ordinary course of business, such are usually and customarily
located, together with all the Books and Records.
1.5. Consents to Assignment. Any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute
an agreement to assign or otherwise sell, convey or
transfer any concession, claim, contract, license, lease,
commitment, sales order, or purchase order, or any benefit
arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted
assignment thereof, without the consent required or necessary
for such assignment, would constitute a breach thereof or
in any way adversely affect the rights of the Purchaser or the
Sellers thereunder. If such consent is not obtained, or if
an attempted assignment would be ineffective or would adversely
affect the Sellers' rights thereunder so that the Purchaser
would not in fact receive all such rights, the Sellers shall
cooperate in any arrangement the Purchaser may at its option
reasonably request in writing to provide for the Purchaser the
benefits under any such concession, claim, contract, li
cense, lease, commitment or order, including enforcement for
the benefit of the Purchaser of any and all rights of the
Sellers with respect to the Business against any other party
thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof
by such party or otherwise; and any transfer or assignment of
any property, property right, contract or agreement which
shall require the consent or approval of any other party, and
the Purchaser's assumption of the Sellers' obligations
thereunder in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, shall be
made subject to such consent or approval being obtained;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 1.5
shall relieve the Sellers of any obligation provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement to obtain any such consents or
approvals or shall affect the liability, if any, of the
Sellers, and the rights, if any, of the Purchaser, pursuant to
this Agreement, for the failure of the Sellers to have disclosed
the need for, and failing to obtain, any such consents or
approvals.
1.6. Collection of Accounts Receivable; Right of Endorsement. From

account debtors of any Accounts Receivable or other accounts
receivable created by the Purchaser following the Closing

Receivable (each a "Payment") directly to the Purchaser; and

Purchaser, without recourse, any Payment (including, without
limitation, any check or other evidence of indebtedness)
received by the Purchaser or the Sellers on account of any Asset
transferred by the Sellers pursuant to the terms hereof,
which check or other evidence of indebtedness has the name of any
one or more of the Sellers as the payee thereof. PCN and the
Purchaser shall have the right and authority to endorse,
without recourse, any Payment received by PCN or the Purchaser
in account of any Purchaser Receivable. For the period of

the reserve shown in the Accounts Receivable Schedule
with respect to the collection of the Accounts Receivable shown

2.3. Allocations of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will be
allocated as set forth on Schedule 2.3 hereto.
Sellers and Purchaser shall use and cause to be used such
allocation for all federal, state and local income tax

3.1. Assumption. Upon transfer of the Assets on the Closing Date,
and subject to Section 3.2 hereof, the Purchaser will assume (and
hereby does assume) and thereafter pay, perform and
discharge, when due, to the extent not paid, performed or
discharged by the Sellers on or before the Closing Date, the
Assumed Liabilities. As used herein, the term "Assumed
Liabilities" shall mean, collectively: (i) all of the
liabilities and obligations of the Sellers (or any of them)
arising in the ordinary course of business related to or
arising under the End-User Agreements listed on Schedule

Closing Date under the Equipment Leases.
Nothing contained in this Section 3.1 is intended to,
or shall be construed so as to create any third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement or otherwise confer any rights
upon any person, firm or corporation that is not a party
hereto, including, without limitation, any employee of any
of the Sellers. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, it
is not the intention of either the Purchaser or the Sellers
that the assumption by the Purchaser of the Assumed
Liabilities shall in any way enlarge the rights of third
parties under contracts or arrangements with the Purchaser
or the Sellers. Nothing contained herein shall prevent
the Purchaser from contesting in good faith any of the Assumed
Liabilities with any third party.
3.2. Limitations on Assumption. Any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, none of PCN, the Purchaser or any of
their respective Affiliates will or does assume any liability or

so assumed collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Retained
Liabilities"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Retained Liabilities shall include, without limitation, the
following:

Assets before the Closing Date;

breach by any one or more of the Sellers occurring on, before or

contained in any agreement which is (x) related to the Business
but is not an End-User Agreement, an Equipment Lease or
the Virginia Lease or (y) not related to the Business;
(e) liabilities or obligations arising from or related to the
failure of any one or more of the Sellers to obtain any
consent or provide any notice required for or in connection
with the transfer and assignment by any one or more of the
Sellers to the Purchaser of the Sellers' rights under or the
assumption by Purchaser of any of the obligations of Sellers

Sellers arising under any employment agreement between any
employee and any one or more of the Sellers, including, without
limitation, any severance payment payable by any Seller
thereunder (which obligation shall, notwithstanding Section
3.1(iii) above, constitute a Retained Liability whether or
not any such employee accepts employment with PCN or the
Purchaser at or following the Closing); or
(k) liabilities or obligations of any of the Sellers to any of
its employees or former employees, including, without
limitation, with respect to any accrued compensation, benefits,
severance, vacations and/or sick days, except as specifically
provided in Section 3.1(iii) above.
3.3. Right of Enforcement and Settlement. (a) From and after the
Closing Date, the Purchaser will have complete control over the payment,
settlement or other disposition of the Assumed Liabilities and
the right to commence, conduct and control all negotiations and
proceedings with respect thereto. The Sellers will
notify the Purchaser promptly of any claim made with respect to
any such Assumed Liabilities and will not, except with the
Purchaser's prior written consent, volun tarily make any
payment of, settle or offer to settle, or consent to any
compromise or admit liability with respect to any such Assumed
Liabilities. The Sellers will cooperate with the Purchaser in
any reasonable manner requested by the Purchaser in connection
with any negotiations or proceedings involving any
Assumed Liabilities. Without in any way limiting the Purchaser's
rights under this Agreement, in the event that the Sellers shall
pay, settle or offer to settle, or consent to any compromise or
admit liability with respect to any Assumed Liability in
violation of this Section 3.3, the Purchaser may, at its
option, return such liability to the Sellers.
(b) Without limiting anything contained in Section 8.1 hereof, in
the event that PCN or the Purchaser, on the one hand, or any of the
Sellers, on the other hand, become aware of any claim by any
End User made with respect to any Retained Liability, each
party shall promptly notify the other party. PCN and the
Purchaser shall cooperate with the Sellers in any reasonable
manner (in each case consistent with PCN's business practices
with respect to End-Users and subject to PCN's available
resources) requested by the Sellers in connection with any
negotiations or proceedings involving any such claim.
Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to (A) any such
claim relating to (x) a breach or alleged breach occurring
before the Closing of any obligation of any of the Sellers
under an End User Agreement or (y) liabilities or obligations
in respect of any services performed or rendered (or
services which any of the Sellers agreed (or allegedly
agreed) to perform or rendered but which it failed (or
allegedly failed) to perform or render in a timely fashion) by
any one or more of the Sellers or any express or implied
warranty with respect thereto (each an "Asserted End User
Claim") or (B) any obligation to any End-User constituting a
Retained Liability to the extent such liability relates to an
End-User Agreement but is not included in the Deferred Revenue
Account ("Retainer Services"). PCN or the Purchaser, as the
case may be, shall, on behalf of the Sellers, provide such
services (including providing additional or alternate hardware
or software) to the End User asserting the Asserted End User
Claim or the End-User with respect to which the Retained
Services relate, in each case, as may be reasonably requested
by the Sellers (in each case consistent with PCN's customary
business practices with respect to End Users and subject to
PCN's available resources) in order to remedy and settle such
Asserted End User Claim ("Requested Remedial Services");
provided, however, that, without the prior consent of PCN,
neither PCN nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to
provide any End User with an alternate practice management
product. For any Requested Remedial Services, the Sellers
shall pay to PCN an amount equal to (A) all actual costs incurred
by any one or more of PCN and its Affiliates in providing the
such services (including, without limitation, (x) the cost
to PCN of any equipment, supplies or other items
(including the costs of the shipping and handling thereof)
provided by PCN to the End User in connection therewith (y)
travel costs incurred by PCN in connection therewith and (z) to
the extent PCN utilizes third party contractors to perform any
of the services, the amounts payable by PCN to third party
contractors for providing such services) and (B) the amount
reasonably necessary to reimburse PCN for the amount of
time devoted by PCN employees to performing such services, which
amount referred to in this clause (B) shall be calculated
at a rate equal to 70% of PCN's then published hourly rates for
software support and service, hardware support and service,
training, programming and the like (the amounts referred to in
clauses (A) and (B) above are referred collectively
hereinafter as the "Remedial Costs").
(c) In the event that, in the exercise of its
reasonable business judgement, PCN determines that certain
services (including providing additional or alternate hardware
or software) should be provided to an End User in order to
remedy or settle an Asserted End User Claim ("Suggested Remedial
Services"), PCN shall provide CTI with written notice thereof.
In the event that, within ten (10) business days following
receipt of such notice CTI has not responded to PCN's
suggestions contained therein, CTI shall be deemed to have
consented to PCN providing the End User in question with the
Suggested Remedial Services for which the Sellers shall pay to
PCN any amount equal to the Remedial Costs therefor.
(d) Anything contained in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Purchaser shall assume and take full responsibility for
performing and satisfying any Asserted End User Claim, and
shall not look to the Sellers for reimbursement of any
Remedial Costs incurred by PCN or the Purchaser in connection
therewith, so long as such Asserted End User Claim (x) is
asserted by the applicable End User on or after January 1,
1998, and (y) does not relate, in whole or in part, to any
Asserted End User Claim asserted prior to such date.

7. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS
7.1. Further Assurances. After the Closing, at the request of PCN
or the Purchaser, the Sellers shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to PCN and/or the Purchaser, without further consideration,
all such further assignments, conveyances, endorsements,
deeds, powers of attorney, consents and other documents
(together with the instruments referred to in Section 1.3,
referred to herein collectively as the "Ancillary Documents")
and take such other action as PCN and/or the Purchaser may
reasonably request (a) to transfer to and vest in the Pur
chaser, and protect the Purchaser's right, title and
interest in, all of the Assets and the Sellers' rights with
respect to the Assumed Liabilities and (b) otherwise to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.2. Audited Financial Statements. The Sellers agree to use their best
efforts to cause to be delivered to PCN as soon as possible
following the Closing Date, a copy of the balance sheet of the
Business as of March 31, 1996, and the related statement of
operations for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996,
together with an audit report thereon by KPMG Peat Marwick LLC
(the "Auditors"), to the Sellers' independent auditors
(collectively, the "Audited Financial Statements").
7.3. Accounts Receivable Report; Deferred Revenue Report. (a) Promptly
following the Closing, the Sellers shall use their best
efforts to cause and permit the Auditors to, as promptly as
practicably following the Closing, conduct a review of the
Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date, including, without
limitation, those Accounts Receivable shown on the Accounts
Receivable Schedule, utilizing the procedures described on
Schedule 7.3(a)(i) hereto and such other procedures reasonably
acceptable to the PCN and CTI, in order to determine, among
other things, whether or not such Accounts Receivable arose
in the ordinary course of business, are properly recorded
in the Sellers' books and records in accordance with GAAP,
and, in the ordinary course of business, subject to an
applicable reserve, should be collectable ("Good
Receivables"). Following completion of such review, the
Auditors shall provide to the Sellers and to PCN (together
with the Deferred Revenue Report (as defined in Section 7.3(b)
below)) a report regarding the results of their review (the
"Accounts Receivable Report") and the Sellers shall provide
PCN with an opportunity to review and discuss with the
Auditors the results contained in such report. The conclusions
rendered by the Auditors in the Accounts Receivable Report shall
be final and binding on the parties.
(b) Promptly following the Closing, the Sellers shall use their best
efforts to cause and permit the Auditors to, as promptly as
practicable following the Closing, conduct a review of the
Deferred Revenue Account in order to verify the amount of
the Deferred Revenue Account on the Closing Date using the
procedures set forth on Schedule 7.3(b) hereto. Following
completion of such review, the Auditors shall provide to the
Sellers and to PCN (together with the Account Receivable
Report) a report of the results of such verification (the
"Deferred Revenue Report") and the Sellers shall provide PCN
with an opportunity to review and discuss with the Auditors
the results contained in such report.
7.4. Non-Competition; Non-Disclosure.
7.4.1. As a significant inducement to PCN and the Purchaser to enter
into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the
Sellers, jointly and severally, agree that for a period of five
(5) years from and after the Closing Date, none of the
Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates shall,
directly or indirectly (including, without limitation,
by selling, licensing or providing any product to any
third party), either for itself or any other person, firm,
partnership, corporation or other business venture: (a)
own, manage, operate, control, participate in, permit its name
to be used by, consult with, be employed by, render services for
or otherwise assist in any manner any entity to the extent
that it is engaged in, the Business or in the Practice
Management Software Business (as hereinafter defined); or (b)
sell, license or otherwise provide any product used in or
service provided by the CarePoint Business, or other
medical or clinical patient records products, as servicer
(collectively with CarePoint products or services, "Medical
Records Products") to any End-Users; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 7.4.1 will limit or
restrict any of the Sellers from: (i) providing statement
processing services ("Processing Services") to the End-Users
listed on Schedule 7.4(a) hereto (the "Processing End-Users");
(ii) providing maintenance and support services for CarePoint
products ("CarePoint Services") to the End-Users listed on
Schedule 7.4(b) hereto ("CarePoint End-Users"); (iii)
providing maintenance and support services for Lotus Notes
("Lotus Notes Services") to the End-Users listed on Schedule
7.4(c) hereto (the "Lotus Notes End-Users"); and (v) entering
into any reseller or distribution arrangement or any
partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement with any
third party so long as such arrangement does not relate to
privileges or services which are competitive with the Business or
the Practice Management Business. Nothing contained in
this Section 7.4 shall prohibit any of the Sellers or their
respective Affiliates from being a passive owner of not more than
5% of the equity or debt securities of any such firm,
partnership, corporation or other venture, so long as such
Sellers or Affiliates, as the case may be, have no active
participation in the business of such entity.
As used in this Section 7.4, "Practice Management Software Business"
means: (i) the business of providing Medical Providers,
directly or through vendors, MSO's or service bureaus, with
other management systems designed to, among other things,
computerize patient registration and to generate patient billing,
patient scheduling, insurance claims, managed care risk
management assessments, billing and other financial and clinical
reports; (ii) the business of providing Medical Providers with
claims clearing, billing, statement processing and similar
services; and (iii) the Commercial Business.
7.4.2. As a further inducement to the Purchaser to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Sellers,
jointly and severally, agree that, for a period of two (2)
years from and after the Closing Date, none of the Sellers nor
any of their respective Affiliates shall, directly or
indirectly, (including, without limitation, by selling,
licensing or providing any product to any third party)
either for itself or any other person, firm, partnership,
corporation or other business venture, sell, license or
otherwise provide any Medical Records product to any current
end-user or other customer of PCN or any of its Affiliates
(including without limitation, for purposes of this Section
7.4.2, Wismer-Martin, Inc.), other than in connection with
providing Processing Services to the Processing End-Users,
providing CarePoint Services to CarePoint End-Users or providing
Lotus Notes Services to Lotus Notes End-Users. Promptly
following the Closing, PCN shall provide to CTI, on behalf of all
of the Sellers, a list of all practice management software
products currently sold, licensed and/or supported by PCN
or any of its Affiliates, which are published by any one or more
of PCN and its Affiliates or otherwise sold, licensed or
supplied by one or more of PCN, its Affiliates and its
independent resellers on an exclusive basis (the "Designated
PCN Products"). Upon contacting any potential customer or end-
user with respect to providing any Medical Records product
(which contact shall not constitute a breach of this
Section 7.4.2) the Sellers shall determine which practice
management software product is used by that potential customer
or end-user, and in the event that such product is a
Designated PCN Product, the date on which such potential customer
or end-user acquired such product. In the event that the
practice management product so used is a Designated PCN Product
acquired by the potential end-user or customer on or prior to
the Closing Date the applicable Seller shall cease all efforts
to sell, license or otherwise provide any Medical Records
products to such potential customer or end-user.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions contained in
this Section 7.4.2 shall not apply to the sale, licensing or
provision of any Medical Records product by the Sellers to any
managed care organization merely because a physician associated
with such managed care organization uses a Designated
PCN Product so long as such managed care organization (x) is
not itself the user of a Designated PCN Product and (y)
does not exclusively require its associated physicians to use or,
upon the purchase of a new practice management system,
purchase or license Designated PCN Products.
The provisions of Section 7.4.1(b) and Section 7.4.2, as they relate to the
CarePoint product, shall apply to any person or entity which
acquires all or any portion of the CarePoint Business from the
Sellers.
7.4.3. The Sellers, jointly and severally, agree that for a period
of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, none of the
Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates will,
directly or indirectly (including, without limitation,
by selling, licensing or providing any product to any
third party), individually or on behalf of other persons,
endeavor to solicit the business or sell, license or provide any
products or services to any of the End-Users, other than
providing Processing Services to Processing End-Users, CarePoint
Services to CarePoint End-Users or Lotus Notes Services to Lotus
Notes End-Users; provided, however, that the restrictions
contained in this Section 7.4.3 shall not apply to (x) general
advertisements not specifically directed to End-Users or to the
users of the practice management software products used by them
or (y) the licensing or sale of software products done over the
Internet which are not directed to the End-Users or to any
particular class of users of which the End-Users constitute a
significant part.
7.4.4. The Sellers, jointly and severally, agree that all information
pertaining to the Business and the Assets and to the prior,
current or contemplated operation or use thereof
(excluding (i) publicly available information (in
substantially the form in which it is publicly available) unless
such information is publicly available by reason of
unauthorized disclosure and (ii) information of a general nature
not pertaining exclusively to the Business or the Assets which
is generally available) are valuable and confidential assets
of the Business. Such information shall include,
without limitation, information relating to the Intellectual
Property, trade secrets, customer lists, vendor lists,
bidding procedures, financing techniques and services and
financial information concerning the Business and its customers.
The Sellers agree that, from and after the Closing Date, neither
the Sellers, any Affiliate of the Sellers or any current or
officer, director, of any of them, will disclose or use, and
the Sellers shall use their best efforts to prevent any employee,
agent, former officer or director from disclosing, any
such information for other than the Purchaser's business.
7.4.5. The parties hereto acknowledge that it is impossible to
measure in money the damages that will accrue to PCN and/or the
Purchaser in the event that any of the Sellers or their
Affiliates breach any of the covenants in Section 7.4.1,
7.4.2, 7.4.3 or 7.4.4 and, if PCN or the Purchaser shall
institute any action or proceeding to enforce those
covenants, the Sellers hereby waive and agree not to assert
the claim or defense that PCN or the Purchaser has an adequate
remedy at law or for damages.
The foregoing shall not prejudice PCN's right to seek
money damages from any one or more of the Sellers with respect
to any such breach.
7.4.6. If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 7.4, a court
shall hold that the duration, scope or area restriction or any other
provision hereof is unreasonable under circumstances now or then
existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration,
scope or area reasonable under the circumstances shall be
substituted for the stated duration, scope or area.
7.4.7 PCN and the Purchaser hereby grant to CTI a royalty free,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the "Mends" software product
solely for the purpose of providing interfaces between the
CarePoint Product and the Mends product to CarePoint End-Users
and to provide maintenance and support to the CarePoint End-
Users in connection therewith. The use by CTI of the license
granted by PCN is this Section 7.4.7 in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.4.7 shall not constitute a breach by
CTI of the provisions of this Section 7.4.
7.5. Enforcement of Rights. Without in any way limiting anything
contained in Section 7.4, the Sellers agree to enforce, and to take all
actions reasonably necessary to enforce (including, without
limitation, instituting legal proceedings against any
breaching party), all provisions of any Confidentiality Agreement
between any one or more of the Sellers and any of their
current, former or future employees, agents or consultants
with respect to any Confidential Information, to the fullest
extent available under applicable law. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that PCN or the Purchaser reasonably
and in good faith believes that any current, former or future
employee, agent or consultant of any one or more of the Sellers
have breached any provision of any Confidentiality Agreement
with respect to any Confidential Information, PCN or the
Purchaser may so notify CTI and request that the Sellers take
all actions reasonably available to the Sellers to enforce the
Sellers' rights with respect to such breach; provided, however,
that in the event that, within thirty (30) days following
receipt by CTI of such notice, such breach has not been
remedied and the Sellers have not instituted legal proceedings
against the breaching party with respect to such breach, the
Sellers shall be deemed to have assigned to PCN and the
Purchaser all of the Sellers' rights under any Confidentiality
Agreement as such agreement relates to Confidential
Information and PCN and/or the Purchaser may, in the
Purchaser's name, institute and prosecute any and all claims
under such Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any
such breach, to the fullest extent available under
applicable law, which action by PCN and/or the Purchaser shall
in no way be deemed to limit, restrict or prejudice any right
PCN and/or the Purchaser may have against the Sellers
pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof. In the event PCN and/or the
Purchaser prevails in any lawsuit brought by PCN and/or
the Purchaser in connection with any such breach, the Sellers
shall reimburse PCN and/or the Purchaser for all expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Purchaser in
connection with such lawsuit.
7.6. Employee Matters. (a) The Sellers agree that following the
Closing, PCN or the Purchaser may offer employment to the employees
listed on Schedule 5.18(a) hereto (the "Designated
Employees").
(b) From and after the Closing, to the extent reasonably requested by
PCN or the Purchaser, the Sellers shall use their best efforts to assist
PCN and/or the Purchaser in securing the employment any one
or more Designated Employees identified by PCN in its sole
discretion.
(c) PCN and the Purchaser agree that, in the event that, within 90 days
following the Closing Date, either PCN or the Purchaser hire
any Designated Employee who (x) did not receive or did not
accept an offer of employment from PCN or the Purchaser
immediately following the Closing and (y) within such 90
day period, was severed by the Sellers, PCN and the Purchaser
shall, with respect to each such employee, pay to CTI an amount
equal to the actual, documented amount paid by any one or more
of the Sellers to such employee as severance and with respect to
accrued and unused vacation and sick-days at the time such
employee's employment with Sellers was terminated
(collectively, a "CTI Severance Payment"), provided, however,
that: (i) the amount payable by PCN and the Purchaser under this
Section 7.6(c) with respect to any Designated Employee shall
not exceed the amount of severance and accrued vacation
and sick days shown with respect to such Designated Employee on
Schedule 5.18(a); and (ii) neither PCN nor the Purchaser
shall have any obligation under this Section 7.6(c) with respect
to (x) any amount paid by any Seller to any Designated
Employee prior to the end of the fifth business day following the
Closing Date or (y) arising under, or required by, any
employment agreement between any Seller and any Designated
Employee.
7.7. Software/Hardware Purchases. (a) The Sellers hereby, jointly and
severally, agree to, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing
Date (the "Purchase Period"), purchase exclusively from PCN or
any one or more Affiliates of PCN designated by PCN, all
hardware and software products ("IBM Products") offered for
general distribution by International Business Machines
Corp. ("IBM") needed by any one or more of the Sellers (or any
entity acquired by any of the Sellers following the Closing,
except to the extent any such acquired entity had a binding
purchase agreement with any party prior to such acquisition)
in connection with any such entities' business operations
during the Purchase Period.
(b) Without PCN's prior written consent, none of the Sellers shall
purchase any IBM Products from PCN or its Affiliates in
accordance with Section 7.7(a) above for resale to any third
party reseller or vendor of computer hardware or software
products (other than resellers of CTI's software products).
(c) With respect to all IBM Products purchased by any Seller in
accordance with Section 7.7(a) above as well as other products
purchased by the Sellers from PCN during the Purchase Period,
PCN or its designee shall charge the Seller an amount equal to
92% of PCN's then standard reseller or distributor price
(as published by PCN in its then current price book), for such
products. Unless otherwise agreed to by PCN and CTI, all
payments by the Sellers to PCN or its designee for IBM Products
purchased by any Seller from PCN or its designee in accordance
with this Section 7.7 shall be made within 60 days following
receipt by such Seller of an invoice thereof.
(d) PCN agrees that, during the Purchase Period: (A) PCN or its designee
will provide to the Sellers the Sellers' requirements regarding
IBM Products provided that: (x) in accordance with the
procedures described on Schedule 7.7(d) hereto, the
Sellers provide the Purchaser a 90 day rolling forecast of the
Sellers' IBM Product needs; and (y) such IBM Product is offered
for sale by IBM to PCN; (B) the Purchaser shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Sellers ordering such IBM Products, all
IBM Products ordered by such Sellers in accordance with
clause (A) above within five (5) business days of IBM's then
current lead time for the applicable IBM Products; (C) PCN
shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause CTI
to be permitted to participate in product briefings regarding
the IBM Products (or, in the event CTI is not permitted to
participate in such briefings, provide CTI with a quarterly
briefing regarding the IBM Product line); and (D) PCN shall
use its reasonable commercial efforts to provide CTI with (x)
all information available for general distribution regarding
the IBM Product line and (y) electronic configuration
software as provided to PCN by IBM.
(e) The Sellers agree to purchase from PCN or its designees not less
than $2.0 million (the "Annual Purchase Obligations) of
hardware and software products during each twelve month period
commencing on July 1 of each calendar year during the
Purchase Period (each an "Annual Purchase Period"), up to an
aggregate of $10 million (the "Aggregate Purchase
Obligation"). Any purchases by the Sellers which exceed $2.0
million during any Annual Purchase Period will be credited
to the Sellers' Annual Purchaser Obligation for the next Annual
Purchase Period's Purchase Obligation. In connection with
each Annual Purchase Obligation, if, by the last day (June 30) of
such Annual Purchase Period, the Sellers have not purchased all
such $2.0 million of such hardware and software products
from PCN or its designees, on the last day (June 30) of such
Annual Purchase Period, the Sellers shall pay to PCN or its
designee the remaining balance of such purchase order, which
amount shall be credited as an advance against future purchases
(but which amount shall not reduce next year's Annual
Purchase Obligations). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that PCN or its designee is unable to provide
the Sellers with the requested IBM Products in accordance with
Section 7.7(a) above, so long as such product is listed as being
available from IBM on IBM's then current products offering
schedule, the Sellers may purchase such IBM Products from
a third party and reduce its Aggregate Purchase Obligation
under this paragraph (e) by the actual amount paid by the
Sellers for such IBM Product. In addition, in the event that
neither PCN or, its designee nor any third party can provide the
Sellers with the requested IBM Product and such product is
listed as being available from IBM on IBM's then current
product offering schedule, the Sellers may request that PCN or
its designees provide to the Sellers an equivalent non-IBM
product (an "Alternate Product") on the same terms as provided on
this Section 7.7, and such purchase shall be credited
against the Sellers' Aggregate Purchase Obligation. In the
event that PCN and its designee are unable to provide the
Sellers with the Alternate Product in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence, the Sellers may purchase the
Alternate Product from a third party and reduce its Aggregate
Purchase Obligation under this paragraph (e) by the actual
amount paid by the Sellers for such Alternate Product.
(f) The parties hereto agree that, in the event that CTI sells all or
substantially all of its assets, the Sellers may, at their
option: (i) with the PCN's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign
its obligations under paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) above to
the purchaser thereof, provided that, such purchaser agrees, in
writing for PCN's benefit, to assume such obligations; or (ii)
terminate such obligations by paying to PCN an amount equal to
20% of the Sellers' remaining Aggregate Purchase Obligation.
7.8. Use of Name. The Sellers hereby grant to the Purchaser a
non-exclusive license to use the name "CTI", or "CUSA Technologies, Inc."
or any variation thereof, for a period of six (6) months
following the Closing Date, to the extent that any such name
appears on any written or printed document or instruments
or as a part of any software used in or included as part of
the Assets, for the limited purpose of using the Business'
existing supply of such document, instrument or
software; provided that the Purchaser may not alter, modify
or revise any such document, instrument or software in any
way other than to the extent necessary to remove Sellers'
name therefrom.
7.9. Termination of Reseller Agreements. The Sellers, PCN and the
Purchaser agree that, effective on the Closing Date, all reseller,
business partner, distribution and similar agreements between
CTI and any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Versyss, on the
other hand, shall be terminated, null and void and of no further
force and effect, including, without limitation, all
obligations of the parties, all payment obligations of each
party to the other, whether or not currently outstanding.
7.10. Service Arrangements.
7.10.1. Facilities. Set forth on Schedule 7.10(a) is a list of
each facility utilized by the Sellers in connection with the
operation of the Business in which PCN wishes to locate
employees of the Business following the Closing (each a
"Facility" and, together, the "Facilities"). The Sellers
agree that, with respect to each Facility, during the period
commencing on the date hereof and, with respect to that
Facility, ending on the first to occur of (x) the date on which
the Purchaser moves all of its employees out of the Facility
(each a "Facility Termination Date") and (y) the date
indicated as the "End Date" opposite the name of the
Facility on Schedule 7.10(a) (with respect to each Facility,
a "Transition Period"), the Sellers shall, without PCN's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, maintain, and during such period
shall not modify or alter, the Facility or any of the computer
hardware and other equipment and telephone lines, numbers and
service (including toll free telephone lines, numbers and
service) used or usable in the Business (and not included in as
part of the Equipment or Inventory), in each case,
whether owned or leased by the Sellers (collectively, "Facility
Equipment"), in substantially the same manner and condition as
each such Facility and the Facility Equipment located
therein was maintained by the Sellers in the ordinary course
of business prior to the Closing. During the Transition
Period for a Facility, the Sellers shall permit the
Purchaser to utilize the applicable Facility and the
Facility Equipment located therein in connection with the
Purchaser's operation of the Business during such period to
the same extent the Sellers utilized such Facility and the
Facility Equipment located therein, and in each case
consistent with the Sellers' utilization of the Facility and
the Facility Equipment Located therein, in connection with the
Sellers' operation of the Business prior to the Closing.
In consideration for providing the Purchaser with the use of
the Facilities, during the applicable Transition Period
with respect to each Facility and the Facility Equipment
located therein, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers the
facilities fees calculated in accordance with the schedule of
fees for that Facility set forth on Schedule 7.10(a) hereto, or a
proportionate amount thereof. Anything contained in this
Section 7.10(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Purchaser
shall provide the Sellers with at least thirty (30) days notice
prior to any Facility Termination Date.
7.10.2. Other Costs. The Sellers shall invoice the Purchaser monthly
for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers
on behalf of PCN or the Purchaser in connection with the
Purchaser's operation of the Business at a Facility during
the Transition Period (such as telephone bills, copying charges
and the like (but not including electric bills and the like
which are covered by the Facility Fee)) to the extent
such costs and expenses are not covered by the fee provided for
in Section 7.10.1 hereto, which invoices shall be accompanied by
appropriate back-up documentation with respect to
such costs and expenses. The Purchaser shall pay the Sellers
for such invoiced amounts by wire transfer within ten (10)
business days following the Purchaser's receipt of such
invoice.
7.10.3. Other Services. In addition to the use of the Facilities, for a
period of 90 days following the Closing Date, at no additional
charge to PCN or the Purchaser, the Sellers shall provide the
Purchaser and PCN with the services of the Sellers
management information systems and accounting systems to the
extent reasonably required by PCN and the Purchaser in order
to permit them to collect Purchaser Receivables and
maintain continuity of service for the End Users. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Sellers shall provide the
Purchaser with a tape for the electronic conversion of data
from the Sellers' systems to PCN's.
7.11. DecisionOne. The Sellers agree, at the request of PCN the
Purchaser, to assist PCN or the Purchaser in negotiating or modifying the
hardware support arrangement with DecisionOne.
7.12. Torrance Lease. The Sellers and Purchaser agree to, following the
Closing, amend the terms of the sublease between Versyss Data Systems,
Inc. ("VDS") and Versyss regarding the premises located
in Torrance, California in order to (x) reduce by half the total
space sublet by VDS thereunder, (y) reduce by half the rent
payable by VDS thereunder and (z) permit VDS to sublet the
remaining portion of such space.
7.13. Software Development Agreement.
(a) The Software Development Agreement dated November 1, 1995, between
CTI and Versyss (the "Software Development Agreement") is
hereby terminated and all obligations of the parties
thereunder (including, without limitation, all payment
obligations of each party to the other, whether or not currently
outstanding) are terminated and shall be null and void.
(b) With respect to the software contemplated by the Software
Development Agreement ("XRTS"), CTI shall, at CTI's sole cost
and expense: (x) by July 30, 1996, complete the tasks
referred to on Schedule 7.13(b) hereto to the reasonable
satisfaction of PCN; and (y) thereafter provide repairs for
all priority 1 defects (e.g. defects which prevent a customer
from continuing their daily operation such as, by way of
example, being unable to boot or back-up the system as data
corruption) through the Beta test period not to exceed 45
days from the date of technology handoff.
(c) XRTS will be owned jointly by CTI and Versyss; provided, however, that
(x) None of PCN, the Purchaser, Versyss, their Affiliates and
their respective successors and assigns will use XRTS in the
Retained Businesses, (y) none of the Sellers, their Affiliates or
their respective successors and assigns will use XRTS in the
Business or the Practice Management Business and (z) the
parties will only license, sell or otherwise provide XRTS to
third parties who agree to be bound by the restrictions
contained in clauses (x) or (y), as applicable.
(d) Upon completion of the tasks referred to in Section 7.13(b) above,
each of Versyss or CTI will receive a copy of the source-
code for the XRTS.
(e) The Sellers, jointly and severally, hereby covenant and agree to
indemnify and hold harmless PCN, Versyss and the Purchaser, their
Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns from,
against and in respect of any and all costs, losses, claims,
liabilities, fines, penalties, damages and expenses (including
court costs and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
resulting from or arising out of any infringement resulting from
the use of XRTS by any Seller, or their respective Affiliates
or customer, in the Retained Businesses.
(f) PCN, Versyss and the Purchaser, jointly and severally, hereby
covenant and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers,
their Affiliates and their respective successors and

(b) Versyss agrees to use its best effort to cause the crossclaim (the

Jones, Thomas Jordan contained in the Lawsuit to be dismissed
with prejudice.
(c) Except for the obligation of CTI and ASI set forth in Section 7.4(d)

under the Virginia Lease (but shall not assume any liability
under or relating to the Virginia Lease, including,
without limitation, any liability arising as a result of
the failure of the Sellers to obtain the Lessor's Consent).
As used herein, the "Negotiation Period" shall mean the period

of: (i) the date on which the Lessor's Consent is obtained;
and (ii) the 180th day following the Closing Date.

agreements held by Automated Solutions of California ("ASC")

or transfer or other defects of any nature.
(b) Purchaser agrees to service and treat such end-user agreements, for
purposes of the Agreement, as if such agreements are End- User
Agreements.
(c) Sellers agree, jointly and severally to indemnify PCN, the Purchaser,
their Affiliates and their respective directors and
officers, and each of their successors and assigns and hold
them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all costs,
losses, claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, damages and
expenses arising in connection with such end-user agreements or

8. INDEMNIFICATION
8.1. Indemnification of the Purchaser. The Sellers hereby, jointly and
severally, covenant and agree with PCN and the Purchaser that the Sellers
shall, jointly and severally, indemnify PCN, the Purchaser,
their Affiliates and their respective directors and
officers, and each of their successors and assigns
(individually a "Purchaser Indemnified Party") and hold
them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all costs,
losses, claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, damages and
expenses (including court costs and reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) (collectively "Losses")
resulting from or arising out of:
(a) all liabilities, debts, obligations
and commitments of any nature, whether accrued, absolute,
contingent or otherwise, (whether known or unknown to the
Sellers, PCN or the Purchaser), which are Retained Liabilities
and any claim or demand by a third party (whether or not
successful) to cause or require a Purchaser Indemnified Party to
pay or discharge any debt, obligation, liability or
commitment referred to in this clause (a);
(b) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by any one or more of the Sellers in this
Agreement or any Ancillary Document; or
(c) any action, suit, proceeding, compromise, settlement,
assessment or judgment arising out of or incident to any of the
matters indemnified against in this Section 8.1. If, by reason
of the claim of any third party relating to any of the matters
subject to such indemnification, a lien, attachment, garnishment
or execution is placed upon any of the properties or assets of
any Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Section 8.1, the
Sellers shall also furnish an indemnity bond satisfactory to
PCN, to obtain the prompt release of such lien,
attachment, garnishment or execution.
8.2. Indemnification of the Sellers by PCN and the
Purchaser. PCN and the Purchaser hereby, jointly and
severally, covenant and agree with the Sellers that the
Purchaser shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the
Sellers, their Affiliates and their respective directors and
officers, and each of their successors and assigns
(individually a "Seller Indemnified Party") and hold
them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all Losses
resulting from or arising out of:
(a) The Assumed Liabilities, and any claim or demand by a third party
(whether or not successful) to cause or require a Seller
Indemnified Party to pay or discharge any debt, obligation,
liability or commitment referred to in this clause (a);
(b) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by PCN and/or the Purchaser in this Agreement
or any Ancillary Document; or
(c) any action, suit, proceeding, compromise, settlement, assessment or
judgment arising out of or incident to any of the matters indemnified
against in this Section 8.2. If, by reason of the claim of any third party
relating to any of the matters subject to such indemnification,
a lien, attachment, garnishment or execution is placed upon any
of the properties or assets of any the Seller Indemnified Party
under this Section 8.2, PCN shall also furnish an indemnity
bond satisfactory to the Sellers to obtain the prompt release of
such lien, attachment, garnishment or execution.
8.3. Limitations on Indemnity
(a) Subject to 8.3(b) hereof, on and after the Closing: (i) the
Sellers shall be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to
indemnification from the Sellers, for the matters covered
by Sections 8.1(b) hereof and Section 8.1(c) hereof (to the
extent it applies to Section 8.1(b)); and (ii) PCN and the
Purchaser shall only be liable to the Seller Indemnified
Parties, and the Seller Indemnified Parties shall only
be entitled to indemnification from the Purchaser, for the
matters covered by Section 8.2(b) hereof and Section 8.2(c)
hereof (to the extent it applies to Section 8.2(b)),
respectively, to the extent, and only to the extent, the
aggregate amount of Losses suffer by Purchaser Indemnified
Parties or suffered by Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case
may be (without regard to the limitation on liability set
forth in this Section 8.3(a)), exceeds $100,000 (the "Minimum
Indemnity Amount"), in which event each such Indemnified
Party (as hereinafter defined) shall thereafter be entitled,
from time to time, to seek indemnification in respect to
all Losses in respect of which it is entitled to be indemnified
pursuant to such provisions of Section 8.1 and 8.2, as the case
may be, in excess of the Minimum Indemnity Amount. The foregoing
limitations shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party
to make a claim for indemnification, and shall not
alter or negate the procedures with respect to the timely
notice and disposition of such claim provided for in Section
8.4 hereof, in order to enable the Indemnified Party to obtain
credit against the $100,000 limitation contained in the
preceding sentence hereof for indemnification which would
otherwise be due but for such limitation.
(b) Anything contained in this Section 8.3 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the limitation on indemnity contained in Section 8.3(a)
shall not apply to any Loss: (i) incurred by any Purchaser
Indemnified Party as a result of a breach by the Sellers of the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2,
5.10, 5.11, 5.18 (to the extent it relates to severance
obligations and accrued vacation and sick days) or 5.21 hereto;
(ii) incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of
a breach by any of the Sellers of the covenants or agreements
of any such Seller contained in this Agreement or in any
Ancillary Document; (iii) incurred by any Seller
Indemnified Party as a result of a breach by PCN or the Purchaser
of any of the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 6.1 or 6.2, hereto; or (iv) incurred by any Seller
Indemnified Party as a result of a breach by PCN or the Purchaser
of any of the covenants or agreements of PCN or the
Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary
Document;
(c) On and after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not be liable to
the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification from
the Sellers, under Section 8.1(b) hereof and
Section 8.1(c) (to the extent it applies to Section 8.1(b)) for
any Loss arising from a breach by any one or more of the
Sellers of the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 5.8 and 5.9 hereof to the extent that the Loss so
incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect
thereto was accounted for under Section 2.2 above.
8.4. Right to Defend, Etc. If the facts giving rise to any such
indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 shall involve any actual claim or
demand by any third party against a Purchaser Indemnified
Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be (an
"Indemnified Party") the party required to indemnify such
Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2, as the case
may be (the "Indemnifying Party") shall be entitled to
notice of and entitled (without prejudice to the right of any
Indemnified Party to participate at its expense through counsel
of its own choosing) to defend or prosecute such claim at its
expense and through counsel of its own choosing if it gives
written notice of its intention to do so no later than the 15th
day following receipt of such notice; provided, however, that
if the defendants in any action shall include both a
Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that
the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party has a
conflict of interest because of the availability of different or
additional defenses to the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel
to participate in the defense of such action on its behalf, at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The failure so to notify
an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it of any liability
which it may have to any Indemnified Party. The
Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in the defense
of such claim and shall make available to the Indemnifying
Party pertinent information under its control relating
thereto, but shall be entitled to be reimbursed, as provided in
this Article 8, for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
payable to third parties incurred by it in connection
therewith. If any Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any
such claims, the Indemnifying Party will hold the Indemnified
Party harmless from and against any and all damages arising out
of any settlement approved by such Indemnifying Party or any
judgment in connection with such claim or litigation. Payment by
an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party shall be made
within 10 days after demand, unless there is a claim or
demand by a third party in which event payment shall be made
within 10 days after final judgment, settlement or comprise, as
the case may be.
8.5. Tax Effect. The amount of any indemnification
due to an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2,
as the case may be, shall be calculated after taking into
account the amount of all insurance, cash or other direct
financial benefits payable to such Indemnified Party
(including any such benefits payable by third parties) and
after taking into account the United States federal, state and
local and foreign national, provincial and local tax
benefits or detriments to the Indemnified Party, as the case
may be, calculated assuming the Indemnified Party were a
taxpayer subject to tax at the highest marginal rate in effect
when the payment is made, of the payments made in respect of such
loss, claim, demand, cost or expense giving rise to the
indemnification and the payments, including
indemnification payments made in respect thereto.
9. GENERAL
9.1. Expenses, Etc. The parties hereto shall pay their own respective taxes,
expenses, costs and fees, including, without limitation,
the fees and expenses of their respective counsel and ac
countants and other experts.
9.2. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the
representations and warranties, and the indemnities in connection therewith

Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and
warranties contained in Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.11, 5.15(b)
and 5.21 shall survive indefinitely. Any claim made in
reasonable detail and specificity by written notice to
an Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of the survival
period of any representation and warranty shall survive the
expiration of such survival period.
9.3. Waivers. Any breach of any obligation, covenant, agreement or
condition contained herein shall be deemed waived by the non-breaching
party only by a writing, setting forth with particularity the
breach being waived and the scope of the waiver, but such
waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with
respect to, any subsequent or breach. No waiver shall be
implied from any conduct or action of the non-breaching
party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Ancillary
Document, and no course of dealing by any party, shall
operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any Ancillary Document, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
9.4. Definition of Knowledge. As used in this Agreement, the term
"knowledge" means knowledge which supervisory, managerial, and
executive employees have or should have after making due
inquiry and exercising due diligence with respect thereto.
9.5. Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their

provided that such party assumes all of the seller's obligations
hereunder. Except as otherwise set forth herein, nothing in
