2.04 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
(a) At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of MD Office shall be amended and restated in their entirety so as to be identical to the Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with the CGCL and as provided in such Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article FIRST of the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: The name of the corporation is “MD Office Solutions, Inc.”

(a) Conversion of MD Office Common Stock. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below and throughout this Agreement (including Section 2.06(d)), including, without limitation, the post-closing working capital adjustment and escrow provisions set forth herein, each share of MD Office Common Stock issued and
8
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and any shares of MD Office Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) shall be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive: that number of shares (as adjusted for fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.06(d), as the case may be) of Digirad Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the quotient obtained by dividing $2,684,000 (the “Stock Consideration”) by the Closing Stock Price by (ii) the Diluted Company Shares.
(b) Cancellation of MD Office Common Stock Owned by MD Office. At the Effective Time, all shares of MD Office Common Stock that are owned by MD Office as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or any other consideration paid or issued therefor.

Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional share of Digirad Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the Merger. In lieu thereof, each holder of shares of MD Office Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Digirad Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Digirad Common Stock to be received by such holder at such time) shall be entitled to receive the nearest whole number of shares of Digirad Common Stock (with 0.5 being rounded up).
(e) Escrow. Such number of shares of the Stock Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.06(a), in the amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $125,000 by the Closing Stock Price, shall be issued by Digirad, but not delivered to the Stockholders (such retained stock, the “Escrow Shares”). The Escrow Shares shall be held by Digirad for a period of 6 months pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein under Section 6.05 and Article 7. The portion of the Escrow Shares contributed by each Stockholder shall be based on the proportion of the Stock Consideration to be issued to the Stockholders in respect of shares of MD Office Common Stock held by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger bears to the aggregate Stock Consideration to be issued in respect of all shares of MD Office Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. Set forth opposite each Stockholder’s name in Section 2.06(e) of the Schedules is the number of Escrow Shares to be contributed by each such Stockholder. At Closing, each Stockholder shall deliver a stock power duly executed in blank associated with such Stockholder’s Escrow Shares.
(f) Registration Rights. All shares of Digirad Common Stock deliverable to any Stockholder under this Section 2.06 shall be subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the agreement by each Stockholder to be bound by the terms thereof is a condition to the issuance of such shares.
2.07 Delivery of Merger Consideration.
(a) Digirad shall act as exchange agent hereunder with the reasonable cooperation of MD Office. At the Effective Time, each Stockholder shall deliver the certificates evidencing shares of MD Office Common Stock (“Certificates”), duly endorsed in blank or stock powers duly executed in blank (such documents together with a duly executed counterpart signature page to the Registration Rights Agreement, collectively, being the “Stockholder Documents”), to Digirad or its designated agent, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.07, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a certificate representing shares of Digirad Common Stock.
(b) Promptly after receipt of the appropriate Stockholder Documents, Digirad shall deliver or caused to be delivered to such Stockholder the Stock Consideration to which such Stockholder is entitled under Section 2.06(a), subject to the deposit of any Escrow Shares into escrow in accordance with Section 2.06(e). All certificates evidencing Stock Consideration shall bear a restrictive legend, as required under the Securities Act.
(c) All shares of Digirad Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of MD Office Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of MD Office Common Stock.
(d) In the event any Certificates to be delivered by a Stockholder shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Digirad shall issue certificates representing that number of shares of Stock Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or
9
destroyed Certificates as such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates would entitle the Stockholder to receive under Section 2.06, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Stockholder; provided, however, that Digirad may, in its sole and absolute discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Stockholder, in such case, to provide an indemnity or deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as security against any claim that may be made against Digirad with respect to such Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(e) Digirad shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of MD Office Common Stock such amounts as Digirad is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Digirad, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of MD Office Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Digirad.
(f) Digirad shall issue the shares of Digirad Common Stock in exchange for outstanding shares of MD Office Common Stock as provided in Section 2.06(a) pursuant to an exemption or exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Digirad and MD Office shall comply with all applicable provisions of, and rules under, the Securities Act in connection with offering and issuance of shares of Digirad Common Stock in the Merger.
(g) The value of the Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment only for the Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 2.12 and the payment of Earn-Out Payments pursuant to Section 2.13, which adjustment or payments shall be paid in cash as provided Section 2.12 and Section 2.13.
2.08 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, those shares of MD Office Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by Stockholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger and who comply with all of the relevant provisions of the CGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such Stockholders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under the CGCL, and any such Stockholder shall have only such rights in respect of the Dissenting Shares owned by them as are provided by the relevant provisions of the CGCL. If any such Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such Stockholder’s Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration without any interest thereon, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06.
2.09 No Further Transfer of Shares. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers of MD Office Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or any other securities of MD Office are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article 2. As of the Effective Time, the stock ledger of MD Office shall be closed.
2.10 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the date and time of the completion of the foregoing shall be deemed the “Closing Date”.

If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number greater than $5,000, Digirad shall pay to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share) an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number with an absolute value greater than $5,000, the Stockholders shall pay to Digirad an amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment (the payment referred to in this sentence and the foregoing sentence, as applicable, the “Post-Closing Adjustment Payment”).

During the Review Period, Stockholder and Stockholder’s accountants shall have full access to the books and records of MD Office, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Digirad and/or Digirad’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Digirad’s possession) relating to the Closing Statement as Stockholder may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Digirad or MD Office.
(d) On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Stockholder may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to Digirad a written statement setting forth Stockholder’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Stockholder’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Stockholder fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Stockholder. If Stockholder delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Digirad and Stockholder shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Working Capital Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Working Capital Resolution Period, the Post-Closing
12
Adjustment Payment and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Digirad and Stockholder, shall be final and binding.
(e) If Stockholder and Digirad fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Working Capital Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountants who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, as the case may be, and the Closing Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountants under this Section 2.12 shall be borne jointly and severally by Stockholders unless the adjustments to the Disputed Amounts resulting from Stockholder Representative’s delivery of the Statement of Objections caused change in the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, as amended by Digirad prior to its submission to the Independent Accountants, in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) in favor of Stockholders, in which case such fees and disbursements shall be borne exclusively by Digirad.
(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in Section 2.12(e) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Digirad or Stockholder, as the case may be. All amounts due hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(b).
(g) Any rights accruing to any party under this Section 2.12 shall be in addition to and independent of the rights to indemnification under Article 6 and any payments made to any party under this Section 2.12 shall not be subject to the requirements of Article 6.
(h) Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
2.13 Earn Out.
(a) As part of the Merger Consideration, Digirad shall pay Earn-Out Payments, if any, to the Stockholders on the following terms and conditions: (i) for each of the 2015 Earn-Out Period, the 0000 Xxxx-Xxx Period, and the 2017 Earn-Out Period (each such earn-out period, an “Earn-Out Period” and collectively, the “Earn-Out Term”), to the extent the EBITDA earned by the Surviving Corporation exceeds the applicable Earn-Out Threshold for that Earn-Out Period, Digirad shall pay to each Stockholder his or her Pro Rata Share of fifty percent (50%) of EBITDA earned by the Surviving Corporation in excess of the applicable Earn-Out Threshold for the related Earn-Out Period (each an “Earn-Out Payment”), subject to clause 2.13(a)(ii) below; (ii) fifty percent (50%) of all Earn-Out Payments for the 2015 and 2016 Earn-Out Periods shall be retained by Digirad (and shall accrue interest at a rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 2% simple interest per annum) until the end of the Earn-Out Term in order to satisfy resolution of any Potential Claims and to pay expenses related thereto (the “Earn-Out Escrow”), at which time any amount remaining of the Earn-Out Escrow (plus accrued interest) shall be paid to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share); and (iv) in the aggregate, the Earn-Out Payments shall not exceed $400,000 for the entire Earn-Out Term. By way of illustration and not limitation: (A) if during the 2015 Earn-Out Period (that portion of the 2015 calendar year beginning on the Closing Date), the EBITDA achieved by the Surviving Corporation is $300,000 in excess of the Earn-Out Threshold for such period, such excess EBITDA will be divided $75,000 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share), $75,000 to Digirad for inclusion in the Earn-Out Escrow, and $150,000 to Digirad, (B) if during the 2016 Earn-Out Period (the 2016 calendar year), the EBITDA achieved by the Surviving Corporation is $450,000 in excess of the Earn-Out Threshold for such period, such excess EBITDA will be divided $112,500 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share), $112,500 to Digirad for inclusion in the Earn-Out Escrow, and $225,000 to Digirad, (C) if during the 2017 Earn-Out Period (the 2017 calendar year), the EBITDA achieved by the Surviving Corporation is $50,000 in excess of the Earn-Out Threshold for such period, such excess EBITDA will be divided $25,000 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share) and $25,000 to Digirad and (D) if Digirad used $100,000 of the Earn-Out Escrow amount in connection with expenses related to Potential Claims, Digirad would release $87,500 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share) at the conclusion of the Earn-Out Term.
13
(b) Each Earn-Out Payment shall be made to Stockholders on an annual basis, with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share no later than the earlier of: (a) ten (10) days after Digirad has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC covering the applicable Earn-Out Period, or (b) 105 days after the end of Digirad’s fiscal year covering the applicable Earn-Out Period. Each Earn-Out Payment shall (i) be accompanied by a statement (the “Earn-Out Statement”) that describes in reasonable detail how the Earn-Out Payment was calculated and (ii) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by each Stockholder. Digirad shall send a copy of the Earn-Out Statement to Stockholder Representative at the same time the Earn-Out Statement is sent to Stockholders. Digirad shall, and shall direct its employees to, cooperate with Stockholder Representative and its professionals, and provide them with access to all books and records of MD Office necessary for their review of the Earn-Out Statement.
(c) Stockholder Representative may dispute Digirad’s calculation of any Earn-Out Payment by notifying Digirad in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement (the “Notice of Objection”), within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Earn-Out Statement by the Stockholder Representative. To the extent not set forth in the Notice of Objection, the Stockholder Representative and the Stockholders shall be deemed to have agreed with all other calculations, items and amounts set forth in the Earn-Out Statement. In the event that Stockholder Representative does not deliver an Notice of Objection to Digirad within fifteen (15) days after the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Earn-Out Statement, the Stockholders shall be deemed to have accepted Digirad’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payment set forth in the Earn-Out Statement. In the event that an Notice of Objection is timely delivered, Digirad and Stockholder Representative shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts and exchange any information reasonably requested by the other party for a period of fifteen (15) days after the receipt by Digirad of the Notice of Objection (the “Earn-Out Resolution Period”), or such longer period as they may agree in writing, to resolve any disagreements set forth in the Notice of Objection. If Digirad and Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve such disagreements within the Earn-Out Resolution Period (the items that remain in dispute at the end of such period (the “Unresolved Items”)) then, at any time thereafter, either Stockholder Representative or Digirad may require that an Independent Accountants shall resolve the Unresolved Items. Upon selection of the Independent Accountants, each of Digirad and Stockholder Representative shall submit an analysis of the Unresolved Items. Digirad and Stockholder Representative shall instruct the Independent Accountants to determine as promptly as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date, on which such dispute is referred to the Independent Accountants, based solely on the provisions of this Agreement and the written presentations by Stockholder Representative and Digirad, the value of the Unresolved Items. The determination of the Independent Accountants shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Stockholder Representative and Digirad and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountants under this Section 2.13 shall be borne jointly and severally by Stockholders unless the adjustments to the Unresolved Items resulting from Stockholder Representatives’ delivery of the Notice of Objection caused change in the applicable Earn-Out Payment, as amended by Digirad prior to its submission to the Independent Accountants, in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in favor of Stockholders, in which case such fees and disbursements shall be borne exclusively by Digirad.
(d) In the event an Independent Accountants is not selected or has not agreed to serve within the 10 Business Day period following the Working Capital Resolution Period or the Earn-Out Resolution Period (or such longer period as agreed to in writing by Stockholder Representative and Digirad), then the parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to calculations of or for the Closing Statement, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Earn-Out Payments shall be settled promptly by arbitration pursuant to Section 8.07.

No later than five (5) days prior to the date on which a Tax Return for any Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Stockholders may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Tax Return. Digirad shall cooperate fully in making any reasonable changes and revisions to any Tax Return for any Straddle Period. At least three (3) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return for a Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Stockholders shall pay to Digirad an amount equal to the Tax on such Tax Return to the extent such Tax relates, as determined under Section 6.08(d), to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date.
(c) In the case of a Tax payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of a Tax (other than a Tax based upon or related to income, employment, sales or other transactions, franchise or receipts) be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion ending on the Closing Date of the Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of all of the days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of a Tax based upon or related to income, employment, sales or other transactions, franchise or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date and such Tax was based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
(d) Each party shall promptly forward to the other a copy of all written communications from any Governmental Authority relating to any Tax or Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Upon reasonable request, Digirad and the Stockholders shall each make available to the other all information, records or other documents relating to any Tax or any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Digirad and the Stockholders shall preserve all information, records or other documents relating to a Tax or a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, until the date that is six (6) months after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the Tax or the Tax Return. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any information, records or documents relating to any Tax or any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, the Stockholders shall give to Digirad a reasonable written notice and, to the extent Digirad so requests, the Stockholders shall permit Digirad to take possession of all such information, records and documents. In addition, Digirad and each Stockholder shall cooperate with each other in connection with all matters relating to the preparation of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax and in connection with any Claim relating to any Tax or Tax Return. Nothing in this Section 6.08(e) shall not affect or limit any the indemnity or similar provision or any other representations, warranties or obligations of MD Office or the Stockholders. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in complying with the provisions of this Section 6.08(e).
(e) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Stockholders when due, and the Stockholders will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees. If required by applicable law, the Stockholders will join in the execution of any such Tax returns or other documentation.
(f) The Stockholders shall neither make nor request a refund of any Tax or with respect to any Tax Return or amend any Tax Return, unless Digirad, in its sole discretion, consents. Digirad shall not be obligated to seek or request any refund of any Tax or amend any Tax Return.
(g) Any Tax sharing or similar agreement with respect to or involving MD Office shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, without liability to any party and shall have no further effect for any year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year). Any amounts payable under any Tax sharing or similar agreement shall be cancelled as of the Closing Date, without any liability to MD Office or the Stockholders.
6.09 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
(a) For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, no Stockholder will, without the express written consent of an authorized representative of Digirad, do any of the following within the Territory:
(i) seek or accept employment or enter into any other contractual or other relationship with any entity that is either: (A) a Customer; or (B) in direct or indirect competition with the business of MD Office or Digirad as of the date of this Agreement.
30
(ii) directly or indirectly, on Stockholder’s own behalf or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation, or in any capacity whatsoever, solicit or accept business from any Customers of MD Office or Digirad or encourage any Customer not to do business with MD Office or Digirad.
(iii) directly or indirectly hire, solicit or attempt to hire or solicit: (A) any employee of, or consultant to MD Office or Digirad, or (B) any former employee or consultant that had been rendering services to MD Office or Digirad at anytime within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date.
(b) Each Stockholder agrees that in the event a court determines the length of time, territory or activities prohibited under this Agreement are too restrictive to be enforceable, the court may reduce the scope of the restriction to the extent necessary to make the restriction enforceable.
(c) Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6.09 are essential to the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and that MD Office and Digirad shall be protected by the restrictive covenants. It is a condition precedent to each Stockholder participating in the Agreement and thereby benefiting from the value of MD Office and its Affiliates that each such Stockholder agrees to be bound by the restrictive covenants and the other covenants contained in this Agreement, which each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees are reasonable and necessary for MD Office and Digirad to have and enjoy the benefits of the Transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) For purposes of this Section 6.09, (i) “Customer(s)” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, business or other entity, whether for-profit or not-for-profit public, privately held, or owned by the United States government that is a business entity or individual with whom MD Office or Digirad has done business or with whom Stockholder has actively negotiated during the twenty four (24) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, but “Customer(s)” shall not include any business operations of a Customer outside the Territory; “Customers” shall not include vendors. and (ii) “Territory” shall mean throughout (i) the State of California; and (ii) the area that is within a 180 mile radius of any operating hub of the MD Office, Digirad Corporation, or their parents, subsidiaries, divisions or Affiliates. Such existing locations are set forth on Schedule 6.09. In the event new locations are opened, Digirad shall so advise Stockholder Representative and such new locations shall be deemed added to Schedule 6.09. In no event shall the Territory include the State of Washington, regardless of whether Digirad ultimately does business there.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 6.09, if Stockholder is party to a New Service Agreement, the terms regarding “Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation” included in such New Service Agreement shall govern with regard to restrictions on competition and solicitation, and such Stockholder will be bound by the restrictive covenants and the other covenants contained in such New Service Agreement.
ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION
7.01 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein (other than the Fundamental Representations) shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is 12 months from the Closing Date. The Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. No claim for indemnification may be asserted against any party for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, unless written notice of such claim is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in this Section 7.01.
7.02 Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of Digirad and the Stockholders.
(a) Subject to Section 7.10 and the Side Letter, the Stockholders shall, on a pro rata basis, indemnify Digirad for any and all loss, damage, cost (including allocable costs incurred by employees), reasonable expense (including court costs, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, attorneys’ fees or other expenses for investigating and defending), suit, action, claim, deficiency, liability or obligation (collectively, “Loss”) suffered by Digirad, the Surviving Corporation or any of their officers, directors, agents, stockholders, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Digirad Indemnified Parties”), related to, caused by or arising from (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by MD Office, (ii) Potential Claims, (iii) any Tax relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing
31
Date, or (iv) any failure by MD Office to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other agreement, instrument or other document delivered pursuant hereto.
(b) Subject to Section 7.10 and the Side Letter, each Stockholder, individually and not jointly, shall indemnify Digirad for any and all Losses suffered by any Digirad Indemnified Parties related to, caused by or arising from (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by such Stockholder (but, for purposes of clarity only, other than with respect to Section 3.04, not from any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by MD Office), or (ii) any failure by the Stockholder to fulfill, either prior to or after the Effective Time, any covenant or agreement of such Stockholder contained herein (but, for purposes of clarity only, not from any failure by MD Office to fulfill any covenant or agreement of MD Office contained herein). With respect to any representation or warranty made in Article 3 as to the knowledge of MD Office and/or the Knowledge of the Stockholders, the breach of such representation or warranty shall be deemed to be a breach by MD Office and not such Stockholders.
(c) Digirad shall indemnify the Stockholders for any and all Losses suffered by the Stockholders (the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”), related to, caused by or arising from (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Digirad or Merger Sub, or (b) any failure by Digirad or Merger Sub to fulfill, either prior to or after the Effective Time, any covenant or agreement contained herein.
7.03 Intentionally Omitted.
7.04 Limitation of Indemnification Obligations.
(a) Subject to Section 7.05, the indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 shall be subject to the following limitations:
(i) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.02 (except with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation or any Tax identified under Section 7.02(a)(iii)), with respect to any item or group of related items where the aggregate Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party for such item or group of related items do not exceed $10,000;
(ii) In the event any Losses of a Digirad Indemnified Party are recovered from the Escrowed Consideration, such indemnification shall be paid first from the Escrow Shares (based on the Claim Value of the Escrow Shares); and
(iii) except in the case of fraud, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02 shall not exceed the Maximum Stockholder Liability.
In the event that any Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration are on account of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by one or more (but not all) Stockholders or any failure by one or more (but not all) Stockholders to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein, then the Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration shall only be recovered or deducted from the Escrow Shares or Earn-Out Escrow corresponding to the breaching Stockholder or Stockholders that were placed in the Escrow and shall not be recovered or deducted from any Escrow Shares or Earn-Out Escrow of the non-breaching Stockholder or Stockholders that were placed in the Escrow. For purposes of clarity, in the event that any Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration are on account of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by MD Office or by all (but not less than all) Stockholders or any failure by MD Office or by all (but not less than all) Stockholders to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein, then the Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration shall not be limited to the Escrow Shares or Earn-Out Escrow of any individual Stockholder, but shall be recovered or deducted from the Escrowed Consideration pro rata among all Stockholders.
(b) On the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Effective Time, the Escrowed Consideration then held by Digirad in excess of Digirad’s then-current estimate of the value of any pending indemnification claim(s) (which determination shall be reasonable and in good faith) shall be released to the Stockholders who have interests in the Escrowed Consideration hereunder and the balance retained in escrow; provided that such amount of Escrow Shares so retained shall be determined based upon the closing price per share of Digirad Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the last trading day before such release is to be made. On each such date, any released Escrowed Consideration shall be distributed to the persons who have interests in the Escrowed Consideration hereunder (on a pro rata basis) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such date. Thereafter, upon the resolution or settlement of each claim made against the Escrowed Consideration, the remaining outstanding Escrowed Consideration to be retained shall be determined based upon the Claim Value of the Escrow Shares.
32
7.05 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) A party seeking indemnification under this Article 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party to provide indemnification under this Article 7 (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any Claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under Section 7.02, and, if such Claim, demand, action or proceeding is a third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with respect to any such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding. In connection with any such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession related to such Claim. No such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding, which offer does not involve any injunctive or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party proposes to accept such settlement and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be excused from, and the Indemnified Party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding; and (ii) the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party relating to such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnified Party on such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed settlement. In the event that any party shall fail to make such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any Claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any person for any Losses that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if such efforts had been made.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Digirad seeks recovery pursuant to a claim for indemnification under Section 7.02, the Stockholder Representative shall have 30 days after receipt of the claim notice required pursuant to Section 7.05(a) above to notify Digirad in writing (the “Response Notice”) whether the Stockholders accept liability for all or any part of the Losses described in such claim notice.
(i) If the Stockholder Representative does not so notify Digirad, the Stockholders shall be deemed to accept liability for all the Losses described in the claim notice subject to Section 7.04.
(ii) If in his Response Notice the Stockholder Representative agrees that some or all of the Losses described in Digirad’s claim notice are indemnifiable claims and Losses pursuant to Section 7.02 (or if the Stockholder Representative fails to deliver a Response Notice within the required time period and as such is deemed to have agreed) then Digirad shall have the right to recover such undisputed indemnifiable claims and Losses from the Escrowed Consideration pursuant and subject to Section 7.04 above.
(iii) If the Stockholder Representative gives a Response Notice contesting whether some or all of the Losses described in Digirad’s claim notice are indemnifiable claims and Losses pursuant to Section 7.02, then such dispute shall be resolved as follows:
(A) The Stockholder Representative and Digirad shall attempt to resolve such dispute amicably through good faith discussions upon the request of either party; and
(B) In the event that such dispute cannot be resolved through such discussions within a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the request described in Section 7.5(b)(iii)(A) above, the dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration in the City of San Diego, in the State of California, in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall have the right to grant specific performance, and to allocate the costs of arbitration in such equitable manner as the arbitrator(s) may deem appropriate. In the event the non-prevailing party is a Stockholder, the prevailing party shall receive such reimbursement out of the Escrowed Consideration. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For any dispute submitted to arbitration hereunder, the burden of proof will be as it would be if the claim were litigated in a judicial proceeding.
(c) In the event Digirad seeks indemnification under this Article 7 on account of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by one or more (but not all) Stockholders or any failure by one or more (but not all) Stockholders to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein, then for purposes of this Section 7.05 references to the Stockholder Representative in this Section 7.05 shall refer to such Stockholder or Stockholders individually.
7.06 Share Value. When payments to a Digirad Indemnified Party are to be made from Escrow Shares, such Escrow Shares shall be valued at the closing price per share of Digirad Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the last trading
33
day before such claim is to be paid (the “Claim Value”). In lieu of releasing such Escrow Shares to a Digirad Indemnified Party, the Stockholder Representative may elect to make payment to a Digirad Indemnified Party on behalf of the Stockholders in full, but not partial, satisfaction of the Claim, and the Escrow Shares for which such substitute cash payment is made shall then be released to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis.
7.07 Exceptions to Limitations. Except as set forth in Section 7.10, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies that any party has, or might have, at law, in equity or otherwise, against any other party, based on any fraudulent action, willful misrepresentation or willful breach of any warranty or representation.
7.08 Effect of Investigation or Knowledge. Any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification shall not be adversely affected by any investigation by or opportunity to investigate afforded to Acquiring Parties. Each party shall be deemed to be relying on the representations and warranties of the other party set forth herein regardless of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing Date or the decision of any party to consummate the Transactions.
7.09 Payment of Indemnification Obligations; Set-Off Right. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event any Digirad Indemnified Party has made any claim or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, which claim or claims have not been resolved or satisfied prior to the date of an Earn-Out Payment, Digirad shall have the right to set-off such amount against such Earn-Out Payments on a dollar-for-dollar basis in an amount equal to the aggregate dollar value of such claim or claims (or Digirad’s good faith estimate thereof) until such time as such claim or claims have been finally resolved or satisfied. Any Earn-Out Payments payable by Digirad which are set-off pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall no longer be due or payable by Digirad
7.10 Stockholder Liability. In the event that a Digirad Indemnified Party seeks to satisfy any Losses and the set-off rights of Digirad under Section 7.09 and the value of the Escrowed Consideration fails to fully satisfy the amount of such Losses, such Digirad Indemnified Party may seek payment on account of the unsatisfied amount of such Losses from each Stockholder in an amount up to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses based upon the amount of Merger Consideration paid to such Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Stockholder shall have liability hereunder beyond such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of Maximum Stockholder Liability.
7.11 Indemnity Reimbursement. Although it is the intention of the parties that all indemnification payments or set-offs of Escrowed Consideration be pro-rated between the Stockholders, in the event any indemnification is paid by any Stockholder (or offset against Escrowed Consideration) for any breach caused by MD Office or another Stockholder (collectively “Indemnification Payment”), the Stockholders shall apportion such Indemnification Payment such that each Stockholder is responsible for his/her Pro-Rata Share of such payment. For the sake of clarity, if Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx is required to pay indemnity of $20,000 on account of a breach by MD Office, Xxxxx Xxxxx shall reimburse Xx. Xxxxxx for $7,000 (35%) and Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall reimburse Xx. Xxxxxx for $2,000 (10%).

8.07 Arbitration. Unless otherwise provided herein, all disputes under this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in the City of San Diego, in the State of California, before a panel of three arbitrators pursuant to the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration may be commenced at any time by any of Digirad, Merger Sub, MD Office, the Surviving Corporation or the Stockholder Representative by giving written notice to each other party to a dispute that such dispute has been referred to arbitration under this Section 8.07. Each of the Acquiring Parties (or any single member thereof), on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, shall select one of the arbitrators within 15 days after the date of the notice of arbitration described above; and each shall give the other written notice of the name, and address of the arbitrator it selected. The two arbitrators so selected shall jointly agree on the selection of the third arbitrator, but if they do not so agree within 30 days after the date of the notice of arbitration described above, the selection of the third arbitrator shall be made pursuant to the rules from the panels of arbitrators maintained by the American Arbitration Association. None of the arbitrators shall have had any past or present relationship with or interest in any of the parties or any of their respective Affiliates. Any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such award shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrators giving the reasons for the award. This provision for arbitration shall be specifically enforceable by the parties and the decision of the arbitrators in accordance herewith shall be final and binding and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made by any party with respect to any dispute, claim or other matter after the date on which litigation based on such dispute, claim or other matter would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrator selected by it, and the expenses of the third arbitrator shall be equally shared; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the arbitrators any claim for indemnification or any defense or objection thereto was unreasonable, the arbitrator may assess, as part of his award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and of the arbitrator against the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense or objection.
8.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR
36
ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.08(b).
8.09 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remainder hereof, and the application of such provision to such Person or circumstance in any other jurisdiction or to other Persons or circumstances in any jurisdiction, shall not be affected thereby, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement shall be severable.
8.10 No Third-party Beneficiaries. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties and, in the case of Article 7, the other Digirad Indemnified Parties, and their heirs, administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
8.11 Stockholder Representative. By virtue of the Stockholders’ adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger, and without further act of any Stockholder, the Stockholders shall be deemed to have appointed Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx as the agent and attorney-in-fact for each Stockholder (except such Stockholders, if any, holding Dissenting Shares) to act on behalf of the Stockholders with respect to any and all matters, claims, controversies, or disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents and to take any action on behalf of the Stockholders thereunder (the “Stockholder Representative”). If more than one Person acts as the Stockholder Representative, a decision of a majority of such Persons shall be conclusive. In the event of the death, disability or resignation of a Stockholder Representative, a successor may be appointed by a majority in interest of the Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall have the power to take any and all actions which the Stockholder Representative believes are necessary or appropriate or in the best interests of the Stockholders, as fully as if each such Stockholder was acting on its, his or her own behalf with respect to the Merger and all claims for indemnification under this Agreement and to take any action or no action in connection therewith as the Stockholder Representative may deem appropriate as effectively as the Stockholders could act themselves, including the settlement or compromise of any dispute or controversy. The authority granted hereunder is deemed to be coupled with an interest. The death or incapacity of any Stockholder shall not terminate the authority and agency of the Stockholder Representative. Digirad shall have the right to rely on any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative as being the act or omission of the Stockholders, without the need for any inquiry, and any such actions or omissions shall be binding upon each of the Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall incur no liability, loss, damage or expense as a result of any action taken in good faith hereunder, including any legal fees and expenses.
8.12 Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in numbered sections corresponding to the Sections and subsections of this Agreement to which they relate. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless such exception is identified specifically in the applicable section of the Disclosure Schedule and shall be complete with cross references where appropriate which, in such case, shall constitute the only valid disclosure with respect to such Section(s) hereof.
8.13 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereby acknowledge that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were

not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each of the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of any of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in such action or suit shall be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit, if in such action or suit the principal claim or defense of the non-prevailing party is held to be without merit because it was not reasonably supported by Laws or material and relevant facts.
