(vi) Seller shall deliver to Buyer the certificate required to be provided by Seller pursuant to Section 6.3(b).

(vii) Seller shall have received any resignations requested by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.16(c).

Section 2.5 Estimate of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement. Seller shall deliver to Buyer at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date: (a) Seller’s good faith estimates of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and (b) a closing statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), setting forth Seller’s good faith calculation of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), which shall be determined as of the Effective Time and taking into account, and setting forth as separate line items, all provisions establishing the basis for such calculation set forth in Section 2.2, including Seller’s good faith calculation of Net Working Capital (“Estimated Net Working Capital”), Acquired Companies Cash (“Estimated Acquired Companies Cash”), Unpaid Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Unpaid

Transaction Expenses”), the Required Statutory Capital Amount Target (“Estimated Required Statutory Capital Amount Target”) and Acquired Companies Indebtedness (“Estimated Acquired Companies Indebtedness”), in each case, together with supporting documentation used by Seller in calculating such amounts. The Estimated Closing Statement (including the calculations therein) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Exhibit C and in accordance with the Accounting Principles, applied on a basis consistent with the 2016 Year-End Financial Statements; provided that Net Working Capital, Acquired Companies Cash, Unpaid Transaction Expenses, Estimated Required Statutory Capital Amount Target and Acquired Companies Indebtedness shall also be calculated in accordance with the definitions of those terms herein (and any other defined terms incorporated therein).

Section 2.6 Preliminary Adjustment Statement; Determination of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller the following (collectively, the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”):

(i) the Closing Date Balance Sheet; and

(ii) a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Purchase Price, which shall be determined as of the Effective Time and taking into account, and setting forth as separate line items, all provisions establishing the basis for such calculation set forth in Section 2.2, including Buyer’s good faith calculation of Net Working Capital, in each case, together with supporting documentation used by Buyer in calculating such amount. The Closing Statement (including the calculations therein) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Exhibit C and in accordance with the Accounting Principles, applied on a basis consistent with the 2016 Year-End Financial Statements; provided that Net Working Capital, Acquired Companies Cash, Unpaid Transaction Expenses, the Required Statutory Capital Amount Target and Acquired Companies Indebtedness shall also be calculated in accordance with the definitions of those terms herein (and any other defined terms incorporated therein).

(b) Seller shall be given reasonable access during normal business hours and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations of Buyer and its Affiliates to all supporting documents and work papers used in the preparation of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement (including, the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement) as reasonably requested in connection with the matters discussed in Section 2.6(a).

(c) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Preliminary Adjustment Statement; provided, however, that Seller shall have notified Buyer in writing of each disputed item (collectively, the “Disputed Items”), specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute (a “Protest Notice”), within 45 days following Seller’s receipt of the deliverables specified in Section 2.6(a). To the extent Seller provides a Protest Notice within 45 days following Seller’s receipt of the deliverables specified in Section 2.6(a), all items that are not Disputed Items shall be final and binding for all purposes hereunder. In the event Seller does not provide a Protest Notice to Buyer within 45

days following Seller’s receipt of the deliverables specified in Section 2.6(a), Seller shall be deemed to have accepted in full the Preliminary Adjustment Statement. After receipt by Buyer of a Protest Notice, Buyer and Seller shall meet by telephone, or at a mutually agreeable location, to discuss and attempt to reconcile their differences, in good faith, with respect to, and the amounts in respect of, the Disputed Items. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution within 30 days after receipt by Buyer of the Protest Notice (unless such period is otherwise extended by the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller), Buyer and Seller shall within 60 days after receipt by Buyer of the Protest Notice submit the remaining Disputed Items for resolution to the Neutral Accountant, which shall be instructed by Buyer and Seller to determine and report to Buyer and Seller upon the resolution of such remaining Disputed Items within 30 days after such submission (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Neutral Accountant shall consider only those items and amounts which are remaining Disputed Items). Each of Buyer and Seller will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Neutral Accountant any material such Party deems relevant to the Neutral Accountant’s determination. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Neutral Accountant such work papers, financial information, books, records, schedules, memoranda, and other documents and information relating to the remaining Disputed Items as the Neutral Accountant may request; provided that such access shall not include any access to documents to the extent prepared primarily in anticipation of, or for the purposes of evaluating, any potential dispute, litigation, or arbitration relating to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement or the Protest Notice. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on the supporting material provided by Buyer and Seller which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement and not on the basis of an independent investigation or review. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to its determination of each Disputed Item, the Neutral Accountant: (i) may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by Buyer and Seller, or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Item claimed by Buyer and Seller and (ii) must make its determinations in accordance with the standards and definitions in this Agreement. The costs, fees and disbursements of the Neutral Accountant shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining Disputed Items so submitted to the Neutral Accountant that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant) bears to the total amount of such remaining Disputed Items so submitted. For example, if it is Buyer’s position that the adjustment owed is $300, it is Seller’s position that the adjustment owed is $100 and the Neutral Accountant’s finding is that the adjustment owed is $250, then Buyer shall pay 25% ((300-250) / (300-100)) of the Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses and Seller shall pay 75% ((250-100) / (300-100)) of the Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, the Neutral Accountant will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and will address only those elements of the Closing Statement that are in dispute and submitted to the Neutral Accountant for resolution. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Neutral Accountant shall be limited to whether the relevant calculations were performed in accordance with the terms hereof, whether the accounting methods, standards, policies, practices, classifications, estimation methodologies, assumptions and procedures used to prepare the Closing Statement were consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and whether there were mathematical errors in the calculation of the Closing Statements, and the Neutral Accountant shall not make any other determination. The Neutral Accountant is not authorized or permitted to make any determination as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement (except this Section 2.6 and the defined terms used herein), the accuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the compliance by any Party or any of its Affiliates with any of the covenants in this Agreement.

(d) It is the intent of the Parties to have any determination of Disputed Items by the Neutral Accountant proceed in an expeditious manner; provided that, any deadline or time period contained herein relating to the determination of the Disputed Items may be extended or modified by agreement of the Parties and the Parties agree that the failure of the Neutral Accountant to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Neutral Accountant.

(e) The items set forth on the Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.6 upon the earlier of: (i) the failure of Seller to issue a Protest Notice to Buyer within 45 days following Seller’s receipt of the deliverables specified in Section 2.6(a), (ii) the resolution of all Disputed Items pursuant to Section 2.6(a) by Buyer and Seller, and (iii) the resolution of all remaining Disputed Items pursuant to Section 2.6(c) by the Neutral Accountant (which shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover). The amount of Acquired Companies Cash, the amount of Acquired Companies Indebtedness, Net Working Capital, the Required Statutory Capital Amount Target and the amount of Unpaid Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be referred to herein respectively as “Final Acquired Companies Cash,” “Final Acquired Companies Indebtedness,” “Final Net Working Capital,” “Final Required Statutory Capital Amount Target” and “Final Unpaid Transaction Expenses”. Neither Buyer nor Seller will disclose to the Neutral Accountant, and the Neutral Accountant will not consider for any purpose, any settlement discussions or settlement offer made by or on behalf of Buyer or Seller, unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by Buyer and Seller. The final determinations of such matters shall be non-appealable and incontestable by the Parties and each of their respective Affiliates and not subject to collateral attack for any reason other than actual and deliberate fraud.

(f) If, after the final determination of Final Acquired Companies Cash, Final Acquired Companies Indebtedness, Final Net Working Capital, Final Required Statutory Capital Amount Target and Final Unpaid Transaction Expenses pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Estimated Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.6 (the “Final Purchase Price”), then promptly after such final determination (but, in any event, within three Business Days thereof) Buyer shall pay, or shall cause the payment of, such difference to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller within two Business Days thereof. In the event that the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then promptly after such final determination (but, in any event, within three Business Days thereof) Seller shall pay, or shall cause the payment of, such difference to Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer within two Business Days thereof.

(g) The Parties agree that the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and the estimates thereof delivered pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be prepared, and this Agreement shall otherwise be interpreted, so that no asset, liability or other item is double-counted against any Party hereunder and shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities resulting from purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the Transactions. The Parties further agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and determining the Net Working Capital is to measure variations in the components taken into consideration in determining the estimates delivered pursuant to Section 2.5 compared to the actual values, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such process is not intended to permit the introduction of accounting principles different from those described in the Accounting Principles.

(h) The Parties agree that the dispute resolution provisions provided for in this Section 2.6 shall be the exclusive remedies for determination of Acquired Companies Cash, Acquired Companies Indebtedness, Net Working Capital, Required Statutory Capital Amount Target and Unpaid Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Effective Time.

Section 2.7 Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable or deliverable in connection with the Transactions, to any Person such amounts that Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under the Code, any other Tax Law or any other applicable Law requiring the amount deducted or withheld to be deposited with a Governmental Authority; provided that: (a) Buyer shall provide Seller with notice (which shall include the authority, basis and method of calculation of the proposed deduction or withholding) as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any case prior to making the deduction or withholding) upon becoming aware of any such requirement to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to Seller, and (b) the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts in seeking to reduce or eliminate any such withholding or deduction. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, and duly and timely deposited with the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

No Party shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting, telephone call, or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any submissions, filings, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), or any other inquiry relating to such matters unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting, telephone call, or discussion. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, coordinate and cooperate fully with the other Party in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing, investigation, or any other inquiry under any applicable Antitrust Laws. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide each other with copies of all substantive correspondence, filings, or substantive communications between them or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions; provided, however, that materials may be redacted: (i) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Laws; and (ii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(e) The Parties, or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall give any notices to non-Governmental Authority third parties and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any non-Governmental Authority third-party Consents, approvals or waivers that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions or otherwise in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that the Parties shall coordinate and cooperate in determining whether any actions or Consents are required to be obtained from parties to any Contracts of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities in connection with consummation of the Transactions or otherwise in connection with the Transactions and seeking any such actions or Consents.

Prior to the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to replace “Seller” with “Buyer” (or an Affiliate of Buyer) as the guarantor entity with respect to each Parent Guarantee and to provide a full and irrevocable release of Seller with respect to any obligations or liabilities under such Parent Guarantee. For so long as any Parent Guarantee remains outstanding following the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to replace “Seller” with “Buyer” (or an Affiliate of Buyer) as the guarantor entity with respect to each Parent Guarantee and to provide a full and irrevocable release of Seller with respect to any obligations or liabilities under such Parent Guarantee. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses which the Seller Indemnified Parties may suffer as a result of the failure of any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity to perform any of its obligations under any Contract set forth on Schedule 1.1(f) for which Seller remains the guarantor.

Section 5.6 Restricted Names.

(a) Except as otherwise permitted in the Trademark License Agreement, within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) take all action necessary to change the name of each Acquired Company and Related Consolidated Entity that includes a Restricted Name to a name that is not confusingly similar to

any Restricted Name, (ii) take all actions and execute all documents as may be necessary to evidence any such name changes, (iii) cease and discontinue all uses of the Restricted Names, and (iv) eliminate the Restricted Names from, revise, paint over or otherwise permanently obscure the Restricted Names on any signage or other public-facing materials (including any publicly distributable documents and other digital or physical public-facing materials bearing such Restricted Names) owned or controlled by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities) after the Closing Date.

(b) Except as otherwise permitted in the Trademark License Agreement, within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) cease and discontinue all uses of the HCP Names, and (ii) eliminate the HCP Names from, revise, paint over or otherwise permanently obscure the HCP Names or any derivative or variation thereof, on any signage or other public-facing materials (including any publicly distributable documents and other digital or physical public-facing materials bearing such HCP Names) owned or controlled by Seller or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 5.6(c), within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, for a period of two years after the Closing Date and solely within the United States, (i) cease and discontinue all uses of “DaVita Medical Group”, and (ii) eliminate “DaVita Medical Group” from, revise, paint over or otherwise obscure “DaVita Medical Group”, on any signage or other public-facing materials (including any publicly distributable documents and other digital or physical public-facing materials bearing “DaVita Medical Group”) owned or controlled by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date; provided, that Seller shall not be obligated to remove “DaVita Medical Group” from any printed materials that have already been distributed to the public as of the Closing Date or revise any printed materials used as of the Closing Date until such materials are replaced in the Ordinary Course. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be in breach of this Section 5.6(c) if, after the Closing Date, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (a) uses “DaVita Medical Group” in a nominative manner in textual sentences referencing the historical relationship between Seller, on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities, on the other hand, which references are factually accurate, (b) retains copies of any books, records and other materials that, as of the Closing Date, contain or display “DaVita Medical Group” and such copies are used solely for internal or archival purposes (and not public display) or (c) uses “DaVita Medical Group” to comply with applicable Laws or for litigation, regulatory or corporate filings and documents filed by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with any Governmental Authority. Nothing in this Section 5.6(c) shall prohibit, restrict or limit Seller’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ right to use the name “DAVITA” provided that such name is not used when directly followed with the words “MEDICAL GROUP”.

Section 5.7 Notice of Certain Events. Each Party shall give reasonably prompt notice to the other Party of: (a) receipt by such Party of any material written notice from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, or (b) any Effect which could: (i) individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect or Buyer Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or (ii) result in any of the conditions in this Agreement set forth in Article VI not being satisfied; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not, unless agreed to in writing by the Party receiving such notice, affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, right, remedy, or condition to any obligation of any Party or update the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 5.8 Intercompany Arrangements.

(a) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take such action and make such payments as necessary so that, prior to or concurrently with the Closing and without any liability of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities following the Closing, the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities), on the other hand, shall settle, discharge, offset, pay, repay in full, capitalize, terminate, commute or extinguish all Intercompany Balances, including any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of payment, for the amount due; provided that such elimination of Intercompany Balances shall not be required to the extent: (i) there is insufficient cash maintained on the balance sheet of any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity to pay down any Intercompany Balance, (ii) any such Intercompany Balance is required for any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity to remain in compliance with applicable financial solvency ratios, including those established by the California Department of Managed Health Care, or (iii) any such Intercompany Balance is required to ensure that an Acquired Company or a Related Consolidated Entity maintains sufficient working capital and cash-on-hand to fund its ongoing business operations.

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take such action as necessary to terminate, prior to or concurrently with the Closing and without any liability of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities following the Closing, all Intercompany Contracts; provided, however, that this Section 5.8(b) shall not apply to: (i) any Seller-Level Contract, (ii) any Shared Contract, (iii) the Transaction Documents, or (iv) any Intercompany Contract set forth on Schedule 5.8(b)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth on Schedule 5.8(b)(ii) or otherwise in the Ordinary Course, the agreements between one or more Acquired Companies, on the one hand, and one or more Related Consolidated Entities, on the other hand, shall remain in full force and effect following the Closing, each in accordance with their respective terms.

(c) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take such action as necessary to release, prior to or concurrently with the Closing, any Encumbrance on the assets and properties of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities pursuant to any Indebtedness of Seller, Intercompany Contract or Intercompany Balance and shall execute and deliver to Buyer Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documents or endorsements necessary to release any such Encumbrance.

Section 5.9 Seller Release. Effective as of the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby releases, remises and discharges any and all rights, claims and Losses arising out of any actions, omissions or facts that occurred prior to the Closing Date that it or any of its Subsidiaries has had, now has or might now or hereafter have against the Acquired Companies, Related Consolidated Entities and JV Entities (a “Releasee”); provided that the foregoing release shall not apply to any rights, claims or Losses arising under or related

to the Transaction Documents or the Retained Litigation. Seller, for itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing any Action against any Releasee, based upon any matter expressly released hereby. The Parties agree that this Section 5.9 shall not apply to any Action, or rights or claims relating thereto, between Seller (and any Affiliate thereof), on the one hand, and Buyer (and any Affiliate thereof, other than the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities), on the other. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall indemnify Buyer with respect to the Retained Litigation in accordance with Section 5.13 and Article VII.

Section 5.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification; Run-off “Tail” Insurance.

(a) For a period of six years after the Closing Date (and such additional period of time as may be necessary to fully and finally resolve any claims for indemnification which have been duly submitted prior to the six-year anniversary of the Closing Date), unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent Governing Documents) of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses shall not be amended or altered in any way that would be detrimental to a D&O Indemnified Party (as defined below). Buyer and each of the Acquired Companies and the Related Consolidated Entities (following the Closing) shall indemnify, and advance expenses to, each present director or officer of each of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities that is a Transferred Employee (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), in and to the extent of their respective capacities as such and not as equity holders of any of the Acquired Companies and the Related Consolidated Entities, in respect of actions, omissions or events through the Closing to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if any D&O Indemnified Party becomes involved in any actual or threatened action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation covered by this Section 5.10(a) after the Closing, Buyer, the Acquired Companies and the Related Consolidated Entities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, promptly indemnify and advance to such D&O Indemnified Party his or her legal or other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation incurred in connection therewith). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 5.10(a) to the extent that any indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses hereunder is a result of any actions, omissions or events for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall secure (i) a six-year term Directors’ & Officers’ Liability run-off insurance policy or extended reporting period endorsement (“D&O Tail”) covering claims made for alleged wrongful acts occurring prior to the Closing Date, (ii) a six-year term Fiduciary Liability run-off insurance policy, or extended reporting endorsement (“Fiduciary Tail”) covering claims made for alleged wrongful acts occurring prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) a three-year term Employment Practices Liability run-off insurance policy or extended reporting period endorsement (“EPL Tail”) covering claims made for alleged wrongful acts occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(c) All tail policies must have an effective date on the Closing Date. The one-time premium cost for the D&O Tail, Fiduciary Tail, and EPL Tail policies shall be prepaid by Seller for the indicated policy term(s).

(d) All tail insurance policies shall be written by one or more insurance companies having an A.M. Best financial strength rating at least equal to that of the insurance company that was writing the insurance coverage as of the date of Closing.

(e) The obligations under this Section 5.10 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.10 applies without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.10 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.10 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

Section 5.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Seller Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Seller Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns shall, to the extent relating to the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities, be prepared in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities, as applicable, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law, and Seller shall timely remit or cause to be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns (the “Seller Taxes”); provided that Seller Taxes shall not include Taxes that are taken into account in the calculation of the Net Working Capital. Any Taxes that would have been Seller Taxes but for the proviso in the preceding sentence shall be paid by Buyer to Seller within five days of payment by Seller to the applicable Governmental Authority.

(b) Other Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes. Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities that are not described in Section 5.11(a); provided, that, in the case of any such Tax Return with respect to a Straddle Period or any Non-Income Tax Return with respect to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities, as applicable, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law; and provided, further, that not later than 30 days prior to the due date (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) for filing such Tax Return by Buyer (or as soon as reasonably practicable if such Tax Return is due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) within 30 days after the Closing Date), Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of relevant portions of the draft of such Tax Return for Seller’s approval. In the case of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller regarding any Tax Return furnished for approval under this Section 5.11(a) that cannot be resolved by the 15th day prior to the due date for such Tax Return, such disagreement shall be resolved by the Neutral Accountant and any such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne by the parties in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6(c). Buyer shall bear all Taxes of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities other than Indemnified Taxes, and Seller shall bear all Indemnified Taxes.

(i) Without the prior written consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates, the Acquired Companies or the Related Consolidated Entities to): (x) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return of or relating (in whole or in part) to the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (y) make any Tax election (A) with respect to any of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities that has retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or relates to any Seller Tax Return or (B) if such election would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse consequence to Seller under this Agreement or to any member of the Seller Group. Neither Buyer nor Seller (nor any of their Affiliates) shall file or cause to be filed any election under Section 338 or Section 336 of the Code (or any similar election under state, local or non-U.S. law) with respect to the Transactions.

(ii) Seller hereby agrees to make an election (which may be on a protective basis) under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) (and under any comparable provisions of state or local Law) to reduce Seller’s basis in the Acquired Interests in order to avoid any reduction in the Tax attributes of any of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36 (and pursuant to any comparable provisions of state or local Law). Seller shall provide a copy of any election described in this Section 5.11(c)(ii) (together with reasonable supporting documentation setting forth any relevant calculations) to Buyer at least 30 days prior to the due date for such election and shall reflect any reasonable comments delivered by Buyer on such election.

(d) Tax Refunds. Any Tax refunds or credits that are received by Buyer and its Affiliates (including for this purpose the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities) that relate to Indemnified Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes of any member of the Seller Group) shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over the amount of any such refund or credit to Seller within five Business Days after Buyer’s receipt thereof. Neither Buyer nor any of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities shall, unless otherwise required under applicable Tax Law, carry back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period any item of loss, deduction or credit or any net operating loss, net capital loss or other tax credit or benefit that is attributable to, arises from or relates to any taxable period (or portion thereof) commencing after the Closing Date.

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to): (A) promptly provide the other Party and its Affiliates with such information, records, documents or assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, signing and filing of any Tax Return or any audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority or any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes or in connection with other legitimate matters related to Taxes and (B) retain for a period of seven years after the Closing Date all records or information which may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding; provided that the foregoing shall be done in a

manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to transfer or make available to Buyer any Tax Returns or information with respect to Taxes of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates (except to the extent relating to the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities).

(f) Tax Contests.

(i) Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall notify the other Party within 20 Business Days after receipt by such Party or any of its Affiliates of written notice of any pending federal, state, local or foreign Tax audit or examination or notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination relating to Taxes for which such other Party or its Affiliates may be responsible under this Agreement (“Tax Matters”).

(ii) Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right to control, contest, resolve and defend against any Tax Matters relating in whole or in part to (A) Taxes of any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity for which Seller is responsible under this Agreement or (B) Taxes of any member of the Seller Group; provided that, in the case of a Tax Matter described in (A) and not in (B) of this sentence which Tax Matter could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ (including after the Closing, the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities) liability for Taxes (other than any such liability resulting from the reduction or elimination of a net operating loss, capital loss or tax credit of the Acquired Companies or the Related Consolidated Entities arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period), Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the progress of such Tax Matter and Seller shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, concede, settle or compromise a Tax Matter (or portion thereof) controlled by Seller under this Section 5.11(f)(ii) without the prior consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iii) Buyer shall have the right to control all Tax Matters of any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity not controlled by Seller pursuant to Section 5.11(f)(ii); provided that, in the case of a Tax Matter that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the progress of such Tax Matter and shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, concede, settle or compromise such Tax Matter (or portion thereof) controlled by Buyer under this Section 5.11(f)(iii) without the prior consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iv) In the event of any conflict between Article VII and this Section 5.11(f), this Section 5.11(f) shall control.

(g) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the liability for all Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer. Each of Buyer and Seller, as applicable, shall cooperate and, as required by applicable Law, join in the execution of all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes.

Section 5.12 Employment and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide to Buyer an updated list of all Business Employees, including each such employee’s unique employee identification number, title, employing entity, present annual base salary or wage rate and cash bonus opportunities. Seller shall provide Buyer with an updated list of all Business Employees once every 30 days between the date hereof and the Closing and shall further provide a final updated list of all Business Employees as of no earlier than 10 days before Closing.

(b) Buyer agrees that Business Employees who continue to remain employed with the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer following the Closing Date (the “Transferred Employees”) shall, for a period of not less than 24 months following the Closing Date, be provided with (i) the same or superior base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, provided to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any equity incentive compensation) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to such Transferred Employees than those provided to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(c) Buyer agrees that the Transferred Employees shall, until the end of the applicable plan year in which the Closing occurs, be provided with health, welfare and retirement benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to such Transferred Employees than those provided to such Transferred Employees as of immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each Transferred Employee with full credit for all service recognized by the Acquired Companies, the Related Consolidated Entities and Seller prior to the Closing for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accruals, under any applicable Buyer Plan (excluding any Buyer equity plan); provided that such service shall not be recognized for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, for purposes of qualifying for subsidies, early retirement benefits or to the extent such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Buyer shall use its best efforts to waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred Employees under any welfare benefit plans (except Buyer’s supplemental life insurance plan) that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Closing Date, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date under any welfare benefit plan maintained for the Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, cause any Code Section 401(k) plan maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which the Transferred Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing to accept rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) from under Seller’s 401(k) plans (the “401(k) Plans”), including the amount of any unpaid balance of any participant loan made under the 401(k) Plans.

(e) If requested by Buyer in writing delivered to the Seller not less than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is reasonably necessary to delegate plan administration authority for the applicable Company Plan (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Company Plans that will not be assumed by Buyer by operation of law as a result of the Closing) to UnitedHealth Group Incorporated’s Employee Benefits Plans Administrative Committee and investment authority for such Company Plan to UnitedHealth Group Incorporated’s Employee Benefits Plans Investment Committee, effective as of the Closing Date and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. In the event that Buyer requests that Seller delegate such authority with respect to such Company Plan, Seller shall provide Buyer with evidence of such delegation (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Buyer) not later than the day immediately preceding the Closing.

(f) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates with respect to any liability or obligation under COBRA or similar applicable Law arising from the actions (or inactions) of Buyer or any of its Affiliates with respect to Transferred Employees or their respective dependents after the Closing Date. Seller shall retain all liabilities or obligations, including with respect to any “qualifying event” (as defined under COBRA), under COBRA or similar applicable Law incurred by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or arising as a result of the Transactions, each with respect to the Business Employees or their respective dependents.

(g) The Parties hereby agree to honor the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 5.12(g).

(h) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12(h), with respect to any unused vacation time that has been accrued on the Financial Statements as of the Closing Date to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation time policy applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, to the extent consented to by the Transferred Employee or otherwise permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, assume the liability for such accrued but unused vacation time and allow such Transferred Employee to use such accrued but unused vacation time, provided that Buyer may, in its discretion, pay such Transferred Employee in respect of such accrued but unused vacation time in excess of any accrual cap under the applicable vacation policy of Buyer or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section 5.12(h), “vacation time” shall include vacation time, floating holidays, paid/flexible time off and similarly arrangements, and any such vacation time assumed by Buyer (or its Affiliates) shall not be subject to any accrual caps or other limitations imposed by the vacation, paid/flexible time off or similar policies of Buyer and or its Affiliates. In addition, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, credit each Transferred Employee with the amount of sick leave that has been accrued on the Financial Statements and to which such Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the sick leave policy applicable to the Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, towards his or her sick leave for purposes of the sick leave policy maintained by Buyer or one of its Affiliates, as applicable.

(i) Buyer shall be solely responsible for complying with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, and any and all obligations under other applicable Laws requiring notice of plant closings, relocations, mass layoffs, reductions in force or similar actions (and for any failures to so comply), in any case, applicable to the Business Employees as a result of any action by Buyer or its Affiliates on or after to the Closing Date. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates against any and all liabilities arising in connection with any failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.12(i).

(j) Prior to making any written or oral communications to any Business Employee pertaining to compensation or benefit matters related to the Transactions (“Employee Communications”), Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of the intended communication, Buyer shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication (not to exceed two Business Days), and Seller shall consider any such comments in good faith. Buyer shall use best efforts to review and comment on the communication as quickly as possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and its Affiliates may make Employee Communications without providing Buyer with a copy of such intended Employee Communications so long as such Employee Communications are materially consistent with Employee Communications previously approved in writing by Buyer.

(k) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer of employment of the Seller-Level Employees to an Acquired Company.

(l) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.12 with respect to Business Employees are included for the sole benefit of the Parties and shall not create any right in any other Person, including any employees or former employees of Seller, the Acquired Companies or the Related Consolidated Entities, any participant in any Company Plan or any beneficiary thereof or any right to continued employment with Seller, the Acquired Companies, the Related Consolidated Entities or Buyer (or any of their respective Affiliates), nor require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to continue or amend any Buyer Plan on or after the Closing Date for Transferred Employees, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

Section 5.13 Retained Litigation.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any costs or expenses (except internal administrative expenses, including employee salaries) of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities incurred to defend or settle the Retained Litigation, or satisfy any judgment against Buyer or its Affiliates in connection therewith; provided, that: (i) Seller shall, subject to Section 5.13(b), retain sole control over the defense or settlement of the Retained Litigation; (ii) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (A) agrees that it shall not take, and shall cause its Affiliates not to take, any action without Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to obtain indemnification for the Retained Litigation from another source, and (B) shall pay to Seller any proceeds Buyer or its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities, may receive as indemnification for any Retained Litigation from another source (provided that Seller has otherwise indemnified and held harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties as contemplated by this Section 5.13(a)) and (iii) Buyer and its Affiliates shall provide Seller with reasonable cooperation in the defense, investigation, or settlement of the Retained Litigation, including, using commercially reasonable efforts in providing data, testimony or documents at Seller’s reasonable request and expense (not including Buyer’s internal administrative expenses, including employee salaries). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything

contained herein to the contrary, all rights with respect to the Indemnification Assets and any corresponding direct claims against the former direct and indirect owners of the Business shall remain the rights of Seller and its Affiliates and shall not be affected in any manner by this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Parties hereby agree to enter into a joint defense agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Parties. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid Buyer’s production of confidential information without a protective order.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.13(a), no settlement of any Retained Litigation that includes a non-monetary component applicable to the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities shall be agreed to without Buyer’s prior written consent; provided that with respect to certain Retained Litigation matters, the provisions of Schedule 5.13(b) shall govern.

Section 5.14 No Solicitation of Competing Transactions.

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing or such earlier date on which this Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (a) initiate, solicit, or encourage any proposal or any inquiry that may reasonably be expected to lead to any proposal concerning the sale of any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity or any business thereof (whether by way of merger, purchase of equity interests, purchase of assets, or otherwise) or a sale of any material Assets of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities, taken as a whole, or any transaction the consummation of which would be inconsistent with or interfere with or prevent, or materially delay, in any way whatsoever, the consummation of the Transactions (each, a “Competing Transaction”); or (b) hold any discussions or enter into any Contracts or other arrangements with, or provide any information or respond to, any third party concerning a proposed Competing Transaction or cooperate in any way with, agree to, assist or participate in, solicit, consider, entertain, facilitate, or encourage any effort or attempt by any third party to do or seek any of the foregoing. If at any time from the date hereof until the Closing, or such earlier date on which this Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms, Seller, any Affiliate thereof or any of its and their respective Representatives is approached in any manner by a third party concerning a Competing Transaction, Seller shall promptly, and in any event within three Business Days of such contact, inform such third party of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.14.

(b) To the extent Seller and its Affiliates have not previously done so, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly after the public announcement of the entry into this Agreement, request that each Person (other than Buyer and its Representatives) that has in the six months prior to the date hereof executed a confidentiality agreement with Seller or its Affiliates in connection with its consideration of a Competing Transaction (the “Business NDAs”) to promptly return or destroy any confidential information to the extent related to the Business, the Acquired Companies or the Related Consolidated Entities furnished to such Person in connection with its consideration of a Competing Transaction in accordance with the terms of the applicable Business NDA. To the extent Seller and its Affiliates have not previously done so, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly after the date hereof, revoke the access of any Person other than Seller, Buyer and their respective Affiliates and Representatives to any data room established in connection with a Competing Transaction to

the extent the information contained therein relates to the Business, the Acquired Companies or the Related Consolidated Entities. Seller agrees not to release, and to cause its Affiliates not to release, any third party from the confidentiality provisions of any Business NDA and to enforce, at Buyer’s expense, the confidentiality provisions of the Business NDAs (to the extent related to the Business, the Acquired Companies or the Related Consolidated Entities) to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer in writing.

Section 5.16 Miscellaneous.

(a) Commercial Property Insurance Proceeds. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall notify the relevant commercial property insurance carriers in the Ordinary Course of any material claims arising under any of the commercial property Insurance Policies and reinvest all net proceeds realized or recovered from any of the Insurance Policies, received subsequent to the date hereof, to rebuild, repair or replace any assets of the Acquired Companies, Related Consolidated Entities or JV Entities covered by such Insurance Policies (or to pay related fees and expenses) in the Ordinary Course in a reasonably timely manner. At and following the Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, assign, to the extent assignable, to Buyer any such proceeds of Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ insurance policies to the extent related to the Business or the Acquired Companies, Related Consolidated Entities or JV Entities and not so reinvested. If such proceeds are not assignable, Seller agrees to pay any such proceeds received by it or any of its Affiliates to Buyer reasonably promptly following the receipt thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any proceeds received by Buyer

or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.16(a) shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Purchase Price and any adjustment thereto and (ii) Seller shall have no obligation to deliver to Buyer the amount of any proceeds pursuant to this Section 5.16(a) to the extent reinvested in accordance herewith.

(b) Bank Accounts. At Buyer’s election (in its sole discretion), in writing and at least 15 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, effective as of the Closing, add specified employees of Buyer as signatories to the bank accounts of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities and update the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities’ bank account mandates and electronic banking system to include specified signatories of Buyer (and to remove specified employees or signatories of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities in Buyer’s sole discretion), and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller’s efforts to make such additions and updates.

(c) Resignations. At Buyer’s election (in its sole discretion), in writing and delivered to Seller at least 15 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any directors or managers of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities specified in writing by Buyer to Seller, to deliver letters of resignation to Buyer or its Affiliates resigning from his or her position as director or manager with the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities, as applicable, prior to the Closing Date, effective as of the Closing Date.

(d) Xxxxxx/Swaps. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any obligations arising under any instruments described in clause (f) of the definition of Indebtedness (Xxxxxx/Swaps) as of the Closing, such that there are no obligations or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) remaining on behalf of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities under such instruments following the Closing.

(e) Wrong Pockets. To the extent that, during the one year following the Closing Date, Buyer or Seller discovers that any Assets exclusively used in the Business were not transferred directly or indirectly to Buyer at the Closing (each, an “Omitted Asset”), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly assign and transfer all right, title and interest in such Omitted Asset to Buyer or its designated assignee. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, for Tax purposes, any Omitted Asset shall be considered to have been transferred as of the Closing; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, “Omitted Assets” shall not include any Assets transferred outside of the Business in accordance with Section 5.1(b).

(f) Transition Services Agreement; Trademark License Agreement. Buyer and Seller each agree to discuss in good faith following the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date the terms and conditions of agreements pursuant to which Seller would provide (i) to the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities, on an interim transition basis commencing after the Closing, certain transitional services (such agreement, the “Transition Services Agreement”), and (ii) Buyer with a non-exclusive license to use the Restricted Names in a limited manner after the Closing (such agreement, the “Trademark License Agreement”), in each of case, upon the terms to be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.

(g) Cooperation on References. Without limiting anything else in this Agreement, for a period of one year following the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make the Transferred Employees reasonably available during normal business hours and without unreasonable interference with the normal operations of Buyer and its Affiliates, to provide general non-confidential and non-privileged background information regarding the historical relationship between Seller, on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities, on the other hand; provided that neither Buyer, its Affiliates, any Transferred Employee or any other Representative of Buyer or its Affiliates, shall be liable to Seller, its Affiliates or any third party as a result of its services or information provided pursuant to this Section 5.16(g) and Seller acknowledges and agrees that the services and information provided pursuant to this Section 5.16(g) are provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, that the receiving party assumes all risks and liability arising from or relating to its and its affiliates’ use of and reliance upon such services or information.

(h) Tax Benefit. Promptly following the occurrence of a Payment Trigger Date, Seller (if the Relevant Tax Return is a Tax Return of Seller or its Affiliates) or Buyer (if the Relevant Tax Return is a Tax Return of the Buyer or its Affiliates), as applicable, shall provide written notice of such occurrence to the other Party. On the Payment Date, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller or its designated Affiliate an amount equal to the Adjusted Tax Benefit Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Basis Increase” used to calculate the Adjusted Tax Benefit Payment shall take into account any adjustment made by the IRS to such Basis Increase as a result of an IRS audit of the Relevant Tax Return, and the Adjusted Tax Benefit Payment shall be reduced accordingly to the extent the Basis Increase originally claimed has been reduced; and, for the avoidance of doubt, if the entire amount of the Basis Increase is disallowed as a result of an IRS audit of the Relevant Tax Return, no payment is required to be made from Buyer to Seller under this Section 5.16(h). Recognizing the complexity of this provision, an illustrative example of the calculation of the Adjusted Tax Benefit Payment is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

(i) Certain Actions. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall take the actions set forth on Schedule 5.16(i).

(i) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made in Article IV (or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(iii) by or on behalf of Buyer at or prior to the Closing with respect thereto) that is not a Buyer Fundamental Representation;

(ii) the breach or inaccuracy of any Buyer Fundamental Representation (or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(iii) by or on behalf of Buyer at or prior to the Closing with respect thereto); and

Section 7.4 Indemnification Principles.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Seller nor Buyer shall be liable to, or indemnify, the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, for any Losses: (i) that are punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or indirect damages, other than (x) any such damages claimed by a Party against another Party to this Agreement to the extent they were: (A) a natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable result of a breach by the breaching Party, (B) within the reasonable contemplation of the Parties, and (C) can be proven with reasonable certainty, and (y) to the extent actually paid to a non-Affiliated third party pursuant to a final and non-appealable judgment or arbitral decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) with respect to any amount that was taken into account in the final determination of Acquired Companies Cash, Net Working Capital, Unpaid Transaction Expenses or Acquired Companies Indebtedness pursuant to Section 2.6.

(b) For purposes of this Article VII, (i) for determining the breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty set forth in Article III other than the Seller Fundamental Representations, Section 3.7 (Financial Information), Section 3.8 (Accounting Records; Internal Controls), Section 3.13(d) (Healthcare Regulatory Compliance), Section 3.17(b) (Sufficiency of Assets) and Section 3.21 (Material Contracts) (collectively, the “Specified Representations”), references to “materiality”, “Seller Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality qualifications therein shall be disregarded, and (ii) for calculating the amount of Losses incurred out of or relating to any breach of, a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, references to “materiality”, “Seller Material Adverse Effect”, “Buyer Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality qualifications therein shall be disregarded; provided, however, that in no event shall dollar thresholds referred to in this Agreement be disregarded pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii); and provided, further, with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), in no event shall “Material Contract” be read to mean “Contract”.

(c) The Indemnified Parties shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate any Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses.

(d) No claim for indemnification shall be made with respect to Losses to the extent there has been a corresponding reduction or reserve related thereto in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price.

(e) The amount of any and all indemnification payments in respect of Losses under this Agreement shall be determined net of the proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party under any insurance policies or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement), in each case, net of costs or expenses incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds.

(f) In calculating the amount of any Loss, the amount of such Loss shall be determined net of any Tax benefit actually realized in the taxable year of the Loss by the Indemnified Party (less reasonable expenses incurred to obtain such benefit) or in the next two succeeding years as a result of the incurrence or payment of any such Loss (including as a result of the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to such Loss); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.4(f) shall not provide any Indemnifying Party the right to review any Indemnified Party’s Tax Returns.

(g) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that such Indemnified Party had already recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement.

(h) Seller (including any Representative of Seller) shall not have, and hereby waives, any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities (including any Representative thereof) with respect to any Loss claimed by a Buyer Indemnified Party, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any Intercompany Contracts that survive the Closing pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 7.5 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the applicable Indemnified Party within 10 Business Days after the determination thereof.

Section 7.6 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Any Indemnified Party making a claim for indemnification under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the claim in writing promptly, but in no event more than 30 days, after receiving notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation, demand or other claim against the Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the claim, the amount or estimated amount of damages sought thereunder (if known and quantifiable, which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third-Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto, the basis thereof and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such failure has a prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the power to direct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim giving rise to an Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, with reputable counsel in connection with such defense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party and shall not be recoverable from such Indemnifying Party under this Section 7.6. The Indemnified Party’s participation in any such defense shall be at its sole cost and expense unless: (i) the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts between them or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third-Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of this

Section 7.6(b) in which case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one additional counsel (in addition to, but only to the extent necessary, one local counsel) which shall represent all Indemnified Parties arising out of the same or similar set of circumstances in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle such claims; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before settling, compromising, offering to settle or compromise, or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise or cessation, (A) a Governmental Order would be imposed that would materially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (B) a violation of Law by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates would be found or admitted, (C) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that would not be paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party, or (D) any material non-monetary condition or obligation would be imposed on any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party: (i) elects not to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third-Party Claim, fails to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim within five days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume its own defense and defend against such matter as it deems appropriate; provided that the Indemnified Party may not settle any such matter without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the Indemnified Party is seeking or will seek indemnification hereunder with respect to such matter.

(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in connection with the defense of a Third-Party Claim, including by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant business records, other documents and Representatives. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other fully informed with respect to the status of such Third-Party Claim.

(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

Section 7.7 Limitation on Recourse. No claim shall be brought or maintained by a Party or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, employee (present or former) or Affiliate of any Party which is not otherwise expressly identified as a Party, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any Party as set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

Section 7.8 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid pursuant to the Transactions for Tax purposes. Except to the extent required by applicable Law, the Parties agree to, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file their Tax Returns accordingly.

Section 7.9 Effect of Waiver of Condition. A Party’s right to indemnity pursuant to this Article VII shall not be adversely affected by its waiver of a condition set forth in Article VI, unless such Party states in writing in connection with such waiver that it is foreclosing its right to indemnity with respect to the matter that is the subject of the waiver; provided, however, that in the event the non-waiving Party (i) advises the waiving Party in writing with reasonable specificity that there has been a breach of this Agreement by the non-waiving Party such that a condition set forth in Article VI could not be satisfied at the Closing, and (ii) the waiving Party agrees in writing to waive the satisfaction of such condition and consummate the Closing, then, from and after the Closing, the waiving Party’s right to indemnity with respect to the matter that is the subject of the waiver shall be foreclosed to the extent it was disclosed in the written notice provided by the non-waiving Party.

Section 7.10 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, from and after the Closing, the contractual right to indemnification under this Article VII, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations hereof, shall constitute the sole and exclusive right and remedy available to the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties for any and all Losses or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement and the Transactions; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) the Parties shall be entitled to enforce the right to specific performance as set forth in Section 9.10, and (b) the parties to the Transaction Documents shall be entitled to enforce the terms of each of the Transaction Documents (as applicable). In furtherance of the foregoing, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII, each of Buyer and Seller hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (including for rescission) that such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the other Party and its Affiliates arising under or based upon this Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith or the Transactions; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to the Transaction Documents shall be entitled to enforce the terms of each of the Transaction Documents (as applicable). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Article VII shall not apply to the transactions contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement or the Trademark License Agreement, which, in each case, shall be governed by the terms and conditions thereof in all respects.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by June 5, 2018 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(a) shall not be available to any Party whose breach or failure

to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; provided, however, that if the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(a), Section 6.1(b) or, with respect to matters addressed in such Section, Section 6.1(c), have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to such date, but all other conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), then the Termination Date may be extended by either Party by delivery of written notice to the other Party to a date not beyond September 5, 2018; provided, further, that if the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(a), Section 6.1(b) or, with respect to matters addressed in such Section, Section 6.1(c) have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to such extended date, but all other conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), then the Termination Date may be further extended by either Party by delivery of written notice to the other Party to a date not beyond December 5, 2018;

(b) by either Seller or Buyer in the event that any Governmental Order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions shall have become final and nonappealable;

(c) by Seller if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Transactions) shall have occurred that would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within 30 days (but no later than the Termination Date) of receipt of written notice by Seller to Buyer of such breach; provided that Seller is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 not to be satisfied;

(d) by Buyer if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Transactions) shall have occurred that would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within 30 days (but no later than the Termination Date) of receipt of written notice by Buyer to Seller of such breach; provided that Buyer is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 not to be satisfied; or

(e) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void ab initio and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party, its Affiliates or its and their respective Representatives, except that (a) this Section 8.2 and Article IX shall survive any such termination; (b) the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; and (c) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for any intentional breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

Section 9.3 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer. Thereafter, until the Closing Date (unless this Agreement is validly terminated prior to the Closing Date), neither Seller or any of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities, on the one hand, nor Buyer or Buyer Parent, on the other hand, shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the Transactions or otherwise communicate with any news media regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such press release or public announcement is otherwise required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, in which case Buyer and Seller shall, to the extent practicable and lawful, consult with each other and cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement, or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller or any of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities (prior to Closing), on the one hand, and Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities (following the Closing), on the other hand, may make, or cause to be made, public statements in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the Transactions or otherwise communicate with any news media regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party so long as such statements or communications are generally consistent with press releases, public announcements, or other communications previously approved in writing by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, no provision in this Agreement shall restrict Seller or any of its Affiliates from making any internal statements, or issuing any internal notices or announcements to any employees of Seller or its Affiliates (other than to any Business Employees who are not Seller-Level Employees) regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the Transactions.

Section 9.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced under any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect; provided that the economic and legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated by this Agreement to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Disclosure Schedule, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.6 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of Seller and Buyer (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Seller or Buyer), as the case may be, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided that Buyer may assign its right to receive the Acquired Interests at the Closing to one or more of its wholly owned Subsidiaries (but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder); provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing shall restrict Seller from the sale, transfer, exchange, assignment or other disposition by any means of a majority of its equity securities, or all or substantially all of its assets.

Section 9.7 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except: (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, Seller and Buyer or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 9.8.

Section 9.8 Waiver. Any Party may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other Party contained herein or in any document delivered by any other Party pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of any other Party or conditions to such obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

Section 9.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the D&O Indemnified Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of Section 5.10 (Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification).

Section 9.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, in

addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.10 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction. While a Party may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with this Section 9.10 and concurrently pursue the payment of any Losses under Section 8.2, under no circumstances shall a Party be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing (and the payment of any fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by or on behalf of such Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Party’s pursuit of such grant of specific performance) and (ii) Losses under Section 8.2.

Section 9.11 Governing Law and Venue.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles or rules to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the exclusive venue for any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement shall be the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware and such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate such disputes. Each Party hereby expressly consents to the exercise of jurisdiction by such courts and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to such laying of venue (including the defense of inconvenient forum).

Section 9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY: (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

Section 9.13 Arbitration. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that if the Transactions are consummated, from and after the Closing Date, any and all claims, grievances, demands, controversies, causes of action or disputes of any nature whatsoever (including tort and contract claims, and claims upon any law, statute, order, or regulation) (hereinafter “EPA Disputes”), arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to: (i) this Agreement or the Transactions, or (ii) questions of arbitrability under this Agreement, shall be resolved by final, binding, nonjudicial arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq. pursuant to the following procedures:

(a) Any Party may send the other Party written notice identifying the matter in dispute and invoking the procedures of this Section 9.13 (the “EPA Dispute Notice”). Within 30 days from delivery of the EPA Dispute Notice, each Party involved in the dispute shall meet at a mutually agreed location in Denver, Colorado, for the purpose of determining whether they can resolve the dispute themselves by written agreement.

(b) If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute by written agreement within the later of 14 days from any such initial meeting or within 30 days from the delivery of the EPA Dispute Notice, any such party may make written application to the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), in New York, New York to resolve the dispute by arbitration. For disputes valued at less than $5,000,000, the arbitration shall be conducted by one neutral arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) selected in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “Rules”); provided that such Arbitrator shall not be a current or former employee or director, or a current stockholder, of either Party or any of their respective Affiliates. For disputes valued at or more than $5,000,000, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three neutral Arbitrators selected in accordance with the Rules; provided that any such Arbitrator shall not be a current or former employee or director, or a current stockholder, of either Party or any of their respective Affiliates. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Parties agree that any arbitration shall be governed by the Rules.

(c) Within 45 days of the selection of the Arbitrator(s), the parties involved in the dispute shall meet in New York, New York with such Arbitrator(s) at a place and time designated by such Arbitrator(s) after consultation with such parties and present their respective positions on the dispute. Each Party shall have no longer than one day to present its position, the entire proceedings before the Arbitrator shall be no more than three consecutive days, and the decision of the Arbitrator(s) shall be made in writing no more than 30 days following the end of the proceeding. Such an award shall be a final and binding determination of the EPA Dispute and shall be fully enforceable as an arbitration decision in any court having jurisdiction and venue over the Parties. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Arbitrator(s); provided, however, that the Arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, or the fees and costs of the Arbitrator(s).

Section 9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “.pdf” form) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.15 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representations; Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privileges.

(a) Buyer hereby waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause any other applicable Affiliates of Buyer (including the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities following the Closing) to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, employees or directors (any such person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or the Transactions, by any legal counsel (“Prior Company Counsel”) currently representing any Designated Person in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions (the “Current Representation”). Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities following the Closing) agrees that, following the Closing, Prior Company Counsel may serve as counsel to any Designated Person in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the Transactions, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions notwithstanding any representation by Prior Company Counsel prior to the Closing, and Buyer (on behalf of itself and the Acquired Companies following Closing) hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity, on the one hand, and any Designated Person, on the other hand, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer or any Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity and even though Prior Company Counsel may have represented an Acquired Company or Related Consolidated Entity or any of its respective Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

(b) Attorney-Client Privilege. Buyer waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause the Acquired Companies, the Related Consolidated Entities and their respective Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between any Prior Company Counsel and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of Buyer, the Acquired Companies, the Related Consolidated Entities and their respective Affiliates, it being the intention of the Parties that all rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege shall be retained by Seller. Furthermore, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with any of the Designated Persons with respect to the Current Representation shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by Seller. The portion of the books and records of the Acquired Companies and Related Consolidated Entities containing any such privileged communications shall be excluded from the purchase, and shall be distributed to Seller (on behalf of the applicable Designated Persons) immediately prior to the Closing with no copies retained by the Acquired Companies, the Related Consolidated Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Buyer hereby acknowledges that it has had the opportunity (including on behalf of its Affiliates) to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Prior Company Counsel. This Section 9.15 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 9.15 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Seller and its Affiliates and Prior Company Counsel affected thereby.

Section 9.16 No Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of Seller at or prior to the Closing, Buyer acknowledges that none of Seller or any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to Seller, the Acquired Companies, the Related Consolidated Entities, the Acquired Interests, the other equity interests of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities or the Business or any of the assets or liabilities of the Acquired Companies or Related Consolidated Entities and their respective Affiliates, or with respect to any other information provided to Buyer, whether on behalf of Seller or any other Person, including as to the probable success or profitability of the Business after the Closing, and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller expressly disclaims any such representations or warranties. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article IV, Section 9.18 or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of Buyer at or prior to the Closing, Seller acknowledges that none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to Buyer, its Affiliates, their respective businesses or any of the assets or liabilities of Buyer and its Affiliates, or with respect to any other information provided to Seller, whether on behalf of Buyer or any other Person, and Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer expressly disclaims any such representations or warranties. Other than in the case of fraud or as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, neither Seller, Buyer nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or any other Person, resulting from the distribution to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or Buyer’s or Seller’s use of, as the case may be, any information not set forth in or incorporated by reference into this Agreement or any Schedule or Exhibit hereto, including any information, document or material made available in certain “data rooms” (including the Data Room), management presentations or in any other form in expectation or contemplation of the Transactions.

Section 9.17 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any Party to any other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

Section 9.18 Guarantee; Representations and Warranties of Buyer Parent.

(a) As material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, Buyer Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Seller the full and timely payment, performance and satisfaction of each covenant, agreement, obligation and liability of Buyer arising under this Agreement (the “Buyer’s Obligations”). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer Parent hereby expressly waives any and all rights and defenses arising by reason of any Law that would otherwise require any election of remedies by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer Parent expressly waives: (i) notice of the acceptance by Seller of this

guarantee; (ii) notice of the non-performance of all or any of the Buyer’s Obligations; (iii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all other notices whatsoever, in respect of any or all of the Buyer’s Obligations; (iv) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies, including the failure or delay in exercising remedies against Buyer, by Seller which in any manner affects any of its rights to proceed against Buyer Parent; (v) any defense arising by reason of any modification, termination or release of any of the Buyer’s Obligations pursuant to applicable Law; and (vi) any defense arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of Buyer. Buyer Parent agrees that its liability hereunder shall be primary and direct, not merely of collection and not merely that of a surety, and that Seller shall not be required to pursue any right or remedy it may have against Buyer under this Agreement or otherwise or to first commence any proceeding or obtain any judgment against Buyer in order to enforce this Section 9.18(a). In the event that any payment to Seller in respect of the Buyer’s Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Buyer Parent shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Buyer’s Obligations as if such payment had not been made. This Section 9.18(a) represents a continuing guarantee and shall be binding upon Buyer Parent until the Buyer’s Obligations have been satisfied or paid in full.

(b) Buyer Parent hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Closing as follows:

(i) The execution and delivery by Buyer Parent of this Agreement and the performance by Buyer Parent of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Buyer Parent, and no other proceedings on the part of Buyer Parent are necessary to authorize this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer Parent, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller) this Agreement constitutes legal, valid, and binding obligations of Buyer Parent, enforceable against Buyer Parent in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable Remedies Exception.

(ii) The execution, delivery, and performance by Buyer Parent of this Agreement does not and will not require any material notices, reports or other filings by Buyer Parent with, nor any material Consents by any Governmental Authority, except for: (A) the notification and waiting period requirements under the HSR Act, (B) any Consents as are necessary as a result of any facts or circumstances relating solely to Seller or any of its Affiliates, or (C) any notice, report or other filing by Buyer Parent with, or any Consent by, any Governmental Authority where the failure to make such notice, report or other filing by Buyer with, or obtain such Consent of, such Governmental Authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to impair or delay Buyer Parent’s performance of its obligations hereunder in any material respect.

(c) Buyer Parent shall not assign its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any other Person without the prior written consent of Seller. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing shall restrict Buyer Parent from the sale, transfer, exchange, assignment or other disposition by any means of a majority of its equity securities, or all or substantially all of its assets.
