ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Asset Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into on October 31, 2006, by and among IBR-BYR L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (“IBR BYR”), International BioResources, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (the “Parent”), IBR Plasma Centers, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (“IBR PC” and, collectively with IBR BYR and the Parent, the “Acquired Asset Entities”), Talecris Biotherapeutics Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), and Talecris Plasma Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”). The Buyer, Holdings and the Acquired Asset Entities sometimes are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.”

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which the Buyer is purchasing the Acquired Assets (defined below) and assuming the Assumed Liabilities (defined below) from the Acquired Asset Entities, and the Acquired Asset Entities are selling the Acquired Assets and transferring only the Assumed Liabilities to the Buyer.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows.

1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Exhibit A hereto.

2. Basic Transaction.

(a) Purchase and Sale of Acquired Assets. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Acquired Asset Entities, and the Acquired Asset Entities agree to sell, transfer, convey, and deliver to the Buyer, all of the Acquired Assets at the Closing for the consideration specified below in this §2.

(b) Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to assume and become responsible for the Assumed Liabilities at the Closing, but will not assume or undertake at or after the Closing any other obligation or Liability of any Acquired Asset Entity or any other Person not included within clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Assumed Liabilities.

(c) Purchase Price. The maximum aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Assets to be paid by the Buyer hereunder is $135,000,000 (plus the amount of any purchase price adjustment in favor of the Acquired Asset Entities pursuant to §2(d)), of which $100,000,000 shall be payable in cash (the “Closing Cash Payment”) and the remainder shall be payable in Holdings Common Stock as set forth in this §2(c), in each case subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement (as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

(i) At Closing, the Buyer shall pay the Acquired Asset Entities the Preliminary Closing Cash Payment, to be paid in the following order and priority: (A) first, to each of APC Holdings, Inc., Haemonetics Corporation, St. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank and Trust Company, Aventis Bio Services, Inc., ▇▇▇▇ Stratiger, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Famille, LC, and Claus ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (collectively, the “Lenders”), to pay off all Indebtedness owed or owing to

such Lenders by the Acquired Asset Entities in the amounts set forth in the applicable Payoff Letters (as defined below); (B) then, to each of General Electric Capital Corporation and Octapharma AG, to pay off Indebtedness owed or owing to them in the amounts set forth in the applicable Payoff Letters and sufficient to secure the release of any Security Interests of General Electric Capital Corporation and Octapharma AG in the Acquired Assets; (C) then, to Talecris Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“Talecris”) or its Affiliates to pay off any and all Indebtedness and accounts payable owed or owing to Talecris or its Affiliates (but excluding the aggregate amount of outstanding prepayments made by Talecris pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Talecris Supply Agreement and the aggregate amount of all outstanding Advances, if any, made pursuant to §5(m) below); and (D) then, to the Acquired Asset Entities, the balance of the Preliminary Closing Cash Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Open Center is placed on “delivery hold” by Talecris and not “reinstated” by Talecris prior to the Closing, then the Buyer will reduce the Preliminary Closing Cash Payment by $3,000,000 per each such Open Center, and retain such amounts until Talecris removes such Open Center from “delivery hold.” The Buyer shall pay to the Acquired Asset Entities all amounts withheld pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence within five Business Days after Talecris’s removal of such Open Center from “delivery hold.” The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Open Center on “delivery hold” as of the Closing to be reinstated as promptly as practicable following the Closing.

(ii) Following the Closing, for each Unlicensed Center that on or prior to June 30, 2008, and for only the first Undeveloped Center that on or prior to December 31, 2008, was inspected by both (A) the FDA as a condition to such center’s licensure by the FDA for the collection, processing, storing, marketing, distribution, sale, and research and development of plasma and plasma-derived products, and (B) the PPTA as a condition to such center’s quality plasma procurement (i.e., QPP) certification from the PPTA with respect to the plasma collected at such center, the Buyer shall pay, or Holdings shall issue, as applicable, the Validation Payment within five Business Days following the Buyer’s receipt of such center’s official FDA license or QPP certification, whichever occurs later, as follows: (X) 50% of each Validation Payment shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow and distributed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”), and (Y) subject to the Buyer’s rights under the next sentence, the other 50% of each Validation Payment shall be delivered to the Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding that it obtained an FDA license on or about October 30, 2006, the Milwaukee, Wisconsin center shall be considered an Unlicensed Center for purposes of this §2(c)(ii). The Buyer shall have the right to retain the first $100,000 payable under clause (Y) of the preceding sentence to reimburse the Buyer for certain insurance costs to be incurred by the Buyer post-Closing, as well as to retain the next $3,000,000 payable to the Parent under clause (Y) of the preceding sentence (the “Development Cost Holdback”) until such time as the Acquired Asset Entities’ reimbursement obligations under §6(i) shall have been satisfied; provided, however, that if the Buyer shall not have exercised its right to retain the Development Cost Holdback, the Acquired Asset Entities shall nonetheless have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Buyer, to require the Buyer to retain the Development Cost Holdback in lieu of reimbursing the Buyer pursuant to §6(i). “Validation Payment” means (i) unless and until the Parent exercises the option set forth in §2(h)(iii) below, the number of shares of restricted Holdings Common Stock obtained by dividing (X) $1,428,570 (such amount being the “stipulated value” of such shares being issued as a Validation Payment) by (Y) the Applicable

Price, and (ii) following the Parent’s exercise of the option set forth in §2(h)(iii) below, $1,428,570 in cash. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such licensure and approval from the FDA and to request and obtain such QPP certification at the earliest permitted date. In no event shall the aggregate stipulated value of Holdings Common Stock issuable by Holdings and/or cash payable by the Buyer as Validation Payments under this §2(c)(ii) exceed $20,000,000 (inclusive of the $3,100,000 that the Buyer or Holdings, as the case may be, is/are entitled to retain as set forth above).

(iii) Following the Closing, the Buyer shall pay or issue, as applicable, the Milestone Payments based on the criteria set forth on, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, Exhibit C attached hereto.

(iv) Notwithstanding §2(c)(ii) and §2(c)(iii) to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, all Validation Payments and Milestone Payments not earned as of the occurrence of such event shall thereupon be deemed earned and shall be paid or deposited with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as applicable:

(A) a Change of Control;

(B) the termination of any of two of the following three individuals’ (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) respective management positions with Holdings and the Buyer (provided that, in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as long as he remains a member of Holdings’ Board of Directors he shall not be considered to have been terminated), other than any termination, resignation or removal for cause or as a result of such individual’s death or physical or mental disability;

(C) Holdings’ failure to pay the Repurchase Price within the 30 day period described in §2(h)(ii) below;

(D) Holdings’ failure to provide the Letter of Credit as required under §2(h)(iv) below; or

(E) Holdings’ breach of its obligations set forth in §6(k)(i) below.

(v) If, on or before the Closing, three or fewer of the Acquired Centers shall have become subject to or affected by a Material Curtailment Event, the Acquired Asset Entities may, notwithstanding §7(a) below, elect to exclude such Acquired Center(s) from the Acquired Assets being purchased by the Buyer hereunder in satisfaction of the related closing condition set forth in §7(a)(xviii) below, in which case all amounts previously paid by Talecris for plasma collected at such Acquired Center but not delivered to Talecris shall be repaid to Talecris (notwithstanding anything in §2(c)(i)(C) to the contrary) and the Closing Cash Payment and/or the Holdings Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced as follows:

If the Acquired Center is an:	then the resultant reduction shall be:

Open Center	$3,000,000 in cash

Unlicensed Center	$1,428,000 in cash and one Validation Payment

Undeveloped Center	$833,000 in cash

(d) Working Capital & Related Adjustments.

(i) Not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Asset Entities shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) reflecting the Acquired Asset Entities’ good faith calculations of (A) the estimated Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”) and (B) the Preliminary Closing Cash Payment to be paid at the Closing, which shall be subject to the approval of the Buyer not to be unreasonably withheld. The Pre-Closing Statement shall be accompanied by (A) the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, a detailed statement setting forth the estimated Excluded Business Sources & Uses (the “Estimated Sources & Uses Statement”) and other worksheets and data that support the Acquired Asset Entities’ calculations of the Estimated Working Capital and the Preliminary Closing Cash Payment, (B) a schedule of Inventory itemized by location, specifying the amount of Qual 1 Plasma, Qual 2 Plasma, qualified plasma, tested plasma and untested plasma at each such location and in the aggregate, (C) the schedule of vacation and sick days referred to in §6(g)(iii) below, and (D) a certificate from the managing member or Chief Executive Officer of the Parent to the effect that (1) the Pre-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Working Capital set forth therein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied with the principles, methodology and assumptions used to prepare the Most Recent Balance Sheet (with the application of GAAP governing in the event of a conflict between the application of GAAP and consistent application of such principles, methodology and assumptions), as well as the Working Capital calculation derived therefrom attached hereto as Exhibit D, and (2) the Pre-Closing Statement and the accompanying schedules, statements and other materials are properly derived from the books and records of the Acquired Asset Entities. Following delivery of the Pre-Closing Statement, the Acquired Asset Entities shall deliver any other information that the Buyer may reasonably request in order to verify the amounts reflected on the Pre-Closing Statement. If all or any portion of the Pre-Closing Statement is not reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreements during the five Business Day period following delivery of the Pre-Closing Statement. If the Parties are unable to mutually agree on the disputed amount(s), then, for purposes of this §2(d), the Estimated Working Capital shall equal the average of the Acquired Asset Entities’ and the Buyer’s respective estimates of such amounts.

(ii) In addition to the other adjustments set forth in this Agreement, the Closing Cash Payment shall be adjusted at Closing as follows:

(A) If the Estimated Sources & Uses Statement reflects uses of funds in excess of sources of funds, then the Buyer shall subtract the amount of such excess from the Closing Cash Payment. (For the avoidance of doubt, such amount shall not be paid or deducted from any Acquired Asset, including any such Acquired Asset included in the calculation of Working Capital hereunder.) If the Estimated Sources & Uses Statement reflects sources of funds in excess of uses of funds, then the Buyer shall add the amount of such excess to the Closing Cash Payment.

(B) If the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, then the Buyer shall subtract the amount of such shortfall from the Closing Cash Payment. If the Estimated Working Capital is equal to or greater than the Target Working Capital, then no adjustment shall be made to the Closing Cash Payment.

The Closing Cash Payment, as adjusted pursuant to this §2(d)(ii), is referred to as the “Preliminary Closing Cash Payment.”

(iii) As promptly as practicable, but not later than 150 days following the Closing, the Buyer, at its expense, shall cause Buyer’s Accountants to deliver to the Acquired Asset Entities a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied with the principles, methodologies and assumptions used to prepare the Most Recent Balance Sheet (with the application of GAAP governing in the event of a conflict between the application of GAAP and consistent application of such principles, methodology and assumptions), as well as the Working Capital calculation derived therefrom attached hereto as Exhibit D, setting forth their good faith calculation of (A) the actual Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Actual Working Capital”), and (B) the Final Closing Cash Payment. The Post-Closing Statement shall be accompanied by the Closing Date Balance Sheet and a detailed statement setting forth the actual Excluded Business Sources & Uses (the “Actual Sources & Uses Statement”) that support the Buyer and Buyer’s Accountants’ calculations of the Actual Working Capital and the Final Closing Cash Payment. Upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, at any time and from time to time, the Acquired Asset Entities and Sellers’ Accountants shall be provided reasonable access to the pertinent accounting books and records, work papers and the accounting personnel of Buyer’s Accountants and the Buyer, and the Buyer and Buyer’s Accountants shall have reasonable access to the pertinent accounting books and records, work papers and the accounting personnel of the Acquired Asset Entities and Sellers’ Accountants, during such 150 day period and thereafter until the Final Closing Cash Payment (as defined below) has been finally determined in accordance with this §2(d).

(iv) Upon the delivery of the Pre-Closing Statement and continuing until the 90^th day following the Closing, the Buyer and its representatives shall have the right to inspect all Inventory included in the Acquired Assets (including without limitation, the packaging, labeling, storage and quality of plasma Inventory and whether such plasma Inventory conforms with the schedule of plasma Inventory attached to the Pre-Closing Statement) and the Acquired Asset Entities shall be entitled to have a representative accompany the Buyer on such inspection(s). In addition to any other adjustment that may result from this §2(d), an appropriate downward adjustment will be reflected in the Buyer’s calculation of Actual Working Capital for any plasma Inventory discovered during such inspection(s) to be damaged, defective or otherwise non-

conforming (such non-conformity to be determined based on the requirements of the applicable supply agreement governing such plasma Inventory), which downward adjustment shall be net of amounts paid to the Buyer for any such damaged, defective or non-conforming plasma. The Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such damaged, defective or non-conforming plasma Inventory prior to final determination of Actual Working Capital under this §2(d) at market rates for such plasma at the time of sale. If the Buyer sells any such damaged, defective or non-conforming plasma Inventory after the final determination of Actual Working Capital under this §2(d), then the Buyer shall promptly remit the net proceeds of such sale to the Acquired Asset Entities. An appropriate upward adjustment will be reflected in the Buyer’s calculation of Actual Working Capital for any plasma Inventory in excess of the plasma Inventory reflected in the schedule of Inventory attached to the Pre-Closing Statement.

(v) If the Acquired Asset Entities disagree with the Buyer’s determination of any component of the Actual Working Capital as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement or any component of the Actual Sources & Uses Statement delivered therewith, then within 30 days following the Acquired Asset Entities’ receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, the Acquired Asset Entities shall notify the Buyer in writing of their objection, setting forth in reasonable detail their determination of the Actual Working Capital and the Actual Sources & Uses Statement, and the basis of their disagreement. A failure by the Acquired Asset Entities to so notify the Buyer in writing of its disagreement within such 30 days will constitute acceptance by the Acquired Asset Entities of the Buyer’s calculation of the Actual Working Capital, the Actual Sources & Uses Statement and the Final Closing Cash Payment. To the extent the Acquired Asset Entities so notify the Buyer in writing of any such disagreements within such 30 days, the Buyer and the Acquired Asset Entities will negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreements during the 15 day period following notice by the Acquired Asset Entities to the Buyer of such disagreements; provided, however, that any component of the Actual Working Capital or the Actual Sources & Uses Statement not specifically disputed by the Acquired Asset Entities in such written notice shall be deemed final and binding on the Acquired Asset Entities, except to the extent any such component of Actual Working Capital is adjusted as a result of a change in a component of Actual Working Capital specifically disputed by the Acquired Asset Entities in such written notice.

(vi) If such disagreement is not resolved within such 15 day period, the disputed matter(s) (which shall be limited to those matters set forth in the Post-Closing Statement and, if applicable, the Actual Sources & Uses Statement, and disputed by the Acquired Asset Entities pursuant to the written notice referred to above) shall be promptly submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for final resolution. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to make a final determination of the disputed Actual Working Capital and, if applicable, the Actual Sources & Uses Statement in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this Agreement and to render such a determination within 30 days after the retention of the Independent Accounting Firm by the Buyer and the Acquired Asset Entities. The Independent Accounting Firm will be requested to review only the matter(s) in dispute between the Buyer and the Acquired Asset Entities and to determine the Actual Working Capital and, if applicable, the Actual Sources & Uses Statement in accordance with the provisions of this §2(d). In its determination, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be entitled to rely on work papers and similar items generated by Sellers’ Accountants, the Acquired Asset Entities, Buyer’s Accountants and the Buyer in respect of their determination of the Actual Working Capital and

the Actual Sources & Uses Statement, and shall be instructed not to make any such determinations based on independent review. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties with respect to the disputed matters. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Party hereto (either the Buyer or the Acquired Asset Entities, taken as a whole) whose determination of the disputed matters, taken as a whole, was further away from the resolution of such matters, taken as a whole, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. In case the determination of the disputed matters, taken as a whole, is equally accurate relative to the resolution of such matters as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm, such fees and expenses shall be split evenly between the Buyer and the Acquired Asset Entities, taken as a whole.

(vii) Once the Actual Working Capital and the Actual Sources & Uses Statement become final and binding upon the Parties pursuant to §2(d)(v) or §2(d)(vi) above, the Buyer will promptly recalculate the Closing Cash Payment as follows:

(A) If the Actual Sources & Uses Statement reflects uses of funds in excess of sources of funds, then the Buyer shall subtract the amount of such excess from the Closing Cash Payment. (For the avoidance of doubt, such amount shall not be paid or deducted from any Acquired Asset, including any such Acquired Asset included in the calculation of Working Capital hereunder.) If the Actual Sources & Uses Statement reflects sources of funds in excess of uses of funds, then the Buyer shall add the amount of such excess to the Closing Cash Payment.

(B) If the Actual Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, then the Buyer shall subtract the amount of such shortfall from the Closing Cash Payment. If the Actual Working Capital is equal to or greater than the Target Working Capital, then no adjustment shall be made to the Closing Cash Payment.

The Closing Cash Payment, as adjusted pursuant to this §2(d)(vii), is referred to as the “Final Closing Cash Payment.” Within five Business Days of such recalculation, the following payments shall be made: (x) if the Final Closing Cash Payment is greater than the Preliminary Closing Cash Payment, then the Buyer shall pay the amount of such difference to the Acquired Asset Entities in immediately available funds in accordance with the Acquired Asset Entities’ written wire instructions, or (y) if the Preliminary Closing Cash Payment is greater than the Final Closing Cash Payment, the Acquired Asset Entities shall jointly and severally pay the amount of such difference to the Buyer in immediately available funds pursuant to the Buyer’s written wire instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Buyer may (but shall not be obligated to), with prior written notice to the Acquired Asset Entities, set off all or a portion of any amounts required to be paid to the Buyer pursuant to this §2(d)(vii) or §2(d)(viii) below against any amounts payable by the Buyer to any Acquired Asset Entity, including, without limitation, any and all (i) Validation Payments issuable or payable pursuant to §2(c)(ii) above, (ii) Milestone Payments issuable or payable pursuant to §2(c)(iii) above, or (iii) amounts payable under any Contract referenced in, or entered into pursuant to, this Agreement.

(viii) Within 45 days following the Closing, the Buyer and Holdings shall submit to the Acquired Asset Entities an invoice setting forth: (A) the fees attributable to the Services (as defined in, and in accordance with Exhibit A to, the Transition Services Agreement) provided to the Acquired Asset Entities with respect to the Excluded Business during the period from (and including) October 21, 2006 through the Closing Date; and (B) any other direct or pass-through costs (e.g., Federal Express charges or travel expenses for the Acquired Asset Entities’ Representatives (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement)) or other amounts attributable to such Services provided during such period to which the Acquired Asset Entities would be entitled to compensation or reimbursement under the Transition Services Agreement, as if such agreement were in effect during such period. If the Acquired Asset Entities, in good faith, dispute the validity or amount of any charge on such invoice, then the Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreements during the five Business Day period following delivery of such invoice. If the Parties are unable to mutually agree on the disputed amount(s), then at the end of such five Business Day period the Acquired Asset Entities shall jointly and severally pay the amount of all undisputed charges to the Buyer in immediately available funds pursuant to the Buyer’s written wire instructions, and the Parties thereafter shall resolve the dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3.1 of the Transition Services Agreement.

(e) The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, in New York, New York or at such other venue as the Parties mutually agree commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on the later of (i) November 18, 2006 or (ii) the ending date, mutually agreed upon by the Parties, of any regular or shortened payroll period for the Acquired Asset Entities’ employees that follows the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than conditions with respect to actions the respective Parties will take at the Closing itself) (the “Closing Date”).

(f) Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing, (i) the Acquired Asset Entities will deliver to the Buyer the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in §5(j) and §7(a) below; (ii) the Buyer will deliver to the Acquired Asset Entities the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in §7(b) below; (iii) the Acquired Asset Entities will execute and deliver to the Buyer a ▇▇▇▇ of sale and assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “▇▇▇▇ of Sale”); (iv) the applicable Acquired Asset Entities will deliver payoff letters executed by each of the Lenders, General Electric Capital Corporation and Octapharma AG in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer (the “Payoff Letters”); (v) the Acquired Asset Entities will execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, and assignment as the Buyer and its counsel reasonably may request; (vi) the Buyer will execute and deliver to the Acquired Asset Entities the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale; and (vii) the Buyer will deliver to the Acquired Asset Entities the consideration specified in §2(c)(i) above.

(g) Allocation. Exhibit F sets forth an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate). The Parties shall report, act and file Tax Returns (including, without limitation, IRS Forms 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with Exhibit F. No Party shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable law.

(h) Holdings Common Stock.

(i) The shares of restricted Holdings Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued at a per share price calculated at the date of issuance (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the lower of (A) the per share price obtained by dividing (x) the agreed upon equity value of Holdings of $2,100,000,000, less the aggregate amount of dividends or distributions paid to Holdings’ stockholders concurrently with the closing of the Recapitalization, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1,000,000,000, by (y) 10,730,790, which represents the fully diluted number of issued and outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock reflected on Holdings pro forma capitalization table set forth in Exhibit G, which number, among other things, reflects Holdings’ repurchase of shares of Holdings Common Stock held by Bayer Healthcare LLC and does not give effect to Management Equity (as such per share price may be adjusted pursuant to §2(i), the “Agreed Upon Price”), or (B) 90% of the per share price offered to the public set forth in the final prospectus in an initial public offering of Holdings Common Stock (the “Discounted IPO Price”). To the extent that there was an issuance of restricted Holdings Common Stock under this Agreement prior to the Recapitalization (such that restricted Holdings Common Stock was issued to the Parent based on the Agreed Upon Price calculated without the deduction contemplated by clause (x) above for dividends or distributions paid concurrently with the closing thereof), and thereafter (but before January 31, 2007) the Recapitalization shall be consummated, then the Parent shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of restricted Holdings Common Stock equal to the difference between (A) the number of shares of restricted Holdings Common Stock that would have been issued if the Recapitalization had been consummated on the date of issuance (i.e., based on the Agreed Upon Price calculated with the deduction contemplated by clause (x) above for dividends or distributions paid concurrently with the closing thereof), and (B) the number of shares actually issued based on the Agreed Upon Price calculated without giving effect to the Recapitalization. For the avoidance of doubt, no Acquired Asset Entity shall be entitled to receive any distribution pursuant to the Recapitalization except to the limited extent, if at all, provided in §2(i)(ii)(A) below. To the extent that there was an issuance of restricted Holdings Common Stock under this Agreement prior to an initial public offering (such that restricted Holdings Common Stock was issued to the Parent based on the Agreed Upon Price), and thereafter there shall have been an initial public offering in which the Discounted IPO Price is less than the Agreed Upon Price, then the Parent shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of restricted Holdings Common Stock equal to the difference between (A) the number of shares of restricted Holdings Common Stock that would have been issued if such Discounted IPO Price were available on the date of issuance and (B) the number of shares actually issued based on the Agreed Upon Price.

(ii) If Holdings does not complete an initial public offering of Holdings Common Stock by December 31, 2007, then the Parent shall have the one-time option, exercisable in its sole discretion by delivering notice to Holdings pursuant to §10(g) on or before June 30, 2008, to require Holdings to repurchase any or all Holdings Common Stock then held by or on behalf of the Parent or its permitted transferees that was previously issued pursuant to this Agreement. Holdings (or its designated Affiliate) will repurchase the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock specified in the Parent’s notice within 30 days of Holdings’ receipt of such notice (such repurchase date, the “Repurchase Closing Date”). The aggregate purchase price to be paid by Holdings (or its designated Affiliate) upon any repurchase of Holdings Common Stock under this clause (ii) (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be equal to the sum of (A) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock to be

so repurchased by (y) the Applicable Price, plus (y) interest, at a rate of 8% per annum, on the amount described in clause (A), calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed from the date of issuance of the shares of Holdings Common Stock to December 31, 2007. No interest will be paid on the amount described in clause (A) above for any period following December 31, 2007, even though such repurchase may occur after such date; provided, however, that if Holdings shall have failed to pay the Repurchase Price within the 30 day period described above and failed to provide the Letter of Credit as required under §2(h)(iv) below, then Holdings shall pay interest, at a rate of 12% per annum, on the amount described in clause (A), calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed from the date of issuance of the shares of Holdings Common Stock to the date on which the repurchase is completed.

(iii) If Holdings does not complete an initial public offering of Holdings Common Stock by December 31, 2007, then the Parent shall have the one-time option, exercisable in its sole discretion by delivering notice to Holdings pursuant to §10(g) on or after the earlier of (x) the Repurchase Closing Date or (y) June 30, 2008, to require Holdings to pay any remaining payments to be made in restricted Holdings Common Stock pursuant to §2(c) above in cash.

(iv) If Holdings consummates the Recapitalization, then the loan documentation to be executed in connection therewith shall provide for a letter of credit facility with a sublimit no less than $35,000,000. During any period in which the facilities of the Recapitalization are available to Holdings and the availability of the revolving credit facility thereunder is less than or equal to $50,000,000, Holdings shall cause to be issued to Parent a Letter of Credit in an amount (which amount shall not exceed $35,000,000, the “L/C Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) the current availability under the revolving credit facility, and (B) the sum of (i) the Repurchase Price of Holdings Common Stock then eligible for repurchase pursuant to §2(h)(ii) hereof, plus (ii) the aggregate stipulated value of any Validation Payments not yet then earned, plus (iii) the aggregate stipulated value of any Milestone Payments not yet then earned. Following the issuance of the Letter of Credit, the L/C Amount shall be adjusted by Holdings, on a monthly basis, in accordance with the formula set forth in clause (B) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings shall only be required to provide the Letter of Credit for so long as the availability of funds under Holdings’ then existing revolving credit facility remains less than or equal to $50,000,000.

(i) Adjustments to Shares of Holdings Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement requiring Validation Payments, Milestone Payments, and any dividends or distributions or sales proceeds thereof and any interest or other income earned thereon to be delivered and held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, with respect to any Holdings Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement, prior to the issuance of such Holdings Common Stock:

(i) If Holdings declares or pays a dividend on the outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock payable in Holdings Common Stock or other securities, then for each share of Holdings Common Stock subsequently issued pursuant to this Agreement, the Parent shall receive, without cost to the Parent, the total number and kind of securities to which the Parent would have been entitled had the Parent owned such shares of Holdings Common Stock of record as of the date the dividend occurred. If Holdings subdivides the outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable to the Parent pursuant to the Agreement

shall be proportionately increased as a result of a proportionate decrease in the Applicable Price. If the outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable to the Parent pursuant to the Agreement shall be proportionately decreased as a result of a proportionate increase in the Applicable Price.

(ii) If Holdings issues or distributes to the holders of Holdings Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, any other securities of Holdings or any cash, property or other assets, excluding (A) any such issuance or distribution of $1,000,000,000 or less on or prior to January 31, 2007 pursuant to the Recapitalization, (B) any stock dividend referred to in §2(i)(i), or (C) any such issuance or distribution pursuant to a reclassification, exchange, combination or substitution referred to in §2(i)(iii), then for each share of Holdings Common Stock subsequently issued pursuant to this Agreement, the Parent shall receive, without cost to the Parent, such evidences of indebtedness, other securities of Holdings or cash, property or other assets of Holdings to which the Parent would have been entitled had the Parent owned such shares of Holdings Common Stock of record as of the date such issuance or distribution occurred.

(iii) Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable to the Parent pursuant to this Agreement, the Parent shall be entitled to receive, upon any subsequent issuance of Holdings Common Stock (or other class of stock) pursuant to this Agreement, the number and kind of securities and property that the Parent would have received pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance of Holdings Common Stock (or other class of stock) pursuant to this Agreement had occurred immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. For the avoidance of doubt, this §2(i)(iii) shall not be applicable to any exchange pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Stockholders Agreement. Holdings or its successor shall promptly issue to the Acquired Asset Entities written notice in accordance with §10(g) below, setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon issuance of Holdings Common Stock (or other class of stock) pursuant to this Agreement (such number and kind of new securities or other property issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable based on the then Applicable Price contemplated herein). The provisions of this §2(i)(iii) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

(iv) Prior to an initial public offering of Holdings Common Stock, the Agreed Upon Price and the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this §2(i)(iv). In the event that any adjustment of the Agreed Upon Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Agreed Upon Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent. For purposes of this §2(i)(iv), all references to Holdings Common Stock shall include Convertible Securities (as defined below) and Options (as defined below) (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”); provided, however, that any and all references to Holdings Common Stock, Convertible Securities, Options and Common Stock Equivalents shall specifically exclude Management Equity.

(A) Adjustment of Agreed Upon Price. If and whenever Holdings issues or sells, or in accordance with this §2(i)(iv) hereof is deemed to have issued or

sold, any shares of Holdings Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the then Agreed Upon Price or for no consideration (each, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Agreed Upon Price shall be reduced to a price equal to the product of (1) the Agreed Upon Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, and (2) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (y) the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock that may be purchased for the consideration received by Holdings upon such issuance at the Agreed Upon Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, by (b) the total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Holdings Common Stock; provided, that for purposes hereof, all shares of Holdings Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such shares of Holdings Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.

(B) Effect on Agreed Upon Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Agreed Upon Price under §2(i)(iv) hereof, the following will be applicable:

(1) Issuance of Rights or Options. If Holdings in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Holdings Common Stock or other securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Holdings Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Holdings Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the effective price per share for which Holdings Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Agreed Upon Price (“Below Base Price Options”), then the maximum total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Base Price Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Base Price Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by Holdings for such price per share and the maximum consideration payable to Holdings upon such exercise (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will be deemed to have been received by Holdings. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “effective price per share for which Holdings Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Base Price Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Holdings as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Below Base Price Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Holdings upon the exercise of all such Below Base Price Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise or conversion of such Below Base Price Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Base Price Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Agreed Upon Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Holdings Common Stock upon

the exercise of such Below Base Price Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Below Base Price Options.

(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If Holdings in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the effective price per share for which Holdings Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange is less than the Agreed Upon Price, then the maximum total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by Holdings for such price per share and the maximum consideration payable to Holdings upon such exercise (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will be deemed to have been received by Holdings. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “effective price per share for which Holdings Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Holdings as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Holdings upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Agreed Upon Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Holdings Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to Holdings upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Holdings upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Holdings Common Stock (in each such case, other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Agreed Upon Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Agreed Upon Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.

(4) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Holdings Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this §2(i)(iv) will be the amount received by Holdings therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by Holdings in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Holdings Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by Holdings will be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration

consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by Holdings will be the fair market value (closing bid price, if traded on any market) thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Holdings Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which Holdings is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Holdings Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by an investment banker or other appropriate expert of national reputation selected by Holdings and reasonably acceptable to the holder hereof, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by Holdings.

(5) Exceptions to Adjustment of Agreed Upon Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this §2(i)(iv) shall not apply to the following: (i) the issuance of any Management Equity; (ii) the issuance of any securities, options or warrants in connection with an initial public offering of Holdings Common Stock; (iii) the exercise, conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable securities, rights, options or warrants issued and outstanding as of the date hereof; or (iv) the issuance of securities, options or warrants to lenders or purchasers of debt securities of Holdings or its subsidiaries in connection with debt incurred to such lenders or purchasers.

(v) In connection with any adjustment pursuant to this §2(i), Holdings shall, upon request of any holder of Holdings Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, furnish to such holder such information and documentation concerning such adjustment or the transactions giving rise to such adjustment as such holder may reasonably request, including, without limitation, information as to the calculation of the adjustment or reports or other documents prepared by accountants, investment bankers or other advisors in connection with such adjustment or the transactions giving rise to such adjustment

3. Representations and Warranties of the Acquired Asset Entities. The Acquired Asset Entities jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Buyer and Holdings that the statements contained in this §3 are correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement and will be correct and complete as of the Closing Date (as though made then and as though the Closing Date were substituted for the date of this Agreement throughout this §3), except as set forth in the disclosure schedule accompanying this Agreement and initialed by the Parties (the “Disclosure Schedule”). The Disclosure Schedule will be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs contained in this §3.

For example, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself).

(a) Organization. Each Acquired Asset Entity is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation,

with full limited liability company power and authority to operate the Acquired Centers and conduct its business related thereto as now being operated and conducted and to own or use the Acquired Assets that it owns or uses. Each Acquired Asset Entity is duly qualified and authorized to transact business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where required, except for such failures to qualify and be authorized as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Assets, taken as a whole.

(b) Authorization of Transaction. Each Acquired Asset Entity has full power and authority (including full limited liability company power and authority) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the managers and, if required under Applicable Law, members of the Acquired Asset Entities have duly authorized the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Acquired Asset Entities, as applicable. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Acquired Asset Entities, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms and conditions, except that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and is subject to general principles of equity.

(c) Noncontravention. Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the assignments and assumptions referred to in §2 above), will (i) violate, in any material respect, any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which any Acquired Asset Entity is subject or violate, in any respect, any provision of the Certificate of Formation or operating agreement of any Acquired Asset Entity, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any material Contract or other material arrangement to which any Acquired Asset Entity is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of their respective assets is subject, or (iii) result in the imposition of any Security Interest upon any of the Acquired Assets. No Acquired Asset Entity needs to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any Governmental Authority or other third party in order for the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the assignments and assumptions referred to in §2 above).

(d) Brokers’ Fees. Except for fees payable to Jefferies & Company, Inc., which will be paid by the Acquired Asset Entities, no Acquired Asset Entity has any Liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Buyer or Holdings could become liable or obligated.

(e) Title to Assets. All of the Acquired Assets are owned or leased by Acquired Asset Entities and not by any Affiliate thereof or any other Person in which any Acquired Asset Entity or Affiliate thereof has an interest or investment. The Acquired Asset Entities have good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the Acquired Assets, free and clear of all Security Interests or restrictions on transfer. There are no existing agreements, options,

commitments, or rights with, of or to any Person to acquire any material portion of the Acquired Asset Entities’, assets, properties or rights included in the Acquired Assets or any interest therein.

(f) Financial Statements. Attached hereto as Exhibit H are the following financial statements (collectively with the Audited Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”): (i) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flow as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 for the Parent (the “Draft Audited Financial Statements”); and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flow (the “Most Recent Financial Statements”) as of and for the eight months ended August 26, 2006 (the “Most Recent Fiscal Month End”) for the Parent. The Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (including, in the case of the Draft Audited Financial Statements, all audit adjustments proposed by Deloitte & Touche on or before the date of this Agreement, but excluding, in the case of the Most Recent Financial Statements, the absence of footnotes and year-end adjustments) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby, present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the Parent and its subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of operations of the Parent and its subsidiaries for such periods, are correct and complete in all material respects, and are consistent with the books and records of the Parent and its subsidiaries (which books and records are correct and complete in all material respects).

Except for Permitted Interest Expense and except as may otherwise be approved by the Buyer in writing, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Buyer shall not be required to make any Advance with respect to any financing activity of any Acquired Asset Entity, including, without limitation, any principal, interest, deferred or lease payment. Exhibit L sets forth the Acquired Asset Entities’ good faith projections of Permitted Interest Expense, Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenditures for which the Acquired Asset Entities intend to make Advance Requests prior to November 18, 2006.

(iii) If Closing shall not occur on or before the Deadline Date, then the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances, plus interest thereon, at a rate of 8% per annum, shall be payable within 60 calendar days of the Deadline Date. Interest on each Advance shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed from the date of each Advance to the date of repayment in a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months

(n) Recapitalization. Upon the closing of the Recapitalization, Holdings shall have a surplus (as calculated in accordance with Applicable Law and excluding any contingent liabilities relating to the Validation Payments and the Milestone Payments) of at least $75,000,000.

6. Post-Closing and Other Covenants. The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period following the Closing.

(a) General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents, and furnishing copies of Tax records with respect to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to the Acquired Asset Entities) as the other Party reasonably may request, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under §8 below). The Acquired Asset Entities acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, the Buyer will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records (including donor records), agreements, and financial data of any sort relating to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Employees, excluding federal income Tax records, and the Acquired Asset Entities shall retain at its discretion one copy of all other Tax records. The Buyer shall assume and perform the obligations associated with the maintenance of such documents, books, records and financial data, including record retention requirements imposed under Applicable Law.

(b) Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving any of the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities, the other Party will cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under §8 below).

(c) Transition. Neither Party will take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of the other Party from maintaining the same business relationships with such other Party after the Closing as it maintained with such other Party prior to the Closing (in the case of the Acquired Asset Entities, with respect to the operation of the Acquired Centers). The Acquired Asset Entities will refer all customer inquiries relating to the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities to the Buyer from and after the Closing.

(d) Confidentiality. The Acquired Asset Entities will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to the Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of the Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession. In the event that any Acquired Asset Entity is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Acquired Asset Entity will notify the Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this §6(d). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Acquired Asset Entity is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Acquired Asset Entity, as applicable, may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that such Acquired Asset Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of the Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall designate.

(e) Restrictive Covenants.

(i) For a period of three years from and after the Closing Date, none of the Acquired Asset Entities, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (collectively, the “Seller Restricted Parties”) will, directly or indirectly through an Affiliate, a family member or otherwise, own, open or operate any plasma collection center within the Seller Restricted Area (as defined on Exhibit M hereto). For a period of three years from and after the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor Holdings (together, the “Buyer Restricted Parties”) will, directly or indirectly, through an Affiliate or otherwise, use the Licensed Materials (as defined in the License Agreement) to own, open or operate any plasma collection center within the Buyer Restricted Area (as defined on Exhibit M hereto).

(ii) For a period of three years from and after the Closing Date, none of the Seller Restricted Parties will, directly or indirectly, on his, her or its own behalf or in combination with others, hire, engage or solicit for employment or consulting services, the Key Employees, other individuals identified on Exhibit K hereto or any of the Buyer’s employees, except that (A) such restrictions shall not apply with respect to any such Person who is terminated by the Buyer after the Closing; and (B) such restrictions shall lapse after the first anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to any such Person employed in human resources or finance functions for the Acquired Asset Entities immediately prior to the Closing and who declines relocation requested by the Buyer. For a period of three years from and after the Closing Date, none of the Buyer Restricted Parties will, directly or indirectly, on his, her or its own behalf or in combination with others, hire, engage or solicit for employment or consulting services any post-Closing employee of the Acquired Asset Entities (including, without limitation, the employees listed on Exhibit M-1), except that such restrictions shall not apply with respect to any such Person who is terminated by any Acquired Asset Entity after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this §3(e)(ii) shall not prevent non-targeted solicitations of employment that are widely disseminated or made available to the general public, or the hiring of any personnel responding thereto.

(iii) From and after the date of this Agreement, none of the Seller Restricted Parties shall disparage Buyer, Holdings or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees or agents. From and after the date of this Agreement, neither the Buyer nor Holdings nor any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees or agents, shall disparage any of the Acquired Asset Entities or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees or agents.

(iv) From and after the date of this Agreement, none of the Seller Restricted Parties will, directly or indirectly, on his, her or its own behalf or in combination with others, purchase, own or hold an economic interest, whether as an owner, partner, shareholder, agent, employee, consultant or (without limitation by the specific enumeration of the foregoing) otherwise, in any of the Leased Real Property other than as specifically set forth on §3(cc) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(v) The Parties, on their own behalf and on behalf of other Persons within the scope of the covenants set forth in this §6(e), recognize that the territorial, time and scope limitations of this §6(e) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of such Parties, Affiliates and Persons, and in the event that any such territorial, time or scope limitation is ruled unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree to empower and urge the court to reduce any such territorial, time or scope limitations to reasonable and enforceable limits under the circumstances, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. In the event of any breach of subsection (i) or (ii) above, the time period of the breached covenant shall be extended for the period of such breach. Each of the Parties shall be entitled to all rights and remedies at law and in equity in connection with any breach of this §6(e).

(vi) The Parties acknowledge that payment of the Purchase Price by the Buyer, the sale of the Acquired Assets by the Acquired Asset Entities and the other representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained other mutual promises set forth herein constitute good and valid consideration for the covenants of the Parties in this §6(e).

(f) Consent of Third Parties. This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Acquired Asset (including, without limitation, any Contract or Lease) or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if such assignment, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention of such Acquired Asset or in any way adversely affect the rights of the Buyer thereunder. Except as may otherwise be set forth in §5(j) above and §6(h) below, each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts (but without any payment of money in excess of the Expense Cap, unless required under the terms and conditions of the specific Contract or Lease being assigned, or the incurrence of any additional liability) to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Acquired Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to the Buyer as Buyer may request. Except as may otherwise be set forth in §5(j) above and §6(h) below, if such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of the Buyer thereunder so that the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, then Acquired Asset Entities and the Buyer will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to the Buyer, designed to provide the Buyer after the Closing with the benefits intended to be assigned

to the Buyer with respect to the underlying Acquired Asset, including in the case of any Acquired Asset that is a Contract, enforcement of rights thereunder at the cost and for the account of the Buyer, and, provided that the Buyer receives all such benefits, the Buyer shall pay or satisfy any Assumed Liabilities with respect to such Contract as and when they are due, to the extent Buyer would have been responsible therefor hereunder if such consent or approval had been obtained. Nothing in this §6(f) shall be deemed a waiver by the Buyer of its right to have received on or before the Closing an effective assignment of all the Acquired Assets as a condition to Closing under §7(a) hereof. If there shall be any conflict between this §6(f) and the specific provisions of §5(j) above and §6(h) below, the provisions of §5(j) above and §6(h) below shall control.

(g) Employee Matters.

(i) Offers of Employment. Effective as of the close of business on the Closing Date, Buyer shall offer at-will employment to all of the employees listed on Exhibit K (which shall be updated through the Closing Date, subject to the Buyer’s reasonable approval thereof) who are in good standing on the Closing Date (each, a “Closing Date Employee”), contingent upon the Closing, for at least the same rate of base salary, wages and/or commissions and the same job position in effect immediately prior to the Closing. A Closing Date Employee will become an employee of Buyer (a “Transferred Employee”), if at all, on or as of: (1) the Closing Date, if such Closing Date Employee is then actively at work; (2) the Closing Date, if such Closing Date Employee is absent from work on such date due to authorized vacation, jury duty or other authorized temporary leave of absence and returns to active employment following the end of the vacation or leave of absence or the completion of jury duty, as the case may be; or (3) the date such Closing Date Employee returns to active employment, in the case of a Closing Date Employee who, on the Closing Date, is absent from work due to maternity leave, military leave or long term disability with a right to return to his or her job, and who returns to active employment within the time required under the original terms and conditions applicable to such absence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall not be obligated to hire any Closing Date Employee who fails to provide the Buyer documentation as required by applicable federal or state laws in connection with the commencement of such employment or who fails to pass the Buyer’s pre-employment background check.

(ii) Retained Obligations of the Acquired Asset Entities. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Acquired Asset Entities shall terminate the employment of each Transferred Employee. Unless and except to the extent included in the calculation of Actual Working Capital, the Buyer shall have no obligation whatsoever to pay all or any part of, and the Acquired Asset Entities shall remain responsible for the payment of (1) unpaid salaries, wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, or payroll items accrued through the Closing Date, (2) any bonuses or other amounts which, as of the Closing Date, have been earned by Employees as a result of or arising from the transactions contemplated herein, and (3) any amounts payable to any Employee terminated prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall have no obligations or Liabilities which arise prior to or directly from the Acquired Asset Entities’ termination of the employment of the Transferred Employees pursuant to this §6(g)(ii) to provide COBRA continuation coverage to any Employee, including but not limited to such obligations or Liabilities with respect to any “M & A qualified beneficiaries” of the Acquired Asset Entities, as defined in Treas. Reg. 54.4980B-9(A-4).

(iii) Vacation and Sick Days. With respect to unused vacation days and sick pay, Buyer will assume responsibility for and credit each Transferred Employee with such number of unused vacation days and sick pay credited to such Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date in accordance with the Acquired Asset Entities’ policies applicable to the Transferred Employee (but only to the extent accrued and included in the calculation of Working Capital under §2(d)). Concurrently with the delivery of the Pre-Closing Statement under §2(d) above, the Acquired Asset Entities will provide the Buyer with a schedule setting forth the number of unused vacation days and sick pay credited to each of its employees as of the Closing Date, together with such other information as is reasonably required for Buyer to carry out its obligations under this paragraph. After the Transferred Employees use any vacation and sick leave that is transferred as of the Closing Date, all future vacation and sick leave accrual for Transferred Employees will be pursuant to the Buyer’s established policies for such benefits.

(iv) Benefit Plan Coverage. Buyer agrees that, as of the Closing Date and through the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide or otherwise make available to the Transferred Employees a level of group health care benefits which, individually, is not materially less favorable to the Transferred Employees than the group health care benefits provided or made available to them by the Acquired Asset Entities immediately prior to the Closing and, to the extent permitted in providing group health care benefits, Buyer will recognize all deductibles and coinsurance payments accrued by the Transferred Employees during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs and to waive any preexisting condition limitations for the Transferred Employees to the extent such conditions were waived or satisfied prior to the Closing Date under the terms of the Acquired Asset Entities’ corresponding group health plan. Buyer further agrees that, beginning no later than January 1, 2007 and through the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall maintain and sponsor a 401(k) plan that recognizes service with the Acquired Asset Entities for the purpose of determining eligibility and vesting (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) and that provides Transferred Employees with benefits that are not materially less favorable than those provided to such Transferred Employees under the Acquired Asset Entities’ 401(k) plan. Buyer shall recognize the service of Transferred Employees with the Acquired Asset Entities and its Affiliates for the purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting under any severance, paid time off or other similar plan, policy or arrangement of Buyer under which such Transferred Employees are otherwise covered.

(v) Payroll Tax Administration. To the extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, Revenue Procedure 2004-53, Buyer will file (with the federal government and the state(s), where appropriate) a single Form W-2 for the 2006 taxable year for each Transferred Employee reporting the wages paid by both Buyer and the Acquired Asset Entities to any such Transferred Employee. The Acquired Asset Entities will furnish or cause to be furnished to Buyer all information and documentation relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date necessary for Buyer to prepare and distribute Forms W-2 for the year ending December 31, 2006 to the Transferred Employees on or before January 15, 2007. In addition, each of the Acquired Asset Entities, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will file Forms 941 for the quarter during which the Closing occurs, reflecting the wages and deposits made during its period of ownership with respect to the Transferred Employees. To the extent permitted by law, the Acquired Asset Entities and Buyer shall treat Buyer as a “successor employer” and the Acquired Asset Entities and their Affiliates as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code with respect to the Transferred Employees for purposes of

taxes imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act and the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act.

(h) Options Upon Failure to Obtain Certain Lease Documents.

(i) For purposes of this §6(h):

(A) “Affected Center” means, (x) for purposes of clause (ii) hereunder, any Undeveloped Center or Additional Center set forth in Exhibit M-2 for which the Acquired Asset Entities have failed to obtain a lease on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit M-2 (each, a “New Lease”); and (y) for purposes of the remainder of this §6(h), any Acquired Center underlying any Lease under §5(j) for which the Acquired Asset Entities have failed to obtain any corresponding Lease Closing Document.

(B) “Substitute Center” means: (X) if the Affected Center is an Open Center, a plasma collection center that produces and delivers plasma at volumes not less than 95% of the production and delivery volumes of the Affected Center and of a quality consistently equivalent to or better than that of the Affected Center; (Y) if the Affected Center is an Unlicensed Center, a plasma collection center that produces, and reasonably can be expected to deliver, plasma at volumes not less than 95% of the production and expected delivery volumes of the Affected Center and of a quality consistently equivalent to or better than the Affected Center; and (Z) if the Affected Center is an Undeveloped Center or an Additional Center, a plasma collection center that has the capacity (including, without limitation, square footage, projected number of collection stations, freezer and storage capacity) reasonably equivalent to the Affected Center.

(ii) If the Acquired Asset Entities fail to obtain any New Lease, then as promptly as practicable after such failure, the Acquired Asset Entities shall propose one or more Substitute Centers to the Buyer until such time as the Buyer approves, in its sole and absolute discretion, one such Substitute Center as an acceptable substitute for such Affected Center. Thereafter, such Substitute Center shall be deemed an Acquired Center for all purposes under this Agreement. The Acquired Asset Entities will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such New Leases not previously obtained. If the Acquired Asset Entities do obtain a New Lease for any previously substituted Affected Center, then the Buyer shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to return the Substitute Center to the Acquired Asset Entities and accept the Affected Center in its place.

(iii) If the Acquired Asset Entities fail to obtain any Lease Closing Document with respect to any of the Leases under §5(j), then the Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, select any of the following options with respect to each Affected Center: (A) the Buyer shall purchase such Affected Center (the “Purchase Option”); (B) if the Acquired Asset Entities propose a Substitute Center, the Buyer shall purchase the Substitute Center in lieu of such Affected Center (the “Substitution Option”), in which case such Substitute Center shall be deemed an Acquired Center for all purposes under this Agreement; or (C) the Buyer and the Acquired Asset Entities shall execute and deliver an agency agreement, for a initial term of no less than one year and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Parties, pursuant to which the Acquired Asset Entities shall (as applicable) continue the development of, and collect, store and deliver plasma at and from, such Affected Center as the Buyer’s agent (using, to the extent

permitted by Applicable Law, employees or subcontractors of the Buyer, the Buyer’s management and operations procedures) (such option, together with the Purchase Option and the Substitution Option, the “Workaround Options”), in each case subject to the further provisions of this §6(h). If there shall be more than one Affected Center, the Buyer may, in its sole discretion, select the same or different Workaround Option(s) for such Affected Centers.

(iv) If the Buyer selects (A) the Purchase Option and/or (B) the Substitution Option using a Substitute Center for which the Acquired Asset Entities likewise failed to obtain any Lease Closing Document, the Acquired Asset Entities will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 6 months from the Closing Date to obtain all Lease Closing Document(s) not previously obtained. If, at the end of such 6-month period, the Acquired Asset Entities shall have fully complied with their obligations hereunder, yet shall have still failed to obtain any such Lease Closing Document(s) for any Acquired Center purchased by the Buyer under the Purchase Option or the Substitution Option, then the Buyer shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion by delivering notice to the Acquired Asset Entities pursuant to §10(g) on or before the 9-month anniversary of the Closing Date, to sell to the Acquired Asset Entities (and, if exercised, the Acquired Asset Entities shall have the obligation to repurchase from the Buyer) such Acquired Center for the consideration and on the other terms set forth in clause §6(h)(iii) below (the “Put Option”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Buyer may, in its sole discretion and upon prior written notice to the Acquired Asset Entities, elect to deduct any amounts to be paid or delivered by the Acquired Asset Entities upon exercise of the Put Option in accordance with this §6(h)(ii) and §6(h)(iii) above from any Validation Payments or Milestone Payments to be paid or issued pursuant to §§2(c)(ii) and 2(c)(iii) above.

(v) If the Buyer exercises the Put Option pursuant to §6(h)(ii) above, then, with respect to each Acquired Center repurchased by the Acquired Asset Entities, the Acquired Asset Entities shall pay or deliver to the Buyer the amount(s) of cash and/or the Holdings Common Stock specified below:

If the repurchased Acquired Center is an:		then the Acquired Asset Entities shall pay, deliver and/or forfeit to Buyer:

Open Center		$3,000,000 in cash

Unlicensed Center		$1,428,000 in cash and one Validation Payment

Undeveloped Center		$833,000 in cash

; provided, however, that if a Substitute Center is then available, the Buyer may, in its sole discretion, accept such Substitute Center in lieu of the consideration specified above for the particular Acquired Center, in which case such Substitute Center shall be deemed an Acquired Center for all purposes under this Agreement. The closing of such sale and repurchase shall take place as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Buyer gives notice to the Acquired Asset Entities of its exercise of the Put Option, but in no event later than 30 days following the date of such notice.

(i) Development and Certain Renovation Costs.

(i) The Acquired Asset Entities shall jointly and severally reimburse the Buyer for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with the build out or development of the Undeveloped Centers and the acquisition of equipment and other tangible assets reasonably necessary or desirable for the operation of such centers in accordance with Exhibit N (collectively, “Development Costs”); provided, however, that the Acquired Asset Entities shall only be responsible for reimbursement of such Development Costs incurred in accordance with Exhibit N if and to the extent such Development Costs exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate. Notwithstanding the above, the Acquired Asset Entities’ total obligations for reimbursement of Development Costs pursuant to this §6(i)(i) shall not exceed $3,000,000. For example, (A) if the Buyer incurs Development Costs of $5,500,000, then the Acquired Asset Entities would be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Buyer for the $2,500,000 of Development Costs in excess of the first $3,000,000, and (B) if the Buyer incurs Development Costs of $6,500,000, then the Acquired Asset Entities would be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Buyer for $3,000,000 of Development Costs in excess of the first $3,000,000. All such Development Costs to be reimbursed by the Acquired Asset Entities pursuant to this §6(i) shall be deducted from the Development Cost Holdback. If the Development Cost Holdback exceeds the aggregate amount of Development Costs to be reimbursed by the Acquired Asset Entities pursuant to this §6(i)(i), then the Buyer shall pay the amount of such excess to the Acquired Asset Entities as promptly as practicable after the final calculation of the Development Costs.

(ii) The Acquired Asset Entities shall use commercially reasonable efforts to renovate and expand the Licensed Center located in Monroe, Louisiana (referred to as Monroe #1), and the Acquired Asset Entities shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses related to the renovation and expansion of such center.

(j) Additional Centers. The Acquired Asset Entities will build out and deliver to the Buyer four additional undeveloped plasma collection centers (collectively, the “Additional Centers”) as follows:

Additional Center:		Delivery Deadline:

▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ #▇		March 31, 2007

Toledo, OH		June 30, ▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇		June 30, ▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ #3		October 31, 2008

Each Additional Center (1) will meet, as of their respective dates of delivery, the general and specific specifications set forth on Exhibit O hereto, and (2) will be delivered pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement, under which the Acquired Asset Entities will make representations and warranties regarding such Additional Center substantially similar to those

contained herein and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to the Acquired Asset Entities, the Buyer and Holdings.

(k) Covenants Regarding Holdings Common Stock.

(i) Within 120 days following the Closing, Holdings will amend or terminate all agreements, certificates or other documents identified on §4(c) of the Buyer’s Disclosure Schedule that would prohibit, in whole or in part, the repurchase of the Parent’s shares of Holdings Common Stock pursuant to §2(h)(ii) above.

(ii) From and after the date of this Agreement until the exercise or expiration of the Parent’s repurchase right pursuant to §2(h)(ii) above, Holdings will not enter into any agreement, certificate or other document that would expressly prohibit, in whole or in part, the repurchase of the Parent’s shares of Holdings Common Stock pursuant to §2(h)(ii).

(iii) Holdings shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Holdings Common Stock such number of its shares of Holdings Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to enable Holdings to issue to Parent the shares of Holdings Common Stock to which the Parent is entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) The Acquired Asset Entities shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences any Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by:

(A) any Liability of any Acquired Asset Entity that is not an Assumed Liability (including any Liability of any Acquired Asset Entity that becomes a Liability of the Buyer or Holdings under any bulk transfer law of any jurisdiction, under any common law doctrine of de facto merger or successor liability, under Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements, or otherwise by operation of law);

(B) any Liability of any Acquired Asset Entity for unpaid Taxes (other than accrued payroll, property and sales taxes to the extent and only up to the amount, included in the final determination of Actual Working Capital) with respect to any Tax year or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (for purposes of this §8(b)(ii)(B), any Taxes levied with respect to the Acquired Assets for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between the Acquired Asset Entities, on the one hand, and the Buyer and Holdings, on the other, based on the closing of the books and records of the Acquired Asset Entities as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) and any annual property or ad valorem Taxes

shall be apportioned between the Acquired Asset Entities, on the one hand, and the Buyer and Holdings, on the other, based upon the number of days of such period included in the Tax period before (and including) the Closing Date and the number of days of such Tax period after the Closing Date); or

(C) any Liability of any Acquired Asset Entity for the unpaid Taxes of any Person under Reg. §1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of Applicable Law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in §8(f), if the Buyer or Holdings breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Buyer or Holdings has breached) any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement, and, if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to §8(a) above, provided that the Acquired Asset Entities make a written claim for indemnification against the Buyer pursuant to §10(g) below within such survival period, then the Buyer and Holdings will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Acquired Asset Entities and their respective officers, managers, members, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, Affiliates and permitted successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences any Seller Indemnified Party may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences any Seller Indemnified Party may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach); provided that, if on the Closing Date, any Acquired Asset Entity had Knowledge of any such breach (or alleged breach) and proceeded with the Closing, the Buyer and Holdings shall not be liable for any Adverse Consequences relating thereto.

(ii) The Buyer and Holdings shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Acquired Asset Entities may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any Assumed Liability.

(d) Matters Involving Third Parties.

(i) If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this §8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that

the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(iii) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with §8(d)(ii) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(iv) In the event any of the conditions in §8(d)(ii) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this §8.

(e) Determination of Adverse Consequences. All indemnification payments under this §8 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(f) Limitations on Indemnification.

(i) The joint and several obligations of the Acquired Asset Entities under §8(b)(i) are subject to the following limitations:

(A) With respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of any of the representations and warranties of the Acquired Asset Entities contained in this Agreement (other than any breach or alleged breach of §3(j)), the Acquired Asset Entities shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party under §8(b)(i), (x) unless the Adverse Consequences sustained or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to a particular claim (or a series of related claims) exceed $35,000 and (y) until Adverse Consequences incurred or sustained by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceed $1,350,000

in the aggregate, and in the case of clause (y) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified for the full amount of its claims, including the initial $1,350,000 thereof; and

(B) With respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of any of the representations and warranties of the Acquired Asset Entities contained in this Agreement (other than any breach or alleged breach of §3(j)), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover from the Acquired Asset Entities under §8(b)(i) in excess of an amount equal, in the aggregate, to the Cap Amount.

(ii) The joint and several obligations of the Buyer and Holdings pursuant to the provisions of §8(c)(i) are subject to the following limitations:

(A) With respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of any of the representations and warranties of the Buyer or Holdings contained in this Agreement, the Buyer or Holdings shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party under §8(c)(i), (x) unless the Adverse Consequences sustained or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to a particular claim (or a series of related claims) exceed $35,000 and (y) until Adverse Consequences incurred or sustained by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceed $1,350,000 in the aggregate, and in the case of clause (y) the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified for the full amount of its claims, including the initial $1,350,000 thereof; and

(B) the Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover from the Buyer and Holdings under §8(c)(i) in excess of an amount equal, in the aggregate, to the Cap Amount.

(iii) The “Cap Amount” means (A) from the date of this Agreement until (and including) the 18-month anniversary of the closing date (the “18-Month Anniversary”), $25,000,000; and (B) from the 18-Month Anniversary until (and including) the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date, $15,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the 18-Month Anniversary, there are one or more unresolved claims for indemnification in respect of a breach (or alleged breach) of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (other than any breach or alleged breach of §3(j)) in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate, then the Cap Amount set forth in clause (B) shall be increased by the amount of such excess solely with respect to such unresolved claims, up to a maximum of $25,000,000.

(g) Recoupment Under the Escrow Agreement. From and after the Closing (but subject to this §8), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall first be required to seek recovery with respect to any Adverse Consequences any of them may suffer from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If the Escrow Amount is insufficient to pay the entire amount with respect to any Adverse Consequences for which indemnification is sought under §8(b)(i) above, then the Validation Payments and Milestone Payments, to the extent not previously deposited with the Escrow Agent, shall be the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole source of recovery (the aggregate of all such recoveries from all sources not to exceed the Cap Amount).

(h) Right of Setoff. Upon the written agreement of the Parties or the entry of a final, non-appealable order, decree or judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator or arbitrators with respect to a successful claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification against the Acquired Asset Entities pursuant to §8(b) above for any Adverse Consequences suffered by such Buyer Indemnified Party, the Buyer shall provide the Acquired Asset Entities a written demand for payment of such Adverse Consequences (the “Payment Notice”). If within five Business Days following receipt of a Payment Notice, the Acquired Asset Entities do not pay such Buyer Indemnified Party in cash an amount equal to such Adverse Consequences, then the Buyer and Holdings may, upon prior written notice to the Acquired Asset Entities, set off all or a portion of the amount of such Adverse Consequences against any amounts payable by the Buyer or Holdings to any Acquired Asset Entity, including, without limitation, any and all (i) Validation Payments issuable or payable pursuant to §2(c)(ii) above and (ii) Milestone Payments issuable or payable pursuant to §2(c)(iii) above. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that no such payments are due and issuable or payable, as the case may be, then all indemnification payments under this §8 shall be paid in cash.

(i) Sole Remedy. Except for the Parties’ rights under §10(n) hereof, and except to the extent that a claim involves fraud (as determined by a non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or inaccuracy, or alleged breach or inaccuracy, of any representation, warranty or covenant shall be indemnification in accordance with this §8.

(j) Insurance and Tax Benefits.

(i) The amount of any Adverse Consequences payable by a Party hereunder shall be net of any (A) amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies, net of all expenses incurred in prosecuting such insurance claim and (B) Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Adverse Consequences. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to fully utilize, at the highest marginal tax rate then in effect, all Tax items arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Adverse Consequences.

(ii) If any Indemnified Party seeks indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this §8 for Adverse Consequences sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Party with respect to a particular claim (or a series of related claims) in excess of $100,000, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly make and pursue in good faith a claim under any applicable insurance policies to recover such Adverse Consequences. If the Buyer or Holdings pursues an insurance claim and recovers amounts from the insurer in respect of such claim, then the Acquired Asset Entities will reimburse the Buyer and Holdings for any additional insurance premiums resulting directly from such recovery that are incurred by either the Buyer or Holdings (or any Affiliate thereof that owns such policies) over the five policy years following the year in which the recovery was received. The amount for which the Acquired Asset Entities will reimburse the Buyer, Holdings or their Affiliate pursuant to the preceding sentence will be determined by the Buyer in good faith, based upon estimates received from its insurers.
