The Purchase Price less the Indebtedness Pay-off Amount (the “Closing Payment”) shall

ACTIVE/123404471.12

be paid by Purchaser at the Closing by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Seller no later than [***] Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Closing; Other Payments and Actions. The consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place by means of a virtual closing through electronic exchange of signatures, no later than the [***] Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 7 and Article 8 (other than those conditions set forth in Article 7 and Article 8 that are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time, or date as Purchaser and the Seller may jointly designate. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. The Closing will be deemed to occur at 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the Closing Date.

(i) the Seller shall (A) subject to Section 2.1 and Section 2.3, transfer to Purchaser the Transferred Assets, free and clear of all Liens, and Assumed Liabilities; and (B) deliver to Purchaser each deliverable set forth in Section 7.5, in each case, other than those Transferred Assets and deliverables that by their nature or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Separation Services Agreement and the Data Transition Plan, are to be delivered after the Closing or are not in the Seller’s possession or Control as of the Closing Date, which such Transferred Assets shall be delivered promptly after the Closing Date, and in no event longer than [***] months thereafter (subject to reasonable extension with the consent of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and

(ii) Purchaser shall (A) subject to Section 2.8, pay or cause to be paid to the Seller an amount equal to the Closing Payment, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller in writing no later than [***] Business Days prior to the Closing; (B) the payees set forth in the Debt Payoff Letters the applicable Indebtedness Pay-off Amount; and (C) deliver to the Seller each deliverable set forth in Section 8.3.

Section 2.6 Restricted Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no asset, claim, right or benefit, the assignment or transfer of which is otherwise contemplated by this Agreement (or any Transaction Document), other than any Shared Contracts or any rights or benefits to be assigned or transferred to Purchaser thereunder, which are addressed in Section 6.9, shall be assigned or transferred if such assignment or transfer (or attempt to make such an assignment or transfer) without the consent or approval of a third party would constitute a breach, violation or other contravention of the rights of such third party (such assets, claims, rights or benefits being collectively referred to herein as “Restricted Assets”) until such consent or approval is obtained, at which time such Restricted Asset shall be automatically assigned or transferred. The Seller shall be solely responsible for and shall pay any and all costs and fees associated with obtaining such consent or approval. If any such consent or approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, then until the earliest date when (a) such consent or approval is obtained, (b) the earlier termination or expiration of the then-current term of such Restricted Asset and (c) [***] months following the Closing Date: (i) the Seller shall, beginning on the Closing Date (x) upon request of Purchaser, continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with Purchaser in attempting to obtain any such consent or approval and (y) endeavor to provide Purchaser with the benefits under each Restricted Asset as if such Restricted Asset had been assigned to Purchaser (including by means of any licensing, operating, subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement), if the same is permitted under the

ACTIVE/123404471.12

applicable Restricted Asset and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall pay, perform or otherwise discharge all of the covenants and obligations of the Seller pursuant to each such Restricted Asset (in accordance with the respective terms and subject to the respective conditions thereof); provided, however, that Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the Seller in connection therewith; and, provided, further, that none of Seller or any its Affiliates shall be required to pay money to any Third Party (unless such amounts are agreed to be reimbursed by Purchaser), commence any litigation or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party in connection with such efforts.

Section 2.7 Wrong Pockets. Subject to Section 2.6, if any Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability remains vested in the Seller or any of its Affiliates following the Closing, the Seller shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to) transfer such Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability as soon as reasonably practicable to Purchaser or its designee for no additional consideration. The Seller shall notify Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware that there are any Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities in its possession or control or that of any Affiliate of the Seller. If any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability is vested in Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Closing, Purchaser shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to) transfer such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability as soon as reasonably practicable to the Seller or its designee for no consideration. Purchaser shall notify the Seller as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware that there are any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities in its possession or control.

Section 2.8 Withholding.

(a) In the event any payments to be made to the Seller or its Affiliates under this Agreement are subject to withholding tax under Legal Requirements, including extra-territorial taxation, or if it is unclear whether the Legal Requirements, including extra-territorial taxation, are met, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be authorized to deduct any such withholding tax from any payment hereunder, and shall pay all such amounts that have been withheld or deducted to the relevant tax authority, so that only the correspondingly reduced amount of payments (i.e. the full amount payable less withholding tax) is paid out to the Seller. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice of the intention to withhold at least [***] days prior to any such withholding and shall provide the Seller with proof of the withholding tax payment. For the avoidance of doubt: the term withholding tax does not cover Swiss VAT (including Swiss input VAT).

(b) The Seller and Purchaser shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain relief or reduction of withholding tax under the applicable tax treaties, including but not limited to the submission or issuance of requisite forms and information. If a special procedure is required for treaty relief under any Legal Requirement, a treaty relief based on a tax treaty will only be taken into account if the Seller submits any exemption certificate requested by Purchaser to Purchaser in accordance with Legal Requirements on or prior to the time of the payment to the Seller.

(c) If no withholding tax deduction has been made on the payments to the Seller or its Affiliates under this Agreement, but tax authorities subsequently take the position that a withholding tax deduction should have been made, including extra-territorial taxation, the Seller shall provide, at its own expense, all reasonable support to Purchaser to obtain relief or reduction of withholding under the applicable laws and tax treaties, including but not limited to the submission or issuance of requisite forms and information, and the Parties will bear such liability (reimburse one another as necessary) in a manner consistent with that which would have resulted had the tax been originally withheld. Any refunds of

ACTIVE/123404471.12

withholding taxes that are granted to the Seller by the competent tax authority and which would cause the Seller to receive payments in excess of that which Purchaser would owe under this Agreement, including related interest, shall be paid to Purchaser by the Seller.

Section 2.9 Allocation of the Purchase Price. Within [***] days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price plus the amount of any Assumed Liabilities (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes as of the Closing) among the Transferred Assets. The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and as set forth on Schedule 1. Within [***] days of its receipt of such Allocation Schedule, the Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether it has any objection to such Allocation Schedule and, if it has any objection, it shall specify the nature and grounds for such objection with particularity; provided, however, no objection shall be raised or considered that is contrary to the Parties’ agreement set forth on Schedule 1. Purchaser and the Seller shall, during the [***] day period following such delivery, negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes with respect to the Allocation Schedule. Thereafter, if the Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any such dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within a [***] day period after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to the Seller, such dispute shall be resolved by an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually appointed by Purchaser and the Seller, and shall provide the Seller and Purchaser with a copy of the final Allocation Schedule (the “Final Allocation Schedule”). The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and the Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, should the parties be unable to agree to the appointment of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants within [***] days after the parties determine that the Allocation Schedule is disputed, either in whole or in part, Purchaser shall select an accounting firm from Schedule 8 and such firm shall be appointed to resolve the dispute provided no conflict exists for either party at the time of appointment of the hiring of such firm. The Parties shall act in accordance with the computations and allocations contained in the Final Allocation Schedule and not take any position inconsistent therewith, including with respect to any Tax Return filings (including, without limitation, IRS Form 8594) or with respect to any prosecution, defense, or conduct of any pending or threatened Tax contest, unless otherwise required to do so in connection with a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code or a comparable provision of state, local or non-U.S. law, and after which prompt notice thereof shall be given to the other Parties. If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall adjust the Final Allocation Schedule to reflect such adjustment in Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 2.9 and provide the Seller with a copy thereof.

(b) Authority. The Seller has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

From and after the date of this Agreement, in addition to any other obligations of confidentiality that any Restricted Party may be subject to with respect to the Cystinosis Business, Transferred Assets, Licensed IP, the Contemplated Transactions, or in connection with any limited liability company, employment, consulting, or confidentiality agreement between such Restricted Party and Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, which is similar in form and substance to the confidentiality terms set forth in this Section 5.5(c), each Restricted Party shall keep confidential, and shall ensure that each Affiliate and Representative of the Seller and such Restricted Party keeps confidential, at all times after the date of this Agreement, all Confidential Information and all information concerning the Contemplated Transactions and the Transaction Documents, except (i) if required to be disclosed by applicable Legal Requirement or judicial process, but only to the extent it must be so disclosed, in each case after prior consultation with Purchaser so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective Order or waive such Restricted Party’s compliance with this Agreement (and, if Purchaser seeks a protective Order, such Restricted Party shall cooperate and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to cooperate, as Purchaser shall reasonably request at Purchaser’s expense); or (ii) except with respect to Personal Information, to the extent that such Confidential Information or other information is or has been made generally available to the public other than through improper disclosure by a Restricted Party or any Affiliate or Representative of the Seller. In the event that any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by a Restricted Party in order to comply with any applicable Legal Requirement or judicial process, such Restricted Party shall (x) consult with Purchaser so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective Order, and (y) if Purchaser seeks a protective Order, cooperate as Purchaser shall reasonably request, at Purchaser’s expense. No Restricted Party shall use, and each Restricted Party shall ensure that such Restricted Party’s Representatives do not use, any Confidential Information at any time following the date of this Agreement, other than to the extent necessary for such Restricted Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

ACTIVE/123404471.12

scope of the covenants contained in this Section 5.5 have been considered by such Restricted Party and such Restricted Party has received independent legal counsel with respect thereto; and (vi) such Restricted Party, either alone or through its Affiliates, has received sufficiently high consideration and other benefits as a result of the Contemplated Transactions, and such consideration and other benefits justify the covenants contained in this Section 5.5.

(e) Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Restricted Party agrees that, in the event of any breach, attempted breach, or threatened breach by such Restricted Party of any covenant, obligation, or other provision set forth in this Section 5.5: (i) Purchaser or one of the other Beneficiaries may suffer irreparable harm which cannot adequately be compensated for with monetary Damages; and (ii) Purchaser and each other Beneficiary shall be entitled, without proof of actual Damages (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary Damages) to seek: (A) a decree or Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation, or other provision; and (B) an injunction restraining such breach, attempted breach, or threatened breach. Each Restricted Party further agrees that no Beneficiary shall be required to obtain, furnish, or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 5.5(e), and such Restricted Party irrevocably waives any right such Restricted Party may have to require any Beneficiary to obtain, furnish, or post any such bond or similar instrument.

(f) Severability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any term or provision of this Section 5.5 that is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 5.5 or the legality, validity, or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 5.5 is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any illegal, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is legal, valid, and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision, and this Section 5.5 shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to amend this Section 5.5 to replace such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision with a legal, valid, and enforceable term or provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business, and other purposes of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision.

(g) Relationship to Other Covenants.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5, to the extent that any Restricted Party is subject to any restrictive covenant, which is similar in form and substance to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5.5, in connection with any limited liability company, employment, consulting, non-compete or non-solicit agreement between such Restricted Party and the Seller or any Affiliate thereof that is not a Transferred Contract, the terms of this Section 5.5 shall supersede and control to the extent that such terms exceed the scope of the restrictive covenants set forth in such agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5, to the extent that any Restricted Party is subject to any restrictive covenant, which is similar in form and substance to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5.5, in connection with any

limited liability company, employment, consulting, non-compete or non-solicit agreement between such Restricted Party and Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, including any agreement that is a Transferred Contract, the terms of such agreement shall supersede and control to the extent that such restrictive covenants exceed the scope set forth in this Section 5.5.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.5 will apply to all of the successors and assigns of Seller or its Affiliates. In the event that a majority of the business of Seller (other than the Cystinosis Business) is sold to any Person or Persons other than to Purchaser or its Affiliates, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, then Seller will, in each such case, ensure that the successors and assigns of Seller will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6 Ancillary Agreements. Prior to or at the Closing, the Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser all agreements and documents set forth in Article 7 as to be executed by the Seller.

Each such filing, and the form of each such notice or Consent, shall be subject to the prior review and reasonable approval of Purchaser.

Section 6.2 Announcements. Seller shall be permitted to issue a press release in form and substance reasonably acceptable by Purchaser promptly following the execution hereof (the timing of such press release to be established in consultation with Purchaser), and Seller shall provide Purchaser a meaningful opportunity to review and comment upon and to approve in writing such press release or public announcement in advance. Except as set forth in the prior sentence, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, issue any public report, statement or press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure to any Person with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Contemplated Transactions, without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall be in Purchaser’s sole discretion), except as may be required by Legal Requirements or any national or international stock exchange regulations applicable to Seller (in which event Seller shall provide Purchaser a meaningful opportunity to review and comment upon such press release or public announcement in advance, to the extent reasonable under the circumstances). Purchaser may make any disclosures, announcements, public statements or issue any press releases in its sole discretion.

Section 6.3 Tax Matters.

(a) Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return of, and with any audit examination or Legal Proceeding relating to any Liability for Taxes with respect to the Transferred Assets and Cystinosis Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, including furnishing or making available during normal business hours records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney, or other materials reasonably necessary or useful for the preparation of any such Tax Return, the conduct of any audit examination, or the defense of any claim by any Taxing Authority relating to the imposition of any Tax; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.3(a) shall require Purchaser to provide the Seller with any consolidated, combined, unitary, or other Tax Return of Purchaser.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of such Taxes that are allocable to the Seller shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and the amount of such Taxes allocable to Purchaser shall be determined in the same manner except that the numerator shall be the number of days in such taxable period subsequent to the Closing Date.

The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within [***] days after delivery of such statement. In the event that either the Seller or Purchaser shall make any other payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 6.3(d), the other party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than [***] days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim.

ACTIVE/123404471.12

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof and (B) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense.

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, all the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder, and the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed regarding the status of any such Third Party Claim. No Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise, or discharge any Third Party Claim without the other applicable Parties’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement, compromise, or discharge of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to consent to any such compromise or settlement if it does not respond to notice of such proposed compromise or settlement within [***] Business Days.

(iv) The indemnification with respect to an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to pay legal fees and other costs and Expenses of defense of a Third Party Claim required by this Article 10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense of such Third Party Claim, as and when bills are received.

(v) All claims under this Article 10 other than Third Party Claims shall be governed by Section 10.7(b).

(b) Direct Claims. If any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article 10 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party (any such claim, a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such Direct Claim with reasonable promptness (but no later than [***] calendar days following the Indemnified Party becoming aware of such claim) to the Indemnifying Party (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which such Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 and the estimated amount of Damages, if reasonably practicable, it is seeking recovery from the Indemnified Party); provided, that the failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have actually been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within [***] days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified

ACTIVE/123404471.12

Party under the applicable provisions of this Article 10, such Direct Claim specified in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under the applicable provision of this Article 10, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute within the [***] day period after the Indemnifying party delivers notice of such dispute, and, if not resolved through negotiations within the [***] day period, then either Party may initiate a litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter of such Direct Claim in accordance with this Agreement.

ACTIVE/123404471.12

(b) Forum and Venue. Except as otherwise provided in Article 10, any action, suit, or other Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement), any Contemplated Transaction or the legal relationship of the Parties (whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort, or otherwise), including an action, suit, or other Legal Proceeding based upon intentional misrepresentation, willful breach, willful misconduct, or fraud, shall be brought or otherwise commenced exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle. Each Party: (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle (and each appellate court located in the same) in connection with any such action, suit, or Legal Proceeding; (ii) agrees that each state and federal court located in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; (iii) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the jurisdiction or laying of venue of any action or Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions in any such court; and (iv) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise), in any such action, suit, or Legal Proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, any claim that such Party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such action, suit, or Legal Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such action, suit, or Legal Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court. The Parties hereby agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit, or Legal Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.3 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Legal Requirements shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

Section 11.8 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that a breach by any Party of any covenant, obligation, or other provision set forth in this Agreement may cause irreparable harm, and that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement: (a) the other Party shall be entitled, without proof of actual Damages and without being required to prove that money Damages are an inadequate remedy (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to (i) a decree or Order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation, or other provision and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (b) the other Party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, Order, or injunction or in connection with any related action, suit, or other Legal Proceeding.

Section 11.9 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege, or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege, or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege, or remedy. No Person shall be

ACTIVE/123404471.12

deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege, or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

Section 11.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, any right IT MAY HAVE to A trial by jury in any action, suit, or other LEGAL Proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of, under or related to this Agreement, any Contemplated Transaction or disputes related hereto. each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this agreement by, among other things, mutual waivers and CERTIFICATIONs in this Section 11.10.

Section 11.11 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered, or supplemented, in whole or in part, other than by means of a written instrument, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and the Seller.

Section 11.12 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 11.13 Parties in Interest. No provision of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any employee, creditor, or other Person, other than Purchaser, the Seller, and their respective successors and permitted assigns (if any).

Section 11.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded by this Agreement and shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms until the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement is terminated or expires in accordance with its terms.

Section 11.15 Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered Sections and sub-Sections contained in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered Section shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered Section or sub-Section of this Agreement, except to the extent that: (a) such information is cross-referenced on another Section of the Disclosure Schedule; or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without reference to any document referred to therein or any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed) that such information qualifies another representation or warranty of the Seller in this Agreement. The mere listing of a document or other item in, or attachment of a copy thereof to, the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation

ACTIVE/123404471.12

or warranty made in this Agreement (unless the representation or warranty pertains directly to the existence of the document or other item itself).

Section 11.16 Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders. The Parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including”, and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. As used in this Agreement, the word “or” shall mean “and/or”. Except as otherwise indicated, all references to “Sections”, “Schedules”, and “Exhibits” in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, respectively. Any Contract, instrument, or statute defined or referred to in this Agreement or in Article 1 means such Contract, instrument, or statute, in each case as from time to time amended, modified, or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession or comparable successor statutes. Any Contract or instrument defined or referred to in this Agreement or in Article 1 shall include all exhibits, schedules, and other documents or Contracts attached thereto. Any statute defined or referred to in this Agreement or in Article 1 shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herewith”, and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Any period of time hereunder ending on a day that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next Business Day. For all purposes of this Agreement, including any deadlines, delivery of notices or measurements of the period hereunder, a “day” shall mean 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on such day. Any references in this Agreement to “Dollars” or “$” shall be to U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, in computing any period of time described in this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period, or the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run, will be excluded, and the last day of the period so computed will be included.
