The transfer of Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities in or to a jurisdiction in which local Laws require observance of specified formalities or procedures to legally effect a transfer of Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities will be effected pursuant to short-form acquisition agreements substantially in the form of the Assignment, Assumption and Xxxx of Sale, except for: (a) the deletion of provisions which are inapplicable to such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities; (b) such changes as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of applicable local Law; and (c) such changes as may be reasonably agreed upon in writing by Seller, Purchaser and Xxxxxx (the “Foreign Acquisition Agreements”); provided, in each case that the Foreign Acquisition Agreements shall serve purely to effect and make enforceable vis-à-vis Third Parties the transfer of the legal and beneficial interest in and to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities and shall not have any significant effect on the value being received by any Designated Purchaser or any Asset Seller Entity, including the allocation of assets and Liabilities as between them, all of which shall be determined by this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04. Non-Assignment; Consents.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer, convey, deliver or assume a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability to the extent that a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, delivery or assumption thereof (i) would be prohibited by Law or (ii) would, without the Consent by any relevant Third Party, (A) constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or of any Contract related to the Triage Business or (B) be ineffective, void or voidable, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B) unless and until such Consent is obtained.

(b) If the Closing occurs and (i) the circumstances described in Section 2.04(a) exist or (ii) any Consent of a Governmental Authority that is required to permit a Designated Purchaser to place Products on the market in a particular jurisdiction under a Registration included within the Purchased Assets has not then been obtained and such jurisdiction is not a Deferred Asset Jurisdiction (which are the subject of Section 2.08), until the earlier of such time as such Consent is obtained and the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (A) Seller and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any such Consent required to: (x) sell, assign, transfer, convey or deliver (directly or indirectly) any Purchased Asset to Purchaser or another Designated Purchaser, and (y) obtain the unconditional release of the Asset Seller Entities and their respective Affiliates so that Purchaser or another Designated Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the Assumed Liabilities; provided, that (1) nothing in this Agreement shall obligate or in any way require the Asset Seller Entities, Xxxxxx or any of their respective Affiliates to expend money, commence any Action or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party in connection with obtaining any Consent to transfer any Purchased Asset and (2) costs to obtain subscriptions, software as a service or software or information technology licenses shall not be deemed a cost to obtain Consent, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost of any such subscriptions, software as a service or software or information technology licenses for the operation of the Triage Business or ownership of the Purchased Assets following Closing, including those included within, or related to Information Technology Assets included within, the Purchased Assets under Section 2.01(a)(xviii), and (B) pending such Consent and continuing until the earlier of (1) the receipt of such Consent and (2) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will put in place any lawful arrangement, the content of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Xxxxxx (with any appropriate “firewalls” or similar procedures required under applicable Competition Laws), intended to provide Purchaser, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits of any such Purchased Asset and the

burdens and costs of any such Assumed Liability (including by means of any agency, contract manufacturing, distribution, supply, subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). Seller shall pay to Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller or its Affiliates with respect to any such Purchased Assets (net of any Assumed Liabilities, Taxes or any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs imposed upon or incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the arrangements contemplated by this Section 2.04(b)). Once a required Consent for the sale, assignment, conveyance, assumption, transfer and delivery of a Purchased Asset is obtained, Seller will promptly transfer such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability to Purchaser or another Designated Purchaser at no additional cost to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.04(a) and 2.04(b), any Shared Contract to be assigned, transferred or conveyed in accordance with Section 2.01(a) shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, be separated as of the Closing, so that each of Purchaser and Seller or their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to the rights and benefits and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities inuring to their respective businesses (with respect to Purchaser, from and after the Closing). The Parties shall cooperate with each other to effect such separation. The costs to effect such separation shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser; provided that (A) Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the costs of any subscriptions, software as a service or software or information technology licenses for the operation of the Triage Business or ownership of the Purchased Assets following Closing, and (B) Seller shall be solely responsible for the costs of any subscriptions, software as a service or software or information technology licenses not related to the operation of the Triage Business or ownership of the Purchased Assets following Closing. If any Shared Contract cannot be so separated, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause, for the period after the Closing and for the duration of the then-current term after the Closing (i) the rights and benefits under each Shared Contract to the extent relating to the Triage Business to be enjoyed by the applicable Designated Purchaser, (ii) the Liabilities under each Shared Contract to the extent constituting an Assumed Liability and relating to the Triage Business to be borne by the applicable Designated Purchaser, (iii) the rights and benefits under each Shared Contract to the extent related to the Excluded Businesses to be enjoyed by the applicable Asset Seller Entity, and (iv) the Liabilities under each Shared Contract to the extent constituting an Excluded Liability or related to the Excluded Businesses to be borne by the applicable Asset Seller Entity. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, at the request (and for the benefit and burden) of Purchaser, any rights of any Asset Seller Entity, as applicable, arising from the portion of any Shared Contract that is not assigned or transferred to the applicable Designated Purchaser to the extent such rights are related to the Triage Business.

SECTION 2.05. Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the other Designated Purchasers, shall (a) pay to Seller, on behalf of the Asset Seller Entities, an aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets in an amount in cash equal to $400,000,000 (the “Initial Purchase Price”) and (b) assume the Assumed Liabilities (together with the Initial Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). The Initial Purchase Price shall be paid in Dollars at the Closing by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated in writing by Seller no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any portion of the Initial Purchase Price is required under applicable Law to be paid in a Foreign Currency or to a specific Asset Seller Entity, the applicable Dollar amount (as allocated pursuant to Section 2.06) shall be converted into the applicable Foreign Currency at the Exchange Rate in effect three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing and paid by Purchaser or another Designated Purchaser to the applicable Asset Seller Entity by wire transfer to one (1) or more bank accounts designated at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date in

writing by Seller in lieu of the payment of such portion of the Initial Purchase Price in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.05.

SECTION 2.06. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price by country based on an estimate of the fair market values of the Purchased Assets and, if required by applicable Law, an allocation by asset category within a particular country (together the “Estimated Allocation”). Subject to Section 6.04(a), during the fifteen (15) day period following delivery of the Estimated Allocation, Seller shall make its Representatives reasonably and timely available to Purchaser, Xxxxxx and their respective Representatives to discuss the Estimated Allocation. The Estimated Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If Purchaser does not deliver written notice of any dispute (an “Allocation Dispute Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Estimated Allocation, the Estimated Allocation shall be deemed the Final Allocation for all purposes hereunder. Prior to the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser may accept the Estimated Allocation by delivering written notice to that effect to Seller and Xxxxxx, in which case the Estimated Allocation shall be deemed the Final Allocation for all purposes hereunder when such notice is given. If Purchaser delivers an Allocation Dispute Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, the Parties and Xxxxxx shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute during the thirty (30) day period following Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Dispute Notice from Purchaser. If the Parties and Xxxxxx do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to the Estimated Allocation within such fifteen (15) day period, then the Estimated Allocation shall be submitted immediately to an internationally recognized, independent accounting or valuation firm reasonably acceptable to the Parties and Xxxxxx (the “Allocation Firm”). The Allocation Firm shall be requested to render a determination of the applicable dispute within fifteen (15) days after referral of the matter to such Allocation Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Allocation Firm shall be final and binding, absent manifest error. Any fees payable to the Allocation Firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. The Estimated Allocation accepted by the Parties and Xxxxxx or determined by the Allocation Firm, as the case may be, shall be the “Final Allocation”. The Final Allocation shall be done at arm’s length based upon a good faith determination of fair market value.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates shall be bound by the Final Allocation for purposes of determining any Taxes related to the transfer of the Purchased Assets. Seller and Purchaser shall prepare and file, and cause their respective Affiliates to prepare and file, their Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Final Allocation. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, none of Seller, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates shall take any position inconsistent with the Final Allocation in any Tax Return, in any Tax refund claim, in any Action or otherwise unless required by a final determination by an applicable Governmental Authority. If any Party, or any Affiliate of any Party, receives notice from any Governmental Authority that such Governmental Authority is disputing the Final Allocation, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party, and Seller and Purchaser agree to use their reasonable best efforts to defend such Final Allocation in any Action.

SECTION 2.07. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Xxxxx & XxXxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, at 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties and Xxxxxx set forth in

Article IX (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), or at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as the Parties and Xxxxxx may mutually agree upon in writing (the “Closing Date”). Subject to Section 2.08, for the purposes of this Agreement, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 A.M. local time in each applicable jurisdiction on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.08. Deferred Asset Transfers.

(a) If (i) any Consent of a Governmental Authority required to (A) consummate the sale of the Purchased Assets or assumption of the Assumed Liabilities in any applicable jurisdiction, or (B) permit a Designated Purchaser to place Products on the market in a particular jurisdiction under a Registration included within the Purchased Assets has not been obtained at the time of the Closing, (ii) despite the exercise by Purchaser of its reasonable best efforts, the applicable Designated Purchaser (A) is not fully formed, organized or incorporated, or (B) in any applicable jurisdiction has not received the Governmental Authorizations or Registrations necessary for the conduct of the Triage Business in such jurisdiction prior to the Closing Date or (iii) any Governmental Authority in an applicable jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that has the effect of making the portion of the Transactions contemplated in such jurisdiction illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of such Transactions in such jurisdiction that is continuing as of the Closing Date (each such jurisdiction, a “Deferred Asset Jurisdiction”), then the Parties shall, in accordance with this Section 2.08(a) and Section 2.08(b), defer (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) the consummation of the portion of the Transactions contemplated in such Deferred Asset Jurisdiction solely with respect to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities in respect of such Deferred Asset Jurisdiction (such items for each Deferred Asset Jurisdiction, the “Deferred Assets and Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Parties shall have no obligation to consummate the Transactions if any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01, in the case of Purchaser, or Section 9.02, in the case of Seller, shall not have been satisfied or waived by such Party.

(b) From and after the Closing, and until such time as the applicable Deferred Assets and Liabilities have been transferred to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.08(c) (each, a “Deferred Transfer Closing”), such Deferred Assets and Liabilities will be held for Purchaser’s benefit and account and will be managed and operated by the applicable Asset Seller Entity(ies) for the benefit and account of the applicable Designated Purchaser, with all gains, income, Losses, Taxes and Tax benefits or other items generated thereby to be for the account of the applicable Designated Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser will use their respective reasonable best efforts to allow the applicable Designated Purchaser to receive the uninterrupted use and benefit of any Deferred Assets and Liabilities from the Closing Date to the date of its Deferred Transfer Closing. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 2.08 or the other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, until the applicable Deferred Transfer Closing occurs, Seller will conduct the Triage Business in such Deferred Asset Jurisdiction in accordance with the reasonable and lawful instructions of Purchaser and its Affiliates and, except to the extent resulting from or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of or violation of Law by Seller or its Affiliates, Purchaser shall defend and indemnify the Seller Indemnitees and save and hold each of them harmless against any Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by them arising out of or as a result of the performance by Seller and its Affiliates of its and their respective obligations under this Section 2.08 in respect of any Deferred Assets and Liabilities from and after the Closing until the applicable Deferred Transfer Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 2.08.

(c) The Deferred Transfer Closing of any Deferred Assets and Liabilities shall occur as promptly as is reasonably practicable after receipt of all applicable required Consents, completion of the formation, organization or incorporation of the applicable Designated Purchaser (and the receipt of necessary Governmental Authorizations and Registrations), the resolution of all applicable Judgments and the expiration of all mandatory waiting periods, or at such time as the Parties may mutually agree upon in writing. For purposes of Sections 2.01(a), 2.02, 2.04, 2.09(a), 2.10(b), 6.02, 6.04(a), 6.11, and 7.02(d), the instance of “Closing” in the last sentence of Section 1.03(a), the instance of “Closing” in the second sentence of Section 2.07, and the instances of “Closing” in the last two (2) sentences of Section 7.02(c), to the extent applicable in connection with any Deferred Asset Jurisdiction, all references to the Closing or the Closing Date shall be deemed to be references to the applicable Deferred Transfer Closing and the date thereof.

SECTION 2.09. Closing Deliveries by Seller. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the applicable Designated Purchaser:

(a) executed counterparts of each Ancillary Agreement to which any Asset Seller Entity is a party and such other instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or necessary under applicable Law to effect the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Designated Purchasers, in each case duly executed by the Asset Seller Entities, as applicable; and

(b) the certificate required by Section 9.01(a).

SECTION 2.10. Closing Deliveries by Purchaser. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the applicable Asset Seller Entity:

(a) the Initial Purchase Price in the manner specified by Section 2.05;

(b) executed counterparts of each Ancillary Agreement to which any Designated Purchaser is a party and such other instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller or Xxxxxx, as may be reasonably requested by Seller or Xxxxxx or necessary under applicable Law to effect the assumption by the applicable Designated Purchasers of the Assumed Liabilities; and

SECTION 2.11. Transferred Inventory Determination and Adjustment.

(a) As soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a good faith calculation of the aggregate value of the Transferred Inventory, calculated as of immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies and in a manner consistent with the preparation of the “Inventory, net” item set forth in the Reference Balance Sheet (the “Transferred Inventory Calculation”).

(b) After receipt of the Transferred Inventory Calculation, Seller shall have sixty (60) days to review the Transferred Inventory Calculation, together with the work papers used in the preparation thereof and the other written documentation supporting the basis of Purchaser’s determination of the Transferred Inventory Calculation. During such sixty (60) day period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, upon reasonable advance notice, provide Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours and without unreasonable interference with Purchaser and its

Affiliates’ operations to the books, records and employees engaged in financial accounting and related functions for the Triage Business as may be reasonably necessary for Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to evaluate the Transferred Inventory Calculation and, if applicable, prepare written notice of any dispute regarding the Transferred Inventory Calculation (a “Dispute Notice”). If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Transferred Inventory Calculation, the Transferred Inventory Calculation shall be deemed the Final Transferred Inventory for all purposes hereunder. Prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, Seller may accept the Transferred Inventory Calculation by delivering written notice to that effect to Purchaser, in which case the Transferred Inventory Calculation shall be deemed the Final Transferred Inventory for all purposes hereunder when such notice is given. If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such sixty (60) day period, Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date Purchaser receives the Dispute Notice from Seller. Any Dispute Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any disagreements. If Seller and Purchaser do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to any items included in the Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to an internationally or nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Consultant”). Within thirty (30) days after the Consultant’s selection, the Consultant shall make a final determination in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies and the terms and definitions of this Agreement and based solely on the written submissions of the Parties of the appropriate amount of each of the matters that remain in dispute, which determination shall be final and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error; provided that the Consultant shall under no circumstances be permitted to resolve any disputes (i) with respect to any matter other than the matters indicated in the Dispute Notice that remain in dispute or (ii) regarding the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Consultant pursuant to this Section 2.11, which such disputes shall in all cases be resolved in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 12.06 and Section 12.08. Purchaser and Seller shall make their respective financial records, to the extent related to the calculation of the aggregate value of the Transferred Inventory, reasonably available to the Consultant in connection with such determination. With respect to each disputed matter, the determination by the Consultant pursuant to this Section 2.11, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, or less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller in the Dispute Notice or by Purchaser in the Transferred Inventory Calculation with respect to such disputed matter. The dispute resolution under this Section 2.11 shall constitute an expert determination under New York CPLR Article 76. Any fees payable to the Consultant shall be borne equally by Seller on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Consultant shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost or expense. Seller and Purchaser shall revise the Transferred Inventory Calculation to reflect the resolution of any disputes with respect thereto pursuant to this Section 2.11 and, as so revised, such Transferred Inventory Calculation shall be deemed to set forth the final aggregate value of the Transferred Inventory (the “Final Transferred Inventory”) for all purposes hereunder.

(c) If the Final Transferred Inventory is less than $28,000,000, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the Final Transferred Inventory pursuant to Section 2.11(b) an amount equal to the absolute value of such deficit by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to an account designated in writing by Purchaser. If the Final Transferred Inventory is greater than $31,000,000, Purchaser shall pay to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the Final Transferred Inventory pursuant to Section 2.11(b) the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to an account designated in writing by Seller.

SECTION 5.05. Financing.

(a) Purchaser has received and accepted an executed commitment letter dated July 15, 2017, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Commitment Letter”), from the debt financing sources named therein (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the full amount of the debt financing described therein (the “Financing”). Purchaser also has delivered to Xxxxxx an accurate and complete copy of the fee letters related to the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Fee Letters”), subject to redaction of fee amounts and other customary commercial terms (relating to the terms not affecting conditionality).

(b) Except as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders to provide the Financing or any contingencies that would permit the Lenders to reduce the total amount of the Financing. There are no side letters or other agreements, Contracts or arrangements (except, in the case of the Financing, for the Fee Letters and customary engagement letters in respect of securities offerings contemplated in lieu of the Financing) relating to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing.

(c) The Financing, when funded in accordance with the Commitment Letter, will provide Purchaser with cash proceeds on the Closing Date in an amount sufficient, along with other sources provided by Purchaser, to consummate the Transactions on the terms contemplated hereby, including the payment of the Purchase Price, and to pay related fees and expenses. To the Knowledge of Purchaser, there is no fact or occurrence as of the date of this Agreement that would cause the conditions to funding of the Financing not to be satisfied at or before the Closing, and Purchaser reasonably believes that it will be able to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Closing to be satisfied by it contained in the Commitment Letter.

(d) The Commitment Letter is valid and binding on, and enforceable against, Purchaser and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, each other party thereto, in accordance with its terms, is in full force and effect, and no event has occurred that, with or without notice or the lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to (i) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Commitment Letter or Fee Letters inaccurate to the extent that they are conditions to the Financing, (ii) result in any of the terms or conditions in the Commitment Letter or Fee Letters that are conditions to the funding of the Financing not being satisfied, (iii) cause the Commitment Letter or Fee Letters to be ineffective or (iv) otherwise result in the Financing not being available on a timely basis in order to consummate the Transactions. The Commitment Letter has not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived on or prior to the date of this Agreement and the respective commitments contained in the Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, modified or rescinded on or prior to the date of this Agreement. Purchaser has paid in full any and all commitment fees or other fees or expenses required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter on or before the date of this Agreement.

(e) In no event will the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by Purchaser or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.06. Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article IV, immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, including receipt of the Financing, Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries (including each other Designated Purchaser) will be able to pay their respective debts as they become due and will own property that has a fair saleable value greater than the amounts required to pay their respective debts when due (including all contingent Liabilities).

Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, including receipt of the Financing, Purchaser and the other Designated Purchasers will have adequate capital to carry on their respective businesses. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the Transactions with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries (including any other Designated Purchaser).

SECTION 5.07. Brokers and Other Advisors. Except for Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Partners, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by Purchaser Parent, no broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses in connection therewith, in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of any Designated Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.08. Investigation. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it (a) has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Triage Business and (b) has been furnished with or given access to such information about the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities and the Triage Business as it has requested. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the only representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates or Representatives are the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement and, except as set forth in Article III, none of Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates or Representatives makes any other representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, with respect to any Asset Seller Entities, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Triage Business, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (or the Transactions), including representations, warranties, covenants and agreements relating to the financial condition, results of operations, assets or Liabilities of any of the foregoing entities, (ii) the only representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives are the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or as may be set forth in the Ancillary Agreements and, except as set forth in Article IV or as may be set forth in the Ancillary Agreements, none of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives makes any other representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, with respect to any Asset Seller Entities, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Triage Business, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (or the Transactions), including representations, warranties, covenants and agreements relating to the financial condition, results of operations, assets or Liabilities of any of the foregoing entities and (iii) none of the Asset Seller Entities, Xxxxxx or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives makes any representation or warranty as to (A) the operation of the Triage Business by Purchaser after the Closing in any manner or (B) the probable success or profitability of the Triage Business after the Closing. Except for the representations and warranties of Xxxxxx contained in Article III and the representations and warranties of Seller in Article IV or as may be set forth in the Ancillary Agreements, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates have relied upon any other representations or warranties or any other information made or supplied by or on behalf of any Asset Seller Entity, Xxxxxx or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of the Asset Seller Entities, Xxxxxx or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives has any Liability or responsibility for any other representation, warranty, opinion, projection, forecast, advice, statement or information made, communicated or furnished (orally or in writing) to Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives (including any opinion, projection, forecast, advice, statement or information that may have been or may be provided to Purchaser by any Affiliate or Representative of Purchaser). Purchaser acknowledges that, should the Closing occur, Purchaser shall acquire the Purchased Assets and the Triage Business without any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness thereof for any particular purpose, in an “as is”

condition and on a “where is” basis, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code.

(d) Purchaser acknowledges that the entry by Seller and Xxxxxx into this Agreement, the performance by Seller and Xxxxxx of their respective obligations hereunder and, if applicable, the consummation of the Transactions are being undertaken by Seller and Xxxxxx to obtain the Merger Clearances and to consummate the Merger Transaction. Anything to the contrary in this Section 6.02 notwithstanding, (i) neither Seller nor Xxxxxx shall be obligated to, and the use of reasonable best efforts by each of Seller and Xxxxxx shall in no event require Seller, Xxxxxx or any of their respective Affiliates to, take, or cause to be taken, any actions or do, or cause to be done, or assist and cooperate in the doing of, anything that Xxxxxx, in its reasonable discretion, determines would (A) contravene any covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement or (B) result in the staff of the FTC, the European Commission, or any other antitrust or competition Governmental Authority not recommending to such applicable Governmental Authority the approval of, or such applicable Governmental Authority not approving (1) the Merger Agreement, the Merger Transaction or the Other Transactions or (2) this Agreement, the Transactions and Purchaser as the purchaser of the Triage Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities for all Merger Clearances conditioned upon the divestiture of the Triage Business and (ii) Seller and Xxxxxx may, and may cause their respective Affiliates to, take, or cause to be taken, any actions contemplated by or otherwise taken in furtherance of or in connection with (A) the Merger Transaction or (B) the entry into or performance under any Company Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

SECTION 6.03. Public Announcements. Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller and Xxxxxx, on the other hand, shall consult with the other(s) before issuing, and give the other(s) the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or similar public statements with respect to the Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such similar public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, Judgment, court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Section 6.03 shall not apply to any press release or similar public statement made by Seller, Purchaser or Xxxxxx (a) which is consistent with any press release or similar public statement mutually agreed by Purchaser, Seller and Xxxxxx, and the terms of this Agreement and does not contain any information relating to Seller, Xxxxxx, Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or the Transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.03 or (b) which is made in the ordinary course of business and does not relate to this Agreement or the Transactions.

In any such event, Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable Law, Contract or obligation or risk waiver of such privilege or protection or risk such Liability, including entering into a joint defense agreement, common interest agreement or other similar arrangement. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be directed to the Person designated by Seller on Schedule 6.04(a)(ii) with a copy to the Person designated by Xxxxxx thereon (or in each case, any replacement thereto, as to which Purchaser receives written notice).

(c) Prior to the Closing, Seller and Xxxxxx shall, at Purchaser’s cost and expense, use reasonable best efforts to, and to cause its Representatives to, provide to Purchaser such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the Financing (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Seller, Xxxxxx and their respective Affiliates).

In addition, (A) Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, a 2018 long-term incentive award to each Transferred Employee employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates at the time annual long-term incentive awards are made generally that is no less favorable than the long-term incentive award made to similarly situated employees of Xxxxxx generally, and (B) Seller shall provide to Purchaser reasonably promptly following the determination thereof such information regarding the 2018 long-term incentive awards described in clause (A) as is reasonably required by Purchaser for purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement with respect to such awards. Purchaser shall not assume sponsorship of or any Liability under any Seller Plan, all Liability for which shall remain the responsibility of Seller or its applicable Affiliate.

(b) With respect to all employee benefit plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates, including any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes (except as set forth below), including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and benefit accruals, each Transferred Employee’s service with Seller and its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of Seller or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer was recognized by Seller or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Purchaser and its Affiliates (or in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Triage Business, its successors and assigns); provided, however, that such service need not be recognized (i) to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service, (ii) for any purpose under any defined benefit retirement plan, retiree welfare plan, equity-based incentive plan or long-term incentive plan, (iii) to the extent not recognized by Seller for similar purposes, or (iv) for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (A) under which similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates do not receive credit for prior service or (B) that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation.

(c) Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall be responsible for all welfare benefit claims incurred by Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents at or after the Closing. Seller or one of its Affiliates shall be responsible for all welfare benefit claims incurred under any Seller Plan by Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents prior to the Closing. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.02(a), with respect to any “employee welfare benefit plan” maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or other arrangement of Seller or its applicable Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Sections 12.05 and 12.13, the provisions of this Section 7.02 are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no provision of this Section 7.02 (i) is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise, (ii) obligates Purchaser or any of its

Affiliates to retain the employment of any particular Transferred Employee following the Closing or (iii) results in any current or former director, employee, consultant or any other individual associated therewith being regarded for any purposes as a Third Party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

SECTION 7.03. Severance Liabilities. Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any severance, redundancy or similar termination payments or benefits (a) that may become payable to any Triage Business Employee arising out of or in connection with the Transactions and any amounts paid or payable to any Triage Business Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee because such Triage Business Employee does not accept an offer to transfer employment, provided the offer of employment made by the applicable Designated Purchaser to such Triage Business Employee is made pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 7.01(c), 7.02(a), (b) and (c) and 7.05, or (b) to the extent set forth on Schedule 7.03. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all claims for severance, redundancy or similar termination payments or benefits incurred by Transferred Employees after the Closing except as set forth on Schedule 7.03.

SECTION 7.04. Equity Incentives and Bonus Payments. Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any payments due to the Transferred Employees in connection with their equity incentive, bonus and other awards that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing under any Seller Plan, if any, including awards under any Transition Award Agreement and any Retention Bonus Agreement (each as identified in Section 4.09(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter) or long-term incentive awards for the 2017 performance cycle, and Purchaser shall have no obligations under any such Seller Plans or agreements.

SECTION 7.05. 401(k) Plan.

ARTICLE VIII

TAXES

SECTION 8.01. Periodic Taxes. All personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a Straddle Period (“Periodic Taxes”) shall be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period by multiplying the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. The excess of such Periodic Taxes for such Straddle Period over the amount apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be apportioned to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller shall be liable for the amount of such Periodic Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period except to the extent payment therefor had been made prior to Closing. Purchaser shall be liable for the amount of such Periodic Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period and shall reimburse Seller for any portion of the Periodic Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period paid by Seller within ten (10) days of being notified by Seller of the amount so due. Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns for Periodic Taxes required to be filed after the Closing; provided, however, such Tax Returns shall be subject to the approval of Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

SECTION 8.02. Refunds and Credits. Seller and its Affiliates shall be entitled to retain or, to the extent actually received by or otherwise available to Purchaser or its Affiliates, receive immediate payment from Purchaser or its Affiliates of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes (including without limitation refunds arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date or otherwise) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period relating to the Triage Business or the Purchased Assets. Purchaser shall be entitled to retain or, to the extent actually received by Seller or its Affiliates, receive immediate payment from Seller or its Affiliates of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes (including without limitation refunds arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing or otherwise) with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period relating to the Triage Business or the Purchased Assets. Any refunds or credits of Taxes with respect to Straddle Periods shall be apportioned pursuant to the principles set forth in Section 8.01.

SECTION 8.03. Resolution of Tax Controversies. If, following the Closing, a claim shall be made by any Governmental Authority that might result in an indemnity payment to a Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.02, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such claim. If, following the Closing, a claim shall be made by any Governmental Authority that might result in an indemnity payment to a Seller Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.03, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such claim. In the event that a Governmental Authority determines a deficiency in any Tax, the Party ultimately, following the Closing, responsible for such Tax under this Agreement, whether by indemnity or otherwise, shall have authority to determine whether to dispute such deficiency determination and to control the prosecution or settlement of such dispute; provided that with respect to Straddle Periods, the Party with the greater potential Tax burden shall control the dispute. The Party that is not ultimately responsible for such Tax under this Agreement shall, following the Closing, have the right to participate at its own expense in the conduct of any such proceeding involving a Tax claim that would adversely affect such Party.

SECTION 8.04. Tax Cooperation. From and after the Closing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall provide the other Party with such information and records and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available as may reasonably be requested by such other Party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other proceeding that relates to the Triage Business or the Purchased Assets.

SECTION 8.05. Conveyance Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, all transfer, documentary, recording, registration, stamp and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes, but excluding any Taxes based on or attributable to income or capital gains) together with any notarial and registry fees and recording costs imposed by any Governmental Authority in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Designated Purchasers (“Conveyance Taxes”) will be shared equally by Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, regardless of which Person is obligated to pay such Conveyance Taxes under applicable Law; provided, however, that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall pay and be solely responsible for all value added, goods and services, sales or other similar Taxes. To the extent that one Party claims any exemptions from any Conveyance Taxes, such Party shall provide to the other Party the appropriate exemption certificates. Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates will cooperate in timely making and filing all Tax Returns that may be required to comply with Law relating to Conveyance Taxes.

SECTION 8.06. VAT. The Purchase Price shall be exclusive of value added, goods and services and any other similar Taxes, and if such Taxes are properly charged or chargeable upon Seller or any of its Affiliates, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall pay Seller (in addition to the Purchase Price) the amount of such Taxes within five (5) Business Days of receipt

by Purchaser of notice thereof from Seller and a copy of a Tax invoice in compliance with local Laws.

SECTION 8.07. Survival of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations contained in this Article VIII shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, as extended to the maximum extent permitted by Law. In no event shall an Indemnified Party be indemnified for the same Taxes more than once (even if such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for such Taxes pursuant to more than one provision contained in this Agreement).

(d) immediately, without any action by any Party or Xxxxxx, if the Merger Agreement is terminated;

(e) by Purchaser, if Seller shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.01(a) and (ii) is incapable of being cured within ninety (90) calendar days after the consummation of the Merger Transaction (the “End Date”) or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, Seller shall not have commenced good-faith efforts to cure the breach or failure to perform within thirty (30) calendar days following (or the breach or failure to perform is not cured within sixty (60) calendar days following) receipt by Seller of written notice from Purchaser of the breach or failure to perform; provided, that Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(e) if Purchaser is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.02(a);

The covenants contained in this Agreement which are to be performed at or after the Closing shall terminate thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof, whether automatic or permissive). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each representation, warranty,

covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise expire pursuant to this Section 11.01 if, prior to such time, a Third Party Claim Notice or Direct Claim Notice with respect to the breach shall have been timely delivered to the Party against whom such indemnity may be sought in accordance with Section 11.05. Any claim not asserted in accordance with this Article XI on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 11.01 will be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived.

SECTION 11.02. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against the items described on Schedule 11.02 and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by them to the extent arising out of or related to: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement, (b) nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller contained in this Agreement, or (c) any Excluded Liability.

SECTION 11.04. Limitations on Indemnifiable Losses.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) no indemnification payments will be made by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to Section 11.02(a) in respect of any individual claim or series of claims having the same nature or origin where the aggregate Losses relating to such claims or series of claims are less than $150,000, and such claims or series of claims with Losses relating thereto of less than $150,000 will not be aggregated or counted for purposes of calculating the Deductible in clause (ii) below;

(ii) no indemnification payments will be made by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to Section 11.02(a) until the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller would (but for this clause (ii)) be liable thereunder exceeds one percent (1%) of the Initial Purchase Price (such amount being, the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess over the Deductible; provided, that the Deductible shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the breach of any Fundamental Representation;

(iii) the aggregate total amount in respect of which Seller will be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.02(a) and Schedule 11.02 will not exceed eight percent (8%) of the Initial Purchase Price (such amount being the “Cap”); provided, that the Cap shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the breach of any Fundamental Representation; and

(iv) subject to Section 11.04(a)(iii), the aggregate total amount in respect of which Seller will be liable to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.02(a) and (b) and Schedule 11.02 shall not exceed the Initial Purchase Price.

For clarity, the Cap and the limitation in Section 11.04(a)(iv) do not apply to Losses actually suffered or incurred to the extent arising out of or related to any Excluded Liability.

(b) For all purposes of this Article XI, “Losses” shall be net of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by or paid to an Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto.

(c) In the event a Person seeks indemnification under this Article XI for any Losses, Purchaser (if such Person is a Purchaser Indemnitee) or Seller (if such Person is a Seller Indemnitee) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions as may be reasonably required or necessary to mitigate, to the extent practicable, such Losses (including, to the extent commercially reasonable, pursuing in good faith available insurance coverage, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements).

(d) Any indemnity provided hereunder by Seller shall be so applied as to avoid any double counting and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to obtain indemnification more than once for the same Losses pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, the BNP Purchase Agreement or any other Contract entered between the Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the BNP Purchase Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Article XI, the representations and warranties of Seller shall not be deemed qualified by any reference to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” (other than the Specified Qualifications).

SECTION 11.05. Indemnity Procedures. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Third Party Claims.

(i) Any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee seeking indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any claim asserted or threatened against the Indemnified Party by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of any matter that is subject to indemnification under Section 11.02 or Section 11.03, as applicable, shall promptly deliver to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) a written notice (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) setting forth a description in reasonable detail of the nature of the Third Party Claim or, in the alternative, include a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim (if any); provided, however, that the failure to so transmit a Third Party Claim Notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article XI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(ii) If a Third Party Claim is asserted against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if the Indemnifying Party delivers a written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) stating that the Indemnifying Party shall assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim and specifying any reservations to its defense (except that the failure to so specify any reservation to its defense in a timely delivered written notice shall not affect the validity of such written notice unless the Indemnified Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure), the Indemnifying Party may assume and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and settle such Third Party Claim at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement or consent to entry of

any Judgment that (A) does not include the provision by the Person(s) asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of a full, unconditional and irrevocable release from all Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, (B) includes an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, (C) includes injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting any Indemnified Party other than nonmonetary relief incidental to the monetary damages that does not restrict the operation of the business of the Indemnified Party, or (D) if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, includes monetary amounts in respect of, or that would be, Assumed Liabilities. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal fees or expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party (it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense); provided further, that if, based on the reasonable opinion of legal counsel to the Indemnified Party reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, a conflict or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party which makes representation of both parties inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall constitute indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article XI; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may retain or take over the control of the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to control if the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Article XI and fully releases the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim shall constitute indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article XI.

(iii) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the investigation, prosecution or defense of any Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall, upon reasonable notice to the Party providing such cooperation, include (A) providing, and causing their respective Affiliates to provide, documentary or other evidence in its possession or control that is reasonably related to the Third Party Claim, (B) implementing, and causing their respective Affiliates to implement, reasonable record retention or litigation hold policies and (C) making available, and causing their respective Affiliates to make available, directors, officers and employees to give depositions or testimony. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05(a)(ii), the Party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such cooperation (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) by the Party (or Affiliate thereof, as the case may be) providing such cooperation and by its officers, directors, employees and agents, but not including reimbursing such Party (or Affiliate thereof, as the case may be) or its officers, directors, employees and agents for their time spent in such cooperation.

(b) Direct Claims. If any Indemnified Party has a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article XI that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted or threatened against such Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Direct Claim Notice”) setting forth a description in reasonable detail of the nature of the Direct Claim; provided, that the failure to so transmit a Direct Claim Notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article XI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

SECTION 11.06. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. For all Tax purposes, the Parties and Abbott agree to treat all payments made under any indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price, except to the extent applicable Law requires otherwise.

SECTION 11.07. Exclusivity. Except in cases of Fraud, from and after the Closing, recovery pursuant to this Article XI shall constitute Xxxxxx’x and the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims relating to or arising from this Agreement or the Transactions, and each Party and Abbott hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, remedies, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law, that any Party or Abbott may have against the other Persons party hereto relating to or arising from this Agreement or the Transactions; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to deny (a) any Party equitable remedies (including injunctive relief or specific performance) when any such remedy is otherwise available under this Agreement or applicable Law, or (b) any Party or any of their respective Affiliates any remedies under any Ancillary Agreement, and the foregoing shall not interfere with or impede the resolution of disputes relating to (i) the determination of the Final Allocation by the Allocation Firm pursuant to Section 2.06 or (ii) the determination of Final Transferred Inventory by the Consultant pursuant to Section 2.11. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of Seller and Abbott under this Agreement are several and not joint.

ARTICLE XII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 12.01. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties and Abbott. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or supplement of this last sentence of Section 12.01, Section 12.03, the last sentence of Section 12.05, Section 12.06, Section 12.07, Section 12.08 and Section 12.13(b) to the extent such amendment would directly impact and is adverse to the interests of a Lender under such Sections, shall also be approved by written consent of the adversely affected Lender.

SECTION 12.02. Extension of Time; Waiver, Etc. Any agreement on the part of any of Purchaser, Seller or Abbott to extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Persons party to this Agreement or to waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Person; provided further, that any such agreement on the part of Purchaser or Seller shall only be valid if such instrument is also signed on behalf of Abbott. The failure or delay of any of Purchaser, Seller or Abbott to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of Purchaser, Seller or Abbott of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

SECTION 12.03. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any Party or Abbott without the prior written consent of each Party and Abbott, except that, (i) without the prior written agreement of Seller, Purchaser may assign as collateral security its respective rights hereunder to any of its Financing Sources and (ii)

following the Closing, no consent shall be required in connection with a merger, consolidation or similar change-in-control transaction of Abbott, Purchaser Parent or any successor thereto. No assignment by any Party or Abbott shall relieve such Person of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the immediately preceding two (2) sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties, Abbott and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 12.03 shall be null and void.

SECTION 12.04. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and Abbott and delivered to each of the other Persons party hereto.

SECTION 12.05. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, including the Seller Disclosure Letter, together with the Ancillary Agreements, the BNP Purchase Agreement, and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties, Abbott and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that (a) as between Seller and Abbott, nothing herein shall (or be deemed or in any way interpreted to) supersede, modify, waive, amend, interpret, or constitute an admission regarding, the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement or of that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated January 5, 2016, by and between Seller and Abbott and (b) nothing herein shall (or be deemed or in any way interpreted to) supersede, modify, waive, amend, interpret, or constitute an admission regarding, the terms of the BNP Purchase Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person other than the Parties and Abbott any rights or remedies hereunder, except for (i) Purchaser Parent to the extent expressly set forth herein, including Section 10.02, (ii) Article XI, which are intended to be enforceable by the Persons specified therein and (iii) the last sentence of Section 12.01, Section 12.03, the last sentence of Section 12.05, Section 12.06, Section 12.07, Section 12.08 and Section 12.13(b), which are intended to be for the benefit of the Financing Sources, who shall be express third party beneficiaries to the extent such Sections relate to the Financing Sources.

SECTION 12.06. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all claims arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon, or in connection herewith or the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter, the Financing and the transactions contemplated thereby and any claims arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon, or connection with the Commitment Letter, the Financing or the transactions contemplated thereby, shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would result in the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any Action against any Financing Source arising out of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Financing or the transactions contemplated thereby, shall be heard and determined in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the City of New York, New York (or, if the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the City of New York, New York declines to accept jurisdiction over any Action, in the New York State Court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, New York) and the Parties and Abbott hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such Action and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum, improper venue or

lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such Action. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 12.06(b) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties and Abbott. Each Party and Abbott agrees that service of process upon such Person, as applicable, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier at the address set forth in Section 12.09. The Parties and Abbott agree that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s or Xxxxxx’x rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a trial court judgment.

SECTION 12.07. Specific Enforcement. The Parties and Abbott agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties and Abbott fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement. Subject to the following sentence, the Parties and Abbott acknowledge and agree that (a) each of the Parties and Abbott shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 12.06(b) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right none of Seller, Purchaser or Abbott would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties and Abbott acknowledge and agree that any Person party hereto seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.07 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 12.07, Seller, Abbott, their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall not be entitled to seek specific performance of any rights of Purchaser, Purchaser Parent, their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective Representatives to cause the Financing to be funded.

SECTION 12.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ABBOTT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING ANY PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMMITMENT LETTER, THE FINANCING OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

SECTION 12.09. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any Party or Abbott hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by facsimile (which is confirmed), or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the Persons at the following addresses:

Each of the Parties and Abbott hereby waives and will cause its Affiliates to waive compliance by the other Party and Abbott and their respective Affiliates with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to the applicable Designated Purchaser.

SECTION 12.11. Severability. If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, provided that the Parties and Abbott shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties and Abbott as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law such that the economic and legal substance of the Transactions are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

SECTION 12.12. Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring or required to incur such fees or expenses, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 12.13. No Recourse; Waiver of Claims.

(a) The obligations of Abbott under this Agreement may only be enforced against Abbott, any claims or causes of action for breach of this Agreement by Abbott may only be made against Abbott, and no other Person (including Seller or any of its Affiliates) shall have any Liability for any Liabilities of Abbott for or relating to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by Abbott. The obligations of Seller under this Agreement may only be enforced against Seller, any claims or causes of action for breach of this Agreement by Seller may only be made against Seller, and no other Person (including Abbott or any of its Affiliates) shall have any Liability for any Liabilities of Seller for or relating to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by Seller.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Seller and Abbott, in each case on behalf of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, managers, members, stockholders and Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any rights or claims against any

Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Financing and the transactions contemplated thereby and each of Seller and Abbott, in each case on behalf of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, managers, members, stockholders and Representatives, agrees not to commence any Action against any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Financing or the transactions contemplated thereby and agrees to cause any such Action asserted by Seller, Abbott or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, managers, members, stockholders and Representatives, in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Financing or the transactions contemplated thereby to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is acknowledged and agreed that no Financing Source shall have any Liability for any claims or damages to Seller, Abbott or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, managers, members, stockholders and Representatives in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Financing or the transactions contemplated thereby.

SECTION 12.14. Rescission. In the event the FTC shall not have approved on or prior to the Closing Date the final Decision and Order issued by it in disposition of its proceeding relating to the Merger Transaction, and following the Closing Date, the FTC shall have notified Abbott that, for purposes thereof, Purchaser would not be an acceptable purchaser of the Triage Business and that the Transactions are required to be rescinded, then Abbott shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Parties, and the Parties and Abbott shall promptly take all actions as may be necessary or desirable to rescind the consummation of the Transactions and to restore to each Party and Abbott its rights, powers and obligations as in existence immediately prior to the Closing, including (a) Seller refunding to Purchaser all funds received by Seller from Purchaser as payment of the Purchase Price, (b) execution by Purchaser of such assignments, transfers and other documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to convey, assign and transfer back to the applicable Asset Seller Entities all of any Designated Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to any Purchased Assets and to terminate and cancel the Ancillary Agreements, and (c) execution by the applicable Asset Seller Entities of such assumptions and other documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to relieve each Designated Purchaser of Liability for any Assumed Liabilities existing on the Closing Date and to terminate and cancel the Ancillary Agreements.

SECTION 12.15. Guarantee. Purchaser Parent (“Guarantor”) irrevocably guarantees each and every covenant and obligation of Purchaser and the full and timely performance of its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including the performance of any of Purchaser’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof. This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not of collection, and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is full and unconditional, and no release or extinguishments of Purchaser’s Liabilities (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, will affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this guarantee. Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Abbott and Seller, (a) any right to require Abbott or Seller as a condition of payment or performance of Guarantor to proceed against Purchaser or pursue any other remedies whatsoever and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, except to the extent that any such defense is available to Purchaser. Guarantor understands that Abbott and Seller are relying on this guarantee in entering into this Agreement.

SECTION 12.16. Supremacy. To the extent that any term or provision of this Agreement conflicts with any directly corresponding term or provision of the FTC Decision and Order or the European Commission Decision, dated January 25, 2017 (the “EC Decision”), the Parties and Abbott hereby agree that the terms or provisions of the FTC Decision and Order or the EC Decision, as applicable, shall control the rights and obligations of the Parties and Abbott.
