specifically set forth on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto
(collectively, the “ Excluded Assets
”).
1.2 Assumed
Obligations . At the Closing, Purchaser shall
assume and agree to pay, satisfy, perform and discharge as the same
shall become due only the liabilities of Seller Companies,
including all post-Closing obligations under (i) existing Contracts
that are included among the Acquired Assets (other than obligations
or liabilities as the result of the breach of any such Contract

set forth on Schedule 1.2(a) attached hereto and (iii)

Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.2(a)
attached hereto (the “ Assumption Agreement ”).
Each of the Contracts assumed hereunder is independently assumed
subject to the representations, warranties (including that such
Contract is not in default on the Closing Date), covenants and
conditions made herein as to that Contract. Except as
expressly set forth in this Section 1.2 and Schedule
1.2(a) attached hereto, Purchaser shall not assume or otherwise
be responsible at any time for any liability, obligation, debt or
commitment of any Seller Company or Parent, whether absolute or

obligations, debts or commitments of Seller Companies or Parent (a)
incident to, arising out of or incurred with respect to this
Agreement and the agreements, documents, instruments, and

applicable Seller Companies to Purchaser free and clear of any and
all Liens, Claims and Orders.
1.4 Purchase

warranties, covenants and agreements of Parent and Seller Companies

transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser agrees to assume the

cash amount equal to (i) Eight Million Eight Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($8,800,000.00); minus (ii) the aggregate amount of
Seller Companies’ Assumed Indebtedness calculated as of the
Closing Date; minus (iii) the Imaging Centers Capital
Expenditures; minus (iv) the Escrow Amount; plus or
minus (v) the Purchase Price adjustments set forth in
Section 1.8.1 (such net amount being referred to as the “
Purchase Price ”). The Purchase Price shall
be paid to Seller Companies by wire transfer of immediately
available funds on the Closing Date.
1.5 Allocation
of Purchase Price . Parent, Seller Companies and
Purchaser agree to allocate the aggregate Purchase Price and, to
the extent required, the Assumed Liabilities and relevant
transaction costs, among the Acquired Assets in accordance with
Section 1060 of the Code. Parent, Seller Companies and

mutually agreed to by Purchaser, Parent and Seller Companies in
good faith within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Parent
or Seller Companies shall notify Purchaser within thirty (30) days
of receipt of such draft allocation of any objection Parent or
Seller Companies may have thereto. Parent, Seller
Companies and Purchaser agree to resolve any disagreement with

timely any information that may be required to be filed pursuant to
Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1060(b) of the Code,
and shall use the allocation determined pursuant to this Section
1.5 in connection with the preparation of Internal Revenue
Service Form 8594 as such form relates to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) shall each timely report
the federal, state and local income and other Tax consequences of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner
consistent with such allocation, including the preparation and
filing of Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code (or any
successor form or successor provision of any future Tax law, and
any comparable provision of state, or local Tax law) with their
respective federal, state and local income Tax returns for the
taxable year that includes the Closing Date. Neither
Purchaser nor any Seller Company shall file any Tax Return
inconsistent with the allocation determined pursuant to this
Section 1.5 except as may be adjusted by subsequent
agreement following an audit by the IRS or by court
decision.
1.6 Assumed
Indebtedness . In addition to the Assumed
Obligations, and subject to the Purchase Price adjustments set
forth in Section 1.4, Purchaser shall assume Seller
Companies’ outstanding Indebtedness as of the Closing Date

that such Assumed Indebtedness is properly and accurately reflected
in the Financial Statements and shall not exceed an aggregate
amount of One Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,600,000)
(“ Indebtedness Cap ”). In the event
the calculation of the Assumed Indebtedness is greater than the
Indebtedness Cap, Parent and Seller Companies shall be liable and
responsible, jointly and severally, for such Indebtedness in excess
of the Indebtedness Cap.
1.7.1 On the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent an aggregate
cash amount equal to Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000)
(the “ Escrow Amount ”) for the purpose of
securing the indemnification obligations of Seller Companies and
Parent and the post-closing adjustments of the Purchase Price set
forth in this Agreement, of which (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000) (the “ Indemnification Escrow Amount
”) may be used by Purchaser, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to satisfy any indemnification Claim under this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated by this
Agreement, and (ii) One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000)
(the “ Working Capital Escrow Amount ”) may be
used by Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, to satisfy
the post-Closing adjustments of the Purchase Price pursuant to
Section 1.8. The Escrow Amount shall be held by the
Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.7.1 attached hereto
(the “ Escrow Agreement ”). The
Escrow Amount shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be
subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other
judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held
and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the
terms of the Escrow Agreement.
1.7.2 Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, not later than six
(6) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser and Parent will cause
the Escrow Agent to remit to Parent Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000) of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, less the
sum of any amounts which are owed to or have been retained by
Purchaser from the Indemnification Escrow Amount in satisfaction of
any indemnification Claims of Purchaser, any pending, unresolved
Claims of Purchaser, or any other obligations of any of the Seller
Companies or Parent under this Agreement or any agreements,
documents, instruments, and transactions contemplated
hereby.
1.7.3 Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, not later than twelve
(12) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser and Parent will cause
the Escrow Agent to remit to Seller the remaining Indemnification
Escrow Amount held by Purchaser, less the sum of any amounts which
are owed to or have been retained by Purchaser from the
Indemnification Escrow Amount in satisfaction of any
indemnification Claims of Purchaser, any pending, unresolved Claims
of Purchaser, or any other obligations of any of Seller Companies
or Parent under this Agreement or any agreements, documents,
instruments, and transactions contemplated hereby (other than any
amounts retained under Section 1.7.2).
1.7.4 Upon the final
resolution of any unresolved Claims of Purchaser, if it is
determined that all, or any portion of the remaining
Indemnification Escrow Amount, is due to Parent, Purchaser and
Parent shall cause the Escrow Agent to make such payment to Parent,
less any amount due to Purchaser.
1.7.5 Purchaser shall
have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to satisfy any
amount owed to Purchaser in satisfaction of any indemnification
Claim or any other obligations of any of the Seller Companies or
Parent under this Agreement or any agreements, documents,

with GAAP and the procedures set forth on Schedule 1.8.1
attached hereto. Purchaser shall also make available to Parent

any items therein) and the Closing Date Working Capital calculation
and make any proposed adjustments thereto as provided in Section

actual payment.
1.8.2 Dispute
Resolution Procedures . Parent shall
have until five (5) days after the delivery of the Closing Date
Working Capital calculation, to review such calculation and propose
any adjustments thereto. All adjustments proposed by
Parent shall be set out in detail in a written statement delivered
to Purchaser (the “ Adjustment Statement ”) and
shall be incorporated into the Closing Date Balance Sheet, unless
Purchaser shall object in writing to such proposed adjustments (the
proposed adjustment or adjustments to which Purchaser objects are
referred to herein as the “ Contested Adjustments
” and Purchaser’s objection notice is referred to
herein as the “ Contested Adjustment Notice ”)
within five (5) days of delivery by Parent to Purchaser of the
Adjustment Statement. If Purchaser delivers a Contested
Parent Adjustment Notice to Parent, Purchaser and Parent shall
attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute regarding the
Contested Adjustments, but if a final resolution thereof is not
obtained within five (5) days after Purchaser delivers to Parent
said Contested Adjustment Notice, either Purchaser or Parent may
retain for the benefit of all the parties hereto a nationally
recognized independent accounting firm acceptable to both Parent
and Purchaser (the “ Independent Accountant ”)
to resolve any remaining disputes concerning the Contested
Adjustments. If the Independent Accountant is retained,
then (i) Parent and Purchaser shall each submit to the Independent
Accountant in writing not later than five (5) days after the
Independent Accountant is retained their respective positions with
respect to the Contested Adjustments, together with such supporting
documentation as they deem necessary or as the Independent
Accountant requests, and (ii) the Independent Accountant shall,
within thirty (30) days after receiving the positions of both
Parent and Purchaser and all supplementary supporting documentation
requested by the Independent Accountant, render its decision as to
the Contested Adjustments, which decision shall be final and
binding on, and nonappealable by, Parent and
Purchaser. The fees and expenses of the Independent
Accountant shall be paid by the party whose estimate of the Closing
Date Working Capital is furthest from the Independent
Accountant’s calculation of the Closing Date Working
Capital. The decision of the Independent Accountant
shall also include a certificate of the Independent Accountant
setting forth the final Closing Date Working Capital calculation
(the “ Settlement Amount Certificate
”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be deemed
to include all proposed adjustments not disputed by Purchaser and
those adjustments accepted or made by the decision of the
Independent Accountant in resolving the Contested
Adjustments.
1.8.3 There shall be a
“ Settlement Date ” after the calculation
of the Closing Date Working Capital which shall mean the following,
as applicable:
(a) If Parent has not
timely delivered an Adjustment Statement to Purchaser, fifteen (15)
days after the date Parent receives the Closing Date Working
Capital calculation;
(b) If Parent has
timely delivered an Adjustment Statement and Purchaser has not
timely delivered a Contested Adjustment Notice, five (5) days after
the date Purchaser receives the Adjustment Statement;
(c) If Parent and
Purchaser have any disputes regarding Contested Adjustments and
they resolve those disputes without the Independent Accountant,
five (5) business days after such resolution;
(d) Five (5) business
days after the Independent Accountant delivers the Settlement
Amount Certificate, if applicable; or
(e) Such other date as
shall be agreed between Parent and Purchaser.

Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, are free and clear of any and all Liens, Orders,
Contracts or other limitations whatsoever, other than the Permitted
Liens, and have been issued in compliance with all applicable
securities laws. Parent is the record and beneficial
owner and holder of, and has good and marketable title to, the
Equity Interests, free and clear of any and all Liens, Orders,
Contracts or other limitations whatsoever, other than the Permitted
Liens. All of the Equity Interests were acquired from
third parties or Seller Companies in compliance with all applicable
Regulations, free and clear of any rescission and Contract
rights. There are no existing agreements, Options,
warrants, rights, calls or commitments of any character to which
any Seller Company is a party, or by which any Seller Company is

Interests, or for the repurchase or redemption of Equity Interests,

aspect of any Seller Company’s governance or dividends or

Interests. No Seller Company has redeemed any Equity
Interests in violation of any Contract, Order or Regulation and
there are no existing Contracts or Options between Parent on the
one hand, and any other Person, on the other hand, regarding the

complete and correct in all material respects and contain all of
the proceedings of the directors and managers of each Seller
Company, as applicable. A true and complete list of the
incumbent managers, directors and officers of each Seller Company,
as applicable, is set forth in Schedule 2.4 attached
hereto. No Seller Company has any of its records,
systems, controls, data or information recorded, stored,
maintained, operated or otherwise wholly or partly dependent upon
or held by any means (including any electronic, mechanical or
photographic process, whether computerized or not) that (including
all means of access thereto and therefrom) are not under the
exclusive ownership and direct control of Seller
Companies.

Company and Parent have full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and the agreements, documents and transactions
contemplated hereby to which Seller Companies or Parent are parties
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and all other agreements and transactions contemplated

Directors or the Board of Managers, as applicable, of each Seller
Company, and no other corporate proceedings on their part are
necessary to authorize this Agreement or any of the agreements,
documents and transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except

hereafter in effect, of general application relating to or

delivery and performance by Seller Companies and Parent of this

(including the Acquired Assets) or the Equity Interests are
subject. Parent and each Seller Company have complied
with all applicable Regulations and Orders in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
agreements and transaction contemplated hereby.
2.6 Title and
Related Matters .
2.6.1 Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.6.1 attached hereto, Seller
Companies have good and marketable title to all real and personal,
tangible and intangible, property and other assets reflected in the
Financial Statements or acquired after the Financial Statement
Date, free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Orders except
Permitted Liens. All properties used in the Business for
the periods covered by the Financial Statements are reflected in
the Financial Statements in accordance with and to the extent
required on an accrual accounting basis. Schedule
2.6.1 attached hereto sets forth a complete and accurate
summary of all leased assets that have annual rental payments in
excess of $10,000, describing the expiration date of such lease,
the name of the lessor, the annual rental payment and whether a
consent is required from the lessor to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.
2.6.2 All Parent’s
and Seller Companies’ leases that are part of the Acquired
Assets are in full force and effect, and valid and enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms. Neither Parent
nor any Seller Company has received any notice of, and there exists
no event of default or event which constitutes or would constitute
(with notice or lapse of time or both), any default by Parent, any
Seller Company or any other Person under any lease. All
rent and other amounts due and payable with respect to
Parent’s and Seller Companies’ leases that are part of
the Acquired Assets have been paid through the date of this
Agreement, and all rent and other amounts due and payable with
respect to Parent’s and Seller Companies’ leases that
are part of the Acquired Assets and are due and payable on or prior
to the Closing Date will have been paid prior to the Closing
Date. All lessors under the leases that are part of the
Acquired Assets have consented (where such consent is necessary) or
prior to the Closing will have consented (where such consent is
necessary) to the transactions contemplated pursuant to this
Agreement and the agreements, documents and transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby without requiring material
modification in the rights or obligations
thereunder. Neither Parent nor any Seller Company has
received any written notice that the landlord with respect to any
real property lease that is part of the Acquired Assets would
refuse to renew such lease upon expiration of the period thereof
upon substantially the same terms, except for rent increases
consistent with past experience or market rentals.
2.6.3 None of the
Acquired Assets belonging to Parent or Seller Companies is or will
be on the Closing Date subject to any (i) Contracts of sale or
lease except as set forth in Schedule 2.6.3 attached hereto,
except Contracts for the sale of inventory in the ordinary and
regular course of business or (ii) Liens, except for Permitted
Liens and the Liens set forth in Schedule 2.6.3
attached hereto.
2.6.4 Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.6.4 attached hereto, the buildings,
structures and improvements included within the Acquired
Assets’ real property (collectively, the “
Improvements ”) have complied and comply in all
material respects with all applicable Regulations, including
building and zoning ordinances and no material alteration, repair,
improvement or other work that could give rise to a Lien has been
performed in respect to such Improvements within the last 120
days. The Improvements and the mechanical systems
situated therein, including without limitation the heating,
electrical, air conditioning and plumbing systems, are in good
operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and are adequate and suitable for the purposes for which they are
presently being used, and the roof of each Improvement is in
satisfactory condition and is not in need of current repair or
replacement. The Acquired Assets’ real property
and its continued use, occupancy and operation as currently used,
occupied and operated does not constitute a nonconforming use under
any Regulation or Order affecting the real property (other than
possible set back violations, none of which will have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Business’s real property or its
continued use, occupancy and operation as currently used, occupied
and operated), and the continued existence, use, occupancy and
operation of each Improvement, and the right and ability to repair
and/or rebuild such Improvements in the event of casualty, is not
dependent on any special Permit, exception, approval or
variance. There is no pending or, to the knowledge of
Parent and Seller Companies, threatened or proposed proceeding or
governmental action to modify the zoning classification of, or to
take by the power of eminent domain (or to purchase in lieu
thereof), or to classify as a landmark, or to impose special
assessments on, or otherwise to take or restrict in any way the
right to use, develop or alter, all or any part of the
Business’ real property that would have a Material Adverse
Effect. To the knowledge of Parent and Seller Companies,
there are no encroachments upon any of the Business’ real
property, and no portion of any Improvement owned by Parent or
Seller Companies encroaches upon any property not included within
the Business’ real property or upon the area of any easement
affecting the Business’ real property. Each
Improvement has direct access, adequate for the Business, in the
ordinary course, to a public street adjoining the Business’
real property on which such Improvement is situated, and, to the
knowledge of Parent and Seller Companies, no existing way of access
to any Improvement crosses or encroaches upon any property or
property interest not included in the Acquired Assets.
2.6.5 There has not been
since the Financial Statement Date, and will not be prior to the
Closing Date, any sale, lease, or any other disposition or
distribution by Parent or any Seller Company of any Acquired
Assets, now or hereafter owned by it, except transactions in the
ordinary and regular course of business or as otherwise consented
to by Purchaser. Immediately after the Closing,
Purchaser will own, or have the unrestricted right to use, all
properties and assets that are used (or necessary) in connection
with the Business, except for the Excluded Assets, on the same
economic basis as before the Closing.
2.6.6 The Acquired
Assets constitute all of the assets necessary or appropriate for
the continued operation of the Business.
2.6.7 All of the
Acquired Assets consisting of tangible assets are located at the
Locations and are in good working condition, except for reasonable
wear and tear, and are sufficient for the purposes for which such
Acquired Assets are currently used and for the purpose proposed to
be used in the operations of the Business pursuant to the
transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement and the
agreements, documents and transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. No Seller Company nor Parent is aware of the
need to replace or purchase any material equipment for use in the
operation of the Business prior to Closing or after the Closing
pursuant to the transactions contemplated pursuant to this
Agreement and the agreements, documents and transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, except as related to the Imaging
Centers Capital Expenditures. All such Acquired Assets
are reflected in the Financial Statements at net book
value.
2.7 Financial
Statements .
2.7.1 Attached hereto as
Schedule 2.7.1 are (i) unaudited profit and loss statements
and balance sheets of each Seller Company for each twelve (12)
month period ended September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and
(ii) a detailed calculation of the billings, collections and scans
performed in connection with the Business for the four (4) month
period ended January 31, 2009 (collectively herein referred to as
the “ Financial Statements ” and September 30,
2008 is herein referred to as the “ Financial Statement
Date ”). The balance sheets fairly present the
financial position of each Seller Company as of the dates set forth
therein, in accordance with accrual accounting
methods. The Financial Statements were prepared from the
books and records of Seller Companies. Seller Companies
do not utilize any percentage of completion or similar method of
accounting for revenue, income or cost recognition
purposes. No Seller Company has in the past three (3)
fiscal years written off any research and development costs,
incurred any reorganization, restructuring or similar costs or
changed the book value of any assets, liabilities or goodwill of
any business acquired by such Seller Company. No Seller
Company has any obligation to make any Investments in any
Person. All properties used in the Business during the
period covered by the Financial Statements are reflected in the
Financial Statements in accordance with and to the extent required
by accrual accounting methods.
2.7.2 Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.7.2 attached hereto, no Seller
Company has any Indebtedness, obligation or liability (whether
accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise, known or
unknown to Seller Companies, whether due or to become due) arising
out of transactions entered into at or prior to the Closing Date,
or any state of facts existing at or prior to the Closing Date,
other than: (i) liabilities set forth in the September
30, 2008 balance sheets of Seller Companies, or (ii) liabilities
and obligations that have arisen after September 30, 2008 in the
ordinary course of business (none of which is a liability resulting
from breach of a Contract, Regulation, Order or warranty, tort,
infringement or Claim).
2.7.3 Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.7.3 attached hereto, there is no
Person that has Guaranteed, or provided any financial accommodation
of, any Indebtedness, obligation or liability of any Seller Company
or for the benefit of any Seller Company for the periods covered by
the Financial Statements other than as set forth in the Financial
Statements. Seller Companies’ accounting systems
and controls are sufficient to detect material fraud and
inaccuracies in the financial reporting processes and
reports.
2.8 Absence of
Certain Changes . Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.8 attached hereto, since the Financial Statement
Date, there has not been any (a) Material Adverse Change in the
business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or
otherwise), results, plans, strategies or prospects of any Seller
Company; (b) damage, destruction or loss, whether covered by
insurance or not, having a cost of $10,000 or more, with regard to
Seller Companies’ property and business; (c) declaration,
setting aside or payment of any dividend or distribution (whether
in cash, ownership interest or property) with respect to any of the
Equity Interests; (d) redemption or other acquisition of any of the
Equity Interests; (e) increase in the compensation payable to or to
become payable by any Seller Company to its officers or employees
working in the Business or any adoption of or increase in any
bonus, insurance, pension or other employee benefit plan, payment
or arrangement made to, for or with any such officers or employees
or any Affiliate of any Seller Company; (f) entry into any material
Contract not in the ordinary course of business, including without
limitation, any borrowing from any new lender or in excess of the
existing credit limits or capital expenditure (except for the
capital expenditures set forth in Schedule 2.30 attached
hereto); (g) change by any Seller Company in accounting methods or
principles or any write-down, write-up or revaluation of any
Acquired Assets of any Seller Company, except depreciation
accounted for in the ordinary course of business and write downs of
inventory which reflect the lower of cost or market and which are
in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with accrual
accounting methods; (h) failure to promptly pay and discharge
current liabilities or agree with any party to extend the payment
of any current liability; (i) Lien placed on any of the Acquired
Assets other than Permitted Liens; (j) sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, license or otherwise placement of a Lien on any of the
Acquired Assets, except in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice, or canceled any material debts or
Claims; (k) sale, assignment, transfer, lease, license or
otherwise placement of a Lien on any Intellectual Property rights
or other intangible assets, disclosure of any material confidential
information to any Person or abandoned or permitted to lapse any
Intellectual Property rights; (l) making of, or commitment to make,
any charitable contributions or pledges exceeding in the aggregate
$25,000; or (m) agreement, whether orally or in writing, to do any
of the foregoing.
2.9 Accounts
Receivable . The gross amount of the accounts
receivable and notes receivable of Seller Companies reflected in
the Financial Statements and the gross amount of such additional
accounts receivable as are reflected on the books of Seller
Companies on the date hereof represent the gross amount of all
outstanding accounts and notes receivable of Seller Companies and
are current, good and collectible against account debtors for
services rendered in accordance with the usual business practices
and historical collection experience of Seller Companies and are
subject to no counterclaims, and have been outstanding for the
periods indicated in the aging analysis at Schedule 2.9
attached hereto. The gross amount of all outstanding
accounts and notes receivable of Seller Companies are due, valid,
genuine and subsisting Claims against account debtors arising out
of bona fide services rendered in accordance with the usual
business practices and historical collection experience of Seller
Companies and are subject to no counterclaims, defenses, deductions
or set-offs and have been outstanding for the periods indicated in
the aging analysis at Schedule 2.9 attached hereto. No
Seller Company nor Parent knows of any reason why such accounts
receivable would not be collectible by Seller Companies according
to approximately the same ratios as accounts receivable have been
historically collectible by Seller Companies. The gross
amount of all outstanding accounts and notes receivable included on
Schedule 2.9 attached hereto and generated through the
Closing Date arose in the ordinary course of
business. No Seller Company has incurred any liabilities
to patients for discounts except as provided in the Financial
Statements.

obligations required to be performed by it and is not in default in
any respect under or in breach of nor in receipt of any Claim of

2.21 Intellectual
Property .
2.21.1 Schedule
2.21.1 attached hereto is a complete and accurate list of all
Intellectual Property used or held for use in the Business by
Seller Companies or Parent. To the extent indicated on
such schedule, the Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule
2.21.1 attached hereto has been duly registered in, filed in or
issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United
States Copyright Office, a duly accredited and appropriate domain
name registrar, the appropriate offices in the various states of
the United States and the appropriate offices of other
jurisdictions (foreign and domestic), and each such registration,
filing and issuance remains in full force and effect as of the
Closing Date. Copies of all items of Business
Intellectual Property on Schedule 2.21.1 attached hereto and
other material Intellectual Property used or held for use in the
Business, which have been reduced to writing or other
tangible form, have been delivered by Seller Companies to Purchaser
(including, without limitation true and complete copies of all
related licenses, and amendments and modifications
thereto).
2.21.2 Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.21.2 attached hereto, no Seller Company
is a party to any license or Contract, whether as licensor,
licensee, or otherwise with respect to any Intellectual Property.
To the extent any Intellectual Property is used under license in
the Business by Seller Companies, no notice of a material default
has been sent or received by any Seller Company under any such
license that remains uncured, and the execution, delivery or
performance of Seller Companies’ obligations hereunder will
not result in such a default. Each such license
agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller
Companies and each of the other parties thereto, enforceable in
accordance with the terms thereof.
2.21.3 Seller Companies
exclusively own or are licensed to use all of the Business
Intellectual Property used or held for use in the Business, free
and clear of any Liens, Orders and other adverse Claims, without
obligation to pay any royalty or any other fees with respect
thereto. Seller Companies do not use any Intellectual
Property other than the Business Intellectual Property and other
Intellectual Property licensed to Seller Companies pursuant to
valid and enforceable license agreements. To the
knowledge of Parent and Seller Companies, Seller Companies’
use of the Business Intellectual Property (including, without
limitation, the manufacturing, marketing, licensing, sale or
distribution of products and the general conduct and operations of
the Business) does not violate, infringe, misappropriate or misuse
any intellectual property rights of any third party. No
Business Intellectual Property has been cancelled, abandoned or
otherwise terminated and all renewal and maintenance fees in
respect thereof have been duly paid. There are no
actions that must be taken or payments that must be made by Seller
Companies within 180 days following the Closing Date that, if not
taken, will adversely affect Business Intellectual
Property. Seller Companies have the exclusive right to
file, prosecute and maintain all applications and registrations
with respect to the Business Intellectual Property.
2.21.4 Neither Parent nor
any Seller Company has received any written notice or Claim from
any third party challenging the right of any Seller Company to use
any of the Business Intellectual Property or other Intellectual
Property. The Business Intellectual Property, together
with the other Intellectual Property licensed to Seller Companies
pursuant to valid and enforceable license agreements, constitutes
all the Intellectual Property necessary to operate the Business as
of the Closing Date and thereafter, in the manner in which it is
presently operated and pursuant to the transactions contemplated
pursuant to this Agreement and the agreements, documents and
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
2.21.5 Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.21.5 attached hereto, no Seller Company
has made any Claim in writing of a violation, infringement, misuse
or misappropriation by any third party (including, without
limitation, any employee or former employee of such Seller Company)
of its rights to, or in connection with any Business Intellectual
Property, which Claim is still pending. Except as set
forth in Schedule 2.21.5 attached hereto, no Seller Company
has entered into any Contract to indemnify any other Person against
any charge of infringement of any Intellectual Property, other than
indemnification provisions contained in purchase orders or license
agreements arising in the ordinary course of business.
2.21.6 To the best
knowledge of Parent and Seller Companies, there are no pending or
threatened Claims by any Person or Authority of any violation,
infringement, misuse or misappropriation by Seller Companies of any
Intellectual Property owned by any third party, or of the
invalidity of any patent or registration of a copyright, trademark,
service mark, domain name, or trade name included in Business
Intellectual Property. No Seller Company nor Parent
knows of any valid basis for any such Claim(s).
2.21.7 Seller Companies
have taken all necessary and reasonable steps to protect and
preserve the confidentiality of all trade secrets, know-how, source
codes, databases, customer lists, schematics, ideas, algorithms and
processes and all use, disclosure or appropriation thereof by or to
any third party has been pursuant to the terms of a written
agreement between such third party and Seller
Companies. No Seller Company has breached any Contracts
of non-disclosure or confidentiality.
2.21.8 None of the
Intellectual Property used, owned or licensed by HealthIXS
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, is used in,
related to, licensed by or necessary in any manner whatsoever for
the operation of the Business or the ownership of the Acquired
Assets.
2.21.9 For the twelve
(12) month period prior to the Closing Date, the Internet domain
names and URLs of Business Intellectual Property (together with any
content and other materials accessible and/or displayed thereon,
the “ Sites ”) direct and resolve to the
appropriate Internet protocol addresses and are, and have been,
maintained and accessible to Internet users on those certain
computers used by Seller Companies to make the Sites so accessible
(the “ Server ”) approximately twenty-four (24)
hours per day, seven (7) days per week (“ 24/7
”) and are and have been operational for downloading content
from the Server on a 24/7 basis. Seller Companies have
fully operational back-up copies of the Sites (and all related
software, databases and other information), made from the current
versions of the Sites as accessible to Internet users on the Server
(and copied directly therefrom), which copies will have been made
at least every two weeks from the date hereof until the Closing
Date. Such back-up copies are kept in a safe and secure
environment, fit for the back-up of media, and are not located at
the same location of the Server. Seller Companies have
no reason to believe that the Sites will not operate on the Server
or will not continue to be accessible to Internet users on a 24/7
basis prior to, at the time of, and after the Closing
Date.
2.22 Employee
Benefit Plans .
