(a) From and after the Appointment Date, the Company shall (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, all directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries who have served the Company or its subsidiaries in either capacity at any time during the one year period prior to the Appointment Date (the “Indemnified Persons”) against any costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and disbursements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, (collectively, an “Action”), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or a trustee, custodian, administrator, committeeman or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan established and maintained by the Company or by any subsidiary of the Company, or was serving another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in any of the foregoing capacities at the request of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, on or after the Appointment Date (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions or actions contemplated hereby), and (ii) provide advancement of expenses to the Indemnified Persons in the defense or settlement of any Action to which such Indemnified Person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder or under the Company’s (or any successor’s) certificate of incorporation or bylaws, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), to the fullest extent permitted by the Charter and Bylaws as they presently exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment provides broader indemnification rights or rights of advancement of expenses than the Charter and Bylaws provided prior to such amendment).
(b) Without limitation to Section 2.5(a), from and after the Appointment Date, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, include and cause to be maintained in effect in the Company’s (or any successor’s) certificate of incorporation and bylaws for a period of six years after the Appointment Date, provisions regarding exculpation of liability of directors, and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the Company, that are no less favorable than those contained in the Charter or the Bylaws as of the date of this Agreement.
(c) The Company shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened Action (and in which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Action or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents in writing, and cooperates in the defense of such proceeding or threatened Action.
(d) For a period of six years after the Appointment Date, the Company shall maintain in effect, at no expense to the beneficiaries, the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company for the persons who are covered by such current policies (or substitute policies with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in such existing policies, from insurance carriers with the same or better claims-paying ability ratings as the Company’s current carriers) with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred or existed on or before the Appointment Date, including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums
6
exceed 250% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (such 250% amount, the “Base Premium”); provided, further, if such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Base Premium, the Company shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance for the persons who are covered by the Company’s current policies with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred or existed on or before the Appointment Date, including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby, obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Base Premium.
(e) In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties, rights and other assets to any person, then, and in each such case, the Company as a precondition to such transaction will cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 2.5.

This opinion is being delivered to you at your request in connection with the entry by you and the Company into the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 15, 2010, among the Company, InfuSystem, Inc., First Biomedical Inc, the lenders referred to therein (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”), as previously amended.
In connection with the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, (ii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, (iii) the Settlement Agreement, (iv) the Amendment and (v) such other documents and records as we have deemed appropriate for the purposes of the opinions set forth herein.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed each party to the Settlement Agreement other than the Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has the full power and legal right to execute and deliver and to perform the provisions of the Settlement Agreement to be performed by it.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and to the limitations and qualifications described below, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Settlement Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
2. The Settlement Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary Board action, executed and delivered by the Company. No stockholder action is required to authorize the Settlement Agreement.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Settlement Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, do not and will not conflict with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company or any applicable provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Our opinions expressed above are subject to the following limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:
