SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 5, 2016, is made by and among Halyard Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), Medsystems Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Medsystems Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article X below.

WHEREAS, the Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, which consists of Common Stock (collectively, the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to the Purchaser, all of the Shares;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Seller and certain equityholders of Seller have entered into Restrictive Covenant Agreements to become effective upon the Closing (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreements”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES

1.01 Basic Transaction. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser, all of the Shares owned by the Seller for the consideration specified below in this Article I.

1.02 Purchase and Sale of Shares.

(a) Estimated Purchase Price. The “Estimated Purchase Price” shall mean (i) $174,000,000, plus (ii) the amount by which Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds Target Working Capital (or minus the amount by which Target Working Capital exceeds Estimated Net Working Capital), plus (iii) the total amount of Estimated Cash on Hand, minus (iv) the outstanding amount of Estimated Indebtedness, minus (v) the amount of Estimated Seller Expenses.

(b) Purchase and Sale of Shares. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from the Seller, all of the Shares for and in consideration of the Purchase Price, subject to the adjustments and payable in such amounts and at such times as provided herein.

1.03 The Closing.

(a) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP located at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx at 10:00 a.m. on the second business day following full satisfaction or due waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in Article II hereof (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions) or on such other date as is mutually agreeable to the Purchaser and the Seller; provided, that the Closing shall not occur prior to May 1, 2016. The date and time of the Closing are referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” By mutual agreement of the parties, the Closing may take place by conference call and electronic (i.e., email/pdf) or facsimile delivery, with exchange of original signatures to follow by overnight mail.

1.04 The Closing Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto shall consummate the following transactions (the “Closing Transactions”) on the Closing Date:

(i) the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser all of the stock certificates evidencing the Shares, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers or other forms of assignment and transfer;

(ii) the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller the Estimated Purchase Price (less the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Seller Holdback Amount) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Seller (which account(s) shall be designated by the Seller to the Purchaser in writing at least two business days before the Closing Date);

(iii) the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser appropriate payoff letters from the holders of Indebtedness set forth on the Indebtedness Payoff Schedule and shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser for such holders of such Indebtedness set forth on the Indebtedness Payoff Schedule to deliver all related Lien releases to the Purchaser as soon as practicable after the Closing;

(iv) the Purchaser shall, in accordance with the payoff letters, repay, or cause to be repaid, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all amounts necessary to discharge fully the then outstanding balance of the Indebtedness set forth on the Indebtedness Payoff Schedule, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the holders of such Indebtedness;

(v) the Purchaser shall deliver the Indemnity Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent;

(vi) the Purchaser shall deliver the Seller Holdback Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller; and

(vii) the Purchaser and the Seller shall make such other deliveries as are required by Article II hereof.

1.05 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) At least two business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries estimated as of the Closing Date and (ii) a statement showing the Company’s good faith estimate of Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), Cash on Hand (the “Estimated Cash on Hand”), Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”) and Seller Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing (the “Estimated Seller Expenses”) and the resulting calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price as set forth in Section 1.02(a). The Estimated Purchase Price shall be prepared using the accounting principles set forth on the Statement of Accounting Principles set forth on Schedule 1.05. A sample calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price as if the Closing Date had occurred on December 31, 2015 is set forth on Schedule 1.05.

(b) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Seller (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a statement showing the Purchaser’s calculation of Net Working Capital, Cash on Hand, Indebtedness and Seller Expenses (together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) and the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared using the accounting principles set forth on the Statement of Accounting Principles set forth on Schedule 1.05. The parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and determining Net Working Capital, Cash on Hand, Indebtedness and Seller Expenses and the related purchase price adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.05(b) is to measure the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Cash on Hand, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Seller Expenses, on the one hand, and the actual Net Working Capital, Cash on Hand, Indebtedness and Seller Expenses, on the other hand, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies as those set forth on the Statement of Accounting Principles is set forth on Schedule 1.05. After delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Purchaser shall give the Seller and its accountants reasonable access to review the Purchaser’s, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records and work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement. The Seller and its accountants may make inquiries of the Purchaser and the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Closing Statement arising in the course of its review thereof, and the Purchaser shall use its, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use their, commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants to cooperate with and promptly respond to such inquiries. If, after using commercially reasonable efforts to review such books and records and work papers and to make such inquiries, the Seller has any good faith objections to the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement setting forth its good faith objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to the Purchaser within 45 days after delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 30 days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit such dispute to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or such other mutually acceptable dispute resolution firm (the “Dispute Resolution Firm”). Any further submissions to the Dispute Resolution Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Objections Statement as being items which the

Seller and the Purchaser are unable to resolve. The Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination will be based solely on the definitions of Net Working Capital, Cash on Hand, Indebtedness and Seller Expenses, as applicable, contained in this Agreement and calculated using the Statement of Accounting Principles set forth on Schedule 1.05. The Seller and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable and in any event within 60 days after the submission of any dispute. Further, the Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the submissions by the Purchaser and the Seller which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement and the Statement of Accounting Principles set forth on Schedule 1.05 (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto, and any party may seek to enforce such decision in a court of competent jurisdiction. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be allocated between the Purchaser and the Seller based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested in the presentation to the Dispute Resolution Firm. For example, if the Seller submits an Objections Statement for $1,000, and if the Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Seller, and if the Dispute Resolution Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e. 300/500) to the Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Seller.

For purposes hereof, “Purchase Price” means an aggregate amount equal to (i) $174,000,000, plus (ii) the amount by which Net Working Capital exceeds Target Working Capital (or minus the amount by which Target Working Capital exceeds Net Working Capital), plus (iii) the total amount of Cash on Hand, minus (iv) the outstanding amount of Indebtedness, minus (v) the amount of Seller Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing, and “Final Purchase Price” means the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.05(b), as applicable.

(i) If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five business days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price) deliver to the Seller the amount of such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller.

(ii) If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Seller shall promptly (but in any event within five business days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price) pay the Purchaser the amount of such shortfall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Purchaser. At any time in its sole discretion, the Purchaser may collect the amount of such shortfall from the Indemnity Escrow Account

(d) This Section 1.05 is not intended to be used to adjust for errors or omissions that may be found with respect to the Latest Balance Sheet or any other balance sheet referenced in Section 3.05 or any inconsistencies between the Latest Balance Sheet or any other balance sheet referenced in Section 3.05 and GAAP.

1.06 Withholding Rights. The Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of Law; provided that, if the Purchaser or its designee determines that an amount is required to be deducted and withheld, at least five business days prior to the date the applicable payment is scheduled to be made, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with written notice of the intent to deduct and withhold, which shall include a copy of the calculation of the amount to be deducted and withheld and, to the extent practicable, provide the Seller a reasonable opportunity for it to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall disclose to the Company in writing its knowledge of any material breach of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV as applicable, and of any other fact or event that would cause or constitute a material breach of the covenants in this Agreement made by the Purchaser, in each case, reasonably promptly in light of the circumstances upon discovery thereof. The Purchaser may, from time to time prior to the Closing, by notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provide a Schedule Supplement in order to add information relating to or resulting from facts or events occurring subsequent to the execution of this Agreement. In the event that the Purchaser provides any Schedule Supplement, the matters set forth on such Schedule Supplement shall not be effective to cure and correct for purposes of Article II any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant which would have existed if the Purchaser had not provided such Schedule Supplement. In the event that prior to the Closing Date the

Purchaser provides to the Seller notification pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.02 of the failure of any condition in Article II as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Purchaser due to facts or events occurring subsequent to the execution of this Agreement that, but for this Section 6.02, would entitle the Seller not to consummate the Closing (a “Purchaser Termination Update”), the Company and the Seller may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01. If the Seller consummates the Closing after receiving a Purchaser Termination Update, the Seller shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights, remedies or other recourse against the Purchaser to which the Seller might otherwise be entitled in respect of the breach set forth in such Purchaser Termination Update, including any rights or remedies under Article VII, and such Purchaser Termination Update shall be effective to cure and correct for all other purposes any such breach of any representation, warranty or covenant which would have existed if the Purchaser had not provided such Purchaser Termination Update. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any matter set forth on a Purchaser Termination Update have any impact on any rights, remedies or other recourse of Seller under Section 7.03(b). All references to any Disclosure Schedule hereto which is supplemented or amended as provided in this Section 6.02 shall for all purposes after the Closing be deemed to be a reference to such Disclosure Schedule as so supplemented or amended. If the Seller consummates the Closing after receiving any Schedule Supplement that is not a Purchaser Termination Update, the Seller shall be entitled to exercise any rights or remedies pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the breach that would be cured by such Schedule Supplement, including any rights or remedies under Article VII, and such Schedule Supplement shall not be effective to cure and correct for any purpose any such breach of any representation, warranty or covenant which would have existed if the Purchaser had not provided such Schedule Supplement.

6.03 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification. For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries articles of incorporation or bylaws relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any current or former officer or director (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) (unless required by Law), it being the intent of the parties that the D&O Indemnified Persons shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the fullest extent of the Law. At the Closing, the Purchaser will, or will cause the Company to, obtain, maintain and fully pay for, at the Seller’s sole expense, irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming the D&O Indemnified Persons as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser will not, or will cause the Company to not, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect. If the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section. The provisions of this Section 6.03 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person and his or her heirs and representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have had by contract or otherwise.

6.04 Regulatory Filings; Cooperation.

(a) The Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made all filings and submissions required under the HSR Act. The Purchaser agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to expeditiously consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If suit or other action is threatened or instituted by any Governmental Authority or other entity challenging the validity or legality, or seeking to restrain the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid, resist, resolve or, if necessary, defend such suit or action and shall use reasonable best efforts to take any steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the Outside Date). The Purchaser shall be responsible for all filing fees under the HSR Act and under any such other Laws or regulations applicable to the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall coordinate and cooperate fully with the Seller and the Company in exchanging information and providing such assistance as the Seller and the Company may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of the HSR Act waiting period.

(b) The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with any filings or investigations with, by or before any Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any proceedings initiated by a private party. If the Purchaser receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to which any such filings have been made, then the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the Company, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, to the extent reasonably practicable and unless prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority, the Purchaser agrees to (i) give reasonable advance notice to the Company of all meetings or teleconferences with any Governmental Authority relating to the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, (ii) provide the Company and Seller with an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings or teleconferences, (iii) keep the Company reasonably apprised with respect to any oral communications with any Governmental Authority regarding the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (iv) cooperate in the filing of any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or other written communications explaining or defending the transactions contemplated hereby, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority, (v) provide the Company and Seller with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon, and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to, all written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and opinions) with a Governmental Authority regarding the transactions

contemplated hereby, (vi) provide the Company (or its counsel, as appropriate) with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and (vii) cooperate and provide the Company and Seller with a reasonable opportunity to participate in, and consider in good faith their views with respect to, all material deliberations with respect to all efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2.01(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.04(b), materials provided to the other Parties or its outside counsel may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning valuation, (ii) as necessary (based on the advice of outside legal counsel) to protect reasonable attorney-client or other legal privilege, or (iii) as required by applicable Law. Any such disclosures, rights to participate or provisions of information may be made on a counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable Law or as appropriate to protect confidential business information.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will Purchaser be obligated to propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, to enter into any consent decree, to make any divestiture, to accept any operational restriction, or take any other action that, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, would be expected to have a material adverse impact on any of its businesses, or the businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement, either individually or in the aggregate. With regards to any Governmental Authority, neither the Company, the Seller nor any of its respective affiliates shall, without Purchaser’s written consent (in Purchaser’s sole discretion), discuss or commit to any divestiture transaction, or discuss or commit to alter their businesses or commercial practices in any way, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits Purchaser’s freedom of action with respect to, or Purchaser’s ability to retain any of the businesses, product lines or assets of, the Company or otherwise receive the full benefits of this Agreement.

(c) None of the Parties shall: (i) directly or indirectly acquire or agree to acquire (by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner), any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (A) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any permits, orders or other approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (B) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority seeking an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (C) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise, or (D) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) None of the Parties shall extend (or take any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of extending) any waiting or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the Transaction, except with the prior written consent of the other Parties. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.05 Conditions. The Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.02 to be satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein as soon as reasonably possible after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article II (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing).

6.06 Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Representatives shall contact and communicate with the employees (other than the persons set forth on Schedule 6.06), customers and suppliers of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby only after prior consultation with and approval of the Seller.

6.07 Employment and Benefit Arrangements. The Purchaser shall take all actions required so that employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date shall receive service credit for periods of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility and vesting, for purposes of determining future vacation or paid time off accruals and for purposes of determining severance benefits under any employee benefit plans and arrangements in which they participate following the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any applicable waiting periods, pre-existing conditions or actively-at-work requirements and shall give such employees credit under the new coverages or benefit plans for deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket payments that have been paid during the year in which the Closing Date occurs. This Section 6.07 shall survive the Closing, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries. During the twelve month period following the Closing, Purchaser shall take all actions required so that the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Closing Date) that continue to be employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date receive base compensation, bonus opportunities and benefits that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than that provided immediately prior to the Closing Date. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended by the parties to constitute a plan amendment or to create any obligations of the parties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.01 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants, Agreements and Other Provisions. Except to the extent a different period is expressly set forth herein, (i) the representations, warranties, and covenants (other than with respect to the covenants contained in Section 9.01 which shall survive, subject to clause (iii) below, until the obligations set forth therein are fully performed in accordance with the terms thereof), agreements and other provisions in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on the date which is 18 months after the Closing Date; provided that (i) all covenants to be performed after the Closing Date shall survive in accordance with their terms, (ii) the Fundamental Representations, any claims made pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(ii), and any claims made pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(iii) shall survive the Closing and terminate on the date which is three years after the Closing Date, and (iii) any claims for Indemnified Taxes, Indebtedness and Seller Expenses shall survive the Closing and terminate on the date which is four years after the Closing Date (each such date, the “Survival Period Termination Date”).

nature of the claim for indemnification is delivered by the Person seeking indemnification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought prior to the applicable Survival Period Termination Date, in which case the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is the subject of such claim shall survive, to the extent of such claim only, until such claim is resolved.

7.02 Indemnification for the Benefit of the Purchaser.

(a) From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article VII), the Seller, solely from amounts available in the Indemnity Escrow Account, shall indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any Loss suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents and their respective successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) resulting or arising from:

(i) any nonfulfillment or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision (other than any breaches by the Company of covenants or agreements of the Company herein following the Closing or any breaches of those representations specified on Schedule 7.02(a)(ii)) set forth herein by the Company or the Seller or in any certificate delivered hereunder, in each case taking into account any disclosure made pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof;

(ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any representation or warranty set forth on Schedule 7.02(a)(ii), taking into account any disclosure made pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof (collectively, such items the “Specified Representations”);

(iii) any of the items set forth on Schedule 7.02(a)(iii);

(iv) all Indemnified Taxes; and

(v) all Indebtedness and Seller Expenses (to the extent not included in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price);

provided that, (A) in each case no such claims shall be asserted under Section 7.02(a)(i) (other than with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Representations or nonfulfillment of any covenant of the Seller to be performed following the Closing) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable hereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $1,305,000 (the “R&W Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the R&W Deductible; (B) in each case no such claims shall be asserted under Section 7.02(a)(ii) or under Section 7.02(a)(iii) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable hereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $870,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible; (C) no individual claim by the Purchaser shall be asserted under Section 7.02(a)(i) or under Section 7.02(a)(ii) (other than with respect to breaches of the Product Liability Representations or breaches of the last sentence of Section 3.05(a)) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would be payable pursuant to such claim exceeds an amount equal to $10,000 (the “Mini-Basket”), and then from the first dollar of such Losses (it being understood that any such individual claims for amounts less than the Mini-Basket shall be ignored in determining whether

the R&W Deductible or the Deductible has been exceeded and thereafter); (D) no individual claim by the Purchaser shall be asserted under Section 7.02(a)(ii) with respect to breaches of the Product Liability Representations unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would be payable pursuant to such claim exceeds an amount equal to $50,000 (the “Product Liability Representation Mini-Basket”), and then from the first dollar of such Losses (it being understood that any such individual claims for amounts less than the Product Liability Representation Mini-Basket shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded and thereafter); (E) no individual claim by the Purchaser shall be asserted under Section 7.02(a)(i) with respect to breaches of the last sentence of Section 3.05(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would be payable pursuant to such claim exceeds an amount equal to $30,000 (the “Financial Statements Mini-Basket”), and then from the first dollar of such Losses (it being understood that any such individual claims for amounts less than the Financial Statements Mini-Basket shall be ignored in determining whether the R&W Deductible has been exceeded and thereafter); (F) Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 7.02(a)(i) (solely from amounts available in the Indemnity Escrow Account) shall in no event exceed $1,305,000; and (G) Seller will not be liable for any Losses resulting or arising from the termination, amendment or other modification of the Plans by or at the direction of the Purchaser on or after the Closing Date, except to the extent such Losses result or arise from a breach of Section 3.13(h).

(b) Following the Closing, except for claims based on common law fraud with respect to this Agreement, the indemnification from the Indemnity Escrow Account provided by Section 7.02(a) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any loss, liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost, damage, deficiency, Tax, penalty, fine or expense, whether or not arising out of third party claims (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs and all reasonable amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing) of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representations or warranties or any breach or failure in performance prior to Closing of any covenants or agreements made by the Seller, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in this Agreement or in any exhibit or schedules hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder (including with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters).

(c) No claim shall be brought or maintained by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, employee (present or former) or Affiliate of any party hereto which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder, except for claims based on fraud with respect to this Agreement.

(d) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have no right to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Loss to the extent such Loss is included in the calculation of any component of Final Purchase Price.

(e) All payments pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds payable to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof.

(f) (i) Except for the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, no Person (including, without limitation, the Seller or any of its Affiliates) shall have any obligation to fund the Indemnity Escrow Account, (ii) except for the amount to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have, prior to the applicable Survival Period Termination Date, previously made a claim pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VII or Article IX and for which the obligations to indemnify, if any, shall not have been satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Amount (the “Outstanding Escrow Claims”), title and all rights to all funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account shall automatically transfer to the Seller on the last applicable Survival Period Termination Date, and (iii) the Purchaser shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Escrow Agent to release all funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account, less the amount of the Outstanding Escrow Claims to the Seller on the applicable Survival Period Termination Date. As soon as the Outstanding Escrow Claims are resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article VII or Article IX, as applicable, the Purchaser shall cause the Escrow Agent to release any remaining cash held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement to the Seller.

(g) The Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any environmental matter or condition shall be limited to matters that are not instigated or prompted by a Purchaser Indemnified Party unless affirmatively required by Environmental and Safety Requirements, and Seller’s indemnity obligation shall not apply to any environmental matter or condition that is discovered or detected by any sampling, investigation, or reporting by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party that is not affirmatively required by Environmental and Safety Requirements. Except to the extent otherwise required of the Company or its subsidiaries under any existing agreement with the owner of the applicable real property, the Seller’s indemnity obligation shall be limited to such cost effective action that is required by Environmental and Safety Requirements to attain compliance with minimum applicable remedial standards for continued commercial or industrial use of the relevant property or facility, employing where applicable risk-based remedial standards and institutional controls, where such standards or controls would not unreasonably interfere with ongoing commercial or industrial operations at the relevant property or facility.

7.03 Indemnification by the Purchaser for the Benefit of the Seller. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article VII), the Seller shall be entitled to assert, as its sole and exclusive remedy for any action relating (directly or indirectly) to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, claims against the Purchaser in respect of any Loss suffered or incurred by the Seller or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents (“Seller Indemnified Parties”) to the extent resulting or arising from (a) any nonfulfillment or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision set forth herein by the Purchaser or in any or certificate delivered hereunder, and (b) any actions taken by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with Section 5.08; provided, in each case, that in no event shall the Seller Indemnified Parties be entitled to indemnification for amounts that exceed $17,400,000 in the aggregate.

7.04 Mitigation. Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses, costs, and expenses as required by applicable Law.

7.05 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) Any Person making a claim for indemnification under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 (an “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party), describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby. Except as provided in Section 9.01(f), any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option (upon providing written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days of receiving notice of the third party claim) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided that any Indemnitor shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation on any claims contained herein; provided further the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee.

(b) The Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnitee; (iii) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of such counsel, that the same counsel represent both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor; (iv) upon petition by the Indemnitee, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim; (v) the claim would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s reputation, customer or supplier relations or future business prospects, or (vi) the Losses relating to such claim would reasonably be expected to result in liabilities which, taken with other then existing Losses under this Article VII, would exceed the then-remaining limit of liability of such Indemnitor.

(c) If the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to settle such claim; provided, that, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned, or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim. If the Seller as Indemnitor assumes the defense of and/or settles or compromises any third party claim as provided herein and the Deductible applies to such claim and has not been met with respect to the Indemnitor’s liability under Section 7.02, then (i) until such time as the Deductible has been met, the Indemnitee will promptly reimburse the Indemnitor for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in the

assumption of such defense and (ii) if the settlement or compromise of such third party claim is equal to or less than the remaining Deductible at such time (after taking into account any reimbursements pursuant to clause (i) above), then within five (5) business days after the settlement or compromise of such claim, the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnitor the aggregate amount of the third party claim settled or compromised up to the amount of the then remaining Deductible. In no event will an Indemnitee consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any third party claim for which Indemnitee is seeking an indemnification payment hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned, or delayed).

(d) Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of Section 7.05 or anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 7.05 shall not apply with respect to any Tax Proceeding which shall be governed by Section 9.01(f).

7.06 Determination of Loss Amount.

(a) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax Benefit actually realized by the Indemnitee or any of their Affiliates on account of such Loss and (ii) any insurance proceeds (net of direct collection expenses) or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnitee from any third party with respect thereto. If the Indemnitee or its Affiliates actually realizes a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it but prior to the date that is four years after the later of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the date the Loss was suffered or incurred, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitor the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is actually realized by the Indemnitee. Additionally, if, in connection with the settlement of an audit, examination or similar proceeding, a Governmental Authority adjusts any Tax Benefit after such payment is made to the Indemnitor but prior to the date that is four years after the later of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the date the Loss was suffered or incurred, the Indemnitor shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee the amount of such adjustment (but not in excess of the amount of any such Tax Benefit so adjusted) after the Indemnitee provides notice of such settlement of such adjustment with the Governmental Authority (together with any supporting work papers, schedules and documents). For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” means the Tax savings actually realized by an Indemnitee or its Affiliates that is attributable to any deduction, loss, or credit, resulting from or arising out of a Loss, calculated by computing the amount of Taxes before and after inclusion of any such Tax deduction, loss or credit (treating such items of Tax deduction, loss or credit as the last items claimed), and any such Tax savings shall be treated as actually realized upon the filing the Tax Return reflecting such Tax savings. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnitee with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of direct collection expenses) shall be made promptly to the Indemnitor. If an Indemnitor makes an indemnification payment hereunder, such Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all related rights of the Indemnitees and their Affiliates in respect of any Losses indemnified by the Indemnitors.

(b) The Purchaser shall not have any right to indemnification with respect to Taxes and related Losses under Section 7.02(a) or otherwise under this Agreement to the extent such Taxes or related Losses (i) are attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent the Loss or Tax is attributable to a breach of the representation in Section 3.08(k), (ii) are due to the unavailability in the Post-Closing Tax Period of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attribute from the Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) result from any breach of the covenant in Section 9.01(c).

(c) For the purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty, or the amount of any Loss related to a breach of a representation or warranty, the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in the first sentence of Section 3.06 or any representation or warranty merely requiring the listing of a material item) shall be considered without regard to any materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification set forth therein.

7.07 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification of the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VII shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnitor to an account designated by the Indemnitee within ten (10) days after the determination thereof.

7.08 No Circular Recovery. Under no circumstances shall Seller or any of its Affiliates seek any contribution from, or any other recourse to or claim against, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder and, as of the Closing, the Seller (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby fully and irrevocably releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives, affiliates, members, shareholders, partners, officers, directors and employees and successors or assigns, in each case, from any and all Losses which any Seller or its Affiliates may have after the Closing Date related to or arising out of claims for indemnification by Purchaser Indemnified Parties against Seller.

7.09 Acknowledgment of the Purchaser; No Reliance. Except as expressly provided in Article III, the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Seller do not make or provide, and the Purchaser hereby waives, any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, as for a particular purpose, conformity to samples, or condition of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets or any part thereto. In connection with the Purchaser’s investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Purchaser may have received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain business plan information. The Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that the Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and that the Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including, without limitation, the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that none of the Seller, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including, without limitation, the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts, and

that the Purchaser has not relied on any such estimates, projections or other forecasts or plans.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, neither the Seller nor the Company makes any representation or warranty hereunder with respect to any matter, event, transaction, agreement, act or omission occurring or in existence prior to the Acquisition Date, and the Seller and the Company hereby disclaim any such representation or warranty.

ARTICLE IX

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

9.01 Tax Matters.

(a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending prior to or including the Closing Date if the due date of any such Tax Return (including extensions) is after the Closing Date but only if such Tax Return was not filed on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, “Purchaser Returns”); provided that, the Purchaser Returns (A) shall only include such Tax Returns with respect to jurisdictions in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries previously filed Tax Returns with respect to the applicable subject matter unless mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller or there is a change in applicable Law after the date hereof that affirmatively requires it and (B) shall exclude any Tax Returns and Voluntary Disclosure Agreements (and any related documents) to be filed

pursuant to Section 9.02. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed consistent with the past practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except as otherwise required by applicable Law including the most recent Tax practices as to elections and accounting methods of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that, with respect to the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns under this Section 9.01(a) with respect to Income Taxes for the period including the Closing Date, such Tax Returns shall reflect all applicable Seller Transaction Tax Deductions that are “more likely than not” deductible (or deductible at a higher confidence level) in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and, for that purpose, the parties agree that 70% of the fees with respect to agreements set forth on Schedule 9.01(a) as success-based fees for which the safe harbor election of Rev. Proc. 2011-29 is made (which election shall be made on such Tax Returns to the extent applicable) are “more likely than not” deductible and shall be reflected on such Tax Return. The Purchaser will not permit the Company or any Subsidiary to waive any carryback period with respect to Income Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall carryback any item of loss, credit, or deduction to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law (using any available short-form or accelerated procedures (including filing IRS Form 1139 and any corresponding form for applicable state, local and foreign tax purposes) and filing amended Tax Returns to the extent necessary). The Purchaser shall be entitled to offset all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of preparing and filing any Tax Return to carryback any such item to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including the cost of any tax memorandum or opinion required in the reasonable discretion of the Purchaser related to such Tax Return, against any refund payable to the Seller under Section 9.01(h); provided that any such offset shall not exceed $50,000 and shall not be available with respect to out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred for any tax issues addressed in written advice from Ernst & Young LLC that is paid for by the Seller and received by the Purchaser or its agents prior to the date hereof. At least 30 days prior to the date on which any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including for any Straddle Period) is filed (or, if such due date is within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), the Purchaser shall submit such Tax Return to the Seller for the Seller’s review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to any Tax Return for Income Taxes required to be filed pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) (including any Tax Returns required to carryback any items), the Purchaser shall cause all such Tax Returns to be filed by the earlier of (A) November 30, 2016, or (B) the due date of such Tax Returns.

(b) Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser will pay, and will indemnify and hold the Seller harmless against, any transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, excise tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the Company or the Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including by promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(c) Pre-Closing Tax Matters. After the Closing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) other than Tax Returns that are filed pursuant to Section 9.01(a), file or amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) after the date any Tax Return filed pursuant to Section 9.01(a) is filed, amend or otherwise modify any such Tax Return, (iii) extend or waive, or cause

to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) make or change any Tax election or accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (v) make or initiate any voluntary contact with a Governmental Authority regarding Taxes in any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided that, subject to Section 9.02, none of the foregoing limitations in this Section 9.01(c) shall limit the rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries from (A) registering to collect and remit sales and use taxes for any tax period beginning after the Closing Date and (B) filing income Tax Returns for any tax period beginning after the Closing Date.

(d) No Section 338 or 336 Election. The Purchaser shall not make any election under Code §338 or §336 (or any similar provisions under applicable Law) with respect to the acquisition of the Company and its Affiliates.

(e) Records. At the request of the Seller, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller copies of all Tax Returns relating to the tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing prepared in accordance with Section 9.01(a).

(f) Tax Proceedings. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall have the sole right in its discretion and its own expense to elect to represent the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any claim, audit, examination or administrative or court proceeding relating to any audits or assessments or other disputes (including any settlement or disposition thereof) (“Tax Proceeding”) regarding any Taxes (or any Tax Return filed by the Company or its Subsidiaries) with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods if Purchaser is entitled to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement with respect to such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall also be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding at its own expense. If the Seller does not make such election, then the Purchaser shall control such Tax Proceeding. The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller in writing upon receiving notice from any taxing authority of the commencement of any such Tax Proceeding, and the Purchaser shall take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing a power of attorney) to enable the Seller to exercise its control rights as set forth in this Section 9.01(f).

(g) Cooperation; Seller Transaction Tax Deductions. Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 9.01 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes and with respect to the voluntary disclosure process described in Section 9.02 (and with respect to obtaining any applicable exemption certificates or other documents pursuant to Section 9.02(e)) and the computation and verification of any amounts paid or payable under this Section 9.01 (including any supporting work papers, schedules and documents). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company or its Subsidiaries relating to any tax periods and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered

into with any Taxing authority and shall give the Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for that tax period, and if the Seller so requests, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall allow the Seller to take possession of such books and records rather than destroying or discarding such books and records. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with preparing the Tax Returns with respect to Income Taxes for the period including the Closing Date described in Section 9.01(a), (i) no later than 10 days after the Closing, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with information as to the individual items of and approximate amounts of Seller Transaction Tax Deductions, and (ii) within 60 days after Closing, the Purchaser shall provide written notice (including any supporting work papers, schedules, memoranda, or documents) to the Seller with respect to (A) the amount of Seller Transaction Tax Deductions that are “more likely than not” deductible (or deductible at a higher confidence level) in the Pre-Closing Tax Period (taking into account the proviso in Section 9.01(a)) and (B) the amount of any Seller Transaction Tax Deductions that, assuming payment of all amounts in accordance with this Agreement and no indemnity claims hereunder, would be “more likely than not” deductible (or deductible at a higher confidence level) in any Post-Closing Tax Period (collectively, the “Deduction Statement”). If the Seller has any objection to the Deduction Statement, it shall inform the Purchaser, in writing, within 45 days after receiving the Deduction Statement. The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute and the deduction Statement shall be modified accordingly. If the Seller and the Purchaser do not reach a final resolution within 90 days after the Purchaser’s delivery of the Deduction Statement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit any unresolved items regarding the Deduction Statement to a mutually agreed (including mutual agreement as to any engagement letter and any other terms and conditions of the engagement) nationally recognized accounting firm for prompt resolution. The determination of the independent accounting firm with respect to such matters shall be binding on all Parties and Tax Returns shall be filed consistent with such resolution. The fees, costs and expenses of any nationally recognized accounting firm to which such unresolved items are submitted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be borne one half by the Purchaser on the one hand, and one half by the Seller, on the other hand.

(h) Tax Refunds. After the Closing Date, except to the extent (A) included as an asset in (including to the extent such asset is taken into account as a contra liability that reduces a liability that is taken into account in the calculation of) Indebtedness or Net Working Capital as finally determined hereunder, or (B) attributable to the carryback of any loss, deduction or credit from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall be entitled to all Tax refunds (and Overpayment Credits) received by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Tax refunds attributable to the carryback of items under Section 9.01(a) above) to the extent attributable to (i) Taxes paid by or on behalf the Company or the Subsidiary on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) Indemnified Taxes for which the Seller (including from the Indemnity Escrow Account) has indemnified the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder, or (iii) Taxes included as a Seller Expense or Indebtedness or as a liability in Net Working Capital (in each case, as finally determined hereunder). Purchaser will pay over to the Seller any such Tax refund promptly (but in all cases within five business days) after actual receipt of such Tax refund (or, in the case of any Overpayment Credits, promptly (but in all cases within five business days) upon filing the applicable Tax Return where such Overpayment Credit is used to reduce Taxes otherwise

payable); provided that, any such payments to the Seller be reduced by any costs and expenses attributable to the delivery of such Tax refund (or application of Overpayment Credits) to the Seller. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Purchaser shall request a refund (rather than a credit in lieu of a refund) with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. For the avoidance of doubt, any refund or credit from a Seller Transaction Tax Deduction deductible in, or carried forward to, any Post-Closing Tax Period shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser.

(i) Closing of Tax Periods. The parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Tax purposes, and the Purchaser shall cause the Company and its domestic Subsidiaries to join the Purchaser’s “consolidated group” (as used in Treasury Regulations §1.1502-76) effective on the day after the Closing Date. The parties agree that (A) the Purchaser and its Affiliates and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not make an election under Treasury Regulations §1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or any make any similar election or ratably allocate items under any corresponding provision of applicable Law) and (B) none of the Seller Transaction Tax Deductions are “properly allocable” to the portion of the Closing Date after the sale of the Shares for purposes of applying the “next day” rule of Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) and, therefore, none of the Seller Transaction Tax Deductions shall be treated as occurring on the day after the Closing Date under the next-day rule; provided that, if the “next day” rule in Treasury Regulation §1.1502-76 is amended prior to the filing of the applicable Tax Return with respect to Income Taxes for the period including the Closing Date and the effective/applicability date of such amended next day rule is for a consolidated return year that includes such period, then the amended “next day” rule shall be applied so that none of the Seller Transaction Tax Deductions shall be treated as occurring on the day after the Closing Date under the amended “next day” rule so long as such position is “more likely than not” correct (or correct at a higher confidence level).

(j) Straddle Periods. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes among a Straddle Period, Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries based on or measured by income, gross or net sales, or payments or receipts shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and any other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period on a per diem basis.

(k) 280G. The Company will (a), no later than three days prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each “disqualified individual” with respect to the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code) who is entitled to receive any payments or benefits that could constitute a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code) (each such person, a “280G Individual”) a waiver of such 280G Individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that all remaining payments and/or benefits, if any, shall not be deemed to be parachute payments; and (b) prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each 280G Individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (a), submit to a stockholder vote (along with adequate disclosure satisfying the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder) the right of any such 280G Individual to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. Prior to soliciting such waivers and approval, the Company shall provide drafts

of such waivers and approval materials (including the written consent of stockholders in lieu of special meeting of stockholders) to the Purchaser for its review (including the ability to review source information) and approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Purchaser and its Affiliates agree to not provide or enter into any arrangement, separately or in the aggregate with any existing arrangements, with any disqualified individual on or prior to the Closing Date that would provide for any “parachute payments.”

9.02 Voluntary Disclosure Process.

(a) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date (the “Notice Period”), the Seller shall provide written notice to the Purchaser whether it desires to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to seek to enter into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with respect to any Identified State. If, prior to the end of the Notice Period, the Seller provides written notice that it wants the Company or any Subsidiary to seek to enter into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with respect to any sales and/or use taxes (including any applicable interest and penalties) that may be owed to any Identified State (each such jurisdiction, a “Designated State”), then the Company or applicable Subsidiary, at the direction and control of the Seller, will promptly initiate the process for entering into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with respect to each Designated State; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall also be entitled to participate in such process at its own expense. For each Identified State that is not a Designated State, the Company or applicable Subsidiary shall not initiate the process for entering into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement or otherwise enter into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement.

(b) Promptly following the Closing Date (but in any event no later than 15 days after the Closing Date), the Seller on behalf of the Company or applicable Subsidiary for each Designated State shall prepare a draft letter addressed to the applicable Designated State indicating the intention of the Company or applicable Subsidiary to enter into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement as promptly as practicable after Closing Date. After the submission of such letter to the applicable Designated State, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide any necessary information and documents to the applicable Designated State in order to negotiate and finalize and enter into a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with such Designated State.

(c) All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of preparing, filing and negotiating the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement in each Designated State (including any professional fees and expenses in connection therewith incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary) shall be paid by the Seller solely out of the Indemnity Escrow Account.

(d) Prior to the submission to a Designated State of the letter described in Section 9.02(b) or any other documents or materials to a Designated State (including the required calculations and final payment with respect to the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement in a Designated State), the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a copy of such letter, documents, materials and calculations (and supporting work papers, documentation and copies of applicable exemption certificates, if any) to be submitted to the Designated State for the Purchaser’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Purchaser disagrees with any of the items to be submitted to the Designated State and provides written notice to Seller of such disagreement within five days, the parties agree to send such

disagreement to the Dispute Resolution Firm for an independent resolution of such disagreement, which resolution shall be final and binding on all parties hereto and the calculations and documents submitted to the Designated State shall conform to such resolution. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm with respect to the resolution of such disagreement shall be borne by Purchaser unless the Dispute Resolution Firm agrees with Purchaser’s proposed calculations and documents to be submitted with respect to the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (in which case the costs and expenses shall be borne by the Seller).

(e) After the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall cause the Company or any applicable Subsidiary to) (A) cooperate with the Seller to the extent reasonably requested by the Seller with respect to the voluntary disclosure process described in this Section 9.02 (including the requirements outlined in Section 9.02(g)) and (B) use reasonable best efforts to timely obtain exemption certificates from customers with respect to each of the Identified States.

(f) After the Closing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (and the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to) register (including completing or preparing any applications or accompanying documents) with respect to any Designated State to begin filing, remitting or paying sales and/or use taxes until (A) the date described in the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement on which such Designated State permits the Company to begin filing, remitting or paying sales and/or use taxes in such Designated State or (B) if earlier, the date on which such Designated State permits the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to begin filing, remitting or paying sales and/or use taxes as part of and without jeopardizing or otherwise compromising the voluntary disclosure process; provided that, notwithstanding the above, the parties agree that the Company and its Subsidiaries are permitted to begin collecting sales and/or use tax (but not registering, filing, remitting or paying such sales and/or use tax to any Designated State) with respect to any Designated State on the Closing Date. Within five days of the first instance of collection of sales and/or use taxes in each Designated State, the Purchaser shall inform the Seller of such collection so that Seller can represent such fact in any letter requesting a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement that is submitted after the Closing Date. Any sales and/or use tax collected with respect to any Designated State prior to finalizing the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement being entered into with the applicable Designated State shall be held in trust for the Designated State and any such collected sales and/or use Taxes shall be remitted to the Designated State (A) as required by the Designated State in connection with the execution of the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (to the extent the period during which such sales and/or use taxes are collected are incorporated into the payments required under the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement) or (B) as otherwise required under applicable Law upon registering and filing, remitting and paying sales and/or use taxes with the Designated State; provided that if the Designated State imposes any penalties or interest attributable to the late filing of any sales and/or use tax return or the late remittance of sales and/or use taxes for the period beginning on the Closing Date but ending upon the finalization of the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with such Designated State (such amounts being “Additional Sales Tax Costs”), the Additional Sales Tax Costs shall be treated as “Indemnified Taxes” under clause (y) of that definition. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions contained in the first three sentences of this Section 9.02(f) shall not apply to any state that is not a Designated State.

(g) Following the execution of the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement by a Designated State, subject to the Purchaser review requirements of Section 9.02(d), the Seller shall promptly complete all obligations required thereunder (excluding all obligations to make any payments thereunder other than as described in the penultimate sentence of this Section 9.02(g)), including preparing any spreadsheet or returns listing all sales during the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement, computing the Tax due under the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement, and preparing any exemption certificates or other documentation for production to the Designated State, but excluding any actions required to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary to register to begin filing, remitting or paying sales and/or use Taxes as provided in Section 9.02(f) or that require the involvement of Company or its Subsidiaries to complete. The Seller shall provide copies to the Company of any supporting documentation submitted to each Designated State in satisfaction of such obligations under each Voluntary Disclosure Agreement. Without duplication for any indemnity for Indemnified Taxes, the Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the amount of all Taxes due with respect to such Voluntary Disclosure Agreement to the Company from the Indemnity Escrow Account. The Company shall pay such Taxes to the Designated State, and it shall provide to the Seller proof of payment of the Taxes.

9.03 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, any other Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.04 Disclosure Generally. All Disclosure Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein and expressly made a part of this Agreement as though completely set forth herein. All references to this Agreement herein or in any of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to refer to this entire Agreement, including all Disclosure Schedules. For the avoidance of doubt, any disclosure set forth in the Disclosure Schedules shall not alter Seller’s indemnification obligations for Indemnified Taxes, and the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser for all Indemnified Taxes as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
