Effective as of the Effective Time, (a) Sunrise Employees shall remain or become employees of the Sunrise Companies in the same capacities as then held by such employees (or in such other capacities and upon such terms and conditions as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion) and (b) Newco Employees shall remain or become employees of the Newco Companies in the same capacities as then held by such employees (or in such other capacities and upon such terms and conditions as Newco shall determine in its sole discretion). Nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall confer on any Sunrise Employee or any Newco Employee any right to continued employment after the Effective Time, and such employees shall continue to be employed “at-will” subject to any requirements under applicable foreign law to the contrary. Newco or a subsidiary thereof shall employ the Transition Employees to perform, among other things, the services contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement. The compensation to be paid, and benefits to be provided, to such Transition Employees shall be borne by Newco, subject to the reimbursement and expense payment provisions of the Transition Services Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sunrise Companies shall be responsible for all retention bonuses paid to and severance costs associated with such Transition Employees.
6.2 Liabilities and Obligations Generally. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3, effective as of the Effective Time, Newco shall assume and be solely responsible for all Liabilities including, without limitation, any Liabilities in respect of the failure to maintain the favorable tax status of any Newco Benefit Plan or Newco Replacement Benefit Plan and obligations related to (i) the Newco Employees and (ii) the former employees of the Company and its subsidiaries whose primary responsibilities related to the Newco Business. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3, effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall assume (if applicable) and be solely responsible for all Liabilities and obligations related to (i) the Sunrise Employees and (ii) the former employees of the Company and its subsidiaries whose primary responsibilities related to the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries other than the Newco Business. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and Newco agree (i) that the transactions contemplated by this Restructuring Agreement shall not constitute a termination of employment of any Sunrise Employee or any Newco Employee
18
that would entitle such employee to receive severance or similar compensation and benefits and (ii) to use their reasonable best efforts to amend, if necessary, any applicable Benefits Plans to so provide.
6.3 Employee Benefits. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.2 above:
(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, Newco shall assume sponsorship of each employee benefit, welfare benefit, employment, personal services, compensation, change in control, severance, time-off, perquisite and other benefit plan, policy or agreement (“Benefit Plans”) relating exclusively to one or more Newco Employees (the “Newco Benefit Plans”) and any trusts related thereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, any defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of employees in Ireland shall be deemed to be a Newco Benefit Plan. To the extent any Newco Employee participates prior to the Effective Time in Benefit Plans that are not a Newco Benefit Plans, Newco shall establish and maintain or cause to be established or maintained for the benefit of Newco Employees, as of the Effective Time, Benefit Plans (which, for purposes of this Section 6.3(a), shall not include equity plans) that provide substantially comparable benefits to those provided to such Newco Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Newco Replacement Benefit Plans”). As of the Effective Time, except as required by applicable law, Newco Employees shall cease to participate in any Benefit Plan that is not a Newco Benefit Plan and shall commence participation in the Newco Replacement Benefit Plans.
(b) In the event the Sunrise Employees or former employees of the Company and its subsidiaries whose primary responsibilities related to the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries other than the Newco Business participate in a Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan that is maintained by Newco or its subsidiaries, Newco and the Company shall cause to be transferred from such Benefit Plan to a Benefit Plan established or maintained by the Company or Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries the liabilities in respect of such participants, and assets in an amount, subject to applicable law, equal to such liabilities, determined on a projected benefit basis based on actuarial assumptions mutually agreed by Newco and Parent. In addition, in the event the Newco Employees or former employees of the Company and its
19
subsidiaries whose primary responsibilities related to the Newco Business participate in a Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan that is maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries, Newco and the Company shall cause to be transferred from such Benefit Plan to a Benefit Plan established or maintained by Newco or any of its subsidiaries the liabilities in respect of such participants, and assets in an amount, subject to applicable law, equal to such liabilities, determined on a projected benefit basis based on actuarial assumptions mutually agreed by Newco and Parent.
(c) Effective as of the Effective Time, with respect to those collective bargaining agreements to which the Company or its subsidiaries is a party, Newco shall assume the collective bargaining agreements covering Newco Employees, and the Company shall assume the collective bargaining agreements covering the Sunrise Employees, and each of Newco and the Company shall take all other actions necessary to ensure that Newco and the Company remain solely responsible for the Liabilities and obligations under such collective bargaining agreements covering the Newco Employees and the Sunrise Employees, respectively.
6.4 Preservation of Rights to Amend or Terminate Plans. Except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement or this Restructuring Agreement, no provision of this Restructuring Agreement shall be construed as a limitation on the right of the Company or Newco to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan which right the Company or Newco would otherwise have under the terms of such Benefit Plan or otherwise, and no provision of this Restructuring Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any employee or beneficiary of such Benefit Plan that such employee or beneficiary would not otherwise have under the terms of the Benefit Plan itself.
6.5 Reimbursement; Indemnification. Newco and the Company acknowledge that the Company, on the one hand, and Newco, on the other hand, may incur costs and expenses (including, without limitation, contributions to plans and the payment of insurance, or other similar premiums) pursuant to any of the Benefit Plans which are, as set forth in this Restructuring Agreement, the responsibility of the other party. Accordingly, the Company and Newco agree to reimburse each other, as soon as practicable but in any event within 30 days of receipt from the other party of appropriate verification, for all such costs and expenses reasonably incurred. If applicable foreign laws require that (i) the Company incur Liabilities in respect of Newco
20
Employees or (ii) Newco incur Liabilities in respect of Sunrise Employees, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, then Newco or the Company, respectively, shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the Company or Newco, as applicable, to the extent of such Liabilities. All Liabilities retained, assumed or indemnified by Newco pursuant to this Article VI shall in each case be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities, and all Liabilities retained, assumed or indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Article VI shall in each case be deemed to be Sunrise Liabilities, and, in each case, shall be subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article II of the Post-Closing Covenants Agreement.
6.6 Employment, Consulting and Severance Agreements. Effective as of the Effective Time and except as set forth in Section 6.7 hereof, Newco and the Company shall take all actions necessary (including assignments, if applicable) to ensure that with respect to any employment, consulting, deferred compensation, indemnification, termination, severance or any other agreements with a Newco Employee or a Sunrise Employee, to which any of the Sunrise Companies or Newco Companies is a party, as the same are in effect immediately prior to such time, any such agreement with a Newco Employee shall be assumed by Newco, and that any such agreement with a Sunrise Employee shall be assumed by the Company, and in respect of which Newco or the Company, as the case may be, becomes solely responsible for the obligations and Liabilities (and solely entitled to the rights) under such agreements.
6.7 Equity Awards. Prior to the Effective Time, and immediately prior to the conversion of Sunrise Options (as defined below) into Adjusted Options, Newco and the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (each an “Original Option”) to be converted into an option to purchase Company Common Stock and an option to purchase Newco Common Stock (“Sunrise Options” and “Newco Options”, respectively). The number of shares of Newco Common Stock subject to a Newco Option shall equal the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Original Option multiplied by the Newco Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share), and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to a Sunrise Option shall equal the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Original Option. The exercise price of the Sunrise Option, and the exercise price of the Newco Option shall each be set, so that the combined exercise price of such options to purchase Company Common Stock and Newco Common Stock equals that of the existing Original Option, and shall be allocated
21
between the Sunrise Option and the Newco Option as set forth below, such that a holder of an Original Option will pay the same aggregate exercise price and will receive the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock and Newco Common Stock that such holder would have received as Merger Consideration and Split-Off Consideration, respectively, if such holder had exercised the Original Option immediately prior to the Split-Off and Merger. The aggregate exercise price of an Original Option shall be allocated to the Sunrise Option and the Newco Option issuable upon conversion thereof in proportion to the deemed fair market value of the Split-Off Consideration and the Merger Consideration which would be issued upon conversion of one share of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Merger Agreement, which deemed fair market value shall be determined with reference to the closing prices of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE and Newco Common Stock on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, on the first full trading day following the Effective Time, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other source to which Parent, the Company and Newco may agree).
The exercise price per share of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Sunrise Option shall be equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price allocated to such Sunrise Option in accordance with the foregoing for the shares of Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Sunrise Option divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Sunrise Option in accordance with the foregoing provided that such per share exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The exercise price per share of Newco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Newco Option shall be equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price allocated to such Newco Option in accordance with the foregoing for the shares of Newco Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Newco Option divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Newco Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Newco Option in accordance with the foregoing provided that such per share exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
All other terms of the Original Options will continue to apply to the Sunrise Options and the Newco Options (and the Adjusted Options, following the conversion of the Sunrise Options in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Merger Agreement) except that (i) all Sunrise Options will be fully vested and immediately exercisable at and after the Effective Time, (ii) all Sunrise Options (and the Adjusted Options issuable upon conversion of such Sunrise Options pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Merger Agreement)
22
which will be held by persons other than persons who are Sunrise Employees will remain exercisable for the remainder of the originally stated term of such Sunrise Option irrespective of employment by or service to, or continued employment by or service to, Parent, any Sunrise Company (including the Company), Newco or any Newco Company, (iii) all Newco Options will be fully vested and immediately exercisable at and after the Effective Time and (iv) all Newco Options which will be held by persons other than persons who are Newco Employees will remain exercisable for the remainder of the originally stated term of such Newco Option irrespective of employment by or service to, or continued employment by or service to, Parent, any Sunrise Company (including the Company), Newco or any Newco Company. Each of the Company’s and Newco’s Board of Directors (or, if appropriate, any committee of such Board of Directors administering the applicable stock plans) shall take such action, if any, as is necessary to effect the matters set forth in the foregoing sentence. Newco will be responsible for the delivery of shares of Newco Common Stock upon exercise of a Newco Option, and the Company will be responsible for the delivery of shares of Company Common Stock upon exercise of a Sunrise Option. Newco shall take such action (including adopting, if appropriate, equity award plans) as is necessary or appropriate to effect the foregoing.
6.8 Actions By Newco. Any action required to be taken under this Article VI may be taken by one or more of the Newco Companies.
6.9 No Termination. The Company and Newco shall take such actions as are required to provide that for purposes of the Sunrise Options and the Newco Options and for severance benefits, each Newco Employee shall be deemed not to have incurred a termination of employment as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Restructuring Agreement and the Merger Agreement. If under applicable law, any Sunrise Employee or Newco Employee employed outside the U.S. is deemed to have incurred a termination of employment as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Restructuring Agreement, which entitles such individual to receive any payment or benefit under any non-U.S. Benefit Plan, governmental plan or arrangement or pursuant to any law or regulation, including severance benefits, notwithstanding such individual’s continued employment by Newco or the Company then notwithstanding any other provision hereof, to the extent Legally Permitted, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the treatment of such individual during such continued employment, including not giving such individual credit for prior service and/or
23
treating such individual as having been newly hired immediately after such deemed termination, for purposes of all applicable non-U.S. Plans. For purposes of this Agreement, “Legally Permitted” shall mean permitted under the laws of the country, the labor union, works council, or collective agreement, including mandated waiting periods before which working conditions (including benefits) cannot be changed, and upon receiving required agreement from individual employees and/or Benefit Plan trustees, foundation boards and members, and any other organizations having a recognized right to determine or affect benefits and/or funding of the Benefit Plan.
6.10 Certain IML Employees. (a) With respect to certain employees of Inverness Medical Limited located in its Didcot, Oxford office, namely Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Company agrees during the ninety-day period after the date hereof to review the nature of each employee’s work to determine whether such work relates to the Diabetes Business. If the Company determines in its sole discretion that the work of such employee is not related to the Diabetes Business, the Company agrees to release such employee from the provisions of Section 6.1 of this Agreement. Each employee so released shall thereafter be considered a “Newco Employee” for purposes of this Agreement effective as of the date of such determination. For purposes of clarification only, each employee not so released shall remain a Sunrise Employee for purposes of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.1 of this Agreement and Schedule 1.1(b) hereto, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, an employee of Inverness Medical Limited located in its Didcot, Oxford office, shall be deemed to be a “Newco Employee” for purposes of this Agreement. In addition, Newco agrees to cause and direct Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx during the twelve-month period after the date of this Agreement to dedicate as much time as is reasonably required by the Company to performing transition services for and on behalf of the Company.
ARTICLE VII
Warrants
7.1 Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, and immediately prior to the conversion of Sunrise Warrants (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6.04(g) of the Merger Agreement, Newco and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions to cause each outstanding warrant to purchase
24
Company Common Stock (each an “Original Warrant”) to be converted into a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock and a warrant to purchase Newco Common Stock (“Sunrise Warrants” and “Newco Warrants”, respectively). The number of shares of Newco Common Stock subject to a Newco Warrant shall equal the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Original Warrant multiplied by the Newco Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole share), and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to a Sunrise Warrant shall equal the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Original Warrant. The exercise price of the Sunrise Warrant, and the exercise price of the Newco Warrant shall each be set, so that the combined exercise price of such warrants to purchase Company Common Stock and Newco Common Stock equals that of the existing Original Warrant, and shall be allocated between the Sunrise Warrant and the Newco Warrant as set forth below, such that a holder of an Original Warrant will pay the same aggregate exercise price and will receive the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock and Newco Common Stock that such holder would have received as Merger Consideration and Split-Off Consideration, respectively if such holder had exercised the Original Warrant immediately prior to the Spli-Off and Merger. The aggregate exercise price of an Original Warrant shall be allocated to the Sunrise Warrant and the Newco Warrant issuable upon conversion thereof in proportion to the deemed fair market value of the Split-Off Consideration and the Merger Consideration which would be issued upon conversion of one share of Company Common stock pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Merger Agreement, which deemed fair market value shall be determined with reference to the closing prices of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE and Newco Common Stock on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq on the first full trading day following the Effective Time, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other source to which Parent, the Company and Newco may agree).
The exercise price per share of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Sunrise Warrant shall be equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price allocated to such Sunrise Warrant in accordance with the foregoing for the shares of Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Sunrise Warrant divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Sunrise Warrant in accordance with the foregoing provided that such per share exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The exercise price per share of Newco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Newco Warrant shall be equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price allocated to such Newco Warrant in accordance with the foregoing for the shares of Newco Common
25
Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Newco Warrant divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Newco Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Newco Warrant in accordance with the foregoing provided that such per share exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. All other terms of the Original Warrants will continue to apply to the Sunrise Warrants and the Newco Warrants (and the Adjusted Warrants, following the conversion of the Sunrise Warrants in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Merger Agreement). Newco will be responsible for the delivery of shares of Newco Common Stock upon exercise of a Newco Warrant, and the Company will be responsible for the delivery of shares of Company Common Stock upon exercise of a Sunrise Warrant.
ARTICLE VIII

The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Restructuring Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Restructuring Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Restructuring Agreement in any Federal court located in the State of Delaware in any state court in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
30
to modify this Restructuring Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
10.13 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Agreements (including the documents and the instruments referred to herein and in the Merger Agreement, the Annexes hereto and to the Merger Agreement, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the Company Disclosure Schedule), and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
