owed by HMS to CDR (including, without limitation, any amounts relating to
Identified Medicaid Receivables collected by HMS and any subcontracting fees
owed to CDR for services provided under any of the Medicaid contracts) by such
default amount.
Each of HMS, the Seller and the Buyer covenants and agrees to
follow the invoice processing and payment procedures set forth on Exhibit G
hereof (the "Procedures") and to at all times use all commercially reasonable
efforts in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the Procedures
to collect all Identified Medicaid Receivables, provided, however, that neither

liabilities that accrued prior to the Closing Date and the Buyer is allocated
all liabilities that accrued subsequent thereto);
(b) all current accounts payable of the Seller reflected on
the Pro Forma Balance Sheet (less any such liabilities that are paid or
discharged by the Seller or HMS between June 30, 2001 and the Closing Date);
(c) all current accounts payable incurred by the Seller in the
ordinary course of the Business incurred between June 30, 2001 and the Closing
Date; and
(d) all other liabilities listed on Schedule 2-A hereto,

To the extent that any of the Assumed Liabilities described in clauses (b) or

Section 2.06. Liabilities Not Assumed by the Buyer. The Buyer is not
assuming any liabilities of the Seller or of HMS other than the Assumed
Liabilities specifically set forth in Section 2.05 above. The Buyer shall not be
deemed to have assumed any other liabilities or obligations of the Seller or HMS
whatsoever including, without limitation, any of the following specified
liabilities ("Excluded Liabilities"):
(i) any liabilities or obligations of the Seller that arise

-8-

commitment that shall not be assigned as contemplated by Section

Section 2.07. Retroactive Economic Effect to Transfer of Assets. As
part of the inducement for the parties hereto to enter into this Agreement, the

Assets as of the opening of business on July 1, 2001 (the "Effective Date"), by
providing for an adjustment in the consideration to be paid pursuant to Section
2.02 hereof as set forth below.
(i) As soon as practicable, but no later than 45 days after
the Closing Date, HMS shall deliver to the Buyer a calculation (the
"Closing Adjustment Calculation") of the net cash operating income or
loss (before Taxes) resulting from the conduct of the Business, and/or
relating to the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, during the period
commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the close of
business on the Closing Date (the "Interim Period"). The Closing
Adjustment Calculation shall be prepared on a cash basis and otherwise
consistent with the financial statements referred to in Section 3.01(e)
hereof; provided, however, that no expenses explicitly agreed to be
paid by the Seller pursuant to any provision hereof, including, without
limitation, Sections 4.01(b) and 9.02, shall be treated as an expense
for purposes of such computation, regardless of when such expenses may
have been incurred by the Seller.
(ii) Promptly following receipt of the Closing Adjustment
Calculation, the Buyer shall review the same and notify HMS in writing
of its acceptance of, or objections to, the Closing Adjustment
Calculation, together with a summary of the reasons therefor and
adjustments which, in the Buyer's view, are necessary to eliminate such
objections. HMS and the Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to resolve
any such objections and, if necessary, shall retain an independent
accounting firm to review and resolve any remaining differences and to
deliver a written report to HMS and the Buyer setting forth its
determination of the adjustments, if any, to the Closing Adjustment
Calculation necessary to accurately reflect the net operating income or
loss (before Taxes) resulting from the conduct of the Business during
the Interim Period.
-9-
15
(iii) Within five days after either the acceptance by HMS and
the Buyer of the Closing Adjustment Calculation or the receipt by HMS
and the Buyer of the report prepared by independent accountants
pursuant to cause (ii) above, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an
amount equal to the net cash operating income (before Taxes), or the
Buyer shall so pay to the Seller an amount equal to the net cash
operating loss (before Taxes), in either case resulting from the
conduct of the Business during the Interim Period, in accordance with
the Closing Adjustment Calculation agreed to by HMS and the Buyer or as
adjusted in accordance with the report prepared by independent
accountants pursuant to clause (ii) above.

after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall permit the Seller or its representatives
and agents at reasonable times during business hours to inspect all the files,
books, records and accounts held by the Buyer, as well as access to, and the
cooperation of, any employee having knowledge of the information therein
contained, if such inspection, access and cooperation are reasonably necessary
for the defense by the Seller of any litigation relating to the Business prior
to the Closing Date.
(b) The Buyer shall not dispose of any business records for as
long as the applicable Tax statute of limitations remains open, provided that,
after such time, the Buyer shall give the Seller written notice of its intention
to dispose of any part thereof, specifying the items to be disposed of in
reasonable detail, and Buyer shall not dispose of any such items for at least 70
days following receipt of such notice by the Seller. The Seller may, within a
period of 60 days from receipt of any such notice, notify the Buyer of its
desire to retain one or more of the items to be disposed of. The Buyer shall,
upon receipt of such a notice from the Seller, deliver to the Seller, at the
Seller's expense, the items specified therein. Anything in this Section 7.02 to
the contrary notwithstanding, except as may be required by applicable law or the
express provisions of this Agreement (subject to provisions reasonably requested
by the Buyer to prevent nondisclosure), the Buyer shall not be required to
deliver to the Seller any proprietary information unless the Buyer has received
reasonable assurances from the Seller that the Seller will maintain the
confidential and proprietary nature of any such information.
Section 7.03. Certain Tax Matters. (a) All transfer, documentary,
sales, use, recording, filing, stamp and other similar transaction Taxes or fees
("Transaction Taxes") imposed upon or incurred by either of the parties hereto
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be borne solely by the Buyer.
-33-
39
HMS, the Seller and the Buyer agree to cooperate in any endeavor to effect a
reduction in any such Transaction Taxes.
(b) The Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay any and
all Taxes with respect to the Assets and the Business relating to all periods
(i) commencing prior to and ending on or after the Effective Date, and (ii)
commencing after the Effective Date; it being understood and agreed that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any and all Taxes with respect to
the Assets and the operations of the Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for and
shall pay only the portion of any and all such Taxes relating to any Tax period
(or portion thereof) commencing at or after the Effective Date. The portion of
such Taxes relating to any Tax period (or portion thereof) shall be determined
based upon a closing of the books with respect to the Assets and the operations
of the Seller at the Effective Date.
(c) For all federal, state, local and foreign income and
franchise Tax purposes, the Buyer and the Seller agree to allocate the
consideration described in Sections 2.02, 2.04 and 2.05 hereof among the Assets
in the manner specified in Schedule 7-A hereto. After the Closing Date, the
Seller and the Buyer shall act in accordance with such allocation statements and
other similar forms in the filing of all Tax returns (including, without
limitation, filing Form 8594 Asset Acquisition Statement of Allocation in the
form attached as Schedule 7-B hereto with its Federal income tax return for the
taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and in the course of any Tax audit,
Tax review or Tax litigation relating hereto. If any federal, state, local or
foreign taxing authority challenges such allocation, the party receiving notice
of such challenge shall give the other prompt written notice of such challenge,
and the parties shall cooperate in good faith in responding to it in order to
preserve the effectiveness of the allocation.
Section 7.04. Use of Names. The Buyer shall have the royalty-free right
to use any materials used by the Seller that bear the name "Health Management
Systems, Inc" or any derivatives thereof if such materials (i) were included in
the Assets or (ii) were contracted for by the Seller prior to the Closing Date;
provided, however, that such right shall expire three months after the Closing
Date, and further provided that the Buyer's use of such materials is not
misleading to third parties such that they believe that the Seller continues to
be responsible for the Business after the Closing Date.
VIII. TERMINATION
Section 8.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time
prior to the Closing Date:
(a) by the Buyer, if the conditions set forth in Section 5.01
shall not have been complied with or performed in any material respect and such
noncompliance or nonperformance shall not have been waived, cured or eliminated
(or by its nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by the Seller on or before
August 31, 2001; or
(b) by the Seller, if the conditions set forth in Section 5.02

nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by the Buyer on or before August 31, 2001;
or
(c) by the Buyer or the Seller, in the event the Closing Date
has not occurred on or prior to the close of business on August 31, 2001 or such
later date as the parties hereto may agree in writing (unless such event has
been caused by the breach of this Agreement by the party seeking such
termination).
Section 8.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of
this Agreement, whether pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof or otherwise, this
Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and neither party
hereto shall have any liability to any other party hereto or its stockholders or
directors or officers in respect thereof, except as provided in Sections 9.02
and 9.03 hereof or pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Confidentiality Agreement,
except that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any
willful breach hereof.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS

6.03 hereof, the Buyer hereby waives compliance by the Seller with any
applicable bulk transfer laws, including, without limitation, the bulk transfer
provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any state, or any similar statute,
and all bulk sales tax provisions in all states, with respect to the

Buyer and to hold the Buyer harmless from and against any Damages asserted by
any creditor of the Seller against the Buyer for non-compliance by the Seller or
the Buyer with bulk transfer laws and bulk sales tax provisions that may be
applicable to the sale or transfer of the Assets hereunder, except to the extent
