9.4 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.
(a) Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, the party to be indemnified
hereunder (the "Indemnitee") shall promptly notify the indemnifying party
hereunder (the "Indemnitor") in writing of any damage, claim, loss, liability or
expense or other matter which the Indemnitee has determined has given or could
give rise to a claim for which indemnification rights are granted hereunder
(such written notice referred to as the "Notice of Claim"). The Notice of Claim
shall specify, in all reasonable detail, the nature and estimated amount of any
such claim giving rise to a right of indemnification, to the extent the same can
reasonably be estimated. Any failure on the part of an Indemnitee to give timely
notice to the Indemnitor of a claim shall not affect the right of the Indemnitee
to obtain indemnification from the Indemnitor with respect to such claim unless
the Indemnitor is actually harmed by such failure to notify, and only to the
extent of such actual harm.
(b) With respect to any matter set forth in a Notice of Claim
relating to a third party claim the Indemnitor shall defend, in good faith and
at its expense, any such claim or demand, and the Indemnitee, at its expense,
shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such third party
claim. So long as Indemnitor is defending, in good faith, any such third party
claim, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such third party claim. The
Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor or its representatives all
records and other materials reasonably required by them for use in contesting
any third party claim and shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in the
defense of all such claims. If the Indemnitor does not defend any such third
party claim or if the Indemnitor does not provide the Indemnitee with prompt and
reasonable assurances that the Indemnitor will satisfy the third party claim,
the Indemnitee may, at its option, elect to defend any such third party claim,
at the Indemnitor's expense. An Indemnitor may not settle or compromise any
claim without obtaining a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee,
unless the Indemnitee consents in writing to such settlement or compromise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a reasonable probability that a third
party claim for which HALIS or the Surviving Corporation has indemnification
rights against the Shareholders hereunder will materially and adversely affect
HALIS or the Surviving Corporation other than as a result of money damages or
other payments, HALIS or the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to conduct
the defense of such claim at the Shareholders' expense.
9.5 SET-OFF. HALIS and the Surviving Corporation shall have the right
to set-off and apply against any other amounts owing from HALIS or the Surviving
Corporation to the Shareholders under any other agreement between HALIS or the
Surviving Corporation and
51
59
Shareholders, all sums in respect of which the Shareholders may be liable
pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, such right of set-off to be in addition to and
not in lieu of or an election against any and all other remedies available to
HALIS and the Surviving Corporation under this Agreement or at law or in equity.
9.6 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS.
9.6.1 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS OTHER THAN HOMA.
Shareholders other than Homa shall have no liability with respect to Losses of
HALIS arising under subparagraphs (a), (b), or (d) of Section 9.2.1 until the
total of all Losses of HALIS with respect thereto exceeds $50,000. If the
aggregate Losses of HALIS exceed such $50,000 threshold, PhySource and the
Shareholders other than Homa shall be liable for all Losses of HALIS to the
extent (and only to the extent) Losses of HALIS exceed such $50,000 threshold.
The sole and exclusive recourse of HALIS and the Surviving Corporation for any
claim hereunder, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to the
shares of HALIS Common Stock received by a Shareholder in exchange for the
shares of PhySource Common Stock (valued at the greater of the per share price
calculated pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Agreement or the average of the bid
and asked price of HALIS Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately prior
to the payment of a claim hereunder), and, with respect to any shares of HALIS
Common Stock received by a Shareholder in connection with the Merger and
subsequently sold, the amount of gross cash proceeds from the sale thereof, less
any sales commissions or discounts. No Shareholder shall be liable for any
claims hereunder attributable to any act or omission of any other Shareholder
acting in his or her capacity as a Shareholder, and the aggregate liability of
the Shareholders under this Section 9 shall not exceed $2,000,000, except in the
case of any intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach. Any
indemnifiable liability under this Section 9 shall be limited to the amount of
actual damages subject to indemnification actually sustained, net of any
applicable insurance, third party payments or other reimbursement or tax benefit
received or realized.
9.6.2 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF HOMA. Homa shall have no liability
with respect to Losses of HALIS arising under subparagraph (a), (b) or (d) of
Section 9.2.2 until the total of all Losses of HALIS with respect thereto
exceeds $50,000. If the aggregate Losses of HALIS exceed such $50,000 threshold,
Homa S.C. and Homa shall be liable for all Losses of HALIS to the extent (and
only to the extent) the Losses of HALIS exceed such $50,000 threshold.
9.7 EXCLUSIVITY. After the Closing, the indemnities set forth in this
Section 9 shall be the exclusive remedies of HALIS and the Surviving Corporation
and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates for
any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment or failure to
perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and the parties
shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement or to any further
indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof,
all of which are hereby waived.

SECTION 10. REGISTRATION OF SHARES
10.1 REGISTRATION STATEMENT.
(a) After the Closing Date, HALIS shall (at its own expense)
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement (the "Registration
Statement") with respect to resales of shares of HALIS Common Stock received in
the Merger by each Participating Holder (as defined in Section 10.1(c)). HALIS
shall use reasonable efforts: (a) to cause the Registration Statement to be
declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable but in any event no later
than on or before the date that is six months after the Closing Date; and (b) to
cause the Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i)
the third anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) the date on which the
distribution described in the Registration Statement is completed as to all
Participating Holders (as defined in subsection (c) below). HALIS shall notify
the Shareholders' Agent at least ten business days prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement.
(b) HALIS shall (at its own expense):
(i) prepare and file promptly with the SEC such amendments to
the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the related
prospectus, as may be required in order to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, to
maintain the effectiveness or currency thereof;
(ii) furnish to the respective Participating Holders such
numbers of copies of a prospectus conforming to the requirements of the
Securities Act as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the shares covered by the Registration Statement;
and
(iii) use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
shares covered by the Registration Statement under the Securities laws
of such states as the respective Participating Holders may reasonably
request, provided, however, that HALIS shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do
business or to file a general consent to service of process in any of
such states.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Person who
receives HALIS Common Stock in the Merger shall have any rights under this
Section 10 unless such Person executes and delivers to HALIS a written
agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and content to HALIS, confirming that
such Person wishes to be allowed to sell HALIS Common Stock pursuant to the
Registration Statement and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section
10. (A Person who holds any of the HALIS Common Stock delivered in the Merger
and who executes and delivers such an agreement is referred to in this Section
10 as a "Participating Holder.") Any Participating Holder who delivers such an
agreement more than 30 days after the Closing Date may be required to pay, as a
condition to exercising rights under this Section 10, the amount of incremental
expenses incurred by HALIS in complying therewith. No Participating Holder shall
sell any HALIS Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement at any time
HALIS shall have furnished written notice
53
61
that the Registration Statement is not then effective or the prospectus that
forms a part thereof is not current.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all
of HALIS's obligations under this Section 10 (including its obligation to file
and maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement) shall terminate
and expire as of the earliest date on which all of the shares of HALIS Common
Stock issued in the Merger can be sold without any restrictions as to volume or
manner of sale pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
10.2 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) HALIS agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each
Participating Holder against all Damages suffered by such Participating Holder
as a result of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained
in the Registration Statement or in the related prospectus or preliminary
prospectus (or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or as a result of
any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
insofar as such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission results from or is contained in any information furnished in writing to
HALIS by such Participating Holder for use therein or results from such
Participating Holder's failure to deliver a copy of a Registration Statement or
related prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) after HALIS
has furnished such Participating Holder with a sufficient number of copies
thereof. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to a party,
then HALIS shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such party an
amount that reflects the relative fault of HALIS with respect to such untrue
statement or omission.
(b) In connection with the Registration Statement, each
Participating Holder (i) shall furnish to HALIS in writing such information and
affidavits as HALIS reasonably requests for use in connection with such
Registration Statement or the related prospectus, and (ii) to the extent
permitted by law, will indemnify HALIS, its directors and officers and each
Person who controls HALIS (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all
Damages resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in such Registration Statement or in the related prospectus or
preliminary prospectus (or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or
from any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to
the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission results from or is contained in any information or affidavit furnished
in writing by such Participating Holder.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 10
will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks indemnification, and (ii) unless in the indemnified
party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest exists between the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit
the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed,
the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any consent to
the entry of any judgment or any settlement made by the indemnified
54
62
party without the indemnifying party's consent (but such consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). Any indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim will pay the fees and expenses of only one
counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to
such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a
conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other
indemnified party with respect to such claim (in which case the indemnifying
party will pay the fees and expenses of additional counsel).
10.3 DELAY OF REGISTRATION. For a period not to exceed 90 days, HALIS
may delay the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or suspend
the use of the Registration Statement (and the Participating Holders hereby
agree not to offer or sell any shares of HALIS Common Stock pursuant to the
Registration Statement during such period), at any time when HALIS, in its
reasonable judgment (confirmed in writing if requested by any Participating
Holder), believes:
(a) that the filing of a Registration Statement or the offering or
sale of HALIS Common Stock pursuant thereto, or the making of any required
disclosure in connection therewith, could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect upon (i) a pending or scheduled offering of HALIS's
securities, (ii) an acquisition, merger, consolidation, joint venture, equity
investment or other potentially significant transaction or event, or (iii) any
negotiations, discussions or proposal with respect to any of the foregoing; and
(b) that the failure to disclose any material information with
respect to any of the foregoing could result in a violation of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or any provision of any state securities law.
In the event HALIS reasonably believes that any of the foregoing circumstances
are continuing after such 90-day period, it may, with the consent of the holders
of a majority of the shares of HALIS Common Stock subject (or to be subject) to
the Registration Statement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
extend such 90-day period for one additional 30-day period.
10.4 COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. Until termination of the period
specified in Section 10.1(d), HALIS shall take all actions necessary to permit
Shareholders to resell the shares of HALIS Common Stock received in the Merger
in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
11.1 SHAREHOLDERS' AGENT. The Shareholders hereby irrevocably appoint
Xxxxxx X. XxXxxxxxxx as their agent for purposes of Sections 1.10, 9 and
11.10(c) (the "Shareholders' Agent"), and Xxxxxx X. XxXxxxxxxx hereby accepts
this appointment as the Shareholders' Agent. HALIS shall be entitled to deal
exclusively with the Shareholders' Agent on all matters relating to Sections
1.10, 9 and 11.10(c), and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without
further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported
to be executed on behalf of any Shareholder by the Shareholders' Agent, and on
any other action taken or purported to be taken on
55
63
behalf of any Shareholder by the Shareholders' Agent, as fully binding upon such
Shareholder. If the Shareholders' Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise
be unable to fulfill his responsibilities as agent of the Shareholders, then the
Shareholders shall, within ten (10) days after such death or disability, appoint
a successor agent and, immediately thereafter, shall notify HALIS of the
identity of such successor. Any such successor shall become the "Shareholders'
Agent" for purposes of Sections 1.10, 9 and 11.10(d). If for any reason there is
no Shareholders' Agent at any time, all references herein to the Shareholders'
Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Shareholders.
11.2 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to
be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents,
and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request
(prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or
evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
11.3 FEES AND EXPENSES. Subject to Section 9, all fees, costs and
expenses (including legal fees and accounting fees) that have been incurred or
that are incurred in the future by such party in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees, costs and
expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of (a) any
investigation and review conducted by such party of the other parties' business
(and the furnishing of information in connection with such investigation and
review), (b) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement
(including the Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions
and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) the preparation and
submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection
with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the obtaining
of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such
transactions, and (d) the consummation of the Merger shall be paid: (i) by
HALIS, if incurred by HALIS or the Subsidiary; (ii) by PhySource, if incurred by
PhySource or the Shareholders other than Homa; and (iii) by Homa, if incurred by
Homa S.C. or Homa; provided, however, that neither PhySource nor Homa S.C. shall
incur any additional debt, defer the payment of any expenses, or take any other
action not in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of providing funds
for the payment of such expenses.
11.4 ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought
against any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other
