THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER is made and entered into as of May 28, 2002, by and among NDCHEALTH CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), NDC ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and TECHRX INCORPORATED, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”).

B.

E. As a condition and a further inducement to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, the employees of the Company set forth on Exhibit A (the “Key Employees”) are concurrently herewith executing Voting and Lock-Up Agreements with Parent and Merger Sub in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Voting and Lock-Up Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders have agreed to vote the shares of Company Capital Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger and to not dispose of Company Capital Stock acquired through the exercise of Company Options for the time period specified therein.

F. As a condition and a further inducement to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, the Key Employees are concurrently herewith executing Restrictive Covenant Agreements in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Restrictive Covenant Agreements”).

G. Between the date hereof and the Effective Time, Parent may (but is not required to) offer to purchase from any or all stockholders of the Company, and from holders of Company Warrants, shares of the Company Capital Stock and the Company Warrants on the terms set forth herein.

H. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend that the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, subject to certain exceptions and contingencies, and in furtherance thereof intend that this Agreement shall be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354(a) and 361(a) of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises, representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties), intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Section 1.1(b) below, at the Effective Time, the Company shall be merged with and into Merger Sub in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law and Pennsylvania Law. The separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease, and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

(b) In the event Parent is unable to obtain the opinion described in Article 5.17 herein or for any other reason whatsoever, if Parent so elects (in its sole and absolute discretion for any or no reason), at the Effective Time (and in lieu of Section 1.1(a) above), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law and Pennsylvania Law. The separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation governed by the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.17, and unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) is expected to take place on or about May 31, 2003, and will take place following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, at the principal offices of the Company, unless another place or time is agreed to by Parent and the Company. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law, and the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in accordance with the relevant provisions of Pennsylvania Law. The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will

become effective on the later to occur (the “Effective Time”) of the date and at the time (a) the Certificate of Merger is accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (b) the Articles of Merger are accepted by the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

1.3 Effect of the Merger on Constituent Corporations. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and Pennsylvania Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub and the Company shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of Merger Sub and the Company shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Surviving Corporation. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, of the corporation that continues in existence pursuant to Section 1.1 shall be those of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

1.5 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders of any of the capital stock of the Company, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 1.8, each share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 1.9 or any shares held by the Company as treasury stock) will be cancelled, extinguished and converted automatically into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock (or compliance with Section 1.12 regarding lost certificates), one of the following amounts per share of Company Common Stock as determined in Parent’s absolute and sole discretion at or prior to Closing:

(i) a cash payment equal to the Company Closing Price; or

(ii) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Company Closing Price, by (B) the Parent Closing Price (the “Exchange Ratio”); or

(iii) a combination of (A) a cash payment, as determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion, in an amount less than the Company Closing Price and (B) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1)

the difference of the Company Closing Price minus the cash payment determined by Parent pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(iii), by (2) the Parent Closing Price; provided, that, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP delivers the legal opinion contemplated by Section 5.17 to the extent the Merger Consideration is calculated pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(iii). For purposes of example only, if the Company Closing Price is equal to $6.00, the Parent Closing Price is equal to $32.00, and Parent determines to pay $2.00 in cash, then the Merger Consideration to be received for one share of Company Common Stock shall equal $2.00 in cash and 0.125 shares of Parent Common Stock.

(b) Conversion of Company Preferred Stock. Subject to Section 1.8, each share of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 1.9) will be cancelled, extinguished and converted automatically into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Preferred Stock (or compliance with Section 1.12 regarding lost certificates), one of the following amounts per share of Company Preferred Stock as determined in Parent’s absolute and sole discretion at or prior to Closing:

(i) a cash payment equal to (A) the Company Closing Price multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that such share of Company Preferred Stock is convertible into immediately prior to the Effective Time (calculated pursuant to the optional conversion provisions contained in the Articles of Incorporation); or

(ii) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that such shares of Company Preferred Stock is convertible into immediately prior to the Effective Time (calculated pursuant to the optional conversion provisions contained in the Articles of Incorporation); or

(iii) a combination of (A) a cash payment, as determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion, in an amount less than (1) the Company Closing Price, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that such share of Company Preferred Stock is convertible into immediately prior to the Effective Time (calculated pursuant to the optional conversion provisions contained in the Articles of Incorporation), and (B) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the difference of the Company Closing Price minus the cash payment determined by Parent pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(iii), by (b) the Parent Closing Price, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that such share of Company Preferred Stock is convertible into immediately prior to the Effective Time (calculated pursuant to the optional conversion provisions contained in the Articles of Incorporation); provided, that, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP delivers the legal opinion contemplated by Section 5.17 to the extent the Merger Consideration is calculated pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(iii). For purposes of example only, if the Company Closing Price is equal to $6.00, the Parent Closing Price is equal to $32.00, Parent determines to pay $2.00 in cash, and the applicable conversion ratio of such share of Company Preferred Stock is 1.1:1, then the Merger Consideration to be received for one share of such Company Capital Stock shall equal $2.00 in cash and 0.1375 shares of Parent Common Stock.

(c) Cancellation of Parent-Owned and Company-Owned Stock. In the event the Merger occurs pursuant to Section 1.1(a), each share of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or the Company or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company. In the event the Merger occurs pursuant to Section 1.1(b), each share of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or the Company or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding from and after the Effective Time.

(d) Company Options and Company Stock Plan.

(i) All unexpired and unexercised Company Options then outstanding, whether vested or unvested, shall be treated in accordance with the Human Resources Agreement.

(ii) Company employees shall be permitted at Closing (but not prior thereto) to exercise all vested Company Options on a cashless basis; provided, however, that any Key Employees that exercise Company Options pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) shall have entered into a Voting and Lock-Up Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(e) Company Warrants. Any Company Warrants not exercised at the Closing shall be converted automatically into Parent Warrants upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the applicable Company Warrant, unless the terms of such Company Warrant require or permit the Company, at its option, to cash-out the Company Warrant (whether in a cashless transaction or otherwise), in which case the Merger Consideration (net of the exercise price) shall be paid to the holder of the Company Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. In the event the Merger occurs pursuant to Section 1.1(a), each share of Common Stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding from and after the Effective Time. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(g) Reduction to Company Closing Price.

(i) If the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) breaches any of its representations or warranties as of the date of this Agreement, the Company Closing Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (X) the Damages arising in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty, by (Y) the total number of outstanding shares of Company Stock Equivalents on a fully diluted and on an “as if converted to Company Common Stock basis”; provided, however, that the Company Closing Price shall not be reduced pursuant to Section 1.6(g)(i) until the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from any other breaches of any representations or warranties) exceeds $3,000,000 (after which point the total amount of all Damages shall be used to calculate the Company Closing Price pursuant to this

Section 1.6(g)(i)); provided, further, that Damages shall not exceed the lesser of $26,500,000 and the Offset Amount.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the limitations on the reduction of the Company Closing Price set forth in Section 1.6(g)(i) shall apply to any breach by the Company of its representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement that is the result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company.

(iii) If (1) the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) violates Section 4.1(i), or (2) unless otherwise agreed to by Parent and Company, Parent shall have contributed working capital (which shall specifically include payments to (i) Parent under the Services Agreement between Parent and Company dated July 1, 2000, and (ii) Cardinal Healthcare to satisfy the indebtedness to Cardinal Healthcare pursuant to the Promissory Note dated April 2, 2001, and shall specifically exclude (i) capital expenditures to the ASP hosted by Parent, (ii) restructuring costs associated with this transaction, and (iii) costs and expenses of the Company in connection with this transaction as specified in Section 5.5 hereof, and assumes a payment of $11,375,000 by [****] pursuant to the Term Sheet and Loan Agreement between Company and [****] to the Company after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time in an amount exceeding $13,900,000, the Company Closing Price shall be reduced (after any reduction pursuant to Section 1.6(g)(i) above) by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (X) the sum of the indebtedness incurred by the Company in violation of Section 4.1(i) (on a dollar-for-dollar basis), and the excess amount of working capital contributed to the Company by Parent, by (Y) the total number of outstanding shares of Company Stock Equivalents on a fully diluted and on an “as if converted to Company Common Stock basis.”

(h) Additional Issuances of Securities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) violates Section 4.1(e) hereof (other than for any violation of Section 3 of the Letter Agreement), the Company Closing Price shall equal (after any adjustment pursuant to Section 1.6(g) above) the product of:

(X) the Company Closing Price, multiplied by

(Y) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the difference of (a) the total number of outstanding shares of Company Stock Equivalents on a fully diluted and on an “as if converted to Company Common Stock basis” on the date hereof, minus (b) the total number of outstanding shares of Company Stock Equivalents on a fully diluted and on an “as if converted to Company Common Stock basis” purchased by Parent pursuant to Section 1.14 hereof, minus (c) the total number of shares of Company Stock Equivalents on a fully diluted and on an “as if converted to Company Common Stock basis” purchased by the Company after the date hereof and prior to Closing with the prior consent of Parent, by (2) the total number of outstanding shares of Company Stock Equivalents on a fully diluted and on an “as if converted to Company Common Stock basis” at the Effective Time.

[****] Confidential treatment requested. Confidential portions of this page have been redacted and are subject of a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.7 Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock combination, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, but excluding any stock dividend required on the date hereof with respect to the Company Series B Preferred Stock and the Company Series C Preferred Stock), reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock the effective date of which occurs after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

1.8 Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger. Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall be entitled to receive from Parent, in lieu thereof, an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (a) such fraction, multiplied by (b) the Parent Closing Price.

1.9 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Generally. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Pennsylvania Law, and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters’ rights (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6, if applicable, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by Pennsylvania Law.

(b) Withdrawal or Loss of Right. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.9(a) above, if any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who demands appraisal of such shares under Pennsylvania Law shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then, as of the later of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.6, without interest thereon, upon surrender to the Company of the certificate representing such shares in accordance with Section 1.10.

(c) Notice. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of its receipt of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Capital Stock and withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to each such demand. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Capital Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.10 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Parent Common Stock. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with Section 1.6, the Merger Consideration (including a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock and cash) and a sufficient

amount of cash to permit the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.8, to be paid in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock as of the Effective Time.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) and which shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6, (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which letter of transmittal shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions contained therein, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.8, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Cash Payment or on any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Certificates surrendered for exchange by any Person constituting a Company Affiliate for purposes of Section 5.13 shall not be exchanged until Parent has received from such Person a Company Affiliate Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

(c) Transfers of Ownership. If the Merger Consideration is to be issued pursuant to the Merger in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that (i) the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of the Merger Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable and (ii) if requested by Parent, the Person surrendering such Certificate shall provide Parent with an opinion of counsel, acceptable to Parent, that such transfer does not violate state or federal securities Laws.

(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.10, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

1.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock; Withholding Rights.

(a) The Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 1.

(b) Each of Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 1 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Capital Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

1.12 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates evidencing shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that Parent or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to provide an indemnity or deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.13 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, subject to certain exceptions and contingencies. The parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as the “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354(a) and 361(a) of the Code and as described in Sections 1.368-2(a) and 1.368-3(a) of the Income Tax Regulations.

1.14 Purchases Prior to Closing. At any time after the date of this Agreement and ending six (6) months prior to the Closing Date, Parent may, at its option and with sole responsibility therefor, offer to acquire shares of the Company Capital Stock owned by certain stockholders of the Company and to acquire Company Warrants in one or more private placement transactions in exchange for either cash, shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be registered for resale in accordance with Section 5.1 if Parent purchases at least 2,500,000 shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Warrants (on an “as-if-converted” basis) pursuant to this Section 1.14) or a combination thereof; provided, however, that to the extent Parent purchases in excess of 250,000 shares of Company Capital Stock (on an “as-if-converted” basis), pursuant to this Section 1.14 from holders of Company Series A Preferred Stock, Parent shall be required to make an offer to purchase all shares of Company Capital Stock held by the

holders of Company Series A Preferred Stock as of the date hereof (regardless of whether such shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock have been converted to Company Common Stock after the date hereof). To the extent applicable, Parent acknowledges the existence of that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated September 29, 1999, as amended. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall have no obligation to effect any transaction pursuant to this Section 1.14.

In rendering its opinion, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP may require and rely upon customary representations contained in letters from the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and stockholders of the Company. Each of Parent and the Company will timely satisfy, or cause to be timely satisfied, all applicable tax reporting and filing requirements contained in the Code and Income Tax Regulations with respect to the Merger.

Parent shall have the right to appoint three (3) nominees and the Company Designee shall have the right to appoint two (2) nominees.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will not alter any requirements for coverage (as described in Section 410(b) of the Code and regulations thereunder) under any Benefit Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Company shall enter into the Human Resources Agreement in substantially the form as attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Human Resources Agreement”).

Company and a representative of the applicable third party or third parties with respect to satisfaction of an implementation Company Milestone; and certification by a financial officer of the Company and verified by the appropriate Parent counterpart with respect to a financial Company Milestone).

(f)

The Company Designee and its outside advisors (accounting and legal) shall have access to such information as is reasonably necessary to enforce the Company’s rights under the Agreement, and Parent shall cooperate with the Company Designee in connection therewith. The written determination of the Company Designee and Parent with respect to any disagreement with respect to the matters set forth herein shall be final; provided, however, that if the Company Designee and Parent cannot come to a final agreement with respect to any matter, such matter shall be subject to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 8.11 of the Agreement.
