STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 30, 2007, between Quovadx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), CareScience, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Company”), and Premier, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) (Seller, Company and Purchaser, individually hereinafter referred to as “Party” and collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Parties”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Seller presently owns all of the capital stock of Company;

     WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell all of the shares of the common stock of Company, no par value (the “Common Stock”), owned by it (collectively, the “Shares”), and Purchaser desires to purchase such Shares, all as more specifically provided herein so that Purchaser will become the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Company on a fully diluted basis; and

     WHEREAS, certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Article XI;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES; CONSIDERATION

     1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares.

     On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser all of the Shares owned by Seller to Purchaser, free and clear of all Encumbrances. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the certificates representing the Shares owned by Seller, duly endorsed (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers) for transfer to Purchaser.

     1.2 Consideration.

     The aggregate consideration for the Shares shall be an amount in cash equal to Thirty-Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($34,000,000) subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.4 (the “Purchase Price”).

     1.3 Payment of Purchase Price and Other Amounts.

     On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall:

          (a) pay to Seller by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller an amount of One Million Twenty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Fifteen and No/100 Dollars ($1,025,715), which amount shall be used by Seller to pay certain Employee Liabilities owing

1

under the Seller’s Executive Management Transaction Bonus Plan and the Employment Agreement between the Seller and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; and

          (b) pay the Purchase Price to Seller, which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

     1.4 Purchase Price Adjustment.

          (a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an itemized statement of estimated Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”) as of the end of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”). If Purchaser objects to Seller’s computation of Estimated Closing Working Capital and Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve such objections, the Estimated Closing Working Capital shall be deemed equal to the average of Seller’s and Purchaser’s good faith determination thereof. If the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds negative One Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (-$1,200,000) (the “Minimum Working Capital”), then the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.3 shall be increased by the amount of any amount in excess of the Minimum Working Capital. For example, if the Estimated Closing Working Capital is negative One Million and No/100 Dollars (-$1,000,000), then the Purchase Price will be increased by Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000). If the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than the Minimum Working Capital, the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.3 shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall. For example, if the Estimated Closing Working Capital is negative One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (-$1,500,000), then the Purchase Price will be decreased by Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000). “Net Working Capital” means the consolidated current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents and intercompany receivables) of Company, reduced by the consolidated current liabilities (excluding the Assumed Employee Liabilities and intercompany payables) of Company, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP, on a basis consistent with the past practice after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments required by the principles attached hereto as Exhibit B.

          (b) As promptly as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller the Closing Statement and a certificate based on such Closing Statement setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital. The closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) shall present the Closing Working Capital.

          (c) If Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(b), Seller may, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice to Purchaser stating that Seller disagrees with such calculation and specifying in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees and the basis therefor. Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(b).

          (d) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c), Purchaser and Seller shall, during the fifteen (15) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Working Capital. If during such period, Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser (the “Independent Accountant”) to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Working Capital (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Independent Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees that it shall not engage, or agree to engage the Independent Accountant to perform any services other than as the Independent Accountant pursuant hereto until the Closing Statement and Final Working Capital have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4. Each Party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant and promptly provide all documents and information requested by the Independent Accountant. In making such calculation, the Independent Accountant (i) shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital as to which Seller has disagreed in its notice of disagreement duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c) and (ii) shall not assign a value to such item or amount greater than the greatest value for such item or amount asserted by either Seller or Purchaser or less than the smallest value for such item or amount asserted by either Seller or Purchaser. The Independent Accountant shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Independent Accountant), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller, shall be deemed a final arbitration award that is binding on Purchaser and Seller, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall seek further recourse to courts or other tribunals with respect to such report, other than to enforce such report. Judgment may be entered to enforce such report in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Independent Accountant will determine the allocation between Purchaser and Seller of the cost of its review and report based on the inverse of the percentage its determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) and the Independent Accountant awards Six Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($600.00) in favor of Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Purchaser and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by Seller.

          (e) Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 1.4, including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

          (f) If Final Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in the manner as provided in Section 1.4(g), the amount of such excess and, if Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds Final Working Capital, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, the amount of such excess in the manner provided in Section 1.4(g). For example, if the Estimated Closing Working Capital is negative One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (-$1,500,000) and Final Working Capital is negative One Million Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (-

$1,300,000), then Purchaser shall pay Seller Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000). As another example, if Estimated Closing Working Capital is negative One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (-$1,500,000) and Final Working Capital is negative One Million Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (-$1,700,000), then Seller shall pay Purchaser Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000). “Final Working Capital” means Closing Working Capital (i) as shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(b) if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c) or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(d) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Independent Accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(d); provided, however, that in no event shall Final Working Capital be more than Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c) or less than Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(b).

          (g) Any payment pursuant to Section 1.4(f) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within five (5) Business Days after Final Working Capital has been determined by wire transfer by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of such other party as may be designated in writing by such other party.

27

otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchaser or Seller lists securities, provided that, to the extent required by applicable Law, the Party intending to make such release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law to consult with the other party with respect to the timing and content thereof.

          (b) Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall not be disclosed or otherwise made available to the public and that copies of this Agreement shall not be publicly filed or otherwise made available to the public, except where such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law and only to the extent required by such Law.

     6.8 Notice of Developments.

     Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any development or other information occurring after the date hereof, whether or not in the Ordinary Course of Business, which renders any representation, warranty or statement contained in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto inaccurate or incomplete at any time prior to the Closing. The written notice pursuant to this

Section 6.8 shall be deemed to have amended the Schedules, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the development or information, except for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that would constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

     6.9 No Solicitation of Transactions.

          (a) Subject to Sections 6.9(b) and 6.9(c), Seller shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit, directly or indirectly, Company or any officer, trustee, director, employee, investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, broker, finder or other agent, representative or Affiliate of Seller to, initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information or assistance) any inquiries or the making of any proposal or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, enter into discussions or negotiate with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain an Acquisition Proposal or release any Person from any standstill agreement or similar obligation to Seller other than the automatic termination of standstill obligations pursuant to the terms of agreements as in effect as of the date hereof, by virtue of the execution and announcement of this Agreement or otherwise. Seller shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause its officers, trustees, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, brokers, finders and any other agents, representatives or affiliates to immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications with any party or parties with respect to any Acquisition Proposal that is active or pending as of the date hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.9 shall preclude Seller or its officers, trustees, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, brokers, finders and other agents, representatives or affiliates from complying with the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 6.9. Seller shall be responsible for any failure on the part of Company or its officers, trustees, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, brokers, finders and any other agents, representatives or affiliates to comply with this Section 6.9.

          (b) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser (but in no event less than twenty-four hours following Seller’s initial receipt of any Acquisition Proposal) of the relevant details relating to an Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the parties and all material terms thereof) which any of Seller may receive after the date hereof, and shall keep Purchaser informed on a prompt basis as to the status of and any material developments regarding any such proposal.

          (c) Notwithstanding Sections 6.9(a) and 6.9(b) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following the receipt by Seller of an Acquisition Proposal (that was not solicited, encouraged or facilitated in violation of Sections 6.9(a) and 6.9(b)), the Board may (directly or through advisors or representatives):

               (i) contact such Person and its advisors solely for the purpose of clarifying the proposal and any material terms thereof and the conditions to and likelihood of consummation, so as to determine whether the proposal for an Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal; and

               (ii) if the Board determines in good faith following consultation with Seller’s legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, the Board may:

                    (A) furnish non-public information with respect to Company to the Person who made such proposal (provided that Seller (x) has previously or concurrently furnished such information to Purchaser and (y) shall furnish such information pursuant to a confidentiality agreement which is at least as favorable to Seller as the Confidentiality Agreement),

                    (B) disclose to its shareholders any information required to be disclosed under applicable Law,

                    (C) participate in negotiations regarding such proposal; and

                    (D) following receipt of an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal (x) terminate this Agreement pursuant to, and subject to compliance with, Section 2.2(f) and (y) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders Seller to take; but in each case referred to in clauses (A) through (D) only if, after complying with this Section 6.9(c), the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its duties to Seller or its stockholders under applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 6.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Board from complying with Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any required disclosure to Seller’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Law, including Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A; provided, however, that neither Seller nor the Board shall be permitted to recommend pursuant to such provision an Acquisition Proposal which is not a Superior Proposal.

          (d) The Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in clause (D) of Section 6.9(c)(ii) unless the Board has (i) given Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days notice, measured from the receipt of notice of such proposal or the receipt of any material change to the terms thereof, of its intent to take such action and (ii) after taking into account any amendment to this Agreement entered into or to which Purchaser irrevocably covenants to enter into, such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal.

     6.10 Transfers.

          (a) Seller hereby transfers and conveys to Company all the Business Property owned, titled or held by Seller as of the Closing Date, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

          (b) Except for the Material Contracts set forth on Schedule 6.10(b), Seller hereby transfers and assigns to Company all the Material Contracts and Permits for which Seller or a Seller Affiliate other than Company is party or holder thereto, as of the Closing Date, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

          (c) Seller hereby transfers and assigns to Company all Business Intellectual Property owned by or filed in the name of Seller or a Seller Affiliate other than Company, as of the Closing Date, and, with respect to any Registered Intellectual Property, agrees to perfect such transfer and assignment through the necessary filing, registration and recordation with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of recording ownership by Company of such Registered Intellectual Property.

          (d) To the extent not covered in subsections (a) — (c) of this Section 6.10, Seller hereby transfers and conveys to Company all of the current assets included as part of the Final Working Capital, including all accounts and unbilled receivables of the Company, but excluding cash.

          (b) Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Straddle Tax Returns required to be filed by Company and shall cause Company to pay the Taxes shown to be due thereon; provided, however, that Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for the portion of such Tax that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such amounts were not reflected in the Final Working Capital. Such Straddle Tax Returns shall be prepared using the same accounting method and elections used for the preparation of such Tax Returns in the taxable period preceding the Closing unless otherwise required by applicable Law or approved by Seller in writing. Seller shall furnish to Purchaser all information and records reasonably requested by Purchaser for use in preparation of any Straddle Tax Returns. Purchaser shall allow Seller to review, comment upon and reasonably approve without undue delay any Straddle Tax Return at any time during the forty-five (45) day period immediately preceding the filing of such Tax Return. Purchaser and Seller agree to cause Company to file all Tax Returns for any Straddle Period on the basis of a hypothetical closing of the taxable year on the Closing Date with the Closing Date being included in the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period; provided, however, real and personal property Taxes (which are not based on income) shall be determined by reference to the relative number of days in the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of such Straddle Period.

          (f) Without the prior written consent of Seller, Company shall not make or change any election, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to Company, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any tax claim or assessment relating to Company, or take any other similar action relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax, if such election, adoption, change, amendment, agreement, settlement, surrender, consent or other action would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of Company (unless such increase is immaterial) for any period ending prior to the Closing Date.

Seller shall pay such amount to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after such Tax benefit is realized by Seller or any of its Affiliates as a refund or otherwise, provided that Purchaser shall return to Seller the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Tax benefit is thereafter reduced pursuant to a final determination.

     6.12 Covenant Not to Compete; Nonsolicitation.

          (a) For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any Person that Seller directly or indirectly “controls” (as defined in the definition of Affiliates) will engage, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United States of America in business activities that are competitive with the Business as conducted immediately prior to the Closing, including engaging in any business that offers application service provider solutions and/or professional services to hospitals and healthcare systems in order to help them in the strategic management of quality measurement and cost of care, clinical process improvement, external reporting for quality metrics, and/or patient safety and outcomes.

          (b) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit for hire or assist others in soliciting for hire any employee who at the time of such hiring or solicitation is, or was at any time during the twelve (12)-month period prior to such hiring or solicitation, employed by Seller, Purchaser, Company or any of their Affiliates on a full-time basis in connection with the Business.

          (c) If any court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.12 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

          (d) If Seller or any Affiliate of Seller violates any of its obligations under this Section 6.12, Purchaser and its Affiliates may proceed against Seller in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Seller acknowledges that a violation of this Section 6.12 may cause Purchaser and its Affiliates irreparable harm which cannot be adequately compensated for by money damages. Seller therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 6.12, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that they may have, to seek a temporary restraining order without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond, and to seek further preliminary and final injunctive relief as allowed by law against Seller or such Affiliate of Seller to prevent any violations of this Section 6.12. Seller further specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event Seller or any Affiliate of Seller is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have violated any of Seller’s obligations under Section 6.12 above, Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser shall be entitled to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any such breach.

          (e) Purchaser and Seller intend to and do hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants set forth in this Section 6.12 upon the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction within which a violation of this Section 6.12 is alleged to have occurred. In addition to Section 11.9 and not in limitation thereof, if the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions renders a final decision that holds the covenants set forth in this Section 6.12 unenforceable as a matter of law, in whole or in part, it is the intention of Purchaser and Seller that such determination not bar or in any way adversely affect the right of Purchaser and its Affiliates to equitable relief and remedies hereunder in courts of any other jurisdiction as to breaches or violations of this Section 6.12, such covenants being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

     6.13 Confidentiality.

     For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall keep confidential all information relating to Company, except (a) to the extent required by Law or legal process or (b) for information that is generally available to the public or industry on the Closing Date or thereafter becomes available to the public, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.13.

With respect to each Letter Agreement Regarding Retention Bonus and Change in Control Payment described in Section 1 of Schedule 3.14(a), Purchaser shall pay the Retention Bonuses and CIC Payments described therein if and when the same become due; provided, however, Purchaser’s aggregate liability for the Retention Bonuses shall not exceed One Hundred Seventy-Four Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($174,285) and for the CIC Payments shall not exceed One Hundred Sixteen Thousand One Hundred Ninety and No/100 Dollars ($116,190).

          (a) Continuation of Employment. On the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause the Company to continue the employment of each person identified in Schedule 7.1(a)(i) hereto who is an Active Employee of the Company as of the Closing (the “Retained Employees”). For purposes of this Article VII, the term “Active Employee” means each individual who is actively employed by the Company or on an authorized leave of absence from the Company as identified on Schedule 7.1(a). Seller and the Company agree that none of the following individuals (the “Excluded Employees”) will be an Active Employee as of the Closing: (i) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Seller assumes all responsibility and potential Liability related to the Excluded Employees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Purchaser or the Company to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any of the Retained Employees after the Closing or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of such employees.

          (b) Cooperation Regarding Retained Employees. Seller will not take any action which would impede, hinder, interfere or otherwise compete with Purchaser’s or the Company’s effort to retain any of the Retained Employees after Closing. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser and the Company in continuing the employment of each of the Retained Employees, including encouraging the Retained Employees to continue their employment with their current employer.

Employee Plans in respect of each employee or former employee (including any beneficiary thereof) who is not a Retained Employee. Except for the Assumed Employee Liabilities and the employee related Liabilities reflected in the Final Working Capital, Seller or its designated Affiliate shall retain all Liabilities in respect of benefits accrued as of the Closing Date by Retained Employees under the Employee Plans, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability with respect thereto.

With respect to any Retained Employees, Purchaser shall assume all accrued and unpaid vacation time to the extent set forth in Final Working Capital.

          (c) With respect to any Retained Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) who enters a hospital or is on short term disability under any Employee Plan on or prior to the Closing Date and continues in a hospital or on short term disability after the Closing Date, Seller shall be responsible for claims and expenses incurred both before and after the Closing Date in connection with such Person, to the extent that such claims and expenses are covered by an Employee Plan, until such time (if any) that, in the case of a Retained Employee, such Person resumes full time employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and, in the case of any beneficiary or dependent of a Retained Employee, such Person’s hospitalization has terminated. With respect to any Employee Plans covering medical expenses and other costs relating to pregnancies and maternity leave, Seller shall be responsible for all claims (whether or not reported) and expenses incurred during the period prior to and ending on the Closing Date, and Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall be responsible for such expenses and costs relating to such pregnancies and maternity leave for the period subsequent to the Closing Date.

     7.3 Purchaser Benefit Plans.

     Consistent with the terms of such plans in existence on the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates will recognize all service of the Retained Employees with Seller or any of its Affiliates for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting in those employee benefit plans, within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, in which the Retained Employees are enrolled by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates immediately after the Closing Date. Purchaser or one of its

Affiliates will recognize all services of the Retained Employees with Seller or any of its Affiliates for purposes of accruing vacation benefits under Purchaser’s or one of its Affiliates “employee welfare benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, but shall not recognize such services for purposes of accruing benefits under any “employee pension benefit plan”, within the meaning of Section 3(2)(A) of ERISA. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates will also cause to be waived all pre-existing conditions and proof of insurability provisions, for all conditions that all Retained Employees and their covered dependents have as of the Closing Date recognizing any pre-enrollment, and waiting periods under Seller’s Employee Benefit Plans in order to satisfy any such waiting periods under Purchaser’s employee benefit plans; provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit the ability of Purchaser and its Affiliates from amending or entering into new or different employee benefit plans or arrangements provided such plans or arrangements treat the Retained Employees in a substantially similar manner as employees of Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, are treated.

     7.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries.

     No provision of this Article VII shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any Employee or Former Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with either Purchaser or Company or any of their Affiliates and no provision of this Article VII shall create any such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Employee Plan or any plan or arrangement which may be established by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Closing Date any such plans or arrangements of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

     9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

     The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain operative and in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”). Any claim for indemnification for a breach of a representation or warranty not made by Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Survival Period will be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived. All of the covenants or other agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent only that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance.

     9.2 Indemnification by Seller.

     Subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.5, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any Losses incurred by them related to, or arising directly or indirectly out of:

          (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of Seller or Company contained in this Agreement, the Company Documents or the Seller Documents; or

          (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller or Company contained in this Agreement, the Company Documents or the Seller Documents.

     9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser.

     Subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.5, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates harmless from and against any Losses incurred by them related to, or arising directly or indirectly out of:

          (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the Company Documents or the Purchaser Documents;

          (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the Company Documents or the Purchaser Documents; or

     9.4 Notice of Claim.

          (a) If any action is brought against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3 (a “Claimant”) in respect of a claim under Sections 9.2 or 9.3 (an “Indemnification Claim”)(regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 9.5), the Claimant shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the institution of such action (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), from any liability the Indemnifying Party may have except to the extent such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Claimant, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any claim for indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to settle, compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall notify the Claimant of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the claim so requires). The Claimant agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the settlement, compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability. Notwithstanding an election by the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Claimant shall have the right to employ one firm of separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Claimant would present such counsel with a conflict of interest in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Claimant to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Claimants in connection with any Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not

41

to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim, the Claimant may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. The Claimant shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The party controlling the defense of any such asserted liability shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the other party, upon the request of the other party, copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of any such Indemnification Claim, and timely notices of, and the right to participate in (as an observer), any hearing or other court proceeding relating to such Indemnification Claim.

          (b) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-Person claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not preclude the Claimant from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article IX.

     9.5 Limitations.

          (a) An Indemnifying Party shall not have any liability under Sections 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the indemnified parties thereunder exceeds Three Hundred Eighty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($380,000) (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent of such excess; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to Losses associated with fraud or willful misrepresentation. In no event shall the aggregate indemnification liability under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a) of either Seller or Purchaser exceed Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to Losses associated with fraud or willful misrepresentation.

          (b) No Claimant shall be required to indemnify any Claimant to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification.

          (c) Purchaser shall not make any claim for indemnification under this Article IX in respect of any amounts that are included in the calculation of any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4.

     9.6 Calculation of Losses.

          (a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies or otherwise with respect to such Losses (net of any expenses incurred in connection with such recovery). Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

          (b) If the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX gives rise to a currently realizable Tax Benefit (as defined below) to the

Claimant making the Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnification Claim shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Claimant arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax Benefit realized by the Claimant arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. To the extent such Indemnification Claim does not give rise to a currently realizable Tax Benefit, if the amount with respect to which any Indemnification Claim is made gives rise to a subsequently realized Tax Benefit to the Claimant that made the Indemnification Claim, such Claimant shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax Benefit (with and including any gross-up payment made pursuant to this Section 9.6 with respect to such Tax Benefit) when, as and if realized (it being understood that such Claimant shall use its reasonable efforts to realize such Tax Benefit). For purposes of this Section 9.6, a “Tax Benefit” means an amount by which the Tax liability of the party (or group of corporations including the party) is actually reduced (including by deduction, reduction of income by virtue of increased tax basis or otherwise, entitlement to refund, credit or otherwise) plus any related interest received from the relevant taxing authority. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax Benefit, the Claimant shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss. For purposes of this Section 9.6, a Tax Benefit is “currently realizable” to the extent that such Tax Benefit can be realized in the current taxable period or year or in any Tax Return with respect thereto (including through a carryback to a prior taxable period) or in any taxable period or year prior to the date of the Indemnification Claim. The amount of any increase, reduction or payment hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any final determination (which shall include the execution of Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the Claimant’s liability for Taxes, and payments between the parties to this Agreement to reflect such adjustment shall be made if necessary. Any indemnity payment under this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the value of the asset upon which the underlying Indemnification Claim was based, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the value of the asset for United States federal income tax purposes.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Article IX in determining the existence of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and the amount of any Losses, the phrases “material,” “materially,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” and any similar phrase shall be disregarded.

     9.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

     Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes.

     9.8 Exclusive Remedy.

     From and after the Closing, except in the event of fraud and willful misrepresentation (in which case the Parties shall be entitled to exercise all of their rights, and seek all Losses available to them, under law or in equity), the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or

warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law (including such Law relating to environmental matters or arising under or based upon any securities Law, common Law or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.8 shall not operate to (i) interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Article I providing for the resolution of certain disputes relating to the Purchase Price between the Parties and/or by an Independent Accountant or (ii) limit the rights of the parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief).

     9.9 Sole Source of Funds to Pay Indemnification Claims.

     Except in the event of fraud and willful misrepresentation, the sole and exclusive means by which Purchaser shall be indemnified for an Indemnification Claim made pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall be from the proceeds, if any, recovered by Purchaser under the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy (Policy Number DR 0241977).

The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

     Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.6 will be void, except that Purchaser may without such consent assign its rights under this

Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to any lender providing financing to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no such assignment by Purchaser shall relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder.
