(g) GENEX Options. At or prior to the Effective Time, FFMC and GENEX shall take all action necessary to cause the assumption by FFMC as of the Effective Time of the options to purchase GENEX Common Stock granted under the GENEX Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the "Stock Option Plan"), and outstanding as of the Effective Time (the "Outstanding Options"). Each of the Outstanding Options shall be converted as of the Effective Time without any action on the part of the holder thereof into an option to purchase shares of FFMC Common Stock. The number of shares of FFMC Common Stock that the holder of an assumed Outstanding Option shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of such option shall be a number of whole and fractional shares determined by multiplying the number of shares of GENEX Common Stock subject to such option, determined immediately before the Effective Time, by 1.031712.

The assumption and substitution of options as provided herein shall not give the holders of such options additional benefits that they did not have immediately prior to the Effective Time or relieve the holders of any obligations or restrictions applicable to their options or the shares obtainable upon exercise of the options. Only whole shares of FFMC Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of any Outstanding Option, and in lieu of receiving any fractional share of FFMC Common Stock, the holder of such option shall receive in cash the fair market value of the fractional share, net of the applicable exercise price of the fractional share and applicable withholding taxes.

After the Effective Time, each Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender to FFMC of a certificate or certificates representing such Shareholder's shares of GENEX Common Stock or Canada Common Stock accompanied by a duly completed and executed stock transfer power, the respective merger consideration therefor specified in Section 2.1 (the "Merger Consideration") for each share of GENEX Common Stock or Canada Common Stock represented by such certificates; provided, however, that the Escrow Shares (as defined in subsection (b) below) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent for the Escrow established pursuant to Section 12.9. If certificates for outstanding shares of GENEX Common Stock or Canada Common Stock are not surrendered to FFMC within three years after the Effective Time, the unclaimed Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the applicable Surviving Corporation free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any portion of the Merger Consideration. (b) At the Effective Time, FFMC shall deliver one certificate in the name of each Shareholder evidencing the number of shares of FFMC Common Stock set forth beside such Shareholder's name on Schedule 2.5 for an aggregate of 125,817 shares of FFMC Common Stock or may be adjusted in accordance with Schedule 2.5 (such shares in the aggregate referred to as the "Escrow Shares") to the Escrow Agent for the Escrow established pursuant to Section 12.9. 2.6 Dividends on FFMC Common Stock. No holder of a certificate or certificates representing shares of GENEX Common Stock or Canada Common Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution from FFMC declared after the Effective Time until surrender of such holder's certificate or certificates representing shares of GENEX Common Stock or Canada Common Stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) that theretofore became payable by FFMC, but were not paid by reason of the foregoing with respect to the number of whole shares of FFMC Common Stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender. From and after the Effective Time, FFMC shall, however, be entitled to treat such certificate or certificates that have not yet been surrendered for exchange as evidencing the ownership of the aggregate Merger Consideration into which such shares of FFMC Common Stock represented by such certificate or certificates shall have been converted, notwithstanding any failure to surrender such certificate or certificates. 2.7 Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of FFMC Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares or 5

11. Tax Matters. 11.1 Filing of Returns. (a) The Companies shall prepare for timely filing by each Company, all Tax Returns of or that include such Company (including any amendments thereto) with respect to any Taxable Period of such Company ending on or prior to the Effective Time (a "Pre-Closing Period") provided that the Companies shall not amend any Pre-Closing Period Tax Return without the prior written consent of the Shareholders' Agent unless required to do so by the applicable taxing authority. The Shareholders shall pay all income Taxes with respect to such Company or as to which such Company is otherwise liable for any Pre-Closing Period (in excess of any amounts of accrued therefor on the books of the Company). Such Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with such Company's 1992 Tax Returns and shall include methods which are different than those used to prepare the Companies' Financial Statements as outlined inSchedule 11.1. The Companies shall deliver such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns to the Shareholders' Agent for review no later than 30 days prior to filing. The Companies shall prepare for timely filing by each Company all Tax Returns with respect to any Taxable Periods of such Company ending after the Effective Time (a "Post-Closing Period") and shall pay all Taxes with respect to such Company or as to which such Company is otherwise liable for any Post-Closing Period. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, if, for any federal, state, local and foreign tax purpose, a Taxable Period of any Company does not terminate on the Effective Time, the parties shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect with the relevant taxing authority to treat such Taxable Period for such Company for all purposes as a short Taxable Period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and such short Taxable Period shall be treated as a Pre-Closing Period for purposes of this Agreement. In any case where applicable law does not permit such an election to be made, then, for purposes of this Agreement, the taxable income of such Company for the entire Taxable Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the remainder of the Taxable Period using an interim-closing-of-the- book's method, assuming that such taxable period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date and treating such period as a Pre-Closing Period for purposes of this Agreement, except that exemptions, allowances and deductions calculated on an annual basis (such as the deduction for depreciation) shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and in no event shall taxable income arising from events following the Effective Time be allocated to the period preceding the Effective Time. (c) FFMC on the one hand, and the Shareholders on the other hand, shall have the right, at its or their own expense, to control any audit or determination by any authority, initiate any claim for refund or amended return and contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency or other adjustment or proposed adjustment of taxes for any Taxable Period for which that party (or any of its Affiliates) is charged with responsibility for payment of Taxes or filing a Tax Return under this Agreement. 36

After the Effective Time, FFMC and the Surviving Corporations on the one hand and the Shareholders on the other hand shall provide each other with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any return of Taxes, any audit or other examination of any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes of such Company. The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance. 11.3 Certain Audit Adjustments. (a) If any audit adjustment or other adjustment resulting from any judicial or administrative proceeding, claim for refund or amended return ("Adjustment") after the date hereof, both: (i) increases any Tax for a Pre-Closing Period which is allocated to the Shareholders under Section 11.1(a) (or reduces a loss, credit or other Tax benefit otherwise available to the Shareholders) and (ii) decreases any Tax for a Post-Closing Period which is allocated to FFMC under Section 11.1(a) (or increases a loss, credit or other Tax benefit otherwise available to FFMC), then when and to the extent that FFMC, as a result of such Adjustment, receives a greater refund of Tax paid, benefits from a greater credit for Tax applied or benefits from a reduction in Tax otherwise due, (considering all periods ending after the Effective Time in the aggregate), FFMC shall pay to the Shareholders an amount equal to the amount of such refund, credit or reduction in Tax (unless the Shareholders have previously received the benefit of such refund, credit or reduction in Tax directly from a Taxing Authority). In any event, the amount payable by FFMC pursuant to this Section 11.3(a) shall be limited to the lesser absolute amount determined under Section 11.3(a)(i) or (ii) above. (b) Similarly if an Adjustment both: (i) decreases any Tax for a Pre-Closing Period which is allocated to Shareholders under Section 11.1(a) (or increases a loss, credit or other Tax benefit otherwise available to the Shareholders) and (ii) increases any Tax for a Post-Closing Period which is allocated to FFMC under Section 11.1(a) (or reduces a loss, credit or other Tax benefit otherwise available to FFMC), then when and to the extent that the Shareholders, as a result of such Adjustment, receive a greater refund of Tax paid, benefit from a greater credit for Tax applied or benefit from a reduction in Tax otherwise due (considering all periods ending with the Effective Time in the aggregate), the Shareholders shall pay to FFMC an amount equal to the amount of such refund, credit or reduction in 37

Tax (unless FFMC has previously received the benefit of such refund, credit or reduction in Taxes directly from a Taxing Authority).

EX-10.247th Page of 57TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 47th
9.2(d) shall be deemed to be a claim for misrepresentation or breach of warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement. (c) Deductible. No claim shall be made against the Shareholders for indemnification for any breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (or in any Schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto) unless and until the aggregate Costs exceed $250,000 (the "Deductible") in which event FFMC may claim indemnification for the amount of such Costs in excess of the Deductible;provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to the extent that such indemnification relates to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty contained in Sections 5.1 and 6.12. (d) Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty contained in Section 5.1 or 6.12, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Shareholders to FFMC and the Companies for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1 exceed an amount equal to $7,500,000. 12.4 Claims for Indemnification. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall survive the Closing subject to the limitations set forth herein. The party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall give the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") a written notice ("Notice of Claim") withinsixty (60) days of the discovery of any loss, liability, claim or expense in respect of which the right to indemnification contained in this Section 12 may be claimed; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice within such sixty (60) day period shall not obviate any right to bring such claim hereunder after such period except to the extent that, the other party is actually prejudiced by such failure. A party shall have no liability under this Section 12 for breach of warranty or misrepresentation, unless a Notice of Claim therefore is delivered by the Indemnified Party prior to the earlier of (i) the date of the audit report for FFMC's calendar year ending December 31, 1994 and (ii) the first anniversary of the Effective Time; provided, however, that as to any liability arising pursuant to Section 6.12 or Section 11, any Notice of Claim must be delivered by the Indemnified Party not later than ninety (90) business days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or any extensions thereof. Any Notice of Claim shall set forth the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to which the claim is made, the specific facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim and the amount of liability asserted or anticipated to be asserted by reason of the claim. All notices to the Shareholders shall be delivered to the Shareholders' Agent. 12.5 Defense of Claim by Third Parties. If any claim is made by a third party against a party to this Agreement that, if sustained, would give rise to a liability of another party under this Agreement, the party against whom the claim is made shall promptly cause notice of the claim to be delivered to the other party and shall afford the other party and its counsel, at the other party's sole expense, the opportunity to defend or settle the claim. The failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability under this Agreement unless, and only to the extent that, the other party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If any such claim is compromised or settled without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, no liability shall be imposed upon the Indemnifying Party by reason of the claim. 39

The Shareholders shall satisfy their indemnification obligations to FFMC or any Surviving Corporation no later than five (5) days following the Determination Date. The value of shares of FFMC Common Stock surrendered in satisfaction of the Shareholders' indemnification obligation shall be the Reported Market Price. (b) By FFMC.
