        For

        Capital ”
shall
        mean the current assets of the Companies as of the Closing Date (including
        accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts and restricted

        sheet
        as a current liability), (y) the total of all amounts payable under the Closing
        Date Bonus Plan and (z) all other Liabilities of the Companies as of the

        therefor), and shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP and the accounting
        policies and procedures employed in the preparation of Parent's publicly
        filed
        financial statements. Purchaser shall provide the Representative, and a single
        accounting firm for the Representative, reasonable access to all (i) work
        papers
        and written procedures used to prepare the Closing Statement and (ii) Books
        and
        Records and personnel to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the
        Representative and such accounting firm to conduct a sufficient review of
        the
        Closing Statement and verify the statements and calculations reflected thereon.
        If the Representative disputes any amount as shown on the Closing Statement,
        the
        Representative shall deliver to the Purchaser within 30 days after receipt
        of
        the Closing Statement a statement (the “ Dispute
        Notice ”)
        setting forth the Representative's calculation of such amount and describing
        in
        reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different amount.
        The
        parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a
        period
        of 30 days after the Representative has given the Dispute Notice. If the
        parties
        resolve such differences, the Closing Statement agreed to by the parties
        shall
        be deemed to be the “ Final
        Closing Statement .”
  (b)  If
        Purchaser and the Representative do not reach a final resolution on the Closing
        Statement within 30 days after the Representative has given the Dispute Notice,
        unless Purchaser and the Representative mutually agree to continue their
        efforts
        to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such
        differences, pursuant to an engagement agreement among the Purchaser, the
        Representative and the Neutral Accountant (which Purchaser and the
        Representative agree to execute promptly), in the manner provided below.
        Purchaser and the Representative shall each be entitled to make a presentation
        to the Neutral Accountant, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among
        Purchaser, the Representative and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot
        agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral
        Accountant), regarding such party’s determination of the amounts to be set forth
        on the Closing Statement; and the Neutral Accountant shall be required to
        resolve the differences between Purchaser and the Representative and determine
        the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement within 20 days after
        the
        engagement of the Neutral Accountant. The Closing Statement determined by
        the
        Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement. Such
        determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon
        the
        parties, absent fraud or manifest error. Nothing in this Section 1.4(b) shall
        be
        construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to:
  (i)  determine
        any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement
        except for the resolution of differences between Purchaser and the
        Representative regarding the determination of the Final Closing Statement;

        any such differences by making an adjustment to the Closing Statement that
        is
        outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by the Purchaser
        and
        the Representative.
  Purchaser,
        on the one hand, and the Representative, on behalf of Sellers and AWAC, shall
        each pay one half of the fees and expenses of the Neutral
        Accountant.

        At
        Purchaser’s option, up to **** [***]
        may
        be satisfied by the issuance to Sellers, AWAC and the participants in the
        Phantom Equity Plan of unregistered shares of Parent Common Stock (allocated
        in
        accordance with Schedule I to this Agreement and Schedule I to the Phantom
        Equity Plan, which allocation shall be set forth in written instructions
        from
        the Representative to Purchaser) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal
        to
        such portion of such Earnout Amount. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
        Fair Market Value will be determined as of the [***] Final Earnout Amount
        Determination Date. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued in satisfaction
        of
        any portion of an Earnout Amount are referred to as “ Earnout
        Shares ”
and,
        together with the Initial Shares, as the “ Parent
        Shares ”.
        In no
        event will any Parent Shares be issued hereunder if the issuance of such
        Parent
        Shares would cause (A) the sum of (1) the total number of Parent Shares issued
        pursuant to this Agreement, (2) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock,
        if
        any, owned by Sellers, AWAC and the participants in the Phantom Equity Plan
        immediately prior to the Closing and (3) the shares of Parent Common Stock,
        if
        any, issued to Sellers, AWAC and the participants in the Phantom Equity Plan
        pursuant to employment-related incentive grants to exceed 19.9% of the number
        of
        shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing
        or
        (B) the voting power of the securities described in the preceding clauses
        (A)(1)
        through (3) to exceed 19.9% of the voting power of the voting securities
        of
        Parent outstanding immediately prior to the Closing. [***] Sellers and AWAC
        acknowledge and agree that neither Purchaser nor any other Person makes any
        guarantee or representation to Sellers nor to AWAC that any Earnout Amount
        will
        be realized. Any Earnout Amount that is paid in cash or Earnout Shares to
        Sellers or AWAC or their designees shall be treated as a component of the
        Purchase Price.
 
 (b)
        Purchaser shall at its expense deliver to Representative within 90 days after
        the completion of:

  (c)
        Purchaser shall provide Representative and the accounting firm selected by
        Representative on behalf of the Sellers and AWAC with reasonable access to
        all
        books and records and working papers to the extent reasonably necessary to
        enable Representative and such accounting firm to verify such calculations
        after
        the delivery thereof.
  (d)  Such
        calculations shall be binding on the parties to this Agreement unless
        Representative, within 30 days after the delivery of the calculations by
        Purchaser to Representative, notifies Purchaser in writing that it objects
        to
        any item or computation in connection with the calculations and specify in
        reasonable detail the basis for such objection. If Representative delivers
        such
        a notice and Representative and Purchaser are unable to agree upon the
        calculations within 20 days after any notice of objection has been given
        by
        Representative to Purchaser, then at the election of either Purchaser or
        Representative, the dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Accountant
        for a
        final determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
        1.4(b), which determination shall be final and binding upon the parties,
        absent
        fraud or manifest error. Sellers and AWAC on the one hand and Purchaser on
        the
        other hand shall each bear one-half of the fees, costs and expenses of the
        Neutral Accountant in the event such an election is made.
  (e)  For
        purposes of this Agreement:
  (i)  the
        “ Average
        EBIT ”
shall
        equal **** [***]

        Average EBIT Amount "
        shall
        mean **** the
        Initial Average EBIT Amount, or such other amount as shall have been agreed
        to
        by Purchaser and Representative following a timely notice of objection as
        contemplated under this Section 1.5(e), or such other amount as determined
        by
        the Neutral Accountant; and
  [***]
  (f)  [***]
        the portion of an Earnout Amount that is satisfied by the issuance of shares
        of
        Parent Common Stock shall be delivered to Sellers, AWAC and the participants
        in
        the Phantom Equity Plan promptly after irrevocable instructions are given
        by
        Parent to its transfer agent to issue shares of Parent Common Stock to Sellers,
        AWAC and the participants in the Phantom Equity Plan in accordance with Schedule
        I to this Agreement and Schedule I to the Phantom Equity Plan and (y) Parent
        shall not be required to give such instructions until the third business
        day
        after Representative has notified Purchaser in writing of the address to
        which
        such shares of Parent Common Stock are to be delivered.

        Earnout
        Amount Determination Date (a “ Conversion
        Transaction ”)
        as a
        result of which substantially all of the outstanding shares of Parent Common
        Stock are converted into the right to receive, in whole or in part, equity
        securities, if such equity securities are traded on the New York Stock Exchange,
        the American Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market or another securities
        exchange or interdealer quotation system reasonably acceptable to the

        Agreement .
        During
        the applicable Restricted Period neither the Representative, the Sellers,
        AWAC
        nor and the participants in the Phantom Equity Plan shall sell, pledge, hedge
        or
        otherwise dispose of any economic interest in any of the Parent Shares
        (including by entering into any covered or uncovered short transaction) except
        pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of a Conversion Transaction,
        in
        which event the restrictions contained in this Section 1.6 shall apply to

means
        (i) with respect to the Initial Shares, the period ending on the first
        anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to the Earnout Shares,

  Section
        1.7.   Transferability;
        Resale Registration; Registration Procedures; Rule 144; Legending of Parent
        Shares
  (a)  (i)
        The
        Sellers and AWAC acknowledge that the Parent Shares are being acquired pursuant
        to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
        (the “ Securities
        Act ”)
        and
        that the Parent Shares may be transferred only pursuant to an effective
        registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities
        Act. Each Seller and AWAC represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under
        the
        Securities Act. Neither any Seller nor AWAC shall be permitted to transfer
        any
        Parent Shares in the absence of an effective registration statement unless
        such
        Seller or AWAC, as the case may be, if reasonably requested by Parent, has
        furnished an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent that such
        disposition does not require registration of such Parent Shares under the
        Securities Act. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
        opinions required by the Transfer Agent in connection with the transfer of
        Parent Shares by any Seller or AWAC to be provided to the Transfer Agent
        by
        counsel for Parent so long as such Seller or AWAC, as the case may be, and
        the
        broker involved in the transfer has furnished any certification reasonably
        requested by such counsel, and neither any Seller nor AWAC shall be required
        to
        provide a duplicative opinion.
 
 (ii)
        [***]
 
 (iii) In
        connection with the obligations of Parent with respect to a Resale Document,
        Parent shall:
  (A)
        prepare and file with the SEC, as specified in this Agreement, a Resale Document
        that complies as to form in all material respects with the requirements of
        the
        SEC and includes all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed
        therewith;
  (B)
        prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments
        to
        the Resale Registration
        Statement as
        may be
        necessary to keep the Resale Registration
        Statement effective
        for the Applicable Period, respond as promptly as practicable to any comments
        received from the SEC with respect to the Resale Document or any amendment
        thereto, and
        comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
        of all Parent Shares covered by the Resale Document in accordance with the
        sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in the Resale
        Document ;
 
 (C)
        furnish to the Sellers and AWAC, without charge, such
        number of copies of the Resale Document, and any amendments thereto, as such
        persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or
        other
        disposition of the Parent Shares and Parent consents to such use;
  (D)
        use
        commercially reasonable efforts to register
        or qualify the Parent Shares covered by the Resale Document under the securities
        or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Sellers and AWAC may request
        to
        keep such registration or qualification effective during the Applicable Period, provided , however ,
        that
        Parent shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to
        transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is
        not
        so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such
        jurisdiction;
  (E)
        notify the Sellers and AWAC promptly (i) when a Resale Registration
        Statement has
        become effective and when any post-effective amendments thereto become
        effective, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority
        of
        any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Resale Registration
        Statement or
        the
        initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the happening of
        any
        event during the period a Resale Registration
        Statement is
        effective as a result of which the Resale Document contains any untrue statement
        of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
        therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (iv)
        upon the occurrence of any such event, use commercially reasonable efforts
        to
        prepare promptly a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration
        Statement or
        the
        prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
        other
        required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the
        Parent Shares, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a
        material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
        or
        necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
        under which they were made, not misleading;
 
 (F)
        use
        its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
        the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Resale
        Registration Statement or any part thereof as promptly as possible;
  (G)
        use
        commercially reasonable efforts to list all Parent Shares on each securities
        exchange or quotation system on which the Parent Common Stock is then listed;
        and
 
 (H)
        pay,
        or cause to be paid, the expenses of the registration, provided that Parent
        shall not be required to pay any counsel or other advisory fees or expenses,
        or
        any underwriting discounts or commissions, incurred by Sellers or
        AWAC.
 
 (iv)
        Parent covenants that, so long as it is subject to the reporting requirements
        of
        the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange
        Act ”),
        it
        will timely file reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act
        so as
        to enable the Sellers and AWAC to sell such Parent Shares pursuant to Rule
        144
        under the Securities Act. Parent further covenants that so long as the Sellers
        or AWAC own any of such Parent Shares, Parent shall upon request furnish
        a
        written statement that it has complied with the reporting requirements of
        the
        Exchange Act and such other reports and documents so filed by Parent as may
        be
        reasonably requested by the Sellers or AWAC in availing themselves of any
        rule
        or regulation permitting the selling of such Parent Shares without registration.
        In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by the Sellers
        or
        AWAC of any Parent Shares pursuant to the Resale Document or Rule 144 under
        the
        Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate with the Sellers and AWAC to
        facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
        Parent Shares to be sold and not bearing any legend, and enable certificates
        for
        such Parent Shares to be for such number of shares as the Sellers and AWAC
        may
        reasonably request at least two (2) business days prior to any sale of such
        Parent Shares.
 
 (b)
        It is
        understood that the certificates evidencing the Parent Shares may bear a
        legend
        to the following effect:
  THE
        SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
        THE
        SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED,
        HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
        STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
        REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.
  The
        certificates evidencing the Parent Shares may also bear any legends required
        by
        applicable blue sky laws.
 
 (c)
        (i)
        Parent may, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, include in
        any
        non-underwritten registration of shares of Parent Common Stock any or all
        Parent
        Shares issued or to be issued for the account of the Sellers and AWAC hereunder.
        The inclusion of any Parent Shares that are subject to the restrictions set
        forth in Section 1.6 in a registration statement filed by Parent, or a
        prospectus supplement or amendment thereto, shall not affect the operation
        of
        Section 1.6 except as otherwise agreed by Parent in its sole discretion.
        For so
        long as any Parent Shares are included in an effective registration statement
        and during the period when Sellers and AWAC can make sales under such
        registration statement, the Sellers and AWAC agree not to dispose of such
        Parent
        Shares in a transaction that would require the filing of a Form 144. Any
        Parent
        Shares not included in an effective registration statement or, during the
        period
        when Sellers and AWAC cannot make sales under such registration statement,
        are
        so included may, subject to Section 1.6, be disposed of in a transaction
        under
        Rule 144 provided that the requirements of the rule are met and the applicable
        seller is not in possession of material, nonpublic information.
 
 (ii)
        (A)
        Parent will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted
        by law,
        the Sellers and AWAC, their officers, directors and agents, affiliates,
        advisors, brokers and employees, each person who controls any Seller or AWAC
        (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
        the
        Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents, affiliates, advisors,
        brokers
        and employees of any such controlling person, from and against all losses,
        claims, damages or liabilities, as incurred, arising out of or based upon
        any
        untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Resale
        Document arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to
        state
        therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
        the
        statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any violation by Parent
        of
        any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to
        Parent
        and relating to any action or inaction required by Parent in connection with
        any
        such registration, except to the extent the same are based upon information
        with
        respect to any Seller or AWAC furnished in writing to Parent by such Seller
        or
        AWAC expressly for use therein; and Parent will reimburse each such Person
        for
        any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating
        any such claim that is asserted or overtly threatened; provided , however ,
        that
        Parent will not be liable to such Seller or AWAC to the extent that any such
        losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon an
        untrue
        statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
        in
        any preliminary prospectus contained in a Resale Registration Statement if
        either (x)(i) such Seller or AWAC failed to send or deliver a copy of the
        applicable prospectus and prospectus supplement, if any, with or prior to
        the
        delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Seller or AWAC of a
        Parent
        Share to the person asserting the claim from which such losses, claims, damages
        or liabilities arise and (ii) the prospectus would have corrected such untrue
        statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission
        or
        (y) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or
        alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus
        previously furnished by or on behalf of Parent with copies of the prospectus
        as
        so amended or supplemented delivered by Parent, and such Seller or AWAC
        thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented
        prior
        to or concurrently with the sale of a Parent Share to the person asserting
        the
        claim from which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise; provided , further , however ,
        that
        the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(c)(ii)(A) will not
        apply
        to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
        if such settlement is effected without the consent of Parent (which consent
        will
        not be unreasonably withheld). The rights of the Sellers and AWAC hereunder
        will
        not be exclusive of the rights of the Sellers and AWAC under any other agreement
        or instrument.
 
 (B)
        Each
        Seller and AWAC will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
        permitted by law, Parent and its Affiliates (including, from and after the
        Closing, the Companies (other than AWAC)), the officers, directors and agents,
        affiliates, advisors, brokers and employees of each such Person, each
        underwriter of securities covered by a Resale Document, each person who controls
        any such Person (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
        Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, agents,
        affiliates, advisors, brokers and employees of any such underwriter or
        controlling person, from and against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
        as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement
        of a material fact contained in a Resale Document, or arising out of or based
        upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
        to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
        but only to the extent the same are contained in information with respect
        to
        such holder furnished in writing to Parent by such Seller or AWAC, as
        applicable, expressly for use therein; and each Seller and AWAC will reimburse
        each such Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
        connection with investigating any such claim that is asserted or overtly
        threatened; provided , however ,
        that
        the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(c)(ii)(B) will not
        apply
        to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
        if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Seller or AWAC,
        as
        applicable (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The rights
        of
        Parent and its Affiliates hereunder will not be exclusive of the rights of
        Parent and its Affiliates under any other agreement or instrument. In no
        event
        will the liability of any Seller or AWAC hereunder be greater in amount than
        the
        dollar amount of proceeds (net of payment of all expenses and underwriters'
        discounts and commissions) received by such Seller or AWAC, as applicable,
        upon
        the sale of the Parent Shares giving rise to such indemnification
        obligation.
 
 (d)  Upon
        the
        execution of an undertaking by each participant in the Phantom Equity Plan

        Act and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies

        factors so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of his investment
        in
        Parent and he is able financially to bear the risks thereof. AWAC has had
        an
        opportunity to discuss the terms of the offering and sale of the Parent Shares
        and Parent's business, management and financial affairs with Parent's management
        and to obtain any additional information regarding the foregoing which Parent
        possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. The Parent

        with a view to, or the intention of, any distribution in violation of the
        Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. AWAC understands
        that
        ( v )
        the
        Parent Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason
        of the
        issuance of the Shares in a transaction exempt from the registration
        requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof or Rule
        505
        or 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, ( vi )
        the
        Parent Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof
        is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration,
        ( vii )
        the
        Parent Shares will bear a legend to such effect and ( viii )
        Parent
        will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent to such
        effect.

        therefor hereunder).
  Section
        7.8.  Confidentiality .
        From
        and after the date hereof (unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance
        with its terms), each Seller and AWAC (each, an " Obligated
        Party ")
        will,
        and will cause such Obligated Party's Affiliates to, hold in strict confidence,
        and will not, and will cause such Obligated Party's Affiliates not to, disclose
        to any third party or use for any purpose, any and all information with respect
        to each Company, its business, the Transaction Documents or the transactions
        contemplated thereby, any information received by any Obligated Party regarding
        the Purchaser or the Parent, or any information regarding the Party’s
        negotiations (collectively, “ Confidential
        Information ”).
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Obligated Party may, and may permit such
        Obligated Party's Affiliates to, disclose Confidential Information (i) if
        compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by
        other
        requirements of Law (but subject to the following provisions of this Section),
        (ii) if the same hereafter is in the public domain through no fault of such
        Obligated Party, or (iii) if the same is later acquired by such Obligated
        Party
        from another source that is not under an obligation to another Person to
        keep
        such information confidential. In addition, any Obligated Party may disclose
        Confidential Information (i) in the ordinary course of business consistent
        with
        past practices in connection with such Obligated Party’s post-Closing employment
        and duties with IHS or iProcert, subject to the applicable policies and
        procedures of such Companies, Purchaser and Parent, and (ii) to his attorneys
        and financial advisors so long as such attorneys and financial advisors are
        advised of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information.
        "Confidential Information" shall not include information regarding the
        post-Closing operations of AWAC, if any, that are undertaken in compliance
        with
        this Agreement. If such Obligated Party or any of such Obligated Party's
        Affiliates is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories,
        requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil
        investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any Confidential
        Information, such Obligated Party shall provide Purchaser with prompt written
        notice of any such request or requirement so that Obligated Party may seek
        a
        protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with
        the
        provisions of this Section. If, in the absence of a protective order or other
        remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Purchaser, such Obligated Party or such
        Affiliate, as the case may be, nonetheless, based on the advice of outside
        counsel, is required to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal
        or in
        accordance with applicable Law, such Obligated Party or such Affiliate, without
        liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information which
        such
        counsel advises such Obligated Party or such Affiliate it is legally required
        to
        disclose. Each Obligated Party acknowledges and agrees that money damages
        would
        not be an adequate remedy for any breach of his agreements contained in this
        Section 7.8 and that in addition to any other remedies available to
        Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific
        performance and other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach
        of
        this Section 7.8.
  Section
        7.9.  Non-Competition .
        As a
        material inducement to Parent and Purchaser to enter into this Agreement,
        Dr.

        employee, employer, consultant, stockholder, partner or in any other capacity
        whatsoever, in the conduct or management of, or own any stock or any other
        equity investment in or debt of, or provide any services of any nature
        whatsoever to or in respect of (1) any business that is competitive with
        the
        Business or (2) any Person that is (or was) a customer or client of any Company
        at any time during the Non-Competition Period or during the two years prior
        to
        the date of this Agreement (a " Covered
        Client "),
        provided that (x) nothing herein shall prevent Dr. Richards from making passive
        investments in up to 5% of the common stock of any publicly traded company
        and
        (y) the preceding clause (2) shall not prevent Dr. Richards from providing
        services in any capacity to a Covered Client if (A) the job or service to
        be
        performed or provided by Dr. Richards for or to such Covered Client does
        not
        include the provision of any of the products or services provided by any
        Company
        at any time during the two years prior to the date of commencement of the
        services to be provided to the Covered Client, (B) Dr. Richards will not
        have
        direct or indirect responsibility for, and will not exercise any managerial
        function with respect to, personnel providing such products or services and
        (C)
        the job or service to be performed or provided by Dr. Richards does not involve
        the use or disclosure by Dr. Richards of any Confidential Information (as
        defined below).
  (k)  During
        the Non-Competition Period, Dr. Richards will not, and the Dr. Richards will
        cause his Affiliates not to, for or such Affiliate’s own benefit or for the
        benefit of any Person other than any Company, (i) solicit, or assist any
        person
        or entity to solicit, any officer, director, executive or employee of any
        Company to leave his or her employment, (ii) hire or cause to be hired any
        person who is then, or who will have been at any point in time during the
        Non-Competition Period, an officer, a director, an executive or an employee
        of
        any Company, or (iii) engage any Person who is then, or who will have been
        at
        any point in time during the Non-Competition Period, an officer, director,
        executive or employee of any Company as a partner, contractor, sub-contractor
        or
        consultant.
  (l)  During
        the Non-Competition Period, Dr. Richards will not, and Dr. Richards will
        cause
        his Affiliates not to, (i) solicit, or assist any person or entity other
        than
        any Company to solicit, any Person that is a client or customer of any Company,
        or has been a client or customer of any Company during the prior twelve (12)
        months, to provide any services competitive with those provided by any Company
        or (ii) interfere with any of the business relationships of any
        Company.
  (m)  Dr.
        Richards acknowledges that (i) the markets served by the Companies are national
        in scope and are not dependent on the geographic location of the executive
        personnel or the businesses by which they are employed; and (ii) the above
        covenants are manifestly reasonable on their face, and the parties expressly
        agree that such restrictions have been designed to be reasonable and no greater
        than is required for the protection of Purchaser and are a significant element
        of the consideration hereunder.
  (n)  If
        the
        final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term
        or
        provision of this Section 7.9 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree
        that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability
        shall
        have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision,
        to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable
        term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable
        that
        comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable
        term
        or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after
        the
        expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
  (o)  Dr.
        Richards agrees and acknowledges that in order to assure Parent and Purchaser
        that each of the Companies will retain the value of its operations, it is
        necessary that Dr. Richards undertake not to utilize his special knowledge
        of
        such business operations and Dr. Richards's relationships with customers
        to
        compete with Purchaser. Dr. Richards further acknowledges that:

        Richards is engaged in, is knowledgeable about, and provides services in
        connection with all aspects of the Companies’ business;

        the
        Companies' trade secrets and with other Confidential Information (as defined
        in
        Section 7.8) concerning the Business;
  (iii)

        agreements and covenants contained in Section 7.8 and this Section 7.9 are
        essential to protect the value and goodwill of the Business; and

        provisions contained in Section 7.8 and this Section 7.9 are integral to
        the
        transactions contemplated hereby and that Parent and Purchaser would not
        enter
        into the transactions without the protections afforded by Section 7.8 and
        this
        Section 7.9.

“AWAC.MD”, “Innovative Health Strategies”, “IHS”, “iProcert” or any derivatives
        thereof. Within five (5) business days after Closing, AWAC shall change its
        corporate name to remove any reference to “AWAC” “AWAC.MD” or any other trade

        Existence .
        AWAC
        hereby agrees that it will (and each Seller agrees that he will cause AWAC

  Section
        8.3.  Indemnification
        Procedures .
  (a) Third
        Party Claims .
        In the
        case of any claim asserted by a third party against a party entitled to
        indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be
        given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification
        (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party
        has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. If
        the
        Indemnifying Party acknowledges that the third party claim is within the
        scope
        of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified
        Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying
        Party) to assume the defense of any third party claim or any litigation with
        a
        third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (a) the counsel
        for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
        litigation shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party (which
        approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (b) the
        Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s
        expense (which shall not be subject to reimbursement hereunder except as
        provided below), and (c) the failure by any Indemnified Party to give
        notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
        indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent
        that such Indemnifying Party is actually damaged as a result of such failure
        to
        give notice. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
        no
        Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall
        consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides
        for
        injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or
        that
        does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant
        or
        plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a general release from any and all
        liability with respect to such claim or litigation. If the Indemnified Party
        shall in good faith determine that the conduct of the defense of any claim
        subject to indemnification hereunder or any proposed settlement of any such
        claim by the Indemnifying Party might be expected to affect adversely the
        ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its business, or that the
        Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims
        that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to
        the
        Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim or any litigation relating thereto,
        the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and
        assume
        control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or litigation relating
        to any
        such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however,
        that
        if the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume control, the Indemnified
        Party shall not settle such claim or litigation without the prior written
        consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
        or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any
        matter
        as above provided within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from
        the
        Indemnified Party described above, the Indemnified Party shall have the full
        right to defend against any such claim or demand at the sole cost of the
        Indemnifying Party and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full
        such
        claim or demand. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
        Party
        shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject
        to
        this Article VIII and the records of each shall be reasonably available to
        the
        other with respect to such defense.
  (b) Non-Third
        Party Claims .
        With
        respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder which does not involve
        a
        third party claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party
        written notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and
        agree
        by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy such claim within
        twenty (20) days of receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified
        Party.
        If the Indemnifying Party shall dispute such claim, the Indemnifying Party
        shall
        provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such
        20-day period, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such dispute.
        Upon receipt of notice of any such dispute, the Indemnified Party and the
        Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within
        thirty (30) days of the date such notice of dispute is received. If the
        Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified
        Party
        within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that
        the
        Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes
        such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and
        agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute
        such
        claim. Once (a) the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed to pay
        any
        claim pursuant to this Section 8.3, (b) any dispute under this Section 8.3
        has
        been resolved in favor of indemnification by mutual agreement of the
        Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (c) any dispute under this
        Section 8.3 has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by order
        of a
        court of competent jurisdiction or other tribunal (including an arbitrator
        contemplated by this agreement) having jurisdiction over such dispute, then
        the
        Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such claim to the Indemnified
        Party
        within twenty (20) days of the date of acknowledgement by the Indemnifying
        Party
        or final resolution in favor of indemnification, as the case may be, to such
        account and in such manner as is designated in writing by the Indemnified
        Party.
  Section
        8.4.  Expiration
        of Representations and Warranties .
        [***] provided , however ,
        that
        (i) the representations and warranties stated in Sections 3.9, 3.14 and
        3.18 shall survive the Closing for the period ending on the date that is
        30 days
        after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period and
        (ii)
        the representations and warranties stated in Article II and in Sections 3.1,
        3.2, 3.11(c), 3.24, 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2 shall survive
        indefinitely.
  Section
        8.5.  Exclusive
        Remedy .
        Absent
        fraud or criminal activity and except as provided under Sections 7.8 and
        7.9 and in Article IX, the indemnifications provided for in this Article
        VIII
        shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedies available to any party
        against any other party for any claims under or based upon this
        Agreement.
  Section
        8.6.  Set
        Off .
        Subject
        to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.4, if a Seller shall have
        any
        Liability to Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnitee, including Parent
        or
        any of its Subsidiaries (pursuant to this Article VIII, Article IX or
        otherwise), Purchaser or such other Purchaser Indemnitee, as the case may
        be,
        shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy they may have,
        to
        exercise rights of set-off against any payments or securities payable or
        deliverable to the Sellers in connection with the Transaction Documents or
        otherwise, including without limitation pursuant to Section 1.5 of this
        Agreement.

        IX**
  CERTAIN
        TAX MATTERS
  Section
        9.1.  Taxable
        Periods That Begin Before and End After the Closing Date .
        For
        purposes of this Agreement, (a) in the case of any taxable period of any
        Company
        that commences prior to and includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date
        (a
“ Straddle
        Period ”),
        the
        amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of any Company
        for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing
        of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount
        of
        other Taxes of any Company for a Straddle Period which relate to the Pre-Closing
        Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable
        period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days
        in
        the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which
        is
        the number of days in such Straddle Period; and (b) the amount of Taxes of
        any
        Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period, whether with respect to a Straddle
        Period or not, shall also be determined as if the taxable period of any
        partnership or other pass-thru entity in which such Company holds a beneficial
        interest terminated as of the close of business on the Closing
        Date.
  Section
        9.2.   Tax
        Returns; Tax Sharing Agreements .
        (a) The
        Representative will prepare any income Tax Returns of the Companies for taxable
        periods ending on or before the Closing Date. The Representative shall permit
        Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Return prior to filing (other
        than Tax Returns of AWAC) and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns
        as
        are reasonably requested by Purchaser. Parent will prepare or cause to be
        prepared and file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns of the Companies
        (other than AWAC) which are filed after the Closing Date. The Sellers agree
        jointly and severally to remit to the applicable Company the amount of any
        Taxes
        due with respect to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date
        and the
        amount of any Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period under Section
        9.1
        with respect to a Straddle Period Tax Return within the later of 10 days
        of
        Parent or the applicable Company’s request therefor or 10 days prior to the date
        on which the Tax liability is required to be satisfied, except to the extent
        that the liability for such Taxes was taken into account in determining the
        Closing Working Capital Amount.
  (b)
        All
        Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving
        any
        Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing
        Date,
        the Companies shall not be bound thereby or have any liability
        thereunder.
 
 Section
        9.3.  [Intentionally
        Omitted]
  Section
        9.4.  Tax
        Indemnity .
        (a) The
        Sellers and AWAC will jointly and severally indemnify and hold Parent, Purchaser
        and the Companies (other than AWAC) and each of their respective successors
        and
        assigns (each, a “ Tax
        Indemnitee ”)
        harmless against all Losses attributable to (i) (A) any Taxes of AWAC and
        (B)
        any Taxes of IHS or iProcert for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) Taxes of
        any
        member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which
        any
        Company (or any predecessor) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing
        Date,
        including pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations or any
        analogous or similar state, local or foreign income Tax law or regulation,
        (iii)
        Taxes of any Person other than any Company that are imposed on any Company
        as a
        transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise, which Taxes related to
        and
        result from an event or transaction occurring prior to the Closing and (iv)
        any
        breach of the covenants in this Article IX; provided , however ,
        that in
        any such case the Sellers will be liable only to the extent that such Taxes
        exceed the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes as reflected in Final
        Closing
        Statement. The limitations on indemnification contained in Article VIII will
        not
        apply to any claim for indemnification under this Article IX. If a Party
        has any
        indemnification obligations with respect to any Loss under both this Article
        IX
        and Article VIII, the indemnification obligations under this Article IX will
        control and be their exclusive obligation. Subject to Section 9.4(b), the
        Sellers shall reimburse Parent, Purchaser and the Companies for any Losses
        which
        are the responsibility of any Sellers pursuant to this Section 9.4(a) within
        ten
        days after the later of (i) the incurrence of such Losses or (ii) Parent
        or any
        Company’s request thereof.
  (b)
        After
        the Closing, Parent shall inform the Representative within fifteen (15) days
        of
        its receipt of any notice of any Tax audit, assessment, adjustment, examination
        or proceeding (“ Tax
        Contest ”)
        relating in whole or in part to Taxes for which a Tax Indemnitee may be entitled
        to indemnity from the Sellers and AWAC hereunder; provided , however ,
        that
        the failure of Parent to provide such notice shall not affect the Sellers'
        nor
        AWAC’s indemnity obligations under Section 9.4(a) except to the extent that the
        Seller or AWAC is materially prejudiced. If the Representative notifies Parent
        within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of such Tax Contest that
        the
        Representative intends to exercise his contest rights under this Section
        9.4(b),
        the Representative shall have the right to control such Tax Contest at his
        expense and to employ counsel of his choice. Parent shall have the right
        to
        participate in any such Tax Contest at its own expense, shall be entitled
        to
        control the disposition of any issue in any such Tax Contest that does not
        affect a potential liability of the Sellers or AWAC, and shall be entitled
        to
        jointly control with the Representative the defense and disposition of any
        issue
        in any such Tax Contest that relates to any Straddle Period. Parent shall
        control any other Tax Contests. With respect to a Tax Contest which the
        Representative is entitled to control, the Representative shall have the
        right
        to determine all issues relating to the Tax Contest except that the
        Representative shall not settle any Tax Contest without the prior consent
        of
        Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). Parent shall deliver
        to
        Representative any power of attorney reasonably required to allow the
        Representative and his counsel to represent Parent and the Companies in
        connection with any Tax Contest that the Representative is entitled to control
        hereunder and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Representative
        with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Representative
        in
        connection with any such Tax Contest. The Parties each agree to consult with
        and
        to keep the other Parties hereto informed on a regular basis regarding the
        status of any Tax Contest to the extent that such Tax Contest could affect
        a
        liability of such other Party (including indemnity obligations hereunder).
 
 (c)
        To
        the extent allowable under applicable law, all amounts payable under Article
        VIII and this Section 9.4 will be treated for Tax purposes as adjustments
        to the Purchase Price.
 
 (d)  Parent,
        the Companies and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent
        reasonably requested by one another, in connection with the preparation and
        filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with
        respect
        to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another’s
        request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant
        to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available
        on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation
        of any material provided hereunder. Parent and the Companies on the one hand,
        and the Sellers on the other, agree (i) to retain all books and records with
        respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies relating to any taxable
        periods, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior
        to
        transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if
        so
        requested, the Parent, the Companies, or the Seller, as the case may be,
        shall
        allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and records.
        The
        parties hereto agree, upon request, to use reasonable efforts to obtain any
        certificate or other document from any taxing authority or any other Person
        as

        and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection
        therewith (without the requirement of the posting of a bond or other surety).
        Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be
        in
        addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement
        or
        otherwise.
  Section
        10.6.  Submission
        to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process .

        federal or state court located in New York, New York over any dispute arising
        out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
        hereby and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect
        of
        such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto may be heard
        and
        determined in such courts. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest
        extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or
        hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such
        court
        or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.
        Each
        of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced
        in
        other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
        by
        law.
  Section
        10.7.  Entire
        Agreement; Amendments and Waivers .

        Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire
        understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject
        matter hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision
        hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference
        to

        modification or waiver sought to be enforced against Purchaser or Parent,
        or the
        Representative, in the case of an amendment, supplement, modification or
        waiver

        pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation
        by
        or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the
        Party
        taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant
        or
        agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision
        of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing
        waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No
        failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
        any
        right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
        any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party
        preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
        right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not
        exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
