These
additional payments shall be payable to the Sellers on an annual basis and
in
each case within 45 days after the close of the calendar year. Such amounts
will
be
allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their pro rata share
ownership
of the
Company. All calculations to be made in connection with these additional
payments
shall be
determined by the independent certified public accountants of the Buyer (such
determination to be final and binding on the parties hereto) using the same
revenue, income and expense recognition policies and practices as have been
historically used by the Buyer prior to the date hereof.
Contingent
Payment.
(e) As
additional Consideration, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive a contingent
payment (the “Contingent Payment”) consisting of common stock (the “Common
Stock”) of HSS in accordance with this Section 1.5. The Contingent Payment, if
any, shall be payable annually over a period of three years. In no event shall
the Contingent Payment, in the aggregate, exceed 400,000 shares of Common Stock
(the “Contingent Payment Cap”). Upon reaching the Contingent Payment Cap, all
further obligations of Buyer and HSS to pay the Contingent Payment will
terminate. The initial Contingent Payment shall be based on the period beginning
on the Closing Date and ending December 31, 2006 (“Initial Period”). The
Contingent Payment shall have as its baseline relationship (x) the issuance
of
100,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Base Payment”) and (y) the Company’s
achieving at least 95% of the Operating Revenue projected from its operations in
each of the Initial Period and the calendar years 2007 and 2008 (collectively,
the “Calculation Periods”) as specified on the pro forma operating statement
attached hereto as Schedule
1.5
(the
“Period Income Goal”). Thus, if the Company meets its Period Income Goal exactly
in any Calculation Period, HSS will issue 100,000 shares of Common Stock to
the
Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.5. If the Company’s Operating
Revenue in any Calculation Period is greater than the applicable Period Income
Goal, then the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Sellers shall
be
the sum of (x) the Base Payment, plus (y) the product of (a) the percentage
of
Operating Revenue in excess of 95% of the applicable projected Operating Revenue
times (b) the Base Payment. If the Company’s Operating Revenue in any
Calculation Period is less than the applicable Period Income Goal, then the
number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Sellers shall be the difference
of (x) the Base Payment, less (y) the product of (a) the percentage of Operating
Revenue below 95% of the applicable projected period Operating Revenue times
(b)
the Based Payment.
3
(f) By
way of
example, if the actual Operating Revenue of the Company in the Initial Period
is
100% of the projected Operating Revenue for the Initial Period, then the initial
Contingent Payment will be 100,000 shares plus
(5% of
100,000) or 105,000 shares. If the actual Operating Revenue of the Company
in
the Initial Period is 90% of the projected Operating Revenue for the Initial
Period, then the initial Contingent Payment will be 100,000 shares minus
(5% of
100,000) or 95,000 shares.
(g) Upon
a
Change of Control event occurring during the times set forth below, Sellers
shall receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as set forth below
(provided that Buyer shall be responsible for the issuance set forth in this
subsection (c) only if the third party (if any) involved in the Change of
Control event does not assume the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement):

(h) HSS
shall
issue any shares due Sellers under this Section 1.5 on an annual basis and
within 45 days after the close of the applicable calendar year (a “Stock
Distribution”). At each Stock Distribution, HSS shall instruct its securities
transfer agent to issue and allocate shares of Common Stock in the names of
the
Sellers in accordance
with the Seller’s pro rata share ownership
of the
Company as of the date of Closing. HSS shall notify each Seller of the number
of
shares issued to such Person and the date of issuance. HSS shall further
instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to segregate and account separately for
the
shares of Common Stock issued to each Seller in a Stock Distribution, with
a
copy of such instruction sent to the applicable Seller.
(i) All
shares of Common Stock issued in a Stock Distribution shall be subject to a
3-year lock-up period ending on the third anniversary of the first Stock
Distribution made pursuant to this Section 1.5. The form of the lock-up
agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
A
(the
“Lock Up Agreement”), and the shares issued in a Stock Distribution shall be
held in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement,
the
form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
B
(the
“Escrow Agreement”). During the term of the lock-up period, HSS agrees to adjust
the number of shares issued to each Seller consistent with any stock dividend,
reverse dividend splits, calls or redemptions effected as to any share of Common
Stock and to instruct the Escrow Agent in writing of such adjustment, and
provide a copy of such instruction to the applicable Seller. HSS agrees, and
the
Lock Up agreement and Escrow Agreement shall recognize, that Seller has the
right during the lock-up period (i) to receive directly any dividend or other
cash payments made by HSS in respect of the Common Stock issued in the Seller’s
name and (ii) to vote any shares of Common Stock issued in its name.
4
(j) All
calculations to be made in connection with the Contingent Payment shall be
determined by the independent certified public accountants of the Buyer (such
determination to be final and binding on the parties hereto) using the same
revenue, income and expense recognition policies and practices as have been
historically used by the Buyer prior to the date hereof.

regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1933 Act”) or otherwise, and the
issuance of such securities is intended to be exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act as a “transaction by an issuer not involving any
public offering” and that reliance on such exemption is predicated, in part, on
the Sellers’ representations and warranties contained herein. The Sellers
further acknowledge that the securities are being obtained solely for the
Seller’s own account and for investment purposes only, within the meaning of the
1933 Act, and that the Sellers have no plan, intention, contract, understanding,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate
or
otherwise transfer to any person the securities or any part thereof. The Sellers
understand that
the
securities
are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws
inasmuch as such securities
are
being acquired from the Buyer in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be
resold without registration under the 1933 Act, only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, the Sellers are familiar with SEC Rule 144,
as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby
and by the 1933 Act.

cooperated with, any Person (other than Buyer or any officer or representative
of Buyer) concerning any Third Party Transaction (as defined below). “Third

At all
times following the Closing Date, each of the Sellers and any corporation,
partnership or trust controlled, directly or indirectly, by any of the parties
shall maintain the confidentiality of, and shall not use for the benefit of
itself or others, any confidential information concerning the business or the
assets of the Company (the “Confidential Information”); provided, however, that
this paragraph (a) shall not restrict (i) disclosure by either party of any
Confidential Information required by applicable statute, rule or regulation
or
any court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the non-disclosing party
is
given notice and an adequate opportunity to contest such disclosure, (ii) any
disclosure on a confidential basis to the respective attorneys, accountants,
lenders and investment bankers of the parties, (iii) any disclosure of
information which is available publicly as of the date of this Agreement, which,
after the date of this Agreement, becomes available publicly through no fault
of

unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, either party may at any time furnish any required information
to
the SEC regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
24
4.4 Non-Compete.
(a) Each
of
the Sellers covenants and agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of each of
its
Affiliates that from the date hereof and until the third anniversary of the
Closing Date, neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates will directly
or
indirectly, engage in or have any interest in any sole proprietorship,
partnership, corporation, limited liability company or business, whether as
an
employee, partner, agent, security holder, consultant or otherwise, that
directly or indirectly (or through any affiliated entity) engages in the
development and sales of software products for the operation of home health
agencies in the geographic areas in which the Company operated or was actively
planning on operating as of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Area”).
(b) Each
of
the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that the covenants provided for in this
Section are reasonable and necessary in terms of time, area and line of business
to protect the Buyer’s legitimate business interests as a Buyer of the Shares,
which includes protecting valuable confidential business information,
substantial relationships with customers throughout the Restricted Area and
customer goodwill associated with the Company and its business. Each of the
Sellers expressly authorizes the enforcement of the covenants provided for
in
this Section by (i) the Buyer, and (ii) any successors to the ownership of
the
Shares and/or the business of the Company. To the extent that the covenant
provided for in this Section may later be deemed by a court to be too broad
to
be enforced with respect to its duration or with respect to any particular
activity or geographic area, the court making such determination shall have
the
power to reduce the duration or scope of the provision. The provision as
modified shall then be enforced.
(c) It
is
agreed by each of the Sellers on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates
that Buyer would be irreparably damaged by reason of any violation of this
Section by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates, and that any remedy at law
for breach of such provisions would be inadequate. Therefore, the Buyer shall
be
entitled to seek and obtain injunctive or other equitable relief (including,
but
not limited to, a temporary restraining order, a temporary injunction or a
permanent injunction) against each of the Sellers and their respective
Affiliates, for breach or threatened breach of such provisions and without
the
necessity of proving actual monetary loss. It is expressly understood by each
of
the Sellers that this injunctive or other equitable relief shall not be the
Buyer’s exclusive remedy for any breach of this covenant and the Buyer shall be
entitled to seek any other relief or remedy that may be available by contract,
statute, law or otherwise for any breach hereof. It is agreed that the Buyer
shall also be entitled to recover any and all attorneys’ fees and expenses in
the enforcement of the provisions hereof.
4.5 Lock
Up Agreement.
On the
Closing Date, the Buyer and each of the Sellers shall execute a three-year
lock
up agreement (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) with respect
to
the shares of Common Stock.
4.6 Escrow
Agreement.
On the
Closing Date, the Buyer and each of the Sellers shall execute an escrow
agreement (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B).
4.7 Employee
Matters.
The
parties agree that the Company employees will remain as employees at will of
the
Company following Closing and that HSS may select such employee benefits as
it
deems appropriate consistent with its human resource policies in effect from
time to time. All such employees will qualify to participate in all benefit
plans presently
and hereinafter offered by HSS to its employees as well as the HSS stock option
plan, subject to the general eligibility and participation provisions set forth
in such plans.
25
4.8 Non-disparagement.
At all
times following the Closing Date, the Sellers will refrain from taking any
action or making any statements which may injure or disparage the goodwill
or
reputation of the Buyer or its shareholders, customers, officers, directors,
attorneys, employees, subsidiaries, related entities, successors and assigns
within the business community or to the public at large.
4.9 Preparation
of Financial Statements.
The
Sellers agree, at all times after the Closing Date, to cooperate fully with
Buyer in the preparation of the financial statements that are required by Buyer
to comply with its reporting obligations and requirements set forth on Form
8-K
and otherwise in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder.
5. Tax
Matters.
5.1 Liability
for Taxes.
(a) The
Sellers shall be severally, but not jointly, liable for and shall indemnify
the
Buyer, subject in all respects to the limits set forth in Article 6 below,
for
Buyer’s losses or expenses incurred as a direct result of the Company’s failure
to pay any Taxes levied on the Company for any taxable year or period that
ends
on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) and, with respect to
any portion of a taxable year or period beginning before and ending after the
Closing Date (“Straddle Period”), the portion of such Straddle Period ending on
and including the Closing Date, and (ii) all liabilities imposed on the Company
on or before the Closing Date under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or
any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) for Taxes of the Company
or any other corporation which is affiliated with the Company.
(b) The
Buyer
shall be liable for, and shall indemnify the Sellers and their respective
Affiliates for, all Taxes imposed on the Company or any of its Affiliates with
respect to the Company for any taxable year or period that begins after the
Closing Date and, with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such
Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.
(c) For
purposes of this Section 5.1, whenever it is necessary to determine the
liability for Taxes of the Company for a portion of a Straddle
Period:
(i) real,
personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) for the Pre-Closing
Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire
Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and
the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period;
and
26
(ii) all
other
Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined by assuming that the
Company had a taxable year or period that ended at the close of the Closing
Date.

to Consideration.
The
Buyer and each of the Sellers agree to report any indemnification payment made
by the Company under Section 5.1 as an adjustment to the Consideration,
contribution to capital, or other non-taxable amount to the extent that there
is
substantial authority for such reporting position under applicable
law.
5.3 Transfer
and Conveyance Taxes.
The
Sellers shall be liable for and shall pay all applicable sales, transfer,
recording, deed, stamp and other similar taxes resulting from the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6. Survival;
Indemnification.
6.1 Indemnification
by Sellers.
Sellers
agree, severally, but not jointly, to indemnify and hold Buyer, HSS, their
Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (“Buyer
Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all actual Claims and Damages Losses
incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of (i) any
representation or warranty made herein or in any certificate delivered by the
Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any covenant or agreement made by
the
Sellers in this Agreement.
6.2 Indemnification
by Buyer and HSS.
Buyer
and HSS agree, severally, but not jointly, to indemnify and hold Sellers, their
Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (“Seller
Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all actual Claims and Damages Losses
incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of (i) any
representation or warranty made herein or in any certificate delivered by the
Buyer or HSS pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any covenant or agreement made
by Buyer or HSS in this Agreement.
6.3 Limitations.
(a) Buyer
or
HSS (“Buyers”) shall not be entitled to make a claim against Sellers for
indemnity pursuant to this Article 6 except to the extent that the aggregate
amount of Claims and Damages incurred by Buyers exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket”).
Once the Basket is exceeded, Buyers shall be entitled to indemnification under
this Article 6 for all of the Claims and Damages in excess of the
Basket.
(b) The
aggregate amount of actual Claims and Damages recoverable by Buyers pursuant
to
indemnifiable claims under this Article 6, shall be limited to an amount equal
to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Cap”). Buyers shall not be
entitled to make a claim against Sellers for indemnity pursuant to this Article
6 to the extent such claim would cause the aggregate amount of Buyers’ Claims
and Damages indemnified by the Sellers to exceed the Cap.
(c) Sellers
shall have no obligation for any Claims or Damages suffered by Buyers unless
Sellers shall have received a Notice of Claim with respect to such Claims or
Damages on or before the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date.
27
(d) If
the
Closing occurs, except for remedies based upon fraud and except for equitable
remedies, the remedies and limitations provided in this Article 6 of this
Agreement constitute the sole and exclusive remedies for recovery based upon
the
inaccuracy, untruth, incompleteness or breach of any representation or warranty
of any party contained herein or in any certificate, Schedule or Exhibit
furnished by any party in connection herewith, or based upon the failure of
any
party to perform any covenant, agreement or undertaking required by the terms
hereof to be performed by such party.
6.4 Subrogation.
Upon
payment in full of any Claims or Damages under this Article 6 or the payment
of
any judgment or settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim under this
Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such
payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any person or entity
with
respect to the subject matter of such Claims and Damage or Third Party
Claim.
6.5 Computation
of Claims and Damages.
Whenever an Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify and hold harmless an
Indemnified Party from and against and hold the Indemnified Party harmless
from,
or to reimburse the Indemnified Party for, any item of Claim or Damage under
this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the provisions of this
Article 6, pay the Indemnified Party the amount of the Claim or Damage reduced
by (i) any amounts to which the Indemnified Party actually recovers from third
parties in connection with such Claim or Damage (“Reimbursements”), and reduced
by (ii) the Net Proceeds of any insurance policy payable to the Indemnified
Party with respect to such Claim or Damage. For purposes of this Section, “Net
Proceeds” shall mean the insurance proceeds actually paid, less any deductibles,
co-payments, premium increases, retroactive premiums or other payment
obligations (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection) that
relates to or arises from the making of the claim for indemnification. The
Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to pursue Reimbursements or
Net
Proceeds that may reduce or eliminate Claims and Damages and otherwise to
mitigate Claims and Damages. If any Indemnified Party receives any Reimbursement
or Net Proceeds after an indemnification payment is made which relates thereto,
the Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party such amount
of the indemnification payment as would not have been paid had the Reimbursement
or Net Proceeds reduced the original payment at such time or times as and to
the
extent that such Reimbursement or Net Proceeds is actually received. The
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents
and representatives all pertinent records, materials and information, and
provide reasonable access during normal business hours to the Indemnified
Party’s employees, properties, books and records, and shall otherwise cooperate
with and assist the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives in
reviewing the propriety and the amount of any Claims or Damages, including,
without limitation, the availability and/or amounts of Reimbursements and Net
Proceeds.
6.6 Notice
of Claims.
Upon
obtaining actual knowledge of any Claim or Damage which has given rise to,
or
could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, the party
seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, as promptly as
reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following the date
the Indemnified Party has obtained such knowledge, give written notice (a
“Notice of Claim”) of such claim to the party or parties from which
indemnification is or will be sought under this Article 6 (the “Indemnifying
Party”). The Indemnified Party shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party in good
faith and in reasonable detail such information as the Indemnified Party may
have with respect to such indemnification claim (including copies of any
summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any
written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or
asserting the same). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the
performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation
of
the Indemnifying Party to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless,
except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have materially adversely
affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against, settle or satisfy
any liability, damage, loss, claim or demand for which such Indemnified Party
is
entitled to indemnification hereunder.
28
6.7 Defense
of Third Party Claims.
If any
claim set forth in the Notice of Claim given by an Indemnified Party pursuant
to
Section 6.6 hereof is a claim asserted by a third party, the Indemnifying Party
shall have 30 days after the date that the Notice of Claim is given or deemed
given by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of
the
Indemnifying Party’s election to defend such third party claim on behalf of the
Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party
claim, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party
and
its agents and representatives all witnesses, pertinent records, materials
and
information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified
Party’s control as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party and shall
otherwise cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of
such third party claim. Regardless of which party is defending such third party
claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or compromise such third
party claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying
Party elects to defend such third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall
have
the right to participate in the defense of such third party claim, at the
Indemnified Party’s own expense. In the event, however, that the Indemnified
Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying
Party of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party may present
such
counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Party may employ
separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding
and
the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the provisions of this Article 6 pay
the
reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel when due under such counsel’s
customary billing practices. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend
such third party claim or does not defend such third party claim in good faith,
the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right
or
remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend
such third party claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party’s defense
of or its participation in the defense of any such third party claim shall
not
in any way diminish or lessen the indemnification obligations of the
Indemnifying Party under this Article 6. If the Indemnifying Party subsequently
reasonably determines that the Indemnified Party is not defending such third
party claim in good faith, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in
addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, to elect to assume
the defense of such third party claim and, to the extent that the Indemnified
Party has not defended such third party claim in good faith, and whether or
not
the Indemnifying Party shall have subsequently assumed the defense thereof,
the
indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 6
shall
be reduced or eliminated to the extent that such failure to defend in good
faith
shall have materially adversely affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to
defend against, settle or satisfy any liability, damage, loss, claim or demand
for which such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification
hereunder.
