If the Buyer Parties have not received a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire in respect of a Seller confirming that such Seller is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, and is otherwise unable to satisfy itself, in its reasonable discretion, that a Seller is an “accredited investor” as so defined, or that the issuance of shares of Common Stock of Holdco I or the issuance of Class A Units of Holdco II to such Seller is otherwise lawful, then such Seller will be entitled to receive the portion of the Consideration attributable to the Class B Units of the Company held by such Seller that would have been paid in Common Stock of Holdco I solely in cash in lieu of such Common Stock of Holdco I.

2.12. Purchase Price Adjustment.

2.12.1. The Company will prepare in good faith and will provide to the Buyer Parties no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Group Companies as of the Designated Time (as the same may be adjusted in response to any comments of the Buyer Parties provided prior to the Closing, the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimates of the Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Debt Amount, and Closing Net Working Capital, each as derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, and the Company Transaction Expenses (as the same may be adjusted in response to any comments of the Buyer Parties provided prior to the Closing, the “Estimated Closing Statement”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the good faith estimate of Closing Net Working Capital contained in the Estimated Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, other than with respect to Taxes, which will be determined in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and, for the avoidance of doubt, will take into account the Contemplated Transactions. The good faith estimate of Closing Net Working Capital will consist solely of the line items set forth in the Net Working Capital Calculation Schedule and no assets or liabilities included in the Net Working Capital Calculation Schedule will be reclassified to a different line item in the good faith estimate of Closing Net Working Capital. Following the delivery of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement, the Company will provide the Buyer Parties and their respective Representatives reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the Group Companies for purposes of assisting the Buyer Parties and their respective Representatives in their review of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement. Prior to Closing, the parties will cooperate in good faith to answer any questions and resolve any issues raised by the Buyer Parties and their respective Representatives in connection with their review of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement.

2.12.2. As promptly as possible and in any event within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation will prepare or cause to be prepared, and will provide to the Sellers’ Representative, a consolidated balance sheet of the Group Companies as of the Designated Time (the “Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet”),

together with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its proposed final determination of the Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Debt Amount, Closing Net Working Capital, and Company Transaction Expenses (the “Proposed Final Closing Statement”). The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the determination of the Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Debt Amount, Company Transaction Expenses and Closing Net Working Capital reflected on the Proposed Final Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, other than with respect to Taxes, which will be determined in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and, for the avoidance of doubt, will take into account the Contemplated Transactions. The Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives will have reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the Group Companies for purposes of assisting the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives in their review of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement.

2.12.3. The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement (and the proposed final determinations of the Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Debt Amount, Closing Net Working Capital, and Company Transaction Expenses reflected thereon) will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties unless the Sellers’ Representative provides a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the Surviving Corporation no later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement. Any Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or the Proposed Final Closing Statement which the Sellers’ Representative believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the correct amount of such item and (ii) the Sellers’ Representative’s alternative calculation of the Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Debt Amount, Closing Net Working Capital, and Company Transaction Expenses, as the case may be. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on such twentieth (20th) Business Day.

2.12.4. The Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative will attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Dispute Notice in good faith. Beginning ten (10) Business Days after delivery of any Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 2.12.3, either the Surviving Corporation or the Sellers’ Representative may provide written notice to the other (the “Dispute Submission Notice”) that it elects to submit the disputed items to RSM US LLP (unless at such time such firm has a material conflict of interest with respect to the parties hereto) or another nationally recognized independent accounting firm chosen jointly by the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Accounting Firm”). In the event that RSM US LLP has not agreed to act as the Accounting Firm and an alternative Accounting Firm has not been selected by mutual agreement of the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) Business Days following the giving of the Dispute Submission Notice, each of the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative will promptly select an accounting firm and promptly cause such two accounting firms to mutually select a third independent accounting firm to act as the Accounting Firm within twenty (20) Business Days of the giving of the Dispute Submission Notice. The Accounting Firm will promptly, in

accordance with the rules set forth in the Accounting Firm’s engagement letter and its customary practices, review only those unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific unresolved item and amount in accordance with this Agreement. In any such case, a single partner of the Accounting Firm selected by such Accounting Firm in accordance with its normal procedures and having expertise with respect to settlement of such disputes will act for the Accounting Firm in the determination proceeding, and the Accounting Firm will render a written decision as to each disputed matter, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. In no event will the decision of the Accounting Firm (i) provide for a calculation of any item of Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents or Closing Net Working Capital that is less than the calculation thereof shown in the Proposed Final Closing Statement or greater than the Sellers’ Representatives’ alternative calculation thereof shown in the Dispute Notice or (ii) provide for a determination of any item of Debt reflected in the Closing Debt Amount or any Company Transaction Expense that is greater in amount than the amount thereof shown in the Proposed Final Closing Statement or less in amount than the Sellers’ Representatives’ alternative calculation thereof shown in the Dispute Notice. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated between the parties based on the relative extent to which the positions of the Sellers’ Representative and the Surviving Corporation are upheld by the Accounting Firm. The relative extent to which such positions are upheld will be determined by comparing (a) the difference between (x) the aggregate net amount that would have been payable under Section 2.12.5 if the positions of the Surviving Corporation had been upheld in their entirety by the Accounting Firm and (y) the actual final aggregate net amount payable under such Section 2.12.5 and (b) the difference between (x) the aggregate net amount that would have been payable under Section 2.12.5 if the positions of the Sellers’ Representative had been upheld in their entirety by the Accounting Firm and (y) the actual final aggregate net amount payable under such Section 2.12.5. The Accounting Firm will not have the power to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement and any dispute among the parties hereto regarding the interpretation of this Agreement and the terms hereof will be resolved, including through appropriate judicial resolution if necessary, prior to the submission of the unresolved disputed items to the Accounting Firm. The decision of the Accounting Firm with respect to the disputed items of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement submitted to it will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. As used herein, the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement, as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.12.4, are referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and the “Final Closing Statement”, respectively. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Accounting Firm (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable after the commencement of the Accounting Firm’s engagement.

2.12.5. If any of the Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Debt Amount, Closing Net Working Capital, or Company Transaction Expenses (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.10 and as set forth in the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the

Final Closing Statement) differs from the estimated amounts thereof set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Consideration will be recalculated using such final figures in lieu of such estimated figures and within five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Consideration is finally determined (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.10, the “Final Consideration”):

(a) The Surviving Corporation will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount, if any, by which the Final Consideration exceeds the Closing Consideration, for further payment to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Portion thereof; or

(b) The Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative will deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release and promptly pay to the Surviving Corporation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in such joint written instruction, from the Working Capital Escrow Account the amount by which, if any, the Closing Consideration exceeds the Final Consideration; provided, that if such amount is greater than the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the Sellers will pay to the Surviving Corporation an amount equal to such shortfall by wire transfer of immediately available funds, with each Seller paying such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of such shortfall.

Immediately following payment of all amounts determined to be owed pursuant to Section 2.12.5(a) or Section 2.12.5(b), the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative will deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release and promptly pay to the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account(s) designated in such joint written instruction, any funds remaining in the Working Capital Escrow Account, for further payment to the Sellers in accordance each Seller’s Pro Rata Portion thereof.

2.13. Withholding Rights. The Buyer Parties, the Company, the Escrow Agent and each other applicable withholding agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to, or for the benefit of, any Person in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax Legal Requirement. Any amounts so deducted or withheld will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection with the Contemplated Transactions as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, compensatory payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement will be made through the payroll system of the applicable Group Company (or, with respect to Fresenius Managers, the Fresenius Affiliate that employs such Fresenius Manager), subject to applicable withholding.

The parties will provide each other reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any filing, submission, registration or other written communication to be given to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Authority in connection with the efforts taken pursuant to this Section 5.5; provided, however, that, subject to applicable Legal Requirements relating to the exchange of information, the Buyer Parties will have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Authorities. If any investigation, inquiry or other Action, whether initiated by a Governmental Authority or a private party, arising out of or relating to any such filing, submission or registration or otherwise relating to the Contemplated Transactions is initiated or threatened, the parties will keep each other reasonably informed of any material communications and developments in connection therewith, and, to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ and other relevant Persons, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in any meetings and conferences relating to such filings, submissions, registrations and Actions, provided, however, that, subject to applicable Legal Requirements relating to the exchange of information, the Buyer Parties will have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Authorities. The parties will reasonably promptly respond to all inquiries made by the FTC, DOJ and any other applicable Governmental Authorities in connection with such filings, submissions or registrations or otherwise in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and reasonably promptly provide to such Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material requested under applicable Legal Requirements. Each party further agrees that it will not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Legal Requirement, or enter into any agreement with the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority, or any other party to delay or not to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Parties (or their ultimate parent) may unilaterally extend the waiting period under the HSR Act (which may include pursuant to an election by the Buyer

Parties to “pull and refile” the notification required under the HSR Act) by a period not to exceed thirty-five (35) days following the waiting period associated with the initial notification provided under the HSR Act and the Sellers, Sellers’ Representative and the Company will cooperate therewith consistent with its obligations hereunder.

5.5.4. If any objections are raised or asserted with respect to the Contemplated Transactions under any Legal Requirement or if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the Contemplated Transactions as being in violation of any applicable Legal Requirement or which would otherwise prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, the Buyer Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or Actions so as to permit consummation of the Contemplated Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable. The Buyer Parties expressly agree that, if necessary to obtain approval of the Contemplated Transactions under the HSR Act, the Buyer Parties will: (i) contest and resist any such Actions and seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Government Order that is in effect that prohibits, prevents or restricts the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; and (ii) agree to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of assets (including assets of any Subsidiaries of the Buyer Parties) or agree to conduct their businesses (including the businesses of any Subsidiaries of the Buyer Parties) in such a manner as would resolve such objections or Actions.

5.6. The Buyer Parties’ Access to Premises; Information.

5.6.1. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company will, and the Company will cause the Group Companies to, permit the Buyer Parties and their respective Representatives to have reasonable access (at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice) to all officers of the Company and to all premises, properties, books, records (including Tax records), Contracts, financial and operating data and information and documents pertaining to the Group Companies and to make copies of such books, records, Contracts, data, information and documents as the Buyer Parties and their respective Representatives may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer Parties are not permitted to have access to such materials to the extent that it would require the Group Companies to disclose information in a manner that would cause forfeiture of attorney-client privilege or conflict with any confidentiality obligations to which any Group Company is bound. No Group Company or Seller makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any information (if any) provided pursuant to this Section 5.6.1, and no Buyer Party will rely on the accuracy of any such information, in each case, other than as expressly set forth in the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article 3 (as modified by the Schedules), in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the information provided pursuant to this Section 5.6.1 will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Buyer Party will contact any employees (other than officers of the Company), customers, business partners, suppliers or any other Persons with whom any Group Company transacts business (directly or indirectly) without the Company’s prior written consent.

5.6.2. The Company will prepare and furnish to the Buyer Parties, promptly after becoming available and in any event within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group Companies, and the related unaudited consolidated statement of income, cash flow and changes in unitholders’ equity of the Group Companies (the “Update Financials”) for each month following the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date through the Closing Date.

5.7. Notice of Developments. From the date of the Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company will give the Buyer Parties reasonably prompt written notice upon becoming aware of, to the Company’s Knowledge, any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of, or material inaccuracy in, any of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement.

5.8. Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, neither the Seller Parties nor the Company will (and the Seller Parties and the Company will not permit their respective Affiliates to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their and their Affiliates’ Representatives not to) directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to, or enter into or consummate any transaction relating to, the acquisition of any equity interests in any Group Company or any merger, recapitalization, leveraged dividend, share exchange, sale of substantial Assets (other than sales of inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business) or any similar transaction or alternative to the Contemplated Transactions or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner, any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Neither of the Seller Parties will vote its respective equity securities in favor of any such acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise. The Seller Parties and the Company will notify the Buyer Parties immediately if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing (whether solicited or unsolicited). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8, the Company may issue Equity Interests to, and discuss issuing Equity Interests to, employees and independent contractors of the Group Companies, in each case in the Ordinary Course of Business, and Fresenius may acquire Class B Units pursuant to the terms of the Equity Grant Agreements outstanding on the date hereof; provided, however, that any such issuances of Equity Interests of the Company or acquisitions of Class B Units by Fresenius are made in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.

5.9. Expenses; HSR Act Filing Fees. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however that all Company Transaction Expenses will be borne by the Sellers as contemplated by Section 2.9.7. At or prior to the Closing, the Company will cause to be paid and satisfied in full any consent or similar fee required to be paid in connection with obtaining any consent required to be set forth on Schedule 3.3 or Schedule 3.4. Any fees or expenses incurred in connection with the filings made pursuant to the HSR Act and under any other applicable antitrust, competition, or trade regulation will be borne 50% by Holdco I and 50% by the Company.

5.10. Confidentiality. The Buyer Parties acknowledge that the information provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions is subject to the terms of the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement between Summit Partners, L.P. and Sound Inpatient Physicians, Inc., dated November 16, 2017 (as modified by the Letter of Intent among Summit Partners, L.P., the Company and Fresenius dated as of January 13, 2018, as amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, except that such information may be disclosed in connection with the marketing and syndication of the Debt Financing subject to customary confidentiality arrangements. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement will terminate. By executing this Agreement and/or such Seller’s Letter of Transmittal, each Seller hereby agrees with the Buyer Parties that for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, such Seller will not, and that such Seller will cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Holdco II, disclose or use any Sound Confidential Information; provided, that this restriction will not apply to (a) disclosures made by a then-current employee of a Group Company in the performance of such employee’s employment duties in the Ordinary Course of Business, (b) disclosures required by applicable Legal Requirements so long as the applicable Seller, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, gives Holdco II prior written notice of such disclosure and minimizes the disclosure to only that portion of the Sound Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and (c) disclosures made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions. For purposes of this Section 5.10, “Sound Confidential Information” means proprietary or confidential information of a Group Company involving or relating to the Business, excluding any information that is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a violation of this Section 5.10.

5.11. Publicity. No public announcement or disclosure will be made by any party with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of the Buyer Parties and the Sellers’ Representative (which in each case will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 5.11 will not prohibit (a) any private disclosure by any prospective provider of the Financing in the ordinary course to any such Person’s representatives, potential investors or participants, so long as each such recipient is under an obligation to keep such disclosed information confidential, (b) any disclosure required by any applicable Legal Requirements (in which case the disclosing party will provide the other parties with the opportunity to review in advance the disclosure), (c) any disclosure made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions and (d) any disclosure by a Buyer Party to report and disclose the status of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions in the Ordinary Course of Business to its Affiliates and/or their respective investors; provided, that each Buyer Party and its respective Affiliates and their respective affiliated funds may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Group Companies (including its and their performance and improvements, but not the price paid for the Group Companies unless the recipients are subject to a confidentiality agreement) in connection with the Buyer Parties’ or their respective Affiliates’ or their respective affiliated funds’ fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities.

5.12. Financing Activities.

5.12.1. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, and taking into account the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period, Holdco I will use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to (a) arrange and consummate the Financing as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters (including, as necessary, any “flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or any related fee letter), (b) maintain in effect the commitment for the Financing set forth in the Commitment Letters, subject to amendments, modifications and replacements permitted hereunder, (c) negotiate, execute and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including, as necessary, any “flex” terms contained in the Commitment Letters or any related fee letter) and on other terms and conditions that are not less favorable to Holdco I (as determined by Holdco I in good faith) than the terms contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter in effect on the date hereof and that would not (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to be funded on the Closing Date unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or (ii) impose new or additional conditions precedent, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions precedent, to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) cause all or any portion of the Debt Financing to be unavailable on a date on which the Closing is otherwise required to occur pursuant to Section 2.2, (B) prevent the funding of the Debt Financing at the Closing or (C) adversely affect the ability of Holdco I to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto (the items described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Restricted Financing Commitment Amendments”) (provided that (x) the existence or exercise of any “flex” terms will not constitute a Restricted Financing Commitment Amendment and (y) Holdco I may amend or modify, or waive any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver is not a Restricted Financing Commitment Amendment, it being understood and agreed that any amendment or modification to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents and similar entities will not be a Restricted Financing Commitment Amendment), (d) satisfy and cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis, all conditions applicable to, and within the control of, Holdco I in the Commitment Letters, and (e) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter or, in the event that the Debt Financing is unavailable, solely at Holdco I’s option, arrange for the Strategic Investor or one of its Affiliates to provide the Debt Financing (provided that such alternative Debt Financing by the Strategic Investor or one of its Affiliates will be completed (i) on the same terms as the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (without giving effect to any “flex” provisions) and (ii) within five (5) Business Days of receipt by the Buyer Parties of the written notice contemplated by Section 8.1.6(c)), if and to the extent necessary to obtain the Debt Financing contemplated thereby. Promptly after receipt thereof, Holdco I will provide the Sellers’ Representative with copies of any amendment or modification of the Commitment Letters.

5.12.2. In the event that all conditions to the Debt Financing have been satisfied (other than the availability of the Equity Financing), Holdco I will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Debt Financing Sources to fund, on or prior to the date on which the

Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.2, the Debt Financing required to consummate the Closing.

5.12.3. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any applicable “flex” terms contained in Debt Commitment Letter or any related fee letter) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Holdco I will use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative debt financing from alternative debt financing sources, in an amount sufficient to pay all obligations of Holdco I hereunder that are required to be paid on the Closing Date and on terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto) that are not less favorable (in the aggregate) to Holdco I (as determined by Holdco I in good faith) than the terms contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter in effect on the date hereof, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, but in no event later than the date the Buyer Parties are required to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 2.2. Holdco I will promptly provide the Sellers’ Representative with a copy of any such new financing commitment letters with respect to any alternative debt financing. For purposes of this Agreement, after the date hereof, (a) references to the “Debt Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by Section 5.12.1 or this Section 5.12.3, and (b) references to the “Debt Commitment Letter” will include such documents as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by Section 5.12.1 or this Section 5.12.3.

5.12.4. Holdco I will not permit any amendment, modification or waiver, in each case, constituting a Restricted Financing Commitment Amendment to be made to the Debt Commitment Letter without obtaining the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative.

5.12.5. Upon the request of the Sellers’ Representative, Holdco I will keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed with respect to material activity concerning the status of the Debt Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Holdco I will notify the Sellers’ Representative promptly if at any time prior to the Closing Date: (a) the Commitment Letters expire or are validly terminated or repudiated for any reason; (b) Holdco I obtains knowledge of any material breach or material default, or any threatened (in writing) material breach or material default, by any party to the Commitment Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Commitment Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing; or (c) Holdco I no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on substantially the terms and conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letters.

5.12.6. Nothing in this Section 5.12 or any other provision of this Agreement will require, and in no event will the “reasonable best efforts” of Holdco I be deemed or construed to require, Holdco I to (a) seek or accept Debt Financing on terms materially less favorable in the aggregate to Holdco I than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including, if necessary, any related “flex” terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or any related fee letter) provided on the date of this Agreement, or (b) waive any term or condition of this Agreement. In the event Holdco I is required

pursuant to this Section 5.12 to provide any information that is subject to any legal privilege, Holdco I may withhold disclosure of such information.

5.12.7. While the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Debt Financing is not a condition to the Buyer Parties’ obligations hereunder, from the date hereof until the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8), subject to the limitations set forth below, the Company will, and the Company will cause the Group Companies to, and will instruct their Representatives to, cooperate with Holdco I as reasonably requested by Holdco I in connection with Holdco I’s arrangement of the Debt Financing; provided, that nothing herein will require such cooperation to the extent that it would unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Group Companies. Such cooperation will include: (a) making appropriate Representatives of the Group Companies reasonably available, with appropriate advance notice, for participation in rating agency meetings and bank meetings and other meetings with the Debt Financing Sources and any actual or prospective lenders in connection with the Debt Financing; (b) providing reasonable assistance in the preparation of confidential information memoranda, materials for rating agency presentations and lender presentations, business projections or other marketing documents necessary for, or customarily used to arrange, transactions similar to the Debt Financing, and identifying any portion of the information included in the foregoing that constitutes material, non-public information; (c) providing a customary authorization letter with respect to confidential information memoranda and consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Debt Financing; (d) facilitating (i) the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral and (ii) the preparation, execution and delivery of any definitive financing documents and certificates, as may be reasonably requested by Holdco I or the Debt Financing Sources, including obtaining releases of existing encumbrances; provided, that any obligations and releases of encumbrances contained in all such documents and certificates will be subject to the occurrence of the Closing; (e) furnishing all documentation and other information required by any Governmental Authority under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations requested in writing at least eight (8) Business Days prior to the Closing at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing, but in each case, solely as relating to the Group Companies; (f) cooperating in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document relating to the Debt Financing to the extent satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, or is within the control of, the Group Companies; (g) obtaining a certificate of the chief financial officer or person performing similar functions of the Company in the form attached to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to solvency matters; and (h) obtaining copies of such other pertinent financial and operating data, and other customary information, with respect to the Group Companies as is reasonably requested by Holdco I or the Debt Financing Sources and is customarily required for completion of debt financings similar to the Debt Financing, including the Required Bank Information. The Company hereby consents to the use of logos used by the Group Companies in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Group Companies or the reputation or goodwill of the Group Companies. Nothing in this Section 5.12 will require (A) any Representative of the Group Companies to deliver any

certificate, other than any authorization letters delivered pursuant to clause (c) above (unless such Representative is only required to sign in his or her capacity as a Representative and not in any individual capacity) or opinion or take any other action that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such Representative or (B) Persons who are directors (or equivalent) of the Group Companies prior to the Closing (in their capacity as such) to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the Debt Financing (other than any Person who is continuing as a director (or equivalent) of the Group Companies following the Closing, who will not be required to execute, deliver or enter into or perform any agreement, document or instrument, or adopt any resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments, pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing).

5.12.8. Notwithstanding Section 5.12.7 or anything else in this Agreement, whether or not the Closing occurs:

(a) except to the extent subject to reimbursement by Holdco I pursuant to Section 5.12.8(b), in no event will the Company or Sellers’ Representative be required to bear any cost or expense, pay any fee or incur any liability in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing; and

(b) Holdco I will promptly, upon request by the Company or Sellers’ Representative, reimburse the Company and Sellers’ Representative for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates and Representatives in connection with their cooperation in arranging the Debt Financing, and except to the extent arising from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misrepresentation of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, Holdco I will indemnify and hold harmless the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates and Representatives from and against all losses, damages, claims, or out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Company in connection with their cooperation in arranging the Debt Financing and any information (other than historical information relating to the Group Companies or other information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Group Companies) used in connection therewith.

5.13. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of either the Sellers’ Representative or a Buyer Party, each of the parties hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out and/or evidence the Contemplated Transactions.

5.14. Releases. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller Party and each other Seller who executes a Letter of Transmittal (each, a “Releasing Party”) hereby releases, remises and forever discharges any and all claims that it has had, now has or might have against the Group Companies or the Buyer Parties and their respective Affiliates (to the extent related to the Business or to the Buyer Parties’ ownership of the Group Companies), and each of the current

and former managers, directors, officers, employees, partners, members, successors and assigns of the foregoing, arising prior to the Closing, except for (a) claims pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (b) any right to or claim for indemnification that such Releasing Party may have under the organizational documents of the Group Companies, or otherwise arising under applicable Legal Requirements or the Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.16.1, (c) any right to or claim for benefits that such Releasing Party may have under the terms of any Company Plans or any of the agreements described in Section 3.17.1(k)(i) or (ii) or (d) any unpaid Compensation. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to prohibit a Releasing Party from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a comparable state or local agency; provided, however, that each Releasing Party hereby agrees to waive its right to recover monetary damages or other individual relief in any such charge, investigation or proceeding or any related complaint or lawsuit filed by such Releasing Party or by anyone else on such Releasing Party’s behalf. Effective as of the Closing, the Surviving LLC hereby releases, remises and forever discharges, and will cause each Group Company to release, remise and forever discharge, any and all claims that is has had, now has or might have against the Sellers arising prior to the Closing, except for (i) claims pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, including claims for indemnification pursuant to Article 10 and (ii) claims related to intentional fraud, embezzlement, larceny or other criminal activity.

5.15. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

5.15.1. Each Seller Party and each other Seller listed on Schedule 1(g)(i) or Schedule 1(g)(ii) who executes a Letter of Transmittal agrees that, during the Restricted Period, such Seller will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage in (except on behalf of the Group Companies) or compete with, or undertake any planning to engage in or compete with, all or any portion of the Hospitalist Business, within twenty-five miles of any medical facility at which any Group Company currently provides, or is in active planning to provide as of the Closing Date, services in connection with the Hospitalist Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.15, the following will not constitute, solely by reason thereof, a violation on the part of such Seller of Section 5.15: (a) a Seller’s passive ownership of three percent (3%) or less of the equity securities of a publicly traded company; (b) any acquisition by a Seller of a business (the “Acquired Business”), and continued operation of such Acquired Business, a portion of which consists of the Hospitalist Business, as long as the Acquired Business, at the time it was acquired by the applicable Seller, earned less than ten percent (10%) of its aggregate revenue from the Hospitalist Business; and (c) any conduct of the Hospitalist Business by a Seller at any time to the extent the Hospitalist Business services are being provided solely to Affiliates of such Seller; provided, that with respect to the foregoing clause (b), if Fresenius or any of its Affiliates acquires any business during the Restricted Period that, at the closing of the acquisition of such Acquired Business, derives more than ten percent (15)% of its aggregate revenue from the Hospitalist Business, Fresenius (or its Affiliate) will promptly divest such business and, in any event, no more than one (1) year after such acquisition, and the Group Companies will have a right of first refusal to purchase such divested business on substantially the same terms and conditions as the proposed divestiture. Fresenius will provide written notice to Holdco II stating the

material terms and conditions of the proposed divestiture, including proposed purchase price, and Holdco II will have a period of up to fifteen (15) Business Days to indicate its interest in acquiring such divested business which will remain subject to customary diligence and negotiation and execution of transaction documents in relation thereto. If Holdco II elects in writing not to pursue the purchase of such divested business or otherwise fails to respond to the written notice delivered pursuant hereto after fifteen (15) Business Days, Fresenius may sell such divested business at any time within nine (9) months following such period to a third party on terms and conditions no more favorable to the third party than those specified in the notice delivered by Fresenius to Holdco II and thereafter Fresenius may not sell such divested business without first following the procedures set forth in this Section 5.15.1.

5.15.2. Each Seller Party and each other Seller listed on Schedule 1(g)(i) or Schedule 1(g)(ii) who executes a Letter of Transmittal agrees that, during the Restricted Period, such Seller will not, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit or encourage any Person who has been a customer, vendor, supplier, independent contractor or other business partner of any of the Group Companies at any time within the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date to terminate or diminish its, his or her relationship with any of the Group Companies, (b) seek to persuade any Person who has been a prospective customer or client of any of the Group Companies at any time within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date to obtain the services of the Hospitalist Business from anyone else other than the Group Companies or (c) hire or engage, or solicit for hiring or engagement, any employee of any of the Group Companies who was such at any time within the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, or seek to persuade any such employee to discontinue employment with any of the Group Companies or with the Buyer Parties or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following will constitute a violation on the part of a Seller of this Section 5.15.2: (i) a general solicitation by a Seller that is not directed at any of the Persons described in this Section 5.15.2; (ii) hiring an employee of a Group Company who responds to a permitted general solicitation; and (iii) hiring an employee of a Group Company at least six (6) months after such employee ceased to be an employee of a Group Company; provided that the actions in the preceding clauses (ii) and (iii) will not be permitted with respect to any employee of the Group Companies set forth on Schedule 5.15.2.

5.15.3. Each Seller Party and each other Seller listed on Schedule 1(g)(i) or Schedule 1(g)(ii) who executes a Letter of Transmittal agrees that (a) his, her or its agreement to the covenants contained in this Section 5.15 is a material condition of the Buyer Parties’ willingness to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Contemplated Transactions, (b) the covenants contained in this Section 5.15 are necessary to protect the good will, confidential information, trade secrets and other legitimate interests of the Group Companies and the Buyer Parties, (c) in addition and not in the alternative to any other remedies available to it, the Buyer Parties will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by such Seller of any such covenants, without having to post bond, together with an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder, (d) the Restricted Period applicable to such Seller will be tolled, and will not run, during the

period of any breach by such Seller of any such covenants, (e) no claimed breach of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements will operate to extinguish such Seller’s obligation to comply with this Section 5.15, and (f) in the event that the final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction declares any term or provision of this Section 5.15 to be invalid or unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, that provision will be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law.

5.16. Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

5.16.1. The Buyer Parties agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of each Group Company, as provided in any Group Company’s organizational documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof and set forth on Schedule 5.16.1, with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, will survive the Contemplated Transactions and will continue in full force and effect, and the Group Companies will advance expenses in connection with such indemnification, in each case, to the extent provided, as of the date hereof, in such Group Company’s organizational documents or other applicable agreements otherwise in effect as of the date hereof and set forth on Schedule 5.16.1. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Group Companies’ organizational documents will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors or officers of any Group Company, unless such modification is required by applicable Legal Requirements.

5.16.2. Prior to the Closing, the Seller Parties will cause the Company to, and the Company will, at the Sellers’ expense, purchase and maintain in effect, without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by any Group Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing that is at least substantially equal to the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided, that the Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date.

5.16.3. The directors and officers of each Group Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 5.16 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.16. This Section 5.16 will survive the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and will be binding on all successors and assigns of the Buyer Parties and the Group Companies.

5.16.4. If any of the Buyer Parties, the Group Companies or any of their successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or

(b) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of such Buyer Party or the Group Companies will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.16.

5.17. Employee Benefits.

5.17.1. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the Buyer Parties will, or will cause the applicable Group Company to, provide those employees who are employed by the Group Companies on the Closing Date (the “Continuing Employees”), while employed by a Buyer Party or any of the Group Companies, with (a) base compensation that is no less favorable to that provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (b) retirement, health and welfare and paid time-off benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those being provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing.

5.17.2. The Buyer Parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the Buyer Parties will grant (or cause to be granted) to each Continuing Employee credit for any service with the Group Companies earned prior to the Closing Date (a) for eligibility and vesting purposes and (b) for purposes of determining the level of vacation benefits under any benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by a Buyer Party or its Subsidiaries or any of the Affiliated Practices in which Continuing Employees participate (other than any equity or equity-based compensation, change-in-control or similar plan, program, or arrangement) (the “New Plans”) unless duplication of benefits would result. In addition, the Buyer Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive or cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans and (ii) cause any deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any Continuing Employee (or dependent or beneficiary thereof) under any Company Plan in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses after the Closing Date under any New Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs. The Group Companies will provide to the Buyer Parties such information as is reasonably requested by the Buyer Parties in order to comply with their obligations under this Section 5.17, including information relating to each employee’s years of service with the Group Companies as of the Closing Date and a schedule of the amount paid in respect of deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses by each employee of the Group Companies for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

5.17.3. Nothing in this Section 5.17 or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.17. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement will create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former director, officer, employee, independent contractor or other service provider of any of the Group Companies in respect of continued employment or service or any other matter. This Agreement does not (a) establish, amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or any

benefit plan, program or arrangement of any Buyer Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any Affiliated Practice, (b) require any Buyer Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of the Group Companies to continue any Company Plan, (c) prevent the amendment, modification or termination of any employee benefit plan, or (d) limit or restrict the ability of any Buyer Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of the Group Companies to terminate the employment or engagement of any director, officer, employee, independent contractor or other service provider at any time.

5.18. Records. With respect to the financial and other books and records and minute books of the Group Companies relating to matters on or prior to the Closing Date: (a) for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, no Buyer Party or Group Company will cause or permit their destruction or disposal without first offering to surrender them to the Sellers’ Representative; and (b) if reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative, Holdco II will allow Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives reasonable access to such books and records during regular business hours upon reasonable advance written notice to Holdco II, except to the extent that giving access to Sellers’ Representative to particular records would (i) violate applicable Legal Requirements or (ii) violate the attorney-client privilege, other legal privilege or contractual confidentiality obligations.

5.19. Release of Guaranties. After the Closing, the Buyer Parties will (i) cause SIP to perform its obligations under its lease of its Tacoma office space as described in more detail in Schedule 5.19 and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to have Fresenius released from the guaranty described in Schedule 5.19.

5.20. Put Unit Purchase Agreements. The Buyer Parties will cause the Group Companies to provide copies of the consolidated audited financial statements of the Group Companies for the years ending December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 to Fresenius as soon as such financial statements are available. In addition, the Buyer Parties will cause the Group Companies to promptly provide to Fresenius such additional financial information about the Group Companies for those years as Fresenius may reasonably request in order to be able to comply, and Fresenius will use such information solely for the purposes of complying, with its obligations to calculate the amounts needed for the Put-True-Up Certificates contemplated by the Put Purchase Agreements listed in Schedule 5.20. For the avoidance of doubt, the consolidated audited financial statements of the Group Companies and any additional financial information provided to Fresenius under this Section 5.20 is Sound Confidential Information and Fresenius will be bound by the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 5.10 with respect to such information.

5.21. Section 280G. The Group Companies will, prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain stockholder approval (in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (“Section 280G”)) of any payments or benefits paid or payable by any of the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates that would, absent stockholder approval, reasonably be expected to be excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G (“Section 280G Payments”). Prior to such stockholder approval, the Group Companies will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers from any disqualified individuals (within the meaning of Section 280G), such that unless such payments and benefits to such individuals are approved by

the stockholders to the extent and in the manner required under Section 280G, no such payments and benefits will be paid or provided. Prior to the Closing Date, the Group Companies will deliver to the Buyer Parties written certification that (a) the requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any Section 280G Payments that were subject to the stockholder vote, (b) the stockholder approval of Section 280G Payments was not obtained and, as a consequence, that such payments and benefits will not be paid or provided to any affected individual who had duly executed a waiver of those payments and benefits to the extent that such payments and benefits would cause any amounts to constitute Section 280G Payments, and/or (c) commercially reasonable efforts were used, however, the Group Companies were unable to obtain waivers or the requisite stockholder approval. Copies of all disclosures, waivers, consents, and stockholder voting materials used in connection with the foregoing will be provided to the Buyer Parties at least ten (10) days in advance of distribution to stockholders or the disqualified individuals, as applicable, for the Buyer Parties’ review and approval.

5.22. Joinders and Pre-Closing Repurchase. Prior to the Closing, Fresenius will cause each of the Fresenius Managers to execute and deliver a Joinder to the Company and the Buyer Parties. Prior to the Closing, Fresenius will, and will cause each of the Fresenius Managers who have not executed this Agreement to (following such Fresenius Manger’s execution of a Joinder), enter into a unit repurchase agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (each, a “Repurchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Repurchase Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company will repurchase from Fresenius and each of the Fresenius Managers immediately prior to the Closing all of the Fresenius Class B Units, free and clear of all Encumbrances except as are imposed by applicable securities laws or arising under the organizational documents of the Company.

5.23. Invention Assignment Agreements. Prior to Closing, the Group Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer Parties, from all employees of the Group Companies who have developed Group Company Technology and Intellectual Property Rights that assign to a Group Company all such employees’ respective rights to such Group Company Technology and such Intellectual Property Rights.

10.3. Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of written notice of the assertion of a claim by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) that would reasonably be expected to give rise to an Indemnity Claim against the Sellers under this Article 10, the Indemnified Person will give written notice thereof to the Sellers’ Representative; provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying the Sellers’ Representative will relieve the Sellers from any obligation under this Article 10, except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices the Sellers.

10.3.1. Assumption of Defense. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Person, the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Sellers’ Representative by written notice to the Indemnified Person delivered to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative will not have the right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim on behalf of an Indemnified Person and such Indemnified Person will have the right to retain, at the Sellers’ expense (each Seller to be responsible for its Pro Rata Portion of such expense), one separate law firm to defend such Third Party Claim on behalf of such Indemnified Person if (a) the Indemnified Person reasonably concludes upon the advice of counsel that there exists any actual or potential conflict of interest between the Sellers’ Representative and the Indemnified Person with respect to the defense of the Third Party Claim, (b) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person or involves damages other than money damages, (c) the Third Party Claim relates to or otherwise arises in connection with Taxes or any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action or (d) the Sellers’ Representative fails to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. Subject to the immediately preceding proviso, should the Sellers’ Representative so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person will have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, in each case at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Sellers’ Representative, it being understood that the Sellers’ Representative will control such defense. If the Sellers’ Representative chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Persons will cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof to the extent reasonably requested to do so. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification hereunder with respect to item 5 or 6 on Schedule 10.1 (the “Earn-out Claims”), (i) the Sellers’ Representative shall have the unrestricted right to assume the defense of such Earn-Out Claim as long as it is actively and diligently conducting such defense, (ii) without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, no Group Company or Buyer Party shall become involved in discussions with, or correspond with, the applicable third party about any Earn-out Claim, and (iii) the Indemnified Person with respect to such Earn-out Claim shall not have the right to participate in the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative is not permitted to enter into a settlement of any Earn-out Claim if such settlement (x)

involves an admission of wrongdoing by any Group Company or Buyer Party, (y) includes dollar amounts not paid entirely by the Sellers or (z) involves relief other than monetary damages, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person. If there is a non-incidental breach of the provisions in the preceding sentence, the Sellers’ obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for the applicable Earn-out Claim under this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

10.3.2. Limitations on Control. If the Sellers’ Representative assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.3.1, (a) the Indemnified Person will not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (b) the Indemnified Person will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim consisting solely of monetary damages and that (i) by its terms obligates the Sellers to pay the full amount of the liability arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, such Third-Party Claim and the Sellers make such payment in full (irrespective of any limitations contained herein), (ii) unconditionally and fully releases the Indemnified Person from and against all liabilities and obligations arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, such Third Party Claim and (iii) does not impose any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person nor require any admission or acknowledgment of liability or fault of the Indemnified Person.

10.4. No Circular Recovery. Each Seller Party hereby agrees, and each of the Sellers by executing such Seller’s Letter of Transmittal agrees, that it will not make any claim for indemnification, contribution or advancement of expenses against any of the Buyer Parties or any Group Company by reason of the fact that such Seller was a controlling person, director, employee or Representative of a Group Company or was serving as such for another Person at the request of a Group Company (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any Legal Requirement, organizational document, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by an Indemnified Person against any Seller under this Agreement or the facts and circumstances underlying any such claim brought by an Indemnified Party or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions. With respect to any claim brought by an Indemnified Person against any Seller under this Agreement or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions, each Seller expressly waives any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against any Group Company with respect to any amounts owed by such Seller pursuant to this Article 10 or otherwise.

10.5. Knowledge and Investigation. The right of any Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 will not be affected by any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing.

10.6. Remedies Cumulative. The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Article 10 are cumulative, and each Indemnified Person will have the right in any particular

circumstance, in its sole discretion, to enforce any provision of this Article 10 without regard to the availability of a remedy under any other provision of this Article 10 or otherwise.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1. Survival. None of the representations and warranties of any party contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any certificate to be delivered under Article 6 or Article 7 will survive the Closing. None of the agreements, obligations or covenants of any party required to be performed by such party before the Closing will survive the Closing. Following the Closing, except for (a) Fraud, (b) claims for indemnification pursuant to Article 10 and (c) claims relating to the covenants described in the next sentence or covenants under any Ancillary Agreement to be performed after Closing, each party hereto waives and releases any remedies or claims that it may have against the other parties with respect to the matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or relating to the Contemplated Transactions. Unless otherwise indicated, agreements, obligations and covenants set forth in this Agreement which by their terms are required to be performed after the Closing will survive the Closing until they have been performed or satisfied.

Each of the parties to this Agreement may specify a different address or facsimile number by giving notice in accordance with this Section 11.1 to each of the other parties hereto.

11.3. Succession and Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiary. Subject to the immediately following sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a party hereto for all purposes hereof. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of his, her or its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties (with the Sellers’ Representative acting for all of the Seller Parties); provided, however, that either of the Buyer Parties may (a) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or (b) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that no such assignment will relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assignees and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and such successors and assignees, any legal or equitable rights hereunder, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Company Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or other arrangement of any of the Group Companies, the Buyer Parties or any of their Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Debt Financing Source is an express third party beneficiary of Section 8.3.4, the last two sentences of this Section 11.3, the last sentence of Section 11.4, the proviso contained in the last sentence of Section 11.11, Section 11.12.3 and Section 11.17. In addition, the Company Related Parties agree that no Debt Financing Source will be subject to liability or claims (whether legal or equitable, arising under contract, tort or otherwise) by Company Related Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with the Debt Financing, or the performance of services by such Debt Financing Sources with respect to the foregoing; provided, however, that this sentence will not apply, for avoidance of doubt, to any Buyer Related Party and their respective rights and remedies under the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive documents related to the Debt Financing; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement will limit the liability or obligations of the Debt Financing Sources to any Buyer Party and its Affiliates under the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive documents related to the Debt Financing.

11.4. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Holdco I (acting on behalf of the Buyer Parties), the Company and the Sellers’ Representative (acting on behalf of all of the Sellers), or, in the case of a waiver, by the party (or in the case of any or all of the Seller Parties, by the Sellers’ Representative) against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by any party of any breach or violation of, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default of, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of

any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 8.3.4, the last two sentences of Section 11.3, the last sentence of this Section 11.4, the proviso contained in the last sentence of Section 11.11, Section 11.12.3 and Section 11.17 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, waiver or other modification thereto would modify the substance of Section 8.3.4, the last two sentences of Section 11.3, the last sentence of this Section 11.4, the proviso contained in the last sentence of Section 11.11, Section 11.12.3 or Section 11.17) will not be amended or waived in a manner that is material and adverse to any Debt Financing Source (in its capacity as such) unless the Debt Financing Sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter that have consent rights over amendments to this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter have consented thereto.

11.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any documents, instruments and certificates explicitly referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements (including any draft agreements) with respect thereto, whether written or oral, none of which will be used as evidence of the parties’ intent. In addition, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that all prior drafts of this Agreement contain attorney work product and will in all respects be subject to the foregoing sentence.

11.6. Schedules. Nothing in any Schedule attached hereto will be adequate to modify, qualify or disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement unless such Schedule identifies the modification, qualification or exception and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. No modifications, qualifications or exceptions to any representations or warranties disclosed on one Schedule will constitute a modification, qualification or exception to any other representations or warranties made in this Agreement unless the substance of such also is disclosed as provided herein on each such other applicable Schedule, a specific cross-reference to a disclosure on another Schedule is made or the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Schedules may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of the Buyer Parties, (b) the disclosure by the Company of any matter in the Schedules will not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by the Company that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that the matter is material and (c) the disclosure by the Company of any matter in the Schedules will not be deemed to constitute an admission to any third party concerning such matter or an admission of default or breach under any agreement or document.

11.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission, pdf or other means of electronic signature) in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.8. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision

hereof would, under applicable Legal Requirements, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each party hereto intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Legal Requirements and to otherwise give effect to the intent of the parties.

11.9. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.

11.10. Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached or violated, or if there is an inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, covenant or agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached or violated, or in respect of which there is not an inaccuracy, will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party has breached or violated, or there is an inaccuracy in, the first representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

11.11. Governing Law. This Agreement, the negotiation, terms and performance of this Agreement, the rights of the parties under this Agreement, and all Actions arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided, however, that except as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, any suit, action, litigation, proceeding or claim against any Debt Financing Source (whether in law or equity or in contract, tort or otherwise) will be governed, including as to validity, interpretation, and effect, by the laws of the State of New York.

11.12. Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.

11.12.1. Jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware, or if (but only if) such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) for the purpose of any Action between any of the parties hereto arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions or the negotiation, terms or performance hereof or thereof, (b) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, that venue in any Chosen Court is improper, that his, her or its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such Action brought in one of the Chosen Courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum

non conveniens or improper venue, that such Action should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the Chosen Courts, that such Action should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other Action in any other court other than one of the Chosen Courts or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Court and (c) hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such Action other than before one of the Chosen Courts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a party hereto may commence any Action in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the Chosen Courts.

11.12.2. Service of Process. Each party hereto hereby (a) consents to service of process in any Action between any of the parties hereto arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions or the negotiation, terms or performance hereof or thereof, in any manner permitted by Delaware law, (b) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (a) or made by overnight delivery by a nationally recognized courier service at his, her or its address specified pursuant to Section 11.1 will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Action and (c) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) in any such Action any claim that service of process made in accordance with clause (a) or (b) does not constitute good and valid service of process

11.12.3. Financing Sources (Disputes). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto acknowledges and irrevocably agrees (a) that any suit, action, litigation, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving any Debt Financing Source arising out of, or relating to, the Contemplated Transactions, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the county of New York, and any appellate court thereof, (b) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such suit, action or proceeding in any other court, (c) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in Section 11.1 will be effective service of process against it for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, (d) to waive and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court, (e) TO WAIVE AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, LITIGATION, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING and (f) that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law. Nothing in this paragraph will affect or eliminate any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

11.13. Specific Performance.

11.13.1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedies conferred hereby or by law or equity upon a party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, it is accordingly agreed that, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, each party will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by any other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of any other party, in any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief will be granted in connection therewith.

11.13.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereby agree that the Company will be entitled to specific performance of the Buyer Parties’ obligations to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions (including via enforcement of the Equity Commitment Letters) and effect the Closing if, and only if, (a) all conditions in Article 6 have been satisfied (other than those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied and is satisfied at the Closing) at the time the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2, (b) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing and (c) the Company has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then it would take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur.

11.13.3. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the exercise of the Company’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to this Section 11.13 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.2, Section 8.1.5, Section 8.1.6 or Section 8.1.8 and, if applicable, be paid the applicable amounts set forth in Section 8.3; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing and the Buyer Termination Fee.

11.13.4. Each of the parties hereby waives (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under applicable Legal Requirements to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

11.13.5. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is explicitly agreed that, prior to the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, specific performance, injunctive and/or other

equitable relief, to the extent expressly permitted by this Section 11.13, will provide the sole and exclusive remedy arising out of or in connection with any breach or alleged breach by any party under this Agreement.

11.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS OR THE NEGOTIATION, TERMS OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF OR THEREOF, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREE TO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING AND ANY SUCH PROCEEDING WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

11.15. Provisions Concerning the Sellers’ Representative.

11.15.1. Appointment. By executing this Agreement and/or such Seller’s Letter of Transmittal, each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Fresenius as the sole and exclusive agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Seller for all purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, with full and exclusive power and authority to act on such Seller’s behalf. The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder is coupled with an interest, will be irrevocable and will not be affected by the death, incapacity, insolvency, bankruptcy, illness or other inability to act of any Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Sellers, to:

(a) in connection with the Closing, execute and receive all documents, instruments, certificates, statements and agreements on behalf of and in the name of each Seller necessary to effectuate the Closing and consummate the Contemplated Transactions;

(b) receive and give all notices and service of process, make all filings, enter into all Contracts, make all decisions, bring, prosecute, defend, settle, compromise or otherwise resolve all claims, disputes and Actions, authorize payments in respect of any such claims, disputes or Actions, and take all other actions, in each case, with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2.10 or Article 9 or any other Actions directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions;

(c) execute and deliver, should it elect to do so in its good faith discretion, on behalf of the Sellers, any amendment to, or waiver of, any term or

provision of this Agreement, or any consent, acknowledgment or release relating to this Agreement; and

(d) take all other actions permitted or required to be taken by or on behalf of the Sellers under this Agreement and exercise any and all rights that the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement.

11.15.2. Liability. The Sellers’ Representative will not be held liable by any of the Sellers for actions or omissions in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the power and authority of the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, except in the case of the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice. The Sellers will severally indemnify (in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions) the Sellers’ Representative from any losses arising out of its serving as the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, except for losses arising out of or caused by the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative is serving in its capacity as such solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of the Sellers hereunder, and the Buyer Parties agree that they will not look to the personal assets of the Sellers’ Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Sellers hereunder.

11.15.3. Reliance on Appointment; Successor Sellers’ Representative. The Buyer Parties may rely on the appointment and authority of the Sellers’ Representative granted pursuant to this Section 11.15 until receipt of written notice of the appointment of a successor Sellers’ Representative made in accordance with this Section 11.15. In so doing, the Buyer Parties may rely on any and all actions taken by and decisions of the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among any of the Seller Parties, the other Sellers, or the Sellers’ Representative with respect to any such action or decision without any Liability to, or obligation to inquire of, the Seller Parties, any other Seller, the Sellers’ Representative or any other Person. Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative will constitute a decision of all the Sellers and will be final and binding upon each of the Sellers. At any time after the Closing, with or without cause, by a written instrument that is signed in writing by holders of at least a majority of the Class A Units and Class B Units immediately prior to the Closing and delivered to the Buyer Parties, the Sellers may remove and designate a successor Sellers’ Representative; provided, that such successor Sellers’ Representative must be reasonably acceptable to the Buyer Parties. If the Sellers’ Representative will at any time resign or otherwise cease to function in its capacity as such for any reason whatsoever, and no successor that is reasonably acceptable to the Buyer Parties is appointed by such Sellers within ten (10) Business Days, then the Buyer Parties will have the right to appoint another Seller to act as the replacement Sellers’ Representative who will serve as described in this Agreement and,

under such circumstances, the Buyer Parties will be entitled to rely on any and all actions taken and decisions made by such replacement Sellers’ Representative.

11.15.4. Sellers Representative Expense Funds. The Sellers’ Representative Expense Funds will be used to pay costs, fees and expenses incurred by or for the benefit of the Sellers on or after the Closing Date. The Sellers will not receive any interest or earnings on the Sellers’ Representative Expense Funds. The Sellers’ Representative will hold the Sellers’ Representative Expense Funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use such funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. For tax purposes, the Sellers’ Representative Expense Funds will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of the Closing. In the event that any amount is owed by the Sellers’ Representative, whether for fees, expense reimbursement or otherwise, that is in excess of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Funds (or after any or all of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Funds have been dispersed to the Sellers), the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to be reimbursed by the Sellers, pro rata, for any such reimbursement obligation.

11.16. Representation of Fresenius and its Affiliates. Each Buyer Party agrees that, following the Closing, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. may serve as counsel to Fresenius and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. prior to the Closing of any Group Company. Each Buyer Party and the Company hereby (a) waive any claim they have or may have that Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation (with such waiver applying solely with respect to Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. having served as counsel to Fresenius and its Affiliates prior to the Closing including in connection with matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) and (b) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between any Buyer Party or any Group Company and Fresenius or any of its Affiliates, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. may represent Fresenius or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to a Buyer Party or a Group Company and even though Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. may have represented a Group Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Each Buyer Party and the Company also further agree that, as to all communications among Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. and the Company and Fresenius or any of Fresenius’ Affiliates and representatives, that relate in any way to the Contemplated Transactions, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Fresenius and may be controlled by Fresenius and will not pass to or be claimed by any Buyer Party or Group Company. In addition, all of the client files and records in the possession of Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A. related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will continue to be property of (and be controlled by) Fresenius, and the Company will not retain any copies of such records or have any access to them.

11.17. Non-Recourse. Except in the case of Fraud, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise but subject to the final sentence of this Section 11.17, this

100

Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, may only be made against, the Persons that are expressly identified as parties in their capacities as parties to this Agreement, and no former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, Debt Financing Source, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of any party, or any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Party”) will have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Contemplated Transactions (including the Debt Financing) or in respect of any representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Except in the case of Fraud, without limiting the rights of any party against the other parties, in no event will any party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover damages from, or exercise remedies against, any Non-Party, in each case, subject to the final sentence of this Section 11.17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.17 will (a) preclude any party to another Ancillary Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees or the Confidentiality Agreement from making any claim thereunder, to the extent permitted therein or (b) limit (i) the liability or obligations of the Debt Financing Sources to any Buyer Party and its Affiliates under the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive documents related to the Debt Financing or (ii) any Buyer Related Party’s rights and remedies under the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive documents related to the Debt Financing.
