(ii) all amounts paid to Seller in excess of $5,000,000 pursuant to this Section 3.2(d)

Section 3.4(b), all personal property, ad valorem or other similar Taxes (not including
income Taxes) levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but
does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the
period subsequent to the Closing Date based on the relative number of days included in such
taxable period through and including the Closing Date and the number of days included in such
taxable period after the Closing Date. Each party shall be solely responsible for income taxes

(reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) outlining all such pre-payments made prior to the Closing
Date. Depending on when Seller delivers the schedule referred to herein, Purchaser shall either

Person, pursuant to any of the so-called “transaction-triggered” or “responsible property
transfer” Environmental Laws.
(f) Seller has provided Purchaser with complete and correct copies of all studies, reports,

country to which the provision or products or services may be restricted by any applicable Law.
5.30 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Seller in reliance
upon Seller’s representation to Parent, which by Seller’s execution of this Agreement, Seller
hereby confirms, that the Purchaser Note #1 and the Purchaser Note #2 to be issued to Seller will
be acquired for investment for the Seller’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Seller has no present intention of
selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this
Agreement, Seller further represents that Seller does not presently have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person
or to any Third Party, with respect to the Purchaser Note #1 or with respect to the Purchaser Note
#2. Seller has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchaser Note #1 or the
Purchaser Note #2.

business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the
-34-
Execution Version
Purchaser Note #1 and the Purchaser Note #2 with Parent’s management and has had an
opportunity to review Parent’s facilities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the
representations and warranties of Parent in Article 6 of this Agreement or the right of
Seller to rely thereon.
5.32 Restricted Securities. Seller understands that each of the Purchaser Note #1 and
the Purchaser Note #2 has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason
of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Seller’s
representations as expressed herein. Seller understands that each of the Purchaser Note #1 and the
Purchaser Note #2 is a “restricted security” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities
laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Seller must hold each of the Purchaser Note #1 and the
Purchaser Note #2 indefinitely unless it is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification
requirements is available. Seller acknowledges that Parent has no obligation to register or
qualify the Purchaser Note #1 or the Purchaser Note #2 for resale. Seller further acknowledges
that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on
various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period
for the Purchaser Note #1 or the Purchaser Note #2, and on requirements relating to Parent which
are outside of Seller’s control, and which Parent is under no obligation and may not be able to
satisfy.
5.33 No Public Market. Seller understands that no public market now exists for the
Purchaser Note #1 or the Purchaser Note #2, and that Parent has made no assurances that a public
market will ever exist for the Purchaser Note #1 or the Purchaser Note #2.

FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO
SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”
(b) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are
applicable to the Parent Note represented by the certificate so legended.

-35-

warranties or other statements or information of Seller contained herein or therein (in light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

corresponding to the applicable section of this Article 6 (collectively, the
“Purchaser’s Disclosure Schedules”), Purchaser and Parent jointly and severally hereby
represent and warrant as follows (it being understood that the disclosure of an item in one section
of the Purchaser’s Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to modify both (i) the representations and
warranties contained in the section of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number, and
(ii) any other representation and warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement to the extent that a
cross-reference to such other representation and warranty exists or to any other section of the
Purchaser’s Disclosure Schedules to the extent that it is readily apparent that the disclosure is
applicable):
6.1 Organization and Good Standing. Schedule 6.1 sets forth each of Purchaser
and Parent’s jurisdictions of incorporation and each state or other jurisdiction in which each is
qualified to do business. Parent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good

company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation.
Each of Purchaser and Parent (a) is duly qualified to conduct business and is in corporate and tax
good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, the
operation of its assets or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification
except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed or in good
standing would not be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the ability of Purchaser
or Parent to perform its respective obligations hereunder or consummate the Contemplated
Transactions in accordance with the terms hereof, and (b) has full power and authority required to
own, lease and operate its assets and to carry on its business it is as now being conducted.
Purchaser has delivered to Seller true and complete copies of its Certificate of Formation and
Limited Liability Company Agreement (operating agreement). Parent has not amended the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on June 11, 2008, nor
the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Parent adopted as of June 20, 2005. Purchaser has not

Liability Company Agreement dated November 20, 2006.

execution, delivery and performance by each of Purchaser and Parent of each of Purchaser Documents,
and the consummation by each of them of the Contemplated Transactions have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser and Parent, and no other corporate act or
proceeding on the part of either Purchaser or Parent or their respective equity holders is
necessary to authorize the Purchaser Documents or the consummation by each of them of the
Contemplated Transactions.
-36-
Execution Version
6.3 No Conflicts; Required Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by each
of Purchaser and Parent of this Agreement and the other Purchaser Documents do not constitute or
result in a breach or violation of or default under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of
Parent, or under the certificate of formation or limited liability company operating agreement of
Purchaser. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Purchaser and Parent of this
Agreement and each of the other Purchaser Documents, and the consummation by each of Purchaser and
Parent of the Contemplated Transactions (a) do not require the consent, waiver, approval, franchise
or permit, license or authorization of, or any declaration or filing with, any Person or other
Governmental Body, (b) do not conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of Parent or the certificate of formation or limited liability company
operating agreement of Purchaser, (c) do not violate any provision of Law applicable to them, and
(d) do not (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) conflict with or
result in a breach or termination of, or constitute a default or give rise to a right of
termination or acceleration under, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the
properties or assets of Purchaser or Parent pursuant to any mortgage, deed of trust, indenture or
other agreement or instrument or any Law or Order or any other restriction of any kind or character
to which Purchaser or Parent is a party or by which any of their respective assets or properties
may be bound, the consequence of which violation, conflict, breach, termination or default referred
to in this clause (d) would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the ability of
Purchaser or Parent to perform their respective obligations hereunder or consummate the
Contemplated Transactions in accordance with the terms hereof.
6.4 Effect of Agreement. This Agreement and each other Purchaser Document have been
duly executed and delivered by each of Purchaser and Parent. This Agreement and each such other
Purchaser Document constitute legal and valid obligations of each of Purchaser and Parent
enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
6.5 Governmental Action. There is no legal, administrative, arbitral or other
proceeding by or before any Governmental Body pending or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser or Parent,
threatened against Purchaser or Parent, nor to the Knowledge of Purchaser or Parent is there any
pending investigation by any Governmental Body, which would give any third party the right to
enjoin or rescind the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise prevent Purchaser or Parent from
complying with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
6.6 No Brokers or Finders. Neither Purchaser nor Parent has, and none of their
respective officers, directors or employees have, employed any broker or finder or incurred any
liability for any brokerage or finder’s fee or commissions or similar payment in connection with
any of the Contemplated Transactions.
6.7 Authorizations. No Authorization of any Governmental Body is required by or on

6.9 Disclosure of Information. Purchaser and Parent have had an opportunity to
discuss Seller’s business, management, financial affairs with Seller’s management and have had an

Purchaser and Parent to rely thereon.

has delivered or made available sufficient clinical data and all clinical trial results and

contemplated by the Transaction Documents;
(ii) not disclose, in any manner communicate or acquiesce in the disclosure or communication
of Confidential Information of the other parties to any third party, except (A) to the extent
required for the purpose of conducting the activities contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
and only to those third parties that have a need to know the same, where such third parties are
bound by provisions of confidentiality substantially to the effect of this Section 7.3 or
where such third party agrees in writing for to observe the terms and conditions of this
Section 7.3; or (B) if Purchaser, Parent or Seller receives a subpoena or other validly
issued judicial or administrative process requesting or purporting to compel the production of such

best efforts to obtain reasonable assurances that confidential treatment is accorded such
Confidential Information; and
(iii) not make, or enable, authorize, permit or acquiesce in any other Person making, any copy

however, that the provisions of this Section 7.3 shall not apply to former
employees, consultants, agents or Affiliates of Seller who provide services to Parent or Purchaser
after the Closing Date, as it is contemplated that such individuals will enter into separate
confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with Purchaser pertinent to their post-Closing
services on behalf of Purchaser.

(c) Purchaser and Parent acknowledge that Seller must obtain the consent of its members to the
consummation of the Transaction Documents and thus has shared with its members the redacted terms
of the Letter of Intent entered into by the parties on July 10, 2008, without revealing the
identity of Purchaser. It is further agreed that Seller may provide the identity of Purchaser and
details of this Agreement and the Transaction Document, provided, however, that all
such members owe to Seller duties of confidentiality sufficient to provide protection to such
Confidential Information as contemplated under this Section 7.3.
7.4 Further Action; Commercially Reasonable Efforts.
(a) In the event that, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action is necessary or
desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers, managers and directors
of each party to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such action.
(b) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, each of the parties shall promptly
notify the others in writing of any pending or, to the knowledge of such party, threatened action,
proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Body or any other Person (i) challenging or seeking
damages in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or (ii) seeking to restrain or prohibit
the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise limit the right of Purchaser to own
or operate all or any portion of the business or assets of Seller.
7.5 Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any
disclosure or public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any of the
Transaction Documents prior to the Closing Date without the prior consent of the other Parties;
provided, however, that Parent shall have the right to issue a press release after
the Closing has occurred with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, and
provided, further, that following the Closing, each Party hereto may (i) disclose
the terms of this Agreement to its shareholders (or members as the case may be) and (ii) make any
disclosure or announcement which such party, in the opinion of its legal counsel, is obligated to
make by Laws or the rules of any securities exchange, including, without limitation, in response to
a subpoena or other discovery demand, and in such case, the party so obligated shall use reasonable
efforts to consult with the other party hereto prior to such disclosure, in accordance with
Section 7.3(a)(ii).
7.6 Guarantee by Parent of Purchaser’s Obligations. Parent unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of all obligations, accrued and
executory, to which Purchaser is obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 7.6 shall survive
until all obligations under Purchaser Note #1, Purchaser Note #2, Section 3.2 and
Section 8.1 hereof are satisfied or have expired.
7.7 Continued Existence of Seller.
-41-
Execution Version
(a) From and after the date hereof, Seller agrees that it shall maintain its limited liability
company existence for a period at least as long as the lesser of (a) five (5) years from the
Closing, or (b) payment in full of Purchaser Note #1.
(b) Seller hereby also agrees that in the event that at the direction of its board of managers
or Seller’s members, Seller terminates its limited liability company existence pursuant to
Section 7.7(a), but prior to the receipt of all potential Contingent Consideration payable
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 hereof, Seller shall designate a representative or
agent (“Member’s Representative”), which Member’s Representative shall be primarily
responsible for distributing all Contingent Consideration to Seller’s Members. The intent of the
foregoing is that, in the event that after the Closing, Seller dissolves and liquidates all
remaining assets, Purchaser shall not be obligated to make individual payments of Contingent
Consideration to Seller’s Members, but rather, shall only be obligated to make payments of
Contingent Consideration to Member’s Representative.
7.8 Note Distribution. Seller shall not distribute either of Purchaser Note #1 or
Purchaser Note #2 for the time period required under Rule 144(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. Thereafter, Seller shall give Purchaser and Parent ten (10) business day’s
notice of any planned distribution, in whole or part, of Purchaser Note #1 or Purchaser Note #2,
with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the intended distributee(s). As a
condition precedent to Seller’s ability under this Agreement to make such distributions, each
distributee shall execute and deliver to Purchaser and Parent a Joinder Agreement acknowledging and
agreeing (i) to all of Seller’s obligations pursuant to Article 8 of this Agreement, (ii) that
payments made under Purchaser Note #1 and Purchaser Note #2 are subject to certain rights of
Purchaser and Parent under this Agreement, including without limitation a right of set-off (with
respect to Purchaser Note #1 only) pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, and (iii) that all
payments of principal and interest following such distribution shall be made by Purchaser or
Parent, as the case may be, directly to Seller, as payment agent for Purchaser or Parent, as the
case may be.
8. INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS.
8.1 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations of Section 8.2,
(a) Indemnification by Seller. Seller, on behalf of itself and its successors and
assigns, hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser, Parent and their Affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives, successors
and permitted assigns, as the case may be (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) and save
and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all liabilities, obligations, demands,
claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, causes of action, assessments, judgments,
losses, costs, damages, deficiencies, Taxes, fines or expenses (whether or not arising out of
third party claims), including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’
fees and all reasonable amounts paid to any third party pursuant to any investigation, defense or
settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Damages”), which any Purchaser
Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from or arising out of:
-42-
Execution Version
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller under this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents furnished by Seller to Purchaser and/or Parent;
(ii) any breach of any covenant on the part of Seller under this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents furnished by Seller to Purchaser and/or Parent;
(iii) any claim for payment of fees and/or expenses as a broker or finder in connection with
the origin, negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement based upon any alleged
agreement between the claimant and Seller, or any of its Affiliates;
(iv) any claim by Seller’s members including, without limitation, in connection with, arising
out of or claiming as a basis for any suit, the Contemplated Transactions, or any approvals
required thereby (but excluding any claims for payment by Purchaser or Parent for the Purchase
Price or claims made pursuant to Section 8.1(b)); or
(v) the Excluded Liabilities.
(b) Indemnification by Purchaser and Parent. Purchaser and Parent, each on behalf of
itself and its respective successors and assigns, jointly and severally hereby agrees to indemnify
Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, partners,
members, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, as the
case may be (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless
from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties as and when
incurred for any and all Damages which any Seller Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from or
arising out of:
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser or Parent
under this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents furnished by Purchaser or Parent
to Seller;
(ii) any breach of any covenant on the part of Purchaser or Parent under this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents furnished by Purchaser or Parent to Seller, including failure to
discharge, pay and perform the Assumed Liabilities; or
(iii) any claim for payment of fees and/or expenses as a broker or finder in connection with
the origin, negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement based upon any alleged
agreement between the claimant and Purchaser or Parent or any Affiliate thereof; or
(iv) any claims arising out of the ownership or operation of the Business after the Closing
and any obligations arising post-Closing under the Assumed Contracts.
8.2 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Limitations. The representations,
warranties and covenants of Seller, Purchaser and Parent contained in this Agreement shall survive
the Closing, subject to the limitations in this Section 8.2:
-43-
Execution Version
(a) Time Limitations. No party shall have any liability (for indemnification or
otherwise) for a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant unless such party is given
written notice in accordance with Section 9.6 asserting a claim with respect thereto and
specifying the factual basis of the claim, the provisions of this Agreement that provide a right
of indemnification, and the extent of the Damages in reasonable detail based on the information at
the time available to the party seeking indemnification, on or before the Survival Date, except
that (i) there shall be no time limit for any claim by Purchaser or Parent under
Section 8.1(a), (A) for breach of the representations by Seller in Sections 5.1, 5.2,
and 5.14(c)(i) with respect to title to the Purchased Assets (other than Seller Intellectual
Property), organization and authority (the “Title/Organization/Authority
Representations”), (B) with respect to any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Seller or
(C) for claims arising under Section 8.1(a)(v) (“Excluded Liability Claims”),
(ii) any claim under Section 8.1(a)(i) for any breach of any representation or warranty by
Seller in Section 5.23 (Environmental Matters), Section 5.24 (Taxes), or under
Section 8.1(a)(ii) for breach of any of the covenants of Seller in Section 3.4
(Tax Matters) (collectively, “Tax Claims”) or Section 5.19 (Seller Benefit
Plans) may be made at any time until sixty (60) days following expiration of the applicable
statute of limitations, and (iii) any claim under Section 5.15 (Intellectual Property) or
under Section 5.14(c)(i) with respect to Seller Intellectual Property (together, “Intellectual
Property Claims”) may be made at any time until three (3) years from the Closing Date, and
(iv) any claim under Section 8.1(a)(ii) or 8.1(b)(ii) for breach of any covenant that by
its terms survives the Closing shall survive in accordance with the terms of such covenant
(collectively, “Post-Closing Covenant Claims”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time
limitations set forth in this paragraph 8.2(a) shall not apply to Damages arising as a result of
(A) any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Purchaser or Parent, (B) any amounts due to
Seller pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1, (C) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to the Purchaser
Note #2, (D) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, or (E) any claim
under Section 8.1(b)(iii) or 8.1(b)(iv).
(b) Dollar Limitations — Minimum. Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor Purchaser or
Parent, on the other hand, shall be liable to the other (or to the other Purchaser Indemnified
Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be) for indemnification under
Section 8.1, unless and until the aggregate Damages incurred by such party exceeds
$250,000 (the “Basket Amount”); provided, however, that in the event that
such Damages exceed the Basket Amount Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser and Parent, on the
other hand, as the case may be, shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
8 shall, fully indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties,
as the case may be, for all Damages incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller
Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, from dollar one (1). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Basket Amount shall not apply to Damages arising as a result of (i) any intentional
misrepresentation or fraud by Seller, Purchaser or Parent, (ii) any breach of any
Title/Organization/Authority Representations, (iii) any Tax Claims, (iv) any Post-Closing Covenant
Claim, (v) any Excluded Liabilities Claim, (vi) any amounts due pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1,
(vii) any amounts due pursuant to Purchaser Note #2, (viii) any amounts due pursuant to
Section 3.2 hereof, (ix) any breach of the representations of Purchaser or Parent in
Sections 6.1 or 6.2, or (x) any claim under Section 8.1(a)(iii) or
Section 8.1(b)(iii) (the “Basket Exceptions”).
(c) Dollar Limitations – Maximum
-44-
Execution Version
(i) Subject to Section 8.2(b), the maximum aggregate liability of Seller to Purchaser
and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, including but not limited to
liability under Section 8.1(a), shall be a dollar amount equal to any amounts remaining
pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1 taken in inverse order of payment of the note (the “Purchaser
Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Indemnification Cap shall
not apply to Damages arising as a result of (A) any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by
Seller, (B) any breach of any of the Title/Organization/Authority Representations, (C) any Tax
Claims, (D) any claim under Sections 8.1(a)(iii) or (iv).
(ii) Subject to Section 8.2(b), the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser and
Parent to Seller and the other Seller Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, including but not
limited to liability under Section 8.1(b), shall be an amount equal to any amounts
remaining pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1 (the “Seller Indemnification Cap”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Indemnification Cap shall not apply to Damages arising as
a result of (A) any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Purchaser or Parent, (B) any amounts
due to Seller pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1, (C) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to the
Purchaser Note #2, (D) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, or (E) any
claim under Section 8.1(b)(iii) or 8.1(b)(iv).
8.3 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) Third Party Claims. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, any person or
entity entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) receives
notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding against
such Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or otherwise entitled to
indemnification hereunder as a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (including,
but not limited to any Governmental Body) (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified
Party, for which a claim is to be made by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement (an
“Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice regarding such
claim to the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) Business Days after learning of such claim.
(i) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 8.3(a) is brought against an Indemnified
Party and it gives notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the
Indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it
wishes (unless (A) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified
Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate due to a conflict
of interests or similar reason, or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance
to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide
indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying
Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the
Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the
Indemnified Party under this Section 8.3 for any fees of other counsel or any other
expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of
investigation.
-45-
Execution Version
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that
there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may have a material adverse effect on it or its
Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying
Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the
Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any
compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).
(iii) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not elect to conduct the defense of the
subject claim, it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject claim,
and in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense in good faith
and to compromise and settle the claim in good faith and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for
all reasonable costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Damages paid or incurred in connection
therewith; provided, however, that no such compromise or settlement shall be
effected without the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of
the Indemnifying Party if, pursuant to or as a result of such compromise or settlement, (A)
injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnifying Party, or (B)
if the Indemnifying Party is also named as a party to such claim, such compromise or settlement
does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities and
obligations to the third party claimant (without limitation of the Indemnified Party’s rights
against the Indemnifying Party hereunder) with respect to such claim, without prejudice.
(iv) Subject to Section 8.3(a)(vi) below, in the event that the Indemnifying Party
does elect to conduct the defense of the subject claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
have the exclusive control over said defense and settlement of the subject claim and the
Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance
and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the
Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in (but not to control) the
defense, said Indemnified Party to be assisted by counsel of its own choosing. In such an event,
the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld if, pursuant to or as a result
of such compromise or settlement, (A) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed
against the Indemnified Party, or (B) would impose a material amount of liability or create any
financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party
is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(v) Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party
Claim or cease to defend against such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or
cessation, (A) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified
Party, or (B) such settlement or cessation would impose a material amount of liability or create
any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified
Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
-46-
Execution Version
(vi) Notwithstanding Section 8.3(a)(ii), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled
to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole
control over, the defense or settlement of any claim (A) that seeks a temporary restraining order,
a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party,
(B) that involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (C) that if unsuccessful,
would materially interfere with, or have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial
condition of the Indemnified Party, or (D) that imposes any material amount of liability on the
part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will still have all of its obligations
hereunder provided that the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
(vii) Subject to Section 8.3(a)(ii) and (vi), any final judgment entered or
settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Party,
and shall conclusively be deemed to be an obligation with respect to which the Indemnified Party is
entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder to the extent otherwise within the scope of the
indemnification provisions of this Article 8.
(viii) A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as
provided in this Section 8.3 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party
hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to
receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance
coverage or was otherwise materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give timely notice.
(b) Non-Third Party Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim against an
Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct
Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice in
accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(a) and Section 9.6.
8.4 Calculation of Damages. The amount of Damages payable by an Indemnifying Party
under this Article 8 shall exclude any charge for the time of any employees of the
Indemnified Party, and shall be reduced by (a) the amount of any insurance proceeds and third party
payments or contributions received by the Indemnified Party from third party insurers or other
third parties with respect to such Damages or the underlying factors with respect thereto, and
(b) the net present value of any Tax benefits realized by the Indemnified Party to the extent the
claim for which indemnification is sought gives rise to a deductible loss or expense. Any
indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price
for Tax purposes. Each Indemnified Party shall take all actions reasonably necessary to mitigate
the Damages for which it is eligible for indemnity pursuant to this Article 8.
8.5 Payments. All claims for indemnification made hereunder by Purchaser Indemnified
Parties shall be satisfied through set-off and a corresponding reduction, in whole or in part, as
the case may be, to the principal balance outstanding on Purchaser Note #1.
-47-
Execution Version
8.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, any claim or cause of action
(whether such claim sounds in tort, contract or otherwise, and including statutory rights and
remedies) based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions
or otherwise in respect of the status, operations, condition or ownership of Seller or its business
or properties on or prior to the Closing Date must be brought by either Purchaser (or Parent) or
Seller in accordance with the provisions and applicable limitations of this Article 8,
which shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser, Seller and their respective
Affiliates, successors and assigns and all Persons who may claim any rights through Purchaser or
Seller, for any such claim or cause of action, provided, that nothing herein shall limit
the parties’ rights to seek remedies under Section 9.5. The provisions of this Article
8 were specifically bargained for and are reflected in the amounts payable to Seller in
connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Article 2.

ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) INQUIRY,
PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER
HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 9.3(b) CONSTITUTES
A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS
-48-
