H. Filing of 1998 and 1999 Short Period Income Tax Returns of
Company. Messrs. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx shall have prepared and shall file or cause

time prescribed by law, all required federal, state and local income tax returns
of the Company for calendar year 1998 and for the income tax period from January

Shareholders shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay and shall pay,
prior to delinquency, all taxes due with respect to the Final Returns, which
shall include, without limitation, all taxes arising from all operations and
activities of the Company prior to the Effective Date. Prior to the filing of

in addition to any other officer position Xxxxxxx may hold pursuant to his
Employment Agreement, ("Tax Officer") for the sole purpose of causing to be
prepared and signing and filing the Final Returns, and Xxxxxxx shall have no
authority of any other kind or nature whatsoever and no ability to bind ISI
and/or InfoCure to any obligation or commitment whatsoever as Tax
33
39
Officer. The Final Returns shall be signed by Xxxxxxx, in his capacity as Tax
Officer, and by the certified public accounting firm (anticipated to be Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLP) which prepares the Final Returns; and immediately
after the Final Returns are signed by Xxxxxxx, his position as Tax Officer shall
automatically terminate. At least ten (10) business days prior to the date the
Final Returns are filed, Xxxxxxx shall deliver copies of the proposed Final
Returns to ISI and InfoCure for their review and comment. If any Taxing
Authority, such as, but not limited to, the Internal Revenue Service or the
Georgia Department of Revenue, issues a notice of deficiency to ISI and/or
InfoCure with respect to the Final Returns, ISI shall be the party entitled to
contest any such deficiency notice; provided, however, that if the Shareholders,
or any of the Shareholders, would be obligated to pay such taxes, or to
indemnify ISI and/or InfoCure, for, any tax deficiency or liability related
thereto, then (i) the Shareholders, as a group, hereby appoint Messrs. Xxxxxxx
and Xxxxx as their representatives, together with an attorney or accountant of
Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx (whose fees and expenses shall be borne by
Shareholders), to participate in the contesting of such deficiency and (ii)
neither ISI or InfoCure shall settle or compromise the liability with respect
thereto without the prior written consent of Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that Messrs. Xxxxxxx and
Xxxxx shall be entitled to consent to any such settlement or compromise on
behalf of all of the Shareholders. In the event ISI or InfoCure requests, in
writing, a consent of Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx for any such settlement or
compromise and Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx fail to respond to such request within
twenty (20) days of the delivery thereof, then such failure to respond shall
constitute consent to such settlement or compromise that shall be binding on the
Shareholders.
I. Filing of Amended Income Tax Returns of Company. At any
time after the Effective Date, Messrs. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx shall have the
authority to have prepared and file or cause to be filed, at the expense of
Messrs. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, with the appropriate federal, state and local
government agencies (hereinafter, "Taxing Authorities"), within the time
prescribed by law, any appropriate or required federal, state and local income
tax returns of the Company for any periods ending prior to the Effective Date
(the "Amended Returns"), and Shareholders shall be (i) jointly and severally
obligated to pay and shall pay any taxes due with respect to the Amended
Returns, which shall include, without limitation, all taxes arising from all
operations and activities of the Company prior to the Effective Date and (ii)
entitled to receive any income tax refunds generated as a result of any such
Amended Returns. ISI and/or InfoCure hereby irrevocably appoint Xxxxxxx an
officer of ISI and/or InfoCure, in addition to any other officer position
Xxxxxxx may hold pursuant to his Employment Agreement, ("Tax Officer") for the
sole purpose of causing to be prepared and signing and filing the Amended
Returns, and Xxxxxxx shall have no authority of any other kind or nature
whatsoever and no ability to bind ISI and/or InfoCure to any obligation or
commitment whatsoever as Tax Officer. The Amended Returns shall be signed by
Xxxxxxx, in his capacity as Tax Officer, and by the certified public accounting
firm (anticipated to be Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLP) which prepares the
Amended Returns. Immediately after the Amended Returns are filed, Xxxxxxx shall
deliver copies of the Amended Returns to ISI and InfoCure. If any Taxing
Authority, such as, but not limited to, the Internal Revenue Service or the
Georgia Department of Revenue, issues a notice of deficiency to ISI and/or
InfoCure with respect to the Amended Returns, ISI shall be the party entitled to
contest any such deficiency notice; provided, however, that if the Shareholders,
or any
34
40
of the Shareholders, would be obligated to pay such taxes, or to indemnify ISI
and/or InfoCure, for, any tax deficiency or liability related thereto, then (i)
the Shareholders, as a group, hereby appoint Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx as their
representatives, together with an attorney or accountant of Messrs. Xxxxxxx and
Xxxxx (whose fees and expenses shall be borne by Shareholders), to participate
in the contesting of such deficiency and (ii) neither ISI or InfoCure shall
settle or compromise the liability with respect thereto without the prior
written consent of Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, that Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx shall be
entitled to consent to any such settlement or compromise on behalf of all of the
Shareholders. In the event ISI or InfoCure requests, in writing, a consent of
Messrs. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx for any such settlement or compromise and Messrs.
Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx fail to respond to such request within twenty (20) days of the
delivery thereof, then such failure to respond shall constitute consent to such
settlement or compromise that shall be binding on the Shareholders.

not jointly, in proportion to each Shareholder's relative Percentage Ownership,
agree that they will indemnify and hold ISI
39
45
and InfoCure harmless in respect of the aggregate of all indemnifiable Damages
of ISI and InfoCure.
For this purpose, "indemnifiable Damages" of ISI or InfoCure means the
aggregate of all Damages incurred or suffered by ISI and InfoCure resulting
from:
A. Any inaccurate representation or warranty made by the
Company or the Shareholders in or pursuant to this Agreement; or
B. Any breach of or default in the performance of any of the
covenants or agreements made by the Company or the Shareholders in this
Agreement.
The foregoing obligation of the Shareholders to indemnify InfoCure and
ISI shall be subject to each of the following principles or qualifications:
7.1.1 All representations, warranties and covenants of the
Company, the Shareholders, ISI and InfoCure contained in this Agreement will
remain operative and in full force and effect for a period ending on the earlier

ISI and InfoCure, as the case may be, shall exercise its remedies only with
respect to those certain escrow shares deposited in escrow pursuant to the

responsible for indemnifiable Damages only to the extent that the aggregate
amount of such indemnifiable Damages exceeds Three Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($300,000.00) and then only for the amount of such excess up to the
amount of the escrow shares deposited in escrow pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement.
7.2. Matters Involving Third Parties. If any third party shall notify
ISI or InfoCure (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter which may
give rise to a claim by ISI or InfoCure for indemnification against the
Shareholders (collectively the "Indemnifying Party") under this Section 7. (a
"Third Party Claim") then the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying
Party promptly; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified
Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any liability or obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent
that) the Indemnifying Party thereby is Damaged.
If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within fifteen
(15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter that the
Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, then:
A. The Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party
against the matter with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party;
40
46
B. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its
sole cost and expense (except that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible
for the fees and expenses of the separate co-counsel to the extent the
Indemnified Party concludes that the counsel the Indemnifying Party has selected
has a conflict of interest);
C. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the
written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld or delayed
unreasonably); and
D. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement which does not
include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the
Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written
consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably).
If (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party
within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the
matter that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof or (ii) the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after
the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter that the Indemnifying Party
is not assuming the defense thereof, then the Indemnified Party may defend
against, or enter into any settlement with respect to, the matter in any manner
it may deem appropriate.
7.3. Appointment of Shareholders' Representative. Each Shareholder
constitutes and appoints Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, D.M.D.
(collectively the "Shareholders' Representative") as his true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to act for and on behalf of such Shareholders in all matters
relating to or arising out of this Section 7. and the liability or asserted
liability of such Shareholder, hereunder, including specifically, but without
limitation, accepting and agreeing to the liability of such Shareholder with
respect to any indemnification claim, objecting to any indemnification claim,
disputing the liability of such Shareholder, or the amount of such liability,
with respect to any indemnification claim and prosecuting and resolving such
dispute as herein provided, accepting the defense, compromise and settlement of
any Third Party Claim on behalf of such Shareholder or refusing to accept the
same, settling and compromising the liability of such Shareholder hereunder,
instituting and prosecuting such actions (including arbitration proceedings) as
the Shareholders' Representative shall deem appropriate in connection with any
of the foregoing, retaining counsel, accountants, appraisers and other advisers
in connection with any of the foregoing, all for the account of the Shareholder,
such Shareholder agreeing to be fully bound by the acts, decisions and
agreements of the Shareholder Representative taken and done pursuant to the
authority herein granted. Each Shareholder hereby agrees to indemnify and to
save and hold harmless the Shareholders' Representative from any liability
incurred by the Shareholders' Representative based upon or arising out of any
act, whether of omission or commission, of the Shareholders' Representative
pursuant to authority herein granted, other than acts, whether of omission or
commission, of the Shareholders' Representative that constitute willful
misconduct in the exercise by the Shareholders' Representative of the authority
herein granted. The death or incapacity of any Shareholder shall not terminate
the authority and agency of the Shareholders' Representative. In the event of
the resignation of either Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx or Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, D.M.D., the other
party shall continue
41
47
as Shareholders' Representative hereunder and in the event of the resignation of
such other party, the resigning Shareholders' Representative shall appoint a
successor either from among the Shareholders or who shall otherwise be
acceptable to ISI and InfoCure and who shall agree in writing to accept such
appointment, and the resigning Shareholders' Representative's resignation shall
not be effective until such a successor shall exist. If the Shareholders'
Representative is a natural person and if such Shareholders' Representative
should die or become incapacitated, then his successor shall be appointed within
thirty (30) days of his death or incapacity by a majority of the Shareholders
and such successor either shall be a Shareholder or shall otherwise be
acceptable to InfoCure. The choice of a successor Shareholders' Representative
appointed in any manner permitted above shall be final and binding upon all of
the Shareholders. The decisions and actions of any successor Shareholders'
Representative shall be, for all purposes, those of a Shareholders'
Representative as if originally named herein.
