ADJUSTMENTS

3.1

Delivery of Estimate Statement.

Three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a statement (the ”Estimate Statement”) that sets out a good faith estimate of (i) Working Capital at the Closing Time (the “Estimated Working Capital”), including a balance of Current Assets and Current Liabilities included in the calculation of the Estimated Working Capital, and (ii) the Net Indebtedness at the Closing Time (“Estimated Net Indebtedness”), determined in accordance with IFRS, consistently applied, and the provisions of this Agreement in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A;

3.2

Delivery of Closing Statement.

Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause each Corporation to provide Seller with a statement (the “Draft Statement”) that sets out the determination of the Working Capital and Net Indebtedness at the Closing, determined in accordance with this Agreement and in accordance with IFRS, consistently applied. Upon reasonable request, (i) Seller shall cooperate fully with Purchaser and its representatives to the extent required to prepare the Draft Statement, and (ii) at any time after the delivery of the Draft Statement, Purchaser shall provide to Seller and its representatives access to all working papers of Purchaser and the Corporations and their respective accounting and financial books and records relating to their respective Businesses and the appropriate personnel to verify the accuracy, presentation and other matters relating to the preparation of the Draft Statement.

3.3

Net Indebtedness and Working Capital Adjustment.

(a)

Within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the Draft Statement, Seller may notify Purchaser in writing of any objections it may have to the Draft Statement and the Working Capital and the Net Indebtedness calculation provided therein (an “Objection Notice”), which Objection Notice will set forth Seller’s calculation of the relevant amounts and a detailed description of the nature and basis for the objections. If an Objection Notice is not timely delivered to Purchaser, the Draft Statement shall become the “Closing Statement” for the purposes hereof and the Net Indebtedness and Working Capital set forth in the Draft Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If an Objection Notice is timely delivered to Purchaser, then Seller and Purchaser will forthwith and in any event within thirty (30) days, negotiate in good faith to resolve the objections set forth in the Objection Notice. In the event that Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve all such objections within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of such Objection Notice, Seller and Purchaser will submit such remaining disagreements to KPMG, and if KPMG is unwilling or unable to act (e.g. due to any conflict of interest with either party), to any such other internationally recognized firm that the Parties may mutually agree upon (the “Independent Accountant”). Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the determination of the dispute by the Independent Accountant to be made within thirty (30) days of the date of such submission. The Independent Accountant shall allow each of Purchaser and Seller to submit, in writing, their respective positions regarding the Draft Statement, and Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to submit additional documents, materials and other written information with appropriate copies and notifications sent to the other Party at the same time. The Independent Accountant shall consider such additional documents, materials and other written information. Purchaser and Seller shall jointly instruct the Independent Accountant that: (i) it shall act as an expert in accounting, and not as an arbitrator, to resolve the unresolved disputed items and amounts that were properly included in the notice of objection in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) it shall base their decision solely on the written submissions of Purchaser and Seller, and not on independent review; and (iii) it may not assign a dollar value to any disputed item greater than the highest amount or less than the lowest amount claimed by Purchaser and Seller, as applicable. The Independent Accountant’s determination of the dispute will be final and binding upon the Parties. The Independent Accountant’s determination of Working Capital and Net Indebtedness will be conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error, and will become the “Closing Statement” for purposes hereof.

(b)

If the Working Capital set forth in the Closing Statement is greater than the Estimated Working Capital set forth in the Estimate Statement, the amount of such difference will be owed to Seller by Purchaser. In which case, Purchaser shall pay, within twenty (20) days of the final determination of the Closing Statement, such amount to Seller. If the Working Capital set forth in the Closing Statement is less than the Estimated Working Capital set forth in the Estimate Statement, the amount of such difference will be owed to Purchaser by Seller. In which case, Seller shall pay, within twenty (20) days of the final determination of the Closing Statement, such amount to Purchaser.

(c)

If the Net Indebtedness set forth in the Closing Statement is greater than Estimated Net Indebtedness set forth in the Estimate Statement, then the amount of such difference shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser within twenty (20) days. If the Net Indebtedness set forth in the Closing Statement is less than the Estimated Net Indebtedness set forth in the Estimate Statement, then the amount of such difference shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within twenty (20) days.

(d)

Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, will each bear the fees and expenses of their respective accountants, auditors and other professional advisors in preparing, reviewing or settling, as the case may be, the Draft Statement. In the case of a dispute and the retention of the Independent Accountant to determine such dispute, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be borne equally by Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand.

3.4

Adjustment of Purchase Price for Plasma Inventory.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller or their respective designees shall jointly conduct an inspection and audit of the Plasma Inventory to determine the amounts, types and conformance of the Plasma Inventory with the Plasma Specifications. [***]. Any non-conforming Plasma Inventory shall be delivered to Seller, an Affiliate or third party purchaser or storage provider designated by Seller, or destroyed if required by applicable law and requested by Seller, at the sole cost and expense of Seller and in accordance with applicable Law within ten (10) days of the completion of the joint inspection and audit. In the event the Parties fail to agree whether or not any Plasma Inventory conforms to the Plasma Specifications, then the matter will be promptly referred to an independent expert agreed in good faith by the Parties, whose decision shall be binding on the Parties and shall be non-appealable. The cost of referral to the expert will be borne by the Party determined to have been in error as to conformity, or lack thereof, with the Plasma Specifications.

Conduct of Tax Matters.

(a)

If: (i) a Taxation Authority asserts any actions, inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes against either of the Corporations, and (ii) the Seller could be responsible for any portion of the related Taxes (any such claim, a “Tax Matter”), then the party first receiving notice (whether directly, or indirectly through an Affiliate of such party) of such Tax Matter shall promptly provide to the Purchaser, the Corporations and the Seller written notice specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Matter and shall include a copy of the relevant correspondence received from the Taxation Authority in respect of such Tax Matter; provided, however, that a failure by either party to give such notice shall not affect the other party’s rights to indemnification under Article 12 unless and solely to the extent such other party is materially and adversely prejudiced as a consequence of such failure.

(b)

If, within thirty days after the Seller receives notice of a Tax Matter, the Seller provides to the Purchaser a written notice in which the Seller elects to contest, and to control the defense or prosecution of, such Tax Matter, then subject to the provisions of this Section 13.3(b), the Seller shall have the right to defend or prosecute and the right to control, at its sole cost and expense, such Tax Matter by all appropriate proceedings; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller and Purchaser shall jointly control any such Tax Matter that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the Taxes of the Purchaser or the Corporations with respect to a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date (a “Joint Controlled Proceeding”). For any such Tax Matter, the defense or prosecution of which the Seller controls (a “Seller Controlled Proceeding”): (i) the Seller shall defend or prosecute the Tax Matter diligently and in good faith; (ii) the Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any compromise or settlement of such Tax Matter; (iii) the Seller shall inform the Purchaser of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Matter (including providing to the Purchaser copies of relevant portions of all written materials relating to such Tax Matter); (iv) the parties shall cooperate with each other and each party’s authorized representatives in good faith in order to contest effectively such Tax Matter; (v) the Purchaser or its authorized representative shall be entitled, at the expense of the Purchaser, to attend and participate in all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such Tax Matter; and (vi) if the Purchaser reasonably withholds consent to a compromise or settlement pursuant to subsection (ii), above, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to participate with the Seller in joint control of the defense or prosecution of such Tax Matter (which shall thereafter be a Joint Controlled Proceeding).

(c)

The Seller’s right to control at any time any Tax Matter pursuant to Section 13.3(b) shall only apply after payment to the relevant Corporation of the amount of Tax subject at that time to collection measures by the applicable Governmental Authority (the “Prepaid Amount”) within the time prescribed by Law. In the event such Tax Matter is subsequently settled in accordance with the terms of a settlement or final non-appealable judgment, the applicable Corporation shall promptly reimburse to the Seller the lesser of: (i) the Prepaid Amount and any interest received from the Governmental Authority thereon (net after-Tax); and (ii) the Prepaid Amount and any interest received from the Governmental Authority thereon (net after-Tax) less the final amount of Tax due pursuant to such Tax Matter in accordance with the terms of such settlement or final non appealable judgment.

(d)

If the Seller fails within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice to assume control of a Tax Matter (other than a Joint Controlled Proceeding) in accordance with Section 13.3(b), or fails to pay the Prepaid Amount to the relevant Corporation in accordance with Section 13.3(c), then Purchaser will provide to Seller a reasonable opportunity to comment on any representations or submissions proposed to be made to a Governmental Authority in respect of such Tax Matter and to attend any meeting with any such Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Matter, and Purchaser shall not settle, resolve or abandon (and shall not allow the Corporations to settle, resolve or abandon) such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

13.4

Conflicts; Survival.

In the event of a conflict between this Article 13 and any other provision of this Agreement, this Article 13 shall govern and control. This Article 13 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account all extensions thereof granted with the prior written consent of the Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld).

13.5

Excessive Dividend Elections.

(a)

If a Taxation Authority determines that PPR Canada has made an “excessive eligible dividend designation” (as defined in subsection 89(1) of the Tax Act) in respect of any dividend paid before Closing, the Seller hereby irrevocably concurs (or shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend or any successor thereof to concur) in the making of an election under subsection 185.1(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount thereof, and such election shall be made by the applicable Corporation in the manner and within the time prescribed by subsections 185.1(2) and 185.1(3) of the Tax Act. The Seller further irrevocably agrees to do all such things and take all such actions as the Purchaser may reasonably request to ensure that none of the Corporations incur any liability for making an “excessive eligible dividend designation”.

13.6

§338(g)Election.

Purchaser shall pay any state or local U.S. Tax and indemnify Seller against all such Taxes and any other Damages attributable to the making by Purchaser of an election under Code §338(g) (and any corresponding elections under state or local U.S. law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares of PPR Canada.
