1.3 Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Not less than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date and in no event more than seven (7) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser the Financial Statement Packet and a written schedule (certified by the Seller’s chief financial officer) (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Seller’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Date Cash (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash”), (iii) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”) and (iv) the Closing Date Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses”). The Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein (including the Closing Date Working Capital) shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Upon the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Seller will make available to the Purchaser and its Representatives the work papers and other books and records used in preparing the Estimated Closing Statement. Prior to Closing, the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to answer any questions and resolve any issues raised by the Purchaser and its Representatives in connection with their review of the Estimated Closing Statement.

(b) Within ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a written schedule (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the (i) Closing Date Working Capital, (ii) the Closing Date Cash, (iii) the Closing Date Indebtedness and (iv) the Closing Date Transaction Expenses. Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, during regular business hours, in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operation of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, to the (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) work papers and books and records relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement solely for the purpose of assisting the Seller in its review of the Closing Statement and the calculations contained therein. If the Seller disagrees with the calculations in the Closing Statement, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such disagreement in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Closing Statement. The Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Closing Statement which the Seller believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the correct amount of such item and (ii) the Seller’s alternative calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Indebtedness and/or the Closing Date Transaction Expenses, as the case may be. Any item or amount that the Seller does not dispute in reasonable detail in the Dispute Notice within such forty-five (45) day period, shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such Dispute Notice is timely provided, the Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations included in the Closing Statement that were disputed in the Dispute Notice. If, at the end of such period, the Seller and the Representatives of the Purchaser remain unable to resolve the dispute in its entirety, then the unresolved items and amounts thereof in dispute shall be submitted to KPMG, LLP, or if such firm cannot or does not accept such engagement, another nationally recognized independent accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller, which shall not be the independent accountants of the Purchaser or the Seller (the “Dispute Auditor”). The Dispute Auditor shall determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 1.3 and the written presentations by the Seller and the Purchaser, and not by independent review, only those items and amounts that remain then in dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice in reasonable detail. The Dispute Auditor’s determination of the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Indebtedness and/or the Closing Date Transaction Expenses, as applicable, shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the dispute is submitted for its determination and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Seller and the Purchaser. A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction selected pursuant to Section 9.6 hereof may be entered upon the Dispute Auditor’s determination. The Dispute Auditor shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resorting to the Dispute Auditor as provided in this Section 1.3(b) shall be the only recourse and remedy of the parties against one another with respect to those items and amounts that remain in dispute within the scope of the third immediately preceding sentence of this Section 1.3(b). The Dispute Auditor shall allocate its fees and expenses between the Purchaser and the Seller according to the degree to which the positions of the respective parties are not accepted by the Dispute Auditor. By way of illustration, (i) if Purchaser’s calculations would have resulted in a $1,000,000 net payment to Purchaser, and the Seller’s calculations would have resulted in a $1,000,000 net payment to the Seller and the Dispute Auditor’s final determination results an in aggregate net payment of $500,000 to the Seller, then the Purchaser and the Seller shall pay 75% and 25%, respectively, of such fees and expenses and (ii) if each of such parties’ calculation differs from the Dispute Auditor’s calculation by $1,000,000, the Purchaser and the Seller shall split such fees and expenses evenly. In no event shall the decision of the Dispute Auditor assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either the Purchaser or the Seller or lesser than the smallest value for such item claimed by either the Purchaser or the Seller. Any determinations made by the Dispute Auditor pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the parties hereto, absent manifest error, gross negligence or fraud. The date on which the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Closing Date Transaction Expenses are finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.3(b) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the Adjustment Amount, and if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then within five (5) business days after the Determination Date, the Purchaser shall pay the Adjustment Amount to the Seller. If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then within five (5) business days after the Determination Date, the Seller shall pay the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount to the Purchaser.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser

The Purchaser represents and warrants, to the Seller, as follows:

3.1 Due Organization, Good Standing and Corporate Power. The Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with the requisite corporate, partnership or similar power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being conducted, including the execution, delivery and performance of each Ancillary Agreement, as applicable. Each Ancillary Agreement to which the Purchaser is, or will be at the Closing, a party (i) has been (or, in the case of Ancillary Agreements to be entered into at Closing, will be when executed and delivered) duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and (ii) is (or in the case of Ancillary Agreements to be entered into at the Closing, will be when executed and delivered) a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

3.3 Acquisition of Shares. The Shares are being acquired solely for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting a participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Shares and that neither the Seller nor the Acquired Companies have made any assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Shares. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

3.4 Authority; Binding Nature of Agreements. The Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Purchaser and its board of directors and stockholders. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

3.5 Sophistication; Investigation. The Purchaser and its Representatives are experienced and sophisticated in all aspects of the evaluation, acquisition and operation of businesses such as that in which the Acquired Companies are engaged. The Purchaser has (a) evaluated the merits and risks of acquiring the Shares on the terms set forth in this Agreement and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such acquisition, (b) is aware of and has considered the financial risks and financial hazards of acquiring the Shares on the terms set forth in this Agreement, and (c) intends to assume both the risks and prospective returns associated with an acquisition of the Acquired Companies subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.5 shall be deemed to limit the Purchaser’s rights or remedies with respect to any common law fraud on the part of the Seller or any of its Affiliates or any director, manager, officer, employee, equityholder, agent or representative of any of the foregoing.

3.6 Non-Contravention; Consents. Neither the Purchaser’s (i) execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor (ii) consummation of the Transactions will directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time):

(a) contravene, conflict with or result in a material violation of any of the provisions of the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents; or

[*****] Confidential material redacted and separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(b) assuming the consents, registrations, declarations, filings and notices referred to in Section 4.3 have been obtained or made, any applicable waiting periods referred to therein have expired and any condition precedent to any such consent has been satisfied, conflict with or violate, or give any Governmental Body the right to challenge any of the Transactions or to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, any Legal Requirement in any material respect or any Order to which the Purchaser or any of the assets owned or used by the Purchaser, is subject

Except as otherwise contemplated herein, no filing by the Purchaser with, notice by the Purchaser to, or Consent from, any Person is required in connection with (y) the Purchaser’s execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, or (z) the consummation by the Purchaser of the Transactions.

3.7 Proceedings. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no pending Proceeding, and to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, no Person has threatened to commence any Proceeding against the Purchaser or, to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, against another Person that challenges, or that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, delaying, making illegal or otherwise interfering with, the Transactions.

3.8 No Reliance. The acquisition of the Shares by the Purchaser and the consummation of the Transactions by this Agreement by the Purchaser are not done in reliance upon any warranty or representation by, or information from, the Seller or the any of the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Representatives of any sort, oral or written, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose, except for the warranties and representations specifically and expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Such acquisition and consummation are instead done on the basis of the Purchaser’s own investigation, analysis, judgment and assessment of the present and potential value and earning power of the Acquired Companies as well as those representations and warranties by the Seller specifically and expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. In connection with the Purchaser’s investigation of the Acquired Companies and their businesses and operations, the Purchaser and its Representatives have received from the Acquired Companies and/or their Representatives certain projections and other forecasts for the Acquired Companies and certain estimates, plans and budget information. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forecasts, estimates, plans and budgets, (ii) the Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and (iii) the Purchaser is making its own evaluations of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to it or its Representatives. Nothing in this Section 3.8 shall be deemed to limit Purchaser’s rights or remedies with respect to any common law fraud on the part of the Seller or any its Affiliates or any director, manager, officer, employee, equityholder, agent or representative of any of the foregoing.

3.9 Brokers. The Purchaser has not agreed or become obligated to pay, and has not taken any action that might result in any Person claiming to be entitled to receive, any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or similar commission or fee in connection with any of the Transactions.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller will provide, and will cause the Acquired Companies and its and their respective Representatives to provide, the Purchaser and its Representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, such reasonable access to the offices, properties, books, records, contracts, financial and operating data and other information and documents of, or pertaining to, the Acquired Companies (so long as such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Acquired Companies) as the Purchaser or such Representatives reasonably may request regarding the business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Acquired Companies and the Business.

4.5 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of not less than one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies to, provide all individuals who are employees of the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing so long as they remain employees of the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates (including employees who are not actively at work on account of illness, disability or leave of absence) on the Closing Date (taken as a whole, the “Affected Employees”), with (i) annual base salary or hourly wage rates substantially comparable to the annual base salary or hourly wage rates as in effect for such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) other employee benefits (whether pursuant to benefit plans maintained by the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any other Affiliate of the Purchaser) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the other employee benefits that are provided generally to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that (x) for purposes of determining “other employee benefits” required to be provided pursuant to clause (ii) above, incentive compensation, change in control bonuses, supplemental executive retirement benefits and any benefits that may result in excise taxes being imposed on the Acquired Companies shall be excluded.

Additionally, nothing contained in this Section 4.5 shall be deemed to grant any Affected Employee any right to any specific type or amount of, or eligibility for, any compensation or benefit under any specific incentive compensation plan or employee benefit plan.

[*****] Confidential material redacted and separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(b) As of and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies to, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements or plan terms, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any Affected Employees with credit for employment with the Acquired Companies for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under any employee compensation and incentive plans, benefit (including vacation) plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained for the benefit of Affected Employees as of and after the Closing by the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates for the Affected Employees’ service with the Acquired Companies, their Affiliates and their predecessor entities (each, a “Surviving Corporation Plan”) to the same extent recognized by the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing under any similar Company Benefit Plan; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. With respect to each Surviving Corporation Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements or plan terms, use commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition or eligibility limitations and (ii) give effect, for the applicable plan year in which the Closing occurs, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, Affected Employees under similar plans maintained by the Acquired Companies (or the Seller, as applicable) immediately prior to the Closing.

(c) No later than March 31, 2013, each Affected Employee who has been granted an annual cash bonus award in respect of the 2012 calendar year under the Bonus Plan (as set forth in Part 4.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and collectively referred to herein as the “Assumed Bonus”) shall be entitled to a cash payment, payable by the Purchaser (or the Affiliate of Purchaser then employing such Affected Employee) equal to such employee’s portion of the Assumed Bonus as set forth in Part 4.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, any such Affected Employee whose employment is terminated by the Purchaser or its Affiliate after the Closing Date and prior to the payment of the Assumed Bonus shall be entitled to a cash payment equal to such terminated Affected Employee’s Assumed Bonus pro-rated for the period beginning on January 1, 2012 and ending on the earlier of such terminated Affected Employee’s date of employment termination and December 31, 2012; and, provided further, that if the Closing has not occurred by March 31, 2013, then the Seller shall cause the Acquired Companies to make the payments provided for in this Section 4.5(c).

(d) For a period beginning on the Closing Date and concluding on August 3, 2014, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to, pay to any Affected Employee whose service with the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) is terminated during such period severance benefits that are not less favorable than the greater of (i) those severance benefits provided to such Affected Employees under the terms of any individual employment agreement to which such individual is a party in accordance with the terms thereof as of the date hereof or any severance plan, program, policy or guideline of any of the Acquired Companies in which such individual is eligible to participate as of the date hereof, and (ii) those severance benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies).

(e) The provisions of this Section 4.5 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) confer upon or give to any person (including for the avoidance of doubt any Affected Employees), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 4.5) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement, or (ii) constitute an amendment or modification of any Company Employee Plan.

(f) The Purchaser undertakes and shall cause an Acquired Company or an Affiliate of the Purchaser designated by the Purchaser to conclude at Closing a new employment contract and compromise agreement with each of [*****] (collectively, the “Assumed Individuals”), each of whom are subject to German or French employment agreements, as applicable, with the Seller’s Affiliate currently employing such individuals as identified on Part 4.5(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, so that each of the Assumed Individuals becomes, as of Closing, an employee of an Acquired Company or another Affiliate of the Purchaser designated by the Purchaser, based on the same terms and conditions that such Assumed Individuals are entitled to under their existing employment agreements, and maintaining in particular their seniority, remuneration level and any other benefits; provided, that each such compromise agreement shall contain a customary release and waiver provision by the applicable employee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Seller undertakes and shall cause an Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Acquired Companies) designated by the Seller to conclude at Closing a new employment contract and compromise agreement with Gen-Probe Belgium BVBA and each of [*****] (together, the “Retained Individuals”), who are currently subject to Belgian employment agreements with Gen-Probe Belgium BVBA, and the Seller’s designated Affiliate (other than the Acquired Companies), so that each of the Retained Individuals becomes, as of Closing, an employee of an Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Acquired Companies) designated by the Seller, based on the same terms and conditions that such Retained Individuals are entitled to under their existing employment agreements, and maintaining in particular their seniority, remuneration level and any other benefits; provided, that each such compromise agreement shall contain a customary release and waiver provision by the applicable employee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(g) Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall take all necessary actions to terminate each of the Acquired Companies’ status as a “Participating Employer” under the Gen-Probe Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, effective June 20, 2005, amended and restated January 1, 2008 (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). Seller shall assume any and all obligations and liabilities of the Acquired Companies with respect to the Deferred Compensation Plan (including applicable withholding and reporting obligations), and shall make payments to each employee of any Acquired Company who participated in the Deferred Compensation Plan prior to the Closing Date (the “DCP Participants”), in an amount equal to their full account balances under such plan as of the Closing Date (as adjusted for gains and losses and distributions from the Closing Date through the distribution date(s) as provided in the Deferred Compensation Plan), with such payments to be made as and when required pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. At least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser evidence that the Acquired Companies will not be “Participating Employers” or otherwise have any obligations of liabilities under the Deferred Compensation Plan following the Closing. The Seller shall provide Purchaser with proof that all payments have been made to the DCP Participants within five (5) days of the date such payments have been made.

Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Purchaser and the Acquired Companies, as appropriate, will cause to be filed all documents, and take such other steps, necessary to change the name of any Acquired Company to such other name that does not contain the word “Gen-Probe.” In addition, during a 180 day period following the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies may continue to use any and all materials currently used in the businesses of the Acquired Companies in whatever medium used, including, but not limited to, packaging bearing the name “Gen-Probe” (or any derivation thereof used in the businesses of the Acquired Companies), any Retained Name and Xxxx and any Composite Xxxx.

4.7 Director and Officer Liability.

(b) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy (at Seller’s option, either electronically in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf) format or hard copy) of drafts of (i) each Pre-Closing Income Return not later than twenty-four (24) days prior to the due date for such return, (ii) each Pro Forma Return not later than thirty-four (34) days prior to the due date for the Tax Return to which the Pro Forma Return relates together with supporting schedules and workpapers, including those not required to be filed with a Governmental Body and (iii) all other Pre-Closing Returns, not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the due date for such return or the date on which such return will be filed, as applicable. With respect to each Pre-Closing Return provided by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence, Seller will (a) cooperate, or cause the Seller Consolidated Group to cooperate, at its own expense, promptly with Purchaser’s review of each such return, including, but not limited to, discussing any provisions on the Pre-Closing Income Return as it relates to the Acquired Companies and any provisions on the Pro Forma Return, (b) in addition to the supporting schedules and workpapers provided pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, promptly provide Purchaser with a copy (at Seller’s option, either electronically in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf) format or hard copy) of back-up documentation relating to such Pre-Closing Returns as is reasonably requested with particularity by Purchaser in light of the facts then known by Purchaser (for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be obligated to respond to a general request for Tax Return work papers or back-up materials) and (c) upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, make available for Purchaser’s review, at Seller’s offices located near Boston, Massachusetts, during normal business hours the supporting schedules and workpapers relating to any Pre-Closing Return, including those not required to be filed with a Governmental Body. Purchaser shall review and comment on (x) each Pre-Closing Income Return as it relates to the Acquired Companies within ten (10) days from delivery to the Purchaser, (y) each Pro Forma Return within twenty (20) days from delivery to the Purchaser, and (z) each other Pre-Closing Return within thirty (30) days from delivery to the Purchaser (each such period, as applicable, the “Tax Review Period”). If the Purchaser does not submit comments within the applicable Tax Review Period, then the Purchaser will be deemed to have approved such Tax Return as prepared by the Seller Consolidated Group and the Seller Consolidated Group will file such Pre-Closing Return promptly following the expiration of the applicable Tax Review Period. If the Purchaser delivers comments to the Seller within the applicable Tax Review Period, then Seller shall make such changes to the applicable Tax Return as Purchaser may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, if Seller makes any change to a Pre-Closing Return following delivery of such Pre-Closing Return to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.3(b), then (i) the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a revised copy of such Tax Return by the earlier of (x) the date Seller determines in its reasonable discretion that there will be no further changes made to such Tax Return and (y) the date the Tax Return is filed with a Governmental Body, and with respect to all other Pre-Closing Tax Returns after making such change and (ii) a new Tax Review Period shall begin on the date that such Tax Return was delivered to Purchaser. In the event the Tax Review Period ends at any time after ten (10) days before the deadline to timely file such Tax Return (including all eligible extensions), then Seller shall have the right to timely file such Tax Return, so long as it agrees that it is legally able to file and will file an amended Tax Return, at its sole expense, to reflect any changes to such Tax Return that Purchaser may reasonably request within the applicable Tax Review Period. Purchaser and Seller shall use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute in connection with any of Purchaser’s comments pursuant to this Section 6.3(b), including meeting in person or telephonically, with (i) Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives and (ii) the Seller Consolidated Group and Seller Consolidated Group’s representatives.

(c) The Seller shall promptly remit to Purchaser any refund or credit of Taxes (including any interest thereon) received by or credited to any member of the Seller Consolidated Group or any Affiliate of any member of the Seller Consolidated Group (in each case, excluding the Acquired Companies) that is attributable to the carryback of a Tax attribute (including without limitation, a net operating loss, a net capital loss, a foreign tax credit, an alternative minimum tax credit, or a research and development credit) arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period.

6.6 Tax Contests.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 8.5, any Proceedings or claim concerning Taxes of any Acquired Company shall be governed by this Section 6.6. The Purchaser shall notify the Seller upon receipt by any of the Acquired Companies, the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser or the Acquired Companies of any Proceedings or claim received from any Governmental Body with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which the Seller would be required to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6 (a “Tax Matter”); provided, however, that no delay on the part of Purchaser in notifying the Seller will relieve Seller from any obligations under Section 6 or Section 8, except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices Seller. Seller shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from Purchaser of any Tax Matter, to assume the defense of any material Tax Matter, in each case, at the Seller’s sole cost, so long as the Tax Matter does not involve an issue relating to Taxes for any Tax period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period and provided that Seller has delivered to Purchaser a notice stating that Seller will, and thereby, covenants to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against the entirety of any and all Damages the Indemnified Party has suffered or may suffer resulting from or related to the Tax Matter. If the Seller assumes such defense, then: (i) Seller will pay any amount that is required by any Governmental Body to be surrendered, deposited, posted as collateral, or otherwise paid in any way (even if on a temporary basis) in order to pursue the defense of such claim; (ii) Seller will have the authority, with respect to such Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Acquired Companies before the relevant Governmental Body; (iii) Purchaser has the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Seller; and (iv) Seller will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement of such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld, provided, however, that Purchaser’s consent shall not be considered to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld if Purchaser determines in its reasonable discretion that Seller’s proposed consent, compromise or settlement would adversely affect the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate of the foregoing for any Tax period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Purchaser will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller all powers of attorney necessary for the Seller to conduct the defense of such Tax Matter pursuant to this Section 6.7(a). Seller’s obligations under Section 6 and Section 8 shall not be affected by whether Seller elects or fails to elect to control, if permitted, the Tax Matter.

[*****] Confidential material redacted and separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(b) If the Seller does not elect to assume the defense of any Tax Matter as provided in Section 6.6(a), the Purchaser shall represent the interests of the Acquired Companies with respect to any Tax Matter before the relevant Governmental Body and shall control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. The Seller will have the right (but not the duty) to participate in (but may not appear of record in or otherwise attempt to control) the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser will be entitled to defend, settle, or otherwise dispose of the Tax Matter in its sole discretion (including by fully and immediately paying any demanded amounts) and any such amounts paid and any other Damages otherwise incurred by Purchaser in such defense are indemnifiable as under Section 6 and/or Section 8.

6.7 Transfer Taxes. Any sales or use taxes, transfer taxes, stamp taxes, excise taxes, documentary charges, or similar taxes, charges, fees or expenses that may become payable in connection with the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally by the Purchaser and the Seller when due. Seller will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges and, if required by applicable law, Purchaser will (and will cause its Affiliates to) join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

6.8 Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements, Tax allocation agreements or similar agreements and all powers of attorney with respect to or involving any Acquired Company will be terminated prior to the Closing and, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies will not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

6.9 Payment of Taxes. The Seller shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes of GPH, GTI, and GPH’s and GTI’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (including all Taxes includible due to the Transactions and any such Taxes that may become a Liability of the Purchaser under any doctrine of de facto merger or transferee or successor liability) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and all Taxes of the Seller, the members of the Seller Consolidated Group, and Seller’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and their Affiliates (including all taxes includible due to the Transactions and any such Taxes that may become a Liability of the Purchaser under any doctrine of de facto merger or transferee or successor liability). Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall be responsible and pay for any sales, use or similar Taxes imposed on or with respect to sales of goods or services by any of the Seller, the members of the Seller Consolidated Group, and the Seller’s, GPH’s and GTI’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and their Affiliates (or their predecessors) on or prior to the Closing Date, including any such Taxes that may be applicable as a result of a failure of the Seller to obtain or retain documentation necessary or desirable to establish an exemption from any such Taxes (the “Pre-Closing Sales Taxes”) and any Damages (including Tax filing preparation costs and costs incurred in determining the amount of such Taxes) relating thereto or arising therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall be entitled to file a voluntary disclosure agreement or other agreement relating to the Pre-Closing Sales Taxes, so long as the Purchaser in it is sole discretion either (i) uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain exemption certificates to minimize the Pre-Closing Sales Taxes, or, (ii) permits Seller to seek to obtain exemption certificates to minimize the Pre-Closing Sales Taxes for a period not less than 30 days, so long as the Seller agrees to actively and diligently seek such certificates during such period); provided further that Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any Damages or other costs incurred by the Purchaser in performing its obligations under this Section 6.9; provided further that, if Purchaser files a voluntary disclosure agreement or other agreement relating to the Pre-Closing Sales Taxes pursuant to this Section 6.9 and, solely as a result of Purchaser’s failure to comply with the terms of that agreement, additional interest and penalties are assessed that would not have arisen solely but for the Purchaser’s failure to comply, Seller shall not be required to pay any such additional interest and penalties.

6.10 Purchase Price Allocation. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of its proposed allocation of the Purchase Price among the GPH Shares and the GTI Shares. If within forty-five (45) days after Purchaser delivers the proposed allocation, Seller notifies Purchaser in writing of any objection to the proposed allocation (specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such objection in light of the facts then known), Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts for fifteen (15) days to resolve such dispute; provided that, any item or amount the Seller does not dispute in reasonable detail during Seller’s forty-five (45) review period shall be final, conclusive and binding. If Purchaser and Seller are able to resolve such dispute, they shall make such revisions to the proposed allocation as are necessary to reflect such resolution which shall be final and binding. In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve one or more disputed items within fifteen (15) days of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written dispute, the Dispute Auditor shall resolve the disputed items and shall cause the proposed allocation to be corrected and the Dispute Auditor’s findings shall be set forth in a written statement to Seller and Purchaser. Any determination made by the Dispute Auditor pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the parties hereto, absent manifest error, gross negligence or fraud. The costs, fees and expenses of the Dispute Auditor shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Any subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the prior allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.10. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that all relevant Tax Returns or other Tax information they may file or cause to be filed with any Governmental Body shall be prepared and filed consistently with such allocations.

(c) by the Seller if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred which would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 not to be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date or is not cured by the earlier of (i) ten (10) business days following written notice to Purchaser by the Seller of such breach and (ii) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Seller is not then in material breach of this Agreement so as to cause (x) such breach by Purchaser or (y) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 not to be satisfied; or

SECTION 8. Indemnification, Etc.

8.1 Survival of Representations and Covenants. The representations and warranties of each party shall survive the Closing hereunder and continue in full force and effect until their expiration at 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.18 (Tax) shall continue in full force and effect until the sixtieth (60th) day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (ii) the Fundamental Representations shall continue in full force and effect indefinitely. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms contemplate actions or impose obligations following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, except that the Seller’s indemnification covenant set forth in [*****] shall expire [*****] (unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of [*****]. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms contemplate full performance at or prior to Closing shall terminate on the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnification Demand relating to a representation and warranty or covenant is given to the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, on or prior to the time and date of expiration for such representation or warranty or covenant, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.1, such representation or warranty or covenant shall not, solely for the purposes of such Indemnification Demand, so expire, but rather shall remain in full force and effect until such time as each and every Claim set forth in such Indemnification Demand has been fully and finally resolved. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item for indemnification purposes as contemplated by this Section 8.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby for indemnification purposes. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 8.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation between the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

(vii) any common law fraud;

provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification obligations of Seller under Section 8.2(a)(v) shall not be qualified or otherwise limited by any statement or other information set forth on the Disclosure Schedule (including, without limitation, Part 2.18 of the Disclosure Schedule), and no indemnification claim arising from or relating to the matter described on Part 8.2(a)(vi) of the Disclosure Schedule may be made other than pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vi).

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in this Agreement other than the Fundamental Representations;

(ii) any breach of any Fundamental Representation made by the Purchaser in this Agreement;

(iii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

(iv) any common law fraud.

For purposes of determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty of this Agreement has occurred and for purposes of determining any Damages resulting from or relating to any such breach, all qualifications as to “material”, “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or other qualifiers of similar import contained in such representations and warranties (other than those set forth in Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.5(b)) shall be disregarded.

8.3 Limitations. Subject to Section 1.3, Section 1.6, Section 6.10, Section 8.3(d), Section 8.3(e), Section 9.2 and Section 9.8, from and after the Closing, this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims that any party may have based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of this Agreement.

(a) The Seller shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) until such time as (i) the total amount of all Damages relating to any breach (with the understanding that any Damages relating to any indemnification claims arising out of or relating to the same or similar facts, events or circumstances will be aggregated and treated as a single breach for the purposes of this Section 8.3(a)(i)) exceeds [*****] (the “Claim Threshold”), at which point the Seller will indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees, subject to the other applicable limitations in this Section 8, for any such Damages, and (ii) the total amount of all Damages that have been suffered or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), excluding Damages for which indemnification is not available as a result of the application of the Claim Threshold, exceeds [*****] (the “Deductible”), at which point the Seller will indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for all Damages under Section 8.2(a)(i) in excess of [*****], and the Seller’s aggregate liability in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) will not exceed [*****] in the aggregate (the “Cap”).

The Seller will indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vii) without limitation. For the avoidance of doubt, the dollar thresholds set forth in Section 2.15(f) shall (X) only apply to indemnification claims specifically brought by a Purchaser Indemnitee for a breach of Seller’s representation in Section 2.15 (which indemnification claims shall remain subject to the other limitations contained in this Section 8.3, as applicable) and (Y) not otherwise limit any indemnification claims brought by a Purchaser Indemnitee for a breach of any other representation, warranty and covenant under this Agreement.

[*****] Confidential material redacted and separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(b) The Seller shall not be required to make any indemnification payment to the extent that such payment solely results from or solely relates to (i) a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller under Section 2.18, (ii) a breach of a covenant or obligation under Section 6, and/or (iii) an indemnification claim under Section 8.2(a)(v), until such time as the total amount of all Damages that have been suffered or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees under subparts (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in the aggregate exceeds [*****] (the “Tax Deductible”), at which point the Seller will indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for all such Damages in excess of the Tax Deductible.

(c) The Purchaser shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) until such time as (i) the total amount of all Damages that have been suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) relating to any breach (with the understanding that any Damages relating to any indemnification claims arising out of or relating to the same or similar facts, events or circumstances, will be aggregated and treated as a single breach for the purposes of this Section 8.3(c)(i)) exceeds the Claim Threshold, at which point the Purchaser will indemnify the Seller Indemnitees, subject to the other applicable limitations in this Section 8, for any such Damages and (ii) the total amount of all Damages that have been suffered or incurred by one or more of the Seller Indemnitees under Section 8.2(b)(i), excluding Damages for which indemnification is not available as a result of the application of the Claim Threshold, exceeds the Deductible, at which point the Purchaser will indemnify the Seller Indemnitees for all Damages under Section 8.2(b)(i) in excess of [*****], and the Purchaser’s aggregate liability in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) will not exceed the Cap. The Claim Threshold, Deductible and Cap shall not apply to indemnification claims pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(ii) through Section 8.2(b)(iv), and the Purchaser will indemnify the Seller Indemnitees for aggregate Damages pursuant to Sections 8.2(b)(ii) and Section 8.2(b)(iii) up to the aggregate Purchase Price paid to the Seller. The Purchaser will indemnify the Seller Indemnitees for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv) without limitation.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 8 shall not set forth the sole and exclusive remedy for (i) the Purchaser Indemnitees in the case of common law fraud of the Seller or any of its Affiliates or any director, manager, officer, employee, equityholder, agent or representative of any of the foregoing or (ii) the Seller Indemnitees in the case of common law fraud of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any director, manager, officer, employee, equityholder, agent or representative of any of the foregoing.

[*****] Confidential material redacted and separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall limit either party’s ability to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement by a decree of specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief.

8.4 Indemnification Claims.

(a) In order for an Indemnified Party to seek indemnification under this Section 8, such Indemnified Party shall deliver, in good faith, a written demand (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Indemnifying Party which contains (i) an estimate of the Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred (the “Asserted Damages Amount”) by the Indemnified Party (to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party), (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor (the “Claim”), in each case, in reasonable detail in light of the facts then known to the Indemnified Party; provided that, no defect in the information contained in the Indemnification Demand from the Indemnified Party to any Indemnifying Party will relieve such Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Section 8, except to the extent such failure to include information actually prejudices such Indemnifying Party. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of an Indemnification Demand to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Asserted Damages Amount; (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Asserted Damages Amount (such portion, the “Agreed Portion”); or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Response within such twenty (20) day period or if the Indemnifying Party agrees that the Indemnified Party is entitled to any or all of the Asserted Damages Amount, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such amount to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Indemnified Party.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall (i) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount, or (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to only the Agreed Portion of the Asserted Damages Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of the indemnification claims that comprise the Asserted Damages Amount (or the portion of the Asserted Damages Amount not comprising the Agreed Portion). If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within twenty (20) days after delivery of a Response, such dispute may be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.6.

8.5 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) Subject to Section 6.6, in the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or another Indemnified Party of any Proceeding (whether against the Seller, any Acquired Company, the Purchaser or any other Person) with respect to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification or any other remedy pursuant to this Section 8 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such Proceeding. The Claim Notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by the third party making such claim (to the extent then in the possession of the Indemnified Party) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount of the estimated Damages, in each case, in reasonable detail in light of the facts then known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Section 8 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Proceeding through counsel selected by it (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice that it will defend the Third Party Claim within twenty (20) days, or such shorter period of time as may be necessary in light of the facts and circumstances of the Third Party Claim, after the Indemnified Party has delivered the Claim Notice to the Indemnified Party stating that the Indemnifying Party will, and thereby covenants to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Damages the Indemnified Party has suffered or may suffer resulting from or related to the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory Proceeding and (iv) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all costs, fees and expenses arising out of or relating to a Third Party Claim that an Indemnifying Party is defending pursuant to this Section 8.5(a) shall be the sole responsibility of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may not settle, adjust or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of all material developments in such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim (but may not appear of record or otherwise attempt to control the defense), through counsel of its own choosing (at its sole expense).

(b) Within twenty (20) days of delivery of the Claim Notice, or such shorter period of time as may be necessary in light of the facts and circumstances of the Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party has not elected to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a) or if the Indemnifying Party otherwise fails to contest or conduct such defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to contest the Third Party Claim or to defend such Third Party Claim to conclusion or settlement (and the Indemnified Person need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith). If the Indemnified Party elects to conduct such defense in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such Third Party Claim (but may not appear of record or otherwise attempt to control the defense). The Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party advised of all material developments in such Third Party Claim. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party and other costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.5(b).

[*****] Confidential material redacted and separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(c) In any case, the party not in control of the Third Party Claim will cooperate with the other party in the conduct of the prosecution or defense of such Third Party Claim.

8.6 No Circular Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it will not make any claim for indemnification against the Purchaser, any Purchaser Indemnitee or any Acquired Company by reason of the fact that the Seller was a controlling person or representative of any Acquired Company with respect to any claim brought by a Purchaser Indemnitee against the Seller relating to this Agreement or the Transactions or that is based on any facts or circumstances that form the basis for a Claim by a Purchaser Indemnitee hereunder.

8.7 Tax Treatment. The Purchaser and Seller will treat any indemnification payment received pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax and financial reporting purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable law, regulation and financial reporting rules, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

8.8 Set-off. Any Claim that is finally resolved pursuant to Section 8.4 and results in Seller owing an amount to a Purchaser Indemnitee, shall be paid, at the Purchaser’s option, by (i) setoff against the Performance Payment to the extent that any Performance Payment is due and owing to the Seller but not yet paid, (ii) requiring the Seller to make such payment by cash or (iii) any combination of subparts (i) and (ii) of this sentence.

SECTION 9. Miscellaneous Provisions

9.1 Further Assurances.
