ARTICLE III ----------- TERMS OF MERGER 3.1 Articles of Incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation of Pay-Fone as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and of the CGCL. 3.2 The By-Laws.

ARTICLE IV ---------- MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OR CANCELLATION OF SHARES IN THE MERGER 4.1 Share Consideration; Conversion or Cancellation of Shares in the Merger. Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, the Shares of Pay- Fone shall be converted as follows: (a) Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by Paychex and any Dissenting Share) shall be converted into the right to receive and become exchangeable for that number of shares of Paychex Common Stock equal to ER ("Exchange Ratio") determined in accordance with the following formula: ER = TV ------------------ PCP x OSO where ER is the Exchange Ratio so computed; TV is the total value calculated by subtracting from $10,475,000 the sum of the (i) Tax Claim Adjustment, and (ii) General Adjustment, which sum shall be offset (but not to a negative number) by the Positive Adjustment. PCP is the Paychex Closing Price; and OSO is the sum of (i) the number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding, however, any such Shares owned by Paychex, and (ii) the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of then immediately exercisable options outstanding under Pay-Fone Stock Option Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement and this Section 4.1(a) in particular: "Tax Claim Adjustment" is the sum of all amounts expended by Pay-Fone between the date hereof and the Closing Date (other than time spent by regular employees of Pay-Fone in the ordinary discharge of their responsibilities) in contesting and resolving claims asserted by the Internal Revenue Service against Pay-Fone for fiscal years 1987 through 1991 and described more fully in the Pay-Fone Tax Matters Certificate delivered to Paychex and Merger Sub pursuant hereto, and claims for California state income or franchise tax based on the same facts and for the same periods, including without limitation professional fees, taxes, interest and penalties, if any; "General Adjustment" is the amount by which (A) the aggregate of all losses, costs, damages or expenses (excluding, however, all losses, costs, damages or expenses which have been or are to be taken into account in calculating the Tax Claim Adjustment), each of which exceeds in amount $25,000 and would be suffered by Paychex absent the adjustment contemplated by the definition of "TV" in Section 4.1(a) hereof, resulting from any breach of warranty, misrepresentation, omission or failure to perform any covenant contained herein by Pay-Fone exceeds (B) $175,000; provided, however, that for purposes of this General Adjustment only, the determination of whether there has been a breach of warranty, misrepresentation, omission or failure to perform shall be made without regard to whether the relevant warranty, representation or covenant requires that the consequences of a breach, misrepresentation, omission or failure be material or materially adverse in order to be considered to be in violation of this Agreement. Pay-Fone undertakes to advise Paychex of all matters of which it becomes aware prior to the Closing Date which should be taken into account in computing the General Adjustment hereunder; and "Positive Adjustment" is the sum of all of the benefits (including tax benefits arising out of issues other than those asserted by the Internal Revenue Service against Pay-Fone for the fiscal years 1987 through 1991), each of which exceeds in amount $25,000 and would be enjoyed by Paychex upon the Closing of the Merger which relate to or arise out of (i) conditions or circumstances which are better or more favorable to a company acquiring Pay-Fone than the conditions or circumstances warranted or represented by Pay-Fone hereunder or (ii) a performance of an obligation by Pay-Fone hereunder that is more beneficial to a company acquiring Pay-Fone than the performance that is required hereunder. Paychex undertakes to advise Pay- Fone of all matters of which it becomes aware prior to the Closing Date which should be taken into account in computing the Positive Adjustment hereunder. If, prior to the Effective Time, Paychex should split or combine the Paychex Common Stock, or pay a stock dividend or other stock distribution in Paychex Common Stock, or otherwise change the Paychex Common Stock into any other securities, or make any other dividend or distribution on the Paychex Common Stock (other than normal quarterly cash dividends as the same may be adjusted from time to time in the ordinary course), or establish a record date prior to the Effective Time with respect to any of the foregoing, then the Exchange Ratio will be appropriately adjusted to reflect such split, combination, dividend or other distribution or change. (b) All Shares to be converted into Paychex Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except the right to receive for each of the Shares, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 4.2, the amount of Paychex Common Stock specified above (the "Share Consideration") and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Paychex Common Stock as contemplated by Section 4.3. (c) Each Share, if any, issued and outstanding and owned by Paychex immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist. (d) Each Dissenting Share shall be converted into the right to receive payment from Pay-Fone with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of the CGCL. (e) The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Merger Sub shall not be changed or converted as a result of the Merger and shall, at the Effective Time, be the only issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. (f) Each outstanding option to purchase Shares (each, an "Option") issued pursuant to the Pay-Fone Stock Option Plans (collectively, the "Option Plans") set forth in the Pay-Fone SEC Reports or the Pay-Fone Disclosure Schedule, whether or not vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Paychex and shall constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such assumed Option, a number of shares of Paychex Common Stock equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio and the number of Shares subject to such Option, at a price per share equal to the aggregate exercise price for the Shares subject to such Option divided by the number of full shares of Paychex Common Stock deemed to be purchasable pursuant to such Option; provided, however, that (i) subject to the provisions of clause (ii) below, the number of shares of Paychex Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such Option shall not include any fractional shares and, upon the exercise of such Option for the final whole share that may be acquired thereunder, a cash payment shall be made for any fractional share based upon the Closing Price of Paychex Common Stock on the trading day next preceding such exercise, and (ii) in the case of any Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 or Section 423 of the Code ("qualified stock options), the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such Option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such Option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424 of the Code. Paychex shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Paychex Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Options assumed in accordance with this Section 4.1(f). Paychex shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form, effective as of the Effective Time, with respect to Paychex Common Stock subject to such Options and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Options remain outstanding. 4.2 Payment for Shares in the Merger. The manner of making payment for Shares in the Merger shall be as follows: (a) At the Effective Time, Paychex shall make available to an exchange agent selected by Paychex and reasonably acceptable to Pay-Fone (the "Exchange Agent") through or on behalf of Merger Sub, for the benefit of those Persons who immediately prior to the Effective Time were the holders of Shares, certificates representing a sufficient number of shares of Paychex Common Stock to effect the delivery of the aggregate Share Consideration required to be issued pursuant to Section 4.1 (the certificates representing Paychex Common Stock comprising such aggregate Share Consideration being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Paychex Common Stock contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 4.1 and this Section 4.2 and effect the sales provided for in Section 4.3 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. (b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record (other than holders of certificates for Shares referred to in Section 4.1(c)) of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the "Certificates") (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for payment therefor. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and any other required documents, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive for each of the Shares represented by such Certificates the Share Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, Certificates shall represent solely the right to receive the Share Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Paychex Common Stock as contemplated by Section 4.3 with respect to each of the Shares represented thereby. No dividends or other distributions that are declared after the Effective Time on Paychex Common Stock and payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective Time will be paid to Persons entitled by reason of the Merger to receive Paychex Common Stock until such Persons surrender their Certificates. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the Person in whose name the shares of Paychex Common Stock are issued any dividends or other distributions having a record date after the Effective Time and payable with respect to such Paychex Common Stock between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender. After such surrender there shall be paid to the Person in whose name the shares of Paychex Common Stock are issued any dividends or other distributions on such Paychex Common Stock which shall have a record date after the Effective Time and prior to such surrender and a payment date after such surrender, and such payment shall be made on such payment date. In no event shall the persons entitled to receive such dividends or other distributions be entitled to receive interest on such dividends or other distributions. If any cash or any certificate representing Paychex Common Stock is to be paid to or issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such Paychex Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Shares for any shares of Paychex Common Stock or dividends thereon or, in accordance with Section 4.3, proceeds of the sale of fractional interests, delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable escheat law. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the Paychex Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such Paychex Common Stock for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund and the Fractional Securities Fund which remains unclaimed by the former shareholders of Pay-Fone for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Pay-Fone upon demand of Pay-Fone, and any former shareholders of Pay-Fone shall thereafter look only to Pay-Fone for payment of their claim for the Share Consideration for the Shares or for any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Paychex Common Stock.

No fractional shares of Paychex Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. In lieu of any such fractional securities, each holder of Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Paychex Common Stock upon surrender of the Certificates for exchange pursuant to this Article IV will be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market by the Exchange Agent, on behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate fractional shares of Paychex Common Stock issued pursuant to this Article IV. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the number of full shares of Paychex Common Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by Paychex over (ii) the aggregate number of full shares of Paychex Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Shares (such excess being herein called the "Excess Shares"), and the Exchange Agent, as agent for the former holders of Shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at the prevailing prices on NASDAQ. The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on NASDAQ through one or more market makers of Paychex Common Stock on NASDAQ and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. All commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of- pocket transaction costs, including the expenses and compensation of the Exchange Agent, incurred in connection with such sale of Excess Shares shall be deducted from the proceeds of sale. Until the net proceeds of such sale have been distributed to the former shareholders of Pay-Fone, the Exchange Agent will hold such proceeds in trust for such former shareholders (the "Fractional Securities Fund"). As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to former shareholders of Pay-Fone in lieu of any fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall make available in accordance with this Agreement such amounts to such former shareholders. 4.4 Transfer of Shares after the Effective Time. No transfers of Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of Pay-Fone after the Effective Time.

Neither Paychex nor any Subsidiary of Paychex is in violation of any term of (a) its charter, by-laws or other organizational documents (b) any agreement or instrument related to indebtedness for borrowed money or any other agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (c) any applicable law, ordnance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Body, or (d) any applicable order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Body, the consequences of which violation, whether individually or in the aggregate, have or would be reasonably expected (so far as can be foreseen at the time) to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other) or prospects of Paychex and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of Paychex to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Paychex will not result in any violation of or conflict with, constitute a default under, or require any consent under any term of the charter or by-laws of Paychex (or any of its Subsidiaries) or any such agreement, instrument, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree of result in the creation of (or impose any obligation on Paychex or any of its Subsidiaries to create) any mortgage, lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of Paychex or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any such term, except where such violation, conflict or default, or the failure to obtain such consent, individually or in the aggregate, does not have and would not be reasonably expected (so far as can be foreseen at the time) to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other) or prospects of Paychex and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of Paychex to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 6.8 Intellectual Property. Paychex and its Subsidiaries own, or have the defensible right to use, the Intellectual Property used in Paychex' business, except where the failure to own or have the right to use such Intellectual Property, in the aggregate, does not have and would not be reasonably expected (so far as can be foreseen at the time) to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other) or prospects of Paychex and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 6.9 Documents, Reports and Financial Statements. (a) Paychex has filed all reports (including, without limitation, proxy statements) required to be filed with the SEC since June 1, 1991 (collectively, the "Paychex SEC Reports"), and has previously furnished or made available to Pay-Fone true and complete copies of all Paychex SEC Reports. None of the Paychex SEC Reports, as of their respective dates (as amended through the date hereof), contained any untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the balance sheets (including the related notes) included in the Paychex SEC Reports presents fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Paychex and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof, and the other related statements (including the related notes) included therein present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and the changes in financial position of Paychex and Subsidiaries for the respective periods set forth therein, all in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied during the periods involved, except as otherwise noted therein and subject, in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements to normal year-end adjustments and any other adjustments described therein. All of the Paychex SEC Reports, as of their respective dates (as amended through the date hereof), complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder. (b) Paychex and its Subsidiaries have not made any misstatements of fact, or omitted to disclose any fact, to any federal or state regulatory authority, or taken or failed to take any action, which misstatements or omissions, actions, or failures to act, individually or in the aggregate, subject or would be reasonably expected (so far as can be foreseen at the time) to subject any licenses or approvals referred to in Section 6.1 or 6.2 to revocation or failure to renew, except where such revocation of failure to renew, individually or in the aggregate, does not have and would not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other) or prospects of Paychex and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. (c) Each of the documents, agreements and records delivered by Paychex to Pay-Fone or its advisors is true and complete in all material respects and no written information delivered by Paychex to Pay-Fone, including, but not limited to, the Paychex Disclosure contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 6.10 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. During the period since November 30, 1994, there has not been any material adverse change in the business, financial condition, results of operations, properties, assets, liabilities or prospects of Paychex and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (other than as a result of economic or political developments of general applicability). 6.11 Contracts and Leases. The Paychex SEC Reports contain an accurate and complete listing of all material contracts, leases, agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, required to be described therein or filed as exhibits thereto pursuant to the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder. Each of such contracts, leases, agreements and understandings which has not expired or otherwise terminated is in full force and effect and (a) none of Paychex or its Subsidiaries or, to Paychex' best knowledge, any other party thereto, has materially breached or is in material default thereunder, (b) no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute such a material breach or default, (c) no claim of material default thereunder has, to Paychex' best knowledge, been asserted or threatened and (d) none of Paychex or its Subsidiaries or, to Paychex' best knowledge, any other party thereto is seeking the renegotiation thereof or substitute performance thereunder, except where such breach or default, or attempted renegotiation or substitute performance, individually or in the aggregate, does not have and would not be reasonably expected (so far as can be foreseen at the time) to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other) or prospects of Paychex and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 6.12 Brokers and Finders. Paychex has not employed any investment banker, broker, finder, consultant or intermediary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which would be entitled to any investment banking, brokerage, finder's or similar fee or commission in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 6.13 S-4 Registration Statement and Proxy Statement/Prospectus. None of the information supplied by Paychex which is contained or incorporated by reference in the S- 4 Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will (a) in the case of the S-4 Registration Statement, at the time it becomes effective, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (b) in the case of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and at the time of the Shareholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time any event with respect to Paychex, its officers and directors or any of its Subsidiaries shall occur which is required to be described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the S-4 Registration Statement, Paychex shall notify Pay-Fone thereof by reference to this Section 6.13 and shall provide appropriate information regarding such event for inclusion in such amendment or supplement. Any such amendment or supplement shall be considered to be part of the S-4 Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for purposes of this Section. The S-4 Registration Statement will comply (with respect to Paychex) as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act. 6.14 Tax Matters. The representations set forth in the numbered paragraphs of the form of Tax Matters Certificate of Paychex attached to the Paychex Disclosure Statement (the "Paychex Tax Matters Certificate") are true and correct in all respects, and such representations are hereby incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if set forth herein in their entirety. ARTICLE VII ----------- ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS 7.1 Conduct of Business of Pay-Fone and Its Subsidiary. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, as set forth in the Pay-Fone Disclosure Statement, or with the prior written consent of Paychex, during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, (i) each of Pay-Fone and its Subsidiary will conduct its operations according to its ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (ii) neither Pay-Fone nor its Subsidiary will enter into any material transaction other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (iii) to the extent consistent with the foregoing, with no less diligence and effort than would be applied in the absence of this Agreement, each of Pay-Fone and its Subsidiary, to the same extent as it would in the absence of the Agreement, will seek to preserve its current business organizations, keep available the service of its current officers and employees and preserve its relationships with customers, suppliers and others having business dealings with it with the objective that the goodwill and going concern value of Pay-Fone and its Subsidiary shall not be materially impaired at the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, or the termination of this Agreement, neither Pay-Fone nor its Subsidiary will, without the prior written consent of Paychex which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except to the extent set forth in the Pay-Fone Disclosure Statement): (a) except for Shares issued upon exercise of options outstanding as of the date hereof under Pay-Fone's Stock Option Plans, as set forth in Section 5.7, issue, deliver, sell, dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber, or authorize or propose the issuance, sale, disposition or pledge or other encumbrance of any additional shares of its capital stock of any class (including the Shares), or any securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for, or evidencing the right to subscribe for any shares of its capital stock, or any rights, warrants, options, calls, commitments or any other agreements of any character to purchase or acquire any shares of its capital stock or any securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for, or evidencing the right to subscribe for, any shares of its capital stock, or (b) any other securities in respect of, in lieu of, or in substitution for, Shares outstanding on the date hereof; (b) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, or propose to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, any of its outstanding securities (including the Shares); (c) split, combine, subdivide or reclassify any shares of its capital stock or declare, set aside for payment or pay any dividend, or make any other actual, constructive or deemed distribution in respect of any shares of its capital stock or otherwise make any payments to shareholders in their capacity as such; (d)(i)grant any material increases in the compensation of any of its directors, officers or key employees, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with the past practice, (ii) pay or agree to pay pension, retirement allowance or other material employee benefit not required or contemplated by any of the existing benefit, severance, pension or employment plans, agreements or arrangements as in effect on the date hereof to any such director, officer or key employees, whether past or present, (iii) enter into any new or materially amend any existing employment agreement with any such director, officer, or key employee, except for employment agreements with new employees entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (iv) enter into any new or materially amend any existing severance agreement with any such director, officer, or key employee, or (v) except as may be required to comply with applicable law, become obligated under any new pension plan or arrangement, welfare plan or arrangement, multi-employer plan or arrangement, employee benefit plan or arrangement, severance plan or arrangement, benefit plan or arrangement, or similar plan or arrangement, which was not in existence on the date hereof, or amend any such plan or arrangement in existence on the date hereof if such amendment would have the effect of enhancing or accelerating any benefits thereunder; (e) adopt a plan of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization, or other reorganization of Pay-Fone (other than the Merger); (f) make any acquisition, by means of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of (i) any direct or indirect ownership interest in any other business enterprise or operation or (ii) except in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice, any other material assets; (g)(i) dispose of any direct or indirect ownership interest or make any other disposition of any direct or indirect ownership in or assets comprising any business enterprise or operation or (ii) except in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice, dispose of any other material assets; (h) except for advances to employees which do not exceed $1,000 per individual or $10,000 in the aggregate, incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or guarantee any such indebtedness or make any loans, advances or capital contributions to, or investments in, any other Person; (i) engage in the conduct of business other than payroll preparation and processing and related services; (j) enter into any agreement providing for acceleration of payment or performance or other adverse consequences as a result of a change of control of Pay-Fone; (k) enter into any lease of real property or equipment or enter into any contract, arrangement or understanding requiring the purchase of equipment, materials, supplies or services for the expenditure in any individual or related series of transactions of more than $25,000; or (l) authorize, recommend, propose (other than to Paychex) or announce an intention to do any of the foregoing, or enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement to do any of the foregoing. 7.2 Transactions. Prior to the Closing, or the termination of this Agreement, Pay-Fone will not, and Pay-Fone will not authorize any of its officers, employees, representatives, agents or Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, or engage in discussions or negotiations with any third party (other than Paychex) concerning any merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction involving Pay-Fone or any purchase of all or a significant portion of the assets of or equity interest in Pay-Fone or any other transaction that would involve the transfer or potential transfer of control of Pay- Fone, other than the transactions contemplated hereby. Pay-Fone will notify Paychex immediately of any inquiries or proposals with respect to any such transaction that are received by, or any such negotiations or discussions that are sought to be initiated with, Pay-Fone. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Pay-Fone's Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to Pay-Fone's shareholders a position in accordance with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to a tender offer or an exchange offer for shares of Pay- Fone Common Stock commenced by a third party or otherwise acting in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. However, if the Pay-Fone Board of Directors takes a position contrary to the Merger and the holders of five percent or more of the Shares issued and outstanding exercise their appraisal rights under CGCL Section 1300 et seq. and Paychex elects to terminate this Agreement as allowed by Section 8.2(k), or if Pay-Fone fails to cooperate as required by this Agreement in presenting the Merger to the Pay-Fone shareholders for their vote, then Pay-Fone shall pay to Paychex within ten days after written demand the sum of $300,000. Paychex represents and warrants to Pay-Fone that Paychex has been advised by Ernst & Young, LLP that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as presently disclosed to it by Paychex and by Pay-Fone's accountants, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP qualify for pooling of interests accounting and that in the absence of some change in the transactions so contemplated, Ernst & Young, LLP will be able to deliver at the Closing the opinion referred to in Section 8.2(g). In the event Paychex fails to cooperate as required by this Agreement in consummating the Merger or unreasonably fails to provide its consent to some matter necessary to permit the consummation of the Merger or unreasonably employs an immaterial failure of a condition to Closing, an immaterial breach of a representation, warranty or covenant or an immaterial addition to or alteration of the Pay-Fone Disclosure Statement to cause the termination of this Agreement or otherwise by breach of the Agreement causes the Merger not to be consummated, then Paychex shall pay to Pay-Fone within ten days after written demand the sum of $300,000. The parties agree that the sum of $300,000 is a reasonable approximation of the amount of damages each of them would sustain if damages were readily ascertainable. Thus, in each case, the $300,000 payment specified in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed liquidated damages (and not a penalty) such that the receiving party, upon being tendered such payment, shall have no further claim against the paying party, under this Agreement or otherwise. 7.3 Meeting of Shareholders. Pay-Fone will take all action necessary in accordance with applicable law and its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws to convene a meeting of its shareholders (the "Shareholders Meeting") as promptly as reasonably practicable to consider and vote upon the approval of the Merger. Subject to the fiduciary duties of Pay-Fone's Board of Directors under applicable law as advised in writing by counsel, the Board of Directors of Pay-Fone shall recommend and declare advisable such approval, and Pay-Fone shall take reasonable action to solicit, and use reasonable efforts to obtain, such approval. By agreement dated the date hereof, each of the members of the Affiliates Block executing the Affiliates Agreement has agreed to vote Shares owned by such member in favor of approval of the Merger at the Shareholders Meeting. Pay-Fone represents and warrants that the favorable vote of such Shares by members of the Affiliates Block shall be sufficient to obtain the requisite approval of the Merger at the Shareholders Meeting. 7.4 Registration Statement. Paychex will, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "S-4 Registration Statement"), containing a proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Paychex Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The S-4 Registration Statement will, if required by the Securities Act, contain pro forma financial statements accounting for the Merger as a pooling of interests (unless Paychex shall have irrevocably and unconditionally waived in writing the condition set forth in Section 8.2(g)). Pay-Fone will, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement that will be the same proxy statement/prospectus contained in the S-4 Registration Statement and a form of proxy, in connection with the vote of Pay-Fone's shareholders with respect to the Merger (such proxy statement/prospectus, together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, in each case in the form or forms mailed to Pay-Fone's shareholders, is herein called the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus"). The Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Paychex, Pay-Fone and their respective counsel. Paychex and Pay-Fone will use all reasonable efforts to cause the S-4 Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable and also will take any other action reasonably required to be taken under federal or state securities laws to consummate the Merger, and Pay-Fone will use all reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to shareholders of Pay-Fone at the earliest reasonably practicable date. 7.5 Reasonable Efforts. Pay-Fone and Paychex shall in good faith (i) promptly make all filings and seek and use all reasonable efforts to obtain all Authorizations required under all applicable laws with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and will cooperate with each other with respect thereto; (ii) use all reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or appropriate to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article VIII and to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein as soon as reasonably practicable (including seeking to remove promptly any injunction or other legal barrier that may prevent such consummation); (iii) not take any action (including, without limitation, effecting or agreeing to effect or announcing an intention or proposal to effect, any acquisition, business combination or other transaction) which might reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the parties to consummate the Merger at the earliest reasonably possible time (regardless of whether such action would otherwise be permitted or not prohibited hereunder); (iv) not unreasonably withhold any consents requested hereunder; (v) not refuse to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby because of an immaterial failure of a condition, an immaterial breach of a representation, warranty or covenant or an immaterial addition to or alteration of the Pay-Fone Disclosure Schedule; (vi) not take any action (regardless of whether such action would otherwise be permitted or not prohibited hereunder) that at the time of taking the action it knows or has reason to believe will prevent Paychex from accounting for the Merger as a pooling of interests, it being understood that Pay-Fone may rely upon the response it receives in writing from Paychex with respect to whether any contemplated Pay-Fone action has such an effect and that Pay-Fone will consult with Paychex before taking any action affecting its securities; provided, however, that in connection with any filing or submission required or action to be taken by either Pay-Fone or Paychex or any of their Subsidiaries to effect the Merger and to consummate the other transactions contemplated hereby, (A) Pay-Fone shall not, without Paychex' prior written consent, commit to any divestiture or hold separate or similar transaction and (B) neither Paychex nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to divest or hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, Pay-Fone or any material portion of the assets of Pay-Fone or any of the existing (as of the date hereof) businesses, product lines or assets of Pay-Fone. Each party hereby agrees that it will not, and it will direct its accountants not to, discuss with or make any written presentations to the SEC concerning the application of pooling treatment accounting to transactions engaged in by the other parties hereto or the Affiliates thereof, unless such party has provided to the other parties a reasonable opportunity to participate fully in any such discussion or presentation. Paychex represents and warrants to Pay-Fone that Paychex has been advised by Ernst & Young, LLP that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as presently disclosed to it qualify for pooling of interests accounting and that in the absence of some change in the transactions so contemplated, Ernst & Young, LLP will be able to deliver at the Closing the opinion referenced to in Section 8.2(g). Paychex shall promptly notify Pay-Fone if at any time it has reason to believe that Ernst & Young, LLP will not be able to deliver the opinion referred to in Section 8.2(g) at the Closing, and each of Paychex and Pay-Fone shall promptly advise the other of any fact or circumstance of which it becomes aware (and which has not theretofore been disclosed to the other) which it believes would adversely impact the ability to satisfy such condition set forth in Section 8.2(g). During the period of 60 days prior to the Closing, neither Paychex nor any Affiliate of Paychex will repurchase or otherwise acquire in the public market any shares of its capital stock (other than immaterial numbers of shares in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice), nor will Paychex take any other action a principal purpose of which is to affect the Paychex Closing Price and the calculation of the Exchange Ratio, nor will Paychex or any Affiliate of Paychex take any other action a purpose of which is to affect or, other than actions taken in good faith in furtherance of its business or in compliance with its statutory or regulatory obligations, which could reasonably be expected to affect materially the Paychex Closing Price and the Exchange Ratio. Except for acquisitions by trustees or agents under employee benefit plans maintained by or for the benefit of Paychex and its employees, no such repurchases or acquisitions shall be made during the final hour of trading, and Paychex shall request such trustees or agents, to the extent consistent with their fiduciary duties, to refrain from making such acquisitions during the final hour of trading. 7.6 Access to Information. Subject to currently existing contractual and legal restrictions applicable to Pay-Fone (which Pay-Fone represents and warrants are not material) or to Paychex (which Paychex represents and warrants are not material), and upon reasonable notice, each of Pay-Fone and Paychex shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives of the other party ("Respective Representatives") access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its properties, books and records (including, without limitation, the work papers of independent accountants) and, during such period, shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to such Respective Representatives all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested, provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any of the respective representations or warranties made by Paychex or Pay-Fone. In particular, Pay-Fone agrees to provide to Paychex promptly upon completion thereof (and not later than 25 days after month end), detailed monthly financial statements. Each of Pay-Fone and Paychex agrees that it will not, and will cause its Respective Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.6 for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of law, each party hereto will keep confidential, and will cause its Respective Representatives to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 7.6 except as otherwise consented to by the other party, provided, however, that neither Paychex nor Pay-Fone shall be precluded from making any disclosure which it deems required by law in connection with the Merger. In the event any party is required to disclose any information or documents pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such party shall promptly give written notice of such disclosure that is proposed to be made to the other party so that parties can work together to limit the disclosure to the greatest extent possible and, in the event that either party is legally compelled to disclose any information to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or both. Upon any termination of this Agreement, each of Pay-Fone and Paychex will collect and deliver to the other party all documents obtained pursuant to this Section 7.6 or otherwise from such party or its Respective Representatives by it or any of its Respective Representatives then in their possession and any copies thereof. All requests for access to Pay-Fone or Paychex and their Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be made through their Respective Representatives named in the Paychex Disclosure Statement or the Pay-Fone Disclosure Statement, as the case may be. In the event that either Paychex or Pay-Fone, pursuant to this Section 7.6, requests more than incidental consultation with the independent accountants or other professional advisors of the other party, the party requesting such consultation shall pay the fees of such professional advisors for such consultation. 7.7 Registration and Listing of Paychex Common Stock. (a) Paychex will use all reasonable efforts to register the Paychex Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, under the applicable provisions of the Securities Act. (b) Paychex will use all reasonable efforts to cause the Paychex Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement to be listed for trading on the NASDAQ. 7.8 Affiliates of Paychex and Pay-Fone. Pay-Fone shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each Person who is an Affiliate of Pay-Fone at the time of the execution of this Agreement to execute and deliver to Paychex and Pay-Fone contemporaneously with the execution hereof or as soon thereafter as practicable a counterpart of the Affiliates Agreement, which shall also be executed by Paychex and Pay-Fone. In the event any Person other than Paychex becomes an Affiliate of Pay-Fone between the date hereof and the Effective Time, Pay-Fone shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such Person to execute and deliver to Paychex and Pay-Fone a counterpart of the Affiliates Agreement. Each of Paychex and Pay-Fone shall use all reasonable efforts to cause their respective Affiliates not to take any action that would impair Paychex's ability to account for the Merger as a pooling of interests. Without limiting the foregoing, Paychex and Pay-Fone shall use all reasonable efforts to cause their respective Affiliates to refrain from selling or in any other way reducing such Affiliate's risk relative to any shares of Paychex Common Stock held at the time of or received in the Merger (within the meaning of the SEC's Codification of Financial Reporting Policies 201.01) until such time as financial results, including combined sales and net income, covering at least 30 days of post-Merger combined operations have been published, except as permitted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 76. Furthermore, Pay-Fone shall use all reasonable efforts to enable its accountants, KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP to issue an opinion in form and substance sufficient to enable Paychex' accountants Ernst & Young, LLP, to issue the pooling opinion referred to in Section 8.2(g). In the event the Effective Time is prior to July 1, 1995, Paychex agrees to publish financial results covering at least 30 days of post-Merger combined operations concurrently with the filing with the SEC of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1995 but in any event no later than August 29, 1995. In the event the Effective Time is during July or August, 1995, Paychex agrees to publish such financial results no later than October 5, 1995. In the event Effective Time is after August 31, 1995, Paychex agrees to publish such financial results within 35 days after the completion of the fiscal quarter during which the 30 days of post-Merger combined operations is completed. 7.9 Certain Covenants of Paychex. Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, Paychex will not, without the prior written consent of Pay-Fone: (a) adopt a plan of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, merger or consolidation (other than the Merger and any other merger or consolidation in which Paychex would be the surviving entity); (b) adopt any amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation, or take any other action requiring a vote of the holders of Paychex Common Stock (other than approval of the Paychex, Inc. 1995 Stock Incentive Plan), which would adversely affect the terms and provisions of the Paychex Common Stock or the rights of the holders of such shares; or (c) authorize, recommend, propose or announce an intention to do any of the foregoing, or enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement to do any of the foregoing or take any other action that would materially decrease the likelihood that the Merger will be consummated as contemplated hereunder, except as to the timing of the Effective Date. 7.10 Amendment to Disclosure Statement. At any time prior to the Closing, Paychex and Pay-Fone shall amend the Paychex Disclosure Schedule and the Pay-Fone Disclosure Schedule, respectively, to reflect additional information that has become known.

(c) No Injunction. There shall not be in effect any judgment, writ, order, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction, restraining, enjoining or otherwise preventing consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or permitting such consummation only subject to any condition or restriction unacceptable to Paychex in its reasonable judgment (which reasonable judgment shall take into account, without limitation, the size and scope of the transactions contemplated hereby and the benefits anticipated to be derived by Paychex from its rights and obligations hereunder); except where the condition or restriction would not be reasonably expected (so far as can be foreseen at the time) to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, operations, conditions (financial or other) or prospects of Pay-Fone and Paychex and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Each Member specifically disavows any undertaking, except as set forth in Section 3 hereof, to hold any securities issued by Paychex for any specific period.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the parties hereto shall enter into any agreement or arrangement (or alter, amend or terminate any existing agreement or arrangement) if such action would materially impair the ability of any party to effectuate, carry out or comply with all the terms of this Agreement.

(a) Paychex represents and warrants to each Member as follows: Each of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors or Executive Committee of Paychex representing all necessary corporate action on the part of Paychex (no action by the stockholders of Paychex being required).

Each of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Paychex, enforceable against Paychex in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application which may affect the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

This Agreement shall become effective at the Effective Time, as defined (as are all other capitalized terms not defined herein) in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 17, 1995, by and among Paychex, Paychex Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly- owned subsidiary of Paychex ("Subsidiary"), and Pay-Fone (the "Merger Agreement"); WHEREAS, at the Effective Time, subsidiary will be merged with and into Pay-Fone (the "Merger") pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; WHEREAS, at the Effective Time, pursuant to Section 4.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, the outstanding shares issued by Pay- Fone (except for those owned by Paychex or held by shareholders who perfect dissenters' rights under CGCL Section 1300 et seq.) shall be converted into shares of Paychex Common stock; WHEREAS, certain claims asserted by the Internal Revenue service against Pay-Fone for fiscal years 1987 through 1991 and described in the Pay-Fone Tax Matters Certificate (the "Tax Claims"), including claims described therein under the heading Unreasonable Accumulation of Earnings (the "Accumulated Earnings Claims") are pending, and the Shareholders are willing to assume certain responsibilities with respect to the Tax Claims and related claims and to deposit certain shares of Paychex Common Stock they are receiving pursuant to the Merger Agreement in order to indemnify Paychex against certain net losses it may suffer as a result of the resolution of such Tax Claims; and WHEREAS, as set forth in Section 8.2(l) of the Merger Agreement, the obligations of Paychex and subsidiary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject, among other things, to the parties hereto entering into this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, the KL Shareholders, Pay-Fone, Paychex and the Escrow Agent hereby agree as follows: 1. Appointment of the Escrow Agent; Deposit of Escrow Amount. Paychex, Pay-Fone and the KL Shareholders hereby constitute and appoint the Escrow Agent as, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to assume and perform the duties of, the escrow agent under and pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of an executed copy of the Merger Agreement and of a certificate or certificates representing that aggregate number of shares of Paychex common Stock registered in the name of Escrow Agent (such shares being referred to herein as the "Escrow Shares" and reflecting the deposit, beneficially, by each of the KL Shareholders of the number of shares set forth opposite such shareholders' name on schedule 1 attached hereto) equal to the quotient (rounded to the nearest whole number) derived by dividing (a) $400,000 by (b) the Paychex Closing Price as applied pursuant to Section 4.1(a) of the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement Price"). 2. Holding of the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow shares in escrow for the benefit of, and for distribution to, the parties hereto in accordance with the terms hereof. The Escrow shares shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of any party hereto and shall be held and transferred solely in the manner and for the purpose set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Shares or any proceeds thereof shall not be available to, and shall not be used by, the Escrow Agent to set off any obligations of any KL Shareholder, Pay-Fone, subsidiary or Paychex owing to the Escrow Agent in any capacity. 3. Dividends and Other Distributions. As soon as practicable after receipt of any dividends paid on or in respect of the Escrow shares, the Escrow Agent shall remit the same to the KL Shareholders in proportion to the number of Escrow shares beneficially deposited by the KL Shareholders, respectively (the "Proportion"). Upon receipt of any other distributions made in respect of the Escrow Shares (including shares of Paychex Common stock resulting from stock splits), the Escrow Agent shall add such distributions to, and hold the same as, Escrow Shares. 4. Voting. Prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent will vote the Escrow Shares then held by Escrow Agent hereunder as directed by the KL Shareholders, respectively, in writing and will execute any written consents to shareholder action or proxies as so directed in writing by the KL Shareholders, respectively, in each case in Proportion. In the absence of such written direction, the Escrow Agent shall not vote the Escrow Shares for any purpose and will not execute any consents to shareholder action or proxies. 5. Resolution of Tax Claims; Delivery of Escrow Shares (a) Following the Merger, Paychex shall cause Pay-Fone (or any successor in interest to Pay-Fone) to authorize and empower, and Pay-Fone shall take all appropriate action and execute all appropriate documents to authorize and empower, the KL Shareholders, or any one or more of them designated by the KL Shareholders, and any qualified professionals the KL Shareholders may designate (subject to the prior written approval of Paychex, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.), to negotiate or litigate the Tax Claims, and any claims asserted by the California Franchise Tax Board for state income or franchise tax liability with respect to the same periods and based on the same facts for which the KL Shareholders have responsibility hereunder (the "California Claims") to a final resolution. such authorization and empowerment shall also extend to such claims, if any, similar to the Tax Claims and the California Claims but relating to subsequent periods for which the KL Shareholders are responsible pursuant to the terms hereof. The KL Shareholders agree diligently to pursue a settlement or other resolution of the Tax Claims and, when and if they are asserted, the California Claims and any other claims for which the KL Shareholders are so responsible. The authorization, empowerment and responsibility of the KL Shareholders hereunder with respect to the Tax Claims, the California Claims and any other claims shall be effective only while the KL Shareholders remain liable for payment of amounts related thereto hereunder. Any settlement or other final consensual resolution of the Tax Claims, California Claims and such other claims for which the KL Shareholders are responsible must be approved by KL Shareholders who beneficially deposited in excess of fifty (50%) percent of the Escrow Shares. (b) Upon settlement or other final resolution of the Tax Claims (including the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations), the KL Shareholders shall deliver to Paychex and Pay-Fone a notice describing the resolution (a "Resolution Notice"), to which Notice shall be attached (i) a copy of the settlement agreement, final judgment or other document embodying the resolution, (ii) an accounting of the expenses incurred by the KL Shareholders subsequent to the Effective Time with respect to the Tax Claims for which the KL Shareholders seek reimbursement (the "KL Expenses"), and (iii) the KL Shareholders' estimate (with supporting detail) of the net economic cost to Paychex and Pay-Fone (the "Tax Claim Cost"), after reasonably anticipated tax benefits and taking deferred benefits into account by discounting such benefits at the prime rate then in effect, of such resolution including reimbursement of the KL expenses referred to in item (ii) above. (c) Promptly upon receipt of the Resolution Notice, Paychex shall cause Pay-Fone to pay, and Pay-Fone shall promptly pay, all amounts still due to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the Tax Claims in accordance with the resolution thereof. within thirty days after receipt of the Resolution Notice, Paychex shall respond to the KL Shareholders' estimate of the Tax Claim Cost. If Paychex agrees with the KL Shareholders' estimate, such amount shall be the Tax Claim Cost. If Paychex does not so agree, Paychex and the KL Shareholders shall attempt during the ensuing thirty days to negotiate a mutually acceptable Tax Claim Cost. If they are unable to negotiate a mutually acceptable amount, Paychex and the KL Shareholders shall each promptly appoint a firm of independent public accountants, and the two firms so appointed shall attempt during the ensuing thirty days to determine jointly the Tax Claim Cost. Sf they are unable to make such a joint determination, such firms shall promptly select a third firm of independent public accountants, which third firm shall have a national reputation, to determine in consultation with the first two firms the Tax Claim Cost, and such determination shall be binding on the parties hereto. (d) Paychex and the KL Shareholders shall jointly notify the Escrow Agent of the Tax Claim Cost promptly upon its determination. Following such determination: (i) the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Paychex that number of Escrow Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (x) the Tax Claim Cost by (y) the Merger Agreement Price; (ii) the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the KL Shareholders, in Proportion, all Escrow Shares remaining after delivery to Paychex of Escrow Shares as contemplated in Section 5(d) (i) above; and (iii) Paychex shall cause Pay-Fone to reimburse, and Pay-Fone shall promptly reimburse, the KL Shareholders for the KL Expenses. (e) If the quotient derived by dividing the Tax Claim Cost by the Merger Agreement Price is greater than the number of Escrow Shares, then the KL Shareholders, in Proportion, shall deliver to Paychex that aggregate number of shares of Paychex Common Stock equal to the amount by which such quotient exceeds the number of Escrow Shares or, in the event any of the KL Shareholders no longer holds shares of Paychex Common Stock with which to satisfy such KL Shareholder's proportionate obligation, in lieu of any such share of Paychex Common Stock such KL Shareholder shall deliver cash in an amount equal to said Merger Agreement Price. 6. Termination of Escrow; Continuing Obligations. (a) Upon the delivery of the final Escrow Shares held hereunder, this Escrow shall terminate. (b) The KL Shareholders agree that any distributions to the KL Shareholders and any exercise of rights or powers by the KL Shareholders under this Agreement shall be pro rata in proportion to the number of Escrow Shares beneficially deposited by the KL Shareholders hereunder, respectively. (c) Notwithstanding the termination of the Escrow as contemplated above, in the event and only in the event that the amount paid to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the Tax Claims was in excess of $25,000, the KL Shareholders agree to indemnify Paychex and Pay-Fone and hold them harmless from and against the net economic cost of any claim, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ended June 30, 1992 through 1995 or the California Franchise Tax Board for fiscal years ended June 30, 1987 through 1995 for federal or state income or franchise taxes owed by Pay-Fone, which claims are based upon the same issues or facts that result in liability in connection with the Tax Claims. The net economic cost to Paychex shall be calculated after taking into account reasonably anticipated tax benefits and taking deferred benefits into account by discounting such benefits at the prime rate then in effect. In addition, in the event and only in the event that the amount paid to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the Tax Claims was no greater than $25,000 but included some liability with respect to the Accumulated Earnings Claims, the KL Shareholders agree to indemnify Paychex and Pay-Fone and hold them harmless from and against the net economic cost of any claim, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ended June 30, 1992 through 1995 or the California Franchise Tax Board for fiscal years ended June 30, 1987 through 1995 for federal or state income or franchise taxes owed by Pay-Fone, which claims are based upon the same issues or facts that result in liability in connection with the Accumulated Earnings Claims. The net economic cost to Paychex shall be calculated after taking into account reasonably anticipated tax benefits and taking deferred benefits into account by discounting such benefits at the prime rate then in effect. Such indemnity obligation shall be satisfied by the delivery of that number of shares of Paychex Common Stock equal to the quotient derived by dividing the net economic cost for which indemnification is to be made by the Merger Agreement Price, provided in the event any of the KL Shareholders no longer holds shares of Paychex Common Stock with which to satisfy such KL Shareholder's proportionate indemnification obligation, in lieu of any such share of Paychex Common stock such KL Shareholder shall deliver cash in an amount equal to said Merger Agreement Price. (d) The obligations of the respective KL Shareholders hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be in Proportion. 7. Duties and Obligations of the Escrow Agent. The duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to and determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent is not charged with knowledge of or any duties or responsibilities in respect of any other agreement or document. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon any written certification, notice, direction, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other document that the Escrow Agent reasonably believes to be genuine and duly authorized, executed and delivered; (ii) the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or omitted by it, or for any mistake in fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be liable for its willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach of this Agreement; (iii) the Escrow Agent may seek the advice of legal counsel selected with reasonable care in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the written opinion of such counsel; and (iv) in the event that the Escrow Agent shall in any instance, after seeking the advice of legal counsel pursuant to the immediately preceding clause, in good faith be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action in that instance and its sole obligation, in addition to those of its duties hereunder as to which there is no such uncertainty, shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the parties hereto or by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, in the event that the Escrow Agent has not received such written direction or court order within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after requesting the same, it shall have the right to interplead the KL Shareholders, Pay-Fone and Paychex in any court of competent jurisdiction and request that such court determine its rights and duties hereunder. 8. Cooperation. Each of the KL Shareholders, Pay-Fone and Paychex shall provide to the Escrow Agent all instruments and documents within their respective powers to provide that are necessary for the Escrow Agent to perform its duties and responsibilities hereunder. 9. Fees and Expenses; Indemnity.The KL Shareholders shall pay the fees of the Escrow Agent for its standard services in administering the Escrow hereunder as and when billed by the Escrow Agent. Paychex and Pay-Fone, on the one hand, and the KL Shareholders, on the other, shall in equal shares pay the fees of the Escrow Agent for any extraordinary services required hereunder and shall reimburse and indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, damages, cost or expense, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent's performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability relating to this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Paychex, Pay-Fone and the KL Shareholders shall not be required to indemnify the Escrow Agent for any such loss, liability, cost or expense arising as a result of the Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach of this Agreement. 10. Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent. (a) The Escrow Agent may resign as such thirty (30) calendar days following the giving of prior written notice thereof to Paychex, Pay-Fone and the KL Shareholders. In addition, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced on a date designated in a written instrument signed by Paychex, Pay-Fone and the KL Shareholders and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such resignation or removal shall be effective until a successor escrow agent has acknowledged its appointment as such as provided in paragraph (c) below. In either event, upon the effective date of such resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Shares, any dividends and other distributions received in respect of the Escrow Shares and not previously distributed to the KL Shareholders, to such successor escrow agent, together with such records maintained by the Escrow Agent in connection with its duties hereunder and other information with respect to the Escrow Shares as such successor may reasonably request. (b) If a successor escrow agent shall not have acknowledged its appointment as such as provided in paragraph (c) below, in the case of a resignation, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following the date of a notice of resignation or, in the case of a removal, on the date designated for the Escrow Agent's removal, as the case may be, because Paychex and Pay-Fone, on the one hand, and the KL Shareholders, on the other, are unable to agree on a successor escrow agent, or for any other reason, the Escrow Agent may select a successor escrow agent and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties to this Agreement. (c) Upon written acknowledgment by a successor escrow agent appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 of its agreement to serve as escrow agent hereunder and the receipt of the Escrow shares, dividends and other distributions received in respect of the Escrow Shares and not previously distributed to the KL Shareholders, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement, subject to the proviso contained in clause (ii) of Section 7, and such successor escrow agent shall for all purposes hereof be the Escrow Agent. 11.
