From and after the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Group Companies) shall retain all rights to control such insurance policies, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies; provided that Seller will not take any action that would cause the Acquired Group Companies to no longer be eligible for coverage under the Retained Policies (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) in respect of Pre-Closing Occurrences.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the Acquired Group Companies may be entitled to the benefit of coverage under the insurance policies of the Seller or its Affiliates (the “Retained Policies”) with respect to acts, facts, circumstances or omissions occurring prior to Closing (“Pre-Closing Occurrences”). For any Pre-Closing Occurrences, from and after the Closing, Seller will direct such carriers to provide the Acquired Group Companies with access to the Retained Policies and shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer and the Acquired Group Companies and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to assist the Acquired Group Companies in submitting, and to provide support with respect to, such claims to which such policies are responsive. The Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to report any and all Pre-Closing Occurrences arising in connection with the Acquired Group Companies (to the extent

the Losses with respect to such Pre-Closing Occurrences were not taken into account in connection with the Purchase Price adjustment under Section 2.4) to the applicable insurance providers of Seller or its Affiliates to the extent permitted under the applicable Retained Policy, and where not permitted, Seller agrees, upon receipt of a written request by Buyer, to use commercially reasonable efforts to make such report on Buyer’s behalf.

The Parties agree that any recoveries under the Retained Policies pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall inure first to the Seller and its Affiliates to reimburse any and all Recovery Costs, without duplication of any amounts reimbursed pursuant to clause (y) above with the remainder to the Buyer.

Section 5.7 Retained Assets; Pre-Closing Asset Contribution; Intercompany Account Settlement.

(a) As of the Closing, the Acquired Group Companies shall have assigned, and to the extent not so assigned at the Closing, the Acquired Group Companies hereby assign, to Seller, all right, title and interest in and to the matters set forth in Section 5.7(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, including the right to xxx and recover damages in respect thereof and, at the request of the Seller, take such further action as Seller may require to effectively assign, transfer and convey to Seller or to record Seller’s right and title to, or interest in, such matters.

(b) At 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the date immediately preceding the date hereof, the Acquired Group Companies shall have assigned the Distributed Assets to Seller pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Distributed Asset Distribution”). For a period of time commencing on the date that the Parties enter into the reverse transition services agreement contemplated by Section 5.12 and ending on the date that is two (2) years after the Closing, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Group Companies to collect the Accounts Receivable in a manner consistent with the Acquired Group Companies’ Ordinary Course of Business as to such Accounts Receivable. On or before the last

day of each month, for a period of two (2) years after the Closing, the Buyer shall cause the Acquired Group Companies to remit to Seller an amount equal to the amounts collected by the Acquired Group Companies in respect of Accounts Receivable during the preceding calendar month. [***]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and the Acquired Group Companies shall have the right to reduce any payments otherwise required to be made to Seller under this Section 5.7(b) by the amounts, if any, equal to the Overpayment Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor the Acquired Group Companies shall have any Liability to Seller or any other Person for any failure to collect amounts with respect to the Accounts Receivable unless such amounts are not collected as a result of Buyer’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.7(b), Buyer and any of the Acquired Group Companies may (A) return any Relief Payments if (1) required by Law or (2) the retention of such Relief Payments would subject Buyer or the Acquired Group Companies to material restrictions on the operation of the Aspen Business, provided that Buyer and its Affiliates also return any amounts that it or they have received under the same programs under the CARES Act or PPPCEA, and (B) in their sole discretion return any Relief Payments described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof received by the Acquired Group Companies pursuant to the CARES Act or the PPPHCEA to the applicable Governmental Authority and if Buyer or any Acquired Group Company returns any such funds pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) or (B), such returned funds shall be treated as Overpayment Amounts.

(c) As of the Closing, Seller shall have contributed all assets, properties, claims, interests and rights, whether tangible or intangible, whether personal, real or mixed, wherever located (except for Distributed Assets, Excluded Assets, and those assets, the use of which is provided for under the Transition Services Agreements) necessary for and sufficient to conduct the business of the Acquired Companies from and after the Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted immediately prior to the Closing (the “Business Asset Contribution”).

(d) As of the Closing, Seller shall have completed the transactions described on Section 5.7(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Intercompany Account Settlement”).

(e) Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that all of the Funding Notes outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing are hereby cancelled, with no further Liability of the Acquired Group Companies thereunder.

Section 5.8 Further Assurances; Transferred Assets.

(a) Following the Closing, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments and assurances and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested to carry out and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements including for purposes of assigning or perfecting the assignment of Intellectual Property Rights as set forth in Section 5.12.

(b) If any Party discovers that any Transferred Asset was not transferred to the Acquired Group Companies prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to promptly transfer, assign and convey such

Transferred Asset to Buyer (or one of Buyer’s Affiliates, as directed by Buyer) without additional consideration therefor. If any Party discovers that Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Group Companies) owns any Liability that constituted Excluded Liabilities as of the date hereof, or that any Liability that has been transferred by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies) to Buyer or any of its Affiliates were Excluded Liabilities as of the date hereof, then any such Liability shall be deemed to have been held in trust by the Acquired Group Companies, Buyer or their Affiliates following Closing for Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, and Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Group Companies and its other Affiliates to, promptly transfer, assign and convey such Liability to Seller (or any of its Affiliates as designated by Seller) without any consideration therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that the Excluded Liabilities are not intended to, and shall not, be assumed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Group Companies) and Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Group Companies) shall retain such Liabilities.

Section 5.9 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) For a period of [***] years commencing on the date of this Agreement, no Seller Restricted Entity shall, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or invest in, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any Restricted Business anywhere in the Restricted Territory; provided that the prohibitions in this Section 5.9(a) shall not apply to (i) the operation of the business of the Excluded Entities and (ii) any acquisition, whether through the acquisition of assets, securities or other ownership interests or a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, by any Seller Restricted Entity of all or any part of a business or Person that is engaged in the Restricted Business where the revenues of the acquired Restricted Business represent no more than [***] of the aggregate consolidated revenues of such acquired business or Person, as applicable, for such business’s or Person’s most recently completed fiscal year; provided that the Seller Restricted Entity divests the portion of the acquired business representing the Restricted Business within one (1) year following the consummation of such acquisition.

(b) For a period of [***] years commencing on the date of this Agreement, no Seller Restricted Entity shall (or attempt to), directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or engagement or hire or engage any Continuing Employee employed by any Acquired Group Company as of immediately prior to the Closing, or encourage or induce any such employee to leave such employment; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.9(b) shall prevent any Seller Restricted Entity from (i) engaging in general solicitations (including through the use of recruiting or search firms) which is not directed specifically to any such employees so long as no such employee is hired as a result thereof (except as would otherwise be permitted under clause (ii) below), (ii) hiring or soliciting any of the Continuing Employees whose employment has been terminated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (iii) after a period of six (6) months following the date hereof (A) hiring or soliciting any Continuing Employee who has resigned from his or her employment with Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) after ninety (90) days from the date of his or her resignation, or (B) hiring any Continuing Employee who applies for employment, but was not solicited by any Seller Restricted Entity in violation of this Section 5.9(b).

(c) The Seller Restricted Entities acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.9 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.9 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of Section 5.9(a) and Section 5.9(b) shall not apply to (i) any Parent Acquirer or any of its Affiliates (other than Seller Parent and any Affiliates directly or indirectly controlled by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries) or (ii) to any Person from or after such time that such Person is not controlled by Seller Parent, (including any Person that cease to be controlled by Seller); provided, however, for purposes of clarity, notwithstanding an acquisition by any Parent Acquirer, the Seller Restricted Entities will continue to remain subject to the restrictive provisions set forth in this Section 5.9. For purposes of this Section 5.9(d), the term “control” shall mean the power, authority or ability of Seller Parent to, directly or indirectly, cause the applicable entity to comply with the applicable terms of this Section 5.9(d).

Section 5.10 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Legal Proceeding or demand by a third party in connection with (a) any transactions contemplated under this Agreement, or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the Excluded Assets, the Excluded Liabilities or the Acquired Group Companies, upon the request of Buyer or Seller, as applicable, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers and employees to, cooperate with such requesting Party and its counsel in such prosecution, contest or defenses, including making available its personnel, and providing such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Buyer hereby agrees to (to the extent applicable) move for substitution or take similar actions under applicable Law for Seller or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in any and all Legal Proceedings primarily related to the Aspen Business for any member of the Acquired Group Companies, and for such Person to be released from any and all such Legal Proceedings effective as of the Closing and (ii) Seller hereby agrees to, or to cause its Affiliates to, move for substitution or take similar actions under applicable Law for Buyer or one or more of its Affiliates to be substituted in any and all Legal Proceedings not primarily related to the Aspen Business for the Aspen Group Companies, and to move for the Aspen Group Companies to be released from any and all such Legal Proceedings. If any Seller receives notice of any Legal Proceeding involving or related to the Aspen Business or any Acquired Group Company, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and provide Buyer with a copy of such notice.

Section 5.11 Real Property Lease Assignments. Following the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to assign any Real Property Lease, whereby Seller or its Affiliates is the lessee, to an Acquired Group Company or Buyer without triggering, with the delivery of notice, passage of time or both, a default or permit the termination, modification or acceleration of rights under such Real Property Lease.

Section 5.12 Intellectual Property.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies), hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Target Company or its designee(s), free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, all right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property Rights owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates and primarily used or held for use in, the Aspen Business, including the Intellectual Property Rights set forth on Section 5.12(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, but excluding any Excluded Assets (collectively, the “Transferred Intellectual Property Rights”).

Seller shall obtain from its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies) the rights necessary to, or shall cause such Affiliates to, effectuate the foregoing.

(b) Promptly following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies) to, take all actions and make all filings at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in the United States, as necessary to effectuate an Acquired Company as the exclusive legal owner and owner-of-record of all right, title and interest in and to all Registered Company Intellectual Property Rights (without any breaks in chain-of-title), free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

(c) Effective as of the Closing, Seller hereby grants, on behalf of itself and all of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies), to each of the Acquired Companies a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, nonexclusive license, with the right to sublicense through one or more tiers, in and to all Intellectual Property Rights (other than Trademarks) owned or licensed by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies) as of the Closing and that were used or held for use in the Aspen Business as of the Closing or during the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing, excluding the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights (the “Licensed Intellectual Property Rights”), to use the Licensed Intellectual Property Rights in connection with their respective businesses and any natural expansions thereof. Such license shall be transferable in connection with any subsequent sale of the business or product to which it relates, either in whole or in part.

(d) For any Trademarks owned by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies) and not included in the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights, that were used in connection with the Aspen Business as of the Closing, including the name “MEDNAX” or any derivative thereof (“Seller Retained Marks”), Seller hereby grants to the

Acquired Group Companies and their Affiliates, until December 31, 2020, a non-exclusive license with the right to sublicense, under any Seller Retained Marks for purposes of conducting the Aspen Business in substantially the same manner as the Aspen Business was conducted prior to the Closing and to facilitate the wind-down of any use of the Seller Retained Marks.

ARTICLE 6

TAX MATTERS.

Section 6.1 Post-Closing Tax Returns.

(a) Buyer shall be responsible for filing (or causing to be filed) all Tax Returns that have not been filed as of the date hereof with respect to the Acquired Group Companies that are required to be filed for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any Seller Consolidated Tax Return), Straddle Period (other than any Seller Consolidated Tax Return) or Post-Closing Tax Period. To the extent any such Tax Return includes a material amount of Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 6.7(a), Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, for its review and comment no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions), a copy of the Tax Return proposed to be filed. Any such Tax Return that relates to a Straddle Period shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the past practice of that Acquired Group Company and without a change of any election or any accounting method, in each case provided that there is at least “substantial authority” for each such past practice position in the reasonable determination of Buyer’s Tax Return preparers. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for the filing (taking into account available extensions) of any Tax Returns addressed by this section that include a material amount of Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 6.7(a), the Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any objections to any items set forth on such Tax Returns and Buyer shall accept and reflect any reasonable comment that Seller submits to Buyer. Seller shall, without prejudice to or duplication of the rights of Buyer and the Acquired Group Companies

to indemnification under Section 6.7(a), pay to Buyer the amount of any Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 6.7(a) no later than ten (10) days prior to the due date for the filing (taking into account available extensions) of the applicable Tax Returns (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the same limitations that apply to the indemnity under Section 6.7 shall apply to a payment hereunder).

(b) Seller and its Affiliates shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the preparation and filing of all affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary Tax Returns that include Seller or any of its Affiliates (a “Seller Consolidated Tax Return”) even if it includes an Acquired Group Company. Seller and its Affiliates shall determine in their sole discretion whether to file any such Seller Consolidated Tax Return for a taxable period of an Acquired Group Company ending on or before the date of this Agreement on an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary basis if the filing of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return for such period is elective under applicable Law. Seller shall notify Buyer of any such decision that is a departure from past practice no less than ninety (90) days prior to the filing deadline for the applicable stand-alone Tax Return of the applicable Acquired Group Company. Buyer hereby agrees (and agrees to cause each Acquired Group Company), to file any and all consents, elections or other documents and to take any other actions necessary or appropriate reasonably requested by Seller to allow Seller and its Affiliates to exercise their rights and responsibilities under this Section 6.1(b). Buyer shall not amend or revoke any Seller Consolidated Tax Return for any taxable period ending on or before, or including, the date of this Agreement (or any notification or election relating thereto) without the prior written consent of Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement Buyer shall not carry back any losses of the Acquired Group Companies to a taxable period in which Seller or any of its Affiliates was a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group including any of the Acquired Group Companies. To the extent filing a Seller Consolidated Tax Return that includes an Acquired Group Company, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Seller Parent shall include the income, assets and activity of such Acquired Group Company (including any deferred items triggered into income by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-13 and any excess loss account taken into income under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-19 and including any items attributable to the Distributed Asset Distribution, the Business Asset Contribution, the Intercompany Account Settlement or the cancellation or settlement of the Funding Notes) on the applicable Seller Consolidated Tax Returns for all periods including or ending on or before the date hereof, and Seller Parent or Seller shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) all Taxes shown as due on such Seller Consolidated Tax Returns. Seller shall deliver to Buyer for its review and comment no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions), “pro forma” copies of the portion of any such Seller Consolidated Tax Returns that reflect the income, assets or activity of any Acquired Group Company. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for the filing (taking into account available extensions) of any such Seller Consolidated Tax Return, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any objections to any items set forth on such “pro forma” copies and Seller and Buyer shall discuss in good faith such comments; provided that Seller shall accept and reflect on the Seller Consolidated Tax Return any comments as are necessary for Seller to comply with any explicit obligations under Article 6 of this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Apportionment. For purposes of this Agreement, in order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to a Straddle Period, the Parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the date of this Agreement as the last day of the

taxable year or period of the Acquired Group Companies for all Tax purposes. For purposes of this computation, (i) the income of each member of a U.S. federal consolidated income group which includes both an Acquired Group Company on the one hand and Seller or any of its Affiliates on the other hand shall be apportioned to the period up to and including the date of this Agreement and the period after the date of this Agreement pursuant to an actual closing the books of the Acquired Group Company as of the end of the date of this Agreement pursuant to the principles of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76 and corresponding provisions under applicable Law; provided, however, that any transactions occurring on the date of this Agreement but after the Closing other than in the ordinary course of business shall be reported by all parties in accordance with the next day rule of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B), and (ii) similar principles shall apply to any other affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group which includes both an Acquired Group Company on the one hand and Seller or any of its Affiliates on the other hand. In any case where applicable Law does not permit the Acquired Group Companies to treat the date of this Agreement as the last day of the taxable year or period, the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall be (x) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis (such as personal property taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the date of this Agreement, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and (y) in the case of Taxes not described in (x) (e.g., income taxes, payroll taxes, sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, etc.), the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on (and included) the date of this Agreement based on an interim closing of the books. For purposes of clause (y) of the preceding sentence, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit arising from the cancellation or settlement of the Funding Notes shall for the avoidance of doubt be treated as occurring in the period up to and including the date of this Agreement, and any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the date of this Agreement on a pro rata basis, determined by multiplying the entire amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the date of this Agreement, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 6.2 shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, when measuring the application of a limitation under Section 382 of the Code, the parties shall apply the methodology permitted under Treasury regulations section 1.382-6 which results in the greatest allocation of income to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 6.3 Reimbursement and Refunds. Any Tax refunds (and interest thereon) that are received by Buyer or its Affiliates (including for these purposes the Acquired Group Companies) on or prior to the Tax Cut-Off Date for the indemnity obligation in Section 6.7, and any amounts credited against Tax (including estimated Tax payments) to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including for these purposes the Acquired Group Companies) become entitled on or prior to the Tax Cut-Off Date for the indemnity obligation in Section 6.7, that are attributable to Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 6.7 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such refunds or credits that are attributable to Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 6.7 and are

actually realized by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Group Companies) in Post-Closing Tax Periods in respect of any Tax Attribute of the Acquired Group Companies that existed on the date hereof) shall, net of any Taxes or expenses incurred in connection with the application for or collection thereof, be for the account of the Seller, except to the extent (i) such refunds or credits have already been taken into account in the computation of current Tax assets included in Net Working Capital, (ii) such refunds or credits are attributable to the carry back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute generated after the date hereof (other than a carryback from a Seller Consolidated Tax Return) or (iii) such refunds or credits are required to be paid to any other Person pursuant to any contract or agreement entered into by an Acquired Group Company prior to the Closing. Any such refund of Taxes or credits against Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Post-Closing Tax Periods in accordance with the principles of Section 6.2. For the avoidance of doubt, if, in lieu of receiving any refund described in the first sentence of this Section 6.3, Buyer or its Affiliates (including for these purposes any Acquired Group Company) uses the items described in the first sentence of this Section 6.3 to reduce or offset a Tax liability with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period, Buyer shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the amount of such reduction in Tax liability, net of any Taxes or expenses incurred in connection with (and which would not have arisen but for) the application for or collection thereof, and such reduction or offset, for the avoidance of doubt, shall take into account any accrued interest in respect of such refund. Buyer shall pay over to the Seller any cash refund described in the first sentence of this Section 6.3, net of any Taxes or expenses incurred in connection with (and which would not have arisen but for) the application for or collection thereof, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, and shall pay over to the Seller the amount of Tax savings realized by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including for these purposes the Acquired Group Companies) in respect of any credits against Tax described in this Section 6.3, net of any Taxes or expenses incurred in connection with (and which would not have arisen but for) the application for or collection thereof, at the time the Tax Return in which such savings are realized is required to be filed by Buyer or such Affiliates subject to Buyer’s rights to set-off under Section 7.6(c). If all or a portion of such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed by a Governmental Authority, Seller will, upon request by Buyer (and subject to receipt from Buyer of commercially reasonable backup documentation), promptly pay to Buyer the incremental increase in Tax Liability (determined on a “with and without” basis) resulting from such disallowance. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Seller to make available any Tax Returns (or any other information relating to Taxes) to Buyer or to file any amended Tax Return or other claim for a refund of Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period

Section 6.4 Tax Cooperation.The Parties and their Affiliates agree to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Acquired Group Companies, as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns, for the application of this Article 6, and for the preparation of, and for the prosecution or defense of any Tax Claim, including executing and delivering such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 6.4; provided that (x) the Seller shall not be required under this Section 6.4 or any other provision of this Agreement to provide to Buyer any Tax Return of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies) or any Seller Consolidated Tax Return and (y) neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall be required under this Section 6.4 to provide to the other party any information that is privileged if the disclosure of such information is reasonably expected to result in the loss of such privilege. Without limiting any

other requirements under this Agreement, Buyer shall cause each relevant Acquired Group Company to timely provide to Seller, in a format reasonably determined by Seller that is consistent with past practices, all information reasonably requested by Seller to prepare the Seller Consolidated Tax Returns (the “Tax Package”) and shall provide Seller with reasonable access to the relevant Acquired Group Company Employees. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall deliver (or cause an Acquired Group Company to deliver) to Seller the Tax Package for the taxable year ending on the date of this Agreement no later than forty-five (45) days before the date a Seller Consolidated Tax Return will be filed by Seller or its Affiliates. Buyer shall also cause each Acquired Group Company to provide to Seller (reasonably promptly upon request therefore by Seller) such information as may be reasonably required to determine estimated Tax payments, current and deferred Tax liabilities, Tax reserve items, and any additional current or prior Tax information reasonably required by Seller or any of its Affiliates consistent with the past practices of the Seller (or relevant Affiliate). Any information obtained under this Section 6.4 shall be kept confidential, except (i) as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding or defending any Tax Claim, or (ii) with the consent of the Parties, as the case may be. The Parties agree to (a) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to each of the Acquired Group Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the date of this Agreement until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority and (b) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and records (other than any information that Seller and Buyer, as applicable, reasonably believe to be privileged).

Section 6.5 Transfer Taxes. All excise, sales, use, value-added, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation, registration and other similar taxes, together with any interest or penalties thereon, resulting directly from or imposed in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand; provided that all Transfer Taxes resulting directly from or imposed in connection with the Distributed Asset Distribution, the Business Asset Contribution, the Excluded Assets, the Intercompany Account Settlement or the cancellation or settlement of the Funding Notes shall be borne by Seller. The Party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns (or causing such Tax Returns to be filed) will file or cause to be filed all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and the other Party and its Affiliates will (x) reasonably cooperate in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns and other documentation (including, if required by applicable Law, joining in (or causing its Affiliates to join in) in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation) and (y) promptly pay to the filing Party an amount equal to its share of any Transfer Taxes (determined as described above). Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other in order to minimize applicable Transfer Taxes in a manner that is mutually agreeable and in compliance with applicable Law.

Section 6.6 Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements, arrangements, policies and guidelines, formal or informal, express or implied, that may exist between (x) an Acquired Group Company, on the one hand, and (y) Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, and all rights and obligations thereunder shall terminate as of the date of this Agreement, and the Acquired Group Companies shall have no rights or Liabilities thereunder.

Section 6.7 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Tax Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 6, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Acquired Group Companies from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of, without duplication, (i) any Pre-Closing Taxes; (ii) any Pre-Closing Taxes of the Acquired Group Companies attributable to or resulting from any cancellation or discharge of indebtedness income (or similar income) or the reduction pursuant to Section 108(b) of the Code (or similar provision of law) of net operating losses, Tax basis or other Tax attributes that were utilized in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period, in each case, as a result of the modification of the Funding Notes (and/ or any resulting reclassification thereof from debt to equity for income Tax purposes) or the cancellation or settlement of the Funding Notes; (iii) Taxes of Seller, any of its Affiliates or any other Person (other than any of the Acquired Group Companies) for which any Acquired Group Company is held liable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law); (iv) Taxes of Seller, any of its Affiliates or any other Person (other than any of the Acquired Group Companies) for which any Acquired Group Company is held liable as a transferee or successor, by contract (other than customary Tax indemnifications contained in commercial agreements a primary purpose of which does not relate to Taxes and other than an Ancillary Agreement), by assumption or otherwise, but, in each case, as a result of an event or transaction occurring, or contract entered into, prior to the Closing; (v) any Transfer Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 6.5; (vi) any portion of any payroll, social security, unemployment, withholding Taxes or other Taxes of any Acquired Group Company deferred pursuant to the CARES Act, if any; (vii) any Taxes of the Acquired Group Companies attributable to or resulting from any adjustment pursuant to Section 481 of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) made prior to the Closing that as of December 31, 2019 has not yet been included in taxable income, determined on a “with and without” basis (but not to exceed, in the aggregate, the amount that would be payable in respect of such adjustment by the Acquired Group Companies in Post-Closing Tax Periods if each Acquired Group Company continued to file its income Tax Returns consistent with past practice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the decision of whether or not to join an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return), provided that there is at least “substantial authority” for each such past practice position in the reasonable determination of Buyer’s Tax Return preparers, and taking into account any limitations on utilization of Tax attributes imposed on the Acquired Group Companies in Post-Closing Tax Periods under Section 382 of the Code (or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law), on a “with and without” basis); (viii) any Post-Closing Taxes attributable to or resulting from any deferred revenue or prepaid amount of an Acquired Group Company that was earned prior to the Closing but that as of Closing has not yet been included in taxable income, determined on a “with and without” basis (but not to exceed, in the aggregate, the amount that would be payable in respect of such deferred revenue or prepaid amount by the Acquired Group Companies in Post-Closing Tax Periods if each Acquired Group Company filed its income Tax Returns consistent with past practice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the decision of whether or not to join an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return, except that in the case of an Acquired Group Company that previously joined a Seller Consolidated Tax Return, the preceding amount shall be determined as if that Acquired Group Company filed a standalone Tax Return)

provided that there is at least “substantial authority” for each such past practice position in the reasonable determination of Buyer’s Tax Return preparers, and taking into account any limitations on utilization of Tax attributes imposed on the Acquired Group Companies in Post-Closing Tax Periods under Section 382 of the Code (or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law), on a “with and without” basis); or (ix) any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 without giving effect (for purposes of determining breach or inaccuracy or the amount of any Losses) to any limitation as to materiality, “materially adverse”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar limitation contained therein with respect to such representation or warranty, in each case to the extent such Losses were not taken into account as liabilities in Net Working Capital or Indebtedness as finally determined; provided, however, that in all events the Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer or any Acquired Group Company under any provision of this Agreement from and against (A) any Taxes described in Section 6.7(b) or (B) any Taxes arising from actions taken by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Group Companies) on the date hereof after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business except as required or permitted under this Agreement, and any Taxes that could not have arisen but for any action taken by Buyer or any of the Acquired Group Companies after the date of this Agreement in violation of this Article 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s indemnity obligation under this Section 6.7 for any Post-Closing Taxes shall be reduced by any reduction in Liability for such Post-Closing Taxes actually realized by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Group Companies) in Post-Closing Tax Periods in respect of any Tax Attribute of the Acquired Group Companies that existed on the date hereof (“Pre-Closing Tax Attribute”), provided, however, that for this purpose (and for purposes of determining the applicable portion of any refunds or credits that are subject to Section 6.3) such Pre-Closing Tax Attribute shall be deemed first used to reduce such Post-Closing Taxes subject to indemnification under this Section 6.7. If all or a portion of such Pre-Closing Tax Attribute that has reduced an indemnity obligation under this Section 6.7 is subsequently disallowed by a Governmental Authority, Seller will, upon request by Buyer (and subject to receipt from Buyer of commercially reasonable backup documentation), promptly pay to Buyer the incremental increase in Tax Liability (determined on a “with and without” basis) resulting from such disallowance (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not exceed the aggregate of the amounts by which the indemnity obligations have been reduced on account of such Pre-Closing Tax Attribute).

(b) Tax Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 6, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of any Transfer Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 6.5, provided that the Buyer’s indemnification obligations shall terminate on the Tax Cut-Off Date.

(c) In respect of the indemnity obligation described in Section 6.7(a)(vii), the Seller shall make the following payments by wire transfer to the Buyer for an aggregate payment amount of [***]:

(i) a payment of [***] on each of on [***];

(ii) a quarterly payment of [***] on each of [***].

Any amount described in Section 6.7(a)(vii) that exceeds [***], otherwise remains indemnifiable hereunder and shall be paid as described in Section 6.7(a).

(d) Buyer shall provide to Seller, no later than forty-five (45) days following the latest date on which an Affiliated Physician Practice files its timely-filed U.S federal income Tax Return for the taxable year ending December 31, 2021, a reasonably detailed computation, and any backup documentation reasonably requested by Seller in respect thereof, showing the amount as of such time to which Buyer is entitled under Section 6.7(a) in respect of any Post-Closing Taxes of the Acquired Group Companies attributable to or resulting from any adjustment pursuant to Section 481 of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) (the “Estimated Section 481 Indemnity Amount”). If the aggregate amount paid by Seller under Section 6.7(c) during (x) the calendar year ending December 31, 2020 and (y) the calendar year ending December 31, 2021 exceeds the aggregate Estimated Section 481 Indemnity Amount shown on such computation, Buyer will promptly refund such excess to Seller no later than fifteen (15) days after Buyer is reasonably able to determine the amount of such excess, subject to Buyer’s rights to set-off under Section 7.6(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of Buyer to make the payment pursuant to this Section 6.7(d) is without prejudice to the rights of Buyer and the Acquired Group Companies to continuing indemnification under Section 6.7(a) in respect of any Post-Closing Taxes of the Acquired Group Companies attributable to or resulting from any adjustment pursuant to Section 481 of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) (for example, in the case any such Post-Closing Taxes are reflected on a Tax Return for a calendar year ending after December 31, 2021).

(e) All indemnification and other payments made under this Article 6 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) The indemnification obligations in this Section 6.7(a) shall have no monetary limitation except as specifically described in Section 7.4 hereof.

Section 6.8 Procedures Relating to Tax Indemnification

(a) If a claim for Taxes, including notice of a pending audit, shall be made by any Tax Authority in writing, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 6.7 including, for the avoidance of doubt, any claim relating to the Intended Tax Treatment as that term is defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (any such claim, a “Tax Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other party or parties (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Tax Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Tax Claim. If notice of a Tax Claim is not given to the Tax Indemnifying Party within such period, the Tax Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Tax Indemnified Party to the extent that the Tax Indemnifying Party’s position is prejudiced as a result thereof. No claim for indemnification under this Article 6 may be made (i) except in connection with a Tax Claim, and (ii) after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for assessments plus thirty (30) days, giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension of such period (such date the “Tax Cut-Off Date”) (provided that any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Tax Indemnified Party to the Tax Indemnifying Party prior to such Tax Cut-Off Date shall survive until finally resolved).

(b) The Tax Indemnifying Party shall control all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may pursue or forgo any and all reasonable administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Tax Authority with respect thereto, and may either pay any Taxes imposed by a Tax Authority relating to the Tax Claim and make a claim for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund claim or contest such Tax Claim in any permissible manner. If any Tax Indemnifying Party elects not to control any proceedings relating to a Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnified Party shall control such proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the party controlling a proceeding under this Section 6.8(b) shall keep the other party informed as to the status of such proceedings (including by providing copies of all notices received from the relevant Tax Authority) and the other party shall have the right to review and comment on any correspondence from the party controlling the proceeding to the relevant Tax Authority prior to submission of such correspondence to the Tax Authority and (ii) the party controlling the proceeding shall not settle or compromise such Tax Claim without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall control any proceedings in connection with any Tax Claim relating to any Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Group Companies) or any Seller Consolidated Tax Returns.

Section 6.9 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) If consented to by joint written agreement of Seller and Buyer on or after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall timely join in making an election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state or local Tax Law) with respect to the sale of the Acquired Group Companies (the “338(h)(10) Election”), and the Parties shall execute a Form 8023 (or successor form), with all attachments, with respect to such sale.

(b) In the event that the Parties agree to a 338(h)(10) Election pursuant to Section 6.9(a):

(i) The Parties shall cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such additional forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve each timely election in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state or local Tax law) or any successor provisions.

(ii) In connection with such election, Seller shall prepare a draft Form 8883 (or successor form) and provide such draft Form 8883 to Buyer no later than ninety (90) days prior to the due date of such Form 8883. If, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the draft Form 8883, Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer disagrees with the draft Form 8883, then the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve their disagreement within the twenty (20) days following Buyer’s notification to Seller of such disagreement. If Buyer does not so notify Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of the draft Form 8883, or upon resolution of the disputed items by the Parties the draft Form 8883 shall become the “Final Form 8883”. If the Parties are unable to resolve their disagreement within the twenty (20) days following any such notification by Buyer, then the Parties shall submit all such disputed items for resolution to the Accounting Firm, whose decision shall be final and binding upon all Persons involved and whose fees and expenses shall

be allocated as between the Parties under the principles of the second and third sentences of Section 2.4(b)(iv) of this Agreement. The Form 8883 delivered by the Accounting Firm shall be the “Final Form 8883”. The Parties shall act in good faith to cause the Accounting Firm to deliver the Final Form 8883 within twenty (20) days after such submission. The Parties shall (i) be bound by each such Final Form 8883 for purposes of determining any Taxes and (ii) prepare and file their Tax Returns on a basis consistent with each such Final Form 8883. The purchase price allocation pursuant to the Final Form 8883 shall be appropriately adjusted if and when any purchase price adjustments are made pursuant to this Agreement. No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date such Form 8883 and any related documentation are required to be filed under the applicable Laws, Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer the Final Form 8883.

Section 6.10 Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36 Election.Subject to Section 6.9, Seller Parent or the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a timely election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) to reduce Seller’s basis in the Target Securities to the extent necessary to avoid a step-down in the income tax basis of the assets of the Acquired Group Companies. If this election is so made, Seller shall timely provide Buyer with a copy of the “Section 1.1502-36 Statement” that Seller Parent files with the Seller Consolidated Tax Return in connection with the election. For avoidance of doubt, no other election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36 shall be made with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1(a) or Section 6.8(a) for the survival of the representations, warranties and covenants and for the making of claims for indemnification based on any breaches thereof is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable thereto, then, by contract, the statute of limitations applicable thereto shall be reduced to the survival period set forth in Section 7.1(a) or Section 6.8(a), as applicable.

defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) for Losses in excess of such amount; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Per Claim Threshold and Indemnification Threshold shall not apply with regard to Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,

(i) with respect to the matters set forth in Section 7.2(c)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.2(c) unless and the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of such matters exceeds [***], and once the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of such matters exceeds [***], Seller shall only be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees for fifty percent (50%) of all Losses in excess of such threshold until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of such matters exceeds [***]; provided that, once the aggregate Losses in respect of such matters has exceeded [***], Seller shall be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees for all Losses in respect of such matters, subject to the terms of this Article 7, but only for Losses in excess of [***]; and

(ii) with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(d) in respect of any Aspen Retained Claim, Buyer or the applicable Acquired Group Company shall bear, and Seller shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees for, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) [***] of all Losses in respect of such Aspen Retained Claim in excess of the insured amount for such claim and (y) [***]; provided that the aggregate Losses borne by Buyer or the Acquired Group Companies pursuant to this Section 7.4(b)(ii) shall not exceed [***] (the “Retained Claims Threshold”), and once the Retained Claims Threshold has been exceeded, Seller shall be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees for all Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.2(d) in excess of the Retained Claims Threshold.

(c) Other than with respect to any Losses arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Specified Seller Representations, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees under Section 7.2(a) from and after the time at which the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification under Section 7.2(a) (other than those arising out of, upon, related to or in connection with the Specified Seller Representations) exceeds [***] (and, for the avoidance of doubt, except for claims in respect of the Specified Seller Representations, the maximum amount of payments required to be made by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed such amount). The Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees under Section 7.2(a) or Section 6.7(a)(i), (v), (vi) or (viii) from and after the time at which the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification under such provisions exceeds [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, no such monetary limitation shall apply to the indemnification obligations contained in Section 7.2(b), Section 7.2(c), Section 7.2(d), Section 7.2(e), Section 7.2(f) or Section 6.7(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (vii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse any Indemnified Party under Section 6.7 or this Article 7, or otherwise be liable in connection with this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated

hereby, for any incidental, indirect, special, multiple, exemplary or punitive damages or damages that are not the reasonably foreseeable result of the underling breach or inaccuracy, or any damage based on any type of multiple of any Indemnified Party, except in each case to the extent any such Losses are actually awarded in respect of a Third-Party Claim.

(e) The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 6.7 or this Article 7 shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses or any of the events, conditions, facts or circumstances resulting in or relating to such Losses (“Third-Party Payments”), net of the out-of-pocket cost or expense to recover such payment and any deductible or similar amount not recoverable from the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If an Indemnified Party receives any Third-Party Payment with respect to any Losses for which it has previously been indemnified (directly or indirectly) by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after receiving such Payment) pay to the Indemnifying Party the excess, if any, of (i) the amount the Indemnified Party actually received from the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses over (ii) the amount the Indemnified Party would have received from the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses pursuant to this Agreement had such Third-Party Payment been received prior to the Indemnifying Party being indemnified hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements other than this Agreement for any Losses to the same extent such Party would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder.

(f) The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification, payment or reimbursement under Section 6.7 or this Article 7 shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates, including, in the case of Buyer, the Acquired Group Companies) as of the time of payment or within two years following the event giving rise to such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes paid by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including, in the case of Buyer, the Acquired Group Companies) is reduced below the amount of Taxes that such Persons would have been required to pay but for the Tax benefit, and the term “Tax benefit” shall include any refund of Taxes paid or reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would have been paid due to a deduction, credit or other Tax benefit or allowance arising by reason of the event giving rise to a claim under Section 6.7 or this Article 7. If a Tax benefit is actually realized by an Indemnified Party with respect to, and within two years following, the event giving rise to any Losses for which it has previously been indemnified (directly or indirectly) by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such Tax benefit is actually realized) pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to such actually realized Tax benefit. If a Tax benefit is reasonably available to an Indemnified Party in connection with any such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates (including, in the case of Buyer, any Acquired Group Company) to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tax benefit to be actually realized.

(g) Each of Buyer and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and minimize any Losses subject to

indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7 or this Article 7 promptly upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to such Losses; provided, that, any failure of a Party under this Section 7.4(g) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 7 to the contrary, prior to bringing any claim pursuant to Section 7.2(a) in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of Section 3.8, Buyer shall first be required to exercise its rights under Section 5.8(b) to the extent the application of such Section would cure or mitigate the circumstances giving rise to such breach or inaccuracy.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Buyer or Seller be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse any Indemnified Party for Losses under this Article 7 to the extent such Losses were taken into account in the determination of the Final Adjustment Report pursuant to Section 2.4 or were expressly reserved for in the Financial Statements, as applicable.

Section 7.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) All claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 7.5. A Person entitled to indemnification (a “Claim”) pursuant to this Article 7 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such Claim (a “Claim Notice”), which notice shall include a description, to the extent known, of (i) the basis for, and nature of, such Claim, including the facts constituting the basis for such Claim, and (ii) the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be incurred, suffered or sustained by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim. Any Claim Notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, (A) in the case of a Claim in connection with any Legal Proceeding made or brought by any Person (other than Buyer or Seller in connection with this Agreement) against such Indemnified Party relating to the Acquired Group Companies, their assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), promptly, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days, following receipt of notice of the assertion or commencement of such Legal Proceeding, and (B) in the case of a Claim other than a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), promptly, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the facts constituting the basis for such Direct Claim; provided, however, that no failure to give such prompt written notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith to resolve any Direct Claim for a period of twenty (20) Business Days before commencing any Legal Proceeding in connection with such Claim. “Indemnifying Party” means Seller (in the case of a claim for indemnification by any Buyer Indemnitee) or Buyer (in the case of a claim for indemnification by any Seller Indemnitee).

(b) With respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense with counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is not controlling such defense shall have the right, at

its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it. To the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall consult with the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim. Seller shall be required to consult with Buyer in connection with the matters set forth in Section 7.2(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume in writing control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim or if the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such defense to the Indemnified Party. Each of Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by retaining and providing to the Party controlling such defense records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim and making available employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is controlling such defense shall keep the other Party reasonably advised of the status of such Legal Proceeding and the defense thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement would (A) include a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities or obligations with respect thereto, (B) only call for a cash payment to the Indemnified Party, the full amount of which is indemnified hereunder (other than, if applicable, the amount of the unsatisfied Indemnification Threshold, Healthcare Indemnification Threshold or Sufficiency of Assets Indemnification Threshold, as applicable, and does not impose any Liability or obligation (including any equitable remedies) on the Indemnified Party and (C) not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) an Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing (but subject to Article 6), if (i) defendants in any action include any Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party inconsistent with those available to the Seller, (ii) a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such action or the defense thereof, (iii) the third party seeks an injunction or any equitable remedy that would be binding upon the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) the Third-Party Claim seeks to impose criminal liability on the Indemnified Party or (v) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim (provided that the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of such failure, and the Indemnifying Party fails to cure such failure in five (5) days), then, in each such case, if the Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion so elects, it shall be entitled to employ separate counsel and to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim and all such fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party related to the defense of such Third-Party Claim shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the procedures set forth in this Section 7.5 shall not apply to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7, which shall be governed by Section 6.8.

Section 7.6 Exclusive Remedy; No Duplication; No Right to Set-off

(a) From and after the Closing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (other than claims arising from Fraud) (i) Section 6.7 and this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Seller in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever (whether for indemnification or otherwise) to any Indemnified Party for a breach of this Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the purchase of the Target Securities pursuant hereto, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.7 and this Article 7, and (iii) each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, causes of action, suits, demands and Legal Proceedings (A) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or (B) otherwise relating to or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, that it may have against the other Party and any of such Party’s Affiliates or Representatives arising under or based upon any applicable Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.7 and this Article 7; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.6(a) shall limit the rights or remedies of, or constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies by, any Party pursuant to (or shall otherwise operate to interfere with the operation of) Section 2.4 or Section 8.11. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall have no right of rescission following the Closing with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Any Losses subject to indemnification under Section 6.7 or this Article 7 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses.

(c) Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein or therein, it shall have no right under this Agreement to offset any amounts owed (to become due and owing) to the other Party, whether under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, or otherwise, against any other amount owed (or to become due and owing) to it by the other Party.

Section 8.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Buyer Disclosure Schedules, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and any other agreements, instruments or documents being or to be executed and delivered by a Party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and all inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by the Parties, and they supersede all other prior representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

Section 8.4 Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto and executed by each of the Seller and Buyer.

Section 8.5 Waivers. Buyer or Seller may, at any time, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or (c) waive compliance by the other Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party of any breach of this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach, whether of a similar or different character, unless expressly set forth in such written waiver. Neither any course of conduct or failure or delay of any Party in exercising or enforcing any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, remedy or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power.

Section 8.6 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any situation or in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other term or

provision hereof or the offending term or provision in any other situation or any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible, in a mutually acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent provided in Article 7 and Section 8.14 (the provisions of which shall inure to the benefit of the Persons referenced therein as third-party beneficiaries of such provisions), this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported assignment or delegation in contravention of this Section 8.8 shall be null and void and of no force and effect; provided that Buyer may assign this Agreement and/or its rights hereunder without the consent of any Person to (a) any Affiliate of Buyer, (ii) Buyer’s lenders for collateral security purposes or (iii) any subsequent purchaser of Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of stock or other equity securities); provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence of this Section 8.8, this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 8.9 Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters, claims, controversies, disputes, suits, actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all rights of the Parties (whether sounding in contract, tort, common or statutory law, equity or otherwise) in connection therewith, shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with, and enforced pursuant to, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

Section 8.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial

(a) Each of the Parties hereby (i) agrees and irrevocably consents to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such Legal

Proceeding will be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts, (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the Chosen Courts, (iv) agrees not to bring or support any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether in contract, tort, common or statutory law, equity or otherwise) anywhere other than the Chosen Courts and (v) agrees that a final and non-appealable judgment in any such Legal Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence (A) shall not limit the jurisdiction of the Accounting Firm as set forth in Section 2.4 and (B) shall include any Legal Proceeding brought for the purpose of enforcing the jurisdiction and judgments of the Accounting Firm. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Legal Proceeding brought in any Chosen Court in accordance with this Section 8.10(a). Each of the Parties agrees that the service of any process, summons, notice or document in connection with any such Legal Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.

(b) EACH PARTY (I) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING THAT MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND (II) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATING OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, (C) UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER AND (D) MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY.

Section 8.11 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred hereby, and the exercise by a Party of any one such remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other such remedy.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage and harm would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and that, although monetary damages may be available for such a breach, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by any such Party shall be entitled

to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches hereof and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof. A Party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such order or injunction, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. In the event that any Legal Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, each Party agrees that it shall not allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy available at law.

Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Articles”, “Sections”, “Disclosure Schedules” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement. The Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Buyer Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. Any capitalized terms used in the Seller Disclosure Schedules, Buyer Disclosure Schedules or any Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise: (i) “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation”; (ii) “hereof,” “herein”, “hereby”, “hereto” and “hereunder” shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other item extends and shall not simply mean “if”; (iv) “Dollars” and “$” shall mean United States Dollars; (v) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; (vi) reference to a gender includes the other gender; (vii) “any” shall mean “any and all”; (viii) “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or”; (ix) reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended, supplemented and modified in effect from time to time in accordance with its terms; (x) reference to any Law means such Law as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (xi) the term “pending” shall mean pending (but shall not be construed as referring to any action, suit or proceeding against any Acquired Group Company that has been filed but not yet served on such Acquired Group Company). If the last day of any period or if performance is required on a non-Business Day, the period in question will end on and the performance will be required on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Buyer Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute

or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Buyer Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Buyer Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Buyer Disclosure Schedules is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) References to any document or information having been “delivered” or “made available” by Seller to Buyer shall include Seller or its Representatives having posted any such document or information to the Data Room or otherwise having delivered a copy of such document or information to Buyer (electronically or otherwise) prior to May 6, 2020 (subject to any redactions of information contained therein or restrictions on access to particularly competitively sensitive information as reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by Seller).

(f) The Seller Disclosure Schedules and Buyer Disclosure Schedules shall be arranged in sections that correspond to the Sections of this Agreement to which such sections of the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Buyer Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, relate; provided, however, that the disclosure of any information in any section of such schedules shall also constitute disclosure for purposes of all other Sections of this Agreement with respect to which such disclosure, as it relates to such other Section of this Agreement, is applicable or reasonably apparent on its face without need to examine any underlying document.

Section 8.13 Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement or document.

controlling persons (solely in their capacity as a direct or indirect equityholder of the Acquired Companies) (each, a “Released Seller Person”) from all debts, demands, causes of action, suits, covenants, torts, damages and any and all claims, defenses, offsets, judgments, demands and Liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have been or could have been asserted against any Released Seller Person, that any Releasing Buyer Person has or ever had, that arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the date of this Agreement in respect of matters relating to their equity ownership of the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 8.14(a) does not apply to and shall not constitute a release of (i) any rights or obligations to the extent arising under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or (ii) claims of Fraud.

(b) As of the Closing, the Seller, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries (excluding, as of immediately following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) (each, a Releasing Seller Person”) hereby releases and forever discharges Buyer, the Acquired Group Companies and each of their respective Affiliates, successors, assigns, former, current or future direct or indirect stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, portfolio companies, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, managers, members, trustees, general or limited partners, agents, attorneys or other Representatives (in each case, solely in their capacities as such) (each, a “Released Buyer Person”) from all debts, demands, causes of action, suits, covenants, torts, damages and any and all claims, defenses, offsets, judgments, demands and Liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have been or could have been asserted against any Released Buyer Person, that Seller has or ever had, that arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the date of this Agreement in respect of matters relating to the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 8.14(b) does not apply to and shall not constitute a release of (i) any rights or obligations to the extent arising under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or (ii) claims of Fraud.

Section 8.15 Provision Regarding Legal Representation. Recognizing that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx”) and DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA Piper” and together with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, “Seller’s Counsel”) has acted as legal counsel to Seller Parent, Seller, the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Seller’s Counsel intends to act as legal counsel to Seller and its respective Affiliates (which will no longer include the Acquired Group Companies) after the Closing, Buyer hereby waives (on its own behalf) and agrees to cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Group Companies) to waive, any conflicts arising under such representation that may prevent Seller’s Counsel from representing Seller or any of its respective Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer and the Acquired Companies or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, the Acquired Group Companies and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller’s Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and their respective Affiliates (and not the Acquired Group Companies). Accordingly, the Acquired Group Companies shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of Seller’s Counsel relating to such engagement from and after the Closing, and no actions taken by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to

retain, remove or otherwise protect such communications will be deemed a breach or violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its respective Affiliates (and not the Acquired Group Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement in the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Acquired Group Company shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Seller’s Counsel in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its respective Affiliates (and not the Acquired Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and (c) Seller’s Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Acquired Group Companies by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller’s Counsel and the Acquired Group Companies or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Section 8.15 waives or transfers any attorney-client privilege to the extent relating to Seller’s Counsel representation of the Acquired Group Companies with respect to any of their on-going or routine matters relating to their operations, business, assets or Liabilities (other than in preparation for or otherwise related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and such attorney-client and other privileges shall continue to be the privilege of the Acquired Group Companies. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Buyer or any Acquired Group Companies or an Affiliate, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Party to this Agreement, on the other hand, after the Closing, the Acquired Group Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and DLA Piper to such third party and in any such dispute, Seller and its Affiliates shall not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the applicable Acquired Company.
