The interests of the Effective Time Company Holders in the Escrow Accounts shall not be assignable or transferable, whether directly, indirectly or by operation of law, except in the event of death to an Effective Time Company Holder’s estate, personal representative or heirs by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that as a condition to any such transfer the transferee(s) shall hold such interests subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Holdback Escrow Agreement and the transferee(s) shall execute and deliver to Eclipsys and the Escrow Agent an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Eclipsys agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Holdback Escrow Agreement.
(c) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation, shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Effective Time Company Holder whose Company Capital Stock was converted with the right to receive the consideration described in Section 2.7: (i) a letter of transmittal in form acceptable to Eclipsys; and (ii) instructions for surrendering certificates that represented Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Certificates”) and any instruments representing Company Options or Company Warrants (“Instruments”), in exchange for payment therefor (other than holders of Certificates representing Dissenting Shares). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Eclipsys, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and delivered, the holder of such Certificate shall become entitled to receive in exchange therefor (as promptly as practicable thereafter), the consideration specified in Section 2.7(c). Upon surrender, such Certificate will be cancelled. Upon receipt of a duly executed and delivered letter of transmittal by Eclipsys and any associated Instrument, the holder of Company Options or Company Warrants will become entitled to receive (as promptly as practicable thereafter) consideration therefor in accordance with Section 2.7(d) or Section 2.7(e), as applicable. No portion of any Merger Consideration will be paid to the holder of any Shares, Company Options or Company Warrants until a letter of transmittal has been validly executed and delivered pursuant hereto, with all Certificates and related Instruments. Payment pursuant to this Section 2.9(c) will be made ratably by the Paying Agent from the Closing Payment, provided that if at the time of any payment hereunder, the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt shall have been determined pursuant to Section 2.10(d), such payment hereunder shall be based on any adjusted amounts pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.10(d). If payment in respect of any Certificate or Instrument is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Certificate or Instrument is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate or Instrument so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that the signatures on such Certificate or Instrument or any related stock power shall be properly guaranteed and that the Person requesting such payment shall have established to the satisfaction of Eclipsys and the Paying Agent that any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Instrument have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9, any Certificate (other than Certificates representing Shares described in Section 2.7(a) and any Dissenting Shares) or Instrument shall be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive (upon execution and delivery as described herein) the portion of the Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto, including cash, without interest, as contemplated herein.
22
(d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of MediNotes shall be closed and there shall thereafter be no further registration of transfers of any Shares, Company Options or Company Warrants, or any conversion or exercise thereof. If, after the Effective Time, a Certificate or Instrument (other than a Certificate representing Shares described in Section 2.7(a)) is presented to the Surviving Corporation, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.9 (subject to Section 2.8 with regard to Dissenting Shares).
(e) All Merger Consideration paid upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II and all Merger Consideration deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(b), in each case, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.10, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Shares represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law.
(f) If any Certificate (other than a Certificate representing Dissenting Shares) or Instrument shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate or Instrument the relevant portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9(c) for the Shares, Company Options or Company Warrants represented thereby; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent may, in their discretion, require the delivery of a satisfactory indemnity.
(g) Promptly following the date that is 180 days after the Effective Time, Eclipsys shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds and other property (including any interest or other income received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Paying Agent and that have not been disbursed to Effective Time Company Holders, and any Certificates, Instruments or other documents relating to the Merger in its possession, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Eclipsys only as general creditors thereof with respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Instruments, without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, none of the Paying Agent, Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Instrument for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirements.
(h) The amount of the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Shares, the Company Warrants and the Company Options and any other applicable numbers or amounts, shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Company Capital Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

2.10 Calculation of Net Working Capital, Closing Payment and Final Adjustments.
(a)(i) The Current Assets, the Current Liabilities, the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Debt, the Estimated Closing Date Debt, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Estimated Closing Date Cash shall be calculated, as applicable (A) consistent with the hypothetical calculations set forth in Schedule 2.10; (B) consistent with the practices and policies of MediNotes used in preparing the Financial Statements; and (C) with all normal and recurring accounting entries reflected therein and all errors and omissions corrected.
(ii) Each line item component or subcomponent of the Current Assets, Current Liabilities, the Final Closing Date Debt, the Estimated Closing Date Debt, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Estimated Closing Date Cash shall be calculated in conformity with GAAP.
(iii) For purposes of calculating the Current Assets, the Current Liabilities, the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Debt and the Estimated Closing Date Debt, such calculation shall not take into account (A) the impact of any purchase accounting adjustments relating to Eclipsys’s acquisition of MediNotes, including any write-up or write-down of assets or liabilities resulting from such purchase accounting, or (B) any Seller Transaction Expenses unpaid as of the Closing Date, provided such expenses are (y) less than or equal to the Stockholder Fund Amount available for payment thereof and (z) paid on or before the date that is 59 days after the Closing Date.
(iv) At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, MediNotes shall provide Eclipsys with its good faith estimate of the Seller Transaction Expenses that will not be paid on or before the Closing Date. The Stockholders’ Representative shall give prompt written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay any of the Seller Transaction Expenses not paid on or before the Closing Date out of the Stockholder Fund Amount within 59 days after the Closing Date. If the Seller Transaction Expenses exceed the amount in the Stockholder Fund Amount, the portion, if any, of such excess paid by Eclipsys to the creditors thereof shall be reimbursed to Eclipsys by the Stockholders in their Pro Rata Portion, in cash, or, at Eclipsys’s option, paid to Eclipsys from the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount.
(b) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, MediNotes shall deliver to Eclipsys its good faith calculations of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Date Cash and the Estimated Closing Date Debt. Within two Business Days after receipt of such calculations, Eclipsys shall provide MediNotes with Eclipsys’s written comments thereto, and MediNotes shall in good faith consider any such comments. Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, Estimated Closing Date Cash and Estimated Closing Date Debt shall be as agreed by the parties, provided that if they do not agree, then such amounts shall be as calculated by MediNotes, provided further that if the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds $42,000,000, then if Eclipsys so elects, the Closing will be delayed until the parties agree on the Estimated Purchase Price.
24
(c)(i) Within 60 days following the Closing, Eclipsys shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a balance sheet of MediNotes as of the Closing Date showing Eclipsys’s good faith determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt (the “Eclipsys Final Calculations”).
(ii) On or before the date which is 15 days after the date of Eclipsys’s delivery to the Stockholders’ Representative of the Eclipsys Final Calculations, the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to Eclipsys a notice of objection, stating in reasonable detail the grounds for such objection and signed by the Stockholders’ Representative (an “Objection Notice”), or a notice of acceptance signed by the Stockholders’ Representative (an “Acceptance Notice”), with respect to the Eclipsys Final Calculations. Eclipsys shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and any accountants and other representatives engaged by the Stockholders’ Representative, upon reasonable advance notice, access to such books and records of MediNotes relating to the Eclipsys Final Calculations as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative.
(iii) The Eclipsys Final Calculations shall be final and binding on the parties if an Acceptance Notice is delivered to Eclipsys or if no Objection Notice is delivered to Eclipsys with respect to such amounts within the 15 day period required by Section 2.10(c)(ii). If an Objection Notice is delivered, the potential dispute with respect to the Eclipsys Final Calculations shall be resolved as set forth in Section 2.11, and the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash or the Final Closing Date Debt, to the extent in dispute, determined pursuant to such procedures, in addition to the undisputed amounts, shall be final and binding on the parties.
(d) Upon determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt pursuant to Section 2.10(c), Eclipsys shall determine the Purchase Price. If the Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, then Eclipsys shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount in cash (subject to Section 2.12), equal to the difference (less a ratable portion attributable to any Dissenting Shares), which the Paying Agent shall distribute to the holders of Participating Shares (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) according to Section 2.7. If the Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay that shortfall in cash to Eclipsys out of the True-Up Reserve Amount, and if the shortfall exceeds the True-Up Reserve Amount, such excess will be paid to Eclipsys by the Effective Time Company Holders in their Pro Rata Portion, if any, in cash, or, at Eclipsys’s option, paid to Eclipsys from the Indemnification Amount. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall be made in cash (subject to Section 2.12) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after, as applicable, the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, the expiration of the 15 day period, if no Objection Notice is delivered, the agreement of the parties after consultation, or the issuance by the Unrelated Accounting Firm of its final report pursuant to Section 2.11. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, but in an amount less than $250,000, then Eclipsys shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, for addition to the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount, such difference. Further, if the Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated
25
Purchase Price by more than $250,000, but the Paying Agent has paid to Effective Time Company Holders more than 50% of the Closing Payment, then Eclipsys may make such payment directly to the Effective Time Company Holders, in its discretion.
2.11 Dispute Resolution of Calculation of Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash or the Closing Date Debt. If an Objection Notice is given with respect to any or all of the Eclipsys Final Calculations, the Stockholders’ Representative and Eclipsys shall consult with each other with respect to the objection. If Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to reach agreement within 15 days after an Objection Notice has been given, any unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Dallas, Texas office of such nationally recognized independent accounting firm, or economic consulting or valuation firm, as is mutually agreed to by Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Unrelated Accounting Firm”). The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed issues as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 45 days following submission of the matter to the Unrelated Accounting Firm) and to resolve only those issues of dispute set forth in the Objection Notice (subject to any items resolved by the parties after consultation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.11). In resolving any disputed issues relating to the Eclipsys Final Calculations, the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall act as experts and not as arbitrators. The resolution by the Unrelated Accounting Firm of the disputed amount, and the undisputed amounts, shall be final and binding on the parties for purposes of determining the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt, and the amounts owed by the parties under Sections 2.10(d), if any. The Effective Time Company Holders shall promptly pay the entire amount of the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm if the Unrelated Accounting Firm determines Eclipsys to be correct in its determination, net in the aggregate, of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt. Eclipsys shall promptly pay the entire amount of the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm if the Unrelated Accounting Firm determines the Stockholders’ Representative to be correct, net in the aggregate, in his or her determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt. If neither Eclipsys nor the Stockholders’ Representative is correct, then Eclipsys and the Effective Time Company Holders shall share the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm in such proportion as the Unrelated Accounting Firm may determine appropriately reflects the relative accuracy of their respective determinations. If the Effective Time Company Holders are obligated to pay some or all of the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm, the Stockholders’ Representative shall give written instructions to the Escrow Agent to make any such payment out of the Escrow Account for the Stockholder Fund Amount. If the remaining funds in the Escrow Account for the Stockholder Fund Amount are insufficient to make such payment, such additional cash as may be required to make such payment shall promptly be paid to the Unrelated Accounting Firm by the Effective Time Company Holders in their Pro Rata Portion, or, if the Effective Time Company Holders fail to do so, the expenses or the portion of the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm allocable to the Effective Time Company Holders may, at Eclipsys’s option, be paid from the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount.
2.12 Continuity of Interest Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the product of (A) the number of shares of Eclipsys Common Stock to be issued in the Merger in exchange for Shares (without taking account of any shares of Eclipsys
26
Common Stock that is transferred into the Escrow Account) (the “Stock Consideration”) and (B) the Testing Price of Eclipsys Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the trading session that closes immediately before the Effective Time (or other applicable valuation date under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(2) for purposes of testing the continuity of interest requirement under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)) (such date the “Valuation Date” and such product the “Value of Stock Consideration”) is less than 40% of the sum of the Value of Stock Consideration and the amount of Non-Stock Consideration (as defined below), then the amount of Non-Stock Consideration shall be reduced and the number of shares of Eclipsys Common Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for Shares shall be increased pro rata based on the cash consideration to which any Effective Time Company Holder is otherwise entitled pursuant to the Merger so as to cause such percentage to be equal to 40%. The additional shares of Eclipsys Common Stock to be issued in lieu of cash in exchange for Shares pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be determined using a per share value equal to the Average Market Price. For purposes of this paragraph, the “Non-Stock Consideration” shall mean (a) any cash consideration paid pursuant to the Merger (including cash included in the Holdback Amount and any adjustment payment pursuant to Section 2.10(d)), (b) any cash and the fair market value of any property that is distributed, transferred or paid by MediNotes to its stockholders (whether in a redemption transaction or as a dividend distribution) in connection with the Merger, and (c) any other cash or property (other than shares of Eclipsys Common Stock) that is transferred, paid or distributed by Eclipsys (or any Person related to Eclipsys within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(3)) to holders of Shares in exchange for such Shares in connection with the Merger (including any payments of expenses incurred in connection with the disposition of fractional shares in the Merger). The “Testing Price” shall be the lowest trading price of the Eclipsys Common Stock on the Valuation Date.
2.13 Approval. The receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval shall be deemed to constitute approval of all arrangements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the provisions hereof binding upon the Stockholders and the Effective Time Company Holders.

(a) Section 4.13(a) of the Disclosure Schedule provides a true, correct and complete list of all of the Contracts relating to all real property leased to MediNotes (which property includes MediNotes’ right title and interest in any leasehold improvements thereon and personal property and fixtures therein, and in each case all of MediNotes’ rights and interest in any other rights, subleases, licenses, permits, deposits and profits appurtenant or related to such Lease, the “Leased Real Property”).

(a) Section 4.14(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, complete and accurate list of the following Company Owned IP (other than trade secrets and know how): Company Registered IP, material Software and material unregistered Trademarks, indicating for each: (i) for each item thereof the beneficial owner thereof and, if different, the record owner thereof; (ii) whether such Company Owned IP is Company Registered IP; and (iii) for Company Registered IP, (A) the applicable registration or application, issuance or other identifying number, (B) the date, status, and applicable territories of such registration, issuance or filing, as applicable, and (C) the status, including the date and description of any action that is due within 90 days of the date hereof in connection with such registration, issuance or filing, as applicable.
45
In the case of any Company Registered IP in which a Person other than MediNotes holds an interest, Section 4.14(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies such Company Registered IP and Person and accurately and fully describes the extent of such interest. All Company Owned IP was created solely by employees or contractors of MediNotes and without any participation or funding by any Governmental Entity or other Person. No Person has an interest in any Company Owned IP that would entitle them to exploit the Company Owned IP without the consent of MediNotes and no such consents have been given by MediNotes.
(b) Section 4.14(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (i) sets forth a true, complete and accurate list of all Company Licensed IP that is (A) incorporated into the products of MediNotes provided to customers or provided to customers in connection with products or services of MediNotes, (B) “resold” or sublicensed to customers by MediNotes, (C) used by MediNotes as a development tool (excluding commercially available, non-customized software and PC applications at a cost of less than $10,000 for current use by MediNotes, such as Word or Windows, that are not incorporated into MediNotes’ products (“Off-the-Shelf Software”)); or (D) material to the Business and is not covered under clauses (A), (B) or (C); (ii) identifies the license or other Contract pursuant to which such Company Licensed IP is being licensed to or used by MediNotes (each, a “License-In Agreement”); (iii) sets forth, to the extent applicable, the number or quantity of copies of the Company Licensed IP that MediNotes is permitted to use or distribute, the number or quantity that MediNotes is using or distributing, and the number or quantity that MediNotes expects to use or distribute in the next three years; and (iv) sets forth a complete and accurate list of the amount of any remaining unused prepaid royalty and identifies those License-In Agreements under which such royalty or license fee (excluding fees for maintenance and support) was paid or may become payable by MediNotes by reason of the passage of time, use or exploitation of Intellectual Property licensed thereunder. True, complete and accurate copies (or, as to oral Contracts, written summaries of the terms), of all License-In Agreements entered into by MediNotes on or prior to the date hereof have been provided to Eclipsys and true, complete and accurate copies (or, as to oral Contracts, written summaries of the terms) of any License-In Agreements entered into by MediNotes after the date hereof and prior to or on the Closing Date will be provided to Eclipsys promptly after being so entered into. There are no terms of any License-In Agreements not set forth in the copies thereof provided to Eclipsys. The terms and conditions of all of the License-In Agreements were negotiated at arm’s length. Without limiting the foregoing, MediNotes has acquired rights to all Company Licensed IP (including without limitation Off-the-Shelf Software) in sufficient quantities and of sufficient scope to cover all of MediNotes’ past and current use(s) and copies of the Company Licensed IP and those reasonably anticipated to be needed (y) for internal use during the year after the Closing Date in accordance with current business plans, and (z) for the duration of the terms (including during any periods subject to a renewal right) of any Contract with or binding on MediNotes or its properties pursuant to which Company Licensed IP is used by third parties. Furthermore, the rights licensed under each License-In Agreement shall be exercisable by MediNotes on and after the Closing Date to the same extent and at the same cost as MediNotes had prior to the Closing Date, and no Person granting rights under any License-In Agreement has given notice in writing, or such other form as permitted by such License-In Agreement, to the Major Stockholders or MediNotes or Threatened that it intends to terminate such License-In Agreement prior to the expiration of the existing term thereof or to deny any request for an extension of such term.
46
(c) MediNotes has good and valid title to all of the Company Owned IP, free and clear of any Liens except for Permitted Liens, and (i) all registrations, applications and filings for the Company Registered IP are valid, enforceable, and in full force and effect, and (ii) MediNotes has the right to enforce the Company Owned IP against the Stockholders and third parties. MediNotes is not, and will not with the passage of time or satisfaction of conditions become, obligated to make any payment to any Person in connection with the manufacture, use, sale, importation, distribution, display, modification or other exploitation of any Company Owned IP. MediNotes is free to make, use, modify, copy, distribute, sell, license, import, export and otherwise exploit all Company Owned IP on an exclusive basis subject only to nonexclusive (x) use pursuant to end-user licenses granted to customers; (y) distribution rights granted to the resellers or distributors listed in Section 4.14(c) of the Disclosure Schedule; and (z) nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements pursuant to which any Person has been granted access to Company Owned IP but in which such agreement does not grant the right to exploit such Company Owned IP; in each case of (x) through (z) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and disclosed to Eclipsys prior to the date hereof. No current or former employee, officer, director, stockholder, consultant or independent contractor of MediNotes has any valid right, claim or interest in or with respect to any Company IP which would impair or which could give rise to the impairment of the use, distribution, license or other exploitation of the Company IP by MediNotes or Eclipsys or their successors or transferees.
(d) MediNotes has taken reasonable measures and precautions to protect, preserve and maintain the confidentiality and secrecy of all trade secrets and other confidential information material to the Business, including at a minimum: (i) maintaining the security of its facilities and systems so that confidential information and trade secrets are not available to Persons who are not authorized to have access; (ii) policing the use of such information; and (iii) taking appropriate action to address any misuse, or compromise of the confidentiality of such information. None of the Major Stockholders or MediNotes has disclosed or delivered or has permitted to be disclosed or delivered to any Person, and no Person has access to (other than employees of MediNotes who need such information in the course of their employment) or has any rights with respect to, trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary information material to the Business, the source code or any portion or aspect of the source code related to the Software Products or otherwise material to the Business, or any proprietary information or algorithm contained in any source code related to the Software Products or of any other Software that comprises Company Owned IP, other than instances where such trade secrets, confidential information and source code have been disclosed subject to an agreement with any Person pursuant to which such Person is required to maintain, and has not breached, the confidentiality thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MediNotes has in all cases (A) required each Person who has contributed to, or participated in the creation or development of any of the Software Products or other Company Owned IP to execute and deliver to MediNotes an agreement, in the form of Section 4.14(d)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, or another form provided to Eclipsys prior to the date hereof, assigning all rights in the Software Products and other Company Owned IP to MediNotes, and all such agreements are in full force and effect, and (B) marked confidential or trade secret materials as such prior to disclosure of such materials to any third-party. Section 4.14(d)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth all Software escrow Contracts relating to the Software Products or any other Software that comprises Company Owned IP, the parties to such escrow Contracts, and the code escrowed pursuant to such escrow Contracts. No code has ever been released pursuant to any escrow arrangement. True, complete and accurate copies (or, as to oral Contracts, written summaries of the terms) of all such escrow Contracts have been provided to Eclipsys.
47
(e) (i) None of the Company Owned IP or any of the products or services of MediNotes or the Intellectual Property used by MediNotes in its operations (including the Company Licensed IP), infringe, misappropriate, violate, dilute or constitute the unauthorized use of any Intellectual Property of any other Person, and MediNotes has not received (A) any notice or claim (oral or written) in the past six (6) years, and no Person has Threatened during such period to provide, a notice or claim, alleging or asserting that any such infringement, misappropriation, violation, dilution or unauthorized use is or may be occurring or has or may have occurred, or (B) any written notice or claim alleging or asserting that any such infringement, misappropriation, violation, dilution or unauthorized use is or may be occurring or has or may have occurred. No confidential information or invention owned by any former employer of any current or former employee or consultant of MediNotes is incorporated into, used or relied upon in the products or services of MediNotes. There is no pending or Threatened claim or demand that challenges the ownership, legality, validity, enforceability, use, exploitation or modification by MediNotes of Company Owned IP or any of the products or services of MediNotes or the Intellectual Property used by MediNotes in its operations (including the Company Licensed IP) and, to the Knowledge of MediNotes, no facts or circumstances exist that could reasonably be expected to result in such a claim or demand. No Company Owned IP or any of the products or services of MediNotes or the Intellectual Property used by MediNotes in its operations (including the Company Licensed IP), is subject to any outstanding Order restricting the use thereof by MediNotes or, in the case of any Intellectual Property licensed by MediNotes to others, restricting the sale, transfer, assignment or licensing thereof by MediNotes to any Person.
(ii) MediNotes has the right to grant the licenses it grants in the course of its business.
(iii) The Company IP held by MediNotes: (A) constitutes all of the Intellectual Property used in or necessary for the conduct of the Business; and (B) constitutes all of the Intellectual Property necessary to operate the Business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as the Business has heretofore been operated by MediNotes. No rights in any Registered Intellectual Property, and to the Knowledge of MediNotes, no rights in any Intellectual Property, in each case other than the rights of MediNotes in the Company IP, are necessary to avoid infringing any Intellectual Property or other legal or contractual right of any Person in the conduct of the Business as currently or previously conducted, or as currently contemplated to be conducted by MediNotes.
(f) All Company Registered IP is valid, enforceable to the full extent permitted by the jurisdiction in which it is registered and in full force and effect, and all maintenance, annuity and other fees due in respect of such Company Registered IP have been fully paid and all filings applicable thereto have been properly made. There is (i) no trademark included in the Company Registered IP that is now involved in any opposition or cancellation proceeding and no trademark that is currently used by MediNotes has been involved in any opposition or cancellation proceeding, and (ii) no patent or patent application included in the Company Registered IP that is now involved in any interference, reissue or reexamination proceeding.
48
(g) To the Knowledge of MediNotes, no Person is infringing or misappropriating any Company Owned IP in any respect or making any unlawful use of any products of MediNotes in any respect. None of the Major Stockholders or MediNotes (including its representatives) has given notice to any Person in the last three years of any such infringement, misappropriation or unlawful use or alleged infringement, misappropriation or unlawful use. MediNotes has not initiated nor is it maintaining before a court or in an arbitration proceeding claims or causes of action against any other Person for infringement or misappropriation by such Person of Company Owned IP (including claims for past infringement or misappropriation of Intellectual Property). MediNotes has not, during the last twelve months, threatened in a writing sent by the legal counsel of MediNotes to initiate such proceeding.
(h) There has not been introduced by, or on behalf of, MediNotes into any Company IP incorporated into or used in conjunction with any product, system, program or Software that is or was used in any product of, or that relates to the assets of, MediNotes, including the Software Products, any “back door,” “time bomb,” “Trojan horse,” “worm,” “drop dead device,” “virus” or other software routines or hardware components designed to permit unauthorized access or to disable or erase software, hardware or data without the consent of the user.
(i) The existing and currently manufactured and marketed products of MediNotes, including the Software Products, in all material respects have the features and perform the functions described in (i) any agreed specifications, responses to requests for proposals or end user documentation, provided to customers or potential customers of MediNotes, and (ii) any Contracts or representations made by MediNotes or its representatives (either orally or in writing) that such customers or potential customers could reasonably rely on in deciding to purchase the products (notwithstanding any subsequent disclaimer of any representations or warranties) or would reasonably be expected to rely upon when licensing or otherwise acquiring such products, in each case, subject to subsequent changes expressly requested by the customer and to standard error and maintenance items addressed by MediNotes in the ordinary course of business. Excluding error and maintenance items adequately addressed by MediNotes in the ordinary course of business, MediNotes has not received any notice or complaints alleging that such products do not perform as described. There are no material errors or omissions in the design, creation, implementation or maintenance of any of the Software Products. MediNotes has performed all material obligations (legal and contractual) required to be performed by it under the Contracts with customers and it is not (with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any material respect thereunder, and, with respect to material obligations required to be performed under such Contracts that are not yet due, there is no reason to expect that such obligations will not be fulfilled when they become due.
(j) No Company Owned IP is, in whole or in part, subject to the provisions of any open source, quasi-open source or other source code license agreement that (i) requires the distribution of source code in connection with the distribution of the licensed Software in object
49
code form; (ii) prohibits or limits MediNotes or any Affiliate from charging a fee or receiving consideration in connection with sublicensing or distributing such licensed Software (whether in source code or object code form); or (iii) allows a customer or requires that a customer have the right to decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer the software by its terms and not by operation of law, including without limitation, any version of any of the following: (A) GNU’s General Public License (“GPL”) or Lesser/Library GPL, (B) The Artistic License (e.g., PERL), (C) the Mozilla Public License, (D) the Netscape Public License, (E) the Berkeley software design (“BSD”) license including Free BSD or BSD-style license, (F) the Sun Community Source License, (G) an Open Source Foundation License (e.g., CDE and Motif UNIX user interfaces), and (H) the Apache Server license.
(k) MediNotes has taken all reasonable actions, including all actions customary in the United States software industry, to document any Software and its operation that is part of the Company IP, such that the Software, including the source code, and Software Documentation:
(i) have been written in a clear and professional manner so that they may be understood, modified, maintained, enhanced and debugged in an efficient manner by programmers of ordinary skill in the art and comply with all applicable contractual requirements;
(ii) fully describe the programming of the Software, including specifications, functional and flow diagrams, tracked changes to each version of the Software; and
(iii) allow debugging of the software and addition and changes of personnel who maintain and enhance the Software without undue experimentation and exploration.
(l) MediNotes has not exported or transmitted Software, trade secrets or any other technical information, including any technical data, or the direct product of such data, to or in any country to which such export or transmission or creation is restricted by any applicable Legal Requirement, without first having obtained all necessary and appropriate United States or other Government Entity Permit(s).
(m) Section 4.14(m) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies all Software Products and any other Software that comprises Company Owned IP that incorporate encryption subroutines, listing for each applicable Software Product or other Software the modules upon which such subroutines operate and the type of encryption employed with respect to each such module.
(n) Without limiting the foregoing, the Software Products are wholly owned by MediNotes and none of the Stockholders or any third-party has any rights or interests therein.
(o) (i) Each Contract relating to Company IP (each, a “Company IP Contract”) is valid, binding and in full force and effect and is enforceable by MediNotes in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity, whether in equity or at law;
50

(iii) to the Knowledge of MediNotes, no other party to any of the Company IP Contracts is (with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any material respect thereunder. True, complete and accurate copies (or, as to oral Contracts, written summaries of the terms) of the Company IP Contracts entered into on or prior to the date hereof have been provided to Eclipsys, and true, complete and accurate copies (or, as to oral Contracts, written summaries of the terms) of any Company IP Contracts entered into after the date hereof will be provided to Eclipsys promptly after being so entered into.
(p) Neither the execution and delivery by MediNotes or the Major Stockholders of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will violate, or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a material default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default) under, or result in the termination or in a right of termination or cancellation of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in the triggering of any payment obligations under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the material properties of MediNotes, or result in being declared void, voidable, or without further binding effect, any of the provisions of any Company IP Contract.
(q) The Software Products will, in their intended and ordinary use, not cause the violation of any applicable Legal Requirements restricting the collection, use, retention or distribution of personally identifiable information, including without limitation the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services thereunder (collectively, “Privacy Regulations”). MediNotes has not violated and is not violating any Privacy Regulations, and the continuation of the Business substantially consistent with past practices, including the continued use of all Company Owned IP, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not violate any Privacy Regulations.
4.15 Other Assets.

All material claims under the Insurance Policies have been filed in a timely fashion. To the Knowledge of MediNotes, the activities and operations of MediNotes have been conducted in a manner so as to conform in all material respects to all applicable provisions of the Insurance Policies. None of MediNotes, the Person to whom any Insurance Policy has been issued or, to the Knowledge of MediNotes, any Major Stockholder, has failed to disclose any fact to the insurance companies or failed to take any other action, the consequences of which non-disclosure or failure to take action would render any Insurance Policy void, or voidable, or suspend, impair or defeat in whole or in part the insurance coverage issued thereunder.

6.6 Third-Party Offers.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, MediNotes and each of the Major Stockholders shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant) and agents to immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any Persons with respect to any Third-Party Acquisition, and none of the Major Stockholders or MediNotes shall, or shall authorize or permit any of its respective Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant) or agents to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate any inquiries, discussions or negotiations with or provide any information or access to any Person concerning any potential Third-Party Acquisition or that may reasonably be expected to lead to any Third-Party Acquisition or attempted Third-Party Acquisition, or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement a Third-Party Acquisition. MediNotes shall, within 24 hours, communicate to Eclipsys the existence or occurrence and the terms of any potential Third-Party Acquisition or contact or inquiry related to any potential Third-Party Acquisition that the Major Stockholders, MediNotes or any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents, receive in respect of such a proposed transaction, and the identity of the Person from whom such proposal, inquiry, or other contact was received.

The Major Stockholders and MediNotes have instructed all of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents to terminate all discussions relating to a Third-Party Acquisition.
64
6.7 Restrictive Covenants.
(a) The Major Stockholders recognize that the covenants of the Major Stockholders contained in this Section 6.7 are an essential part of this Agreement and that but for the agreement of each Major Stockholder to comply with such covenants Eclipsys would not enter into this Agreement. The Major Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.7 are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Business acquired by Eclipsys pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, trade secrets and other confidential information and goodwill, and that irreparable harm and damage will be done to Eclipsys if any Major Stockholder takes any action in any way prohibited by such covenants. In addition, the Major Stockholders acknowledge that the Purchase Price is paid in part as consideration for customer contacts and marketplace reputation developed by MediNotes for the Business and such covenants are necessary for Eclipsys to receive the full benefit of this Agreement.
(b) After the Closing, each Major Stockholder shall not individually, or in concert with any other Person, directly or indirectly:
(i) engage or become interested in, as owner, employee, partner, through equity ownership (not including up to a five percent passive equity interest in a company for which such Major Stockholder does not serve as an officer, director, employee or consultant), investment of capital, lending of money or property, rendering of services, including as a director (or equivalent), or otherwise create or initiate, any business competitive with the Business;
(ii) take, or assist any other Person in taking, any action intended to advance an interest of any competitor or potential competitor of the Business, or encourage any other Person to take such action; or
(iii) take, or assist any other Person in taking, any material action intended to cause any customer or prospective customer of the Business to use the services or purchase or license the products of any competitor of the Business.
The covenants of the Major Stockholders set forth in this Section 6.7(b) are referred to herein as the “Covenant Not to Compete.”
The Covenant Not to Compete shall cover all of the counties and other political subdivisions of the states of the United States. The Covenant Not to Compete shall bind each Major Stockholder for the three year period immediately following the Closing Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of Section 6.7(f) (the “Restrictive Period”). The Major Stockholders agree that the duration and area for which the Covenant Not to Compete set forth in this Section 6.7(b) is to be effective are reasonable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit Xxxxxx Xxxx from rendering services to Bond Medical Corp., Inc., a Florida corporation (“Bond Medical Group”) for so long as the business of Bond Medical Group is solely that of (A) acting as a reseller of products and services of MediNotes and (B) limited servicing of products competitive with those of MediNotes pursuant to servicing arrangements entered into prior to the date of the Bond Agreement (which Xxxxxx Xxxx represents is the sole business of Bond Medical Group as conducted on the Closing Date).
65
Each of the Major Stockholders hereby acknowledges and agrees that the benefit of the Covenant Not to Compete may be assigned by Eclipsys to any Subsidiary of Eclipsys in connection with any corporate restructuring or reorganization of Eclipsys of the Business, without the further consent of such Major Stockholder.
(c) In addition, and not in limitation of the prohibitions described in Section 6.7(b), for the Restrictive Period, each of the Major Stockholders shall not, and shall cause such Major Stockholder’s Affiliates and family members not to, directly or indirectly, and shall not cause, encourage or assist any other Person to, divert or attempt to divert or take advantage of or attempt to take advantage of any actual or potential business or opportunities of Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates of which any of the Major Stockholders become aware which relate to the Business, or any part thereof and which are located in any county or any other political subdivision of the states of the United States of America.
(d) During the Restrictive Period, each of the Major Stockholders shall not, and each Major Stockholder shall cause its Affiliates not to, and shall not, cause or encourage or assist any other Persons to, directly or indirectly:
(i) perform any action, activity or course of conduct consisting of or encouraging the following: (A) soliciting, recruiting or hiring any employees of Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates; or (B) soliciting or encouraging any such employee of Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates to leave the employment of Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates; or
(ii) cause, solicit or encourage any customer, or contractor, subcontractor or other supplier of Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates to terminate or adversely alter any relationship such customer or supplier may have with any of Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit general solicitations by the Major Stockholders or their Affiliates not directed at any specific employees of Eclipsys or MediNotes or their respective Affiliates, including any newspaper advertisements.
(e) The covenants set forth in this Section 6.7 are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other duties any Major Stockholder may have to Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates. The Major Stockholders acknowledge that the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 impose a reasonable restraint on the Major Stockholders in light of the activities and business and future plans of Eclipsys. The Major Stockholders acknowledge that if they violate any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to Eclipsys, MediNotes and their Affiliates and, in addition to any other remedies Eclipsys, MediNotes and their Affiliates may have, Eclipsys, MediNotes and their Affiliates shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages in the event of any breach or threatened breach of such covenants. The non-prevailing party or parties shall be
66
liable to pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, that the prevailing party or parties may incur in enforcing or defending, to any extent, any of the Restrictive Covenants, whether or not litigation is actually commenced and including litigation of any appeal. Eclipsys, MediNotes and their Affiliates may elect to seek one or more remedies at their discretion on a case by case basis. Failure to seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict Eclipsys, MediNotes and their Affiliates from seeking any remedies in another situation or for a continuing breach. Such action by Eclipsys, MediNotes and their Affiliates shall not constitute a waiver of any of their rights.
(f) Each of the Restrictive Covenants will be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability. However, if any term, provision or condition of the Restrictive Covenants is held by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. If a court or arbitrator determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants are unenforceable, in whole or in part, then the court or arbitrator shall modify such covenant so as to make it enforceable to the fullest extent the court or arbitrator deems enforceable under the prevailing circumstances. As to each Major Stockholder, the Covenant Not to Compete shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county or other political subdivision of the states of the United States of America, which is where the Covenant Not to Compete is intended to be effective. Any violation of the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall automatically toll the passage of the three year period with respect to the breaching Stockholder and extend the Restrictive Period for the duration of such violations with respect to the breaching Stockholder.
(g) At any time during the Restrictive Period, each or any of the Major Stockholders shall, within five (5) days of the written request of Eclipsys, certify to Eclipsys in writing (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Eclipsys) that such Major Stockholder is in full compliance with the covenants contained in this Section 6.7.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restrictive Covenants shall not apply to any Institutional Major Stockholder and its Affiliates to the extent that such Restrictive Covenants would prevent such Institutional Major Stockholder and its Affiliates from conducting its business in the ordinary course as such business was conducted in the past; provided that this Section 6.7(h) shall not apply to any Affiliates of such Institutional Major Stockholders, if such Affiliates are also Major Stockholders.
(i) Nothing contained in this Section 6.7 is intended to confer upon any individual Major Stockholder any right to employment with Eclipsys, MediNotes or their Affiliates at any time after the Closing Date.
6.8 Directors. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Major Stockholders shall cause each director to resign from their position as a director of the Board of Directors of MediNotes.
6.9 Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders shall at all times maintain a representative (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) for purposes of taking certain actions and giving certain consents on behalf of the Major Stockholders prior to the Closing, and the Effective Time Company Holders from and after the Closing, as specified herein. The Major
67
Stockholders hereby appoint Xxxxx X. Xxxxx as the initial Stockholders’ Representative, and immediately upon the approval of this Agreement by the requisite vote or written consent of the Stockholders, each Stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to such appointment (or any then acting successor pursuant to the terms hereof) and the terms hereof. Another person shall be appointed as the Stockholders’ Representative if the person so designated (or any successor thereof) is unwilling or unable to so act. The Stockholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each of the Stockholders acknowledges that actions taken, consents given and representations made by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders pursuant hereto shall be binding upon the Major Stockholders and the Effective Time Company Holders, as applicable, including all actions under Section 7.2(b) and under the Holdback Escrow Agreement. This appointment and grant of power and authority by each Stockholder is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Stockholder or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of any individual Stockholder, or by the occurrence of any other event. The Stockholders’ Representative is authorized to take any action on behalf of the Major Stockholders or the Effective Time Company Holders, as applicable, to facilitate or administer the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, amending this Agreement, and executing such other documents or instruments as the Stockholders’ Representative deems appropriate. The Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of, as applicable, (i) if prior to the Effective Time, the Major Stockholders holding a majority of the then outstanding aggregate fully diluted Shares held by the Major Stockholders, or (ii) from and after the Effective Time, the Effective Time Company Holders holding a majority of the outstanding aggregate fully diluted Shares at the Effective Time.
6.10 Employee Matters.
(a) The employees of MediNotes listed on Schedule 6.10(a) will, subject to Section 6.10(b), continue as at-will employees of MediNotes or Eclipsys or another Subsidiary of Eclipsys following the Closing, on terms to be determined by Eclipsys in consultation with MediNotes. If employment is continued by Eclipsys or another Subsidiary of Eclipsys other than MediNotes, the new employer shall assume any accrued but unused vacation benefits as listed on Schedule 6.10(a). Employees of MediNotes who continue in the employ of MediNotes, or Eclipsys or a Subsidiary of Eclipsys, following a reasonable transition period determined by Eclipsys in consultation with the Stockholders’ Representative, will have benefits and be employed on terms consistent with those provided by Eclipsys to its other employees at comparable levels in the organization, including annual base compensation, as applicable based on employment level, plus an opportunity to receive equity based compensation and an annual bonus pursuant to the performance-based corporate bonus plan, if established by Eclipsys’s Board of Directors. Following the Closing, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, applicable tax qualification requirements and the terms of the applicable employee benefit plans and policies of Eclipsys, and subject to any generally applicable break in service or similar rule, Eclipsys shall recognize the years of service of each continuing employee of MediNotes with MediNotes prior to the Closing Date for purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate (but not benefit accrual) under the employee benefit plans and policies of Eclipsys; provided, however, that such service will not be recognized if recognition would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service or to the extent that such service was not recognized under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan.
68
(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement confers upon any employee of MediNotes any right to continued employment or participation in any Company Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan or policy of Eclipsys or its Subsidiaries at any time after the Closing Date, nor shall anything contained herein be deemed an amendment or modification of any Company Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan or policy of Eclipsys or its Subsidiaries.
(c) Eclipsys shall be solely responsible for any required notice and payments under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act of 1988 (the “WARN Act”) and any similar state statutes, and otherwise to comply with any such statute with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting any continuing employees of MediNotes occurring after the Closing Date. MediNotes shall provide any required notice and payments under the WARN Act, and any similar state statutes, and otherwise to comply with any such statute with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting any employees of MediNotes on or before the Closing Date.

Each Major Stockholder represents that such Major Stockholder has not assigned or transferred or purported to have assigned or transferred to any Person any Claims. This general release set forth in this Section 6.11 shall not affect any rights that the Major Stockholder may have which arise solely under this Agreement (including payment of the Purchase Price), or that arise after the Closing Date.
(b) Each Major Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the releases made herein constitute final and complete releases of the Released Parties with respect to all Claims. Each Major Stockholder expressly acknowledges and agrees that this general release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which such Major Stockholder does not
69
know or suspect to exist at the time hereof, and this general release contemplates the extinguishment of any and all such Claims. Furthermore, each Major Stockholder hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits that such Major Stockholder may have under any Legal Requirements, including any state law or any common law principles limiting waivers of unknown claims. Each Major Stockholder understands that the facts and circumstances under which such Major Stockholder gives this full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties set forth herein may hereafter prove to be different than now known or believed by such Major Stockholder and such Major Stockholder hereby accepts and assumes the risk thereof and agrees that such Major Stockholder’s full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties with respect to the Claims shall remain effective in all respects and not be subject to termination, rescission or modification by reason of any such difference in facts and circumstances.
(c) Each Major Stockholder represents and agrees that such Major Stockholder has not filed with any Governmental Entity or arbitrator or any other Person any complaint, charge or lawsuit against any of the Released Parties involving any Claims, and that such Major Stockholder will not do so at any time hereafter.
(d) Each Major Stockholder represents and acknowledges that in executing this general release such Major Stockholder does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made by any of the Released Parties or by any of the Released Parties’ Affiliates, agents, representatives or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this general release or otherwise.
(e) Without limiting the foregoing general release, each Major Stockholder agrees that such Major Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, (i) bring or cause to be brought, or encourage or participate in the prosecution of, any action, proceeding or suit seeking recovery by or on behalf of any Person from any Released Party of any amount in respect of, or Damages with respect to, any of the Claims, or (ii) defend any action, proceeding or suit in whole or in part on the grounds that any or all of the terms or provisions of this Section 6.11 violate any Legal Requirements, or are illegal, invalid, inequitable, not binding, unenforceable or against public policy.
6.12 Confidentiality.
(a) Each party and such party’s representatives shall use any Confidential Information of any other party solely for the purpose of pursuing the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not directly or indirectly use or exploit the Confidential Information of any other party for its own benefit or the benefit of another Person, including to create, adopt or modify products or services which would compete with the disclosing party’s products or services. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information of Eclipsys shall, from and after the Closing Date, include the Confidential Information of MediNotes and the Business, and the Stockholders shall be subject to all obligations set forth herein with respect to such Confidential Information of Eclipsys and MediNotes. This provision is not intended to restrict independent business activities, in each case undertaken without use of the other party’s Confidential Information and without violating the Restrictive Covenants, employment terms, or other legal or contractual duties (but this sentence does not limit the Restrictive Covenants or any employment terms or other legal or contractual duties).
70
(b) Each party agrees that (i) the Confidential Information of any other party received or otherwise held by it or generated by it or its representatives based upon such Confidential Information shall be kept confidential, (ii) except as permitted hereunder, such party and its advisors and other representatives will not disclose any of the Confidential Information of any other party in any manner whatsoever, and (iii) such party and its representatives will use the same level of care to prohibit disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information as such party uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event using less than reasonable care and diligence; provided, however, that (A) such party may make any disclosure of such information to which the other party gives its prior written consent, and (B) any of such information may be disclosed to such party’s representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of pursuing the transactions contemplated hereby, and who agree to keep such information confidential. In any event, each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its representatives and shall, at its sole expense, take all reasonable measures (including but not limited to court proceedings) to restrain its representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of any other party.
(c) The receiving party shall immediately notify the disclosing party upon any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information.
(d) In the event that any party or any of its representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information of any other party, it shall provide the disclosing party with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the disclosing party, the receiving party or any of its representatives are nonetheless, in the opinion of its outside counsel, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other similar censure or penalty, the receiving party or its representative may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal only that portion of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party that such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the receiving party exercises its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the disclosing party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information by such tribunal.
(e) Each party acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the other parties has tangible value and it is further understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the provisions set forth herein by any party or any of their representatives and that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of the provisions set forth herein, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the parties.
71
(f) Nothing herein shall limit the obligations of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement, and to the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 6.12 and the Confidentiality Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement shall govern with respect to the parties thereto.
6.13 Covenants Regarding Contracts. On or before the Closing Date, unless waived by Eclipsys, MediNotes shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, and Eclipsys shall use reasonable efforts to assist MediNotes in obtaining, all Consents required under the Material Contracts in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, on terms that are not materially burdensome to Eclipsys or MediNotes, and MediNotes shall deliver copies of such Consents to Eclipsys.
6.14 Stockholder Meeting. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, MediNotes shall take all action necessary in accordance with Iowa law and the MediNotes Articles of Incorporation and by-laws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting for Stockholders to consider and vote upon the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative, or solicit the written consent of Stockholders thereto. MediNotes will, through its Board of Directors, recommend to the Stockholders the adoption and approval of this Agreement, shall not withdraw, modify or change such recommendation, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain Company Stockholders’ Approval. The Major Stockholders will use reasonable efforts to secure the Company Stockholder Approval.
6.15 Tax-Free Reorganization Status.
(a) Each of Eclipsys, Merger Sub, and MediNotes shall use its best efforts to cause the Merger followed by the Second Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. None of Eclipsys, Merger Sub, and MediNotes, or their respective Subsidiaries shall take, or agree to take, any action that could prevent or impede the Merger followed by the Second Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of Eclipsys, Merger Sub, and MediNotes shall report the Merger followed by the Second Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code within the manner described in Revenue Ruling 2001-46.
6.16 Second Merger. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Eclipsys shall cause the Second Merger to be effected by, among other things, approving the Second Merger as the sole shareholder of the Surviving Corporation, adopting and causing the Surviving Corporation to adopt an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which the Surviving Corporation shall be merged with and into a wholly owned limited liability company Subsidiary of Eclipsys that is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes, with such Subsidiary being the entity surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Eclipsys. There shall be no conditions to the Second Merger, other than the consummation of
72
the Merger. It is intended that the Second Merger shall occur as described in this Section 6.16, and that the Merger and the Second Merger together qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of section 1.368-2(g) of the regulations promulgated under the Code.
6.17 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, MediNotes may purchase tail coverage under its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary insurance policies covering MediNotes’ directors, officers and fiduciaries, with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occur at or before the Effective Time. Eclipsys shall use, and cause MediNotes to use, commercially reasonable efforts to keep any such tail coverage in effect for the term thereof, provided that neither Eclipsys nor MediNotes shall in any event be obligated to make payments with respect to any such policy beyond the premiums paid by MediNotes prior to the Closing.
(b) This Section 6.17 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third-party rights to, the directors, officers and fiduciaries of MediNotes at or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such persons are covered by any such tail policies purchased by MediNotes prior to the Effective Time, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Eclipsys. Each director, officer or fiduciary of MediNotes so covered shall be entitled to enforce the post-closing covenants of Eclipsys and MediNotes contained in this Section 6.17.
6.18 Compliance with Rule 144(c)(1). For so long as resales of shares of Eclipsys Common Stock issued as part of the Merger Consideration are subject to the resale restrictions set forth in Rule 145 under the Securities Act, Eclipsys will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act.
6.19 Termination of 401(k) Plan. Effective no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, MediNotes shall terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each such plan, a “Company 401(k) Plan”) pursuant to resolutions of MediNote’s Board of Directors that are substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.19. MediNotes shall provide Eclipsys with evidence that all Company 401(k) Plans have been terminated (effective no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date) and shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any Company 401(k) Plans as Eclipsys may reasonably require.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, as an accommodation to the Sellers under the Bond Agreement, promptly, but in no event more than 10 days after Eclipsys receives (i) the Merger Consideration for all shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or any shares of Company Common Stock into which such shares are converted) held in escrow pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 10.05 of the Bond Agreement, as set forth in Section 6.20(c)(i), and (ii) the letters of transmittal and stock powers described in Section 6.20(c), Eclipsys shall deliver to Xxxxxx Xxxx, as owners’ representative under the Bond Agreement, fifty percent (50%) of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration received therefor, provided that Xxxxxx Xxxx has provided Eclipsys with wire instructions for such transfer at least one Business Day prior to such payment.

The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date.
(b) The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely, except as expressly provided otherwise herein.
7.2 Indemnification and Other Rights.
(a) If the Closing occurs, each of the Stockholders shall, jointly and severally (except as stated in Section 7.4(d) below), indemnify and defend Eclipsys, and its Affiliates (including MediNotes following the Closing), each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns (the “Eclipsys Indemnified Parties”) against and hold them harmless, reimburse and make them whole from and against any loss, claim, Liability, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable legal and expert fees and expenses incurred in investigation or defense (including any appeal) of any of the same, or in asserting, preserving or enforcing its rights hereunder) actually incurred or claims suffered by any such indemnified party (collectively “Damages”), to the extent arising from or in connection with any of the following:
(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of MediNotes or the Major Stockholders, or any of them, contained in this Agreement, as modified by the Disclosure Schedule or any of the other Transaction Documents (without giving effect to any supplement to the Disclosure Schedule after the date hereof, except for the Capitalization Update), provided that disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedules shall be disregarded with respect to any claims arising from or in connection with any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations set forth in Schedules 4.7(d)(i), 4.7(d)(iii), 4.11(a), 4.14(e) or 4.19(b);
(ii) any breach of any covenant of MediNotes prior to the Closing, or any breach of any covenant of the Major Stockholders, or any of them, contained in this Agreement;
75
(iii) a Third-Party Claim arising from or in connection with the operations of the Business before the Closing Date, including but not limited to (A) errors and omissions in design, creation, implementation or maintenance of any of the Software Products, (B) any failure of any of the Software Products to conform to commitments made by or on behalf of MediNotes to customers or third parties before the Closing Date, and (C) any failure by MediNotes prior to the Closing Date to perform all material obligations under the Material Contracts, and in each case notwithstanding disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedule;

provided that Eclipsys shall not be entitled to recover duplicate Damages under clauses (i) through (v), to the extent claims could be made under more than one of such clauses.
The express written waiver by Eclipsys of any condition set forth in Section 8.2 based on the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant or obligation, will not preclude any right of Eclipsys or any other Eclipsys Indemnified Party to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation to the extent arising from a Third-Party Claim. For purposes of this Agreement, Damages shall include, but not be limited to, the amount by which the value of MediNotes and the Business is less than it would have been but for a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of MediNotes or the Major Stockholders, or the failure by MediNotes or the Major Stockholders to fulfill their obligations hereunder.

(c) Eclipsys shall indemnify the Stockholders and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives against and hold them harmless from any Damages to the extent arising from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Eclipsys contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; and (ii) any breach of any covenant of Eclipsys contained in this Agreement. The express written waiver by MediNotes of any condition set forth in
76
Section 8.3 based on the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant or obligation, will not preclude any right of the Stockholders to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation to the extent arising from a Third-Party Claim. Any indemnity payment under this Section 7.2(c) shall be satisfied, subject to compliance with Legal Requirements, with Eclipsys Common Stock to the extent necessary to preserve the status of the Merger followed by the Second Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(d) Any payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall, except as may otherwise be required by applicable Legal Requirements, be treated for all purposes as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes. For purposes of this Article VII, shares of Eclipsys Common Stock held by the Escrow Agent and released to Eclipsys or representing a portion of the Merger Consideration returned to Eclipsys by the Stockholders as indemnification for Damages shall be valued at the Average Market Price.
(e) For the sole purpose of appropriately apportioning any Taxes relating to a period that includes (but that would not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that is attributable to MediNotes for the part of such taxable period that ends on the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon income or receipts, the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Any Taxes that are the responsibility of the Stockholders pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(v) shall be paid to Eclipsys or MediNotes no later than five (5) days prior to the due date for the payment of such Taxes and, to the extent such Taxes are not paid to Eclipsys or MediNotes on or prior to the applicable due date, the amount of such Taxes shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the applicable underpayment rate (if higher), commencing on the applicable due date until the date of payment.
7.3 Time Limitations.
(a) Neither Eclipsys, nor the Stockholders will have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, other than those in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 4.3, 4.6(a), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11(b), 4.14 and 4.16, except to the extent that on or before the last day of the Survival Period, the party seeking recovery for Damages provides notice in writing pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 of a claim for Damages specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party.

77
Closing Date, except to the extent that on or before such date, the party seeking recovery for Damages provides the notice in writing pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 of a claim for Damages specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party. In such event, the party seeking recovery for Damages shall continue to have the right to recover hereunder, and to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, with respect to the matter or matters to which such claim relates until such claim has been finally resolved and payment made, if any.
(c) Subject to Section 7.4, a claim made under Section 7.2(a)(ii), with respect to actions of MediNotes or the Major Stockholders prior to the Closing, or Sections 7.2(a)(iii), (iv) or (v), must be made at any time prior to the earlier of (i) 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period or (ii) the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, except to the extent that on or before such date, the party seeking recovery for Damages provides the notice in writing pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 of a claim for Damages specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party. In such event, the party seeking recovery for Damages shall continue to have the right to recover hereunder, and to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, with respect to the matter or matters to which such claim relates until such claim has been finally resolved and payment made, if any.

(d) Any claims by the Eclipsys Indemnified Parties for claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) though (v) shall be first made against the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount, which shall be funded from the Purchase Price by all Effective Time Company Holders; provided, however that any claim by the Eclipsys Indemnified Parties against a Major Stockholder under Section 7.2(a)(i), with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of any
78
representation or warranty of such Major Stockholder, or Section 7.2(a)(ii), with respect to a breach of any covenant of such Major Stockholder, in the discretion of Eclipsys, may first be made directly against the Major Stockholder. Once the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount is exhausted, no Stockholder, other than the Major Stockholders, shall have any further liability under this Article VII, but each Major Stockholder shall continue to be liable, provided however that each Major Stockholders’ liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Damages (i) relating to (A) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in Article III or Article IV, other than those in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 4.3, 4.6(a), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11(b), 4.14 and 4.16, or (B) any matters under this Agreement described in Section 7.2(a)(ii), with respect to actions of MediNotes or the Major Stockholders prior to the Closing, or Section 7.2(a)(iii) and (iv), shall not exceed, in the aggregate, twenty five percent (25%) of the portion of the Purchase Price payable to such Major Stockholder, and provided, further that with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of a Major Stockholder under Article III, such Major Stockholder shall only be liable for such Major Stockholder’s breaches or inaccuracies. Subject to the second proviso to the foregoing sentence, each Major Stockholder shall be liable for up to one hundred percent of the portion of the Purchase Price payable to such Major Stockholder with respect to a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 4.3, 4.6(a), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11(b), 4.14 and 4.16 (and such Major Stockholder’s liability shall not be limited by anything contained in clause (i) above, even if such liability may also relate to a claim under Sections 7.2(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv)). For purposes of calculating such caps on the liability of a Major Stockholder, any amount contributed by such Major Stockholder to the Indemnification Amount paid to Eclipsys shall be counted towards the amount paid by such Major Stockholder. The Major Stockholders’ liability arising from claims or causes of actions arising from Stockholder Fraud, and with respect to claims arising under Section 7.2(a)(ii) with respect to actions of a Major Stockholder after the Closing, or Section 7.2(a)(v), shall not be subject to any cap or limitation on amount, provided that (1) with respect to claims arising under Section 7.2(a)(ii) with respect to actions of a Major Stockholder, each Major Stockholder shall only be liable for breaches by such Major Stockholder or breaches arising from the concerted action of such Major Stockholder, and (2) with respect to Stockholder Fraud, each Major Stockholder shall only be liable if such Major Stockholder committed, or conspired to commit, such Stockholder Fraud.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payments to Eclipsys for Damages shall be limited to the amount of Damages, if any, that remains after deducting therefrom (i) any insurance proceeds received by Eclipsys or MediNotes under policies in place prior to the Effective Time and any indemnity contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by Eclipsys or MediNotes from any third-party with respect thereto, and (ii) any provision or reserve with respect to such Damages reflected as a Current Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Eclipsys shall not be entitled to punitive damages unless assessed in connection with a Third-Party Claim.
(f) After Eclipsys receives indemnification as provided in this Agreement, Eclipsys shall rebate to the Escrow Agent, the Stockholders, or the Major Stockholders, as applicable, the actual cash tax benefits, if any, realized on account of the Damages to which such claim relates by Eclipsys in the first tax year in which such Damages are reflected on Eclipsys’s Tax Returns, to the extent such benefits are readily identifiable, and provided that the tax position producing such tax benefits has not been challenged by any tax authority within
79
eighteen months after the filing of the initial Tax Return reflecting the tax benefit. Any such rebate shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such eighteen month period, provided that any such rebate paid by Eclipsys may be recovered to the extent that the cash benefit upon which the rebate was based is subsequently invalidated by any tax authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit Eclipsys’s right to determine its tax position in its sole discretion.
(g) The Stockholders’ remedies (for indemnification or otherwise, whether such claim is based in contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of Eclipsys’s representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement shall be limited to those available under federal securities laws in connection with a private placement of securities under SEC Rule 506.
(h) Nothing herein shall limit, or be deemed to limit, the rights of Eclipsys against any Stockholder arising under the Investor Questionnaire delivered by such Stockholder prior to the date hereof or the letter of transmittal delivered by such Stockholder as described in Section 2.9(c).
(i) In no event shall any Stockholder be entitled to require that any claim be made or brought against any other Person, including MediNotes, before any claim for Damages is brought or claim is made by any Eclipsys Indemnified Party against such Stockholder or the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount hereunder.
7.5 Set-Off. In addition to any rights of set-off, off-set or other rights that Eclipsys may have at common law, by statute or otherwise, Eclipsys shall have the right to set-off against (i) the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Holdback Escrow Agreement and (ii) any amount that Eclipsys would otherwise be required to pay to any Major Stockholder, any amounts owing by any Major Stockholder to Eclipsys pursuant to this Article VII; provided, however, that (A) notwithstanding the exercise by Eclipsys of the right to set-off described in this Section 7.5, Eclipsys and the Stockholders shall remain obligated to first comply with their respective obligations described in Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 and (B) with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of a Major Stockholder under Article III, Eclipsys shall only have the right to set-off against the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Holdback Escrow Agreement or any amounts that Eclipsys would be required to pay such Major Stockholder. Neither the exercise of nor failure to exercise any such right of set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit Eclipsys in any manner in the enforcement of other remedies available to it hereunder and the exercise by Eclipsys of the right of set-off against the Escrow Account for the Indemnification Amount held under the Holdback Escrow Agreement or other amounts Eclipsys would otherwise be required to pay to any Major Stockholder shall not be the sole or exclusive remedy of Eclipsys for recovery of any amounts owed by the Stockholders to Eclipsys under this Article VII.
80
7.6 Procedures Relating to Indemnification Involving Third-Party Claims.
(a) In order for a party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against such party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim after receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall promptly deliver to the indemnifying party after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third-Party Claim. In the event that more than one Major Stockholder is an indemnifying party hereunder, the indemnified party may provide the notices and other communications required pursuant to this Section 7.6 solely to the Stockholders’ Representative.
(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it promptly so chooses and acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefor, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party, provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party. Should the indemnifying party assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates is an indemnified party in connection with a Third-Party Claim involving any then current employee, any then current client or supplier (including the owner of any Intellectual Property then used in the Business), Eclipsys may control the defense, at the cost of the indemnifying party, subject to reasonable input from the indemnifying party, with reasonableness determined by reference, among other things, to any conflicting interests between the indemnified party and indemnifying party.
(c) The indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party in connection with a Third-Party Claim for any period during which the indemnifying party has failed to assume or is not entitled to assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to one local counsel, where applicable). In connection with any Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall cooperate with each other in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnified or indemnifying party’s request) the provision to such party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, including deposition or trial testimony.
81
(d) If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not have the right to settle or compromise such claim, and shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim, which does not impose any equitable remedies and which the indemnified party reasonably determines would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party may settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim in good faith without the indemnifying party’s prior consent.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Third-Party Claim) if:
(i) the Third-Party Claim seeks an Order or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party which the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages, or
(ii) the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, that joint representation would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.
If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages. All claims under Section 7.2 other than Third-Party Claims shall be governed by Section 7.7.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eclipsys and MediNotes shall have the sole right to represent the interests of MediNotes in all Tax audits and administrative and court proceedings and to employ counsel of its choice (and, to the extent relating to Taxes for which the Major Stockholders are liable pursuant to this Agreement, at the Major Stockholders’ expense); provided, however, that, to the extent relating to Taxes for which the Major Stockholders are liable pursuant to Section 7.2, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the opportunity to participate, subject to the control of Eclipsys and MediNotes, at its own cost in any defense of such proceeding. Eclipsys and MediNotes shall not settle any Tax claim to the extent relating to Taxes for which the Major Stockholders are liable pursuant to Section 7.2 without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Stockholders’ Representative consents to any such settlement, neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor any Major Stockholder shall have any power or authority to object to the amount or validity of any claim by or on behalf of any indemnified party for indemnity with respect to such settlement.
82
7.7 Other Claims. A claim by any party for reimbursement, make whole or other recovery for Damages arising from any event, circumstance or condition not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by written notice to the party or parties from whom such recovery is sought (or to the Stockholders’ Representative, if such recovery is sought from more than one of the Major Stockholders) and shall be paid promptly after receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be liable to any other for any punitive damages pursuant to this Section 7.7.
7.8 Recovery in the Case of Strict Liability or Negligence. THE PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE VII SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARE BASED ON PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE CLAIMS OR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY LAW), AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE PERSON FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER RECOVERY IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR PROVES THE CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER RECOVERY, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER RECOVERY.
7.9 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.
(a) Should the Closing occur (i) the sole and exclusive remedies of Eclipsys and Merger Sub for any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of MediNotes and the Major Stockholders under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (except to the extent expressly provided in such Transaction Documents), whether such claims be in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the remedies provided in this Article VII, and Eclipsys and Merger Sub hereby waive, from and after the Closing, any and all other remedies which may be available at law or equity for any breach or inaccuracy or alleged breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of MediNotes and the Major Stockholders hereunder, and (ii) the Stockholders’ sole and exclusive remedies for any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of Eclipsys and Merger Sub under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (except to the extent expressly provided in such Transaction Documents), whether such claims be in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the remedies provided in this Article VII, and each of the Stockholders hereby waives, and by approval hereof by the Stockholders, shall be deemed to have waived, from and after the Closing, any and all other remedies which may be available at law or equity for any breach or inaccuracy or alleged breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of Eclipsys and Merger Sub hereunder. If the Closing does not occur, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties shall be as set forth in Section 9.5, and the provisions of this Article VII shall be inapplicable.
(b) Nothing in this Article VII will (i) limit the right of any party to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach or alleged or threatened breach of any covenant in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, provided that the exercise of any equitable relief shall be subject to Section 10.11, or (ii) limit the rights of the Major Stockholders to seek any remedies with respect to Fraud by Eclipsys, or Eclipsys to seek any remedies with respect to Stockholder Fraud in connection herewith or transactions contemplated hereby (including limiting the time such claims can be made, or making such claims subject to any deductibles set forth herein).
83
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the concept of “indemnity” as used in this Article VII is intended to include claims between or among the parties to this Agreement and not involving any third-party, as well as Third-Party Claims, and the limitation set forth in this Section 7.9 of remedies for breach or inaccuracies of representations and warranties under this Agreement is not intended to preclude claims between or among the parties, including but not limited to claims for breach of contract or Fraud, which claims are, however, intended to be governed by this Article VII.

89
right to pursue all legal remedies for such breach will survive such termination unimpaired, provided that MediNotes and the Major Stockholders each agree that to the extent they have incurred any Damages in connection with termination of this Agreement as set forth in the preceding clause, the maximum liability of Eclipsys and Merger Sub (and the sole and exclusive remedy of MediNotes and the Stockholders) for such Damages shall be limited in the aggregate to $800,000.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that Eclipsys may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations, or those of Merger Sub, under this Agreement to any other Subsidiary of Eclipsys without the consent of MediNotes or the Major Stockholders (which assignment shall not relieve Eclipsys of any obligation or liability under this Agreement).
(c) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
10.2 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect and in lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be automatically added as part of this Agreement a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the invalid or unenforceable provision as possible, provided that this Agreement as amended, (i) reflects the intent of the parties hereto, and (ii) does not change the bargained for consideration or benefits to be received by each party hereto.

10.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws or rules that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In the event of the bringing of any action or suit by a party hereto against another party hereunder arising out of or relating to this Agreement, which claim or suit is not subject to arbitration, as determined pursuant to Section 10.14, then in that event, the sole forum for resolving such disputes shall be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to such exclusive jurisdiction. This Section 10.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
10.5 Construction.
(a) The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise “or” is not exclusive, and “includes” means “includes, but is not limited to.”
(b) Each of the parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that each party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged between the parties shall not be construed against any party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any ambiguities in this Agreement will not be interpreted against any party that may have drafted this Agreement.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “commercially reasonable efforts” will not be deemed to require a Person to undertake extraordinary or unreasonable measures, including the payment of amounts in excess of normal and usual filing fees and processing fees.
10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including facsimile counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or PDF by electronic transmission shall be effective delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.
10.7 Parties In Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and, except for the Persons expressly set forth in Section 7.2 and Section 10.8, with respect to such sections, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including any employee or former employee of MediNotes (or any beneficiary or dependent thereof).
10.8 Prior Review and Counsel. Eclipsys and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and MediNotes and the Major Stockholders jointly, on the other hand, each represents and warrants that: (a) it was provided a fair and reasonable time in which to evaluate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to negotiate their respective terms and conditions; (b) it has regularly consulted with and received advice and counsel from one or more attorneys of its own
92
choice regarding the Merger, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the negotiation of each and every one of them, which attorney(s) is/are not and was/were not any of the other party’s attorneys; (c) it has not received any legal or other substantive advice or any attorney work product from any of the other party’s attorneys (including in-house attorneys), and it has not relied upon any comment, observation, remark, communication or information (whether oral or written) made or delivered by any of the other party’s attorneys (including in-house attorneys); and (d) it has read and fully understands this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents. Each party’s attorneys (including in-house attorneys) shall be entitled to rely on the other party’s representations and warranties made in this Section 10.8 as intended beneficiaries of such representations and warranties.
10.9 Waiver. No waiver of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to have been made by any party, unless such waiver is expressed in writing and signed by the party against which it is to be enforced (or the Stockholders’ Representative, with respect to matters relating to all Major Stockholders or all Stockholders). The waiver by any party of any right under this Agreement or to a remedy for the breach of any of the provisions herein shall not operate or be construed by the breaching party as a waiver of the non-breaching party’s remedies with respect to any other or continuing or subsequent breach.
10.10 Amendments. No amendment or modification in respect of this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto (or the Stockholders’ Representative, with respect to matters relating to all Major Stockholders or all Stockholders after the Closing Date).
10.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed by MediNotes or the Major Stockholders in accordance with the terms hereof and that Eclipsys shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by MediNotes and the Major Stockholders and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity.
10.12 Further Assurances. The parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as any other party hereto may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.
10.13 Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly limited herein, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law or equity.
10.14 Arbitration.
(a) Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Employment Agreements) or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination
93
of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Dallas, Texas, before a sole arbitrator; provided, however, if the claim and any counterclaim, in the aggregate, exceed $750,000, exclusive of interest and attorneys’ fees, the dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators as provided herein. If any such dispute, claim or controversy arises at the same time and relates to the same or similar facts, claims or events as any one or more other disputes, claims or controversies, such disputes, claims or controversies (including any dispute, claim or controversy under Section 2.11), shall, to the extent practicable, be combined in one arbitration proceeding under this Section 10.14, and in such event, the provisions of this section governing dispute resolution shall supersede any other provisions relating to such matters in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. If any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Employment Agreements) arises at the same time and relates to the same or similar facts, claims or events as a dispute, claim or controversy relating to or arising out of the Employment Agreement of any Stockholder, the employment of any Stockholder by Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates including MediNotes, such disputes, claims or controversies shall, to the extent practicable, be combined in one arbitration proceeding, and in such event, the provisions of this Agreement governing dispute resolution shall supersede any provisions relating to such matters in the Employment Agreement between any such Stockholder and Eclipsys or any Affiliate of Eclipsys. For the avoidance of doubt, no claim under any Employment Agreement shall be governed by this provision, unless it arises at the same time and relates to the same or similar facts, claims or events as a dispute, claim or controversy relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Employment Agreements).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dispute, claim or controversy arises out of or relates to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than a dispute solely relating to any Employment Agreement), the parties shall first try to resolve their dispute through informal and good faith negotiation between an authorized officer of MediNotes (or, after the Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative) and an authorized officer of Eclipsys, with authority to settle such dispute claim or controversy, before resorting to arbitration. Such persons shall meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute, claim or controversy within ten Business Days after a written request from either MediNotes (or, after the Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative) or Eclipsys to the other. Such representatives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute promptly and without the necessity of any formal arbitration proceeding relating thereto. The location, format and duration (not to exceed three Business Days, unless mutually agreed by such representatives) of these negotiations shall be left to the discretion of the representatives involved. If such negotiations do not lead to resolution of the underlying dispute, claim or controversy to the satisfaction of any party, then any party may provide notice of the election to pursue resolution by arbitration as set forth herein.
(c) The arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS pursuant to the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of JAMS. All arbitrators shall be retired or former district court or appellate court judges of any United States District Court or United States Court of Appeals, other than courts in the States of Iowa or Georgia, or such other person with such other qualifications as Eclipsys and MediNotes (or, after the Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative) may agree, and shall be selected within seven Business Days after receipt of
94
notice from one party to another that it intends to seek arbitration hereunder. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall govern the admissibility of evidence during the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The determination of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties and a judgment on such award or determination may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and such judgment shall be final and non-appealable. The decision and award of the arbitrator(s) shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion.
(d) All parties covenant not to appeal or otherwise litigate or file any court action that would seek to delay, amend, vacate or otherwise alter the determination of the arbitrator(s).
10.15 Costs and Fees. The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding under this Agreement, including any related appeal, will be entitled to recover its fees and costs incurred in the arbitration or proceeding (including attorneys and arbitration fees and costs) from the non-prevailing party, provided that the arbitrator or judge has the discretion to determine that there is no prevailing party or to eliminate or reduce the prevailing party’s recovery of its costs and fees to the extent that the arbitrator or judge determines that full recovery thereof would be unreasonable or disproportionate to the harm suffered by the prevailing party. In absence of a determination of a prevailing party, the parties shall split equally all costs and fees. “Costs and fees” mean all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration or other proceeding, including the arbitrators’ fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses such as copying and telephone, court costs, witness fees, expert costs and fees, and attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses and other costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment or order. For the purposes of this section, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses shall include all such fees, costs and expenses incurred in (i) appeals, (ii) post-judgment motions, (iii) contempt proceedings, (iv) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third-party examinations, (v) discovery, and (vi) bankruptcy litigation.
