AGREEMENT AND PLAN
OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION ("Agreement") is
made and entered into as of September 17, 1999, by and among: XXXXXXXXXX.XXX,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("Netivation"), XXXXXXXXXX.XXX MERGER TWO CORP., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Netivation ("Merger Sub"),
MEDMarket, INC., a Colorado corporation ("MEDMarket"), and the stockholders of
MEDMarket set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the "Selling Stockholders"). Certain
capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit B.
RECITALS
A. The parties intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub into MEDMarket
in accordance with this Agreement and the Delaware General Corporation Law
("Delaware Law") and the Colorado General Corporation Law ("Colorado Law") (the
"Merger"). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and
MEDMarket will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Netivation.
B. The Selling Stockholders own an aggregate of 100,000 shares of
capital stock of MEDMarket (the "MEDMarket Stock"), constituting 100% of the
MEDMarket capital stock on a fully-diluted basis.
AGREEMENT
The parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
SECTION 1 - DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
1.1 Merger of Merger Sub into MEDMarket . Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in
Section 1.3), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into MEDMarket, and the
separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. MEDMarket will continue as the
surviving corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation").
1.2 Effect of the Merger . The Merger shall have the effects set forth
in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and Colorado
Law.
1.3 Closing; Effective Time . The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices
of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Rock & Fields, Chartered, 000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,
00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 on or before September 24, 1999 or at such other
time as the parties may agree (the "Scheduled Closing Time"). (The date on which
the Closing actually takes place is referred to in this Agreement as the
"Closing Date.") Contemporaneously with or as promptly as practicable after the
Closing, a properly executed certificate of merger (the "Certificate of
Merger"), conforming to the requirements of Delaware Law and Colorado Law, shall
be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the State of
Colorado. The Merger shall become effective at the time such Certificate of
Merger is filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware and the State of Colorado (the "Effective Time").
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Directors and Officers .
(a) The certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in
effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the
certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until
thereafter amended as provided by law; provided, however, that Article
I of the Certificate of Incorporation shall be amended to read as
follows: "The name of this corporation is MEDMarket, Inc."
(b) The bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior
to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation
until thereafter amended.
(c) The directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation
immediately after the Effective Time shall be the individuals
identified on Exhibit C.
1.5 Conversion of MEDMarket Stock .
(a) Subject to Sections 1.8(c) and 1.9, at the Effective Time,
by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of
Netivation, Merger Sub, MEDMarket or any stockholder of MEDMarket: (i)
each share of Common Stock of MEDMarket issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the
right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock of Netivation (the
"Netivation Stock"). All outstanding shares of MEDMarket capital stock
shall be exchanged for no more than One Hundred Thousand (100,000)
shares of Netivation Stock. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into one (1) share of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation. The Merger Consideration to be received by the Selling
Stockholders is set forth on Exhibit D. If, between the date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date, the shares of capital stock of
MEDMarket or the Netivation Stock are changed into a different number
or class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination or similar
transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.
(b) If any shares of capital stock of MEDMarket outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to
a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any
applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with
MEDMarket, then the shares of Netivation Stock issued in exchange for
such shares of capital stock of MEDMarket will also be unvested and
subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other
condition, and the certificates representing such shares of Netivation
Stock may be accordingly marked with appropriate legends.
1.6 Additional Consideration .
(a) At Closing, Netivation shall pay to the Selling Stockholders the
sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to be allocated among them as
provided in Exhibit D.
(b) At Closing, Netivation shall repay the corporate debt and payables
in the aggregate principal amount of not more than Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars
($75,000) owed by MEDMarket to the Region 9 Economic Development District, Xxxxx
National Bank, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Gemini Investments, and others.
1.7 Closing of MEDMarket's Transfer Books . At the Effective Time,
holders of certificates representing MEDMarket Stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as
stockholders of MEDMarket, and the stock transfer books of MEDMarket shall be
closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such capital stock of
MEDMarket shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time.
If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any of
such capital stock of MEDMarket (a "MEDMarket Stock Certificate") is presented
to the Surviving Corporation or Netivation, such MEDMarket Stock Certificate
shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.8.
1.8 Exchange of Certificates .
(a) At or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time,
Netivation will send to each holder of a MEDMarket Stock Certificate a
letter of transmittal and instructions for use in customary form and
containing such provisions as may reasonably be required for use in
effecting the surrender of such MEDMarket Stock Certificate for payment
therefor and conversion thereof. Upon surrender of a MEDMarket Stock
Certificate to Netivation for exchange, together with a duly executed
letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably
required by Netivation, the holder of such MEDMarket Stock Certificate
shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor certificates
representing the number of whole shares of Netivation Stock that such
holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 1 and the MEDMarket Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be
canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8, each
MEDMarket Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the
Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such
surrender a certificate representing shares of Netivation Stock (and
cash in lieu of any fractional share of Netivation Stock) as
contemplated by this Section 1. If any MEDMarket Stock Certificate
shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Netivation may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any
certificates representing Netivation Stock, require the owner of such
lost, stolen or destroyed MEDMarket Stock Certificate to provide an
appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Netivation
may reasonably direct) as indemnity.
(b) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with
respect to Netivation Stock with a record date after the Effective Time
shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered MEDMarket Stock
Certificate with respect to the shares of Netivation Stock represented
thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of any fractional share shall be
paid to any such holder, until such holder surrenders such MEDMarket
Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.8 (at which time
such holder shall be entitled to receive all such dividends and
distributions and such cash payment).
(c) No fractional shares of Netivation Stock shall be issued
in connection with the Merger. In lieu of such fractional shares, any
holder of capital stock of MEDMarket who would otherwise be entitled to
receive a fraction of a share of Netivation Stock shall, upon surrender
of such holder's MEDMarket Stock Certificate(s), be paid in cash the
dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest,
determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of one
share of Netivation Stock as reported by the NASDAQ consolidated
reporting system on the Closing Date.
(d) Each certificate representing any of the shares of
Netivation Stock to be issued in the Merger shall bear a legend
identical or similar in effect to the following legend (together with
any other legend or legends required by applicable state securities
laws or otherwise):
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
"ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE
ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE ACT IS AVAILABLE."
(e) Netivation and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled
to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise
deliverable to any holder or former holder of capital stock of
MEDMarket pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Netivation or the
Surviving Corporation may be required to deduct or withhold therefrom
under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax
law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such
amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as
having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise
have been paid.
1.9 Dissenting Shares . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, shares of capital stock of MEDMarket that are issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by
stockholders who have not voted such shares in favor of the Merger and who have
delivered a written demand for appraisal of such shares in the manner provided
under Colorado Law ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be canceled and converted in
accordance with Section 1.5 unless and until such holder shall have failed to
perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such holder's right to
appraisal and payment under Colorado Law. If such holder shall have so failed to
perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder's
capital
stock of MEDMarket shall thereupon be deemed to have been canceled and converted
as described in Section 1.5 at the Effective Time, and each such share shall
represent solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration described in
Section 1.5. MEDMarket shall give prompt notice of any demands received by
MEDMarket for appraisal of its shares, and, prior to the Effective Time,
Netivation shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, MEDMarket
shall not, except with the prior written consent of Netivation, make any payment
with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. From and after
the Effective Time, no stockholder of MEDMarket who has demanded appraisal
rights as provided under Colorado Law shall be entitled to vote such holder's
shares of Netivation Stock or capital stock of MEDMarket for any purpose or to
receive payment of dividends or other distributions with respect to such
holder's shares (except dividends and other distributions payable to
stockholders of record of MEDMarket at a date which is prior to the Effective
Time).
1.10 Tax Consequences . For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is
intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the
Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a "plan of
reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the
United States Treasury Regulations.
1.11 Accounting Treatment . For accounting purposes, the Merger is
intended to be treated as a "purchase."
1.12 Further Action . If, at any time after the Effective Time, any
further action is determined by Netivation to be necessary or desirable to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or
Netivation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and
property of MEDMarket, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation
and Netivation shall be fully authorized (in the name of MEDMarket and
otherwise) to take such action.
SECTION 2 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MEDMarket AND
THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
MEDMarket and each of the Selling Stockholders jointly and severally
represent and warrant, to and for the benefit of the Netivation Indemnitees, as
follows:
2.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification . MEDMarket is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Colorado. MEDMarket has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver
the Transactional Agreements, to carry out the provisions of the Transactional
Agreements and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently
proposed to be conducted. MEDMarket is duly qualified and is authorized to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions
(other than Illinois) in which the nature of its activities and of its
properties (both owned and leased) make such qualifications necessary, except
for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on MEDMarket or its business. MEDMarket has made available to
Netivation true, correct and complete copies of MEDMarket's certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, each as amended to date.
2.2 Subsidiaries . MEDMarket owns no equity securities of any other
corporation, limited partnership or similar entity. MEDMarket is not a
participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.
2.3 Capitalization; Voting Rights . The authorized capital stock of
MEDMarket consists of 100,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 100,000 shares
are issued and outstanding. Exhibit A sets forth the names of the stockholders
of MEDMarket and the number of shares of capital stock owned of record by each
such stockholder. The Selling Stockholders together own all of the outstanding
shares of capitol stock of MEDMarket. All issued and outstanding shares of
MEDMarket's Common Stock (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued, (ii)
are fully paid and nonassessable and (iii) were issued in compliance with all
applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities. There
are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive
rights and rights of first refusal), proxy or stockholder agreements, or
agreements of any kind for the purchase or acquisition from MEDMarket of any of
its securities.
2.4 Authorization; Binding Obligations . MEDMarket has the absolute and
unrestricted right, power and authority to enter into and to perform its
obligations under the Transactional Agreements to which MEDMarket is or may
become a party. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of MEDMarket, enforceable against MEDMarket in accordance with its
terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency and the relief of debtors and (ii) rules of law governing specific
performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Upon the execution
of each of the other Transactional Agreements at the Closing, each of such other
Transactional Agreements will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation
of MEDMarket, enforceable against MEDMarket in accordance with its terms,
subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency
and the relief of debtors and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance,
injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
2.5 Financial Statements . MEDMarket has delivered to Netivation (i)
its unaudited balance sheet and profit and loss statement as of December 31,
1996, 1997, and 1998 and (ii) its unaudited balance sheet and profit and loss
statement as of September 14, 1999 (the "Statement Date") (collectively, the
"MEDMarket Financial Statements"). The MEDMarket Financial Statements are
complete and correct in all material respects, and present fairly the financial
condition and position of MEDMarket for the periods covered thereby.
2.6 Liabilities . Except as set forth in Schedule 2.6, MEDMarket has no
material liabilities and, to the knowledge of MEDMarket, has no material
contingent liabilities not otherwise disclosed in the MEDMarket Financial
Statements, except current liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of
Business subsequent to the Statement Date which have not been, either in any
individual case or in the aggregate, materially adverse. All obligations of
MEDMarket to affiliates, officers, directors and stockholders of MEDMarket are
disclosed on the MEDMarket Financial Statements.
2.7 Agreements; Action .
(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 2.7, there are no
agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed
transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which MEDMarket is
a party or to its knowledge by which it is bound which may involve (i)
obligations (contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to, MEDMarket in
excess of $10,000, or (ii) the license of any patent, copyright, trade
secret or other proprietary right to or from MEDMarket (other than
licenses arising from the purchase of "off the shelf" or other standard
products), or (iii) provisions restricting or affecting the
development, manufacture or distribution of MEDMarket's products or
services or (iv) indemnification by MEDMarket with respect to
infringements of proprietary rights.
(b) MEDMarket has not (i) incurred any indebtedness for money
borrowed or any other liabilities (other than with respect to dividend
obligations, distributions, indebtedness and other obligations incurred
in the Ordinary Course of Business or as disclosed in the MEDMarket
Financial Statements) individually in excess of $10,000 or, in excess
of $10,000 in the aggregate, (ii) made any loans or advances to any
person, other than ordinary advances for travel expenses or (iii) sold,
exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights, other
than the sale of its inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business.
(c) For the purposes of subsections (a) and (b) above, all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments,
contracts and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity
(including persons or entities MEDMarket has reason to believe are
affiliated therewith) shall be aggregated for the purpose of meeting
the individual minimum dollar amounts of such subsections.
2.8 Obligations to Related Parties . Except as set forth in Schedule
2.8, there are no obligations of MEDMarket to officers, directors, stockholders,
or employees of MEDMarket other than (a) for payment of salary for services
rendered, (b) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of
MEDMarket and (c) for other standard employee benefits made generally available
to all employees. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.8, no such officer, director
or stockholder, or any member of their immediate families is, directly or
indirectly, interested in any material contract with MEDMarket (other than such
contracts as relate to any such person's ownership of capital stock or other
securities of MEDMarket). MEDMarket is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any
indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.
2.9 Absence of Changes . Except as set forth in Schedule 2.9, since the
Statement Date, there has not been:
(a) Any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition
or operations of MEDMarket from that reflected in the MEDMarket
Financial Statements, other than changes in the Ordinary Course of
Business, none of which individually or in the aggregate has had or is
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such assets, liabilities,
financial condition or operations of MEDMarket;
(b) Any resignation or termination of any key officers of
MEDMarket; and MEDMarket, to its knowledge, does not know of the
impending resignation or termination of employment of any such officer;
(c) Any material change, except in the Ordinary Course of
Business, in the contingent obligations of MEDMarket by way of
guaranty, endorsement, indemnity, warranty or otherwise;
(d) Any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by
insurance, materially and adversely affecting the properties, business
or prospects or financial condition of MEDMarket;
(e) Any waiver by MEDMarket of a valuable right or of a
material debt owed to it;
(f) Any direct or indirect loans made by MEDMarket to any
stockholder, employee, officer or director of MEDMarket, other than
advances made in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(g) Any material change in any compensation arrangement or
agreement with any employee, officer, director or stockholder;
(h) Any declaration or payment of any dividend or other
distribution of the assets of MEDMarket;
(i) Any labor organization activity;
(j) Any debt, obligation or liability incurred, assumed or
guaranteed by MEDMarket, except those for immaterial amounts and for
current liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(k) Any sale, assignment or transfer of any patents,
trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intangible assets;
(l) Any change in any material agreement to which MEDMarket is
a party or by which it is bound which materially and adversely affects
the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or
prospects of MEDMarket; or
(m) Any other event or condition of any character that, either
individually or cumulatively, has materially and adversely affected the
business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or
prospects of MEDMarket. For purposes of this subsection (m), a material
and adverse effect shall only be deemed to occur if its monetary impact
exceeds, or with the passage of time, will exceed $10,000.
2.10 Title to Properties and Assets; Liens, Etc. MEDMarket has good and
marketable title to its properties and assets (including, but not limited to the
web sites located at xxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx; xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx;
xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx; and xx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx), and good title to its leasehold
estates, in each case subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, lease, encumbrance
or charge, other than (i) those resulting from taxes which have not yet become
due and payable, (ii) minor liens and encumbrances which do not materially
detract from the value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the
operations of MEDMarket and (iii) those that have arisen from purchase money
security interests in an amount not to exceed $10,000. All facilities,
machinery, equipment, fixtures, vehicles and other properties owned, leased or
used by MEDMarket are in good operating condition and repair and are reasonably
fit and usable for the purposes for which they are being used.
Except as set forth in Schedule 2.10 MEDMarket is in compliance with all
material terms of each lease to which it is a party or is otherwise bound.
2.11 Patents and Trademarks . MEDMarket owns or possesses sufficient
legal rights to all trademarks (including, but not limited to the marks
MEDMARKET and XXXXXXXXX.XXX), service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade
secrets and licenses, and, to the knowledge of MEDMarket, to all patents,
information and other proprietary rights and processes necessary for its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, without any known
infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses
or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is MEDMarket bound by
or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to
the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets,
licenses, information and other proprietary rights and processes of any other
person or entity other than such licenses or agreements arising from the
purchase of "off the shelf" or standard products. MEDMarket has not received any
communications alleging that MEDMarket has violated or, by conducting its
business as proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of
any other person or entity. To MEDMarket's knowledge, none of MEDMarket's
employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or
commitments or any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with
their duties to MEDMarket's business by the employees of MEDMarket. The conduct
of MEDMarket's business as proposed, will not, to the knowledge of MEDMarket,
conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which
any employee is now obligated. MEDMarket does not believe it is or will be
necessary to utilize any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information of
any of its employees made prior to their employment by MEDMarket, except for
inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information that have been assigned to
MEDMarket.
2.12 Compliance with Other Instruments . MEDMarket is not in violation
or default of any term of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or of any
provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument or
contract to which it is party or by which it is bound or of any judgment,
decree, order, writ or, to its knowledge, any statute, rule or regulation
applicable to MEDMarket which would materially and adversely affect the
business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or prospects of
MEDMarket. The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with the
Transactional Agreements will not, with or without the passage of time or giving
of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or
constitute a default under any such term, or result in the creation of any
mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9, the Selling
Stockholders, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless
each of the Netivation Indemnitees from and against the amount of any
Damages incurred by any of the Netivation Indemnitees directly or
indirectly as a result of (i) any Breach of a representation or
warranty of MEDMarket or any of the Selling Stockholders contained in
Section 2 hereof or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this
Agreement (each as modified by the Schedule of Exceptions delivered by
MEDMarket and the Selling Stockholders on the date of this Agreement
and not as modified by any revisions to such Schedule of Exceptions
after such date), (ii) any Breach of any covenant or obligation
contained herein , (iii) any final determination of MEDMarket's net tax
liability for the fiscal year immediately prior to the Closing or (iv)
any Breach of any representation or warranty made in the Selling

(b) The Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that, if
there is any Breach of any representation or warranty or other
provision relating to MEDMarket or MEDMarket's business, condition,
assets, Liabilities, operations, financial performance or net income
(or any aspect or portion thereof), then Netivation itself shall be
deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the capital stock of MEDMarket,
to have incurred Damages as result of such Breach or Liability.
9.3 Contribution . Each Selling Stockholder waives and acknowledges and
agrees that such Selling Stockholder shall not have and shall not exercise or
assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of
indemnity or other similar right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in

such Selling Stockholder may become subject under the Transactional Agreements
or otherwise in connection with any of the Transactions.

Date, multiplied by 100,000. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not apply
to claims for willful misconduct, fraud, bad faith or recklessness on the part
of MEDMarket or any Selling Stockholder; provided that each Selling Stockholder
shall be liable only up to the pro rata portion of such amount pertaining to

Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9 with respect to any Damages shall also be
required to pay such Netivation Indemnitee interest on the amount of such
Damages (for the period commencing as of the date on which such Netivation
Indemnitee first incurred or otherwise became subject to such Damages and ending
on the date on which the applicable indemnification payment is made by such
party) at a floating rate equal to three (3) percentage points above the rate of
interest publicly announced by Bank of America, N.T. & S.A. from time to time as
its prime, base or reference rate. (For purposes of this Section 9.5, a
Netivation Indemnitee that suffers Damages by virtue of being required to pay
any judgment or to make any settlement payment to any third party with respect
to any third party claim against such Netivation Indemnitee shall be deemed to
have first become subject to such Damages at the time such Netivation Indemnitee
pays such judgment or makes such settlement payment.)
9.6 Defense of Third Party Claims . In the event of the assertion or
commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding (whether against
MEDMarket, against any other Netivation Indemnitee or any other Person) with
respect to which any of the Selling Stockholders may become obligated to
indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse any Netivation Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 9, Netivation shall have the right, at its election, to
proceed with the defense of such claim or Proceeding on its own. If Netivation

Proceeding (whether or not incurred by Netivation) shall be borne and
paid exclusively by the Selling Stockholders;
(b) the Selling Stockholders shall make available to

developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding.
9.7 Setoff . In addition to any rights of setoff or other rights that
any of the Netivation Indemnitees may have at common law or otherwise,
Netivation shall have the right to set off any amount that may be owed to any
Netivation Indemnitee under this Section 9 against any amount otherwise payable
by any Indemnitee to the Agent or any of the Selling Stockholders.
9.8 Indemnity Reserve . In order to secure Netivation's and each
Netivation Indemnitee's rights of indemnity, the Selling Stockholders shall
place 25,000 shares of Netivation Stock in escrow in accordance with the terms
of the Escrow Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

Netivation . No Netivation Indemnitee (other than Netivation or any successor
thereto or assignee thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification
claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Netivation (or
any successor thereto or assignee thereof) shall have consented to the assertion
of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.
