(i) first, the number of VDOT Merger Shares resulting from dividing $400,000 by the VDOT Merger Share Value shall be distributed to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock of Healthtrac in proportion to the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each such stockholder;

3.4 No Registration of VDOT Merger Shares.
None of the VDOT Merger Shares issued to the Healthtrac Stockholders shall, at the time of Closing, be registered or qualified under federal or state ('Blue Sky') securities laws but, rather, shall be issued pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The VDOT Merger Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and in each case only in accordance with applicable state securities laws. The VDOT Merger Shares will be subject to a one-year holding period or such other period as is required under applicable securities laws. All of such shares shall bear a legend worded substantially as follows:
"NONE OF THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"), OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, NONE MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES OR, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED HEREIN) EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND IN EACH CASE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."

Except for the piggyback registration rights contained in the Registration Rights Agreement, there shall be no requirement that VDOT register the VDOT Merger Shares under the 1933 Act or qualify any of the VDOT Merger Shares under any state Blue Sky laws. Healthtrac and the Healthtrac Stockholders will provide all representations and collateral agreements requested by VDOT as may be necessary to ensure that the issuance of the VDOT Merger Shares complies with the requirements of all applicable securities laws and regulations.
3.5 Additional Resale Restrictions.
Each Healthtrac Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the VDOT Merger Shares will be issued pursuant to exemptions from such prospectus and/or registration requirements as may otherwise be applicable in the jurisdiction in which the Healthtrac Stockholder is resident, and that, as a result:
(a) the VDOT Merger Shares may be subject to an indefinite hold period under applicable securities legislation;
(b) each Healthtrac Stockholder is responsible for seeking appropriate legal advice to determine the applicable resale restrictions and for complying with same; and
(c) a legend may be placed on the certificates representing the VDOT Merger Shares to the effect that the securities represented by such certificates are subject to a holding period and may not be traded until the expiration of such holding period except as permitted by applicable securities legislation.
3.6 Cancellation of Options and Warrants.
At the Effective Time, each option, warrant or other right to acquire or purchase shares of Healthtrac common stock (the "Options") granted by Healthtrac shall automatically, and without any action required by the holders thereof, be cancelled and terminated.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no certificates or scrip for fractional shares of VDOT Merger Shares shall be issued in the Merger and no VDOT common stock dividend, stock split or interest shall relate to any fractional security. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Healthtrac Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of VDOT Merger Shares upon surrender of certificates representing Healthtrac Shares for exchange pursuant to this Article 3 shall be entitled to receive from VDOT a stock certificate representing the next higher whole number of shares.
(i) all of the Healthtrac Stockholders consent to the Merger; or
(B) within the time period allowed by California law, no Healthtrac Stockholder exercises any dissenting shareholder or appraisal rights provided them pursuant to California law.
(b) Healthtrac shall give VDOT (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by Healthtrac pursuant to the applicable provisions of California law and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. VDOT shall not, except with the prior written consent of Healthtrac, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle any such demands.
3.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Healthtrac Capital Stock.
The VDOT Merger Shares exchanged for Healthtrac Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Healthtrac Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Healthtrac Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing Healthtrac Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 3.
3.10 Tax and Accounting Consequences.
It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(c) Healthtrac will give to VDOT and VDOT's counsel, accountants and other representatives full access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the time of Closing, to all of the properties, books, contracts, commitments and records of Healthtrac, and Healthtrac will furnish to counsel for VDOT during such period all such information as VDOT or counsel for VDOT may reasonably request subject to reasonable restrictions on disclosure, use and covenants of confidentiality imposed in advance by Healthtrac or Healthtrac's counsel;

Each Healthtrac Stockholder (each an "Indemnifying Party" and collectively the "Indemnifying Parties") shall for a period of one year from the Closing Date, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of VDOT and the Surviving Corporation, and their respective officers, directors, subsidiaries, agents, affiliates, and employees (each an "Indemnified Party" and collectively the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all Losses arising out of, directly or indirectly, any misrepresentation or breach of or default in connection with any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements given or made by any of the Indemnifying Parties in this Agreement, the schedules hereto, or any certificate, instrument or document delivered by Healthtrac pursuant to this Agreement and any material liabilities of Healthtrac not included on Schedule C hereto; provided that each Healthtrac Stockholder's indemnification obligation hereunder shall be several and not joint to the extent Losses arise out of, directly or indirectly, any misrepresentation or breach of or default or inaccuracy in connection with any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements given or made by any Healthtrac Stockholder in his individual capacity in this Agreement, the schedules hereto, or any certificate, instrument or document delivered by any Healthtrac Stockholder in his individual capacity pursuant to this Agreement. The total amount of Losses for which the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Parties shall not exceed the aggregate of all of the VDOT Merger Shares. The indemnification obligations contained in this Section 9.2 shall not apply if the Closing does not occur. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of any of the Indemnifying Parties in the event that they commit fraud or engage in wilful misconduct. VDOT shall act on behalf of, and as agent for, each Indemnified Party for purposes of this Article 9.
9.3 Indemnification by VDOT and the Subsidiary
VDOT and the Subsidiary shall, for a period of one year after the Closing Date, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Healthtrac Stockholders, and Healthtrac's and their respective officers, directors, subsidiaries, agents, affiliates and employees from and against any and all Losses arising out of, directly or indirectly, any misrepresentation or breach of or default in connection with any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements given or made by either of VDOT or Subsidiary in this Agreement, the schedules to this Agreement or any certificate, instrument or document delivered by VDOT or Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) for any Healthtrac Stockholder that is a corporation, five duly executed originals of a resolution of the Board of Directors granting authority for the transfer of an amount of the Pledged Shares to be determined by VDOT in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
to be held by VDOT (the Pledged Shares, Stock Powers of Attorney and Board of Directors' resolutions remaining from time to time in the Indemnity Fund being, collectively, the "Indemnity Shares") to constitute the "Indemnity Fund" to be governed by the terms set forth herein. The Healthtrac Stockholders shall have all indicia of ownership of the Pledged Shares while they are held in the Indemnity Fund including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all taxes, assessments and charges with respect thereto and the right to vote the Pledged Shares and receive any cash dividends, except that the Pledged Shares shall be subject to the pledge obligations and restrictions on transfer as are set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Recourse to the Indemnity Fund. The Indemnity Fund shall be available as a source for payment of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties set forth in Section 9.2 hereof. Healthtrac, the Healthtrac Stockholders and VDOT each acknowledge that such Losses, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at the Effective Time which, if resolved at the Effective Time, would have led to a reduction in the number of VDOT Merger Shares.
(c) Indemnity Period; Distribution of Indemnity Fund upon Termination of Indemnity Period. Subject to the following requirements, the Indemnity Fund shall be implemented immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the first anniversary of the Effective Time (the "Expiration Date") (the period of time from the Effective Time through and including the Expiration Date is referred to herein as the "Indemnity Period"); and any Indemnity Shares remaining in the Indemnity Fund at the end of the Indemnity Period shall be distributed as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 9.4(c); provided, however, that the Indemnity Period shall not terminate with respect to a number of such Indemnity Shares necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims under this Section 9.4(c) concerning facts and circumstances existing prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period which claims are specified in an Officer's Certificate (as defined below) delivered by VDOT to the Shareholder Representative prior to expiration of the Indemnity Period. Only that number of Indemnity Shares valued at the amount of any such claims as set forth in the relevant Officer's Certificate(s) shall be retained in the Indemnity Fund past the Expiration Date (or all remaining Indemnity Shares if their value is less than the claims). As soon as all such claims, if any, have been resolved, VDOT shall deliver, within ten (10) business days of such resolution and without charging any fees therefor, to the Shareholder Representative for distribution to the Healthtrac Stockholders pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement, the remaining portion of the Indemnity Fund.
(d) Protection of Indemnity Fund. VDOT shall hold and safeguard the Indemnity Fund during the Indemnity Period, shall hold the Pledged Shares and related documents in trust for the party eventually entitled to receive them in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of VDOT and shall hold and dispose of the Indemnity Fund only in accord with the terms hereof.
(e) Claims Upon Indemnity Fund. Upon receipt by the Shareholder Representative at any time on or before the expiration of the Indemnity Period of a certificate signed by any officer of VDOT (an "Officer's Certificate"): (A) stating that VDOT or the Surviving Corporation has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Losses, directly or indirectly, as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of or default in any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any of the Indemnifying Parties contained herein or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of or default in connection with such representation, warranty, agreement or covenant to which such item is related, VDOT may, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4(g) hereof release to itself from the Indemnity Fund, that number of Indemnity Shares held in the Indemnity Fund valued at an amount equal to such Losses.
(f) Value of Shares. For all purposes under this Article 9, each Indemnity Share shall be deemed to have the Value established pursuant to Section 1.1(ee) of this Agreement.
(g) Objections to Claims. At the time of delivery of an Officer's Certificate and for a period of twenty (20) days after such delivery, VDOT shall not release to itself any portion of the Indemnity Fund pursuant to Section 9.4(e) hereof unless VDOT shall have received written authorization from the Shareholder Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such 20 day period, VDOT may release Indemnity Shares from the Indemnity Fund for its own benefit in accordance with Section 9.4(e) hereof, provided that no such release may be made if the Shareholder Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to VDOT prior to the expiration of such 20 day period.
(h) Notice to Indemnifying Parties. Any notice, including an Officer's Certificate, which VDOT delivers pursuant to this Article 9 will be valid and binding on each and every Indemnifying Party if delivered in accordance with this Agreement to the Shareholder Representative, and each Indemnifying Party hereby appoints the Shareholder Representative as his/her/its agent to receive on his/her/its behalf such notice or Officer's Certificate.
(i) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
In case the Shareholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer's Certificate, the Shareholder Representative and VDOT shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.
(i) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation for a period of 15 days, either VDOT or the Shareholder Representative may demand arbitration of the dispute unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in a pending action or proceeding involving a Third Party Claim, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by 3 arbitrators, 1 selected by VDOT, 1 selected by the Shareholder Representative, and 1 selected by the 2 arbitrators selected by VDOT and the Shareholder Representative. The arbitrators shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery of information relating to any dispute while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate as determined in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel, limit or allow discovery as they shall deem appropriate given the nature and extent of the disputed claim. The arbitrators shall also have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys' fees and other costs incurred by the parties, to the same extent as a court of law or equity, should the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to by a party without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the 3 arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer's Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 9.4(g) hereof, VDOT shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and release Indemnity Shares from the Indemnity Fund in accordance therewith. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions regarding the dispute which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrators.
(ii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Xxxx County, Illinois under the commercial rules of arbitration then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative costs of the arbitration and the expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the prevailing party to the arbitration.
(iii) In the event that the Shareholder Representative shall have objected in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer's Certificate, and (A) no agreement is reached between the parties as to their respective rights in accordance with subparagraph (i) above, and (B) neither the Shareholder Representative nor VDOT shall have demanded arbitration of the dispute in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above within six (6) months of the date of the relevant Officer's Certificate, in the case of a claim not involving a Third Party Claim, or within six (6) months of the date that a Third Party Claim is finally resolved and is not appealable, in the case of a claim involving a Third Party Claim, then the claim or claims in the relevant Officer's Certificate which remain subject to dispute shall expire and no further claim upon the Indemnity Fund shall be made with respect to such claim or claims. Such expiration shall, for purposes of releasing Indemnity Shares under this Agreement be deemed a final resolution of such claim or claims, and such Indemnity Shares shall remain in the Indemnity Fund or be released to the Shareholder Representative in accordance with this Agreement.
(j) Third-Party Claims. In the event VDOT becomes aware of a third-party claim that VDOT reasonably expects may result in a demand against the Indemnity Fund (a "Third Party Claim"), VDOT shall give written notice to the Shareholder Representative within ten (10) days of VDOT becoming aware of any such Third Party Claim; the notice shall set forth such material information with respect thereto as is then reasonably available to VDOT; provided, however, that such written notice shall be effective only if delivered to the Shareholder Representative before the expiration, pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements upon which such Third Party Claim(s) are based. In case any such liability is asserted against VDOT, and VDOT notifies the Shareholder Representative thereof, the Shareholder Representative will be entitled, if it so elects by written notice delivered to VDOT within ten (10) days after receiving VDOT's notice, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to VDOT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) VDOT shall also have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of VDOT unless VDOT shall reasonably determine that there is a conflict of interest between VDOT and the Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim or there are or may be legal defenses available to the Indemnifying Parties which are different from or additional to those available to VDOT or a difference of position or potential difference of position exists between the Indemnifying Parties and VDOT that would make such separate representation advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel to VDOT, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel will be borne by the Indemnifying Parties unless such representation is advisable only due to activities of VDOT since the Effective Time, and (ii) VDOT shall not have any obligation to give any notice of any assertion of liability by a third party unless such assertion is in writing. With respect to any assertion of liability by a third party that results in a Third Party Claim, the parties hereto shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession material to any such assertion.
(k) In the event that the Shareholder Representative, within ten (10) days after receipt of the aforesaid notice of a Third Party Claim, fails to assume the defense of VDOT against such Third Party Claim, VDOT shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or settlement of such action on behalf of and for the account, expenses and risk of the Indemnifying Parties.
(l) Notwithstanding anything in this Article 9 to the contrary, VDOT shall have the right to participate, at its own cost and expense, in such defence, compromise, or settlement and, if there is a reasonable probability that a settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect VDOT, the Indemnifying Parties shall not, without VDOT's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof unless such settlement, compromise, or consent includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to VDOT a release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.
9.5 Shareholder Representative.
(a) The Healthtrac Stockholders hereby appoint Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxxxx to act as the Shareholder Representative and authorize and direct the Shareholder Representative to (i) take any and all actions (including without limitation executing and delivering any documents, receiving notices of claims, incurring any costs and expenses for the account of Healthtrac and the Healthtrac Stockholders and making any and all determinations) which may be required or permitted by this Agreement to be taken by Healthtrac, the Healthtrac Stockholders or the Shareholder Representative, (ii) exercise such other rights, power and authority as are authorized, delegated and granted to the Shareholder Representative hereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental to the foregoing. Any actions taken, exercises of rights, power or authority, and any decision or determination made by the Shareholder Representative consistent herewith shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on Healthtrac and each Healthtrac Stockholder as if such party personally had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in such party's individual capacity. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Closing occurs, no Indemnifying Party shall have any right under this Agreement or otherwise to institute any suit, action or proceeding against VDOT or defend any action brought by VDOT or any third party with respect to any matter covered by Article 9, any such right being irrevocably and exclusively delegated to the Shareholder Representative. Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxxxx hereby acknowledges and accepts the foregoing authorization and appointment and agrees to serve as Shareholder Representative in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) The Shareholder Representative shall serve as Shareholder Representative until his or her resignation, removal from office, incapacity or death or the expiration of his or her term of office (which shall not, in any event, expire before the expiration of the Indemnity Period); provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative shall not have the right to resign without (i) prior written notice to each Indemnifying Party and VDOT, and (ii) choosing a successor reasonably satisfactory to VDOT to serve until a successor is elected by the Indemnifying Parties. A Shareholder Representative may be removed at any time and a successor representative, reasonably satisfactory to VDOT, may be appointed, pursuant to written action by a majority of the Indemnifying Parties. VDOT hereby consents to any Healthtrac Stockholder serving as Shareholder Representative, provided that VDOT first receive the notice referred to above. Any successor to a Shareholder Representative shall, for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, be deemed to be, from the time of appointment, the "Shareholder Representative" for the relevant time period, and from and after such time, the term "Shareholder Representative" as used herein and therein shall be deemed to refer to such successor. No appointment of a successor shall be effective unless such successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(c) The Shareholder Representative shall be permitted to retain counsel, consultants and other advisors and the fees and expenses related thereto shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties.
(d) Notwithstanding any notice received by VDOT to the contrary (except any notice of the appointment of a successor Shareholder Representative approved by VDOT in accordance with this Section 9.5, VDOT (i) shall be fully protected in relying upon and shall be entitled to rely upon, shall have no liability to any Indemnifying Party with respect to, and shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Parties from and against all liability arising out of (any such indemnifiable amounts constituting Losses) actions, decisions and determinations of the Shareholder Representative and (ii) shall be entitled to assume that all actions, decisions and determinations of the Shareholder Representative are fully authorized by the Indemnifying Parties.
(e) The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to the Indemnifying Parties for the performance of any act or the failure to act so long as he acted or failed to act in good faith in what he reasonably believed to be the scope of his authority and for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Indemnifying Parties.
9.6 Losses Threshold
(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.2 hereof, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive any amounts from the Indemnity Fund with respect to the indemnification obligations of Healthrac or any Healthtrac Stockholder set forth herein unless and until the Indemnified Parties collectively shall have incurred Losses exceeding Ninety-two Thousand Dollars ($92,000), in which case all Losses in excess of an aggregate threshold of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) shall be recoverable, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.3 hereof, the Healthtrac Stockholders and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and other affiliates shall not be entitled to pursue any claim or receive any amounts with respect to the indemnification obligations of VDOT set forth herein unless and until such parties collectively shall have incurred Losses exceeding Ninety-two Thousand Dollars ($92,000), in which case all Losses in excess of an aggregate threshold of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) shall be recoverable, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9.
(c) Except with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty resulting from the fraud or wilful misrepresentation by an Indemnifying Party, the cumulative liability of the Healthtrac Stockholders under this Agreement including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations herein, shall be limited to the Indemnity Fund.
9.7 Delivery of Shares upon Release from the Indemnity Fund.
Upon or after release of any Indemnity Shares from the Indemnity Fund to the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Article 9, the Shareholder Representative shall, subject to the Stockholders Agreement, designate any of the Healthtrac Stockholders to receive such Indemnity Shares upon their release from the Indemnity Fund or transfer such released Indemnity Shares to any such Healthtrac Stockholder.
In the event that the Indemnity Shares are the subject of a corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock split or stock dividend, or acquisition of VDOT through the purchase of its outstanding capital stock, the consideration to be received by the respective Healthtrac Stockholders in exchange for their respective Indemnity Shares shall be paid directly to VDOT or its successor and shall thereafter constitute the Indemnity Fund and such Indemnity Shares shall be exchanged for such consideration in accordance with the terms of the transaction or occurrence. VDOT shall have full right to exchange the Indemnity Shares in the Indemnity Fund for such consideration. Such consideration shall be valued that the value of the Indemnity Shares exchanged therefor.
