such breach(es) exceed the Deductible, whereupon Purchaser’s indemnification obligation under Section 7.2(a) shall apply to the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Related Document to the contrary, the aggregate liability of Seller, on the one hand, and the aggregate liability of Purchaser, on the other hand, under Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.2(a), respectively, for all claims arising from breaches of representations or warranties (other than the Excluded Representations) under Article III or Article IV, as the case may be, shall not exceed the Cap.

(c)

Payments by an Indemnitor pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnitee in respect of any such claim, less any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks; Indemnitee agrees that if Indemnitee receives any insurance proceeds or other payment contemplated by the immediately preceding clause with respect to a Loss after payment by Indemnitor to Indemnitee in respect of such Loss, then Indemnitee shall reimburse Indemnitor to the extent of the proceeds or other payment actually received by Indemnitee less any related costs and expenses incurred therein (including all costs referenced in the immediately preceding clause).

7.5

Other Indemnification Arrangements.

(a)

Indemnitee agrees to give to the Indemnitor prompt notice of any claim with respect to which it may be entitled to indemnity hereunder (but the obligations of Indemnitor under this Article VII shall not be impaired by failure to give such notice except to the extent said failure actually prejudices the rights of Indemnitor). Indemnitor shall have the right to (and shall upon the request of Indemnitee) assume, with counsel reasonably satisfactory



31











to Indemnitee, the defense of any such claim brought by a third party. After Indemnitor’s written confirmation of the assumption of the defense of any such claim and its obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee in respect thereof (which confirmation may be subject to a reservation of its rights as to whether such claim is within the scope of the Indemnitor’s obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable), Indemnitor shall not be responsible for the legal fees and expenses of counsel independently retained by Indemnitee during the continuance of such assumption (but shall be liable for any such fees and expenses other than during the continuance of such assumption) except to the extent legal fees and expenses are necessarily incurred notwithstanding such assumption, and Indemnitor may effect any settlement, adjustment or other compromise (collectively, “Settlement”) of any such claim without the consent of Indemnitee if Indemnitor has paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, the amount of such Settlement at the time thereof and obtained a complete release respecting any such claims against Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, provided that Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied; provided further that the Indemnitee is held harmless therefor, before entering into any Settlement that involves any remedy other than payment of money by Indemnitor. Indemnitee may, at its election, employ counsel at its own expense in connection with the handling of any such claim. Indemnitee shall have the right to enter into any Settlement of any such claim provided Indemnitee shall not be entitled to any indemnification hereunder in connection with the payment of any amounts pursuant to any Settlement agreed to by it unless such Settlement is
consented to in writing by Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied; provided, however, that it shall not be unreasonable for an Indemnitor to withhold consent to the compromise or settlement of any claim that does not contain a full release of the Indemnitee from and against all Liability with respect to such claim. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any claim of a third party.

(b)

In addition to any other rights or remedies available to Purchaser under this Agreement, any Related Document, at law, equity or otherwise, Purchaser shall have the right to set off any claims Seller is obligated to pay Purchaser under Section 7.1 hereunder, against any amounts otherwise owing under the Earnout Payments and/or make a claim from the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off or the failure to make a claim from such escrow will constitute an election of remedies or limit Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

(c)

No disclosure by Seller shall have any effect on Seller’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party respecting Excluded Liabilities pursuant to Section 7.1. Notwithstanding any investigation or other review conducted prior to or after the Closing Date by or on behalf of any Party, each Party shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties, covenants and other provisions set forth herein and therein; provided, however, that neither Party shall be entitled to rely on any representation or warranty of the other Party that such Party knows to be false prior to the Closing Date, which knowledge the Party asserting such knowledge shall have the burden to demonstrate; provided, however, that for purposes of the previous clause, Purchaser shall not necessarily be deemed to have knowledge of any fact, circumstance or event solely because such fact, circumstance or event was disclosed in a document made available to Purchaser (or its Affiliates or



32














representatives) in the due diligence data room, or otherwise provided to Purchaser (or its Affiliates or representatives), by Seller (or its Affiliates or representatives) prior to Closing. Each Purchaser Indemnified Party and each Seller Indemnified Party shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless as fully as, and have the same related rights hereunder as, Purchaser and Seller, respectively.

(d)

Except as otherwise provided herein, any claims, disputes or controversies concerning questions of fact or law arising out of or relating to this Article VII, the performance or alleged breach thereof, shall be submitted to the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to Delaware Court of Chancery Rules 96 through 98 for final, binding arbitration; provided that a party shall be entitled to seek and obtain a restraining order or other injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 8.2. All fees and expenses of the arbitrator and all other expenses of the arbitration, except for attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be shared equally by the parties. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award against the other party for the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
