(c) As partial security against any claims by Purchaser for any Environmental Losses, at the Closing, Purchaser shall deposit the Special Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

Subject to Sections 3.2(c)(i) and 11.6, promptly following the expiration of the Special Escrow Period, Purchaser and Sellers shall execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to deliver the Special Escrow Funds to Sellers.

(i) In the event, prior to Closing, with respect to any environmental conditions referenced in the Phase II report identified in Section 5.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, Sellers deliver to Purchaser (A) a “comfort letter” addressed to Purchaser from the applicable Colorado Governmental Authority or a no further action letter addressed to the landlord for the Leased Premises (or similar documentation) as a result of enrolling the Leased Premises in Colorado’s Voluntary Cleanup Program (each a “Regulatory Letter”), either of which may be conditioned upon (1) no changes in conditions, laws or property uses, (2) no new contamination caused by Purchaser, (3) a reservation of the Colorado Governmental Authority’s authority should new information come to light, and (4) no submission of materially misleading information to the Colorado Governmental Authority (the parties acknowledge and agree that the conditions in (1), (2), (3) and (4) shall not be a basis for Purchaser or its counsel to deem any Regulatory Letter not reasonably satisfactory), and/or (B) a written acknowledgement from the landlord for the Leased Premises that Purchaser is not responsible for the contamination that is existing as of the Closing Date on the Leased Premises (“Landlord Acknowledgement”), in either case in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, it being agreed by the parties that Purchaser shall provide written notice to Sellers indicating whether the Regulatory Letter or Landlord Acknowledgement or both, as applicable, is or are reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel within twenty-one (21) days after Purchaser’s receipt of such Regulatory Letter or Landlord Acknowledgement or both, as applicable. In the event Purchaser has provided Sellers with written notice within such period indicating that such Regulatory Letter or Landlord Acknowledgement or both, as applicable, is or are reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, or has failed to notify Sellers of Purchaser’s determination within such period, the Special Escrow Amount shall be reduced as follows and the definition of Special Escrow Amount shall be deemed amended accordingly: (1) by [ …***…] Dollars ($[…***…]), if Sellers deliver to Purchaser either the Regulatory Letter or the Landlord Acknowledgement, or (2) by […***…] Dollars ($[…***…]), if Sellers deliver to Purchaser both a Regulatory Letter and a Landlord Acknowledgement. The parties acknowledge and agree that if Sellers satisfy the foregoing condition in subsection (2), no Special Escrow Amount shall be deducted from the Initial Purchase Price at Closing or be required hereunder. Prior to Sellers’ submission to the applicable Colorado Governmental Authority of any information regarding the environmental condition of the Leased Premises, including any application or request for a Regulatory Letter, Sellers shall provide to Purchaser, for Purchaser’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, a copy of such information, application or request; provided, further, that upon Sellers’ receipt of such written approval, or, if Purchaser has not provided Sellers with either a written approval or

***Confidential Treatment Requested

-12-

objection to such information, application or request within fifteen (15) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of such information, application or request, Sellers may proceed with their submission to the applicable Colorado Governmental Authority, and if a written objection is delivered to Sellers within such period, Sellers and Purchaser agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection as soon as practicable. Sellers shall further afford Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to participate in any telephone call or meeting with such Colorado Governmental Authority arising out of any such submission, application or request.

(ii) During the term of the Special Escrow Period, Purchaser shall keep Sellers informed of any environmental matters relating to the Leased Premises and shall (A) provide Sellers a copy of any report, data or other information that might relate to any Environmental Liability within twenty-one (21) days after receipt by Purchaser, (B) allow Sellers an opportunity to review and comment on any work plan, report, or correspondence of Purchaser that might relate to any Environmental Liability prior to submission to any Governmental Authority, (C) provide Sellers a copy of any order, notice, request, correspondence or other document from any Governmental Authority that might relate to any Environmental Liability within twenty-one (21) days after receipt by Purchaser, (D) confer with Sellers with regard to any subsurface investigation, or any remediation or monitoring work to be undertaken by Purchaser that relates to any Environmental Liability, and (E) not (1) conduct any remediation or monitoring work that relates to any Environmental Liability or (2) report to any Governmental Authority any matter, item, condition or circumstance that relates to any Environmental Liability, unless such remediation or monitoring work or reporting, as applicable, is required by Law or the landlord for the Leased Premises.

(iii) In the event that, prior to the date of the expiration of the Special Escrow Period, the Seller Parties shall be obligated to pay any amounts due to Purchaser regarding any claims by Purchaser for Environmental Losses pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Agreement, then Purchaser and Sellers shall promptly execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to deliver such amounts to Purchaser from the Special Escrow Amount and the remaining balance of the Special Escrow Amount shall be retained in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.2, Section 11.6 and the Escrow Agreement. For the sake of clarity, if such amounts due to Purchaser regarding any claims by Purchaser for Environmental Losses exceed the Special Escrow Amount, Seller Parties shall be responsible for paying such excess amount to Purchaser pursuant to Sections 2.3(b)(vi) and 11.2(d) and such excess amount shall not be paid from the General Escrow Amount.

(iv) Interest on the Special Escrow Amount shall be paid to Purchaser and Sellers in the proportion of the Special Escrow Amount paid to them.

3.3. Earnout Payment.

(a) Amount of the Earnout Payment. Subject to the occurrence of the Closing, Sellers shall be eligible to receive a payment in an amount equal to up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Earnout Payment”). The amount of the Earnout Payment shall be calculated as follows: (i) if Actual Revenue is less than the Minimum Revenue Amount, then the Earnout Payment shall equal Zero Dollars ($0.00), (ii) if Actual Revenue equals or exceeds the Minimum Revenue Amount, but is less than the Maximum Revenue Amount, then the

-13-

Earnout Payment shall equal $[ …***…] multiplied by the difference between the Minimum Revenue Amount and Actual Revenue, or (iii) if Actual Revenue equals or exceeds the Maximum Revenue Amount, then the Earnout Payment shall equal One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). For the sake of illustration, if Actual Revenue is equal to $[…***…], Sellers would be entitled to an Earnout Payment equal to […***…] Dollars ($[…***…]) ($[…***…] - $[…***…] x $[…***…]).

(b) Determination of Earnout Payment.

(i) Pre-Closing Revenue.

(1) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth Sellers’ calculation of Pre-Closing Revenue, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate such amount (the “Pre-Closing Revenue Statement”).

(2) If Purchaser has any objections to the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement, Purchaser will deliver to Sellers, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement, a detailed written statement (the “Pre-Closing Revenue Objections Statement”) describing (A) which items on the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement have not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement, (B) the basis for Purchaser’s disagreement with the calculation of such items, and (C) Purchaser’s proposed dollar amount for each item in dispute. During the thirty (30) day period following Sellers’ delivery of the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement to Purchaser, upon Purchaser’s written request, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to the books and records of Sellers as necessary to enable Purchaser to verify the information included in the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement, and shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Purchaser relating to Purchaser’s investigation and review of the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement. Any such investigation and review shall be conducted at reasonable times and under reasonable circumstances, and Purchaser agrees that any such investigation or review shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Sellers. If Sellers have made such books and records available to Purchaser in a timely manner as provided herein (based on a timely request by Purchaser for access to such books and records), but Purchaser fails to deliver a Pre-Closing Revenue Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement shall automatically become final and binding on all parties. If Purchaser delivers a Pre-Closing Revenue Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then Sellers and Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such disputes, but if a final resolution is not obtained within thirty (30) days after Purchaser has submitted the Pre-Closing Revenue Objections Statement, any remaining matters that are in dispute will be resolved by the Accountants. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with all amounts and items contained or reflected in the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement to the extent such amounts or items are not disputed in the Pre-Closing Revenue Objections Statement. The Accountants will prepare and deliver a written report to Purchaser and Sellers and will submit a resolution of such unresolved disputes promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted to the Accountants. The Accountants’ determination of such unresolved disputes will be final and binding on all parties;provided, however, that no such determination shall be any more favorable to Sellers than is set forth in the Pre-Closing Revenue Statement or any more favorable to Purchaser than is proposed in the Pre-Closing Revenue Objections

***Confidential Treatment Requested

-14-

Statement. The fees and any expenses of the Accountants, including any retainer, shall be shared equally between Purchaser and Sellers. The final Pre-Closing Revenue Statement, however determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(i)(2), will produce the Pre-Closing Revenue to be used to determine whether Sellers are entitled to the Earnout Payment.

(ii) Actual Revenue.

(1) Within sixty (60) days following the end of the 2017 calendar year, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of Actual Revenue, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate such amount (the “Earnout Statement”).

(2) If Sellers have any objections to the Earnout Statement, Sellers will deliver to Purchaser, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Earnout Statement, a detailed written statement (the “Earnout Objections Statement”) describing (A) which items on the Earnout Statement have not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement, (B) the basis for Sellers’ disagreement with the calculation of such items, and (C) Sellers’ proposed dollar amount for each item in dispute. During the thirty (30) day period following Purchaser’s delivery of the Earnout Statement to Sellers, upon Sellers’ written request, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with reasonable access to the books and records of Purchaser as necessary to enable Sellers to verify the information included in the Earnout Statement, including Purchaser’s calculation of Actual Revenue, and shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Sellers relating to Sellers’ investigation and review of the Earnout Statement. Any such investigation and review shall be conducted at reasonable times and under reasonable circumstances, and Sellers agree that any such investigation or review shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Purchaser. If Purchaser has made such books and records available to Sellers in a timely manner as provided herein (based on a timely request by Sellers for access to such books and records), but Sellers fail to deliver an Earnout Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then the Earnout Statement shall automatically become final and binding on all parties. If Sellers deliver an Earnout Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then Sellers and Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such disputes, but if a final resolution is not obtained within thirty (30) days after Sellers have submitted the Earnout Objections Statement, any remaining matters that are in dispute will be resolved by the Accountants. Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with all amounts and items contained or reflected in the Earnout Statement to the extent such amounts or items are not disputed in the Earnout Objections Statement. The Accountants will prepare and deliver a written report to Purchaser and Sellers and will submit a resolution of such unresolved disputes promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted to the Accountants. The Accountants’ determination of such unresolved disputes will be final and binding on all parties;provided, however, that no such determination shall be any more favorable to Sellers than is set forth in the Earnout Objections Statement or any more favorable to Purchaser than is proposed in the Earnout Statement. The fees and any expenses of the Accountants, including any retainer, shall be shared equally between Purchaser and Sellers. The final Earnout Statement, however determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(ii)(2), will produce the Actual Revenue to be used to determine whether Sellers are entitled to the Earnout Payment.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

-15-

(c) Payment of Earnout Payment. The Earnout Payment shall be paid by Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the date the Earnout Payment becomes final and binding in accordance with Section 3.3(b)(ii)(2), as follows: (i) to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers in writing an amount equal to the (A) Earnout Payment, less (B) an amount equal to [ …***…]% of the Earnout Amount (the “Earnout Escrow Amount”) and (ii) as partial security against any claims by Purchaser for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2, by deposit of the Earnout Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(ii) “Maximum Revenue Amount” means $[…***…].

(iii) “Minimum Revenue Amount” means $[…***…].

(iv) “Pre-Closing Revenue” means the net revenue collected by Sellers (net of refunds, rebates and similar items) as determined in accordance with GAAP, whether collected by Sellers prior to Closing or within one hundred twenty (120) days following Closing, from any quality verification program services provided, or analytical chemistry and microbiology testing conducted, by Sellers during the period commencing January 1, 2017 and ending on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the orders for which originated through the Business’ Great Plains intake system.

Sellers on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand, shall each pay […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, value added, excise, stock transfer, stamp, recording, registration and any similar Taxes and fees, including any penalties and interest thereon, that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). Sellers shall be responsible for timely preparing and filing all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to the Transfer Taxes, provided that Sellers shall provide such documents to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days before the documents are due to be filed. Sellers shall not file any such documents without the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

-16-

payment of the Transfer Taxes, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers by check from the Holdback Amount, an amount equal to its share of the Transfer Taxes, and if such amount is less than the Holdback Amount, the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be deemed reduced by the difference between the Holdback Amount and the amount of Purchaser’s share of the Transfer Taxes and Sellers shall not be entitled to payment of such difference; provided that, if Purchaser’s share of the Transfer Taxes is greater than the Holdback Amount, in addition to paying Sellers by check from the Holdback Amount the full Holdback Amount, Purchaser shall also pay to Sellers by check an amount equal to [ …***…]% of the amount by which the Transfer Taxes exceed $[…***…]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Holdback Amount shall not be treated as purchase price paid for the Purchased Assets for U.S. federal or applicable state or local income Tax purposes, and, instead, shall be treated as owned by Purchaser and paid to relieve Purchaser’s liability pursuant to Section 3.4.

3.5. Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties hereto agree to the allocation of the purchase price (as defined for applicable U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets, and between each Seller, as indicated on Schedule 3.5 attached hereto for tax reporting purposes (the “Allocation Schedule”). If an indemnification payment is made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, then Purchaser shall adjust the Allocation Schedule to reflect such adjustment or payment in accordance with the nature of each such adjustment or payment and in a manner consistent with Section 1060, the regulations thereunder and the methodology used by the Purchaser and Sellers to allocate the purchase price among the Purchased Assets before Closing, and shall deliver the Allocation Schedule as so revised to Sellers. Any adjustment(s) to the Allocation Schedule shall be final unless Sellers object in writing within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the notification of any adjustment(s) to the Allocation Schedule. In the event of an objection, Purchaser and Sellers shall work cooperatively to reach mutual agreement on any adjustment(s) to the Allocation Schedule. Sellers and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall report, act and file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Allocation Schedule (as such Allocation Schedule may be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.5). Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall take any position in any Tax matter (whether in audit, Tax Returns, or otherwise with any Governmental Authority) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law.

3.6. No Restrictions on Purchaser’s Operation of the Business. After the Closing, Purchaser shall have no obligation to operate its business or the Business in any manner other than as it determines to be appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, Purchaser agrees to use the Great Plains intake system for the Business through at least December 31, 2017.

No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Sellers shall mutually agree upon a list of Sellers’ employees associated with the Business that Purchaser will offer employment (such listed employees, the “Business Employees”). Upon reasonable request by Purchaser, the Sellers shall cooperate with and shall not impair Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the employment of such Business Employees.

(b) Sellers, at the time of Closing, shall terminate all of the Business Employees and shall pay to all such Business Employees all amounts earned or accrued for wages, commissions, salaries, bonuses, holiday and vacation pay, and past service claims as of (but not including) the Closing Date, and shall make and remit, for all periods through but not including the Closing Date, all proper deductions, remittances and contributions for employees’ wages, commissions and salaries required under all Contractual Obligations and Laws (including, without limitation, for health, hospital and medical insurance, group life insurance, pension plans, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, income tax, FICA tax and the like) and, wherever required by such Contractual Obligations and/or Laws, all proper deductions and contributions from its own funds for such purposes, including making all matching contributions to the Sellers’ 401(k) plan(s) on account of any contributions made by the Business Employees prior to Closing and for which matching contributions by Sellers have not yet been made, as required by Sellers’ 401(k) plan(s), if applicable, in each case with respect to the Business Employees.

Sellers shall bear the insurance premiums for such period and Purchaser shall pay Sellers within five (5) Business Days of receiving any invoice or other statement the amount of such premiums and other liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses incurred by Sellers arising out of or based upon such continued coverage for such Business Employees and shown on such invoice or other statement.

(d) No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Business Employee, or any beneficiary or dependent thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and benefits that may be provided to such Business Employee by Purchaser or under any Employee Plan that Purchaser may maintain. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the adoption of, or an amendment to, any

-38-

employee benefit plan, as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or otherwise to limit the right of the Purchaser to amend, modify or terminate any such employee benefit plan.

7.8. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of either Sellers or Purchaser, each of the parties hereto shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be commercially reasonable to carry out the transactions contemplated hereunder.

7.10. Bulk Transfer Laws. It is understood and agreed that Sellers and Purchaser shall not comply with the provisions of the “Bulk Sales Law” or similar provisions of the laws of any state insofar as they may be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the parties each hereby waive, as among themselves, all rights and remedies relating to such noncompliance except to the extent of Purchaser’s indemnification rights relating to such noncompliance as set forth in Article XI. Sellers agree to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses in connection with such noncompliance in accordance with Article XI.

7.11. Continuation of Professional Liability Insurance. For a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, Sellers shall maintain in effect a professional liability insurance policy or shall purchase a “tail” policy of professional liability insurance with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, which tail insurance shall contain terms and conditions no less advantageous than are contained in Sellers’ current professional insurance policy. Upon the request of Purchaser, Sellers shall provide reasonable evidence of the existence of such insurance policy.

7.12. Prorations. Assessments, common area maintenance charges, utility charges and rental payments with respect to the Leased Premises (collectively, “Charges”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis and apportioned on a calendar year basis between Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, as of the date of the Closing. Sellers shall be liable for that portion of such Charges relating to, or arising in respect of, periods on or prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be liable for that portion of such Charges relating to, or arising in respect of, any period after the Closing Date.

7.13. Tax Matters.

(a) Subject to Section 3.4, all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Business

-39-

for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between Sellers and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period ending on but not including the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Apportioned Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period beginning from the Closing Date through the end of such taxable period (the “Post-Closing Apportioned Period”). Sellers shall be liable for the proportionate amount of Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Apportioned Period. Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of the Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Post-Closing Apportioned Period. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and Sellers shall jointly prepare a statement to Sellers setting forth the amount of the respective shares of any Apportioned Obligations, including a statement of any reimbursement to which Sellers are entitled from Purchaser under this Section 7.13(a) (which shall take into account any Taxes previously overpaid by Sellers) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate such amount to be reimbursed. Thereafter, each party shall notify the other parties upon receipt of any xxxx for any Apportioned Obligations, part or all of which are attributable to the Pre-Closing Apportioned Period, or, if an Apportioned Obligation attributable to a Post-Closing Apportioned Period is paid by Sellers or otherwise billed to Sellers, upon receipt by Sellers of such xxxx. If such xxxx relates solely to the Pre-Closing Apportioned Period and is received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly deliver such xxxx to Sellers who shall pay the same to the appropriate Governmental Authority. If such xxxx relates to the Post-Closing Apportioned Period, the party receiving such xxxx shall promptly deliver such xxxx to the other parties and Sellers shall remit, prior to the due date of assessment, to Purchaser payment only for the proportionate amount of such xxxx that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Apportioned Period. If either Sellers or Purchaser shall make a payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 7.13(a), the party that is liable for such payment pursuant to this Section 7.13(a) shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement. Any Tax refunds, credits or overpayments attributable to any Apportioned Obligations shall be apportioned between Purchaser and Sellers in accordance with the apportionment provided in this Section 7.13(a). Any reimbursement by one party to any other party shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(b) Each of Sellers, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon any other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each party shall provide to the others, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof, any Tax related communications and notices it receives which may impact the other parties’ Tax Liability or filing responsibilities.

(c) Purchaser and Sellers agree to utilize or cause their respective Affiliates to utilize, the standard procedure set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-2 C.B. 320, with respect to wage reporting.

7.14. Accounts Receivable; Accounts Payable.

(a) Sellers shall retain all accounts receivable arising out of the operation of the Business prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall retain all accounts receivable arising out of the operation of the Business on and after the Closing. After the Closing, Purchaser and Sellers shall forward to the other party any funds which are received by such party but relate to the accounts receivable of the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, neither party shall have any responsibility to collect any of the other party’s accounts receivable. Sellers shall be responsible for any negative account receivable balances of customers that exist as of the Closing Date (including but not limited to those arising from overpayments, duplicate payments and credit memos as listed in Section 5.19 of the Disclosure Schedule). If a customer requests or requires Purchaser to honor any such Closing Date negative account receivable balance by crediting an amount due Purchaser for services rendered post-Closing, Purchaser shall promptly forward such information to Sellers, and Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate in good faith in addressing such circumstances (e.g., by Sellers satisfying such negative account receivable balance through payment to the customer or Purchaser, or through some other mutually agreed on resolution). If the parties cannot agree on a mutually acceptable resolution and Purchaser reasonably believes that the negative account receivable balance is due the customer, then Purchaser shall have the right to credit the customer against amounts due Purchaser for services rendered post-Closing and, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Purchaser set forth herein (including rights to indemnification set forth in Article XI), Purchaser shall have the right to offset the amount of such bona fide negative account receivable balance from any funds that are received by Purchaser post-Closing in respect of accounts receivable arising out of the operation of the Business prior to the Closing that would otherwise be forwarded to Sellers by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.14(a).

(b) After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly forward to Sellers any invoices, bills, notices or requests for payments relating to any accounts payable or other accruals (other than Taxes) related to the Business arising prior to the Closing (“Pre-Closing Payables”). Promptly upon receipt, and in any event no later than the expiration of the period of time during which such Pre-Closing Payables may be paid by Sellers without the incurrence of any interest, penalty, late fee or other charge thereon (the “Penalty Date”), Sellers shall pay all such bona fide Pre-Closing Payables (it being understood that where any such Pre-Closing Payable is the subject of a bona fide good faith dispute between Sellers and the third party claiming such amount, Sellers may delay payment of such Pre-Closing Payable until such dispute is resolved). In the event Sellers shall fail to pay any bona fide Pre-Closing Payable (including any interest penalties, late fees or other charges thereon) within thirty (30) days after the Penalty Date (other than in the event of a bona fide good faith dispute as described above), upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Sellers, if Purchaser reasonably believes that the ongoing failure to pay such bona fide Pre-Closing Payables is reasonably likely to result in damages to the operation of the Business, then Purchaser shall have the right to pay such bona fide Pre-Closing Payable on behalf of Sellers (including any interest, penalties, late fees or other charges thereon) and, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Purchaser set forth herein (including rights to indemnification set forth in Article XI), Purchaser shall have the right to offset the amount of such bona fide Pre-Closing Payable (including any interest penalties, late fees or other charges thereon) from any funds which are received by Purchaser post-Closing in

-41-

respect of accounts receivable arising out of the operation of the Business prior to the Closing which would otherwise be forwarded to Sellers by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.14(a).

7.15. Minimum Purchase Obligation. Purchaser and its Affiliates (including but not limited to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings) shall purchase from Sellers at least $[ …***…] in the aggregate of analytical reference standards (before discount), during each of the two (2) twelve (12) month periods immediately following the Closing Date, at prices that are discounted by […***…] percent ([…***…]%) from the prices that Sellers otherwise charge independent third parties for such analytical reference standards. Compliance with such minimum purchase obligation shall be determined by multiplying (A) the sum of the actual amounts paid by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including but not limited to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings) to Sellers for orders made during the applicable twelve (12) month period by (B) […***…]. The parties hereby agree that the purchase and sale of the analytical reference standards required by this Section 7.15 shall be subject to Sellers’ standard terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 7.15 attached hereto, and that Article XI of this Agreement shall not apply with respect to such purchase and sale of analytical reference standards or any non-fulfillment, non-performance or other breach by any of the parties of this Section 7.15.

7.16. Exclusive Provider. During the two (2) year period following Closing, Seller Parties and their majority-owned Subsidiaries shall engage only Purchaser, as the exclusive provider, for all third party ingredient test work (“Test Services”) that Seller Parties and their majority-owned Subsidiaries require and that Purchaser has the ability to perform. Seller Parties and Purchaser agree that the price for such Test Services shall be discounted by […***…] percent ([…***…]%) from the price that Purchaser otherwise charges independent third parties for such Test Services, provided, however, such discount shall not apply to any Test Services (a) conducted by third-parties, (b) conducted at Purchaser’s Anaheim facility, (c) involving monographs, (d) involving client-specific methods, or (d) involving any non-routine testing. Purchaser’s engagement to perform Test Services shall be subject to Purchaser’s standard terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 7.16 attached hereto, and that Article XI of this Agreement shall not apply with respect to such engagement or any non-fulfillment, non-performance or other breach by any of the parties of this Section 7.16. At such time as Seller Parties or their majority-owned Subsidiaries require Test Services, Seller Parties shall, or shall cause their majority-owned Subsidiaries to, make a written request to Purchaser describing the requested Test Services and the requested completion date, and Purchaser shall notify Seller Parties or Seller Parties’ majority-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, in writing within ten (10) days following its receipt of such written request whether Purchaser has the ability to timely perform the requested Test Services; provided, however, if the requested completion date is not within Purchaser’s standard time frame for completing Test Services, the performance of those Test Services shall be subject to an upcharge for expedited service. If Purchaser does not provide such written notice to Seller Parties or Seller Parties’ majority-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, within such ten (10) day period or notifies Seller Parties or Seller Parties’ majority-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, within such ten (10) day period that it is unable to timely perform the requested Test Services, Seller Parties and their majority-owned Subsidiaries may thereafter purchase such Test Services from one or more third parties free of any obligation to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.16. If Purchaser does notify Seller Parties or Seller Parties’ majority-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, within such ten (10) day period, that it has the ability to timely perform the requested Test Services, but thereafter does not complete such Test Services

Sellers’ engagement to perform JQMS Services shall be subject to Sellers’ standard terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 7.15 attached hereto.

(b) In the event that, during the two (2) year period following the Closing, Sellers acquire JQMS or substantially all of JQMS’ assets associated with the JQMS Services, Sellers and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a separate agreement between Sellers and Purchaser for the provision of the JQMS Services, and such agreement shall contain commercially reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Purchaser than the standard terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 7.15 attached hereto and the business terms set forth in Section 7.17(a). In the event that, during the two (2) year period following the Closing, either Sellers or JQMS desire to terminate, or not to renew, the JQMS Agreement (and Sellers have not previously acquired JQMS or substantially all of JQMS’ assets associated with the JQMS Services), Sellers shall (i) provide Purchaser with written notice at least six (6) months’ prior to termination of the JQMS Agreement (or promptly following receipt of any termination notice from JQMS) or (ii) provide Purchaser with written notice at least ninety (90) days’ prior to the expiration of the JQMS Agreement in the case of non-renewal (or promptly following receipt of any non-renewal notice from JQMS); provided that, in the event of any termination of the JQMS Agreement by either JQMS or Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2.2 or 9.2.3 of the JQMS Agreement, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with prompt written notice of such termination, in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of receipt or delivery of notice of such termination. In each such case, Sellers shall continue to provide Purchaser with the JQMS Services through the date of termination or expiration of the JQMS Agreement, as applicable. Upon Purchaser’s written request, during the period after any such Sellers’ notice of termination or expiration of the JQMS Agreement until sixty (60) days after the termination or expiration of the JQMS Agreement, as applicable, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in identifying another third-party vendor capable of providing auditing services comparable to the JQMS Services.

11.4. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Delivery of Claim Notice. Any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties hereto against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”, which term shall include all Indemnifying Parties if there be more than one) of any claim for indemnification hereunder (a “Claim” and such notice, a “Claim Notice”), provided that failure of the Indemnified Party to give such Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent, if at all, that such Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced thereby. Each Claim Notice shall state that such Indemnified Party believes that there is or has been a breach, inaccuracy, non-fulfillment or non-performance of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or that such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under Article XI of this Agreement, and contain a description of the circumstances supporting such Indemnified Party’s belief that there is or has been such a breach or that such Indemnified Party is so entitled to indemnification or reimbursement and shall, to the extent possible, contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount of Losses such Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered (the “Claimed Amount”), which estimate shall include a reasonable amount of detail showing how the Claimed Amount was determined.

(b) Response Notice; Uncontested Claims. Within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may deliver to the Indemnified Party who delivered the Claim Notice a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnifying Party: (i) agrees that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full Claimed Amount (the “Uncontested Amount”); (ii) agrees that the Indemnified Party is entitled to part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”); or (iii) indicates that the Indemnifying Party disputes the entire Claimed Amount. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to pursuant to the Response Notice shall be the “Contested Amount.” If a

-51-

Response Notice is not received by the Indemnitee within such 20-day period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the Indemnitee is entitled to the full Claimed Amount (also, the “Uncontested Amount”). If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee are unable to resolve the dispute relating to any Contested Amount within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Response Notice, then the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party may resolve the claim described in the Claim Notice in accordance with Section 12.10 of this Agreement. To the extent that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party resolve the Claim described in the Claim Notice in accordance with Section 12.10 of this Agreement and the Seller Parties are found liable for all or any portion of the Contested Amount or any other damages, such portion of the Contested Amount and such other damages shall also be deemed an “Uncontested Amount” for purposes of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall pay (subject to Section 11.6, to the extent applicable) the Indemnified Party for any Uncontested Amount within fifteen (15) days of the applicable amount being determined to be an Uncontested Amount in accordance with this Section 11.4.

(c) Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event a Claim described in a Claim Notice relates to any Proceeding instituted or asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party may become obligated to indemnify or reimburse an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XI (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election by giving notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of such Claim Notice for such Third Party Claim, to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Article XI for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such Third Party Claim where the Indemnifying Party timely elects to assume the defense against such Third Party Claim, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense and retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such Proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or (iii) the named parties to any such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party. It is agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Third Party Claim or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party timely elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim and is actively engaged in such defense or in circumstances where the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel are not at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) of the second preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Claim effected without its prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the

-52-

plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could be sought under this Article XI by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (1) includes an unconditional, full written release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (2) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party and (3) does not impose on such Indemnified Party any continuing obligations or restrictions other than customary and reasonable confidentiality obligations relating to such claim, settlement or compromise.

11.5. Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.3(a) unless and until the amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim equals or exceeds $50,000 (such amount, the “Deductible”), after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the full amount of all Losses from the first dollar, subject to the other limitations contained in this Article XI;provided, however, that the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section 11.5(a) shall not apply to (i) breaches or inaccuracies of the Fundamental Reps, (ii) breach or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties in Section 5.11 (Environmental Matters), or (iii) claims based upon common law fraud. Claims for indemnification pursuant to any other provision of Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 are not subject to the monetary limitations set forth in this Section 11.5(a).

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the indemnities and other obligations set forth in this Article XI shall be the exclusive remedies of the Purchaser Indemnitees against Seller Parties and the Seller Indemnitees against Purchaser, as applicable, to collect any Losses for which they are entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (including with respect to non-fulfillment, non-performance or breach of any covenant or agreement included in any other Transaction Document or breaches of or inaccuracies in representations and warranties in any other Transaction Document) or any monetary remedy pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document under any theory of liability, except in the case of common law fraud. For the sake of clarity, nothing in this Section 11.5(b) shall operate to limit the Purchaser’s right to injunctive relief with respect to breaches of any post-Closing covenants contained in any of the Transaction Documents.

(c) The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses for which the Seller Parties shall be liable pursuant to this Article XI (other than (i) with respect to Section 11.2(d), (ii) Environmental Losses, (iii) for claims based on non-fulfillment, non-performance or other breaches by any of the Seller Parties of any covenant or agreement in the Non-Competition Agreement, (iv) for claims based on breaches of or inaccuracies in any of the Fundamental Reps, and (v) for claims based on common law fraud, which, with respect to each of clauses (i) through (v), the monetary limitation set forth in this Section 11.5(c) shall not apply) shall not

exceed an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the sum of (A) the Initial Purchase Price plus (B) the amount of the Earnout Payment actually paid by Purchaser to the Sellers or deposited with the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, inclusive of the aggregate amount of all other indemnity claims paid to Purchaser Indemnitees hereunder;provided, however, that the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses for which the Seller Parties shall be liable pursuant to Sections 11.2(a) and 11.2(b), other than with respect to Fundamental Reps, the representations and warranties in Section 5.11 (Environmental Matters), and for claims based on common law fraud, shall not exceed an amount equal to two (2) times the General Escrow Amount, inclusive of the aggregate amount of all other indemnity claims paid to Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Sections 11.2(a) and 11.2(b), other than with respect to the Fundamental Reps, the representations and warranties in Section 5.11 (Environmental Matters), and for claims based on common law fraud.

(d) The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Article XI shall be calculated net of the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses or any of the events or circumstances giving rise to such Losses (net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred in obtaining such insurance, indemnification, contribution or reimbursement).

(e) For the sole purpose of determining Losses (and not for determining whether or not any breaches of or inaccuracies in representations or warranties have occurred), the representations and warranties shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

11.6. Release of Escrow Funds.

(a) Subject to the further terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and this Article XI, on the first Business Day after the expiration of the General Escrow Period, Purchaser and Sellers shall execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers any remaining General Escrow Funds on such date, minus any Claimed Amount relating to any Claim Notice given by any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to the General Escrow Funds for which a Response Notice from Sellers is not then due and has not been given and any Contested Amount relating to the General Escrow Funds then outstanding (the “Pending General Claim Reserve”). The Pending General Claim Reserve shall remain in escrow until the resolution, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, of the applicable claim or claims to which such reserve relates. Upon resolution of such claim or claims, Purchaser and Sellers shall promptly execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to (i) Purchaser, any amount which Purchaser is entitled to receive as a result of the resolution of such claim or claims and (ii) Sellers, any remaining balance of the General Escrow Amount.

(b) In the event, prior to Closing, Sellers have not delivered to Purchaser a Regulatory Letter or the Landlord Acknowledgement pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(i) above, but following Closing, Sellers deliver to Purchaser (i) either a Regulatory Letter (provided no Regulatory Letter was delivered prior to Closing), which may be conditioned upon (1) no

-54-

changes in conditions, laws or property uses, (2) no new contamination caused by Purchaser, (3) a reservation of the Colorado Governmental Authority’s authority should new information come to light, and (4) no submission of materially misleading information to the Colorado Governmental Authority (the parties acknowledge and agree that the conditions in (1), (2), (3) and (4) shall not be a basis for Purchaser or its counsel to deem any Regulatory Letter not reasonably satisfactory) or the Landlord Acknowledgement (provided no Landlord Acknowledgement was delivered prior to Closing), in either case in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, it being agreed by the parties that Purchaser shall provide written notice to Sellers indicating whether the Regulatory Letter or Landlord Acknowledgement or both, as applicable, is or are reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel within twenty-one (21) days after Purchaser’s receipt of such Regulatory Letter or Landlord Acknowledgement or both, as applicable. In the event Purchaser has provided Sellers with written notice within such period indicating that such Regulatory Letter or Landlord Acknowledgement or both, as applicable, is or are reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, or has failed to notify Sellers of Purchaser’s determination within such period, Sellers shall be entitled to a distribution from the Special Escrow Funds of an amount equal to the lesser of [ …***…] Dollars ($[…***…]) and the remaining Special Escrow Funds, or (ii) both a Regulatory Letter and a Landlord Acknowledgement, in each case in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, Sellers shall be entitled to a distribution from the Special Escrow Funds of an amount equal to the lesser of […***…] Dollars ($[…***…]) and the remaining Special Escrow Funds. In the event Sellers satisfy the foregoing condition in either subsections (i) or (ii) above and are entitled to a distribution from the Special Escrow Funds, on the first Business Day after Sellers satisfy the condition in either subsections (i) or (ii), Purchaser and Sellers shall execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers the applicable amount pursuant to this Section 11.6(b). Prior to Sellers’ submission to the applicable Colorado Governmental Authority of any information regarding the environmental condition of the Leased Premises, including any application or request for a Regulatory Letter, Sellers shall provide to Purchaser, for Purchaser’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, a copy of such information, application or request; provided, further, that upon Sellers’ receipt of such written approval, or, if Purchaser has not provided Sellers with either a written approval or objection to such information, application or request within fifteen (15) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of such information, application or request, Sellers may proceed with their submission to the applicable Colorado Governmental Authority, and if a written objection is delivered to Sellers within such period, Sellers and Purchaser agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection as soon as practicable. Sellers shall further afford Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to participate in any telephone call or meeting with such Colorado Governmental Authority arising out of any such submission, application or request.

(c) Subject to the further terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and this Article XI, on the first Business Day after the expiration of the Special Escrow Period, Purchaser and Sellers shall execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers any remaining Special Escrow Funds on such date, minus any Claimed Amount relating to any Claim Notice given by any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to the Special Escrow Funds for which a Response Notice from Sellers is not then due and has not been given and any Contested Amount relating to the Special Escrow Funds then

outstanding (the “Pending Special Claim Reserve”). The Pending Special Claim Reserve shall remain in escrow until the resolution, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, of the applicable claim or claims to which such reserve relates. Upon resolution of such claim or claims, Purchaser and Sellers shall promptly execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to (i) Purchaser, any amount which Purchaser is entitled to receive as a result of the resolution of such claim or claims and (ii) Sellers, any remaining balance of the Special Escrow Amount.

11.7. Tax Treatment. The parties will treat any payment received pursuant to this Article XI as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price for Tax and financial reporting purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

11.8. Non-Reliance. Neither Purchaser nor Seller Parties are relying on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Such representations and warranties by Seller Parties constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Seller Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature whatsoever and whether, express, implied or statutory are expressly disclaimed by the Seller Parties.
