(ii) encourage any of the Company’s employees or contractors to leave their employment or terminate their contractor relationship with the Company; provided, that beginning two years after the Closing Date, this restriction will not prohibit the Principal Shareholders or their Affiliates from hiring any Company employee or contractor (other than those employed by or contracted with the Company immediately prior to the Closing) responding to an advertisement run more than two years after the Closing Date that is not specifically directed at such employees or contractors or

(iii) hire or engage any employee or contractor who, voluntarily or involuntarily, has (i) left the Company’s employ or (ii) terminated his, her or its contractor relationship with the Company, unless in either case more than 12 months have passed from the date of termination of such Person’s employment or contract with the Company, except with Buyer’s consent.

(iv) Despite the foregoing, the restrictions in subsection (c)(i) and (ii) shall not apply to PeopleGuru:

(A) with respect to any Former Clients, any Former Service Bureau Clients, any Former Potential Clients or any of the Heartland Referral Potential Clients; or

If Buyer cures such Event of Default, such obligations shall again become binding for the balance of the Restricted Period; provided, however, that any activity engaged in by a Principal Shareholder or its Affiliates during the suspension period shall not be considered a breach of the provisions hereof.

(f) In addition, if any Principal Shareholder or an Affiliate thereof (including PeopleGuru) breaches a covenant in subsections (b) or (c) above, then during the pendency of such breach, the obligations under subsection (d) shall be suspended.

Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein (other than the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.20 which are subject to Article VII) shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is one (1) year from the Closing Date; provided, that the representations and warranties in (a) Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.04, Section 3.12(h), Section 3.23, Section 4.01, Section 4.03, Section 4.04, Section 5.01 and Section 5.03 shall survive indefinitely and (b) Section 3.20 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein (other than any covenants or agreements contained in Article VII which are subject to Article VII) shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

Section 9.02 Indemnification By the Principal Shareholders. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, the Principal Shareholders, jointly, shall indemnify and defend the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of any of the Sellers contained in Articles III or IV of this Agreement, of COBRASource in the Asset Purchase Agreement or of any of the Sellers or PeopleGuru in any Ancillary Document or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (other than the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.20 which are subject to Article VII), of COBRASource pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement or of any of the Sellers or PeopleGuru in any Ancillary Document, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date as of the Effective Time (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date); or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company, prior to or at Closing, or any of the Sellers, prior to, at or after the Closing, pursuant to Article VI this Agreement (other than any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement or obligation in Article VII, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach, violation or failure shall be pursuant to Article VII), by COBRASource pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement or by any of the Sellers or PeopleGuru pursuant to any Ancillary Document; or

(c) any liability or expense with respect to the Heartland Referral Agreement, which is being assigned to PeopleGuru pursuant to the Mangrove v7 Software Spin Out Agreement.

Section 9.03 Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, Buyer shall indemnify and defend each of the Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in Article V of this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date); or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement (other than Article VII, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach thereof shall be pursuant to Article VII).

Section 9.04 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) the Principal Shareholders shall not be jointly liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.02(a) exceeds $100,000.00 (the “Basket”), in which event the Principal Shareholders shall jointly be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Principal Shareholders shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.02(a) shall not exceed $1,000,000.00 (the “Cap”).

(b) Buyer shall not be liable to the Stockholder Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in which event Buyer shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.03(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 9.04(a) and Section 9.04(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.04, Section 3.23, Section 4.01, Section 4.03, Section 4.04, Section 5.01 and Section 5.03.

(d) For purposes of this Article IX, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

Section 9.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. For purposes of this Article IX, (i) if Buyer (or any other Buyer Indemnitee) comprises the Indemnified Party, any references to Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make payments) shall be deemed to refer to Stockholder Representative, and (ii) if Buyer comprises the Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to Stockholder Representative. Any payment received by Stockholder Representative as the Indemnified Party shall be distributed to the Principal Shareholders in accordance with this Agreement.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Stockholder Representative and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to respond or consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by a party (still referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Payments.

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 3%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365/366 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding. Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Article IX shall first be satisfied from the Principal Shareholders, jointly, by offset of the Loss amount (up to the Cap, if applicable) from the Second Installment otherwise due under the Promissory Note, but only if the Basket amount (to the extent applicable) has been exceeded.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, in the event that Buyer in good faith determines that, after having given PeopleGuru one or more Deliverable Deficiency Notices at least 60 days prior to January 1, 2017, PeopleGuru has not completed by January 1, 2017 to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction all deliverables as required under the Statements of Work pursuant to the Software Development Agreement, then the face amount of the Promissory Note shall be reduced as follows by reduction of the amount of the First Installment thereof:

(i) by $200,000 if any one or more of such deliverables is not so timely completed;

(ii) by $50,000 if the deliverable relating to the Affordable Care Act modules is not so timely completed;

(iii) by $125,000 if the deliverable relating to the version 5 Mangrove Software user interface is not so timely completed; and

(iv) by $125,000 if the deliverable relating to integration of Buyer’s AsureForce software with the version 5 Mangrove Software is not so timely completed.

In the event that Buyer uses a deliverable in a production manner (i.e., for any reason other than development, evaluation or acceptance testing), then that individual deliverable will be considered accepted notwithstanding the lack of any formal, written acceptance of such deliverable by Buyer. Reduction of the Promissory Note upon PeopleGuru’s failure to timely complete one or more deliverables above does not bar Buyer from seeking specific performance of the Statements of Work pursuant to the Software Development Agreement. Further, satisfying a deliverable requirement after January 1, 2017 will not affect reduction of the Promissory Note pursuant to this Section. In jointly working to develop the deliverables and resolving issues arising under a Deliverable Deficiency Notice, the Buyer and the Principal Shareholders (by causing PeopleGuru to so act) agree to work in accordance with the Deliverable Work Standard. Buyer shall not be entitled to issue a Deliverable Deficiency Notice if it has not fully complied with its obligations under the Deliverable Work Standard. Buyer agrees not to unreasonably withhold acceptance of a deliverable as required under the Statements of Work pursuant to the Software Development Agreement.

(c) Further notwithstanding the above, if a Buyer Indemnitee has delivered notice of a claim for indemnification in good faith pursuant to Section 9.02 in respect of Losses and such claim has not been finally resolved or agreed to on or before any required payment date of the Second Installment under the Promissory Note, the failure of Buyer to make the required Second Installment on the Promissory Note in full when due will not constitute an event of default under the Promissory Note; provided that Buyer tenders the balance due under the Promissory Note less any amount claimed in good faith for the indemnification.

Section 9.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.08 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 11.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Stockholder Representative and Buyer;

(b) by Buyer by written notice to the Stockholder Representative if:

(i) Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Seller pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by the Company or the Seller within thirty (30) days of the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Buyer; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by April 30, 2016, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(i) neither the Company nor any Seller is then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Buyer within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Stockholder Representative; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by April 30, 2016, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Company or any Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it or such Seller prior to the Closing; or

(d) by Buyer or the Stockholder Representative if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

Section 10.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto except:

(a) as set forth in this Article X, Section 6.02(b) and Article XI hereof; and

(b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any willful breach of any provision hereof.

ARTICLE XI

(i) give and receive notices and communications;

(ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders or otherwise handle any other matters described in Section 2.04;

(iii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to claims for indemnification made by Buyer pursuant to Article VII and Article IX;

(vii) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist Stockholder Representative in complying with its duties and obligations; and

(viii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

Buyer shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Stockholder Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement (including Articles VII and IX) and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by Stockholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by Stockholder Representative, as being fully binding upon such Seller. Notices or communications to or from Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Sellers. Any decision or action by Stockholder Representative hereunder, including any agreement between Stockholder Representative and Buyer relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Seller. No Seller shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one Seller, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event.

(b) The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of both Principal Shareholders; provided, however, in no event shall Stockholder Representative resign or be removed without the Principal Shareholders having first appointed a new Stockholder Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the resignation or removal of Stockholder Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Principal Shareholders. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholder Representative shall be sent to Buyer, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Buyer; provided, that until such notice is received, Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Stockholder Representative as described in Section 11.01(a) above.

(c) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or involved fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Principal Shareholders shall jointly indemnify and hold harmless Stockholder Representative from and against, compensate him, her or it for, reimburse him, her or it for and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with his, her or its activities as Stockholder Representative under this Agreement (the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall reimburse the Principal Shareholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied from the Principal Shareholders jointly.

Section 11.02 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

Section 11.05 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
