(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing and following consummation of the Contribution, Purchaser will acquire, purchase and accept from Sellers, and Seller Parent will cause Sellers to sell, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser for the consideration specified in Section 1.2, all of Seller Group’s right, title and interest, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities laws) in and to the U.S. Acquired Company Equity and the Canada Acquired Company Equity (collectively, and together with all assets of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing (including the Contributed Assets), the “Purchased Assets”).
(b) Purchaser expressly understands and agrees that, following the consummation of the Contribution, the Purchased Assets will not include, and Seller Group will retain, all right title and interest in and to, the properties, assets and rights of any kind, whether tangible or intangible, real or personal, of the Seller Group other than the Purchased Assets (the “Excluded Assets”), including:
(i) any Technology and Intellectual Property Rights (A) of any member of Seller Group and (B) of any third party, other than, in each case, the Transferred Intellectual Property;

(iv) any assets directly held by Seller Parent and not primarily used in the operation of the EIS Business, other than the Contributed Assets.
(c) Purchaser expressly understands and agrees that, effective at the time of the Closing, Purchaser will assume, indirectly through Purchaser’s ownership of the Acquired Companies, all of the Contributed Liabilities and all other liabilities and obligations arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets, including any liability or obligation relating to (i) except to the extent constituting an Excluded Liability, any Taxes imposed on an Acquired Company for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date and, in the case of any Straddle Period, for the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, that Transfer Taxes and Property Taxes shall be paid in the manner set forth in Section 5.4(b) and Section 5.4(c) hereof; (ii) the Assumed Retention Bonuses and the Severance Obligations (in each case, subject to Section 5.3(e)); and (iii) all liabilities and obligations arising out of or relating to the Horizon CID to the extent relating to the EIS Business (subject to ARTICLE VIII) (the “Assumed Liabilities”). All other liabilities and obligations of the Seller Group shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of the Seller Group, including the following (the “Excluded Liabilities”):
3
(i) any liability or obligation (A) for Taxes of or imposed on any member of Seller Group or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Acquired Companies) for any Taxable Period, (B) any Taxes imposed on an Acquired Company, or for which an Acquired Company may otherwise be liable, as a member of any consolidated, affiliated, combined, unitary or similar group of which either Acquired Company is or has been, on or before the Closing Date, a member (including, without limitation, pursuant to Regulation section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or non-US Tax law), and (C) any Taxes imposed on an Acquired Company, or for which an Acquired Company may otherwise be liable, or imposed on or with respect to the Contributed Assets, in each case for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or, in the case of any Straddle Period, for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date; provided, that Transfer Taxes and Property Taxes shall be paid in the manner set forth in Section 5.4(b) and Section 5.4(c) hereof; and
(ii) all liabilities and obligations of the Seller Group to the extent related to the Excluded Assets.
(a) As consideration for the Purchased Assets, Purchaser will pay to Seller Parent (or such Seller Parent Subsidiaries designated by Seller Parent), in the manner described herein, an amount equal to $185,000,000 (One Hundred Eighty Five Million Dollars) (the “Initial Purchase Price”), subject to the NWC Adjustment set forth in this ARTICLE I (as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be allocated between the U.S. Acquired Company Equity and the Canada Acquired Company Equity in accordance with Section 1.4(a).
(b) The “Estimated Closing Payment” will be equal to the Initial Purchase Price (i)(A) increased by the Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus (if any) or (B) decreased by the Estimated Net Working Capital Deficiency (if any), (ii) decreased by the Estimated Indebtedness at Closing, (iii) decreased by the Seller Transaction Expenses and (v) increased by Estimated Cash. The “Final Closing Payment” will be equal to the Initial Purchase Price (i)(A) increased by the Net Working Capital Surplus (if any) or (B) decreased by the Net Working Capital Deficiency (if any), (ii) decreased by the Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies as of Closing, (iii) decreased by the Seller Transaction Expenses and (v) increased by any Cash held by the Acquired Companies as of the Closing, as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.3.
(c) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller Parent will prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) Seller Parent’s good faith estimate of (A) Net Working Capital, (B)(1) the amount (if any) by which Net Working Capital is greater than Target Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus”) or (B)(2) the amount (if any) by which Net Working Capital is less than Target Net Working Capital (“Estimated Net Working Capital Deficiency”), (C) Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing (the “Estimated Indebtedness”) and (D) any Cash held by the Acquired Companies as of the Closing (the “Estimated Cash”), (ii) the Seller Transaction Expenses and (iii) based upon such estimates and amounts, Seller Parent’s good faith calculation of the Estimated Closing Payment, which Estimated Closing Payment shall be paid at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2(d).
4
(d) At the Closing, Purchaser will:
(i) pay in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Estimated Closing Payment to Seller Parent (or such Seller Parent Subsidiaries designated by Seller Parent), to an account or accounts to be specified in a written notice delivered by Seller Parent to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing (the “Seller Accounts”);
(ii) pay in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, on behalf of the Acquired Companies, an amount (if any) equal to the Estimated Indebtedness representing Indebtedness for borrowed money set forth in the Closing Statement, in accordance with, and to the accounts of the holders of such Indebtedness specified in, the Closing Statement; and
(iii) pay in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, on behalf of the Acquired Companies, an amount (if any) equal to the Seller Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement, in accordance with, and to the accounts of the third parties specified in, the Closing Statement.
(e) Seller Parent will prepare and deliver to Purchaser on or prior to September 1, 2017 a statement setting forth Seller Parent’s calculation of Target Net Working Capital. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to the books and records of the Acquired Companies to verify the amounts in such calculation and shall consider in good faith any adjustments to the amounts in such calculation supported by the books and records of the Acquired Companies and delivered in writing by Purchaser to Seller Parent within 10 Business Days prior to the Closing (the “Purchaser Target Adjustments”); provided, however, that Seller Parent’s calculation of Target Net Working Capital pursuant to this Section 1.2(e) shall be used for purposes of Seller Parent’s preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Closing Payment, whether or not any such Purchaser Target Adjustments suggested by Purchaser are included.
(f) If any Purchaser Target Adjustments are not mutually resolved as between the parties prior to Seller Parent’s delivery of the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 1.2(c), then Purchaser may in the Post-Closing Statement include such unresolved Purchaser Target Adjustments in Purchaser’s calculation of Target Net Working Capital, and Purchaser’s calculations of the post-Closing Adjustment may take into account the difference between Seller Parent’s calculation of the Target Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.2(e) and Purchaser’s calculation after adjusting for such unresolved Purchaser Target Adjustments. Seller Parent shall have the right to dispute Purchaser’s calculation of Target Net Working Capital pursuant to this Section 1.2(f) under the dispute resolution process set forth in Sections 1.3(b) through 1.3(e).
Section 1.3 Post-Closing Adjustment.
(a) As promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in any event within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller Parent a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of (i) Net Working Capital, (ii)(A) the amount (if any) by which Net Working Capital is greater than
5
Target Net Working Capital (the “Net Working Capital Surplus” or (B) the amount (if any) by which Net Working Capital is less than Target Net Working Capital (the “Net Working Capital Deficiency”) (such amount in subsections (ii)(A) or (ii)(B), the “NWC Adjustment”), (iii)(A) the amount (if any) by which Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies at Closing is greater than Estimated Indebtedness or (B) the amount (if any) by which Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies at Closing is less than Estimated Indebtedness (such amount in subsections (iii)(A) or (iii)(B), the “Indebtedness Adjustment”), (iv)(A) the amount (if any) by which Cash held by the Acquired Companies at Closing is greater than Estimated Cash or (B) the amount (if any) by which Cash held by the Acquired Companies at Closing is less than Estimated Cash (such amount in subsections (iv)(A) or (iv)(B), the “Cash Adjustment”) and (v) based on such calculations, Purchaser’s calculation of any adjustment to the Estimated Closing Payment to arrive at the Final Closing Payment (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”) and the Purchase Price.
(b) Seller Parent may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Seller Notice Period”), deliver a notice to Purchaser (i) disagreeing with the calculations in the Post-Closing Statement and setting forth Seller Parent’s calculation of the Net Working Capital, the NWC Adjustment, the Indebtedness Adjustment, the Cash Adjustment, the Purchase Price and any Post-Closing Adjustment or (ii) describing the failure of Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Section 1.3(a) which has resulted in Seller Parent’s inability to determine its agreement or disagreement with the Post-Closing Statement (each such notice in (i) or (ii), a “Notice of Disagreement”). If Seller Parent does not deliver a Notice of Disagreement within the Seller Notice Period, then Seller Parent will be deemed to have agreed to the Post-Closing Statement and the computation of the Purchase Price and Post-Closing Adjustment set forth therein will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If Seller Parent delivers a Notice of Disagreement within the Seller Notice Period, Seller Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all amounts and items contained or reflected in the Post-Closing Statement to the extent such amounts or items are not disputed in the Notice of Disagreement and all such undisputed amounts will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties for purposes of this Section 1.3.
(c) If Seller Parent delivers a Notice of Disagreement within the Seller Notice Period, Purchaser and Seller Parent, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, will use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the final Purchase Price and Post-Closing Adjustment. If the parties so resolve all disputes, the computation of the Purchase Price and Post-Closing Adjustment agreed upon by the parties will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties for purposes of this Section 1.3.
(d) If Seller Parent delivers a Notice of Disagreement within the Seller Notice Period, and Purchaser and Seller Parent are unable to reach an agreement on the disputed items or amounts within the thirty (30)-day period described in Section 1.3(c), the parties will engage an independent accountant to be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller Parent (the “Independent Accountant”), to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the final Purchase Price and Post-Closing Adjustment (it being understood that, in making such calculation, the Independent Accountant will function as an expert and not as an arbitrator). In making its calculation of the final Purchase Price and Post-Closing Adjustment, the Independent Accountant (A) will apply the accounting and related standards contemplated by
6
the definitions in this Agreement, including the definitions of “Net Working Capital,” “NWC Adjustment”, “Indebtedness Adjustment” and “Cash Adjustment,” (B) will consider only those items or amounts in the Post-Closing Statement as to which Seller Parent identifies in the Notice of Disagreement and any amounts that are directly impacted thereby and (C) will not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Purchaser or Seller Parent or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Purchaser or Seller Parent. The Independent Accountant will deliver to Purchaser and Seller Parent, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date of engagement of the Independent Accountant), a report setting forth its calculation of the final Purchase Price and Post-Closing Adjustment. The Independent Accountant’s calculation of the final Purchase Price and Post-Closing Adjustment will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Independent Accountant’s review and report will be allocated to and borne (i) by Purchaser if the difference between the Final Post-Closing Adjustment and the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment set forth in the Post-Closing Statement is greater than the difference between the Final Post-Closing Adjustment and the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, (ii) by Seller Parent if the first such difference is less than the second such difference and (iii) otherwise equally by Purchaser and Seller Parent.
(e) The Final Closing Payment determined in accordance with Section 1.3(b), (c) and (d) shall be final, conclusive and binding for purposes of this Section 1.3. The Post-Closing Adjustment determined in accordance with Section 1.3(b), (c) and (d) (the “Final Post-Closing Adjustment”) shall be final, conclusive and binding for purposes of this Section 1.3.
(f) If the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Estimated Closing Payment, Purchaser will promptly, and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after determination of the Final Closing Payment and the Final Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with this Section 1.3, pay to Seller Parent (or such Seller Parent Subsidiaries designated by Seller Parent) an amount equal to the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Accounts.
(g) If the Final Closing Payment is less than the Estimated Closing Payment, Seller Parent will promptly, and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after determination of the Final Closing Payment and the Final Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with this Section 1.3, pay (or cause to be paid) to Purchaser an amount equal to the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser.
Section 1.4 Allocation of Purchase Price; Withholding.
(a) Allocation of Purchase Price. Within sixty (60) days following the determination of the Final Closing Payment pursuant to Section 1.3, Seller Parent shall provide to Purchaser a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the final Purchase Price (plus the Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code) among (i) the assets and properties of the U.S. Acquired Company, (ii) the assets and properties of the Canada Acquired Company, and (iii) the covenants of Seller Parent in Section 5.8 and Section 5.9. The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the
7
Code; provided, that the aggregate amount allocated to and among the assets and properties of the Canada Acquired Company shall be equal to the sum of (x) $1,000,000.00 and (y) the aggregate amount of the Assumed Liabilities which are liabilities of the Canada Acquired Company, to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code (such amount, the “Canada Allocation Amount”). If Purchaser does not provide notice of disagreement to Seller Parent within thirty (30) days of receiving the Allocation Schedule, the Allocation schedule shall be binding as the final Allocation Schedule (the Allocation Schedule, as finalized pursuant to this Section 1.4(a), the “Final Allocation Schedule”). If Purchaser provides notice of disagreement to Seller Parent within such 30-day period, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall discuss in good faith Purchaser’s disagreement and, if Seller Parent and Purchaser resolve such disagreements within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as agreed between the parties) of Purchaser receiving the Allocation Schedule, the Allocation Schedule shall be revised to reflect such resolution and as so revised shall be the Final Allocation Schedule. If Seller Parent and Purchaser are unable to resolve such disagreements within such thirty (30) days (or such longer period as agreed between the parties), each of Seller Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to allocate the final Purchase Price among the assets described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above in the manner it determines in its sole discretion, and neither party shall have any liability to the other with respect to such allocations; provided, however, that, each of Seller Parent and Purchaser in all events shall allocate to and among the assets and properties of the Canada Acquired Company the Canada Allocation Amount (and only the Canada Allocation Amount). The parties agree (and agree to cause each of their respective Affiliates) to utilize the allocation set forth in any Final Allocation Schedule for all Tax purposes, including the filing of all Tax Returns and in the course of all Tax-related proceedings, unless otherwise required by applicable Law pursuant to a Final Determination in connection therewith.
(b) Withholding. Purchaser will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it may be required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law; provided, however, in the event Purchaser determines it is, or may be, required to deduct or withhold any amounts from the amount paid to Seller Group in exchange for the Purchased Assets, prior to any such deduction or withholding, Purchaser will consult with Seller Parent in good faith reasonably in advance regarding such determination and the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts and will cooperate with each other to avoid or otherwise mitigate any requirement to withhold or deduct any amounts from the consideration payable hereunder; provided, further, that in the event the parties are unable to agree regarding the applicability of any such requirement or the required actions in respect of avoiding or mitigating any such requirement, Purchaser will be entitled to deduct and withhold the amount as may be required by the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that any amounts are so withheld and paid over by Purchaser to the applicable Taxing Authority, the withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the party in respect of which such amounts are withheld.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER PARENT
Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure schedule attached hereto (each section of which will be deemed to qualify any other section or subsection
8
of this ARTICLE II to which the matter relates, so long as the applicability of such matter to such section is reasonably apparent on its face (the “Seller Disclosure Schedule”); it being understood that the inclusion of any information in any section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by Seller Group pursuant to this Agreement will not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor will it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever), Seller Parent hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that the following statements in this ARTICLE II are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or, if made as of a specified date, only as of such date):
Section 2.1 Organization and Qualification.

Each member of Seller Group has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its respective properties and carry on its respective business as each is currently conducted, and each is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which a failure to so qualify would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Each of the U.S. Acquired Company and the Canada Acquired Company (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is recognized) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its respective properties and carry on its respective business as is currently conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which a failure to so qualify would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 2.2 Capitalization; Subsidiaries.
(a) The U.S. Acquired Company Equity and the Canada Acquired Company Equity represent all of the issued and outstanding shares of or other voting securities of, or ownership interests in, the U.S. Acquired Company and the Canada Acquired Company, respectively.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser and Seller Parent will use their reasonable best efforts to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable (but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after this Agreement is executed) and any other required submissions under any Antitrust Law, in each case with respect to the Transactions, to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law, and to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. Any applicable filing fee under the HSR Act and any other filing made pursuant to any other applicable Antitrust Law will be borne by Purchaser.
(c) The Purchaser and Seller Parent will cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all filings contemplated by this Section 4.3, including furnishing to the others such information and assistance as a party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary or allowable under applicable competition or other Law or requested by any competition authorities. The Purchaser and Seller Parent will use their respective reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Law (including all information required to be included in Seller Parent’s disclosure documents) in connection with the Transactions. To the extent permitted by applicable Law or any relevant Governmental Entity, and subject to all applicable privileges, including the attorney-client privilege, each party hereto will (i) give the other parties hereto prompt notice upon obtaining knowledge of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep the other parties hereto informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding and (iii) promptly inform the other parties hereto of any material communication to or from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, any foreign competition authority or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions. The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals to be made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto, including reasonable access to any materials submitted in connection with any proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any other applicable Federal, state or foreign competition, merger control, antitrust or similar Law, including any proceeding under 16 C.F.R. § 803.20.
(d) Any party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other parties under this Section 4.3 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein will be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of such materials. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, each party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other parties to be present at each meeting or telephone conference of which such party will have advance notice (other than telephone conversations to the extent they relate solely to administrative matters) with representatives of any Governmental Entity relating to any request,
32
inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or proceeding.
(e) Without limiting any other obligations of Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser will respond to and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, and will defend any action, suit, dispute, litigation, proceeding, hearing, arbitration or claim by or before any Governmental Entity, whether judicial or administrative, whether brought by private parties or Governmental Entities or officials, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions. Purchaser will use reasonable best efforts to take any and all action necessary to ensure that no Governmental Entity enters any order, decision, judgment, decree, ruling, injunction (preliminary or permanent), or establishes any Law, rule, regulation or other action preliminarily or permanently restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, or to ensure that no Governmental Entity with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve the consummation of the Transactions, fails to do so by the Termination Date. In the event that any action is threatened or instituted challenging the Transactions as violative of any Law, Purchaser will take any and all action necessary to avoid or resolve such action. In the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any proceeding that would make consummation of the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, Purchaser will take promptly any and all steps necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation prior to the Termination Date. The required actions by Purchaser hereunder will include, without limitation, the proposal, negotiation and acceptance by Purchaser prior to the Termination Date of (i) any and all divestitures of the businesses or assets of it or its Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliates or the Purchased Assets, (ii) any agreement to hold any assets of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliates or the Purchased Assets separate, (iii) any agreement to license any portion of the business of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliate or of the EIS Business, (iv) any limitation to or modification of any of the businesses, services or operations of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliates or, following the Closing, of the EIS Business, and (v) any other action (including any action that limits the freedom of action, ownership or control with respect to, or ability to retain or hold, any of the businesses, assets, product lines, properties or services of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliates or the Purchased Assets), in each case as may be required by any applicable Governmental Entity in order to obtain approval for the Transactions.
(f) Purchaser agrees not to extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity to delay, or otherwise not to consummate as soon as practicable, any of the Transactions except with the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller Parent.
Section 4.4 Third-Party Notices and Consents. Seller Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the applicable third party (including parties to any Material Contracts) or obtain prior to the Closing, all notices, Consents, waivers, filings and approvals required in connection with the Transactions (i) under the contracts set forth in Section 2.4(a)(iii)
33
of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (ii) otherwise at Purchaser’s reasonable request after consultation with Seller Parent. Without limiting the obligations of Seller Parent hereunder, (i) Purchaser will reasonably cooperate with Seller Parent in obtaining such third-party Consents to the extent such cooperation is reasonably requested by Seller Parent, and (ii) neither party will be under any obligation to, and neither party shall, without the other party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), compromise any right, asset or benefit or expend any amount or incur any Liability (other than a de minimis amount or Liability) in seeking such Consents, waivers or approvals or making such notices or filings.
Section 4.5 Exclusivity. From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE IX, Seller Parent will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries to not, and will cause its and their respective Representatives to not, (i) solicit, initiate, or seek any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer concerning the sale or other conveyance of the EIS Business or the Purchased Assets to a third party (other than as permitted in accordance with Section 4.2), whether by way of merger, purchase of share capital or capital stock, purchase of substantially all of the assets of the EIS Business or otherwise (an “Acquisition Proposal”); (ii) knowingly hold or participate in any negotiations or discussions or enter into any agreements with any Person concerning an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) knowingly deliver or make available to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action regarding, any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal. Seller Parent will cease, and will cause its Subsidiaries to cease, and will cause its and their respective Representatives to cease, and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to or on the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.
Section 4.6 Access to Information.
(a) During the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing, promptly following receipt of a written request by Purchaser therefor, Seller Parent will, at Purchaser’s expense, afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access during business hours, and only in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operations of any member of Seller Group, to (i) Seller Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, Contracts, documents, personnel, premises and properties (solely to the extent exclusively relating to the EIS Business) and (ii) EIS Employees who have material responsibility for the conduct of the EIS Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement between Purchaser and any member of Seller Group executed on or prior to the date hereof, no member of Seller Group will have any obligation to make available to Purchaser or its Representatives, or provide Purchaser or its Representatives with, (A) any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return filed by any member of Seller Group or predecessors, or any reasonably related material, or any other information related to Taxes that does not relate exclusively to the Purchased Assets, (B) any information if making such information available would be reasonably likely to (1) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, or (2) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which any member of Seller Group is a party) or (C) any materials or information that Seller Parent determines, in its sole discretion, may be competitively sensitive, except to the extent that the parties agree to follow procedures and enter into arrangements that are mutually acceptable to
34
both parties and provided that the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements. Prior to Closing, none of Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives will contact or communicate, directly or indirectly, with any customer or supplier of the EIS Business for the purpose of discussing the EIS Business without notifying Seller Parent and permitting Seller Parent to participate (solely for the portions relating to the EIS Business) in any and all meetings, conversations and other communications (including receiving copies of written communications) between Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives and such customer or supplier.
(b) Each of the parties will hold, and will cause its Representatives to hold, in confidence all documents and information furnished to it by or on behalf of another party to this Agreement in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the terms of the NDA and Section 5.1.
(c) During the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller Parent shall provide Purchaser and its Representatives with copies of any material correspondence to or received from any Governmental Entity relating to the Horizon CID or any similar inquiry by a Governmental Entity, promptly following receipt thereof.
Section 4.7 Notification. Except as prohibited by Law, each party will give prompt notice to the other parties of (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty of such party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the Closing Date such that the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied, and (ii) any material failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such party hereunder such that the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied; provided, that no information provided pursuant to this Section 4.7 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder.
Section 4.8 Resignations. Seller Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each director and officer of the U.S. Acquired Company and the Canada Acquired Company to tender his or her resignation effective as of the Closing, as requested by Purchaser.
Section 4.9 Existing Credit Facility Cooperation. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall provide to Purchaser reasonable cooperation (including on a reasonably timely basis) as requested by Purchaser to facilitate the granting or pledging of collateral under Purchaser’s existing credit facilities; provided, however, that, no obligation of any Acquired Company under any agreement, certificate, document or instrument shall be effective until the Closing, none of the Acquired Companies or their respective Representatives or Affiliates shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any other liability in connection with any additional borrowing which Purchaser proposes to incur prior to the Closing, and in no event will such cooperation require Seller Group or the Acquired Companies or any of their Representatives or Affiliates to prepare or deliver audited financial statements or financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP for any period.

ARTICLE V
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
Section 5.1 Confidentiality. The parties understand and agree that the existence of this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of that certain confidentiality agreement entered into between Purchaser and Seller Parent, dated January 23, 2017 (the “NDA”) and the parties hereby agree to be bound by, and to cause their Affiliates and Representatives to be bound by, the NDA up to and until the Closing. Purchaser and Seller Parent further agree that the terms of the NDA shall be terminated as of Closing and shall be of no further force or effect thereafter. As of the Closing, Seller Parent and Purchaser will enter into a mutual confidentiality agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the NDA, and Purchaser’s obligations thereunder, will nonetheless survive and continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms with respect to any confidential information disclosed to Purchaser prior to the termination of this Agreement.
Section 5.2 Public Announcements. Neither Seller Parent nor Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or Representatives will issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or statement may be required by applicable Law, including the rules or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange, in which case Seller Parent and Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance and will consider in good faith the advice of such other party with respect thereto. Seller Parent further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser may disclose the terms and existence of this Agreement (i) to comply with the Purchaser or its Affiliate’s SEC disclosure obligations or (ii) in any public announcement or other public communication that is consistent with information disclosed in any other public announcement or other public communication that was previously made or issued in compliance with the terms of this Section 5.2.
(a) Purchaser will, for the period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, provide each EIS Employee who continues employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser (including the U.S. Acquired Company), following the Closing Date (each a “Continuing Employee”), with (i) a base salary or base wage rate (as applicable), (ii) a target cash bonus opportunity, (iii) severance benefits and (iv) employee benefits which are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those made available to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing.
(b) After the Closing, (i) EIS Employees will no longer be eligible to receive coverage or benefits under any Seller Employee Plan and each EIS Employee will cease participation in each Seller Employee Plan on the Closing Date, except as otherwise set forth in such Seller Employee Plan with respect to employees whose service with Seller Group or the Acquired Companies has terminated and (ii) any EIS Employee or other employee of the Seller Group or the Acquired Companies who is not a Continuing Employee will cease participation in
36
the Acquired Company Employee Plans on the Closing Date, except as otherwise set forth in such Acquired Company Employee Plan with respect to employees whose service with Seller Group or the Acquired Companies has terminated.
(c) Effective as of the Closing Date, each Continuing Employee will be eligible to receive coverage and benefits under the employee benefit plans, programs and policies (including, without limitation, severance, vacation, retirement, welfare and fringe benefit plans, programs or policies but excluding equity compensation plans, programs and policies) of Purchaser and its Affiliates in which similarly situated employees of the Purchaser or its Affiliates are eligible to participate (the “Purchaser Plans”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts and will cause its applicable Purchaser Designees to use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) recognize the prior service with the Seller Group, including predecessor employers, of each Continuing Employee for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and determination of level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that such recognition would result in duplication of benefits), and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under any applicable Purchaser Plan, except to the extent such pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period would have applied to such individual under the applicable Acquired Company Employee Plan or Seller Employee Plan, as the case may be, as of the time immediately prior to the Closing. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Purchaser will and will cause its applicable Purchaser Designees to credit each Continuing Employee with the amount of accrued but unused vacation time, sick time and other time-off benefits (together the “Time-Off Benefits”) as such Continuing Employee had with the Seller and its Subsidiaries, including predecessor employers, as of the Closing Date and will provide such Continuing Employees with the same rights, benefits and entitlements in respect to such Time-Off Benefits as they were entitled to from the Seller Group as of the Closing; provided, that the Seller will provide to Purchaser as of the Closing Date a schedule indicating for each Continuing Employee the type and amount of Time-Off Benefits for each Continuing Employee.
(d) As of the Closing, Purchaser shall allow each Continuing Employee who is based primarily in the United States to participate in a defined contribution plan and trust intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), subject to any eligibility requirements of such Purchaser 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing, subject to the consent of the applicable fiduciaries of the Purchaser 401(k) Plan, Purchaser shall allow the Continuing Employees to effect a “direct rollover” (as described in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of their account balances (including participant loans) under the McKesson Corporation Profit-Sharing Investment Plan to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan in the form of cash and participant loan notes.
(e) Following the Closing, Seller Group will retain (i) all Liabilities under each Seller Employee Plan, other than the Assumed Retention Bonuses and the Severance Obligations, and (ii) all other Liabilities with respect to any current or former employee or service provider who is not an employee of the U.S. Acquired Company as of the Closing, and Purchaser will assume (i) the retention bonuses (in each case, up to the amounts per individual (whether accrued or unaccrued as of the Closing) set forth next to such individual’s name on Section 5.3(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (together with any additional retention bonuses
37
that are awarded to Continuing Employees pursuant to Section 4.2) (the “Assumed Retention Bonuses”)), (ii) the Severance Obligations, (iii) all other Liabilities under each Acquired Company Employee Plan and (iv) with respect to employees of the U.S. Acquired Company as of the Closing and service providers to the EIS Business as of the Closing, all other Liabilities, in each case only with respect to Liability or claims for benefits that arise on or after the Closing Date.
(f) Nothing in this Section 5.3 shall (i) be construed as requiring the continued employment or engagement of any EIS Employee or other service provider after the Closing Date, (ii) create any third-party rights under this Agreement for any Continuing Employee or any other current or former employee of the EIS Business or (iii) an amendment to any Seller Employee Plan, Acquired Company Employee Plan or Purchaser Plan.
(a) Straddle Period. For purposes of determining a party’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 for Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date will be:
(i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts; or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) (other than as provided under Section 5.4(c)), deemed equal to the amount which would be payable (after giving effect to amounts which may be deducted from or offset against such Taxes) if the Taxable Period ended at the close of the Closing Date, it being understood that, except as required by applicable Law, all determinations necessary to effect the allocation described in this Section 5.4(a)(i) shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice of Seller Parent and its relevant Subsidiaries; and
(ii) otherwise deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (after giving effect to amounts which may be deducted from or offset against such Taxes) (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.
(iii) Any credit or refund resulting from an overpayment of Taxes for a Straddle Period will be prorated based upon the method employed in this Section 5.4(a) taking into account the type of Tax to which the refund relates.
(iv) In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 5.4(a) will be computed by reference to the level of such items immediately following the Closing, taking into account any changes in the level of such items occurring as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement but not taking into account any changes to the level of such items occurring as a result of actions taken after the Closing that are outside the ordinary course of business and that are not expressly contemplated by this Agreement.
38
(b) Property Taxes. Each party will timely and duly cause to be filed all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all real property, personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes levied with respect to the assets of the Acquired Companies and the Contributed Assets (“Property Taxes”) for any Straddle Period that are required by Law to be filed by such party for any Straddle Period, and will pay to the relevant Taxing Authority all Property Taxes required to be paid by such party (subject to any reimbursement provided for herein). The parties hereto will cooperate with one another and exchange any information or documents that may be reasonably necessary in order to (i) ascertain the amount of Property Taxes that will be the liability of one party under this Agreement but that will be required to be paid by the other party to a Taxing Authority and (ii) cause the party that is liable for the allocable share of Property Taxes under this Agreement either to make an advance payment to the other party of the amounts required to be paid by the other party (to the extent possible and no later than five (5) days prior to payment by the other party to the Taxing Authority) or, if advance payment is not possible, to promptly (and in no event later than ten (10) days after paid to the Taxing Authority) reimburse the other party of the amounts actually paid by the other party to the Taxing Authority.
(c) Transfer Taxes. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall each be liable for and pay when due one-half of any Transfer Taxes required by applicable Law to be paid with respect to the transfer of the U.S. Acquired Company Equity and the Canada Acquired Company Equity pursuant to this Agreement. The parties hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any Transfer Taxes to be paid pursuant to this Agreement. The party required by applicable Law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes will do so within the time period prescribed by applicable Law, and the other party will cooperate in all respects to the extent required in connection with such filing.
(d) Tax Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any refund of Taxes imposed in respect of the assets or income of the Acquired Companies, the Contributed Assets or the income, gains, profits, business, property, sales, purchases or operations of the EIS Business for any period ending on or before the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and any interest paid or credited in respect thereof (a “Refund”), will be the property of Seller Group (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies). In the event that any Refund is received by the Purchaser, or any Affiliate thereof, including by way of credit, offset or allowance against Taxes otherwise payable, an amount equal to the Refund (less any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in connection with obtaining the Refund) will be paid to Seller Parent (or such Seller Parent Subsidiaries designated by Seller Parent) within fifteen (15) days after actual receipt or actual reduction in Taxes paid. Any refund or credit in respect of Taxes imposed in respect of the assets or income of the Acquired Companies or the Contributed Assets received by Seller Group or any Affiliate thereof that is not a Refund will be the property of Purchaser, and Seller Parent shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such refund or the amount of such credit (less any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by any member of the Seller Group or any such Affiliate, as the case may be, in connection with obtaining such refund or credit) to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days upon such receipt from the applicable Taxing Authority or
39
reduction in Taxes otherwise payable. In the event that any refund of Taxes for which a payment has been made pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) is subsequently reduced or disallowed, the party entitled to such refund will indemnify and hold harmless payor for any Tax liability, including interest, assessed against such payor by reason of the reduction or disallowance. The Purchaser will, if Seller Parent so requests and at Seller Parent’s expense and direction, cause the relevant entity to file for and obtain any Refund to which Seller Group is entitled under this Section 5.4(d). The principles set forth in Section 5.4(a) will apply in determining the extent to which any Refund is attributable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.
(e) Preparation of Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Seller Parent will prepare and file all Tax Returns relating to the assets or income of the Acquired Companies or the Contributed Assets for Taxable Periods ending on or before the Closing Date (or, to the extent Seller Parent has prepared but has been unable to file such Tax Returns because the Closing Date has passed, Purchaser will file, or cause to be filed, any and all such Tax Returns as have been prepared by Seller Parent in accordance with this Section 5.4(e)) and Seller Parent will pay, or cause to be paid, any amount due in respect of each such Tax Return.
(f) Preparation of Post-Closing Tax Returns. The Purchaser will prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Tax Returns that relate to the assets or income of the Acquired Companies or the Contributed Assets for Straddle Periods. The Tax Returns for any Straddle Period will be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior Taxable Periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by Law. With respect to any Straddle Period Tax Return required to be filed with respect to the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date and as to which Taxes are allocable to Seller Parent under Section 8.2 hereof, the Purchaser will provide Seller Parent and its authorized representative with a copy of such completed Straddle Period Tax Return in draft form, together with a statement (with which the Purchaser will make available supporting schedules and information) certifying the amount of Tax shown on such Tax Return that is allocable to Seller Parent pursuant to Section 8.2, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Tax Return, and will accept any reasonable comments made by Seller Parent with respect to any issue or item which could give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2. Seller Parent and the Purchaser agree to consult and to attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of the review of such Tax Return and statement by Seller Parent or its authorized Representative.
(g) No Post-Closing Adjustments. Following the Closing, neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of the Purchaser will amend, refile or otherwise modify, or cause or permit any Affiliate to amend, refile or otherwise modify, any Tax election or Tax Return relating to the assets or income of the Acquired Companies or the Contributed Assets with respect to any Taxable Period (or portion of any Taxable Period), ending on or before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
(h) Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements and arrangements between any members of Seller Group, on the one hand, and any Acquired Company, on the other hand, will be terminated as of the Closing and thereafter the Acquired Companies will not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.
40
(i) Cooperation in Tax Matters. The parties hereto agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to one another, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Acquired Companies and the Contributed Assets as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim or proceeding relating to any Tax Return. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.4(i) will not be construed to grant Purchaser any right to review any Tax Return relating to Taxes of Seller Parent or the applicable Seller Parent Subsidiary, except to the extent Seller Parent may be required to provide Purchaser with a right to review, upon request, copies of Tax Returns solely relating to the Acquired Companies and the Contributed Assets in order to comply with the foregoing sentence of this Section 5.4(i). In the event any Taxing Authority informs Seller Parent or Purchaser of any notice of proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of Taxes related to the assets or income of the Acquired Companies or the Contributed Assets with respect to which the other party may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement, the party so informed will promptly notify the other party of such matter; provided, that, failure to promptly notify will not reduce the other party’s indemnity obligation hereunder, except to the extent such party’s ability to defend against such matter is actually prejudiced thereby; provided, further, that resolution of such audit, claim, assessment or other dispute will be governed by Section 8.3.
(j) Effect on Indemnity Rights of the Parties. Nothing in this Section will be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the rights of the parties hereto under ARTICLE VIII.
(k) Successors. For purposes of this Section 5.4(f), (g), (h) and (i), all references to the Purchaser and its Affiliates include successors.
(l) Survival. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Section 5.4 will survive the Closing and will remain in full force until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations for the Taxes in question (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof).
Section 5.5 Further Actions. At Closing or from time to time after the Closing, at the other party’s request, Seller Parent and Purchaser will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver to the other party such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, novation, assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as the requesting party may reasonably deem necessary in order to effectively transfer, convey and assign to Purchaser and the Acquired Companies (as applicable) and to confirm Purchaser’s and the Acquired Companies’ (as applicable) title to, all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law or contract, to put Purchaser and the Acquired Companies (as applicable) in actual possession and operating control of the Purchased Assets, and to cause the parties to fulfill their respective obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
Section 5.6 Parent Seller Trademarks; Company Name.
41
(a) Purchaser is not obtaining pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document any rights with respect to any Seller-Retained Trademarks, except for the limited license during the Phase-Out Period as expressly set forth in Section 5.6(b). Following the Phase-Out Period, Purchaser will not use or display, and will ensure that its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) do not use or display, any Seller-Retained Trademark as (or as part of) a corporate name or trade name. Purchaser will, as soon as is practicable but in any event no later than six (6) months following the Closing Date (such six (6) month period, the “Phase-Out Period”), (i) remove or obliterate all Seller-Retained Trademarks from all Company Offerings (and any other products and services of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies)) and all associated signage, websites, advertisements, marketing brochures, purchase orders, invoices, sales orders, labels, letterhead, business cards, employee and customer communications, packaging, shipping documents and other materials; and (ii) cease to use, manufacture, market, sell, license, distribute, or otherwise provide or make available any of the foregoing items bearing any Seller-Retained Trademark.
(b) During the Phase-Out Period, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 5.6, Purchaser and its Affiliates will have (and, effective as of the Closing Date, Seller Parent hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates) a royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive license to use in the United States and Canada those Seller-Retained Trademarks that the EIS Business used immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Licensed Seller-Retained Trademarks”) solely in connection with those Company Offerings for which (and in the same manner that) the EIS Business used such Seller-Retained Trademarks immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Licensed Company Offerings”). Such use must comply with Seller Parent’s applicable trademark usage guidelines, and the Licensed Company Offerings in connection with which the EIS Business uses the Licensed Seller-Retained Trademarks must be of such quality as will, in Seller Parent’s reasonable judgment, protect the goodwill, image and reputation adhering to the Licensed Seller-Retained Trademarks (and Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with Seller Parent to enable Seller Parent to monitor and ensure compliance with such standards). Purchaser will not (and will ensure that its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, do not) (i) register or attempt to register any Seller-Retained Trademark; (ii) challenge the validity, or any member of Seller Group’ use, of any Seller-Retained Trademark; (iii) modify any Seller-Retained Trademark or combine any Seller-Retained Trademark with any other Trademark; or (iv) use or display any Seller-Retained Trademark except as expressly permitted under this Section 5.6. All use of the Seller-Retained Trademarks by the EIS Business prior to Closing and all associated goodwill will inure to the sole benefit of Seller Parent.
Section 5.7 Records and Documents.
(a) At the Closing, Seller Parent will deliver all books and records of the Acquired Companies that are in Seller Parent’s possession to Purchaser and, promptly after Closing, Seller Parent will deliver to Purchaser (at no cost to Purchaser, except as expressly contemplated under the Transition Service Agreement) any other books and records that are in Seller Parent’s possession to the extent related to the EIS Business; provided, that (i) Seller Parent will be permitted to redact from such books and records any information not related to the EIS Business; and (ii) Seller Parent may retain copies of any such books and records that relate to Seller Group’s retained businesses or to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law or any member of Seller Group’s document retention policies in effect as of the date hereof, or to the extent necessary for performance by Seller Group under any Transaction Document.
42
(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, each party will retain all of the books and records (including personnel files) relating to the EIS Business relating to periods prior to the Closing. Each party will, and will cause its Subsidiaries (as applicable) to, at the other party’s expense, provide the other party and its Representatives with reasonable access to and the right to make copies of such books and records solely to the extent relating to the periods prior to the Closing; provided, that Seller Parent will be permitted to redact from such books and records any information not related to the EIS Business. The party accessing such books and records shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 5.7(b). If either party shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such six-year period, such party shall, prior to such disposition, give the other party a reasonable opportunity, at such other party’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as such other party may select; provided, that Seller Parent will be permitted to redact from such books and records any information not related to the EIS Business.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither party nor any of their respective Subsidiaries will have any obligation to make available to the other party or such other party’s Representatives, (i) any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return filed by a party or its predecessor, or any related material, or any other information related to Taxes that does not exclusively relate to the Purchased Assets or (ii) any information if making such information available would (1) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or (2) contravene any applicable Law or fiduciary duty.

(D) owning a venture capital fund or other investment fund, in each case, in which neither Seller Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries owns a majority of the ownership interests in the debt or equity holdings of such fund or has the right to appoint or elect a majority of the board of directors or equivalent body of such holding;
(E) fulfilling any obligation of any member of Seller Group or their Affiliates under this Agreement or any Transaction Document; or

Section 5.9 Non-Solicit. Without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date hereof, Seller Parent will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit any Continuing Employee to leave the employ of Purchaser or its Affiliates or violate the terms of their contracts, or any employment arrangements, with Purchaser or its Affiliates, or hire any Continuing Employee set forth in Section 5.9 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Nothing herein shall preclude Seller Parent from (a) engaging in general solicitations of employment by means of (i) general advertisements or (ii) through a professional recruiter who does not target the Continuing Employees; or (b) hiring a Continuing Employee (other than a Continuing Employee listed on Section 5.9 of the Disclosure Schedule) (i) who responds to a public advertisement or job listing on xxxxxxxx.xxx, or (ii) who applies for a posted position without any solicitation by Seller Group; or (c) hiring anyone (i) whose employment with Purchaser has been voluntarily terminated by such Continuing Employee at least six (6) months prior to commencement of employment discussions between Seller Parent or its Affiliates and such person or (ii) whose employment with Purchaser has been terminated by Purchaser.

Purchaser hereby waives (and, if applicable, will cause and Purchaser Designee to waive) compliance by Seller Group with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser (and, if applicable, any Purchaser Designee).
44
Section 5.11 Litigation and Similar Claims. From and after the Closing, each of Seller Group and Purchaser will reasonably cooperate in defending and pursuing, as appropriate, litigation and similar claims relating to the EIS Business or any of the Acquired Companies or any of the parties hereto, reasonably make available relevant employees and preserve and make reasonably available, to the extent legally and contractually permissible, all records reasonably necessary for such matters; provided, that this Section 5.11 shall not apply with respect to any disputes among any party hereto or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or any other party hereto or its Affiliates, on the other hand; provided, further, that any reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection with such cooperation shall be reimbursed by the requesting party.
Section 5.12 Cooperation with Post-Closing Preparation of Financial Statements. Seller Parent agrees to reasonably cooperate as requested by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s preparation of historical financial statements of the EIS Business as may be required to be filed with the SEC or other Governmental Entity following the Closing. Such cooperation shall consist solely of providing, as promptly as reasonably practicable (after taking into account Seller Parent resources as they may exist from time to time (“Seller Parent Resources”)), such financial and operating data regarding the EIS Business, the Acquired Companies and the Purchased Assets relating to periods prior to Closing as is requested by Purchaser to the extent that the same is reasonably ascertainable by Seller Parent from its books and records or from the books and records of Change Healthcare to which Seller Parent is permitted access for such purpose and to assist Purchaser in preparing (after taking into account Seller Parent Resources) such financial and operating data regarding the EIS Business, the Acquired Companies and the Purchased Assets relating to periods prior to Closing as may be required to prepare such historical financial statements, and to provide reasonable and customary management representation letters and reasonably assist Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain auditor consents, and providing access to personnel of Seller Parent, in each case as reasonably requested by Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the preparation of such financial statements within the time period required by the SEC, any third-Person or other Governmental Entity is the responsibility of Purchaser, and neither Seller Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability arising out of any failure by the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies, Seller Group or their respective Affiliates to timely satisfy requirements of the SEC, any third-Person or other Governmental Entity with respect to the preparation of historical financial statements or any other financial information of the EIS Business, the Acquired Companies or the Purchased Assets and any actual or anticipated failure to timely satisfy such requirements shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement by Seller Group or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller Group or their respective Affiliates in connection with this Section 5.12 or otherwise in connection with the preparation and audit of historical financial statements after the date of this Agreement, including costs of staff augmentation or professional fees. Purchaser further expressly agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any actual or anticipated failure to prepare such financial statements or other financial information shall not be a condition to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Closing under Section 6.1(a)(i) or otherwise, provide a basis for a delay of the Closing from that otherwise provided in this Agreement or be deemed a Material Adverse Effect. Purchaser further acknowledges that, following the Closing, neither Seller Parent nor its Affiliates will be required
45
to provide or prepare financial, operating data or other information regarding the EIS Business, the Acquired Companies and the Purchased Assets, to the extent such information is transferred to Purchaser as part of the books and records of the Acquired Companies or is derivable therefrom.

Section 8.3 Notice of Claim; Defense. Subject in all respects to Section 8.3(e) for Covered DOJ Actions:
52
(a) If (i) any third party or Governmental Entity institutes, threatens or asserts any Action or other claim that may give rise to Losses for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII (a “Third-Party Claim”) or (ii) any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) may in good faith have a claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying (to the extent known) the nature of such claim and the amount of all related Losses (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that any failure to give such Claim Notice or to provide any such facts or amounts will not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party and, to the extent prejudiced, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be reduced to the extent of any actual monetary prejudice resulting from the Indemnified Party’s delay or failure to give any such notice.
(b) In the event of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect to retain counsel of its choice, reasonably acceptable to the relevant Indemnified Parties, to represent such Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action and will pay the fees, charges and disbursements of such counsel; provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, it shall (x) notify Purchaser in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice) of its intent to do so, and (y) acknowledge in writing that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that Seller Parent shall assume and control the defense of the Horizon CID without any further action by Seller Parent. If the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Third-Party Claim after notifying Purchaser (on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party) of its assumption of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense, and the reasonable fees of its attorneys will be covered by the indemnity provided for in this ARTICLE VIII upon determination of the Indemnifying Parties’ indemnity obligations. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Parties may participate, at their own expense and through legal counsel of their choice, in any such Action, provided, that (i) subject to the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party may elect to continue to control the defense of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action and (ii) the Indemnified Parties and their counsel will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party’s counsel in connection with such Action. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle, compromise or discharge a Third-Party Claim either (A) with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (B) without any Indemnified Party’s consent if such settlement, compromise or discharge provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages (including monetary fines or penalties) and such monetary damages are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, requires no admission of Liability by any Indemnified Party (with no right of indemnification or other contribution from the Indemnified Part or its Affiliates) and contains a full release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from any Liabilities arising out of the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Indemnifying Party elects not to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnified Parties and assume control of such defense of a Third-Party Claims within twenty (20) days of receiving a Claims Notice with
53
respect to such Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party determines (after obtaining advice of counsel) that an actual or apparent conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party that precludes effective joint representation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, (iii) such Third-Party Claim involves a bona fide claim for injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party with respect to such Action or claim, (iv) such Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, Action, indictment, investigation or allegation or (v) Purchaser (on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party) reasonably believes such Third-Party Claim, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the business or operations of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, then the Indemnified Party may upon twenty (20) days written notice to the Indemnifying Party retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Third-Party Claim and assume control of the defense of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such Third-Party Claim, and the fees, charges and disbursements of such counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties will be payable by the Indemnifying Party; provided, the Indemnifying Parties may continue to participate, at their own expense and through legal counsel of their choice, in any such Action. Whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the parties hereto will cooperate in the defense thereof in accordance with Section 8.3(c) and, in the case of any Covered DOJ Action, in accordance with Section 8.3(e). Under no circumstances will the Indemnifying Party have any Liability in connection with any settlement of any Third-Party Claim that is entered into without its prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(c) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice involving a Third Party Claim, at the written request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party will grant the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives reasonable access during business hours, and only in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the relevant Indemnified Party, to the books and records, Contracts, documents, personnel, premises and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the Claim Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement (but subject to Section 8.3(e)), no Indemnified Party will have any obligation to make available to the Indemnifying Party any information if making such information available would be reasonably likely to (i) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege (it being understood that the Indemnified Party will cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers (including entry into a joint defense agreement or other arrangement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the parties, if either party determines that such joint defense agreement or other arrangement is reasonably necessary to make available such information hereunder) or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Indemnified Party is a party) (it being understood that the Indemnified Party will cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Indemnifying Party to occur without contravening such Law, duty or agreement). The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Indemnifying Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any cooperation requested by the Indemnifying Party under this Section 8.3(c).
(d) In the event of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute will be resolved by litigation in a court of competent
54
jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10.6. In the event of a dispute between an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party relating to a Direct Claim, if the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reach an agreement to resolve such dispute, a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by all applicable parties. In the event a dispute between an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party relating to a Direct Claim results in litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10.6, the final and non-appealable judgment with respect to such dispute will be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties thereto.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to: (A) the Horizon CID and (B) all investigations, litigation, appeals, or other legal proceedings arising out of or related to the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Horizon CID (each, clauses (A) and (B), a “Covered DOJ Action”) regardless of whether such investigations, litigation, appeals, or other legal proceedings arise (or a party becomes subject to such investigations, litigation, appeals, or other legal proceedings) prior to or after the Closing:
(i) (A) the Indemnifying Party shall have control over and the right to direct the defense, appeals, or settlement, including the right to retain counsel of its choice and to assert and prosecute any applicable counterclaims, and (B) the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees, charges and disbursements of such counsel; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party fails to actively defend such Covered DOJ Action, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the option to retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Covered DOJ Action and assume control of the defense of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such Covered DOJ Action. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Covered DOJ Action in accordance with this Section 8.3(e), the Indemnified Parties may participate, at their own expense and through legal counsel of their choice, in any such Covered DOJ Action, provided, that subject to the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party may elect to continue to control the defense of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action and the Indemnified Parties and their counsel will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party’s counsel in connection with such Action.
(ii) Without limitation to any other term of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in all reasonable respects in connection with any Covered DOJ Action, including promptly providing the Indemnifying Party with copies of all files or documents in its or any of its Affiliates’ possession relating to any Covered DOJ Action (to the extent not previously provided to the Indemnifying Party), making reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party the servers of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates as necessary to facilitate access to such files or documents, and making reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party and its employees, counsel, experts, and representatives employees of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with knowledge of the matters at issue, at no cost to the Indemnifying Party (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party).
(iii) The Indemnified Party will not admit any liability, file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement agreement, compromise or discharge with respect to any Covered DOJ Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 8.3(e)(iii)). The Indemnifying Party will have the right to control (subject to the first proviso of Section 8.3(e)(i)),
55
settle, compromise or discharge a Covered DOJ Action with DOJ or any private relator without any Indemnified Party’s consent, unless such a DOJ resolution includes an admission of liability, any required contribution or indemnification by the Indemnified Party or any commitment for equitable relief or conditions with any federal agency. The parties agree that for any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Covered DOJ Action subject to Section 8.2(a)(vi), such payment will be paid in full by Seller Parent or a member of the Seller Group (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, by the Acquired Companies or Purchaser). If a Covered DOJ Action involves a commitment for equitable relief or conditions with a federal agency other than DOJ or otherwise cannot be settled by the Indemnifying Party without consent of the Indemnified Party as set forth above in this Section 8.3(e)(iii), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to control (subject to the first proviso of Section 8.3(e)(i)), settle, compromise or discharge the matter with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the Indemnified Party may take into consideration the impact on the business of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates. If a Covered DOJ Action is resolved with DOJ such that no further obligation or contribution is required or owed by the Indemnifying Party to any private relator or federal agency, and the only matter that remains is negotiation or resolution of prospective equitable conditions with a federal agency other than DOJ, then the Indemnified Party may control, settle and compromise (at the Indemnified Party’s own expense) such matter with such other federal agency, provided that such equitable conditions do not involve or burden the current business operations of the Indemnifying Party.
(iv) The parties each shall keep the other informed of the status of any Covered DOJ Action and notify one another promptly following the assertion of any claims or filings of any court documents in connection with any Covered DOJ Action. The parties each shall notify the other promptly following its or any of its Affiliates’ receipt of any and all subpoenas, orders and material requests relating to any Covered DOJ Action.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnified Party agrees that the Indemnifying Party’s counsel may maintain copies of all information, materials and documents that may be needed in connection with any Covered DOJ Action.
(vi) The parties hereto agree to enter into a joint defense agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the parties prior to Closing.
(vii) In the event of a conflict between this Section 8.3(e) and any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 8.3(e) shall control.
Section 8.4 Indemnification for Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following will apply to indemnification claims with respect to Taxes:
(a) Payment of Indemnified Taxes. Payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount due under Section 8.2 will be made within ten (10) days following written notice by the Indemnified Party that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority is due, or, in the case of Taxes paid by any member of Seller Group thereof prior to the Closing, but that are the responsibility of Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof, within ten (10) days following written notice that such Taxes have been paid; provided, that the Tax Indemnitee will comply with its obligation to promptly notify the Tax Indemnitor under Section 8.4(b); provided, further,
56
that a Tax Indemnitor will not be required to make any payment earlier than two (2) days before the same is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Seller Parent receives an assessment or other notice of Taxes due with respect to the assets or income of the Acquired Companies or the Contributed Assets for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 8.2, then the Purchaser will pay such Taxes, or if any member of Seller Group (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date) pays such Taxes, then the Purchaser will pay to Seller Parent (or such Seller Parent Subsidiaries as designated by Seller Parent) the amount of such Taxes for which Purchaser is responsible within five (5) days following such payment. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4(b), payment of the Tax to the appropriate Taxing Authority will be considered to be due no earlier than the date of a Final Determination with respect to such Tax.
(b) Contests. The Tax Indemnitee will notify the Tax Indemnitor in writing promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, of becoming aware of the commencement after the Closing Date of any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding, or of any demand or claim on the Tax Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates by any Taxing Authority, which could give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 (a “Tax Indemnification Event”); provided, that failure to promptly so notify the Tax Indemnitor will not reduce the Tax Indemnitor’s indemnity obligation hereunder, except to the extent the Tax Indemnitor’s ability to defend against such Tax Indemnification Event is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice will contain factual information (to the extent known to the Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates) with respect to the Tax Indemnification Event in reasonable detail and will include copies of any notice or other written communication received from any Taxing Authority in respect thereof.
(c) Subject to Section 8.4(e), the Tax Indemnitor may elect to direct, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, any audit, claim for refund and administrative or judicial proceeding involving any Taxes for which indemnity could be sought from the Tax Indemnitor under Section 8.2 (any such audit, claim for refund or proceeding is referred to herein as a “Contest”). If the Tax Indemnitor elects to direct a Contest, it will promptly notify the Tax Indemnitee of its intent to do so and in any event within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice of the Tax Indemnification Event relating to such Contest and, if requested by the Tax Indemnitee, the Tax Indemnitor will furnish to the Tax Indemnitee in due course, as a condition to further pursuing such Contest, an opinion of the Tax Indemnitor’s independent tax counsel to the effect that the Tax Indemnitor has a reasonable basis to pursue such Contest. In the case of any Contest, the Tax Indemnitee and each of its Affiliates, as the case may be, will cooperate with the Tax Indemnitor in good faith in order to contest effectively any such Contest. The Tax Indemnitor will, on demand, reimburse all “out of pocket” costs and expenses which the Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliate may incur in connection with such Contest (but not in connection with exercising the right of attendance described below), including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements. The Tax Indemnitee or its duly appointed representatives will be allowed to attend all meetings between the Tax Indemnitor and the Taxing Authority in question and will be provided with copies of all material correspondence and documents relating to such Contest. If the Tax Indemnitor fails to notify the Tax Indemnitee of its election as herein provided, the Tax Indemnitee and each of its Affiliates, as applicable, may (but shall not be required to) pay, compromise or contest such asserted Tax liability and will be reimbursed by the Tax Indemnitor for all “out of pocket” costs and expenses, including
57
reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred pursuant to this sentence to the extent attributable to a Tax liability indemnifiable by the Tax Indemnitor hereunder. If the Tax Indemnitor notifies the Tax Indemnitee of its election as herein provided, neither the Tax Indemnitee nor any of its Affiliates may settle or compromise any asserted Tax liability without the written consent of the Tax Indemnitor; provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Tax Indemnitor chooses to direct the Contest, the Tax Indemnitee will promptly empower and will cause each of its Affiliates, as applicable, promptly to empower (by power of attorney and such other documentation as may be necessary and appropriate) such representatives of the Tax Indemnitor as it may designate to represent the Tax Indemnitee and any relevant Affiliate in the Contest insofar as the Contest involves an asserted Tax liability for which the Tax Indemnitor could be liable under Section 8.2.
(d) Subject to making any payment or deposit as may be required by Law as a precondition to pursuing any judicial determination, the Tax Indemnitor may cause a Contest to be prosecuted to a determination in a court of initial jurisdiction, but the Tax Indemnitor may not cause such Contest to be prosecuted to a determination in an appellate court.
(e) Nothing contained herein will permit the Tax Indemnitor to control any such Contest, if the Tax Indemnitee and each of its Affiliates, as applicable, will waive the payment by the Tax Indemnitor of any amount that might otherwise be payable by the Tax Indemnitor hereunder by way of indemnity in respect to such Contest. Upon any such waiver, the Tax Indemnitee will repay to the Tax Indemnitor any payments made by the Tax Indemnitor to any Taxing Authority in such Contest (together with interest, from the date the payment to the Taxing Authority was made by the Tax Indemnitor to the date of repayment by the Tax Indemnitee, at the statutory rate which will be applicable from time to time with respect to deficiencies for the Taxes in question).
Section 8.5 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as expressly provided otherwise and except in the case of fraud, this ARTICLE VIII will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees from and after the Closing Date for any claims arising under this Agreement, including claims of breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty; provided, however, that the foregoing will not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief.
Section 8.6 Limitation on Set-Off. Neither Purchaser nor Seller Parent will have any right to set off any unresolved indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII against, and there will not otherwise be any right to set off in the event of the non-performance of any obligation to make, (a) any payment due pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) any payment due under any other Transaction Document.
Section 8.7 Effect of Insurance, Taxes and Other Recoveries.
(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VIII will be reduced by (i) any amounts that are actually recovered (net of reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection) by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates from any third party with respect to such Losses and (ii) any insurance proceeds (net of
58
reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection, any deductible or self-insured retention amount and any prospective and retrospective premium adjustments) or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that are actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Losses. If any amount to be reduced under this Section 8.7 from any payment required under this ARTICLE VIII is determined after the date on which the Indemnifying Party is required pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII to pay such indemnification claim, the Indemnified Party will promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII had such determination been made at the time of such indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party. If, as a result of any indemnified event relating to a Loss, the Indemnified Party realizes an actual reduction in cash Taxes paid, or receives an actual cash refund of Taxes paid, in each case with respect to the year in which such indemnified event occurs, the Indemnified Party shall (within ten (10) days after such reduction or refund) pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such reduction or refund. For purposes of the preceding sentence, it shall be assumed that any deduction or losses attributable to the indemnified event are the last deductions or losses taken on the Indemnified Party’s Tax Return for the year in which the indemnified event occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any indemnification payment payable by the Indemnifying Party shall be determined without regard to any reduction in, or refund of, Taxes realized by the Indemnified Party.
Section 8.8 No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding the fact that any Person may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement related to any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Person will be entitled to recover the same amount of any Losses suffered by such Person more than once under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (i.e., no “double recovery”) in respect of such fact, event, condition or circumstance, and, with respect to any fact, event, condition or circumstance for which a specific line item liability has been included as a Current Liability and taken into account in the calculation of the Net Working Capital, an Indemnifying Party will not be liable for the amount by which the Purchase Price is reduced as a result of such inclusion, when compared against the calculation of the Purchase Price where Net Working Capital is calculated without such liability included as a Current Liability.
Section 8.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller Parent and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes, including for U.S. federal income Tax and for state Tax purposes.
ARTICLE IX

(a) by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller Parent;
(b) by either Purchaser or Seller Parent, if the Closing has not occurred on or before December 1, 2017 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this

(c) by either Purchaser or Seller Parent, if any Law is in effect or any Governmental Entity has issued an Order or taken any other action which permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Closing and such Order or other action has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate under this Section 9.1(c) will not be available to any party whose breach of this Agreement has been the principal cause of such action;
(d) by Purchaser, if Seller Parent has breached any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement contained herein such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(a) would not be satisfied if the date of such termination was the Termination Date, which breach is incapable of being cured by the Termination Date, or, if capable of being cured by the Termination Date, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice of such breach and (y) the Termination Date; provided, however, that Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements in this Agreement; or
(e) by Seller Parent, if Purchaser has breached any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement contained herein such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied if the date of such termination was the Termination Date, which breach is incapable of being cured by the Termination Date, or, if capable of being cured by the Termination Date, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice of such breach and (y) the Termination Date; provided, however, that Seller Parent is not then in material breach of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements in this Agreement.
(f) The party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1 (other than subsection (a)) will give written notice of such termination to the other party.

This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Designee”); provided, further, that any such assignment will not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement and any such Purchaser Designee executes a joinder to this Agreement.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible, in a mutually acceptable manner, in order that the Transactions will be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, and that any breach of this Agreement could not adequately be compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, the parties will be entitled, without posting a bond or similar indemnity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court as specified in Section 10.6 in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
