Section 1.04 Closing Adjustment. Not fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a notice (the “Closing Notice”), which shall include the following:
(a) the Seller’s good faith estimate of (i) the Adjusted Statutory Capital of each RBC Entity as of the Measurement Time, which shall account for the Medical Claims Reserve, and the Accounts Receivable Accrual, and which shall be in the format of the Reference Adjusted Statutory Capital Schedule (collectively, the “Estimated Adjusted Regulatory Capital”), (ii) the Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital of SWH MA as of the Measurement Time, which shall account for the Medical Claims Reserve and the Accounts Receivable Accrual, and which shall be in the format of the Insolvency Protection Reserve Requirement Capital Schedule (the “Estimated Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital”), (iii) the Net Working Capital of each Non-RBC Entity as of the Measurement Time, which shall be in the format of the Reference Net Working Capital Schedule (collectively, “Estimated Net Working Capital”), and (iv) the Net Asset Value as of the Measurement Time, which shall be in the format of the Reference Net Asset Value Schedule (the “Estimated Net Asset Value”);
-2-
(b) the Seller’s good faith estimate of Closing Date Cash (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash”), Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”) and Seller Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”);
(c) the Seller’s determination of the “Closing Adjustment”, which shall be an amount equal to (i) the difference (which may be positive or negative) between Estimated Adjusted Regulatory Capital minus Required Statutory Capital, plus (ii) the difference (which may be positive or negative) between Estimated Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital minus Insolvency Protection Reserve Requirement plus (iii) the difference (which may be positive or negative) between Estimated Net Working Capital minus Target Net Working Capital, plus (iv) the Estimated Net Asset Value (which may be positive or negative), plus (v) the Estimated Closing Date Cash, minus (vi) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, if any, minus (vii) the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, if any;
(d) taking into account the Closing Adjustment (as further described below), the amount to be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller at the Closing (the “Closing Payment”); and
(e) the account or accounts to which the Purchaser shall pay the Closing Payment pursuant to Section 1.06(b)(vi).
The Closing Notice shall be prepared from the books and records of the MCC Business in accordance with the Accounting Principles; provided, however, that the Estimated Adjusted Regulatory Capital shall be prepared in accordance with the Applicable RBC Entity Accounting Principles.
In connection with and to facilitate the review of the Closing Notice, the Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) provide the Purchaser with supporting data reasonably necessary to allow the Purchaser to verify (and propose corrections with respect to, if necessary) calculations set forth in the Closing Notice, (ii) provide to the Purchaser reasonable access to all relevant books and records and personnel of the Seller Parties and (iii) work with the Purchaser in good faith, prior to the Closing, to resolve any disagreements over any items set forth in the Closing Notice, and the items set forth in the Closing Notice shall for all purposes in this Agreement be equal to the amounts initially proposed by the Seller together with any revisions thereto that are mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser prior to the Closing. If there are any disagreements over any items set forth in the Closing Notice that are not resolved by the time of the Closing, then such items shall for all purposes of making payments at Closing be deemed to be equal to the amounts initially proposed by the Seller for each such item, but the consummation of the Closing shall not be deemed to waive the Purchaser’s right to dispute such items from and after the Closing. If the Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then the amount to be paid by the Purchaser as directed by the Seller at the Closing in the Closing Notice shall be equal to the Base Purchase Price plus the Closing Adjustment, minus the Escrow Amount. If the Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then the amount to be paid by the Purchaser as directed by the Seller at the Closing in the Closing Notice shall be equal to the Base Purchase Price minus the absolute value of the Closing Adjustment, minus the Escrow Amount.

(a) The Base Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Transferred Assets and to the Transferred Equity Interests in accordance with Annex B (the “First Level-Allocation”) and shall be adjusted in accordance with the methodology set forth on Annex B for the apportionment of any adjustments to the Base Purchase Price under Section 1.10 (such allocation, as adjusted, the “Adjusted First-Level Allocation”).
(b) Not later than ten (10) days after the final determination of the Final Statement (but in no event later than (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of IRS Forms 8023 with respect to the Transferred Entities in respect of which Section 338(h)(10) Elections as contemplated by Section 7.07(d) shall be made), the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with the Adjusted First-Level Allocation to the SWH Holdings Base Purchase Price (such allocation, the “Adjusted SWH Holdings Allocation”) and the AlphaCare Base Purchase Price (such allocation, the “Adjusted AlphaCare Allocation”) and a further allocation of the remainder of the Adjusted First-Level Allocation (plus the Assumed Liabilities and other relevant amounts to the extent treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (i) among the Transferred Assets, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (ii) among the assets of the Transferred Entities in respect of which Section 338(h)(10) Elections as contemplated by Section 7.07(d) shall be made, in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as applicable) and (iii) among the assets of The Management Group, LLC and MCC of Virginia, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as applicable) (the allocations in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Adjusted Non-SWH Allocation”).

Section 1.08 Post-Closing Statements.
(a) The Purchaser shall prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to the Seller a statement (the “Initial Statement”) of (i) the Adjusted Statutory Capital of each RBC Entity as of the Measurement Time (collectively, “Closing Adjusted Statutory Capital”), which shall be in the format of the Reference Adjusted Statutory Capital Schedule, (ii) the Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital of SWH MA as of the Measurement Time, which shall be in the format of the Insolvency Protection Reserve Requirement Capital Schedule (the “Closing Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital”), (iii) the Net Working Capital of each Non-RBC Entity as of the Measurement Time (collectively, “Closing Net Working Capital”), which shall be in the format of the Reference Net Working Capital Schedule, (iv) the Net Asset Value as of the Measurement Time (the “Closing Net Asset Value”), which shall be in the format of the Reference Net Asset Value Schedule, (v) Closing Date Cash, (vi) Closing Date Indebtedness and (vii) Seller Transaction Expenses. The Purchaser shall deliver the Initial Statement within two hundred ten (210) days after the Closing Date. The Initial Statement shall be prepared from the books and records of the MCC Business in accordance with the Accounting Principles; provided, however, that the Closing Adjusted Statutory Capital shall be prepared in accordance with the Applicable RBC Entity Accounting Principles. The Medical Claims Reserve, Accounts Receivable Accrual and Provider Advances Receivable set forth on the Closing Adjusted Statutory Capital, Closing Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital and Net Asset Value reflected on the Initial Statement will be calculated as follows: (A) the Medical Claims Reserve shall reflect the aggregate dollar amount of (I) the total amount of Medical Claims incurred prior to the Measurement Time which are paid within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Measurement Time, (II) all recoveries and repayments of Medical Claims incurred and paid prior to the Measurement Time which are applied, credited, offset or received within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Measurement Time (including repayments or recoveries received or due for overpayments, from reinsurance and stop-loss coverage, subrogation and coordination of benefits), and (III) a good-faith estimate of all Medical Claims incurred prior to the Measurement Time which have not been paid within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Measurement Time; (B) the Accounts Receivable Accrual of the RBC Entities and SWH MA shall reflect the aggregate dollar amount of (I) the total amount of premium capitation for services performed by the RBC Entities and SWH MA with respect to the period of time prior to the Measurement Time that are received by the RBC Entities and SWH MA after the Measurement Time and within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Measurement Time, and (II) a good-faith estimate of all premium capitation for services performed by the RBC Entities and SWH MA with respect to the period of time prior to the Measurement Time which have not been received by the RBC Entities and SWH MA within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Measurement Time; and (C) the Provider Advances
-6-
Receivable shall reflect the aggregate dollar amount of all Provider Advances outstanding as of the Measurement Time that are repaid before the Purchaser delivers the Initial Statement. The Purchaser shall act in good faith and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure the collection, recovery or receipt of any amounts due and owing to the MCC Business that are reflected on the Initial Statement, in each case, in a manner consistent with the Purchaser’s policies and procedures applicable to its other businesses in effect following the Closing. The Seller will, and to the extent applicable, will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its accountants, to make available to the Purchaser such information, books and records, work papers and, upon reasonable notice, employees responsible for and knowledgeable about any such information, books and records or work papers of the Seller and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities), in each case as may be reasonably required or useful for the Purchaser to prepare the Initial Statement.
(b) During the sixty (60)-day period immediately following the Seller’s receipt of the Initial Statement (the “Review Period”), the Seller and its Representatives will, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, be permitted to review the Purchaser’s work papers, and all books and records of the Purchaser and its Affiliates reasonably necessary for the Seller’s review of the Initial Statement and the Purchaser will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to allow the Seller and its Representatives, to the extent applicable, to review the work papers of the Purchaser’s accountants related to the preparation of the Initial Statement, and the Purchaser shall make reasonably available the individuals in its employ (and subject to Section 1.08(e) will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make available its accountant’s employees) responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in the preparation of the Initial Statement to respond to the reasonable inquiries of the Seller.
(c) The Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Final Statement becomes final and binding in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it will not take any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications and estimation methodologies on which the Initial Statement is based or on which the Final Statement is to be based that are materially inconsistent with the past practice of the Purchaser or that would materially impede or materially delay the preparation of the Notice of Disagreement or the Final Statement unless required by Applicable Law. Regardless of any such actions, the Purchaser shall ensure that the calculation of the components comprising the Final Statement shall be made in a manner and utilizing the methods required by this Agreement. The restrictions set forth in this Section 1.08(c) shall apply solely for purposes of determining the Final Statement and shall not restrict any act of the Purchaser with respect to any accounting books, records, methods, policies, principles procedures practices, classifications and estimates methodologies for any other purpose, either before or after the Final Statement becomes final and binding.
(d) The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that the sole purpose of the determination of the components of the Final Statement is to adjust the Closing Payment so as to reflect the final calculations of the Closing Adjusted Statutory Capital, Closing Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital, Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Net Asset Value, Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses as compared to the estimates thereof set forth in the Closing Notice, and not to dispute the appropriateness of the Reference Adjusted Statutory Capital Schedule, the Insolvency Protection Reserve Requirement Capital Schedule, the Reference Net Working Capital Schedule, the Reference Net Asset Value Schedule,
-7-
the Accounting Principles or the Applicable RBC Entity Accounting Principles, or any components thereof.
(e) The accountants of the Seller or the Purchaser shall not be obliged to make any work papers or the individuals in their employ available to the other Party as provided in this Section 1.08 except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Party has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.
Section 1.09 Reconciliation of Post-Closing Statements.
(a) The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period if the Seller disagrees with the Initial Statement (or any amounts set forth therein). The Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and the Seller’s determination of the disputed amounts. Any items not included in the Notice of Disagreement shall be considered final and binding. If the Seller does not deliver a Notice of Disagreement prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Initial Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Statement.
(b) During the thirty (30) day period immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Consultation Period”), the Seller and the Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If the Seller and the Purchaser are able to resolve their differences, then the Initial Statement, as modified by agreement of the Seller and the Purchaser, shall be deemed to be the Final Statement.
(c) If, at the end of the Consultation Period, the Seller and the Purchaser have been unable to resolve all differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall each have the right to submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement (along with a copy of the Initial Statement marked to indicate those line items that are not in dispute) to the New York office of KPMG or such other certified public accounting firm in the United States of international recognition reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser and agreed to by them in writing (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Seller and the Purchaser shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to make a final determination as promptly as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after its engagement, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items in the Initial Statement as to which the Seller and the Purchaser disagree as set out in the Notice of Disagreement. In making its determination pursuant to this Section 1.09(c), the Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and shall base its determination solely on written presentations, only to the extent consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, of the Seller and the Purchaser and not by independent review. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Seller’s and the Purchaser’s respective calculations that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Seller and the Purchaser have been unable to agree. Such determination shall be final and binding on the parties absent manifest mathematical error. A copy of all materials submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be provided by the Seller
-8-
or the Purchaser, as applicable, to the other party concurrently with the submission thereof to the Independent Accounting Firm. In resolving each disputed line item, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, shall select either the position of the Purchaser or the Seller and may not impose an alternative resolution with respect to any item or amount disputed.
(d) The statement of Closing Adjusted Statutory Capital, Closing Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital, Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Net Asset Value, Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses that is final and binding on the parties, as determined either through agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 1.09(a) or Section 1.09(b) or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 1.09(c), is referred to as the “Final Statement”.
(e) The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and determination shall be allocated to and borne by the Purchaser and the Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and the Independent Accounting Firm awards Six Hundred Dollars ($600) in favor of the Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by the Purchaser and forty percent (40%) would be borne by the Seller. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, the Purchaser and the Seller and their accountants will each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such individuals, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations as described in Section 1.09(c); provided, however, that the accountants of the Seller or the Purchaser shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.
Section 1.10 Post-Closing Adjustment.
(a) If the sum of (i) the difference between the Closing Adjusted Statutory Capital set forth in the Final Statement minus the amount of Estimated Adjusted Regulatory Capital, plus (ii) the difference between the Closing Insolvency Protection Reserve Capital set forth in the Final Statement minus the amount of Estimated Insolvency Regulatory Reserve Requirement, plus (iii) the difference between the Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Statement minus the amount of Estimated Net Working Capital, plus (iv) the difference between the Closing Net Asset Value set forth in the Final Statement minus the amount of Estimated Net Asset Value, plus (v) the difference between the Closing Date Cash set forth in the Final Statement minus the amount of Estimated Closing Date Cash, plus (vi) the difference between the amount of Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness minus the Closing Date Indebtedness set forth in the Final Statement, plus (vii) the difference between the amount of Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses minus the Seller Transaction Expenses set forth in the Final Statement equals (A) a positive amount, then the Purchaser shall pay such amount in cash to the Seller, or (B) a negative amount, then the Seller shall pay the absolute value of such amount in cash to the
-9-
Purchaser (such amount, if any, that either the Purchaser is obligated to pay to the Seller, or the Seller is obligated to pay to the Purchaser, being herein referred to as the “Post-Closing Adjustment”) or, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the Purchaser may satisfy such amounts from the Escrow Funds. Payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Final Statement becomes such.
(b) In the event that, following determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) actually collect any portion of the Provider Advances Receivable that was not included in the calculation of Closing Net Asset Value, the Purchaser shall promptly remit such payment to the Seller.
Section 1.11 Payments and Computations. Except for the payment of the Closing Payment (which shall be paid at the Closing), each of the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall make each payment due to the party hereto not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day when due as required by the terms of this Agreement. All payments (including the Closing Payment) shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in advance by the party receiving such payment. Any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the 3-month SOFR as of the date such payment was due, taken from a widely accepted source of published interest rates, plus 8.0% (“Late Payment Interest”). All computations of Late Payment Interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case, for the actual number of days (including the first due day but excluding the day of payment) occurring in the period for which such Late Payment Interest is payable. Whenever any payment under this Agreement shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in the computation of, and payment of, Late Payment Interest.
Section 1.12 Withholding. All payments under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Law. If any Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment to any Person, then the Person required to make such deduction or withholding shall be entitled to do so and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with Law; provided, however, that the Party required to make such deduction or withholding shall provide each other Party that is subject to such deduction or withholding with a written notice of its intention to deduct or withhold at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such deduction or withholding and each of the applicable Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate to minimize or eliminate any such withholding obligation. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and actually remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld and remitted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Section 2.03, and except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, Non-MCC Entities shall not, and shall not be deemed to, assign to the Purchaser, and the Assumed Liabilities shall not, and shall not be deemed to, include any of the following Liabilities of the Non-MCC Entities, whether presently in existence or arising after the date of this Agreement and, in each case, except as explicitly set forth herein, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date (all such Liabilities, the “Excluded Liabilities”):
(a) all Liabilities to the extent relating to, or arising from, any Excluded Assets;
(b) all Liabilities to the extent arising under or related to any Indebtedness of the Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness included in the Closing Date Indebtedness);
(c) all Seller Transaction Expenses;
(d) except as described in Section 2.03, any Liabilities of the Non-MCC Entities and their respective Representatives;
(e) all Liabilities for Taxes imposed with respect to the Transferred Assets for Pre-Closing Tax Periods determined, in the case of a Straddle Period, in accordance with Section 7.02(c);
(f) all Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by the Seller in Article VIII; and
(g) all Liabilities listed on Section 2.04 of the Seller Disclosure Letter.
Section 2.05 Assignment of Certain Transferred Assets.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, convey, assign, transfer or deliver to the Purchaser any Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof, or an agreement to do any of the foregoing, without the consent, authorization or approval of a third party (including any Governmental Entity), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law (any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit, a “Non-Assignable Asset”). From the date hereof until the Closing, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any such consent, authorization or approval or any other consent, authorization or approval necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third parties (other than with respect to Governmental Entities which are addressed under Section 4.04) in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (and in any event, prior to the Closing), and the Purchaser shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the Seller to obtain any such consent, authorization or approval; provided, however, that in no event shall either Party or any of their respective Affiliates be (i) required to pay any material cost or expense or (ii) obligated
-16-
to initiate any Proceedings in connection with obtaining any such consent, authorization or approval.
(b) If, on the Closing Date, any such consent, authorization or approval is not obtained (or any such consent, authorization or approval that was obtained prior to the Closing is no longer in full force and effect), or if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit would constitute a breach or other contravention or a violation of Law, then (i) such Non-Assignable Asset shall not be Transferred to the Purchaser at the Closing, (ii) subject to the immediately following clause (iii), the Purchaser shall not be obligated to assume, discharge or perform any Liability under or with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset, and (iii) the Seller and the Purchaser will cooperate and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a mutually acceptable arrangement under which the Purchaser would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits of, and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, such Non-Assignable Asset in accordance with this Agreement at a cost to the Purchaser, not in excess of the cost the Purchaser would have incurred if the requisite consent, authorization or approval had been obtained prior to the Closing, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Purchaser, or under which the Seller would (A) enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of the Purchaser and the Transferred Entities any and all of its or their rights against a third party (including any Governmental Entity) associated with such Non-Assignable Asset, and (B) promptly pay to the Purchaser (and/or its Affiliates), when received, all monies received by it or them under any such Non-Assignable Asset (net of any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it or them pursuant to clause (A) of this sentence), and the Purchaser and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries would assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated therewith.
(c) After the Closing, each of the Purchaser and the Seller will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly obtain all consents, authorizations or approvals that have not been obtained prior to the Closing which are necessary for the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any Non-Assignable Asset to the Purchaser, and the Seller shall provide or cause to be provided all commercially reasonable assistance requested by the Purchaser in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that in no event shall either Party or any of their respective Affiliates be (i) required to pay any material cost or expense or (ii) obligated to initiate any Proceedings in connection with obtaining any such consent, authorization or approval. If all required consents, authorizations or approvals with respect to any Non-Assignable Asset are obtained after the Closing Date, then, subject to any restrictions under applicable Law, on the date the last such consent, authorization or approval is obtained (the “Consent Achievement Date”): (i) such Non-Assignable Asset shall be deemed to have been Transferred to the Purchaser, and (ii) with respect to a Non-Assignable Asset that would have been a Transferred Contract or a Transferred Lease had such consents, authorizations or approvals been obtained prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall assume as of the Consent Achievement Date and agree to discharge and perform as and when due, the ongoing obligations of the Seller under such Contract, in each case in such manner consistent with Section 2.01. The obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and the first sentence of this Section 2.05(c) shall terminate with respect to a particular Non-Assignable Asset upon the earlier of (A) the Consent Achievement Date (in which event the applicable Non-Assignable Asset shall be sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred or delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) and (B) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date.
-17-
(d) To the extent that any Leases or Contracts to which any Non-MCC Entity is a party (i) exclusively relate to the MCC Business but are not listed on Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter or (ii) do not exclusively relate to the MCC Business but are listed on Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, promptly upon discovery of any such Lease or Contract, as applicable, the discovering party shall notify the other party and promptly thereafter shall assign, or cause its applicable Subsidiary to assign such Lease or Contract, as applicable, to the other party.
Section 2.06 Indemnification.
(a) Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date whereupon they shall expire, and all claims for breach of said representations and warranties will be deemed waived; provided, that, the Fundamental Representations and any representation in the case of Fraud shall survive for the full period of the applicable statute of limitations plus sixty (60) days. All covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed prior to the Closing shall survive until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing and any covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms. References in this Section 2.06 to the “statute of limitations” shall refer to the statute of limitations applicable to the particular matter that gave rise to a breach of the representation or warranty in question, and not to the statute of limitations applicable to a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if written notice of a claim has been given pursuant to Section 2.06(e) prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period with respect to the applicable representations, warranties, covenants or agreements by the Party seeking indemnification for such claim, then such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements shall survive as to such claim until such claim has finally resolved pursuant to this Section 2.06. The Parties specifically and unambiguously intend that the survival periods that are set forth in this Section 2.06 shall replace any statute of limitations that would otherwise be applicable.
(b) Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to the limitations in this Section 2.06, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, its Subsidiaries and its Representatives (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party if and to the extent such Losses are suffered or incurred as a result of any of the following:
(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Seller when made or deemed to be made under the terms hereof (unless specifically provided otherwise);
(ii) the breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Seller or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities prior to the Closing) under this Agreement, other than the covenants and agreements under Section 7.10, which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 7.10;
(iii) any and all D&O Costs of any director, officer, manager or general or limited partner of any Transferred Entity relating to any threatened, pending or completed action,
-18-
suit or Proceeding that is not primarily related to the MCC Business solely to the extent not covered by the prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy contemplated by Section 4.07(d);
(iv) any Indebtedness of the Transferred Entities which is outstanding as of the Closing and which is not accounted for in the Post-Closing Adjustment;
(v) any Seller Transaction Expenses which are outstanding as of the Closing and which are not accounted for in the Post-Closing Adjustment;
(vi) the Excluded Liabilities;
(vii) the failure by the Seller to pay Transfer Taxes to the extent provided in Section 7.08; and
(viii) the matters set forth on Section 2.06(b)(viii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.
(c) Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the limitations in this Section 2.06, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall defend and hold harmless the Seller, its Subsidiaries and its Representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by such Seller Indemnified Party if and to the extent such Losses are suffered or incurred as a result of any of the following:
(i) The breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser when made or deemed to be made under the terms hereof (unless specifically provided otherwise);
(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser or the Transferred Entities contained in this Agreement;
(iii) except to the extent subject to indemnification by the Seller or adjustment in relation to the determination of the Closing Net Asset Value, the Assumed Liabilities and any Liabilities of any of the Transferred Entities; and
(iv) the failure by the Purchaser to pay or reimburse Taxes to the extent provided in Section 7.02(a), Section 7.02(d), Section 7.06 and Section 7.08.
(d) Certain Limitations and Recourse.
(i) The Seller shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 2.06(b)(i) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification thereunder exceeds Three Million One Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,187,500) (the “Basket”), in which event the Seller shall be liable for all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 2.06(b)(i) in excess of the Basket up to the Escrow Amount.
-19-
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the sole and exclusive source of payment for Losses resulting or arising from claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) for breaches of representations and warranties (other than Fundamental Representations) will be sought only from the following sources and only in the following sequence: (A) first, from the Escrow Funds, (B) second, after such Escrow Funds have been entirely depleted or disbursed, from the R&W Policy to the full extent of coverage available therefor under the R&W Policy and (C) third, after the full extent of coverage available under the R&W Policy has been depleted or disbursed, the Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such Losses.
(iii) To the extent a Loss arises from actual Fraud, a breach of a Fundamental Representation or a breach of a covenant, then the Purchaser may seek the amount of such Loss directly from the Seller subject to the other limitations set forth in this Agreement.
(iv) To the extent a Loss arises from a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.01(h), notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser may seek the amount of such Loss (A) first, from the Escrow Funds without regard to the Basket, and (B) second, after such Escrow Funds have been entirely depleted or disbursed, from the R&W Policy to the full extent of coverage available therefor under the R&W Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, following exhaustion of the Escrow Funds, the Seller shall have no further liability for breaches of representations or warranties contained in Section 3.01(h); provided, that, nothing in this paragraph shall limit the Seller’s obligation to satisfy indemnification obligations under Section 7.10 notwithstanding that an indemnification claim thereunder could have been satisfied through a claim for a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.01(h).
(e) Notice and Defense of Claims. All claims for indemnification under this Section 2.06 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
(i) If a Third-Party Claim is asserted against the Seller Indemnified Parties that is covered by Section 2.06(b) or against the Purchaser Indemnified Parties that is covered by Section 2.06(c) (such Party entitled to indemnification with respect to the Third-Party Claims, the “Indemnified Parties” and each an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party will promptly give notice describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable (such Party required to provide indemnification, the “Indemnifying Party”) of such Third-Party Claim. Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim to the extent that: (i) the principal relief sought by such Third-Party Claim is an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party (and solely to the extent the Third-Party Claim relates to such injunction or equitable relief); or (ii) involves, or could otherwise reasonably be expected to affect any material business relationship of a then-current customer of either the Seller or the Purchaser. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within (30) days after its receipt of a Claim Notice that it will conduct and control the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third-Party Claim and any Action resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third-Party Defense”). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the Third-Party Defense in accordance herewith: (A) the Indemnified
-20-
Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (as to which the Indemnified Party will not be entitled to indemnification, unless (1) the named parties to such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would not be permitted under applicable standards of professional conduct or such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to such Indemnifying Party, or if available to such Indemnifying Party, the assertion of which would be adverse to or in conflict with the interests of the Indemnified Party, or (2) if so requested to participate by Indemnifying Party, and then in each such case the reasonable expense of one separate counsel for Indemnified Party shall be paid by Indemnifying Party, in which case, the fees, costs and expenses of such counsel shall be indemnifiable amounts hereunder) and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (B) the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; and (C) the Indemnifying Party shall be required to keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of any and all matters related to such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the Third-Party Defense within such thirty (30) day period, or the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the Third-Party Defense in accordance herewith, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to conduct and control the Third-Party Defense, and such fees and costs shall be indemnifiable Losses hereunder; provided, however, that (W) the Indemnifying Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim but the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement, subject to the provisions herein; and (X) the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.06(e)(i) to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (Y) settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or (Z) permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.06(e) shall not apply to any Third-Party Claim related to Taxes.
(ii) Non-Third Party Claims. In the event the Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification hereunder that does not involve a claim being asserted against or sought to be collected by a Third Party (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly send a Claim Notice with respect to such Direct Claims to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9.03. Each such Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of such Direct Claim, shall reference the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the Direct Claim is asserted and, if applicable, the applicable sections of this Agreement which are alleged to have been breached by the Indemnifying Party and, to the extent reasonably estimable, shall set forth the estimated Losses sought in such Direct Claim.
(iii) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice for a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date the Indemnifying Party receives the Claim Notice in accordance with Section 2.06(e)(ii) to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by providing such information and assistance (including reasonable access to premises and personnel of the
-21-
Indemnified Party and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond to the Indemnified Party in writing within such thirty (30) day period that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Direct Claim, the amount of such Direct Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In case the Indemnifying Party shall timely object in writing to any Direct Claim made in accordance with Section 2.06(e)(ii), the Indemnified Party shall have fifteen (15) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party. If after such fifteen (15) day period there remains a dispute as to any Direct Claim, the Parties shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to such Direct Claim. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties. If the Parties do not so agree, the conflict shall be subject to resolution in accordance with Section 9.08.
(iv) Notice of Claims. The Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any actual, threatened or possible claim or demand that may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party unless the failure to give such written notice actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party or such notice was given after the expiration of the applicable survival period under Section 2.06(a).
(f) Additional Limitations on Liability.
(i) The Seller’s aggregate Liability under Section 2.06(b) shall not exceed the Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller’s aggregate Liability under Section 2.06(b)(i) (except for breaches of Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed the Escrow Amount.
(ii) The limitations contained in this Section 2.06(f) shall in no way limit the amounts the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may recover directly under the R&W Policy from the underwriter(s) of the R&W Policy.
(iii) After the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of which an indemnification claim is properly made thereunder exceeds an amount equal to the Basket plus the Escrow Amount, the Purchaser shall have no further claim for indemnification against the Seller under Section 2.06(b)(i) other than in respect of a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation by the Seller.
(iv) After the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of which an indemnification claim is properly made thereunder exceeds an amount equal to the Escrow Amount, prior to a Purchaser Indemnified Party making a claim for indemnification from the Seller under Section 2.06(b)(ii) – (b)(viii), the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek recovery, at its or their own expense, under all applicable insurance policies, including the R&W Policy, to the extent coverage for such matters exists on the face of the applicable insurance policy, and indemnification or reimbursement rights covering any such claim; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to, and it shall not be required to cause any Transferred Entity to, initiate or pursue any legal action to make any such recovery; provided, further, that in no event shall the Purchaser’s obligations under
-22-
this sentence act as a bar to bringing an indemnification claim against the Seller. To the extent that the Purchaser or any Transferred Entity receives any amount under insurance coverage or other recovery with respect to a matter for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party has previously obtained payment in indemnification, the Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such insurance proceeds or other recovery, pay and reimburse the Seller, for any prior indemnification payment up to the amount of the insurance proceeds or other recovery, but less (A) the cost and expense of pursuing such recovery, (B) any deductible associated therewith and (C) the amount of any retro-premium obligations and reasonably anticipated premium increases resulting from such recovery (other than premiums under the R&W Policy). For purposes of this Section 2.06(f), the term insurance proceeds shall in all respects include the proceeds received under or pursuant to the R&W Policy.
(v) The indemnification rights provided in this Section 2.06 constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties following the Closing and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Losses alleged to be suffered by any Party as a result of the actions or failure to act by any Party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than (A) claims based on Fraud, (B) the remedy of specific performance or other equitable remedies provided by Section 9.10 with respect to any covenant or agreement that survives the Closing in accordance with Section 2.06(a) or (C) as provided by Section 1.10 or Section 7.10. The Seller has specifically relied upon the limited remedies provided in this Section 2.06 in agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth herein.
(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Parties shall be liable to any Indemnified Party (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) for any punitive or exemplary damages that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions or failure to act by any Party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(vii) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Losses to the extent such Losses are accrued or otherwise reflected in the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 1.10.
(viii) Any Losses indemnifiable under Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.06(c) shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.
(g) Fraud. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 2.06 shall preclude any Party from making a claim for Fraud against a Party that committed such Fraud or relieve any Party from any Liability for Fraud committed by such Party.
-23-
(h) Mitigation. Each of the Parties agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses indemnifiable under this Section 2.06, including pursuing recovery for Losses under the R&W Policy.
(i) Subrogation. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses or Taxes indemnified by such party provided that such subrogation could not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the operations, affairs, customer or supplier relationships or prospects of the MCC Business; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party’s right to subrogation with respect to insurance carriers shall not be subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence; provided, further, that an Indemnified Party’s right to subrogation shall at all times be limited by the terms of the R&W Policy to the extent the R&W Policy specifically limits or restricts such right.
(j) Right of Offset. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, from and after the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser may at any time withhold and set off against amounts otherwise payable by the Seller or the Purchaser, respectively, under the Transition Services Agreement or the Commercial Agreements any amounts finally determined in accordance herewith (either by the written agreement of the Purchaser and the Seller or by a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.08) to be payable by the Purchaser to the Seller Indemnified Parties or by the Seller to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, respectively, pursuant to any section of this Section 2.06.
(k) Materiality; Net Losses; No Contributions.
(i) For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses incurred by a Party seeking indemnification hereunder arising out of or resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty contained herein, the representations and warranties herein shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect”. For purposes of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty contained herein has occurred, following the Purchaser Indemnified Parties suffering Losses which equal or exceed the Basket and the Escrow Funds, but not prior thereto, the representations and warranties contained herein (other than the Fundamental Representations) shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect”.
(ii) The Seller waives, and acknowledges and agrees that the Seller shall not in its capacity as an equityholder exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against any Transferred Entity in connection with any indemnification or other rights any Party may have under or in connection with this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Seller. Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to the Purchaser by the
-24-
Seller at the time of entering into this Agreement (the “Seller Disclosure Letter”) (it being understood that any disclosure set forth in one section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to, and shall be deemed to apply to and qualify, the section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other section or subsection of this Agreement to the extent the qualifying nature of such disclosure with respect to such other section or subsection is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure), the Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as set forth below. For purposes of this Article III, any reference to the MCC Business shall include the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities.
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Seller Parties and Transferred Entities is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign legal entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Seller has made available to the Purchaser complete and correct copies of its Organizational Documents of the Seller and each Transferred Entities as amended and as in effect on the date of this Agreement. The Seller is not in violation of its Organizational Documents in any material respect.
(b) Capital Structure. Section 3.01(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth each of the Transferred Entities, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and the Persons owning the Transferred Equity Interests. All of the Transferred Equity Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights. The Transferred Equity Interests represent all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Transferred Entities. The owners, beneficially and of record, of all of the Transferred Equity Interests are as shown on Section 3.01(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and such owners hold such Transferred Equity Interests free and clear of all Liens, except any Lien arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or pursuant to Federal or State securities Laws. There are no options, warrants or rights of conversion or other similar rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments obligating any Transferred Entity to issue or sell any shares of its capital stock, other equity interests or securities convertible into or exchangeable for its shares or other equity interests, other than as provided in this Agreement. There are no voting trusts, stockholder agreements, proxies or other agreements in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of the Transferred Equity Interests, other than as provided for in this Agreement.
(c) Corporate Authority; Approval. The Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Seller and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

-25-
and perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.
(d) Governmental Filings; No Violations.
(i) Other than the necessary filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods or authorizations (A) required under the HSR Act, (B) required under any Health Regulatory Laws and set forth on Section 3.01(d)(i)(B) of the Seller Disclosure Letter or (C) required under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, no filings, notices and/or reports are required to be made by the Seller Parties or the Transferred Entities with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods or authorizations required to be obtained by the Seller Parties or the Transferred Entities from, any Governmental Entity pursuant to any Law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the execution and delivery of the Ancillary Agreements), except, in each case, those that the failure to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents or the comparable governing instruments of any Transferred Entity, (B) with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, a breach or violation of, a default or termination or modification (or right of termination or modification) under, payment of additional fees under, the creation or acceleration of any rights or obligations under, the trigger of any consent or notice requirement under, or the creation of a Lien on any of the Transferred Assets, or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) the filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations referred to in Section 3.02(c) are made or obtained under any Law, Order or License to which the Seller Parties or any of the Transferred Entities are subject or (C) any change in the rights or obligations under any Material Contract or Material Health Care Provider Contract, except, in the case of clauses (B) and (C) above, for any such breach, violation, default, termination, modification, payment, acceleration, creation or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.02 Access; Consultation.

-51-
further, that the foregoing shall not require the Seller to permit any invasive environmental sampling or any inspection or to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), to the extent that (i) in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Seller, any applicable Law requires the Seller or its Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, (ii) in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Seller, the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; and provided, further that with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.02(a), the Seller shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (A) obtain the required consent of any such third party to provide such inspection or disclosure, (B) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser and (C) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the other party. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) shall be directed to an executive officer of the Seller or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.
(b) The Seller, as it deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to the Purchaser or its Representatives as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and shall be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreements. To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. Prior to the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall identify to the Purchaser any actions or practices of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that could require remediation under applicable Law and, to the extent identified, shall, subject to the Purchaser’s prior written consent, take commercially reasonable actions or practices and other customary actions to reduce the risks related to such actions where the failure to remediate would reasonably be likely to result in substantial fines or penalties.
(c) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall give prompt notice to one another of any change, effect, circumstance or development that would reasonably be likely to result in a
-52-
Material Adverse Effect or Purchaser Material Adverse Effect (as applicable), or of any reasonably likely failure of any condition to the Purchaser’s or the Seller’s obligations to effect the Closing (as applicable).
Section 4.03 Post-Closing Access to Information. Subject to Section 7.03(a), for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, each of the Parties shall give the other and the other’s Affiliates and its and their Representatives access to the Books and Records and the books and records of the Transferred Entities (collectively, the “Accessible Information”) transferred to the Purchaser or retained by the Seller, as applicable (even if any Accessible Information is or becomes commingled with books and records of the Purchaser or the Seller and their respective Affiliates), and the properties, personnel and Representatives of each Party, as may be reasonably required by the requesting Party or such Party’s Affiliates, including to the extent necessary for the preparation of financial statements or regulatory filings in respect of periods ending on or prior to the Closing, or in connection with any insurance claims, Proceedings or any obligations under this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. At the requesting Party’s cost and expense, the requesting Party and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives shall be entitled to make copies of any Accessible Information to which such Persons are entitled to access pursuant to this Section 4.03. Any such access shall be conducted during regular business hours upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances, and shall be subject to restrictions under Law and any confidentiality obligations to which the Parties are bound. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.03(a), each Party shall preserve and keep the Accessible Information held by such Party or any of its Affiliates for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, (i) keep all information accessed pursuant to this Section 4.03 confidential, (ii) not publicly disclose such information to any other Person (except where such disclosure, upon the advice of outside counsel, is required by Law and only to the extent required by applicable Law); provided, that, each Party or its Affiliates may disclose such information to its Representatives or other Persons that have a duty of confidentiality (or similar duty or obligation of non-disclosure) to such disclosing Party, and (iii) not use such information other than for the express purposes set forth in this Section 4.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise provided in Section 7.03(a), any and all such Accessible Information may be destroyed by the Parties after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date (or such later date as required by applicable Law).

None of the Parties, including their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, shall knowingly take, cause or permit to be taken, or omit to take, any action which such Party reasonably expects is likely to materially delay or prevent consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. None of the Parties, without the other Party’s prior written consent, shall (i) enter into any timing, settlement or similar agreement, or otherwise agree or commit to any arrangement, that would have the effect of extending, suspending, lengthening or otherwise tolling the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby under the HSR Act or any Antitrust Laws, or (ii) enter into any timing or similar agreement, or otherwise agree or commit to any arrangement, that would bind or commit the Parties not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (or that would otherwise prevent or prohibit the Parties from consummating such contemplated transactions).
(c) To the extent permitted by Law, the Purchaser and the Seller shall, as promptly as practicable, (i) upon any reasonable request from a Governmental Entity, furnish to such Governmental Entity, any information or documentation concerning themselves, their Affiliates, directors, officers and shareholders or stockholders, as applicable, information or documentation concerning the transactions contemplated hereby and such other matters as may be
-54-
requested and (ii) make available their respective Representatives to any Governmental Entity, in connection with (A) the preparation of any filing made by or on their behalf to any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) any Governmental Entity investigation, review or approval process.
(d) The Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate with respect to the Antitrust Laws and Health Regulatory Laws related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall have joint decision making authority with respect to the appropriate course of action with respect to obtaining the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the Closing prior to the Termination Date; provided, that, the Purchaser shall have principal responsibility for directing, devising, and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary approval of, for responding to any request from, inquiry by, or investigation by (including directing the timing, nature, and substance of all such responses), and for leading all meetings and communications with any Governmental Entity. No Party hereto or its counsel shall independently participate in any substantive call or meeting relating to the Antitrust Laws or Health Regulatory Laws with any Governmental Entity in respect of such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without first giving the other Party or its counsel prior notice of such call or meeting and the opportunity to attend and participate, in each case, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity or applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by any Governmental Entity or applicable Law, each Party shall, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) notify the other, as far in advance as practicable, of any filing or material or substantive communication or inquiry it or any of its Subsidiaries intends to make with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Section 4.04, (ii) prior to submitting any such filing or making any such communication or inquiry, provide the other Party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review, and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other Party in connection with, any such filing, communication or inquiry, (iii) promptly following the submission of such filing or making such communication or inquiry, provide the other Party with a copy of any such filing or, if in written form, communication or inquiry and (iv) consult with the other Party in connection with any inquiry, hearing, investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity relating to this Agreement, including the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meetings with any Governmental Entity relating thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials provided pursuant to this Section 4.04 may be reasonably redacted as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns. Further, each Party may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 4.04 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the other Party, and each Party shall cause their outside counsel not to disclose such materials or information to any employees, officers, directors or other representatives of, respectively, the Seller or the Purchaser, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the other Party.
(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 4.04, each of the parties, including their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, hereto shall use its best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity in connection with the HSR Act, any other applicable Antitrust Laws or Health Regulatory Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to avoid the
-55-
entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the purposes of this Section 4.04, “best efforts” shall include taking any and all actions (such actions, the “Regulatory Actions”) necessary to obtain the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as possible, and in no event later than the Termination Date, including (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, effecting and agreeing to, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, hold separate, and other disposition of businesses, assets, products or equity interests, (ii) creating, terminating, or amending any existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations and (iii) otherwise taking or committing to any action that would limit the freedom of action with respect to the operation of, or ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, products or equity interests; provided, that, such Regulatory Actions are conditioned upon and become effective only from and after the Closing; provided, further, that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to take or agree to offer or take, and the Seller shall not take or agree or offer to take, any Regulatory Action that, individually or in the aggregate, would (A) require the sale, divestiture, license, hold separate, or other disposition of the businesses, assets, products or equity interests of the MCC Business, to the extent such action would have resulted in more than a 15% reduction in the MCC Business’ revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, or (B) (1) require the sale, divestiture, license, hold separate, or other disposition of the businesses, assets, products or equity interests of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, now owned or hereafter acquired (not including any businesses, assets, products or equity interests of the MCC Business) or (2) otherwise result in a change or impairment to the Purchaser’s business to the extent, in the case of (1) or (2), any such action would be more than de minimis in nature to the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Purchaser will be required to take and/or agree to any Regulatory Actions with respect to the maintenance or increase of capital or reserves at any of the Transferred Entities (including any related restrictions on declaring dividends and/or making distributions) at or following the Closing without regard to the dollar limitation set forth in the preceding sentence.
(f) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in this Section 4.04, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law or Health Regulatory Laws, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall use best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Closing.
(g) Information. The Seller and the Purchaser each shall, upon request by the other, promptly furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
-56-
(h) Status. The Seller and the Purchaser each shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any third party or any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than immaterial communications.
Section 4.05 Publicity. The Seller and the Purchaser shall consult with each other prior to issuing or making, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment on, any press releases or other public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any filings with any third party or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto and none of the Parties or their Affiliates shall issue any such press release or public announcement prior to obtaining the other Parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no such consent for any press release, public announcement or filing shall be required to the extent (i) required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or the NASDAQ or NYSE national securities exchange or (ii) such press release or public statement in the good faith judgment of the applicable Party is consistent with prior press releases issued or public statements made in compliance with this Section 4.05.
Section 4.06 Expenses. Except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, including Article VI, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs or expenses, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement, (i) the Seller and the Purchaser shall each be responsible for, and pay, fifty percent (50%) of the fees incurred in connection with the filings required under the HSR Act, and (ii) the Purchaser will be responsible for, and pay, one hundred percent (100%) of the fees incurred in connection with the filings required under the Health Regulatory Laws.
Section 4.07 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
(a) From and after the Closing Date until six (6) years from the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall or shall cause each Transferred Entity to indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted under Law, the individuals or entities who on or prior to the Closing Date were directors, officers, managers or general or limited partners of any Transferred Entities with respect to all D&O Expenses and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, Taxes, interest, fines, judgements or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “D&O Costs”) related to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding arising out of any acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such or taken at the request of such Transferred Entity at any time on or prior to the Closing Date against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) by such individual or entity in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or participate in any such action, suit or proceeding (collectively, “D&O Expenses”). In addition, the Purchaser shall or shall cause each Transferred Entity to pay or reimburse any D&O Expenses of any officers, directors or general or limited partners entitled to indemnification hereunder in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the
-57-
person or entity to whom D&O Expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances to the extent required by applicable Law.
(b) The Organizational Documents of each of the Transferred Entities shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals or entities who at or at any time prior to the Closing Date were directors, officers, managers, general or limited partners, agents or employees of such Transferred Entity or otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to applicable Law or such Transferred Entity’s Organizational Documents.
(c) The provisions of this Section 4.07 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.07, his, her, or its heirs or successors in interest (as applicable) and his, her or its Representatives (as applicable) and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.
(d) Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall purchase and maintain in effect beginning at the Closing Date and pay for a period of six (6) years thereafter without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by any Transferred Entity’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing Date with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date. Such policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Transferred Entities’ current director’s and officer’s liability insurance policies.
Section 4.08 Seller Names and Marks.
(a) Except as set forth in this Section 4.08, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall not use, or permit any of its Affiliates to use, any of the Seller Names and Marks in the operation or ownership of the Transferred Assets or Transferred Entities (including the MCC Business) and the Purchaser shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event within three (3) months following the Closing Date, remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all of the Seller Names and Marks from all materials, including signage, vehicles, facilities, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, promotional materials, manuals, forms, software or other materials; provided, however, that the Seller shall extend such time period for up to an additional thirty (30) days upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser. However, for clarity, the foregoing sentence does not require the Purchaser or its Affiliates to remove any the Seller Names and Marks solely to the extent they are included as of the Closing Date in any source code, internal programmer help files, internal build materials, or internal product development materials included in the Transferred Assets to the extent not publicly displayed. Furthermore, without limiting either Party’s obligations regarding confidentiality, public statements or other matters under this Agreement, this Section 4.08 shall not be construed to prohibit the Purchaser or its Affiliates from referring to the Seller Names and Marks in factual descriptions of the Seller’s prior ownership of the MCC Business for historical or informational purposes, provided, that, such marks are not used as a Trademark. From and after the Closing until such removal occurs (and in any event no later three (3) months following the Closing Date, subject to extension), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Seller hereby grants the Purchaser and its Affiliates a limited, personal, non-
-58-
assignable and non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to use the Seller Names and Marks used in the MCC Business solely in connection with transitioning to new names and marks in accordance with this Section 4.08. Any use by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of any of the Seller Names and Marks used in the MCC Business as permitted in this Section 4.08 is subject to their use of such Seller Names and Marks in a form and manner, and with standards of quality, of that in effect for the Seller Names and Marks as used in the MCC Business as of the Closing Date. The Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not use such Seller Names and Marks in a manner that may reflect negatively on such name and marks or on the Seller or its Affiliates.

Section 4.09 Insurance. From and after the Closing, (i) the Transferred Entities, the MCC Business, the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, and the operations, assets and Liabilities in respect thereof, shall cease to be insured by any of the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies or by any of their self-insured programs, and (ii) neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Entities) shall have any access, right, title or interest in or to any such insurance policies or self-insured programs (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover the MCC Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, or the operations, assets or Liabilities in respect thereof. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for the MCC Business, the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, and the operations, assets and Liabilities in respect thereof.

Section 4.10 Post-Closing Transfers.
(a) If at any time following the Closing, any Party (or any Affiliate of such Party) shall receive or otherwise possess any asset or Liability that is allocated to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Party shall (or shall cause its Affiliate to) (the “Transferor Party”) reasonably promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset (each, a “Non-Transferred Asset”) or liability (each, a “Non-Transferred Liability”), as the case may be, to the other Party (or to such Party’s Affiliate) (the “Transferee Party”) entitled to such Non-Transferred Asset or responsible for such Non-Transferred Liability, as the case may be,
-59-
and the Transferee Party entitled to such Non-Transferred Asset or responsible for such Non-Transferred Liability shall accept such Non-Transferred Asset or accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform or discharge such Non-Transferred Liability, as applicable. If any transfer or assignment of any Non-Transferred Asset under this Section 4.10 is unable to be consummated promptly for any reason, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the Transferor Party retaining such Non-Transferred Asset shall thereafter hold such Non-Transferred Asset for the use and benefit of the Transferee Party entitled thereto. In addition, the Transferor Party retaining such Non-Transferred Asset shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by Law, take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Transferee Party to whom such Non-Transferred Asset is to be transferred or assigned, in order to place such Transferee Party in a substantially similar position as if such Non-Transferred Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Non-Transferred Asset, including use, risk of loss, Tax costs, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Non-Transferred Asset, is to inure from and after the Closing to the Transferee Party. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with any such transfers or assignments of Non-Transferred Assets or assumption of Non-Transferred Liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all recording or similar fees, shall be borne by the Party that would have been responsible for such costs and expenses if the transfer, assignment or assumption had occurred at or prior to the Closing. This Section 4.10 shall not apply with respect to any Non-Assignable Asset.

If the Purchaser is able to electronically transfer any such Transferred Assets following a request from the Purchaser, the Seller shall not deliver, and shall ensure that none of the Seller’s Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives delivers, any such Transferred Asset to the Purchaser on any tangible medium.

With respect to the Shared Contracts, the Seller, the Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to continue to derive benefits, and required to assume any obligations and economic burdens attributable to such benefits, following the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.12. From the date hereof until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Parties and their Affiliates shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enter into or to grant, and to cause each third party counterparty to a Shared Contract to enter into or to grant, any such new agreements or consents as are reasonably necessary to permit the Seller and its Affiliates or the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to derive such benefits, and assume such obligations and economic burdens, on an independent basis following the Closing; provided, that, none of the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to offer or grant any financial or nonfinancial accommodation in connection therewith that the granting Party in its
-60-
reasonable judgement determines would be material. If, on the Closing Date, any such third party agreement or consent is not obtained, the Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate in a mutually acceptable arrangement under which the Seller and its Affiliates or the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) would, in compliance with Law, obtain the appropriate benefits and assume the related obligations and bear the related economic burdens in respect of such Shared Contracts, including by means of subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangements, or enforcement by the party to such Shared Contract for the benefit (and at the expense) of the other Party or any of its Affiliates (as applicable) that is an intended beneficiary thereof pursuant to this Section 4.12.

To the extent the beneficiary or counterparty under any Approved Seller Guarantees does not accept any such substitute letter of credit, guarantee of the Purchaser or other obligation proffered by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall (x) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates, and reimburse the Seller and its Affiliates for, all amounts paid (including costs or expenses) in connection with such Approved Seller Guarantee, including the Seller’s and its Affiliates’ expenses in maintaining such Approved Seller Guarantees, whether or not any such Approved Seller Guarantee is drawn upon or required to be performed, and shall in any event promptly reimburse the Seller and its Affiliates to the extent any Approved Seller Guarantee is called upon and any of the Seller or its Affiliates makes any payment or is obligated to reimburse the party issuing the Approved Seller Guarantee and (y) not without the Seller’s prior written consent, amend in any manner adverse to the Seller or any of its Affiliates, or extend (or permit the extension of), any Approved Seller Guarantee or any obligation supported by any Approved Seller Guarantee.

(c) For purposes of apportioning Taxes in connection with any Straddle Period, (i) in the case of Taxes based upon or related to income, payroll, sales, premiums or receipts, the amount of any such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of Taxes other than Taxes described in clause (i), the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be the product of (x) the amount of such Taxes for the entire period and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.
(d) The Purchaser, at the Purchaser’s sole expense, shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all Straddle Period Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities and all Straddle Period Tax Returns relating solely to the Transferred Assets (other than those filed by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.02(a)) and shall timely remit, or cause to be timely remitted, all Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Not later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions validly obtained) for the filing of any Tax Return required to be filed by the Purchaser under this Section 7.02(d), the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller a copy of such Tax Return or an applicable pro forma statement (and any other information in the possession of the Purchaser reasonably requested by the Seller relevant for determining the amount of any Pre-Closing Taxes with respect to such Tax Return, if any) for the Seller’s review, and the Purchaser shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by the Seller with respect to such Tax Return or pro forma statement within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof. Not later than three (3) Business Days before the due date for the payment of Taxes shown as due on any such Tax Returns, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to such Taxes, if any, reflected on the pro forma statements (as revised to reflect the Seller’s reasonable comments to the extent described above), less the amount of any such non-Income Taxes that are accrued or otherwise reflected in the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 1.10. In the event the amount of non-Income Taxes that are accrued or
-69-
otherwise reflected in the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 1.10 exceed the amount reflected, the Purchaser shall promptly pay such excess to the Seller.
Section 7.03 Tax Contests.
(a) If any Taxing Authority notifies the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of a Tax Claim that relates to Pre-Closing Taxes, then the Purchaser shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Seller. Such notice shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Taxing Authority.
(b) The Seller shall have the sole right and obligation to control, at its own expense, any Tax Claim relating solely to Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than Straddle Periods), Tax Returns relating to the Transferred Assets for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than Straddle Periods) and Combined Income Tax Returns; provided, however, that with respect to any Tax Claim (other than any Tax Claim relating to any Combined Income Tax Returns), the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of the Purchaser, any Transferred Entity or any of their Affiliates (other than as a result of an issue being raised by a Taxing Authority which merely by the application of the same or similar principles could be expected to result in a proposed deficiency for any Post-Closing Tax Period), the Seller shall provide copies of material written correspondence between the Seller and the Taxing Authority relating to such Tax Claim (subject to redaction of information unrelated to such Tax Claim).
(c) The Purchaser shall have the sole right and obligation to control, at its own expense, any Tax Claim relating solely to the Straddle Period Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities and the Straddle Period Tax Returns relating solely to the Transferred Assets; provided, however, that with respect to any such Tax Claim the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to increase the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes or Taxes that are Excluded Liabilities (as described in Section 2.04(e)) other than as a result of an issue being raised by a Taxing Authority which merely by the application of the same or similar principles could be expected to result in a proposed deficiency for any subsequent taxable period, the Purchaser shall (i) provide copies of material written correspondence between the Purchaser and the Taxing Authority relating to such Tax Claim (subject to redaction of information unrelated to such Tax Claim) and (ii) not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) The Purchaser shall have the sole right and obligation to control, at its own expense, any Tax Claim relating solely to Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities for Post-Closing Tax Periods (other than Straddle Periods); provided, however, with respect to any such Tax Claim (other than any such Tax Claim relating to any combined, consolidated or unitary income Tax Return) the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to increase the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes or Taxes that are Excluded Liabilities (as described in Section 2.04(e)) other than as a result of an issue being raised by a Taxing Authority which merely by the application of the same or similar principles could be expected to result in a proposed deficiency for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Purchaser shall provide copies of material written correspondence between the Purchaser and the Taxing Authority relating to such Tax Claim (subject to redaction of information unrelated to such Tax Claim).
-70-
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Claim with respect to any Tax Return of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) that does not relate to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Entities or the MCC Business and the Seller shall not be required to provide any Person with any such Tax Return or copy thereof in respect of such Tax Claim, and (ii) the Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and none of the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Claim with respect to any Tax Return of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) that does not relate to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Entities or the MCC Business and the Purchaser shall not be required to provide any Person with any such Tax Return or copy thereof in respect of such Tax Claim.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7.03 shall apply to Third-Party Claims related to Taxes.
Section 7.04 Cooperation and Exchange of Information.
(a) Not more than thirty (30) days following receipt of a request from a Party, the other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the requesting Party a package of Tax information materials within the possession of such other Party or its advisors, including schedules and work papers, requested by the requesting Party to enable the requesting Party to prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to Section 7.02.
(b) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other Party such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in connection with (i) filing any Tax Return (including Tax Returns required to be filed pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(ii)), amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a liability for Taxes or an indemnity obligation under Section 2.06 or Section 7.10 or a right to a refund for Taxes or (iii) preparing for or conducting the defense of any Tax Claim.
(c) Each Party shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters of the Transferred Entities (or with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the MCC Business) for their respective taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the taxable periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate and (ii) seven (7) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the Party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them unless the other Party first provides reasonable notice that it intends to take possession of such Tax Returns and other documents at such other Party’s expense. Each Party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.
Section 7.05 Tax Sharing Agreements. The Seller shall terminate or cause to be terminated, at or before the Closing, all Tax sharing, allocation or indemnification agreements (other than this Agreement, any agreement exclusively between or among the Transferred Entities or any agreement not primarily related to Taxes), if any, to which any of the Transferred Entities,
-71-
on the one hand, and any of the Non-MCC Entities, on the other hand, are parties, and none of the Transferred Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights or obligations thereunder after the Closing.
Section 7.06 Refunds . The Seller shall be entitled to all refunds of Pre-Closing Taxes or Taxes that are Excluded Liabilities (as described in Section 2.04(e)) or credits in lieu of such refunds, except to the extent such refunds or credits in lieu of such refunds are accrued as an asset in the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 1.10. The Purchaser shall pay, or cause its Affiliates to pay, to the Seller the amount of any such refunds or credits to which the Seller is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence in readily available funds within thirty (30) days of the actual receipt of the refund or credit or the application of such refund or credit, in each case net of any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs (including Taxes) of the Purchaser or its Affiliates incurred in connection with such refund or credit. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, all such Tax refunds will be claimed in cash rather than as a credit against future Tax liabilities. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall carry back any item of loss, deduction or credit which arises in any Post-Closing Tax Period to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. If any refund or credit paid over to the Seller pursuant to this Section 7.06 is subsequently disallowed or recaptured in whole or in part, the Seller shall promptly return such excess to the Purchaser; provided, that, in no event shall the Seller be obligated to return any amounts to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.06 in excess of the amounts it received from the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.06. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.06 shall not apply to reimbursements in connection with ACA Insurer Taxes and any related Tax gross-ups.
Section 7.07 Post-Closing Actions and Elections.
(a) Without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to (i) amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return of the Transferred Entities relating to any Pre-Closing Taxes (ii) voluntarily approach any Taxing Authority regarding Pre-Closing Taxes or (iii) except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, take any action with respect to the MCC Business on the Closing Date after the Closing that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.
(b) The Parties shall apply the “next day” rule of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (and similar provisions of state and local Law) with respect to any actions taken pursuant to Section 4.04(e) on the Closing Date.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.07(d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser shall not make, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) not to make any election with respect to any Transferred Entity (including any election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3), which election would be effective on or prior to the Closing Date.
(d) The Purchaser and the Seller shall jointly complete and make elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the purchase and sale of the equity interests of MCC Florida, MCC Arizona and MCC of Virginia, in each case on IRS Form 8023 or in such other manner as may be required by Treasury Regulations, and shall jointly make comparable
-72-
elections in the manner required under any analogous provisions of state or local Law concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such election under the Code or other Law, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). The Parties agree that the Section 338(h)(10) Election with respect to the Transferred Equity Interests of MCC of Virginia shall be treated as a protective election. The Purchaser shall, with the assistance and cooperation of the Seller, prepare or cause to be prepared all such forms required for making any Section 338(h)(10) Election, including any attachments to IRS Form 8023 (and all forms under analogous provisions of state or local Law), in accordance with all applicable Laws and consistent with the Adjusted Allocations (to the extent the Adjusted Allocations are agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 1.07), and the Purchaser shall deliver such forms and related documents to the Seller within ten (10) days following the date the Purchaser provides the Seller the Adjusted Non-SWH Allocation pursuant to Section 1.07. The Seller shall return such forms to the Purchaser no later than ten (10) days after receipt thereof from the Purchaser.
Section 7.08 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Seller shall each be responsible for one-half of all Transfer Taxes and related fees imposed on or payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns at such Party’s sole cost and expense and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other Party. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes.
Section 7.09 Non-Transferred Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.10, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Tax Laws, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to treat and report, and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat and report, on their Tax Returns, any Non-Transferred Assets as assets owned by the Transferee Party after the Closing.
Section 7.10 Tax Indemnification.
(a) From and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from all Pre-Closing Taxes and any reasonable out-of-pocket legal and accounting fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
(i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not have any right to indemnification under this Section 7.10 with respect to, or based on, Taxes to the extent such Taxes (A) are due to the unavailability of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attributes in any Post-Closing Tax Period, (B) result from transactions or actions taken by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties on the Closing Date after the Closing which are outside of the Ordinary Course of Business to the extent such transactions or actions are not contemplated by this Agreement, or (C) are accrued or otherwise reflected in the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 1.10 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall have no obligation under this Agreement to pay any Taxes described in this clause (C)); and
-73-
(ii) the indemnification obligation of the Seller under this Section 7.10 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(f)(iv).
(c) If the Seller makes any payment to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.10, the Seller shall be subrogated to all rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses or Taxes indemnified by the Seller provided that such subrogation could not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the operations, affairs, customer or supplier relationships or prospects of the MCC Business; provided, however, that the Seller’s right to subrogation with respect to insurance carriers shall not be subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence; provided, further, that the Seller’s right to subrogation shall at all times be limited by the terms of the R&W Policy to the extent the R&W Policy specifically limits or restricts such right.
(d) The indemnification rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.10 shall survive in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, at which time they shall terminate and no claims shall be made for indemnification under this Section 7.10 thereafter.
(e) All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes to the extent consistent with applicable Law.
Section 7.11 Written Notice. A Purchaser Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt written notice to the Seller of any actual, threatened or possible claim or demand that might give rise to a right of indemnification under Section 7.10 or rights with respect to participation or otherwise with respect to a Tax Claim pursuant to Section 7.03 shall not relieve the Seller of any Liability that the Seller may have to the Purchaser Indemnified Party unless the failure to give such written notice actually prejudiced the Seller with respect to such claim.
ARTICLE VIII
EMPLOYEE MATTERS
Section 8.01 Offer of Employment; Continuation of Employment.
(a) No later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide an offer letter offering employment, the terms and conditions of which shall include the compensation, benefits, and other terms set forth below in this Section 8.01(a), effective as of the Closing, to each individual who, immediately prior to the Closing is a MCC Business Employee, except where a MCC Business Employee’s employment transfers automatically to the Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether pursuant to applicable Law or as a result of the transfer to the Purchaser of the Transferred Equity Interests (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any MCC Business Employees who remain employed by any of the Transferred Entities as of the Closing).
(b) For the period commencing at the Closing and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to each MCC Business Employee: (i) the same general location of employment and a comparable position, in each case, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing,

Each MCC Business Employee who accepts employment with the Purchaser and its Affiliates as of the Closing, or whose employment continues with the Transferred Entities, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates as of the Closing, shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” The Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist the Purchaser and its Affiliates in their reasonable efforts to extend offers to the MCC Business Employees in accordance with the terms hereof, including by using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the Purchaser and its Affiliates, after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, with reasonable access to the MCC Business Employees, as reasonably requested by the Purchaser.
(c) Terms and Conditions of Employment. In the case of Transferred Employees not primarily based in the U.S., the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall, in addition to meeting the requirements of Section 8.01(a), comply with any additional obligations or employment standards arising under applicable Laws governing the terms and conditions of employment.

Consistent with the Purchaser’s obligations under Section 8.01(a), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain the same targets under the cash incentive or bonus programs in effect prior to the Closing Date for the applicable performance measurement period which includes the Closing Date, and the amount that shall be paid to each Transferred Employee for the period through the Closing Date shall be no less than the amount accrued as of the Closing Date; provided, that, any such obligations assumed by the Purchaser shall be included in the calculation of the Net Asset Value.
(e) Vacation and Paid Time Off. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to any required consents, assume or retain, as the case may be, all obligations of the Seller and its Affiliates for the accrued and unused vacation and paid time off of the Transferred Employees and former employees of the MCC Business, and shall reimburse the Seller and its Affiliates for any accrued and unused vacation and paid time off required to be paid by the Seller or its Affiliates to any Transferred Employees or former employees of the MCC Business at or following the Closing; provided, that, any such obligations assumed by, or repaid by, the Purchaser shall be included in the calculation of the Net Asset Value. Transferred Employees shall be permitted to use such accrued and unused vacation and paid time off in accordance with Purchaser’s policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation or liability to pay or provide any vacation or paid time off payments claimed by any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date.
(f) Severance Benefits. The Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller and its Affiliates against any claims and Losses for payments in lieu of notice or severance or termination
-75-
payments, penalties, compensation or expenses in respect of an MCC Business Employee which arise (whether pursuant to contract, customary practice or applicable Law) as a result of the Purchaser or its Affiliates failing to make an offer of employment that complies with Section 8.01(a) to each MCC Business Employee. In addition, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide severance benefits to any Transferred Employee who is terminated during the Continuation Period in an amount that is no less favorable than the severance benefits (including severance payments, transition payments and continued health coverage) set forth on Section 8.01(f) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, at the time of termination.
(g) Retention Plan. Prior to Closing, the Seller shall institute a retention program with respect to the MCC Business Employees mutually selected prior to the date hereof by the Seller and the Purchaser, which program shall provide for cash bonus for MCC Business Employees. Retention payments under such program shall be made by the Purchaser following the Closing in accordance with the terms of thereof; provided, that, fifty-percent (50%) of the retention obligations under such program, including employer-side payroll taxes applicable to such fifty-percent (50%) portion of the retention obligations, shall be included in the calculation of the Net Asset Value.
(h) Assumption of Employee Liabilities. The Purchaser or its Affiliates shall assume or retain, as the case may be, any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from the employment or services, or termination of employment of any MCC Business Employee who is a Transferred Employee, to the extent such Liabilities arise prior to, at or after the Closing.
(i) Assumption of Assumed Employee Plans. The Purchaser or its Affiliates shall assume all Liabilities and assets with respect to, each Assumed Employee Plan and shall assume or discharge all Liabilities under such Assumed Employee Plan. The Seller and its Affiliates shall have no Liability for Assumed Employee Plans; provided, that, any such obligations assumed by the Purchaser which constitute severance benefits or other current liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be included in the calculation of the Net Asset Value.
(j) Participation in Employee Plans other than Assumed Employee Plans. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or as required by the Employee Plans, all MCC Business Employees will cease, effective as of the Closing Date, any participation in, and any benefit accrual under, each Employee Plan that is not an Assumed Employee Plan. The Seller and its Affiliates shall take all necessary actions to effect such cessation of MCC Business Employees under such Employee Plans that are not Assumed Employee Plans.
(k) COBRA. From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) (i) assume all obligations to provide continued health coverage in accordance with COBRA to Transferred Employees and their qualified beneficiaries who elect the health coverage offered by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, regardless of the time of their qualifying event, including all obligations with respect to all health claims incurred on or after the Closing Date, and (ii) to the extent Transferred Employees and their qualified beneficiaries who experience a qualifying event in connection with the Closing (for example, because of a resulting change in employer) elect COBRA coverage under an Employee Plan that is not an Assumed
-76-
Employee Plan instead of the coverage offered by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, reimburse the Seller and its Affiliates for the costs incurred in providing such COBRA coverage.
(l) Flexible Spending Accounts. The Seller and the Purchaser shall take all actions necessary or appropriate so that, effective as of the Closing Date, (i) the account balances (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred FSA Balances”) under any applicable flexible spending plans of the Seller or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller FSA Plans”) of the Transferred Employees who are participants in the Seller FSA Plans shall be transferred to one or more comparable plans of the Purchaser or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser FSA Plans”), (ii) the elections, contribution levels and coverage levels of such Transferred Employees for the plan year of transfer shall apply under the Purchaser FSA Plans in the same manner as under the Seller FSA Plans; and (iii) such Transferred Employees shall be reimbursed from the Purchaser FSA Plans for claims incurred at any time during the plan year of the Seller FSA Plans in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted to the Purchaser FSA Plans from and after the Closing Date on the same basis and the same terms and conditions as under the Seller FSA Plans. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the amount of the Transferred FSA Balances is determined, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is positive, and the Purchaser shall pay the Seller the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is negative.
(m) 401(k) Plan. In accordance with its terms, the Magellan Health, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) shall provide Transferred Employees with a right to elect a distribution from the Seller 401(k) Plan to a qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), and the Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall accept the rollover of any “eligible rollover distribution” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from the Seller 401(k) Plan, including plan loans.
(n) Credit for Service; Health Care Coordination. The Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee with credit for his or her years of service with the Seller and any of its Subsidiaries, including the Transferred Entities (and any predecessors), prior to the Closing for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual rates under the employee benefit plans of the Purchaser and its Affiliates after the Closing if and to the extent such service was credited under a comparable Employee Plan in which the Transferred Employee participated in immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that, the foregoing shall not apply for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service. The Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide that no pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods shall apply to the Transferred Employees and their respective covered dependents under the group health plans provided for such Transferred Employees, except to the extent such condition or exclusion was applicable to an individual Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents prior to the Closing under the comparable Employee Plans. To the extent the Transferred Employees begin participating in any Purchaser group health plan, the Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents with credit for deductibles, co-insurance, copayments and out-of-pocket requirements paid during the portion of the plan year in which the Purchaser plan is introduced and prior to the Transferred Employee’s participation in such Purchaser group
-77-
health plan in satisfying any applicable deductible, co-insurance, co-payments or out-of-pocket requirements.

(i) The Seller shall be solely responsible for providing any notice and paying any obligations or other Losses required, as well as any and all liability arising directly or indirectly, under the WARN Act, or its state or local equivalents, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, in respect to any mass layoff, termination, or relocation by the Seller of the employment of any of its employees at or prior to the Closing. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser does not assume or agree to discharge any obligations of the Seller under COBRA with respect to any current or former employees of the Seller terminated at or prior to the Closing.

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller does not assume or agree to discharge any obligations of the Purchaser under COBRA with respect to any Transferred Employees terminated after the Closing.
