3.Representations and Warranties of Seller. Except as otherwise set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by Seller to Buyer on the date hereof (the “Disclosure Letter”), corresponding to the relevant Sections below, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

(a)Organization of Seller. Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Florida. Seller has full power and authority to carry on the business in which it is engaged, and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

(b)Authorization of Transaction. Seller has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by Seller and the consummation of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Seller are necessary to authorize this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or to consummate any of the Transactions. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by Buyer hereto and thereto, constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of Seller, as applicable, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms and conditions, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(c)Non-contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor any of the other Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party, nor the consummation of the Transactions, will (i) result in a violation by Seller of any Law or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Seller is subject or any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or any other governance document) of Seller or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which Seller is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the Acquired Assets is subject (or result in the imposition of any Encumbrance upon any of the Acquired Assets), or (iii) require Seller to obtain or make any waiver, consent, action, approval or authorization of, or registration, declaration, notice or filing with, any Governmental Authority or private non-governmental third-party.

(d)Title to Assets; Sufficiency of Assets. Schedule A contains an accurate and complete listing of all of the Acquired Assets.

The Acquired Assets include Seller’s assets necessary for Buyer to operate the Business in substantially the same manner immediately following the Closing as Seller has been operating the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business. Other than certain infrastructure and office equipment described in Schedule B, Seller does not use assets owned by another Person in the operation of the Business. For purposes of clarity, this Section 3(d) is not a representation or warranty with respect to non-infringement of the Acquired Intellectual Property, which is addressed exclusively in Section 3(g).

(e)No Adverse Change. Except as set forth on Section 3(e) of the Disclosure Letter, since December 31, 2015, there has not been any Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller.

Seller has in effect all approvals, clearances, authorizations, certificates, filings, franchises, licenses, notices, permits, clearances, exemptions and registrations of, with or from all Governmental Authorities that are required for Seller’s operation of the Business (collectively, “Permits”). Section 3(f) of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete listing of all Permits required for the conduct of Seller’s Business as currently conducted. No violation, loss or expiration of any of such Permits is pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened other than expiration in accordance with the terms thereof. No notice, citation, summons or order has been issued to Seller, no complaint has been filed with Seller, no penalty has been assessed against Seller and no investigation or review is pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, by any Governmental Authority, in each case with respect to any alleged failure by Seller to have any such Permit.

To Seller’s Knowledge, no Person is infringing upon, misappropriating or violating any Acquired Intellectual Property.

(iii)Section 3(g)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter identifies each Patent, Copyright registration, and Trademark registration that has been issued to Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller included in the Acquired Intellectual Property and identifies each pending application for a Patent, Copyright registration and Trademark registration that Seller or Subsidiary has made with respect to any of the Acquired Intellectual Property. Section 3(g)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter also includes any actions that must be taken within 90 days of the Closing Date to maintain the registrations and applications identified in Section 3(g)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter. With respect to each item of Intellectual Property required to be identified in Section 3(g)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter:

(B) the item is not subject to any binding outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, or other ruling of any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction;

(C) to Seller’s Knowledge, the item if a Patent, registered Trademark or registered Copyright remains valid, enforceable, and subsisting; and

To Seller’s Knowledge, no such employee, independent contractor or consultant has breached any of the provisions of any such agreement.

(vi)The docket report set forth in Section 3(g)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter is accurate.

(h)Environmental, Health, and Safety Matters. Seller and its predecessors and Affiliates have complied in all material respects with all applicable environmental, health, and safety Laws the failure of which to comply with would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller or which would be reasonably expected to create any Encumbrance on the Acquired Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and its predecessors and Affiliates have obtained and complied with all permits, certificates, licenses, filings, approvals and other authorizations of any Governmental Authority that are required pursuant to any applicable environmental, health, and safety Laws for Seller’s independent manufacture, packaging, validation, production and sale of the Device.

(i)Contracts.

(i)Section 3(i) of the Disclosure Letter lists the contracts and other agreements related to the Acquired Assets to which Seller is a party and which are being assigned to Buyer as part of the Transactions, other than purchase orders entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business (the “Acquired Contracts”).

Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree, ruling or decision of any court, commission, board or other Governmental Authority related to the Acquired Assets. There are no actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, against Seller or any Affiliate of Seller related to the Acquired Assets that would reasonably be expected to result, either in any individual case or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect or affect the rights of Buyer in the Acquired Assets or the ability of Buyer to manufacture, distribute, sell or otherwise dispose of the Device. The foregoing sentences include, without limiting their generality, actions pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against Seller involving the employment (prior or present) of any of Seller’s officers’ or employees’ use of any information or techniques related to the Acquired Assets allegedly proprietary to such officer or employee.

(k)Product Warranty.

(i)All units of the Device have been manufactured, sold and delivered in conformity with all applicable Laws of all Governmental Authorities applicable to the Business or with respect to jurisdictions in which the Device is manufactured, marketed or sold. Except as set forth in Section 3(k) of the Disclosure Letter, Seller has no knowledge of any product failure, recall, or injury-causing event relating to the Device, whether related to Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(ii)Seller has furnished or made available to Buyer complete and correct copies of the terms and conditions of sale for the Device (containing applicable guaranty, warranty and indemnity provisions).

(l)Product Liability. Except as described in Section 3(l) of the Disclosure Letter, to Seller’s Knowledge, Seller does not have any Liability arising out of any injury to individuals as a result of such individuals’ use of any Device as manufactured, sold or delivered, in each case, by Seller prior to the date hereof.

(m)Customers and Suppliers. Section 3(m) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth (a) the name and net sales of each of the twenty (20) most significant customers (by revenue) (“Material Customers”) and (b) the name of the twelve (12) largest suppliers (by purchases) (“Material Suppliers”) of the Seller and/or its Affiliates with respect to the Device as of twelve (12)-month period ending December 31, 2015.

To the Seller’s Knowledge, no Material Supplier is considering or intends, anticipates or otherwise expects to stop, materially decrease the volume of, or change, adjust, alter or otherwise modify in any material manner any of the terms (whether related to payment, price or otherwise) with respect to supplying materials, products or services to the Seller (whether as a result of the consummation of the Transactions).

(n)[Intentionally omitted]

(o)Financial Statements. Seller has delivered to Buyer: unaudited financial information related to the Business for the period ending November 30, 2015 (the “Financial Information”). The Financial Information fairly presents the financial condition of the Business as of the date thereof and for the periods referred to in such Financial Information.

(p)Taxes. To the extent that failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller, Seller has filed or caused to be filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns that are or were required to be filed by or with respect to Seller, pursuant to the Laws of each Governmental Authority with taxing power over it or its assets, except such Taxes, if any, as are set forth in the Financial Statements and are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with GAAP) have been provided in the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial Statements. There has been no audit, the resolution of which has had or will have, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller, by the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities of the United States federal or state income, or state franchise or sales, Tax Returns of Seller. Seller has not given or been requested to give waivers or extensions (or is or would be subject to a waiver or extension given by any other entity) of any statute of limitations relating to the payment of Taxes of Seller or for which Seller may be liable, to the extent that the failure to pay such Taxes would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller. The charges, accruals and reserves with respect to Taxes, including deferred Taxes, on the respective books of Seller are adequate (determined in accordance with GAAP) and are at least equal to Seller’s Liability for Taxes, to the extent that the failure to pay such Taxes would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller. There exists no material proposed tax assessment against Seller except as disclosed in the Financial Statements. To the extent that failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller, all Taxes that Seller is or was required by law to withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper Governmental Authority or other Person. All Tax Returns filed by or on behalf of Seller are true, correct and complete, to the extent that failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller. Seller has no, and will not have any, Liability for Taxes of any nature relating to periods prior to the Closing Date, to the extent that failure to pay such Taxes would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller, except as will be reflected in the Financial Statements, and all such Liability for Taxes reflected in the Financial Statements shall remain the sole obligation of Seller, except as set forth in Section 7(e) or 10(p) of this Agreement.

(q)Bankruptcy. Neither Seller nor any member of Seller have made any assignment for the benefit of creditors, filed any petition in bankruptcy, been adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, petitioned or applied to any tribunal for any receiver, conservator or trustee of any of them or any of their property or assets, or commenced any action or proceeding under any reorganization arrangement, readjustment of debt, conservation, dissolution or liquidation law or statute or any jurisdiction; and no such action or proceeding has been commenced or threatened against Seller by any creditor, claimant, Governmental Authority or any other Person.

(b)Authorization of Transaction.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by Seller and any other parties hereto and thereto, constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their terms and conditions, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(c)Non-contravention. Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party, nor the consummation of the Transactions, will (i) violate any Law or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Buyer is subject or any provision of its charter or bylaws (or any other governance document) or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which Buyer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject.

(d)Brokers’ Fees. Buyer has no Liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder, agent or investment banker with respect to the Transactions.

7.Post-Closing Covenants. The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period following the Closing, effective upon the Closing:

(a)General. In case within three (3) years after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of the Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the other Party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.

(b)Reimbursement Obligation. Buyer will reimburse Seller for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Seller to complete the patent prosecution and maintenance requests described in Schedule 7(b).

(c)Non-Competition.

(i)Seller agrees and acknowledges that it is familiar with the trade secrets and other information of a confidential or proprietary nature related to the Acquired Assets. Seller also agrees and acknowledges that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if Seller or any of its subsidiaries were to provide services or operations in competition with the Device or the Business of Buyer with respect to the sale, distribution or manufacture of a product which is competitive with the Device and that any such competition would result in a significant loss of goodwill by Buyer. Seller further agrees and acknowledges that (A) the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 7(c) were a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that Buyer would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto if Seller breached any of the provisions of this Section 7(c), and (B) in order to assure Buyer that the Device will retain its value, it is necessary that Seller and its subsidiaries undertake not to utilize their special knowledge of the sale, distribution or manufacture of the Device, or their relationship with clients or customers to compete with Buyer with respect to the Device, in each case during the Restricted Period.

(ii)Therefore, in further consideration of the amounts to be paid hereunder in exchange for the Acquired Assets, Seller agrees that from and after the date of this Agreement and continuing for five (5) years from such date (the “Restricted Period”), it will not, and will cause each of its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, either for itself or through any other Person, compete anywhere within the entire world in any business directly competitive with the Device.

-16-

(iii)Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 7(c)(ii), Seller hereby agrees that during the Restricted Period, Seller will not, directly or indirectly, without Buyer’s prior written consent, (A) solicit or otherwise deal with any clients, purchasers or suppliers of Buyer, in each case, in any manner designed to take business away from Buyer with respect to the Device.

(iv)Seller acknowledges and agrees that during the Restricted Period the territorial, time and scope limitations set forth in this Section 7(c) are reasonable and are properly required to protect Buyer’s substantial investment hereunder and for the protection of Buyer’s legitimate interest in client relationships, goodwill and trade secrets related to the Device, and that such limitations would not impose any undue burden upon Seller. In the event that any such territorial, time or scope limitation is deemed to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, Seller agrees, and Seller submits, to the reduction of any or all of said territorial, time or scope limitations to such an area, period or scope as said court will deem reasonable or enforceable under the circumstances. If such partial enforcement is not possible in such jurisdiction, the provision will be deemed severed as to such jurisdiction, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

(v)Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event of Seller’s or any of its subsidiaries’ actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions contained in this Section 7(c), Buyer will have no adequate remedy at law. Seller accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions contained in this Section 7(c), Buyer will be entitled to the following rights and remedies, without the need of posting bond or proving actual damages, each of which rights and remedies will be independent of the others and severally enforceable: (A) such injunctive and other equitable relief as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction; and (B) the right and remedy to require Seller to account for and pay over to Buyer any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such Seller as the result of any transactions or conduct constituting a breach of any of the provisions contained in this Section 7(c). Nothing contained herein will be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages that it is able to prove.

(vi)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(c) to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on a Person who acquires control of Seller, unless such acquisition is consummated primarily for the purpose of avoiding the obligations under this Section 7(c).

(d)Transfer of Assets. The Parties agree to the following with respect to the delivery to Buyer of the Acquired Assets:

(i)In the event that Seller has breached any of its representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of this Agreement or any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (including the post-closing covenants set forth in Section 7), and, provided that Buyer makes a written claim for indemnification against Seller pursuant to Section 8(c) below within such survival period, then Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including, with respect to Indemnification Claims asserted pursuant to Section 8 prior to the end of the applicable survival period, any Adverse Consequences Buyer Indemnitees may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period), in each case resulting from, arising out of, or caused by, such breach.

(ii)From and after the Closing, and without giving effect to any limitations set forth in Section 8(e) hereof (except with respect to Section 8(b)(ii)(B), which shall be subject to such limitations), Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer Indemnities from and against the entirety of any and all damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, reasonable amounts paid in settlement, obligations, taxes, Encumbrances, losses or fees, together with all reasonable expenses and fees, including court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses, including those arising out of any actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, official inquiries, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees or rulings, in each case arising out of, resulting from, or caused by:

(A)Any amounts owing pursuant to the payment obligations set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 14, 2012 by and among Seller, CL Crown, Inc., Hemosphere, Inc. and Xxxxxxxx Xxxx.

(B)a personal injury to the extent such personal injury is caused solely by a manufacturing defect in or a design defect in a Device manufactured by Seller prior to the Closing Date or is caused solely by a failure to warn in the printed Instructions for Use (“IFU”) included by Seller on, or in, the package containing, a Device manufactured by Seller prior to the Closing Date.

(iii)In the event that Buyer has breached any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 4 of this Agreement or any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and provided that Seller makes a written claim for indemnification pursuant to

-20-

Section 8(c) below within such survival period, then Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates, managers, members, employees and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences Seller Indemnitees may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including, with respect to Indemnification Claims asserted pursuant to Section 8 prior to the end of the applicable survival period, any Adverse Consequences Seller Indemnitees may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) , in each case arising out of, resulting from, or caused by, such breach.

(v)If both Seller and Buyer breach a covenant, representation or warranty in connection with a single claim for indemnification by a Third Party, then the obligations of (i) and (iii) will apply, but the Adverse Consequences of indemnifying the other Party pursuant to this Section 8 will be offset against the Adverse Consequences of such breach for each Party.

(c)Matters Involving Third Parties.

(i)If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which gives rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that as long as the notice of such indemnification claim to the Indemnifying Party is made prior to the expiration of the survival period pursuant to Section 8(a), no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is actually prejudiced.

(ii)Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 business days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim of its intention to contest the Third Party Claim (it being understood that the Indemnifying Party may reserve its rights as to whether or not it in fact is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party), (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder (including the payment in

-21-

cash of all fees and costs associated with such defense), (C) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. If a Third Party Claim involves entitles both Parties or their indemnitees to indemnification, then the Party reasonably likely to have the more costly indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8 shall be deemed to be the Indemnifying Party for purposes of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(iii)So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8(c)(ii) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), unless the following shall apply (in which case the Indemnifying Party may settle and compromise such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party): (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party; and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full in cash by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to any settlement or compromise offer, the Indemnifying Party may continue to contest such Third Party Claim and, in such event, (subject always to Section 8(b)(i)) the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party for such Third Party Claim shall not exceed such settlement or compromise offer.

(iv)In the event any of the conditions in Section 8(c)(ii) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party (with cash) promptly and periodically for its reasonable costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 8.

(d)Characterization of Payments. All indemnification payments under this Section 8 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(e)Limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no party to this Agreement shall be liable to any other party for consequential, special, exemplary, or

-22-

punitive damages; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall be liable to an Indemnified Party under this Agreement for all Third Party Claim amounts that include any of the foregoing types of damages. All indemnification payments payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party as a result of the Adverse Consequences for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification. Each party agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to realize such insurance benefits. The maximum aggregate indemnification obligation of any Party with respect to any and all claims under this Agreement or pursuant to the Transactions shall be capped at and shall not exceed $18,500,000 (taking into account all indemnification payments previously made by such Party), except that indemnification obligations solely pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii)(A) shall not be limited by this provision. Unless total Adverse Consequences for which a Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8 exceed $185,000, such Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for such Adverse Consequences, except that indemnification obligations solely pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii)(B) shall not be limited by this provision. Each Party’s indemnification obligation with respect to a representation and warranty shall terminate upon the expiration and termination of the representation and warranty pursuant to Section 8(a); provided, however, that if a Party asserts a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(c) based on a breach of a representation and warranty in this Agreement prior to the expiration and termination of such representation or warranty, then with respect to the representation and warranty upon which such indemnification is based, the survival period of such representation and warranty shall be extended and shall not terminate with respect to such indemnification claim only until such claim is resolved. The indemnification obligations in Section 8(b)(ii)(B) and (iv) shall terminate upon the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if a Party asserts a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(c) based on Section 8(b)(ii)(B) or (iv), as applicable, prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, then with such indemnification claim, the survival period of such representation and warranty shall be extended and shall not terminate with respect to such indemnification claim only until such claim is resolved.

(f)Escrow Agreement. During the term of the Escrow Agreement (i.e. the first anniversary of the Closing unless extended with respect to then pending claims), the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 8 shall be first satisfied from the Escrow Fund. Except with respect to (i) a breach by Seller of any of the Fundamental Representations prior to the expiration of the survival period with respect to such Fundamental Representation, Seller’s fraud and indemnification under Section 8(b)(ii) the Escrow Fund shall be Buyer’s exclusive remedy for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

(g)Exclusive. The provisions of this Article 8 hereof set forth the exclusive rights and remedies of Buyer and Seller with respect to matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, and such indemnification remedies are in lieu of all other remedies based upon any other theory, except with respect to fraud by a Party.

(h)Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(i)Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), in each case, only by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the non-breaching Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(j)Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

(k)Expenses. Except as provided in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller will each bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions.

(l)Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

(m)Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

(n)Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of such provisions and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 10(o) below), in addition to the right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8 and any remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity, with respect to fraud by the other Party.

(o)Waiver of Trial By Jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 10(o) IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND CONSUMMATED THE TRANSACTIONS IF THIS SECTION 10(o) WERE NOT PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.

(p)Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, goods and service, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions shall be paid by the Party against whom the relevant taxing authority assesses such Tax.
