.
(a)Closing Date Consideration. In consideration for the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall (x) assume the Assumed Liabilities as provided in Section 2.1(c) and (y) pay to Allscripts Healthcare (on behalf of the Sellers) cash in an amount equal to the Closing Date Consideration. The “Closing Date Consideration” shall be equal to the Base Purchase Price, as increased by the Working Capital Overage, if any, or decreased by the Working Capital Underage, if any minus the Agreed Adjustment Amount.
(b)Estimated Closing Date Statement. Not later than the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Allscripts Healthcare shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Buyer an estimated closing statement (the “Estimated Closing Date Statement”) setting forth Allscripts Healthcare’s good faith calculation of the Estimated Closing Date Consideration, and detailing the estimated Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital set forth in the Estimated Closing Date Statement will be prepared in accordance with Exhibit F. Buyer shall be entitled to comment on and request reasonable changes to the Estimated Closing Date Statement and Allscripts Healthcare shall consider in good faith any changes Buyer proposes to the Estimated Closing Date Statement and revise such statement if, based on its good faith assessment, such changes are warranted. To the extent that any Seller or its respective Affiliate receives a payment, credit or adjustment for Aged A/R prior to the Closing that can be specifically identified to a particular invoice, such payment, credit or adjustment will be allocated to that particular invoice; in all other cases, a Seller will contact the applicable account debtor and apply the payment as directed by the account debtor. No Seller will encourage an account debtor to designate payment to any specific invoice.
(c)Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Lower Target, then the Closing Date Consideration will be reduced by an amount (such amount expressed as an absolute value) equal to the Working Capital Lower Target minus the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (such amount, the “Working Capital Underage”). If the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Upper Target, then the Closing Date Consideration will be increased by an amount (such amount expressed as an absolute value) equal to the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital minus the Working Capital Upper Target (such amount, the “Working Capital Overage”). If the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than or equal to the Working Capital Lower Target, but less than or equal to the Working Capital Upper Target, then the Closing Date Consideration will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), but may be subject to adjustment for a Working Capital Underage or Working Capital Overage following the Closing, as otherwise provided in Section 2.3.
(d)Closing Payments. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Allscripts Healthcare (on behalf of the Sellers) the Estimated Closing Date Consideration.

2.3Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustments
.
(a)Final Closing Date Statement. Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Allscripts Healthcare a statement (the “Final Closing Date Statement”), setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Closing Date Consideration, and detailing the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (the “Final Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The Final Closing Date Statement, including the calculation of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, is to be prepared in accordance with Exhibit F. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Final Closing Date Statement and determining the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.3, is to measure the amount of change between the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of preparing the Final Closing Date Statement or determining the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital. If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Final Closing Date Statement in accordance with the foregoing, then Allscripts Healthcare shall provide prompt written notice of such failure and, to the extent Buyer subsequently fails to deliver the Final Closing Date Statement within fifteen (15) days after such notice, then, at the election of Allscripts Healthcare in its sole discretion, either (1) the Estimated Closing Date Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Date Statement or (2) Allscripts Healthcare shall retain (at the expense of Buyer) the dispute resolution group of the Atlanta office of Ernst & Young Global Limited or if the Atlanta office of Ernst & Young Global Limited refuses such submission, the dispute resolution group of a nationally-recognized, independent accounting firm (such accounting firm, the “Accounting Firm”), to provide an audit of the EPSi Business’ books, review the calculation of the Estimated Closing Date Consideration and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3, the determination of the Accounting Firm being conclusive and binding on the Parties. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer shall make any relevant books and records available to the Accounting Firm in connection with its services, and all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by Buyer.
(b)Dispute. Within forty-five (45) days following timely receipt by Allscripts Healthcare of the Final Closing Date Statement (the “Dispute Period”), Allscripts Healthcare shall deliver written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer of any disagreement Allscripts Healthcare has with respect to the preparation or content of the Final Closing Date Statement. Such Dispute Notice must describe in reasonable detail the items contained in the Final Closing Date Statement with which Allscripts Healthcare disagrees and, to the extent available, the basis for any such disagreement. If Allscripts Healthcare does not provide Buyer with a Dispute Notice related to the Final Closing Date Statement within the Dispute Period, the Final Closing Date Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.3(a) will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Any item in the Final Closing Date Statement not included in the Dispute Notice shall be final, binding, and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event Allscripts Healthcare provides Buyer with a Dispute Notice, Buyer and Allscripts Healthcare shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all disagreements related thereto. If Buyer and Allscripts Healthcare, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve any of the disagreements contained in the Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after Allscripts
8
Healthcare provides Buyer with such Dispute Notice, then Buyer and Allscripts Healthcare jointly shall engage the Accounting Firm or such other nationally recognized accounting firm as may be mutually acceptable to Buyer and Allscripts Healthcare to resolve any such disagreement(s).
(c)Method of Dispute Resolution. Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer will enter into a customary engagement agreement with the Accounting Firm and agree to cooperate in good faith with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement. Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm that it: (i) shall review only the unresolved disputed items contained in the Dispute Notice; (ii) shall make its determination based solely upon the written submissions of Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer (i.e., not by independent review), and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definitions set forth herein; (iii) shall render its decision within thirty (30) days after the referral of the dispute to the Accounting Firm for a decision pursuant hereto; and (iv) shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. As promptly as practicable following the Accounting Firm’s engagement, Buyer and Allscripts Healthcare shall each prepare and submit a presentation to the Accounting Firm. Following the delivery of the presentations, Buyer and Allscripts Healthcare may each submit a response to the other Party’s presentation. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Accounting Firm shall make its final determination with respect to each disputed item based solely on their respective presentations. Neither Allscripts Healthcare nor Buyer (and none of their respective representatives) shall have any ex parte conversation(s) or meeting(s) with the Accounting Firm without the prior consent of (x) with respect to Allscripts Healthcare, Buyer and (y) with respect to Buyer, Allscripts Healthcare. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Allscripts Healthcare, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of Buyer’s position, 60% of the costs of the Accounting Firm would be borne by Allscripts Healthcare and 40% of the costs would be borne by Buyer. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.
(d)Access. For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.3, each Party shall promptly and reasonably cooperate with and make reasonably available to the other Parties and their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers, including reasonable access to its applicable accounting and finance personnel during normal business hours, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Estimated Closing Date Statement and the Final Closing Date Statement and the resolution of any disagreement related thereto.
(e)Post-Closing Adjustment. Not later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date on which all of the items on the Final Closing Date Statement are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer shall jointly determine the amount by which the Estimated Closing Date Consideration would have been adjusted pursuant to
9
Section 2.1 had the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, been substituted for the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital.
(i)If such substitution would have resulted in a Closing Date Consideration that is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Consideration (any such excess, the “Price Increase”), then Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Allscripts Healthcare (on behalf of the Sellers) within three (3) Business Days from the date on which the Final Closing Date Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Price Increase.
(ii)If such substitution would have resulted in a Closing Date Consideration that is less than the Estimated Closing Date Consideration (such deficit, the “Price Decrease”), then Allscripts Healthcare shall pay or cause to be paid to Buyer, within three (3) Business Days from the date on which the Final Closing Date Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Price Decrease.
(iii)If such substitution would have resulted in a Closing Date Consideration equal to the Estimated Closing Date Consideration, then no adjustment shall be made to the consideration payable hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.3.
. Sellers and Buyer (as appropriate) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required by applicable Tax Law to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. If any amounts are to be withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall give prompt notice to such Person and cooperate with such Person in good faith to reduce or mitigate such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Article III
CLOSING AND DELIVERIES
. The closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via electronic transmission of documentation (such as by use of .pdf), on the third (3rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver by the Party entitled to the benefit of such condition of each of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), or on such other date or at such other time and place or by any such other method as the Parties mutually agree in writing; provided, for accounting purposes, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred as of 12:01 a.m. EST on the Closing Date (such time, the “Effective Time”).

33
court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, delete specific words or phrases or replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
7.6Antitrust and Other Closing Matters
.
(a)Each of Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer agrees to file all appropriate notifications and filings pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the most expeditious manner practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date hereof and to respond promptly to any request for additional information and documentary material that may be issued to such Party by the relevant Governmental Authorities in connection with the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law. Each of Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer agrees to use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law. No Party shall take any action or step to extend, delay, or prevent the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law without the express advance written consent of the other Parties. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Buyer and each Seller agree to use reasonable best efforts to take, and to cause its Affiliates to take, any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate as soon as possible each and every impediment under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or third party including (X) using commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any request for additional information or documentary material from any United States or foreign antitrust Governmental Authority and (Y) using commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any second request from any United States or foreign antitrust Governmental Authority; provided, however, Buyer, Guarantor, Parent and Sellers shall not be required to, and in the case of the Purchased Assets, no Seller shall without prior consent of Buyer, commit to and/or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale or disposition of any assets, securities, facilities or other properties, the licensing of any intellectual property, or any other structural or conduct relief, in order to facilitate the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period or otherwise obtain all applicable merger control clearances under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law requirements; and provided, further, neither Buyer nor Guarantor shall have any obligation to litigate or contest any Action or Order seeking to enjoin, restraint, or prohibit the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall pay the filing fees associated with all filings under the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust Law. Allscripts and Buyer shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to the Antitrust Laws. Each of the Parties agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any antitrust Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the reasonable opportunity to attend and participate. Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer will supply each other with (i) in advance of submission and with a reasonable opportunity for review and comment thereon, a draft of any contemplated substantive communication with an antitrust Governmental
34
Authority relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) copies of all substantive correspondence, filings or communications with antitrust Governmental Authorities with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that to extent any of the documents or information are commercially or competitively sensitive, Allscripts Healthcare or Buyer, as the case may be, may satisfy its obligations by providing such documents or information to the other Party’s outside antitrust counsel, with the understanding and agreement that such antitrust counsel shall not share such documents and information with its client.
(b)No Party will enter into any transaction, or any contractual arrangement or other agreement, whether oral or written, to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that could reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult, or to materially increase the time required, to: (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law, (ii) avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order or decree that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
.
(a)Buyer agrees and acknowledges that, except as set forth in this Section 7.7, nothing herein grants Buyer or its Affiliates any rights in any registered or unregistered Trademarks incorporating the word “Allscripts” or any of the words, marks, corporate symbols, acronyms or logos of Sellers and their respective Affiliates (except as included in the Purchased Assets) or any derivation thereof (collectively, the “Seller Marks”). Except as set forth in Section 7.7(b), Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, use the Seller Marks in connection with the EPSi Business or for any other purpose following the Closing.
(b)Effective as of the Closing and until the three (3) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Marks Transition Period”), Sellers and their respective Affiliates hereby grant to Buyer and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Seller Marks in connection with the operation of the EPSi Business, including on websites and materials such as signs, purchase orders, invoices, sales orders, labels, letterheads, shipping documents, business cards and product packaging. Promptly following the Closing (and in any event prior to the expiration of the Marks Transition Period), Buyer shall effect the elimination of any use of the Seller Marks in the EPSi Business, including by removing the Seller Marks from the EPSi Business’ respective signage, stationary, purchase orders, invoices, labels, packaging, business cards, equipment, machinery and advertising materials; provided, however, that with respect to paper goods and other similar inventory items, Buyer shall be permitted to use any such amounts of materials existing at the Closing until they are depleted.
35
.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of this Section 7.8(a) and Section 7.13, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Purchased Asset would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the Consent of a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (including any Governmental Authority), and such Consent shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery. Following the Closing Date, Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required Consent or any release, substitution or amendment required to novate all Liabilities under any and all Purchased Assets or other Liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that this Section 7.8(a) shall not be deemed to require Sellers or Buyer to pay any material consideration therefor or institute any Action. Once such Consent or any release, substitution or amendment is obtained, the applicable Seller shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Purchased Asset to which such Consent or any release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration.
(b)To the extent that any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability cannot be transferred to or assumed by Buyer following the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.1, Sellers and Buyer shall enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting, or through the TSA) to provide to the Parties the economic and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability to Buyer as of the Closing Date or as reasonably requested by Buyer under which (i) Buyer would receive the rights and benefits of ownership of such Purchased Assets, including the net profits from the operation or subsequent sale of such Purchased Assets, and including the right to manage and control such Purchased Assets and (ii) Sellers and their Affiliates would enforce for the benefit of Buyer against a third party associated with such Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, claim, right or benefit. Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for Sellers, pay, perform and discharge fully the Liabilities of Sellers thereunder from and after the Closing Date, including completing the work or providing the goods and services contemplated thereunder, and bearing all Taxes with respect thereto or arising therefrom. Buyer shall promptly reimburse the reasonable costs and expenses of Sellers and their Affiliates related to compliance with this Section 7.8(b). To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Sellers shall, at Buyer’s sole expense, hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly (but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days) upon receipt thereof, such Purchased Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by Sellers to the extent related to such Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 7.8(b), including all cash received from customers of the EPSi Business.
.
(a)From and after the Closing, if any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates receives or collects any funds relating to any Purchased Asset, such Seller or such
36
Affiliate shall remit such funds to Buyer within twenty (20) Business Days after its receipt thereof.
(b)From and after the Closing, if Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives or collects any funds that are not a Purchased Asset and are otherwise due to Sellers or any of their Affiliates, Buyer or such Affiliate shall remit such funds to Allscripts Healthcare within twenty (20) Business Days after its receipt thereof.
(c)If, at any time after the Closing, any asset held by Buyer or its Affiliates is ultimately determined to be an Excluded Asset or Buyer or any of its Affiliates is found to be subject to a Excluded Liability, then, at Sellers’ expense, (i) Buyer shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to the appropriate Seller or the appropriate Affiliate of Sellers such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability; (ii) the appropriate Seller or its appropriate Affiliate shall assume (without further consideration) such Excluded Liability; and (iii) Sellers and Buyer shall, and shall cause their appropriate Affiliates to, execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability back to the appropriate Seller or its appropriate Affiliate, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date.
(d)If, at any time after the Closing, any asset held by a Seller or its Affiliates is ultimately determined to be a Purchased Asset or a Seller or any of its Affiliates is found to be subject to an Assumed Liability, then, at Buyer’s expense, (i) such Seller shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to Buyer or the appropriate Affiliate such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability; (ii) Buyer or its appropriate Affiliate shall assume (without further consideration) such Assumed Liability; and (iii) Sellers and Buyer shall, and shall cause their appropriate Affiliates to, execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability back to Buyer or its appropriate Affiliate, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date.
.
(a)From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall afford promptly to Allscripts Healthcare and its designees and representatives, reasonable access to the Business Records and the Transferring Employees to the extent necessary for legitimate and reasonable business purposes of Allscripts Healthcare and its Affiliates relating to any Seller Document or related to any period ending on or before the Closing Date (at Allscripts Healthcare’s sole cost and expense); provided that any such access by Allscripts Healthcare shall be during normal business hours on reasonable notice and shall not otherwise unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the EPSi Business by Buyer. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Allscripts Healthcare, Buyer shall not, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the Business Records without first offering to surrender to Allscripts Healthcare such Business Records or any portion thereof which Buyer may intend to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of. Sellers will hold in confidence all Confidential Information obtained from Buyer or any of its Affiliates in accordance with Section 7.5(c).
37
(b)From and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall afford promptly to Buyer and its designees and representatives reasonable access to the books and records (including accountants’ work papers) of Sellers to the extent necessary for legitimate and reasonable business purposes of Buyer and its Affiliates to the extent related to the EPSi Business prior to the Closing Date (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) (the “Retained Records”); provided that any such access by Buyer shall be during normal business hours on reasonable notice and shall not otherwise unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the businesses of Sellers. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Buyer, Sellers shall not, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the Retained Records without first offering to surrender to Buyer such Retained Records or any portion thereof which such Seller may intend to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of. Buyer will not use any Confidential Information obtained from Sellers or any of their Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.10(b) or disclose any of such Confidential Information to any Person, without the prior written consent of Sellers. The obligations of Buyer with respect to such Confidential Information will survive for two (2) years from the date of disclosure of such Confidential Information to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.10(b).
(c)Each Party may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (i) applicable Law requires such Party or any of its Affiliates to restrict or prohibit such access or the provision of such information, (ii) providing such access or information would breach a confidentiality or other obligation to a third party, or (iii) providing such access or disclosure of any such information would reasonably be expected to result in the loss or waiver of the attorney-client or other applicable privilege or protection.
.
(a)Offers of Employment. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to make an offer of employment to each Business Employee listed on Schedule 7.11(a). Such offers of employment shall be effective as of, and contingent upon, the Closing. Each such offer of employment shall be consistent with the requirements of this Section 7.11. Business Employees who accept such offer of employment from Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall collectively be referred to as the “Transferring Employees.” Upon acceptance, such offers of employment for each Transferring Employee will supersede any prior agreements regarding the terms and conditions of employment as in effect prior to the Closing.
(b)Transferring Employee Compensation. Buyer agrees that, for a period of one year following the Closing (or, if earlier, until the date of termination of the relevant employee), each Transferring Employee shall be eligible to receive (i) base compensation (other than incentive compensation, equity or equity-based compensation) that is the same or greater than the base compensation (other than incentive compensation, equity or equity-based compensation) provided to the Transferring Employee immediately prior to the date hereof and (ii) employee benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any employee benefit plans or programs it makes available to the Transferring Employees from and after the Closing Date credit employment with any Seller (or an Affiliate thereof) prior to the Closing Date as employment with Buyer for purposes of
38
eligibility and vesting (including the satisfaction of any waiting periods under any welfare benefit plans maintained by Buyer (the “Buyer Welfare Plans”)) and, for purposes of any paid vacation plan or policy (other than credit for accrued paid time off) it adopts with respect to or makes available to the Transferring Employees, for purposes of accrual of paid vacation after the Closing Date, in each case to the same extent that such employment with any Seller (or an Affiliate thereof) prior to the Closing Date was recognized for such purpose under the corresponding Employee Plan. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that in the plan year in which the Closing occurs, no pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions or waiting periods applicable with respect to medical benefits under the Buyer Welfare Plans will apply to Transferring Employees to the extent that such limitations, exclusions or waiting periods did not apply to or had been satisfied by such Transferring Employee under the corresponding Employee Plan providing medical benefits as of the Closing Date. The Buyer Welfare Plans that are medical benefit plans in which a Transferring Employee participates after the Closing Date will use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, for purposes of satisfying any deductible, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, any payment made by such Transferring Employee in such plan year prior to the Closing Date toward deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums in any corresponding Employee Plan. Each Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates to pay out all accrued but unused vacation with respect to the Transferring Employees as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer’s plan that includes a cash or deferred arrangement pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code shall accept “direct rollovers” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of distributions from the corresponding Employee Plans, including the amount of any unpaid balance of any participant loan made under such Employee Plan, if such rollovers are elected by any Transferring Employee.
(c)No Guaranteed Employment. Nothing in this Section 7.11, whether express or implied, shall: (i) confer upon any Transferring Employee or other Person any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period or any terms or conditions of employment, or any third-party beneficiary rights hereunder; (ii) be interpreted to prevent or restrict Buyer or its Affiliates from modifying or terminating the employment or terms of employment of any Transferring Employee, including the amendment or termination of any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement, after the Closing; or (iii) be treated as an establishment or an amendment or other modification of any Employee Plan or other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement.
. Each Seller shall take (or cause one or more of its Affiliates to take) such action as is necessary, advisable or desirable to settle, effective as of, or prior to, the Closing Date, all intercompany accounts with respect to the EPSi Business. Effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, all Related Party Agreements shall be terminated as of or prior to the Closing Date without any further Liability or obligation thereunder and without Liability to Buyer and shall be of no further force and effect after the Closing.
.
(a)Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Agreement, Allscripts Healthcare shall provide Buyer with a list indicating which of the Business Shared Contracts
39
may be split and assigned in part to Buyer or replicated for the benefit of Buyer pursuant to its terms, without the consent of the counterparty thereto or other conditions, including the payment of a transfer or other fee (the “Assignable Shared Contracts”). Each Assignable Shared Contract shall thereafter be deemed (to the extent of the split or replication with respect to the portion of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract that relates to the EPSi Business) to be an Assigned Contract hereunder and Sellers shall split and partially assign (or cause to be split and partially assigned) to Buyer, or have or cause to be replicated, for the benefit of Buyer as of the Closing Date such Contract in accordance with its terms.
(b)With respect to each Business Shared Contract that is not an Assignable Shared Contract (the “Non-Assignable Shared Contracts”), each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparty to each such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to consent to the split and partial assignment or replication of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to Buyer (with respect to the portion of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract that relates to the EPSi Business), or to otherwise enter into a new Contract with Buyer on substantially the same terms as exist under the applicable Business Shared Contract as of the Closing Date. Each such Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the Parties have received consent to the split and partial assignment or replication shall thereafter be deemed (to the extent of the split or replication with respect to the portion of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract that relates to the EPSi Business) to be an Assigned Contract hereunder and the applicable Seller shall split and partially assign (or cause to be split and partially assigned) to Buyer, or have or cause to be replicated, as of the Closing Date such Contract in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers and their Affiliates shall not be required to split and partially assign to Buyer or have replicated any of the Non-Assignable Shared Contracts for which consent has not been obtained. To the extent any counterparty under a Non-Assignable Shared Contract requires the payment of a transfer or other fee for the split and partial assignment or replication of such Shared Contract, Allscripts Healthcare and Buyer shall each pay one half of any such fee that is reasonably required. With respect to any Non-Assignable Shared Contract, until the earlier of (i) the date that such Non-Assignable Shared Contract becomes an Assigned Contract pursuant to this Section 7.8(b) and (ii) the then-remaining term of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract, (A) Sellers and their Affiliates shall pay to Buyer, on a monthly basis, the amount set forth on Schedule 4.7(d)(ii) with respect to such Non-Assignable Shared Contract with respect to the EPSi Business and (B) Buyer agrees to, or to cause its Affiliates to, perform under such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to the extent related to the EPSi Business and to the extent required to be performed after the Closing, in each case in accordance with its terms. For clarity, the obligation set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be subject to any deductible or cap, notwithstanding the provisions of Article X.
(c)As to any Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the Parties have not received consent, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to avoid any breach or violation by a Party as a result of any failure to obtain any required consent. Until any such consent or new Contract is obtained, such Non-Assignable Shared Contract shall be subject to Section 7.8(b). If and when such consents or approvals are obtained or such other required actions have been taken, the split and partial assignment, or replication, of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract will be effected in accordance with Section 7.13(b).
40
7.14Transfer of Business Intellectual Property
. Prior to the Closing, each Seller shall take (or cause a one of its Subsidiaries to take) all actions necessary to properly record the registered and applied for Business Intellectual Property with the applicable intellectual property office to correct any and all chain-of-title errors and to formally identify the registered and applied for Business Intellectual Property in the name of the correct legal entity owner for such registered or applied for Business Intellectual Property; to the extent such action is not completed prior to the Closing, each Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall nevertheless continue until fully satisfied. Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and filing all instruments and documents necessary to effect the assignment of the Business Intellectual Property to Buyer and its Affiliates.
. With respect to any claim, occurrence or loss that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date and may be covered under Insurance Policies, and Buyer requests, pursuant to written notice, that a Seller or its applicable Affiliate submit a claim under such Insurance Policy, such Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, at Buyer’s expense, submit such claim as so instructed, use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such claim or collect any claim amounts requested thereunder, and cause any proceeds payable under Insurance Policies to cover a Loss that exceeds the applicable insurance deductible to be collected and paid to Buyer or, if applicable, any third-party claimant.
. As promptly as practicable following each calendar month prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall make available to Buyer periodic financial reports in the form that it customarily prepares for its internal purposes concerning the EPSi Business and, if available, unaudited statements of the EPSi Business as of the last day of each calendar month and statements of income of such entity for the period then ended. Sellers covenant that such interim statements (a) will present fairly the financial condition of the EPSi Business and the related results of its operations for the respective periods then ended and (b) will be prepared on a basis consistent with prior interim periods.
7.17No Solicitation of Transactions
. Sellers shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, through any Representative of any of them or otherwise, initiate, solicit or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information or assistance), or enter into negotiations or discussions of any type, directly or indirectly, or enter into a confidentiality Contract, letter of intent or purchase Contract, merger Contract or other similar Contract with any Person other than Buyer with respect to a sale of all or any substantial portion of the EPSi Business, the liquidation or similar extraordinary transaction with respect to the EPSi Business. Each Seller shall notify Buyer orally (within one (1) Business Day) and in writing (as promptly as practicable) of any inquiry or proposal by a third party to do any of the foregoing that any Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives may receive relating to any of such matters.
. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of: (a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (c) any Actions commenced or, to the Knowledge of Sellers or to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the EPSi Business; (d) any circumstance that could reasonably be expected to cause the
41
conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 not to be satisfied; or (e) any failure of such Party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.18 will not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available under this Agreement to Buyer.

(a)the representations and warranties of Buyer and Guarantor set forth in this Agreement will be true and correct (without giving effect to any materiality, in all material respects, or similar qualifications contained therein) as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date, except (i) to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date (which need only be true and correct as of such earlier date), and (ii) where the failure to be so true and correct has not had and would not be likely to result in a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;
(b)each of the agreements and covenants of Buyer and Guarantor to be performed and complied with by Buyer or Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement prior to or as of the Closing Date shall have been duly performed and complied with in all material respects (it being understood that failure to pay any amounts payable by or on behalf of Buyer or Guarantor pursuant to, and in accordance with, Article II and/or Article III shall be deemed to be material); and

8.4Frustration of Closing Conditions
.

. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:
(a)by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Allscripts Healthcare;
(b)by Buyer or Allscripts Healthcare, upon written notice to the other Party, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to April 30, 2021 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) is not available to any Party whose breach of its obligations, covenants, representations, or warranties under this Agreement has been the principal cause of the failure of the Closing by such time;

(d)by Buyer, by giving written notice to Allscripts Healthcare in the event any Seller is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach (i) would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) not to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date and (ii) if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days following delivery by Buyer to Allscripts Healthcare of written notice of such breach; or
(e)by Allscripts Healthcare, by giving written notice to Buyer in the event Buyer is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) not to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date and (ii) if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days following delivery by Allscripts Healthcare to Buyer of written notice of such breach.

(c)Any amounts payable under this Section 10.2 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Date Consideration for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law.
. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, except for Fraud, actions seeking specific performance or similar equitable relief pursuant
46
to Section 12.14 and disputes under Section 2.3 (which disputes will be resolved in accordance with the dispute mechanism set forth in Section 2.3(b)), its sole and exclusive remedy (and the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees) with respect to any and all rights, claims, proceedings and causes of action it may have against any other party (including any Affiliate of the Seller Indemnifying Parties or Buyer) resulting from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Seller Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether arising under or based upon any Law (including Environmental Law) or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity (including strict liability and tort), to seek indemnification, contribution, rescission, cost recovery, damages (including Losses), or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) (each, a “Transaction Matter”), shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party (in the case of Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitees, and in the case of Sellers, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Seller Indemnitees) hereby (a) covenants and agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, assert or otherwise bring, commence or institute, or cause to be brought, commenced or instituted, any Transaction Matter, other than a contract action to recover Losses pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X or an action seeking specific performance or similar equitable relief pursuant to Section 12.14, and (y) waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all Transaction Matters other than a contract action to recover Losses pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X or an action seeking specific performance or similar equitable relief pursuant to Section 12.14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Article X (and solely for purposes of this Article X) “Buyer Documents” and “Seller Documents” shall not include the Restrictive Covenant Agreements and the TSA, and the indemnification obligations of the Parties with respect to the Restrictive Covenant Agreements and the TSA shall be set forth therein.
. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnification rights and obligations provided for in Section 10.2 are subject to the following limitations:
(a)Certain Limitations. In no event shall the Seller Indemnifying Parties’ maximum aggregate liability with respect to Losses arising from Section 10.2(b)(i) with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Reps, Section 4.6, Section 4.7(b), Section 4.7(d) and Section 10.2(b)(iii) exceed one hundred percent (100.00%) of the Closing Date Consideration.
(b)Other Recovery. If any Losses sustained by an Indemnitee are covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnitee), the Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments. The amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under Section 10.2 shall be reduced by the amounts actually recovered by any Indemnitee, as applicable, under applicable insurance policies or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnitee) with respect to claims related to such Losses (net of any unrecovered amounts, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the recovery or receipt of such insurance proceeds, including any increases in insurance premiums or retroactive premiums resulting therefrom), and if any Indemnitee receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments after the settlement of any indemnification claim
47
under Section 10.2, as applicable, such Indemnitee shall refund to the Indemnitor that made such indemnification payment the amount of such insurance proceeds (net of any unrecovered amounts, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the recovery or receipt of such insurance proceeds, including any increases in insurance premiums or retroactive premiums resulting therefrom) or indemnity, contribution or similar payments, up to the amount received in connection with such indemnification claim. It is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or third party shall be entitled to any benefit or right it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of this paragraph.
(c)Damage Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or provided for under any applicable Law, no Party shall be liable to any other Person for, either in contract or in tort, and Losses shall not include, any speculative or punitive damages (other than any such damages payable to a third Person).
(d)Double Recovery. No Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one Loss or related group of Losses, including to the extent that any Buyer Indemnitee has been compensated therefor pursuant to Section 2.3 or otherwise.
(e)Mitigation. Each Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts (determined without regard to any indemnification rights of such Person hereunder (i.e., as if such Person had no such rights hereunder)) to mitigate any Loss for which such Indemnitee seeks indemnification, in each case solely to the extent required by Law. Each Indemnitee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any and all rights or benefits (including rights to be indemnified and held harmless or rights to be reimbursed for, or to share, certain costs, or expenses) with respect to any matter that is indemnifiable pursuant to Section 10.2, in each case solely to the extent required by Law.
10.5Notice and Determination of Claims
. If any Indemnitee believes that it has sustained or incurred any Losses that are indemnifiable under this Article X (a “Claim”), such Indemnitee shall so notify the Indemnitor promptly in writing specifying the basis hereunder upon which the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification is asserted and the facts and circumstances concerning such Claim, describing such Losses, the amount thereof, or a good faith estimate of the amount, and the method of computation of such Losses, all with reasonable particularity, in each case to the extent known (the “Claim Notice”). After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnitee shall be entitled under this Article X shall be determined: (a) by the written agreement between the Parties; (b) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) by any other means to which the Parties shall agree in writing. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnitee shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses suffered by such Indemnitee. A failure by an Indemnitee to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 10.5 or in Section 10.6 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Party except and only to the extent that the Party entitled to receive such notice was materially damaged or prejudiced as a result of such failure to give timely notice vis-à-vis its rights and obligations hereunder or otherwise.
48
.
(a)Promptly following the receipt of notice of a Claim by a third party against a Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (a “Third Party Claim”), the Party receiving the notice of the Third Party Claim shall provide the other Parties with a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim. Subject to receiving a confidentiality undertaking from the Indemnitor and any redactions that the Indemnitee determines are advisable for purposes of maintaining privilege, such Claim Notice shall be accompanied by copies of all documents and information relevant to the Third Party Claim and in the Indemnitee’s possession.
(b)Subject to Section 10.6(c) and Section 10.6(d), the Indemnitor shall have the option to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise and settlement of any Third Party Claim as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnitee from any Indemnitor hereunder. The Indemnitor shall notify the Indemnitee in writing, as promptly as possible (but in any case before the earlier of (i) the due date for the answer or response to the Third Party Claim and (ii) thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of Third Party Claim given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor under Section 10.6(a) of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim). The Indemnitee may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Should an Indemnitor assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10.6, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation or defense thereof; provided that in the event such Third Party Claim is decided adversely to the Indemnitee resulting in Losses for which the Indemnitor is required to indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnitor shall pay any such legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee prior to the date the Indemnitor assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnitor not elect to conduct and control the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.6(b) to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnitor be entitled to conduct and control the defense, compromise and settlement of any Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim seeks, as its primary claim, an injunction, other equitable relief or any other non-monetary relief against the Indemnitee, (ii) in the event such claim were to be decided adversely to the Indemnitee, the aggregate amount of Losses associated therewith, together with all other outstanding Claims would reasonably be expected to exceed the aggregate liability limitations set forth in Section 10.2(b)(z) or Section 10.4(a), in each case, by two hundred percent (200%), or (iii) such claim primarily relates to or arises out of any allegedly criminal activity, (iv) the Indemnitor fails to acknowledges in writing to the Indemnitee that any and all Losses that may be assessed against the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Claim constitute Losses for which the Indemnitee shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, be indemnified fully pursuant to this Article X, or (v) if the Indemnitee is a Buyer Indemnitee and the Third Party Claim is made by a customer or supplier of the EPSi Business.
49
(d)Any Party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim with reasonable diligence and shall keep the other Parties reasonably informed of the status thereof. Whether or not the Indemnitor or Indemnitee shall control the defense of a Third Party Claim, neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee shall consent to the entry of any judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee or Indemnitor, as applicable (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate in connection with any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.6 and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.6 to the contrary, the Indemnitee shall not be required to take any action hereunder that would adversely affect, or require or constitute a waiver of, any attorney-client or other privilege.
11.1Allocation of Liability for Taxes
. In the case of any Taxes that are attributable to a Straddle Period, the Parties shall use the following conventions for determining the portion of such Tax that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion that relates to a Post-Closing Tax Period: (a) in the case of real property or personal property Taxes and other similar Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period commencing before the Closing Date and ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period, and the remaining amount of such Taxes shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period; and (b) in the case of all other Taxes, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as if a separate return was filed for the period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology,” and the remaining amount of the Taxes for such period shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (b), exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period.
. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate (i) in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return relating to the EPSi Business, the Purchased Assets, or the Transferring Employees; (ii) in any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns relating to the EPSi Business, the Purchased Assets, or the Transferring Employees. Such cooperation shall include making available any relevant information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns relating to the EPSi Business, the Purchased Assets, or the Transferring Employees. Buyer and Sellers also agree to provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.
. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”)
50
incurred in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer under this Agreement shall be borne by Buyer, and Buyer shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and fees, provided that Sellers shall join in the execution of such Tax Returns or other documentation to the extent required by applicable Law. Buyer shall promptly pay when due all such required amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority.
.
(a)Within sixty (60) days of the final determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, Buyer shall provide to Sellers a schedule allocating the purchase price (including the Assumed Liabilities) among the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”).
(b)If within thirty (30) days of receiving the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Sellers have not objected, the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding. If within thirty (30) days, Sellers object to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to resolve their differences. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to resolve any disputed items, then each Party may allocate the purchase price (including the Assumed Liabilities) among the Purchased Assets as such Party believes is appropriate.
(c)The Parties hereto shall make appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule to reflect changes in the purchase price. The Parties hereto agree for all Tax reporting purposes to report the transactions in accordance with the agreements herein and the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, as adjusted pursuant to the preceding sentence, (if agreed to by the Parties) and to not take any position during the course of any audit or other proceeding inconsistent with the agreements as to Tax treatment herein or with such schedule unless required by a determination of the applicable Governmental Authority that is final.
. Buyer and Sellers hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer hereunder, it being understood and agreed that any Liabilities arising out of any failure to comply with the requirements and provisions of any such bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities.

12.11Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or of any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court sitting in the state of Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the Parties hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the state of Delaware for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, Buyer and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

. The Schedules have been arranged, for purposes of convenience only, as separately-titled Schedules corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Schedules or in this Agreement or the omission of any cross reference thereto, the information and disclosures contained in any Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Schedule as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in any Schedule: (a) shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement; (b) shall not be construed as or constitute an admission, evidence or agreement that a violation, right of termination, default, non-compliance, Liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to any item; (c) with respect to the enforceability of Contracts with third parties, the existence or non-existence of third party rights, the absence of breaches or defaults by third parties, or similar matters or statements, is intended only to allocate rights and risks among the Parties and is not intended to be admissions against interests, give rise to any inference or proof of accuracy, be admissible against any Party by any Person who is not a Party, or give rise to any claim or benefit to any entity or person who is not a Party; (d) shall not be deemed or interpreted to broaden or to narrow the representations and warranties, obligations, covenants, conditions or agreements of Sellers contained in this Agreement; and (e) does not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with such item or information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed herein. Unless the context otherwise requires (for example, a Schedule corresponds to a representation and warranty that requires disclosure of information that is “material” or that would reasonably be expected to constitute a “Material Adverse Effect”), such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement. Neither the specifications of any dollar amount in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Seller Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.
