Section 2.3 Treatment of Shared Contracts. Without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Sections 2.2(a) and (b):

(a)Unless the Parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any Contract described in this Section 2.3 are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, any Contract that is listed on Schedule 2.3(a) (a “Shared Contract”) shall be assigned in part to the applicable member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, at or after the Effective Time, so that each Party or the members of their respective Groups as of the Effective Time shall be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall Assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to their respective Businesses; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall any member of any Group be required to assign (or amend) any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract (including any Policy) which is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms (including any terms imposing consents or conditions on an assignment where such consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled, subject to Section 2.2(d)), and (y) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, cannot be amended or has not for any other reason been assigned or amended, or if such assignment or amendment would impair the benefit the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, (A) at the reasonable request of the Party (or the member of such Party’s Group) to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Xxxxxxx Retained Asset or Envista Asset shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, for a period ending not later than six (6) months after the Effective Date (unless the term of a Shared Contract (excluding any extensions thereof) ends at a later date, in which case for a period ending on such date), take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause such member of the Envista Group or the Xxxxxxx Group, as the case may be, to receive the benefit of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the Envista Business or the Xxxxxxx Retained Business, as the case may be (in each case, to the extent so related) as if such Shared Contract had been assigned to (or amended to allow) a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.3 and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may arise by reason of such arrangement) as if such Liabilities had been Assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.3; provided that the Party for which such Shared Contract is a Xxxxxxx Retained Asset or an Envista Asset, as applicable, shall be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any

actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such Shared Contract, as the case may be, and (B) the Party to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a separate contract pursuant to which it procures such rights and obligations as are necessary such that it no longer needs to avail itself of the arrangements provided pursuant to this Section 2.3(a); provided that, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Xxxxxxx Retained Asset or Envista Asset, and such Party’s applicable Subsidiaries shall not be liable for any actions or omissions taken in accordance with clause (y) of this Section 2.3(a).

(b)Unless otherwise determined by Xxxxxxx in its sole discretion, each of Xxxxxxx and Envista shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (A) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared Contract inuring to its respective Businesses as Assets owned by, and/or Liabilities of, as applicable, such Party as of the Effective Time and (B) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

Section 2.4 Intercompany Accounts, Loans and Agreements.

(a)Except as set forth in Section 5.1(b), all intercompany receivables and payables (other than (x) intercompany loans (which shall be governed by Section 2.4(c)), (y) receivables or payables otherwise specifically provided for on Schedule 2.4(a), and (z) payables created or required by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Continuing Arrangements) and intercompany balances, including in respect of any cash balances, any cash balances representing deposited checks or drafts or any cash held in any centralized cash management system between any member of the Xxxxxxx Group, on the one hand, and any member of the Envista Group, on the other hand, which exist and are reflected in the accounting records of the relevant Parties immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall continue to be outstanding after the Effective Time and thereafter (i) shall be an obligation of the relevant Party (or the relevant member of such Party’s Group), each responsible for fulfilling its (or a member of such Party’s Group’s) obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such obligation or if such terms and conditions are not set forth in writing, such obligation shall be satisfied within 30 days of a written request by the beneficiary of such obligation given to the corresponding obligor thereunder, and (ii) shall be for each relevant Party (or the relevant member of such Party’s Group) an obligation to a third party and shall no longer be an intercompany account.

(b)As between the Parties (and the members of their respective Group) all payments and reimbursements received after the Effective Time by one Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a Business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and, promptly upon receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, such Party shall pay or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the Party entitled thereto the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.

(c)Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(c), each of Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group, on the one hand, and Envista or any member of the Envista Group, on the other hand, will settle with the other Party, as the case may be, all intercompany loans, including any promissory notes, owned or owed by the other Party on or prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise agreed to in good faith by the Parties in writing on or after the date hereof, it being understood and agreed by the Parties that all guarantees and Credit Support Instruments shall be governed by Section 2.10.

Section 2.5 Limitation of Liability; Intercompany Contracts. No Party nor any Subsidiary thereof shall be liable to the other Party or any Subsidiary of the other Party based upon, arising out of or resulting from any Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding between or among it and the other Party existing at or prior to the Effective Time (other than as set forth on Schedule 2.5, pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any Continuing Arrangements, any Third Party Agreements, as set forth in Section 2.4 or Section 5.1(b) or pursuant to any other Contract entered into in connection

herewith or in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) and each Party hereby terminates any and all Contracts, arrangements, courses of dealing or understandings between or among it and the other Party effective as of the Effective Time (other than as set forth on Schedule 2.5, this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any Continuing Arrangements, any Third Party Agreements, as set forth in Section 2.4 or Section 5.1(b) or pursuant to any Contract entered into in connection herewith or in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby), provided, however, that with respect to any Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding between or among the Parties or any Subsidiaries thereof discovered after the Effective Time, the Parties agree that such Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding shall nonetheless be deemed terminated as of the Effective Time with the only liability of the Parties in respect thereof to be the obligations incurred between the Parties pursuant to such Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding between the Effective Time and the time of discovery or later termination of any such Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding.

Section 2.6 Transfers Not Effected at or Prior to the Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Effective Time.

(a)To the extent that any Transfers or Assumptions contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall, except as set forth in Schedule 2.6, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Transfers or Assumptions as promptly following the Effective Time as shall be practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Article II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated, from and after the Effective Time, except as set forth in Schedule 2.6, (i) the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and (ii) the Party intended to Assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability. To the extent the foregoing applies to any Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.3) to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Effective Time, the treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.9, to the extent applicable. In addition, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be Transferred or by the Party Assuming such Liability in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member or members of the Xxxxxxx Group or the Envista Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to Assume such Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, except as set forth in Schedule 2.6 and subject to Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.9(b), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.2) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party, be deemed to have become effective as of the Effective Time.

(c)The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or otherwise, except as set forth in Schedule 2.6, shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Asset or Liability, as the case may be.

(d)After the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications properly belonging to another Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party is hereby authorized to receive and, if reasonably necessary to identify the proper recipient in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), open all mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications received by such Party that belongs to such other Party, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages, electronic mail or any other written communications (or, in case the same also relates to the business of the receiving Party or another Party, copies thereof) to such other Party as provided for in Section 10.6; it being understood that if a Party receives a telephone call that relates to the business of the other Party, then the receiving Party shall inform the person making such telephone call to contact the other Party. The provisions of this Section 2.6(d) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party for service of process purposes.

(e)With respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Section 2.6(a), each of Xxxxxxx and Envista shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

Section 2.7 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities to the extent not executed prior to the date hereof, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Party’s Group of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets and the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party of its Assumed Liabilities for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to Delaware Law or the Laws of one of the other states of the United States or, if not appropriate for a given Transfer or Assumption, and for Transfers or Assumptions to be effected pursuant to non-U.S. Laws, in such form as the Parties shall reasonably agree, including the Transfer of real property by mutually acceptable conveyance deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as may be required by the jurisdiction in which the real property is located. The Transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means

of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to Transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable Law, by notation on public registries.

Section 2.8 Further Assurances; Ancillary Agreements.

(a)In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.6, each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts, at and after the Effective Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b)Without limiting the foregoing, at and after the Effective Time, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party (except as provided in Sections 2.2(b)(ii) and 2.6(c)) from and after the Effective Time, to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of Transfer or title, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Consents and/or Governmental Approvals, any permit, license, Contract, indenture or other instrument (including any Consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transfers of the applicable Assets and the assignment and Assumption of the applicable Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of any other Party (except as provided in Sections 2.2(b)(ii) and 2.6(c)), take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party such title and such rights as possessed by the transferring Party to the Assets allocated to such other Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Party (or member of such Party’s Group) receives any Assets (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds from accounts receivable with respect to such Asset) or is liable for any Liability that is otherwise allocated to any Person that is a member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, such Party agrees to promptly Transfer, or cause to be Transferred such Asset or Liability to the other Party so entitled thereto (or member of such other Party’s Group as designated by such other Party) at such other Party’s expense. Prior to any such Transfer, such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, shall be held in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6.

(d)At or prior to the Effective Time, each of Xxxxxxx and Envista shall enter into, and/or (where applicable) shall cause a member or members of their respective Group to enter into, the Ancillary Agreements and any other Contracts reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(e)On or prior to the Effective Date, Xxxxxxx and Envista in their respective capacities as direct or indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by any Subsidiary of Xxxxxxx or Subsidiary of Envista, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 2.9 Novation of Liabilities; Indemnification.

(a)Each Party, at the request of any member of the other Party’s Group (such other Party, the “Other Party”), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign to the

fullest extent permitted by applicable Law all obligations under Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed by Section 2.3) and Liabilities (other than with regard to guarantees or Credit Support Instruments, which shall be governed by Section 2.10), but solely to the extent that the Parties are jointly or each severally liable with regard to any such Contracts or Liabilities and such Contracts or Liabilities have been, in whole, but not in part, allocated to the first Party, or, if permitted by applicable Law, to obtain in writing the unconditional release of the applicable Other Party so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group shall be solely responsible for such Contracts or Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party). In addition, with respect to any Action where any Party hereto is a defendant, when and if requested by such Party, the Other Party at its own cost will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the requesting Party as a defendant to the extent that such Action relates solely to Assets or Liabilities that the Other Party (or any member of such requesting Party’s Group) has been allocated pursuant to this Article II, and the Other Party will cooperate and assist in any required communication with any plaintiff or other related third party.

(b)If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment referenced in Section 2.9(a), the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Party, the Party or member of such Party’s Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause a member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Party’s Group thereunder from and after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Liable Party or a member of such Liable Party’s Group, as agent or subcontractor of the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group, to the extent reasonably necessary to pay, perform and discharge fully any Liabilities, or retain the benefits (including pursuant to Section 2.6) associated with such Contract or license, is hereby granted the right to, among other things, (i) prepare, execute and submit invoices under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (ii) send correspondence relating to matters under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (iii) file Actions in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) in connection with such Contract or license and (iv) otherwise exercise all rights in respect of such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group); provided that (y) such actions shall be taken in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) only to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing and (z) to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.9(b) and the provisions of any more specific arrangement between a member of such Liable Party’s Group and a member of such Other Party’s Group, such more specific arrangement shall control. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided, that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Liabilities arise from such Other Party’s willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence in connection therewith, in which case such Other Party shall be responsible for such Liabilities; it being understood that any exercise of rights under this Agreement by such Other Party shall not be deemed to be willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or, at the direction of the Liable Party, to another member of the Liable Party’s Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall, to the fullest extent permitted

by applicable Law, promptly Transfer or cause the Transfer of all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of such Other Party or any member of such Other Party’s Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall Assume such rights and Liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Each of the applicable Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take all actions and do all things reasonably necessary on its part, or such Subsidiaries’ part, under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.9.

(b)At or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent required to obtain a release from a guaranty:

(i)of any member of the Xxxxxxx Group, Envista shall execute a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of the existing guaranty or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guaranty agreement, except to the extent that such existing guaranty contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Envista would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached; and

(ii)of any member of the Envista Group, Xxxxxxx shall execute a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of the existing guaranty or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guaranty agreement, except to the extent that such existing guaranty contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Xxxxxxx would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached.

In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, Envista shall and shall cause the other members of the Envista Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Xxxxxxx Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Xxxxxxx Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Envista Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Envista Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Envista Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time, (b) any Envista Asset or Envista Business, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, (c) any breach by Envista of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder, or (d) any Liabilities of the Xxxxxxx Group under any of the agreements listed on Schedule 5.3.

Section 5.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) Direct Claims. Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Section 5.4(b), each Xxxxxxx Indemnitee and Envista Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article V or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), within forty-five (45) days of such determination, stating in such written notice the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and, to the extent practicable, method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of a notice under this Section 5.4(a) within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in such notice from the Indemnitee shall be conclusively determined to be a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII.

(b) Third Party Claims. If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (which notice obligation may be satisfied by providing copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim), and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within the earlier of (x) forty-five (45) days or (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable response period under such Third Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. For all purposes of this Section 5.4(b), each Party shall be deemed to have notice of the matters set forth on Schedule 1.1(86)(vii).

(c) Other than in the case of (i) Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein or (ii) indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, and if it does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 5.5 at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is an Action by a Governmental Entity, (y) involves an allegation of a criminal violation or (z) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee. In connection with the Indemnifying Party’s defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the Indemnitee’s business or operations, such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter; provided further, that if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions to such defense or to its liability therefor, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article V shall be binding on the Indemnitee, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnitee of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the period specified in this Section 5.4, such Indemnitee may

defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (c) above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.5 and Section 8.3, or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article V against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article V shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4, the terms of the Ancillary Agreement will govern.

(g) The provisions of this Article V shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claims brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement. There shall be no requirement under this Section 5.4 to give a notice with respect to any Third Party Claim that exists as of the Effective Time. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions (regardless of the parties to the Actions) may be partly Xxxxxxx Liabilities and partly Envista Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII. Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a Third Party Claim is being resolved.

Section 5.5 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.

(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.5(a) shall derogate from any Party’s rights to control the defense of any Action in accordance with Section 5.4.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Action (i) by a Governmental Entity against Envista relating to matters involving anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, export control and similar laws, where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Action occurred prior to the Effective Time or (ii) where the resolution of such Action by order, judgment, settlement or otherwise, could include any condition, limitation or other stipulation that could, in the reasonable judgment of Xxxxxxx, adversely impact the conduct of the Xxxxxxx Retained Businesses, Xxxxxxx shall have, at Xxxxxxx’x expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such Action, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by Envista to any third party involved in such Action (including any Governmental Entity), to the extent that Xxxxxxx’x

participation does not affect any privilege in a material and adverse manner; provided that to the extent that any such action requires the submission by Envista of any content relating to any current or former officer or director of Xxxxxxx, such content will only be submitted in a form approved by Xxxxxxx in its reasonable discretion. With regard to the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), Xxxxxxx shall have a right to consent to any compromise or settlement related thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any notices or reports to be submitted to, or reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements to be made with, any Governmental Entity by Envista or its Subsidiaries (“Governmental Filing”) where the Governmental Filing requires disclosure of facts, information or data that relate, in whole or in part, to periods prior to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx shall have the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment on the preparation and content of any such Governmental Filing in advance of its submission to a Governmental Entity, and Envista shall in good faith consider and take into account any comments so provided by Xxxxxxx with respect to such Governmental Filing.

(d) Each of Xxxxxxx and Envista agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 5.6 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred.

Section 5.7 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any recovery by any Indemnitee for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (which such proceeds shall be reduced by the present value, based on that Party’s then cost of short-term borrowing, of future premium increases known at such time) and (ii) net of any proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee from any unaffiliated third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article V to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) Any Indemnity Payment shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments corresponding to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, the Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

(c) The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release

provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.8 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article V is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice with respect to any Third Party Claims in accordance with Section 5.4(b)) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 5.8, contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Envista and each other member of the Envista Group, on the one hand, and Xxxxxxx and each other member of the Xxxxxxx Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. With respect to any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or related to information contained in the IPO Disclosure Documents or other securities law filing, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the Envista Business of a member of the Envista Group, on the one hand, or the Xxxxxxx Retained Business or a member of the Xxxxxxx Group, on the other hand.

Section 5.9 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a) The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall survive the IPO.

(b) The rights and obligations of any member of the Xxxxxxx Group or any member of the Envista Group, in each case, under this Article V shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.10 Environmental Matters.

(a) Exchange of Information. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each of Xxxxxxx and Envista agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, at any time before, at, or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefore, reasonable access to any non-privileged information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group and reasonable access to its employees to the extent that (i) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, specific alleged Environmental Liabilities, including the requesting party’s alleged or potential link to environmental contamination at an Off-Site Location or real property that was allegedly owned or operated by the Xxxxxxx Group and any operating group, business unit, division, Subsidiary, line of business or investment of Xxxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries (including any member of the Envista Group) prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, the impact that any alleged Environmental Liability could have on the operations, activities or liability exposure of the requesting party; and (iii) the information and access to employees can be provided without significant disruption to the Group’s business or operations.

(b) Substitution.

(i) Envista shall use its best efforts to obtain any consents, transfers, assignments, assumptions, waivers, or other legal instruments necessary to cause Envista or the appropriate Subsidiary of Envista to be fully substituted for Xxxxxxx or other member of the Xxxxxxx Group with respect to: (i) any order, decree, judgment, agreement or Action with respect to Envista Environmental Liabilities that are in effect as of the Effective Time; or (ii) Environmental Permits, financial assurance obligations or instruments, or other environmental approvals or filings associated with the Envista Assets. Envista shall inform the applicable Governmental Entity about its assumption of the Environmental Liabilities associated with the matters listed on Section 5.10(b) and request that the Governmental Entities direct all communications, requirements, notifications and/or official letters related to such matters to Envista. Xxxxxxx shall use its best efforts to provide necessary assistance or signatures to Envista to achieve the purposes of this section.

(ii) Until such time as Envista and Xxxxxxx complete the substitutions outlined in Section 5.10(b)(i) above, Envista shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, including all reporting obligations, and the terms and conditions of all orders, decrees, judgments, agreements, actions, Environmental Permits, financial assurances, obligations, instruments or other environmental approvals or filings that remain in Xxxxxxx’x name relating to the Envista Assets and the Envista Environmental Liabilities.

CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVILEGE

Section 6.1 Preservation of Corporate Records. Except as otherwise required or agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, with regard to any Information referenced in Section 6.2, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at such Party’s sole cost and expense, to retain, until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the date on which such Information is no longer required to be retained pursuant to the applicable record retention policy of Xxxxxxx or such other member of the Xxxxxxx Group, respectively, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, pursuant to any “Litigation Hold” issued by Xxxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the concluding date of any period as may be required by any applicable Law, (iii) the concluding date of any period during which such Information relates to a pending or threatened Action which is known to the members of the Xxxxxxx Group or the Envista Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire, and (iv) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Information could interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Entity which is known to the members of the Xxxxxxx Group or the Envista Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire; provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Effective Time, clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the Xxxxxxx Group or the Envista Group, as applicable, is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “Litigation Hold” by the other Party of the relevant pending or threatened Action. The Parties agree that upon written request from the other that certain Information relating to the Envista Business, the Xxxxxxx Retained Businesses or the transactions contemplated hereby be retained in connection with an Action, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting Party.

Section 6.2 Access to Information.

(a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreements, each of Xxxxxxx and Envista shall hold, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and their officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence (and not to disclose or release or, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, use, including for any ongoing or future commercial purpose, without the prior written consent of the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates (which may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, except where disclosure is required by applicable Law)), any and all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to the other Party or its Affiliates; provided that each Party may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to its respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Information for auditing and other non-commercial purposes and are informed of the obligation to hold such Information confidential and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if any Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries is required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule or is advised by outside counsel in connection with a proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity that it is advisable to do so, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against the other Party or in respect of claims by one Party against the other Party brought in a proceeding, (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements in connection with any regulatory filings or Tax Returns, (v) as necessary for a Party to enforce its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.3) or an Ancillary Agreement, (vi) to Governmental Entities in accordance with applicable procurement regulations and contract requirements or (vii) to other Persons in connection with their evaluation of, and negotiating and consummating, a potential strategic transaction, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection therewith, provided an appropriate and customary confidentiality agreement has been entered into with the Person receiving such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a third party pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permissible by Law) the Party to whom the

Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such affected Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Party will cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party which faces the disclosure requirement shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Confidential Information.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary Information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party while such Party and/or members of its Group were part of the Xxxxxxx Group.

Section 6.6 Privilege Matters.

(a) Pre-IPO Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered

for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Xxxxxxx Group and the Envista Group, and that each of the members of the Xxxxxxx Group and the Envista Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-IPO services for the purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities, or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Law, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege, and protection under the work-product doctrine (“Privilege”). The Parties shall have a shared Privilege with respect to all Information subject to Privilege (“Privileged Information”) which relates to such pre-IPO services. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 6.6 includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Party (or any member of such Party’s respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel.

(b) Post-IPO Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time to each of Xxxxxxx and Envista. The Parties further recognize that certain of such post-IPO services will be rendered solely for the benefit of Xxxxxxx or Envista, as the case may be, while other such post-IPO services may be rendered with respect to claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both Xxxxxxx and Envista. With respect to such post-IPO services and related Privileged Information, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) All Privileged Information relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters which involve both Xxxxxxx and Envista shall be subject to a shared Privilege among the Parties involved in the claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters at issue; and

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6(b)(i), Privileged Information relating to post-IPO services provided solely to one of Xxxxxxx or Envista shall not be deemed shared between the Parties, provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict the right or authority of the Parties (x) to enter into any further agreement, not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, concerning the sharing of Privileged Information or (y) otherwise to share Privileged Information without waiving any Privilege which could be asserted under applicable Law.

(c) The Parties agree as follows regarding all Privileged Information with respect to which the Parties shall have a shared Privilege under Section 6.6(a) or (b):

(i) Subject to Section 6.6(c)(iii) and (iv), Envista may not waive, allege or purport to waive, any Privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which Xxxxxxx has a shared Privilege, without the consent of Xxxxxxx, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within fifteen (15) days after written notice by Envista to Xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxx shall be entitled, in its sole discretion to waive, allege or purport to waive, any Privilege in connection with any Privileged Information, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Xxxxxxx Group or any member of the Envista Group;

(ii) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a Privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, and shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party. Xxxxxxx shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by Envista and specifically agrees that it shall not withhold consent to waive for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests;

(iii) If, within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Envista of written objection, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution to any dispute regarding whether a Privilege should be waived, and Envista determines that a Privilege should nonetheless be waived to protect or advance its interest, Envista shall provide Xxxxxxx fifteen (15) days written notice prior to effecting such waiver. Each Party specifically agrees that failure within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice to commence proceedings in accordance with Section 8.2 to enjoin such disclosure under applicable Law shall be

deemed full and effective consent to such disclosure, and any such Privilege shall not be waived by Envista under the final determination of such dispute in accordance with Section 8.2; and

(iv) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a Privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with respect to third parties.

(d) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Xxxxxxx or Envista as set forth in Section 6.5 and this Section 6.6, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Section 5.5, Section 6.1, Section 6.2 and Article VII, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 5.5 and Section 6.3, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 5.5, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 6.7 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to any Party with respect to any such Information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

(b) Both Parties shall cooperate to ensure that their Processing of Personal Data hereunder does and will comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws and take all reasonable precautions to avoid acts that place the other Party in breach of its obligations under any applicable Data Protection Laws. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall be deemed to prevent any Party from taking the steps it reasonably deems necessary to comply with any applicable Data Protection Laws.

Section 6.9 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

(b)Audit Timing. Beginning with the 2019 fiscal year, Envista will use its best efforts to enable Envista Auditors to complete their audit for the 2019 fiscal year such that they will date their opinion on the Annual Financial Statements on the same date that Xxxxxxx’x independent certified public accountants (“Xxxxxxx Auditors”) date their opinion on the Xxxxxxx Annual Statements, and to enable Xxxxxxx to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Xxxxxxx Annual Statements, all in accordance with Section 7.1(a) hereof and as required by applicable Law.

(c)Quarterly Review. Beginning in the 2019 fiscal year, Envista shall use its best efforts to enable Xxxxxxx Auditors to complete their quarterly review procedures on the Quarterly Financial Statements on the same date that Xxxxxxx Auditors complete their quarterly review procedures on Xxxxxxx’x quarterly financial statements.

(e)Access to Envista Auditors. Envista will authorize Envista Auditors to make available to the Xxxxxxx Auditors both the personnel who performed, or are performing, the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Envista and work papers related to the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Envista, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to Envista Auditors’ opinion date, so that the Xxxxxxx Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of Envista Auditors as it relates to the Xxxxxxx Auditors’ report on Xxxxxxx’x statements, all within sufficient time to enable Xxxxxxx to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Xxxxxxx Annual Statements.

(f)Access to Records. Envista will provide Xxxxxxx Auditors and Xxxxxxx’x other Representatives, including Xxxxxxx’x internal auditors, with access to the Envista Group’s books and records so that Xxxxxxx may conduct audits relating to the financial statements provided by Envista under this Agreement as well as to the internal accounting controls and operations of the Envista Group.

(g)Operating Review Process. Envista shall conduct its strategic and operational review process on a schedule that is consistent with that of Xxxxxxx’x. As a supplement to the information furnished by Envista to Xxxxxxx pursuant to Section 7.1, Envista shall allow Xxxxxxx to conduct its strategic and operational reviews of Envista through participation in meetings or other activities of the Envista Board by the Xxxxxxx Designees or otherwise as requested by Xxxxxxx outside of such meetings or other activities of the Envista Board. To facilitate Xxxxxxx’x participation in the process in this manner, Envista shall hold all of its regularly scheduled board meetings at which its strategic and operational reviews are discussed within a time frame consistent with Xxxxxxx’x strategic and operational

review process. Envista shall also allow Xxxxxxx to conduct all other reviews of Envista’s operations, affairs, finances or results (other than those required to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements or its customary financial reporting practices) through participation in meetings or other activities of the Envista Board by the Xxxxxxx Designees or otherwise as requested by Xxxxxxx outside of such meetings or other activities of the Envista Board. In connection with strategic, operational or other reviews, relevant Danaher personnel other than the Xxxxxxx Designees may participate at Xxxxxxx’x invitation. Xxxxxxx will notify Envista in advance of any such additional attendees.

(h)Notice of Changes. Envista will give Xxxxxxx as much prior notice as reasonably practicable of any proposed determination of, or any significant changes in, Envista’s accounting estimates or accounting principles from those in effect on the Effective Date. Envista will consult with Xxxxxxx and, if requested by Danaher, Envista will consult with the Danaher Auditors with respect thereto. Envista will not make any such determination or changes without Xxxxxxx’x prior written consent if such a determination or a change would be sufficiently material to be required to be disclosed in Envista’s or Xxxxxxx’x financial statements as filed with the Commission or otherwise publicly disclosed therein.

(i)Accounting Changes Requested by Xxxxxxx. Notwithstanding clause (h) above, Envista will make any changes in its accounting practices or accounting principles, including any changes in the interpretation or application of GAAP, that are requested by Xxxxxxx in order for Envista’s accounting practices and principles to be consistent with those of Xxxxxxx.

(j)Special Reports of Deficiencies or Violations. Envista will report in reasonable detail to Xxxxxxx the following events or circumstances promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) after any executive officer of Envista or any member of the Envista Board becomes aware of such matter: (A) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Envista’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Envista’s internal controls over financial reporting; (C) any illegal act within the meaning of Section 10A(b) and (f) of the Exchange Act; and (D) any other material violation of Law (including any violation of law that an attorney representing any member of the Envista Group has formally reported to any officers or directors of Envista pursuant to the Commission’s attorney conduct rules (17 C.F.R. Part 205)).

Section 7.3 Envista Board Representation.

(a)Following the Effective Date, and for so long as the Xxxxxxx Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, Xxxxxxx shall have the right to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board (each person so designated, a “Xxxxxxx Designee”) a majority of the members of the Envista Board and the right to designate the Chairman of the Board. For so long as the Xxxxxxx Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, Xxxxxxx shall have the right to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board a proportionate number of Danaher Designees to the Envista Board, as calculated in accordance with Section 7.3(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Envista’s obligations with respect to the election or appointment of Xxxxxxx Designees (i) shall be limited to the obligations set forth under this Section 7.3 and (ii) shall be further limited by Envista’s compliance with Law and any applicable Commission or stock exchange director independence requirements (giving effect to any “controlled company” exemption applicable thereto), provided that Envista otherwise exercises best efforts to comply therewith.

(b)For so long as the Xxxxxxx Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, Envista shall take advantage of all available “controlled company” exemptions under the rules of the stock exchange on which Envista’s shares are listed, including exemptions from compliance with certain corporate governance requirements relating to director independence. Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders of Envista to be held in 2020 and prior to each annual meeting of stockholders of Envista thereafter, Xxxxxxx shall be entitled to present to the Envista Board or any nominating committee thereof for nomination thereby such number of Xxxxxxx Designees for election to the Envista Board (or if there is a classified board, the class of directors up for election) at such annual meeting as would result in Xxxxxxx having the appropriate number of Xxxxxxx Designees on the Envista Board as determined pursuant to this Section 7.3.

(c)Envista shall at all such times exercise all authority under applicable Law and cause all such Xxxxxxx Designees to be nominated for election as members of the Envista Board by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof). Envista shall cause each Xxxxxxx Designee for election to the Envista Board to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Envista Board to holders of Envista Common Stock (including at any special meeting of stockholders held for the election of directors) and shall use best efforts to cause the election of each such Xxxxxxx Designee, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such persons. In the event that any Danaher Designee elected to the Envista Board shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the vacancy resulting therefrom shall be filled by the Envista Board with a substitute Xxxxxxx Designee. In the event that as a result of any increase in the size of the Envista Board, Xxxxxxx is entitled to have one or more additional Xxxxxxx Designees elected to the Envista Board pursuant to this Section 7.3, the Envista Board shall appoint the appropriate number of such additional Xxxxxxx Designees.

(d)If at any time the Xxxxxxx Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, the number of persons Xxxxxxx shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board shall be equal to the number of directors computed using the following formula (rounded to the nearest whole number): the product of (i) the percentage of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock Beneficially Owned by the Xxxxxxx Group and (ii) the number of directors then on the Envista Board (assuming no vacancies exist). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence would result in Xxxxxxx being entitled to elect a majority of the members of the Envista Board solely as a result of rounding, the formula will be recalculated with the product being rounded down to the nearest whole number; provided, however, that if the Xxxxxxx Group, at any time, acquires additional shares of Envista Common Stock so that the Xxxxxxx Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, then the number of persons Xxxxxxx shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board shall be adjusted upward, if appropriate as a result of rounding, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.3(d). If the number of Danaher Designees serving on the Envista Board exceeds the number determined pursuant to the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.3(d) (such difference being herein called the “Excess Director Number”), then Xxxxxxx in its sole discretion shall instruct such Xxxxxxx Designees (the number of which designees shall be equal to the Excess Director Number) to promptly resign from the Envista Board, and, to the extent such persons do not so resign, Xxxxxxx shall assist Envista in increasing the size of the Envista Board, so that after giving effect to such increase, the number of Danaher Designees on the Envista Board is in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.3(d).

(e)The Parties agree that the Envista Board shall consist of three classes of directors at the Effective Time, which shall include three (3) Xxxxxxx Designees in Class I and two (2) Xxxxxxx Designee in Class III, as set forth in the IPO Registration Statement.

Section 7.4 Committees. As of the Effective Date and for so long as the Xxxxxxx Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, any committee of the Envista Board shall, unless Xxxxxxx consents otherwise, be composed of directors at least a majority of which are Danaher Designees; provided that the Xxxxxxx Designees on any committee of the Envista Board shall comply with the applicable director independence requirements under applicable Law, after taking into account all available “controlled company” exemptions under the rules of the stock exchange on which Envista’s shares are listed. As of the Effective Date and for so long as the Xxxxxxx Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, each committee of the Envista Board shall, unless Xxxxxxx consents otherwise, include at least one Xxxxxxx Designee; provided that the Xxxxxxx Designees on any committee of the Envista Board shall comply with the applicable director independence requirements under applicable Law.

Section 7.5 Other Covenants. In addition to the other covenants contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, Envista hereby covenants and agrees that, for so long as Xxxxxxx Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors:

(a) Envista will not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx, take, or cause to be taken, directly or indirectly, any action, including making or failing to make any election under the Law of any state, which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of restricting or limiting the ability of Xxxxxxx to freely sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of Envista Common Stock or would restrict or limit the rights of any transferee of Xxxxxxx as a holder of Envista Common Stock. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Envista will not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx, (i) adopt or thereafter amend, supplement, restate, modify or alter any stockholder rights plan in any manner that would result in (A) an increase in the ownership of Envista Common Stock by Xxxxxxx causing the rights thereunder to detach or become exercisable and/or (B) Xxxxxxx and its transferees not being entitled to the same rights thereunder as other holders of Envista Common Stock or (ii) take any action, or take any action to recommend to its stockholders any action, which would among other things, limit the legal rights of, or deny any benefit to, Xxxxxxx as an Envista stockholder either (A) solely as a result of the amount of Envista Common Stock owned by Xxxxxxx or (B) in a manner not applicable to Envista stockholders generally.

(b) Except with respect to 961,778 shares of Envista Common Stock approved by the Envista Board (or a committee thereof) and its stockholders pursuant to the Envista 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 22,222 shares of Envista Common Stock approved by the Envista Board (or a committee thereof) and its stockholders pursuant to the Envista Deferred Compensation Plan, Envista will not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx, issue any Envista Securities; provided, that in no case shall any issuance (including any issuance of Envista Securities pursuant to the Envista 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan or the Envista Deferred Compensation Plan or any other benefit plans or arrangements approved by the Envista Board) result in Xxxxxxx owning directly or indirectly less than (i) a majority of the outstanding shares of Envista Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) or (ii) 80% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) with respect to the election of directors. Prior to the Disposition Date, Envista shall not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx issue any share of Envista Non-Voting Stock.

(c) To the extent that Xxxxxxx is a party to any Contracts that provide that certain actions or inactions of Xxxxxxx Affiliates (which for purposes of such Contract include any member of the Envista Group) may result in Xxxxxxx being in breach of or in default under such Contracts and Xxxxxxx has advised Envista of the existence, and has furnished Envista with copies, of such Contracts (or the relevant portions thereof), Envista will not take or fail to take, as applicable, and Envista will cause the other members of the Envista Group not to take or fail to take, as applicable, any actions that reasonably could result in Xxxxxxx being in breach of or in default under any such Contract. The Parties acknowledge

and agree that from time to time Xxxxxxx may in good faith enter into additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts that provide that certain actions or inactions of Xxxxxxx Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, for purposes of this Section 7.5(c), members of the Envista Group) may result in Xxxxxxx being in breach of or in default under such Contracts. In such event, provided Xxxxxxx has notified Envista of such additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts, Envista will not thereafter take or fail to take, as applicable, and Envista will cause the other members of the Envista Group not to take or fail to take, as applicable, any actions that reasonably could result in Xxxxxxx being in breach of or in default under any such additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts. Xxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that Envista will not be deemed in breach of this Section 7.5(c) to the extent that, prior to being notified by Xxxxxxx of an additional Contract or an amendment to an existing Contract pursuant to this Section 7.5(c), an Envista Group member already has taken or failed to take one or more actions that would otherwise constitute a breach of this Section 7.5(c) had such action(s) or inaction(s) occurred after such notification; provided that Envista does not, after notification by Xxxxxxx, take any further action or fail to take any action that contributes further to such breach or default. Envista agrees that any Information provided to it pursuant to this Section 7.5(c) will constitute Information that is subject to Envista’s obligations under Article VI.

(d) Without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx, no member of the Envista Group shall enter into any Contract that purports to bind or impose any obligations or Liabilities (including, without limitation, any non-competition, exclusivity, non-solicitation or similar obligations) on any member of the Xxxxxxx Group (or any director, officer or employee of any member of the Xxxxxxx Group).

(e) For the duration of the Transition Services Agreement (but only to the extent that the Services provided by Xxxxxxx under the Transition Services Agreement relate to making payments on Envista’s behalf, maintenance of books and records, or otherwise present, in Xxxxxxx’x judgment, a potential risk to Xxxxxxx under any applicable anti-corruption Law):

(i)Envista will, and will cause each other member of the Envista Group to, not take any action directly or indirectly to (A) offer or pay, or authorize the offer or payment of, any money or anything of value, or (B) accept any payment referred to in clause (A), in each case, in order to improperly or corruptly seek to influence any Government Official or any other person in order to gain an improper advantage;

(ii)Envista will, and will cause each other member of the Envista Group to, implement, maintain and enforce a compliance and ethics program in substance and form and effectiveness reasonably equivalent to Xxxxxxx’x compliance and ethics program, designed to prevent and detect violations of applicable anti-corruption Laws throughout its operations (including Subsidiaries) and the operations of its contractors and sub-contractors; and

(iii)Envista will, and will cause each other member of the Envista Group to, implement, maintain and enforce, a system of adequate internal accounting controls designed to ensure the making and keeping of fair and accurate books, records and accounts.

Section 7.6 Xxxxxxx Policies and Procedures. Prior to the Disposition Date and except as (a) otherwise agreed between the parties hereto from time to time, (b) set forth on Schedule 7.6 or (c) set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, Envista consistently will implement and maintain Xxxxxxx’x business practices and standards in accordance with the Xxxxxxx policies and procedures in effect as of the Effective Date, as they may be amended or supplemented by Xxxxxxx from time to time (and, in any such event, Xxxxxxx shall provide notice to Envista of any such amendment or supplement in accordance with Section 10.6). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Envista may apply materiality thresholds that are lower than those contained in any such Xxxxxxx policy and procedure. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.6 to the contrary, in circumstances where a provision of the Charter or the Bylaws or any Ancillary Agreement, on the one hand, and a Xxxxxxx policy applicable to Subsidiaries of Xxxxxxx, on the other hand, would each apply, the provision in the Charter or the Bylaws or the Ancillary Agreement shall

control with respect to Envista and its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that neither Xxxxxxx nor any member of the Xxxxxxx Group shall be subject to any policies or procedures implemented by Envista, including any policies, procedures or limitations (other than any applicable Laws) with respect to trading in Envista’s securities.

Section 7.7 Covenants Regarding the Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(a) Envista covenants and agrees that, from and after the Effective Date until the Disposition Date, Envista will not, and Envista will not permit any other member of the Envista Group to, without Xxxxxxx’x prior written consent, directly or indirectly, incur any Envista Debt Obligations other than pursuant to Envista Financing Arrangements and such other unsecured and uncommitted lines of credit made available to members of the Envista Group as of the Effective Date.

(b) In order to implement this Section 7.7, Envista will notify Xxxxxxx in writing as promptly as practicable following the time it or any other member of the Envista Group determines it wishes to incur any Envista Debt Obligations for which Xxxxxxx’x prior written consent is required.

Section 7.8 Applicability of Rights in the Event of an Acquisition of Envista. In the event Envista merges into, consolidates, sells substantially all of its assets to or otherwise becomes an Affiliate of a Person (other than Xxxxxxx), pursuant to a transaction or series of related transactions in which Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group receives equity securities of such Person (or of any Affiliate of such Person) in exchange for Envista Common Stock held by Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group, all of the rights of Xxxxxxx set forth in this Article VII shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to the Person the equity securities of which are received by Xxxxxxx pursuant to such transaction or series of related transactions (it being understood that all other provisions of this Agreement will apply to Envista notwithstanding this Section 7.8). Envista agrees that, without the consent of Xxxxxxx, it will not enter into any Contract which will have the effect set forth in the first clause of the preceding sentence, unless such Person agrees to be bound by the foregoing provision.

Section 7.9 Transfer of Xxxxxxx’x Rights Under Article VII. Xxxxxxx may transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Article VII to a transferee of any Envista Common Stock from any member of the Xxxxxxx Group (a “Xxxxxxx Transferee”) holding at least 10% of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of Envista Common Stock. Xxxxxxx shall give written notice to Envista of its transfer of rights under this Article VII no later than thirty (30) days after Xxxxxxx enters into a binding agreement for such transfer of rights. Such notice shall state the name and address of the Xxxxxxx Transferee and identify the amount of Envista Common Stock transferred and the scope of rights being transferred under this Article VII. In connection with any such transfer, the term “Xxxxxxx” as used in this Article VII shall, where appropriate to give effect to the assignment of rights and obligations hereunder to such Xxxxxxx Transferee, be deemed to refer to such Xxxxxxx Transferee. Xxxxxxx and any Xxxxxxx Transferee may exercise the rights under this Article VII in such priority, as among themselves, as they shall agree upon among themselves, and Envista shall observe any such agreement of which it shall have notice as provided above.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 8.1 Negotiation. In the event of a controversy, dispute or Action arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Action based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (collectively, “Disputes”), the general counsels of the Parties (or such other individuals designated by the respective general counsels) and/or the executive officers designated by the Parties shall negotiate for a reasonable period of time to settle such Dispute; provided, that such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, exceed sixty (60) days (the “Negotiation Period”) from the time of receipt by a Party of written notice of such Dispute (“Dispute Notice”) and settlement of such Dispute pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be confidential, and no written or oral statements or offers made by the Parties during such settlement negotiations shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings, including any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8.2; provided further, that in the event of any arbitration in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof, the Parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations and laches arising during the period beginning after the date of receipt of the Dispute Notice, and any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which such Dispute relates occurring after the Dispute Notice is received shall not be deemed to have passed until such Dispute has been resolved.

Section 8.2 Arbitration. If the Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after the Negotiation Period, such Dispute shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.

(a)The arbitration shall be conducted by a three-member arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). The claimant shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules, and the respondent shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules within twenty-one days (21) after the appointment of the first arbitrator. The third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the Arbitral Tribunal, shall be jointly nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators within twenty-one (21) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the Rules.

(b)The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in New York, New York, in the English language.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, by submitting their dispute to arbitration under the Rules, the Parties expressly agree that all issues of arbitrability, including all issues concerning the propriety and timeliness of the commencement of the arbitration (including any defense based on a statute of limitation, if applicable), the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal, and the procedural conditions for arbitration, shall be finally and solely determined by the Arbitral Tribunal.

(d)Without derogating from Section 8.2(e) below, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the full authority to grant any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, interim or conservatory measure or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings (“Interim Relief”). The Parties shall exclusively submit any application for Interim Relief to only: (A) the Arbitral Tribunal; or (B) prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal, an Emergency Arbitrator appointed in the manner provided for in the Rules. Any Interim Relief so issued shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed a final arbitration award for purposes of enforceability, and, moreover, shall also be deemed a term and condition of this Agreement subject to specific performance in Section 8.3 below. The foregoing procedures shall constitute the exclusive means of seeking Interim Relief, provided, however, that (i) the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to continue, review, vacate or modify any Interim Relief granted by an Emergency

Arbitrator; (ii) in the event an Emergency Arbitrator or the Arbitral Tribunal issues an order granting, denying or otherwise addressing Interim Relief (a “Decision on Interim Relief”), any Party may apply to enforce or require specific performance of such Decision on Interim Relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and (iii) either Party shall retain the right to apply for freezing orders to prevent the improper dissipation of transfer of assets to a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that it deems just and equitable and that is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including specific performance and temporary or final injunctive relief, provided, however, that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, nor any right or power to award punitive, exemplary or treble damages.

(f)The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to allocate the costs and fees of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as well as those costs and fees addressed in the Rules, between the Parties in the manner it deems fit.

(g)Arbitration under this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Dispute, and any award rendered thereby shall be final and binding upon the Parties as from the date rendered. Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its Assets.

Section 8.3 Specific Performance. From and after the Effective Date, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party or Parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII (including for the avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that, from and after the Effective Date, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Indemnifiable Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 8.4 Treatment of Arbitration. The Parties agree that any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential, and that the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall be deemed confidential, and shall not be disclosed beyond the Arbitral Tribunal, the Parties, their counsel, and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as and to the extent required by law and to defend or pursue any legal right. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Section 8.4 (including any proceedings to enforce a final award or any Interim Relief), that party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application, and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal or Emergency Arbitrator) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any third party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.

Section 8.5 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 8.6 Consolidation. The arbitrator may consolidate an arbitration under this Agreement with any arbitration arising under or relating to the Ancillary Agreements or any other

agreement between the Parties entered into pursuant hereto, as the case may be, if the subject of the Disputes thereunder arises out of or relates essentially to the same set of facts or transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.

ARTICLE IX

INSURANCE

Section 9.1 Insurance Matters.

(a)Envista acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Effective Time, neither Envista nor any member of the Envista Group shall have any rights to or under any Policies of Xxxxxxx, including the Company Policies, other than (x) any insurance policies acquired prior to the Effective Time directly by and in the name of Envista or a member of the Envista Group and that provide coverage solely for one or more members of the Envista Group, or (y) as expressly provided in Section 5.7 or this Article IX.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a), from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liability accrued and/or incurred by Envista or its predecessors prior to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx may, at its sole discretion, provide Envista with access to, and, if and to the extent determined by Xxxxxxx in its discretion, Envista and Xxxxxxx may jointly make claims under, the Company Policies if and solely to the extent that the terms of such policies provide for such coverage to Envista or its predecessors with respect to any Envista Liabilities accrued and/or incurred prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and subject to the following additional conditions:

(i)Envista shall inform Xxxxxxx of any potential claim under any of the Company Policies with regard to any Envista Liability and Xxxxxxx shall determine whether and at what time to report any such claims under such Company Policies directly to the applicable insurance company, and to submit a claim for coverage thereunder, and Xxxxxxx shall provide a copy of all such claim reports and submissions to Envista; provided, that with respect to any such claims, Envista shall provide Xxxxxxx with the information regarding the claims and provide recommendations with regard to the reporting and submission of such claims, and Xxxxxxx shall consult with Envista with regard to the timing thereof;

(ii)If and to the extent that Envista is the sole entity recovering insurance proceeds under one or more of the Company Policies in respect of a particular claim for coverage, Envista shall exclusively bear and be responsible for (and Xxxxxxx shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse Envista for) and pay the applicable insurers as required under the applicable Company Policies for any and all costs as a result of having access to, or making claims under, such Policies, including any amounts of deductibles and self-insured retention associated with such claims, claim handling and administrative costs, collateral requirements and costs, Taxes, surcharges, additional premiums, state assessments, reinsurance costs, and other related costs, relating to all open, closed or re-opened claims covered by the applicable Policies, whether such claims are made by Envista, its employees or third parties, and Envista shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Xxxxxxx for any such amounts incurred by Xxxxxxx to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by Envista under, any Company Policies provided pursuant to this Section 9.1. If Xxxxxxx and Envista jointly make a claim for coverage under the Company Policies for amounts that have been or may in the future be incurred partially by Xxxxxxx and partially by Envista, at the sole discretion of Xxxxxxx, any insurance recovery resulting therefrom may first be allocated to reimburse Xxxxxxx and/or Envista for their respective costs, legal and consulting fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in pursuing such insurance recovery, with the remaining net proceeds from the insurance recovery to be allocated as between Xxxxxxx and Envista in a manner at the sole discretion of Xxxxxxx at or near the time of such recovery;

(iii)Envista shall exclusively bear (and Xxxxxxx shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse Envista for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts, incurred from and after the Effective Time, of all such claims pursued by Envista under the Company Policies as provided for in this Section 9.1(b); and

(iv)in connection with making any joint claim under any Company Policies pursuant to this Section 9.1(b), Xxxxxxx shall control the administration of all such claims, including the timing of any assertion and pursuit of coverage, and Envista shall not take any action that would be reasonably likely to: (A) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Xxxxxxx and the applicable insurance company; (B) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage to Xxxxxxx or Envista, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Xxxxxxx under the applicable Company Policies; (C) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Xxxxxxx under the applicable Company Policies or (D) otherwise compromise or impair Xxxxxxx’x ability to enforce its rights with respect to any indemnification under or arising out of this Agreement, and Xxxxxxx shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cause Envista to desist from any action that Xxxxxxx determines, in its sole discretion, would compromise or impair Xxxxxxx’x rights in accordance with this clause (D).

At all times, Xxxxxxx and Envista shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5, cooperate with reasonable requests for information by the other Party or the insurance companies regarding any such insurance policy claim.

(c)Notwithstanding Section 9.1(b), from and after the Effective Time, any director or officer of Envista or any member of the Envista Group who served as a director or officer of Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to pursue coverage under the director and officer liability insurance policies maintained by Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group to the extent that such policies provide coverage for such director’s or officer’s acts and omissions in his or her respective capacity as director or officer of Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of such policies (including but not limited to any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles or retention amounts and other fees and expenses).

(d)Any payments, costs and adjustments required pursuant to Section 9.1(b) shall at Xxxxxxx’x election either be billed by Xxxxxxx to Envista on a monthly basis and Envista shall pay such billed payments, costs and adjustments to Xxxxxxx within sixty (60) days from receipt of invoice, or billed directly by the applicable third party to Envista. If Xxxxxxx incurs costs to enforce Envista’s obligations under this Section 9.1, Envista agrees to indemnify Xxxxxxx for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, neither Envista nor any member of the Envista Group shall have any rights or claims against or with respect to any self-insurance or captive insurance company arrangement of Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group. In addition, as of the Effective Time, Envista, for itself and each member of the Envista Groups does hereby remise, release and forever discharge Xxxxxxx and the other members of the Xxxxxxx Group of any rights or claims against or with respect to any self-insurance or captive insurance company arrangement of Xxxxxxx or any member of the Xxxxxxx Group.

(f)At the Effective Time, Envista shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with Envista’s statutory obligations.

(g)This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance in its entirety, nor is it considered to be itself a contract of insurance, and further this Agreement shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of Xxxxxxx under or with respect to any of the Company Policies and programs or any other contract or policy of insurance, and Xxxxxxx reserves all of its rights under such Policies.

(h)Xxxxxxx shall not be liable to Envista for claims not reimbursed by insurers for any reason not within the control of Xxxxxxx, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, exhaustion of aggregates, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance

carrier, Company Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by Xxxxxxx or any defect in such claim or its processing.

(i)In the event that Insured Claims of more than one Party exist relating to the same occurrence, the relevant Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. Nothing in this Section 9.1(i) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those obligations under Article V, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(j)In the event of any Action by any Party (or both of the Parties) to recover or obtain insurance proceeds, or to defend against any Action by an insurance carrier to deny any Policy benefits, both Parties may join in any such Action and be represented by joint counsel and both Parties shall waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to conduct any such Action. Nothing in this Section 9.1(j) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created under Article V of this Agreement or otherwise, by operation of Law, or otherwise.

(k)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.1, to the extent Xxxxxxx has entered into or agrees to enter into, whether on its own or with respect to the any arrangement provided for under this Section 9.1, any settlement agreement or other arrangement with any insurance provider regarding coverage under any Company Policy that provides for any limitation of coverage or release of such insurance provider with regard to any coverage thereunder, whether in whole or in part (collectively, the “Released Insurance Matters”), Envista agrees that it shall (i) abide by the terms of and, to the extent required, consent to, any such settlement or arrangement relating to the Released Insurance Matters as a condition to receiving any coverage under any Company Policy related thereto, (ii) have no rights to any such coverage under the Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters and (iii) make no claims under any Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters.

(l)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.1, from and after the Effective Time, Envista shall maintain the insurance policies set forth in Schedule 9.1(l).

Section 9.2 Certain Matters Relating to Xxxxxxx’x Organizational Documents. From the Effective Time until six (6) years from the Disposition Date, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Envista shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification of directors and officers than those set forth in the Charter or Bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for such period in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were indemnified under the Charter or Bylaws, unless such amendment, repeal, or other modification shall be required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law or approved by Envista’s stockholders.

Section 9.3 Indemnitor of First Resort. As a result of agreements or obligations arising outside of this Agreement, certain of the directors and officers of Envista and its Subsidiaries designated by Xxxxxxx or its Affiliates (the “Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitees”) have or will have rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Xxxxxxx or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Xxxxxxx Indemnitors”) in connection with their service as directors or officers of Envista or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any such rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by any Xxxxxxx Indemnitor, (a) Envista is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., Envista’s obligations to the Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitees are primary, and any obligation of the Xxxxxxx Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitee are secondary), (b) Envista shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitees and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, any other agreement between Envista and the Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitees or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Envista and (c) Envista hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each of the Xxxxxxx Indemnitors from any and all

claims against any of the Xxxxxxx Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. In addition, notwithstanding any advancement or payment by the Xxxxxxx Indemnitors to or on behalf of any Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which a Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitee has sought or may seek indemnification from Envista, (i) Envista’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected, (ii) the Xxxxxxx Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitee, as applicable, against Envista, and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, all damages, costs, losses and other Liabilities incurred by any Xxxxxxx D&O Indemnitee in connection with his or her service as a director or officer of Envista or any of its Subsidiaries shall constitute Envista Liabilities.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any Schedule hereto, the Schedule shall prevail. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of (a) this Agreement and the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement shall control (except with respect to any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, in which case this Agreement shall control) and (b) this Agreement and any agreement which is not an Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments are intended to be ministerial in nature and only to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the applicable local jurisdiction and shall not expand or modify the rights and obligations of the Parties or their Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements that are not Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement: (i) all matters relating to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement; and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, on the one hand, and the Tax Matters Agreement, on the other hand, with respect to such matters, the terms and conditions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern.

Section 10.8 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be assignable to (i) with respect to Xxxxxxx, an Affiliate of Xxxxxxx, or (ii) a bona fide third party in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of a party hereto so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations of the relevant party hereto by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party to this

Section 10.9 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights hereunder shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.11 Payment Terms.

(a) Except as set forth in Article V or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount to be paid or reimbursed by a Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, to the other Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the other hand, under this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder within sixty (60) days after presentation of an invoice or a written demand therefor and setting forth, or accompanied by, reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such amount.

(b) Except as set forth in Article V or as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amount billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that is not paid within sixty (60) days of such xxxx, invoice or other demand) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, from time to time in effect, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment.

(c) Without the consent of the Party receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by either Xxxxxxx or Envista under this Agreement shall be made in US Dollars. Except as expressly provided herein, any amount which is not expressed in US Dollars shall be converted into US Dollars by using the exchange rate published on Bloomberg at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard time (EST) on the day before the relevant date or in the Wall Street Journal on such date if not so published on Bloomberg. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event that any indemnification payment required to be made hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement may be denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, the amount of such payment shall be converted into US Dollars on the date in which notice of the claim is given to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 10.12 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party at and after the Effective Time, to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of the applicable Party.

Section 10.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) as provided in Article V relating to Indemnitees and for the release under Section 5.1 of any Person provided therein and (ii) as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 10.14 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.15 Exhibits and Schedules.

(a) The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibits or Schedules constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Xxxxxxx Group or the Envista Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member of the Xxxxxxx Group or the Envista Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibit or Schedule is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

(b) Subject to the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Party shall be entitled to update the Schedules from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time.

Section 10.16 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Section 10.17 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.18 Public Announcements. From and after the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx and Envista shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, that portion of any press release or other public statements that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange; (b) for disclosures made that are substantially consistent with disclosure contained in any IPO Disclosure Document; or (c) as may pertain to disputes between one Party or any member of its Group, on one hand, and the other Party or any member of its Group, on the other hand.

Section 10.19 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 10.20 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to the rights, entitlements, obligations and recoveries that may arise out of one or more of the following Sections: Section 5.2; Section 5.3; and Section 5.4).

Section 10.21 Tax Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement or otherwise agreed to among the Parties, for U.S. federal Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 10.11) by: (i) Envista to Xxxxxxx shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Envista to Xxxxxxx with respect to stock of Envista occurring on or immediately before the Effective Date; or (ii) Xxxxxxx to Envista shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution by Xxxxxxx to Envista with respect to its stock occurring on or immediately before the Effective Date; and in each case, no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest

such challenge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxxx shall notify Envista if it determines that any payment made pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated, for any Tax purposes, as a payment made by one Party acting as an agent of one of such Party’s Subsidiaries to the other Party acting as an agent of one of such other Party’s Subsidiaries, and the Parties agree to treat any such payment accordingly.

Section 10.22 No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 10.23 No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between Xxxxxxx and Envista and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any third party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of Xxxxxxx or Envista.

Section 10.24 Advisors. It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the Parties that Xxxxxxx, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Xxxxxxx Group, has retained each of the Persons identified on Schedule 10.24 to act as counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the IPO and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that the Persons listed on Schedule 10.24 have not acted as counsel for Envista or any other member of the Envista Group in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the IPO and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that none of Envista or any member of the Envista Group has the status of a client of the Persons listed on Schedule 10.24 for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Envista hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Envista Group that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the IPO and/or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby between Xxxxxxx and Envista or any of the members of their respective Groups, each of the Persons listed on Schedule 10.24 may represent any or all of the members of the Xxxxxxx Group in such dispute even though the interests of the Xxxxxxx Group may be directly adverse to those of the Envista Group. Envista further agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Envista Group that, with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the IPO and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Xxxxxxx or the applicable member of the Xxxxxxx Group and may be controlled by Xxxxxxx or such member of the Xxxxxxx Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Envista or any member of the Envista Group. Without limiting the foregoing, Envista acknowledges and agrees that each of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, XXX, XxxxxxXxxx, XXX Piper and Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP is representing Xxxxxxx, and not Envista, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.25 Plan of Reorganization. This Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.368-2(g).
