UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the 27th
day of July, 2001 among Integra, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Integra") Global
Benefits Solutions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company") and
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx ("Xxxxxx" or the "Indemnity Unitholder"). Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in Article 12 hereof.
WHEREAS, the Indemnity Unitholder holds all of the issued and
outstanding membership units of the Company (the "Units");
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Integra deems it advisable and in
the best interests of Integra and its stockholders that Integra purchase all of
the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company pursuant to this
Agreement and the applicable provisions of the laws of the state of Delaware
(such transaction being herein called the "Exchange"); and
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
party hereto desires to consummate the Exchange.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements, representations, warranties, provisions and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
1.1 EXCHANGE OF COMPANY SECURITIES. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth and on the basis of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, at the Closing, the
Indemnity Unitholder shall exchange with Integra and Integra shall exchange with
the Indemnity Unitholder, all of the issued and outstanding Units, free and
clear of all liens, in exchange for delivery to the Indemnity Unitholder of
1,000,000 shares of Integra common stock at the price at the Closing Date and
107,500 shares of preferred stock valued at $40.00 per share, subject to
adjustments listed below (the "Preferred Stock" and together with the common
stock the "Integra Stock"). The terms of the Integra Preferred Stock are set
forth in Annex II.
1.2 POST CLOSING ADJUSTMENT. On the Closing (as defined below),
the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to Piltch pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement is 107,500 (the "Maximum Number"). The Maximum
Number shall be subject to reduction as follows: in the event that the gross
revenue of the Company for the period between August 1, 2001 and December 31,
2001 (the "Earn-out Period") is less than $2,300,000 (as evidenced by a separate
Company line item on Integra's financial statements, which includes the monthly
$32,500 payments from Integra to the Company) on an annualized basis (using the
accrual method of accounting) (the "Target Amount"), then the Maximum Number
shall be decreased by a percentage (the "Earn-out Percentage"), equal to 100
multiplied by the difference
1
10
between 1 and a quotient, the numerator of which shall be the actual gross
revenue for the Earn-out Period and the denominator of which shall be the Target
Amount. Provided, however, if and to the extent that the Earn-out Percentage is
less than 5%, no reduction in the Maximum Number shall be made. For example, if
the Company has gross revenue for the Earn-out Period equal to $2,116,000 (or 8%
less than the Target Amount), then the Maximum Number will be reduced by 3% to
104,275 shares.
Integra will have Ernst & Young LLP prepare its financial statements
which include the Company's financial information setting forth the gross
revenue of the Company for the Earn-out Period. Integra, the Company and Piltch
hereby agree that the calculation of the Company's gross revenue for the
Earn-out Period included in such financial statements shall be final and binding
on the parties.
1.3 EXCHANGE PROCEDURES. On the Closing Date, the Indemnity
Unitholder shall be entitled to receive, in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding Units of the Company, a certificate or certificates registered in
the name of the Indemnity Unitholder representing that number of whole shares of
Integra Stock which the holder has the right to receive. The Indemnity
Unitholder will be issued Integra Stock, upon surrender to Integra of
certificates representing all of the outstanding Units of the Company
("Certificates"), which Certificates shall be held in escrow by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
pursuant to that certain Escrow Agreement between Integra and the Indemnity
Unitholder dated of even date herewith.
1.4 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Article 1, no fractional shares of Integra Stock will be issued and the
Indemnity Unitholder, even though such Indemnity Unitholder would otherwise be
entitled hereunder to receive a fractional share of Integra Stock but for this
Section 1.4; the Indemnity Unitholder will be entitled hereunder to receive in
lieu of such fractional share a cash payment.
1.5 CEO OF INTEGRA. Immediately after the Closing Date, Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx shall be the Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of Integra
pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement dated August 1, 2001 between
Integra and the Indemnity Unitholder.
1.6 REPURCHASE RIGHT. Piltch shall have the right to purchase all
of Integra's interest in the Company that is transferred under this Agreement as
set forth in Annex III.
1.7 INSTALLMENT PURCHASE. Any monies due Piltch for the
transaction contemplated hereby, other than the 8% interest payment on the
Preferred Stock, shall be made on an installment basis during the five year
period contemplated herein, the amount of which installment and the timing of
which shall be agreed upon by Integra and Piltch.
2. CLOSING.
2.1 CLOSING DATE; LOCATION. The Exchange referred to in Article I
hereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Closing") shall take place at the
offices of Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX

2

3.13 LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS.
(a) Attached hereto as Schedule 3.13 is an accurate list,

on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet included in the Financial
Statements; (ii) all liabilities incurred thereafter other than in the ordinary
course of business; (iii) all material liabilities incurred thereafter in the
ordinary course of business; and (iv) all liabilities incurred as of the
Unaudited Balance Sheet Date or incurred thereafter that are not reflected on

of the foregoing liabilities that has not heretofore been paid or discharged is
so noted on Schedule 3.13. For purposes of this Agreement, "liabilities" means
liabilities of any kind, character or description, whether accrued, absolute,
secured or unsecured, contingent or otherwise.
(b) For each such liability for which the amount is not

such liability. If no estimate is provided, the best estimate shall for purposes
of this Agreement be deemed to be zero.
(c) All of the liabilities reflected on the Unaudited
Balance Sheet included in the Unaudited Financial Statements arose only out of
or were incurred only in connection with the conduct of the respective
businesses of the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 and except for
liabilities not required to be set forth thereon pursuant to Section 3.13(a),
the Company has no liabilities or obligations with respect to its business,
whether direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, absolute contingent or

Accounts Receivable. All Accounts Receivable represent valid obligations arising
from bona fide business transactions in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice. The Accounts Receivable are, and as of the
Closing Date will be, current and collectible net of any respective reserves
shown on the Company's books and records (which reserves are adequate and
calculated consistent with past practice). There is no contest, claim,
counterclaim, defense or right of set-off, other than rebates and returns in the
ordinary course of business, under any contract with any obligor of any Account
Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Account Receivable except
as listed as a liability under Schedule 3.13. The allowance for collection
losses on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of the Unaudited Balance
Sheet Date has been determined in accordance with GAAP consistent with past

Entity.

fixed assets used by the Company in the operation of its business are leased
under agreements set forth on Schedule 3.16. All leases set forth on Schedule
3.16 have been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company. All fixed assets used by the
Company in the operation of its business are either owned by the Company or
leased under an agreement set forth on Schedule 3.16. Schedule 3.16 sets forth a
summary description of all plans or projects involving the opening of new
operations, expansion of any existing operations or the acquisition of any real
property or existing business to which management of the Company has devoted any
significant effort or expenditure in the
6
15

or any of the Indemnity Unitholder can now reasonably foresee, may in the future
materially adversely affect or materially restrict, the business, operations,
assets, properties, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company after consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.26 TAXES. The Company is not, and has not ever been, classified
as an association and taxable as a corporation for federal or state income tax
purposes. All federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, reports, statements
and other similar filings required to be filed by the Company or the Indemnity
Unitholder(the "Tax Returns") with respect to any federal, state, local or
foreign taxes, assessments, interest, penalties, deficiencies, fees and other
governmental charges or impositions (including without limitation all income
tax, unemployment compensation, social security, payroll, sales and use, excise,
privilege, property, ad valorem, franchise, license, school and any other tax or
similar governmental charge or imposition under laws of the United States or any
state or municipal or political subdivision thereof or any foreign country or
political subdivision thereof) (singly, a "Tax", and collectively, the "Taxes")
have been timely filed with the appropriate governmental agencies in all
jurisdictions in which such Tax Returns are required to be filed, and all such
Tax Returns fairly reflect the liabilities of the Company for Taxes for the
periods, property or events covered thereby. All Taxes called for by the Tax
Returns have been paid by the Company and any deficiency assessments, penalties
and interest have been timely paid, withheld or accrued. The accruals for Taxes
contained in the Unaudited Balance Sheet are fairly stated as of that date and
nothing has occurred subsequent to that date to make any of such accruals
inadequate as of that date. The Company's Tax basis in its assets for purposes
of determining its future amortization, depreciation and other federal income
tax deductions is fairly stated on the Company's Tax books and records. The
Company is not and has not at any time ever been a party to a Tax sharing, Tax
indemnity or Tax allocation agreement, and the Company has not assumed any Tax
liability of any other person or entity under contract. The Company has not
received any notice of assessment or proposed assessment in connection with any
Tax Returns and there are not pending tax examinations of or tax claims asserted
against the Company or any of its assets or properties. The Company has not
extended, or waived the application of, any statute of limitations of any
jurisdiction regarding the assessment or collection of any Taxes. There are now
(and as of immediately following the Closing there will be) no liens (other than
any lien for current Taxes not yet due and payable) on
11
20
any of the assets or properties of the Company relating to or attributable to
Taxes. To the knowledge of the Company and the Indemnity Unitholder, there is no
basis for the assertion of any claim relating to or attributable to Taxes which,
if adversely determined, would have an adverse effect on the Company or its
business, operations, assets, properties, prospects or condition (financial or
otherwise). All Tax payments related to employees, including income tax
withholding, FICA, FUTA, unemployment and worker's compensation, required to be
made by the Company have been fully and properly paid, withheld, accrued or
recorded. There are no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements, including
but not limited to the provisions of this Agreement, covering any employee or
former employee of the Company that, individually or collectively, could give
rise to any payment (or portion thereof) that would not be deductible pursuant
to Sections 280G, 404 or 162 of the Code. Correct and complete copies of (a) all
Tax examinations, (b) all extensions of statutory limitations and (c) all
federal, state and local income tax returns and franchise tax returns of the
Company since its formation, have heretofore been delivered by the Company and
the Indemnity Unitholder to Integra. The Company has a taxable year ended
December 31 and the Company has not made an election to retain a fiscal year
other than December 31 under Section 444 of the Code. The Company currently
utilizes the accrual method of accounting for income tax purposes and has not
changed its method of accounting for income tax purposes since its formation.

8.2 SPECIFIC INDEMNIFICATION BY INDEMNITY UNITHOLDER. Subject to
the limitations contained in Section 8.5 hereof, notwithstanding any disclosure
made in this Agreement or in the schedules or exhibits hereto and
notwithstanding any investigation by Integra, the Indemnity Unitholder covenants

the Post Closing Company and their respective officers, security-holders,
directors, divisions, subdivisions, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, agents,
employees, successors and assigns at all times from and after the date of this

(d) any material adverse amendments pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof.
8.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY INTEGRA. Subject to the limitations
contained in Section 8.5 hereof, Integra covenants and agrees that it will
indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Indemnity Unitholder at all
times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all Losses
incurred by the Indemnity Unitholder as a result of or arising from (a) any
breach of the representations and warranties made by Integra set forth herein or
on the schedules or certificates attached hereto or (b) any nonfulfillment of
any agreement on the part of Integra under this Agreement.
8.4 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.
(a) In order for a party hereto eligible to be
indemnified hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") to be entitled to any
indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of
or involving a claim or demand made by any person or entity against the
Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), such Indemnified Party must notify
the parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2,
or 8.3 hereof (each, an "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and in reasonable
detail, of the Third Party Claim within 30 business days after receipt by such
Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however,
that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification
provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been
actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice shall state the
nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the amount
thereof. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying
Party, within five business days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof,
copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the
Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have right to defend and
settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any Third Party Claim as the
Indemnifying Party pursues the same in good faith and diligently and so long as
the Third Party Claim does not relate to an actual or potential Loss to which
Section 8.4(e) applies in which the Indemnified Party is Integra or the Post
Closing Company. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it
shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in
the defense thereof and in any settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall
include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any
books, records or information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party
that are in the Indemnified Party's possession or control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in any
matter through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense (unless there is a
conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from
representing the Indemnified Party, in which case the
26
35
Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the expenses of its
counsel). After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its
intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for
so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement
of such asserted liability, except to the extent such participation is requested
by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be
reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for reasonable additional legal expenses
and out-of-pocket expenses, and except in the case of a Third Party Claim
relating to an actual or potential Loss to which Section 8.4(e) applies in which
the Indemnified Party is Integra or the Post Closing Company.
(c) No Indemnifying Party shall, in the defense of any
Third Party Claim, consent to entry of any judgment (other than a judgment of
dismissal on the merits without costs) or enter into any settlement, except with
the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
matter.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense
of any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may defend against such
Third Party Claim in such manner as it deems appropriate at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article 8, if at any time, in the reasonable opinion of Integra or the Post
Closing Company as the Indemnified Party (notice of which opinion shall be given
in writing to the Indemnifying Party), any Third Party Claim seeks material
prospective relief which could have an adverse effect on any such Indemnified
Party or any subsidiary, then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to
control or assume (as the case may be) the defense of any such Third Party Claim
and the amount of any judgment or settlement and the reasonable costs and
expenses of defense (including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of
counsel and experts, as well as any sampling, testing, investigation, removal,
treatment or remediation undertaken by Integra or the Post Closing Company and
all counseling or engineering fees and expenses related thereto) shall be
included as part of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party
hereunder. If the Indemnified Party elects to exercise such right, then the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the
defense of such Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party.
8.5 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding any other term
of this Agreement, in no event shall the Indemnity Unitholder be liable under
this Article 8 for an amount that exceeds the aggregate value (determined at the
Closing Date) of the consideration received by the Indemnity Unitholder under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the limitations upon indemnification contained in this Section 8.5
shall not apply to Losses arising out of any willful misrepresentation, willful
breach of warranty or willful failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement or
any breach of the
27
36
representations and warranties of the Indemnity Unitholder contained in Sections
3.3, 3.5, 3.13, 3.26 and 3.32 hereof.
8.6 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The parties agree
that representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement, or in
any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall
survive for a period of two years from the Closing Date (which date is
hereinafter called the "Expiration Date"), except that:
(a) the representations and warranties contained in
Section 3.26 hereof shall survive until such time as the limitations period has
run for all tax periods ended on or prior to the Closing Date, which shall be
deemed to be the Expiration Date for purposes of this clause (a) and claims
arising from a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section
3.26;
(b) the representations and warranties contained in
Section 3.32 hereof regarding environmental matters shall survive for a period
of five years from the Closing Date, which shall be deemed the Expiration Date
for purposes of this clause (b) and claims arising from a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in such Section 3.32;
(c) the representations and warranties of the Indemnity
Unitholder contained in Section 3.5 hereof, regarding security ownership shall
survive the Closing Date without time limitation; and
(d) any representations and warranties which serve as a
basis of the indemnity obligations of the Indemnity Unitholder under Section 8.2
shall survive the Closing Date without time limitation.
9. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
9.1 TERMINATION BY INTEGRA. Integra may, by notice in the manner
hereinafter provided on or before the Closing Date, terminate this Agreement (a)
if a material default shall be made by the Indemnity Unitholder in the
observance or due and timely performance of any of the covenants, agreements or
conditions contained herein, and the curing of such default shall not have been
made on or before the Closing Date and shall not reasonably be expected to occur
or (b) if Integra in its sole judgment determines that any condition exists
which has made or could reasonably be expected to make any of the
representations or warranties contained in Article 3 hereof untrue in any
material respect, or (c) if Integra in its sole judgment determines that
information disclosed on the schedules to the Agreement delivered pursuant to
Section 3.13 has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect of over $100,000 individually or in the aggregate on the business,
operations, assets, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company.
9.2 AUTOMATIC TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically if the Closing Date has not occurred by December 31, 2001.
10. NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
28
37
10.1 INDEMNITY UNITHOLDER. The Indemnity Unitholder recognizes and
acknowledges that he has in the past, currently has, and in the future may
possibly have access to certain confidential information of the Company,
including, but not limited to, information disclosed to the Indemnity Unitholder
or known by them as a result of their employment by the Company, not generally
known in the industry, about the Company's services, products or customers,
including, but not limited to, customer lists, finance, strategic planning,
business plans, client retention, data processing, pricing and cost policies,
operational policies, insurance plans, risk management, marketing, key
customers, business prospects, contracting and selling, employees, special and
unique assets of the Company and its business, and information concerning
acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Company's business or
industry. The Indemnity Unitholder agrees that he will not disclose, use,
disseminate, lecture upon, or publish any confidential information of which he
becomes informed during his employment, whether or not developed by him
individually or collectively, at any time during his employment with the
Company, to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any
purpose or reason whatsoever, except to authorized representatives of Integra,
unless the Indemnity Unitholder can show that such information has become known
to the public generally through no fault of the Indemnity Unitholder. Prior to
disclosing any confidential information required by law or order of a court of
competent jurisdiction, the Indemnity Unitholder shall provide Integra with
prompt notice of the disclosure requirement so that Integra may take whatever
action it deems appropriate to prohibit such disclosure. In the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Indemnity Unitholder of the provisions of
this Section 10.1, Integra and the Post Closing Company shall be entitled to an
injunction restraining the Indemnity Unitholder from disclosing, in whole or in
part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as
prohibiting Integra and the Post Closing Company from pursuing any other
available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages. Notwithstanding the provisions herein contained, in the event of the
exercise by the Company of its rights under the provisions of the Unit
Repurchase Agreement, the restrictions contained in this paragraph will not
apply to the ongoing business of the Company after the repurchase.
10.2 DAMAGES. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic
losses as a result of the breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the
immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused for which Integra and the
Post Closing Company would have no other adequate remedy, the Indemnity
Unitholder agrees that, in the event of a breach by him of the foregoing
covenant, the covenant may be enforced against him by injunctions and
restraining orders.
11. GENERAL
11.1 WARRANTS. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company
will not exercise any right from the date hereof to accelerate the vesting or
exerciseability of or otherwise modify the terms and conditions applicable to
warrants to purchase securities of the Company. At the Closing Date, any
warrants to purchase securities of the Company that are outstanding and
unexercised on the Closing Date shall have been exercised or shall be canceled.
29
38
11.2 COOPERATION. The Indemnity Unitholder and Integra shall each
