writing between NewCo, the Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx within such 20 day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified in any Notice of Disagreement, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 20 day period, the Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx shall submit, in writing, to an independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the amounts of the Xxxxxxx Closing Net Working Capital, Xxxxxxx Closing Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Closing Indebtedness, Xxxxxxx Closing Transaction Expenses, Xxxxxxx Closing Acquisition Pipeline EBITDA and/or Xxxxxxx Facility Ownership Adjustment, as applicable, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder.

In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be PricewaterhouseCoopers or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed in writing by the Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx. The Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 30 days following the submission thereof.

(d) The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 3.3, including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by Xxxxx, on the one hand, and the Xxxxxxx LLCs, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(b) If Xxxxx or the Xxxxxxx LLCs disagree with the calculation of the Xxxxx Closing Net Working Capital, Xxxxx Closing Indebtedness, Xxxxx Closing Cash, Xxxxx Closing Transaction Expenses, Xxxxx Closing Acquisition Pipeline EBITDA and/or Xxxxx Facility Ownership Adjustment, it shall submit a Notice of Disagreement to NewCo within 30 days of delivery of the Xxxxx Final Closing Statement and such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3.

Section 3.5 True-Up Payment.

(a) At such time as the Xxxxxxx Final Closing Statement and the Xxxxx Final Closing Statement (and the respective components thereof) have been finally determined in accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4, the parties shall calculate any required adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.5.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Net Adjustment Amount” means an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to the difference of (A) the Closing Cash Consideration with the components thereof determined by reference to the final amounts determined in accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4 instead of the estimated amounts contemplated in the components thereof, less (B) the Closing Cash Consideration; provided, that if the absolute value of the Net Adjustment Amount is less than $5,000,000, the Net Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to be zero.

(c) If the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, (A) Xxxxx shall pay such positive amount to the Xxxxxxx LLCs and (B) the Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay all funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Xxxxxxx LLCs, in each case pro rata in accordance with their respective fully diluted percentages set forth on the Payout Spreadsheet.

(d) If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the Net Adjustment Amount for purposes of this Section 3.5(d) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), Xxxxx and the Xxxxxxx LLCs shall deliver written notice to the

Escrow Agent specifying the amount of the Net Adjustment Amount, and the Escrow Agent shall pay to Xxxxx such amount out of the Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided, that in the event the amount of funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund is less than such Net Adjustment Amount, any such shortfall shall be paid to Xxxxx through a one-time reduction in the amount of such shortfall from the first payment of either the “Estimated 9.5x Consideration” (as defined in the NewCo Stockholders Agreement) or “Estimated Premium Consideration” (as defined in the NewCo Stockholders Agreement) to be paid with respect to Shares owned by the Xxxxxxx LLCs in accordance with Section 6.5 of the NewCo Stockholders Agreement, in either case, pro rata in accordance with their respective fully diluted percentages set forth on the Payout Spreadsheet. In the event the amount of funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund exceeds the Net Adjustment Amount, then the Escrow Agent, after paying any amounts due to Xxxxx as provided herein, shall pay the remaining funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Xxxxxxx LLCs pro rata in accordance with their respective fully diluted percentages set forth on the Payout Spreadsheet, and Xxxxx and the Xxxxxxx LLCs shall deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent instructing the same.

(e) If the Net Adjustment Amount is zero, the Xxxxxxx LLCs and Xxxxx shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay all funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Xxxxxxx LLCs, in each case pro rata in accordance with their respective fully diluted percentages set forth on the Payout Spreadsheet.

Section 3.6 Acquisition Adjustment. (i) From and after the date hereof through the Closing Date, either Xxxxx or Xxxxxxx Holdings may propose additional acquisitions of Persons to be sold and contributed to NewCo at Closing (the “Additional Acquisitions”). To the extent Xxxxx consents to any Xxxxxxx Holdings Additional Acquisition prior to Closing, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx Holdings shall mutually agree to an adjustment of the Xxxxxxx Holdings Notional Equity Value (it being agreed that such adjustment shall not take in account any multiple and shall take into consideration the amount of the purchase price of such acquisition and any indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith), which adjustment shall be reflected in the Xxxxxxx Preliminary Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Xxxxx Cash Consideration and the Closing Cash Consideration. To the extent Xxxxxxx Holdings consents to any Xxxxx Additional Acquisition prior to Closing, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx Holdings shall mutually agree to an adjustment of the Xxxxx Contributed Companies Notional Equity Value (it being agreed that such adjustment shall not take in account any multiple and shall take into consideration the amount of the purchase price of such acquisition and any indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith), which adjustment shall be reflected in the Xxxxx Preliminary Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Xxxxx Cash Consideration and the Closing Cash Consideration.

Section 3.7 Withholding Rights. Each of Xxxxx and NewCo shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of applicable tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority by Xxxxx or NewCo, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made.

All such plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements, other than Multiemployer Plans shall be collectively referred to as the “Xxxxxxx Plans.” With respect to each Xxxxxxx Plan, Xxxxxxx Holdings has made available to Xxxxx a current, accurate and complete copy thereof and, to the extent applicable: (i) any related trust agreement or other funding instrument, (ii) the most recent determination or opinion letter of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), if applicable, (iii) any summary plan description and summaries of material modifications thereto and (iv) for the most recent year (A) the Form 5500 and attached schedules, (B) audited financial statements, (C) actuarial valuation reports and (D) attorney’s response to an auditor’s request for information.

(c) Each Xxxxxxx Plan intended to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or is entitled to rely on an opinion letter, as applicable, from the IRS that it is so qualified and nothing has occurred since the date of such letter that would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualified status of such Xxxxxxx Plan.

(d) Within the last year, neither Xxxxxxx Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any material written or oral communication from the PBGC with respect to any Xxxxxxx Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA.

(e) None of Xxxxxxx Holdings or its ERISA Affiliates have any liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in section 3(37) of ERISA) (a “Multiemployer Plan”); and none of Xxxxxxx Holdings, its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliates is required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or has incurred any liability to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete, partial or mass withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan, as those terms are defined in Part I of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, that has not been satisfied in full.

Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Law, Ulysses Holdings shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Tenet and its representatives, and Tenet shall cause the Tenet Contributed Business to afford to Ulysses Holdings and its representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours in the period prior to the Closing Date to all of its properties, books, Contracts, commitments, management-level personnel and records and, during such period, each such party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to such other party and its representatives such information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be required to provide access to or make available to any Person any document or information that is the subject of any confidentiality agreement with any third party (provided, that the withholding party uses reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure) or subject to any attorney-client or work product privilege (provided, that the withholding party will use reasonable efforts to allow such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in loss or waiver of such privilege). All information furnished pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement, dated as of June 25, 2014, between Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X, L.P. and Tenet (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). No investigation pursuant to this Section 7.7 or information provided, furnished, made available or delivered to either such party pursuant to this Section 7.7 or otherwise shall affect any representations or warranties of any party to this Agreement or conditions or rights of such parties contained in this Agreement.

Section 7.8 Consents and Filings.

(a) Each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably possible, the Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Closing, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) obtain all required or advisable consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, including as required

Tenet, on the one hand, and the Ulysses LLCs, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for one-half of any filing and other similar fees payable in connection with the filing of a Notification and Report Form and any other submissions under the HSR Act.

All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining any third-party consents shall be Transaction Expenses of Ulysses Holdings.

Section 7.9 Termination of Related Party Agreements. At or prior to the Closing, Ulysses Holdings shall take all action necessary to cause all agreements between Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the holders of capital stock of Ulysses Holdings or Related Parties, on the other hand, to be terminated without any further liability or obligations on the part of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. At or prior to the Closing, Tenet shall take all action necessary to cause all agreements between the Tenet Contributed Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the holders of capital stock of the Tenet Contributed Companies or Related Parties, on the other hand, other than the agreements specified on Schedule 7.9 of the Tenet Disclosure Schedules, to be terminated without any further liability or obligations on the part of the Tenet Contributed Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 7.11 Public Announcements. The parties shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law or in connection with any financing transaction undertaken in connection with this Agreement.

constitute “good reason” for purposes of determining such Person’s entitlement to severance benefits or the acceleration of any vesting or other rights under any employment agreement or otherwise. After the Closing, NewCo shall establish for the benefit of certain members of its management, as determined by NewCo’s board of directors, a management equity incentive plan.

Section 7.13 Further Assurances.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time following the Closing it becomes apparent that any entity or asset that should have been transferred in connection with this Agreement, either directly or indirectly pursuant to this Agreement was not so transferred, or any entity or asset unrelated to the business of NewCo was inadvertently transferred to NewCo, the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, as applicable, in each case as promptly as practicable: (A) transfer all rights, title and interest in such entity asset to the party to whom such entity or asset was intended to be transferred hereunder, in each case for no additional consideration; and (B) hold its right, title and interest in and to such entity or asset in trust for the applicable party until such time as such transfer is completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (A) none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the consummation thereof, nor the occurrence of the Closing shall be subject in any respect to the consummation of the Financing, (B) no cooperation with the Financing shall unreasonably interfere, as determined by Ulysses Holdings in good faith, with the ongoing business or operations of the Ulysses Holdings and its Subsidiaries and none of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action that unreasonably interferes with its ongoing business or operations; and (C) none of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action, commit to take any action or enter into any agreement, document or instrument, in each case, that (1) would encumber or require the delivery or pledge of any assets of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, (2) would result in a violation of Law or breach of any Contract or subject any of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives to any actual or potential liability or loss of any privilege, or (3) would result in any liability or any obligation under any definitive financing agreement or any related document, instrument or certificate or any other liability, potential liability or obligation in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing.

(c) Ulysses Holdings will use its reasonable best efforts to update Required Information as may be necessary such that the Required Information does not, to the knowledge of Ulysses Holdings, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state

any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time).
