The Seller shall, and shall cause each applicable Affiliate to, pay and satisfy in due course all Liabilities of the Seller or its Affiliates (including the Excluded Liabilities) and shall indemnify, subject to and in accordance with Article VII hereof, the Buyer and its Affiliates against any Losses arising from all Liabilities of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Excluded Liabilities). “Excluded Liabilities” means all Liabilities of the Seller and its Affiliates other than those specifically listed or described in Section 2.2(a), including the following:

(ii) to the extent the proceeds of the insurance policies described in Section 2.2(c)(i) are insufficient to fully satisfy a Shared Liability, the responsibility for the remaining portion of such Shared Liability shall be allocated among, and assumed by, the parties in good faith, on an equitable basis, based upon and to the extent that the underlying assets to which such Liabilities relate or arise from are Transferred Assets or Excluded Assets; and

(iii) with respect to the Liabilities reflected on Schedule 2.2(c), the responsibility for such Shared Liability shall be allocated as set forth in Schedule 2.2(c).

For the avoidance of doubt, the matters for which indemnification is available pursuant to Sections 7.2(a), 7.2(b), 7.2(c), 7.3(a), 7.3(b) and 7.3(c) shall not constitute Shared Liabilities.

In addition, on the Closing Date the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the balance of any accounts receivable or other amounts payable by Grifols or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.5(b).

(b) Estimated Closing Statement; Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Estimated Closing Statement. No later than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Seller will prepare in good faith and provide to the Buyer a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimate of the Inventory (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) and reasonably detailed supporting documentation. The calculations and estimates set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. After delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Seller will afford the Buyer and its Representatives with reasonable access on reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours to the Business Books and Records related to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement, provided that such actions do not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Business or the Seller’s Retained Business.

(ii) Proposed Final Closing Statement. No later than 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared, and will provide to the Seller, a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its proposed final determination of the Inventory (the “Proposed Final Closing Statement”) and reasonably detailed supporting documentation. The Proposed Final Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. After delivery of the Proposed Final Closing Statement, the Buyer will afford the Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access on reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours to the Business Books and Records related to the preparation of the Proposed Final Closing Statement, provided that such actions do not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Business.

(iii) Dispute Notice. The Proposed Final Closing Statement (and the proposed final determination of the Inventory reflected thereon) will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties unless the Seller provides a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the Buyer no later than the 30th Business Day after the delivery to the Seller of the Proposed Final Closing Statement. Any Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Proposed Final Closing Statement which the Seller believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the Seller’s proposed changes to the amount of such item and (ii) the Seller’s alternative calculation of the disputed item, and in each case, with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice or of which the Seller has accepted in writing to the Buyer will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on such 30^th Business Day.

(iv) Resolution of Disputes. If a Dispute Notice is timely delivered to the Buyer, then the Buyer and the Seller will, during the 30 calendar days immediately following receipt of the Dispute Notice by the Buyer (the “Resolution Period”), attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Dispute Notice in good faith. Any resolution by the Seller and the Buyer during the Resolution Period as to any disputed amounts will be final, binding and conclusive. If the Seller and the Buyer do not resolve all disputed items on the Proposed Final Closing Statement by the end of the Resolution Period, the parties will submit the disputed items to the Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants will promptly review only those unresolved items set forth and objected to in the Dispute Notice, provided that each party will be afforded an opportunity to submit a written statement in favor of its position and to advocate for its position orally before the Independent Accountants.

(v) The Independent Accountants will have no authority to make any adjustments to any amounts other than unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Dispute Notice. In addition, in resolving any such disputed item, the Independent Accountants (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.3(b), (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the highest value claimed for such item or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either the Buyer or the Seller, (iii) may consider only the written and oral presentations of the Buyer and the Seller in resolving any matter which is in dispute and (iv) shall render its decision in writing setting forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which its decision was made within 30 days after the disputed items have been submitted to it. The Independent Accountants’ decision shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties, and the Proposed Final Closing Statement shall be modified to reflect such resolution. As used herein, the Proposed Final Closing Statement, as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Independent Accountants is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Statement.” Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with the Independent Accountants (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to direct the Independent Accountants to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable after the commencement of the engagement of the Independent Accountants.

(vi) The Independent Accountants shall allocate its fees, costs and expenses between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the merits (i.e., based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each such party bears to the amount actually contested by such party).

(vii) Purchase Price Adjustment. If the Inventory (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) and as set forth in the Final Closing Statement) is (i) greater than the Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller the difference between such amounts, or (ii) less than the Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer the difference between such amounts.

Section 2.4 Closing. The sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets, and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Proskauer Rose LLP, Eleven Times Square, New York, New York, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the second Business Day following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Article VI (other than such conditions as may, by their nature, only be satisfied at the Closing or on the Closing Date), or at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as the Seller and the Buyer mutually may agree in writing; provided that (i) unless otherwise agreed by the Buyer, the Closing shall occur no earlier than the Extended Closing Date, and (ii) if the Closing is delayed pursuant to clause (i), then from and after the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than such conditions as may, by their nature, only be satisfied at the Closing or on the Closing Date), the Buyer shall no longer have the right to assert the failure of any conditions set forth in Article VI as a basis not to consummate the Closing and all such conditions shall be deemed to be irrevocably satisfied. The day on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 2.5 Consents to Certain Assignments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign any asset, contract, permit, claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent or waiver, or the taking of a similar action, of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention under any agreement or Law to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or in any way adversely affect the rights of the Seller or, upon transfer, the Buyer under such asset, contract, permit, claim or right. The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents or waivers required to assign to the Buyer any Transferred Assets that require the consent of a third party, without any conditions to such transfer or changes or modifications of terms thereunder.

(b) If any such consent or waiver is not obtained prior to Closing and as a result thereof the Buyer shall be prevented by such third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to such Transferred Asset intended to be transferred hereunder, or if any attempted assignment would adversely affect the rights of the Seller or the Buyer thereunder, then (i) for a period of 12 months following the Closing, the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) or waiver(s), or to take such actions, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably possible, and (ii) the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement, as the Seller and the Buyer shall agree, under which the Buyer would, to the extent practicable, obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Buyer; provided, that all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such cooperation and related actions shall be paid by the Buyer. The Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer when received all monies received by the Seller under such Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder and the Buyer shall indemnify and promptly pay the Seller for all Liabilities of the Seller associated with such Transferred Asset. The Seller shall not be required to expend any material amounts or pay any consent or similar fees in connection with its efforts hereunder.

Section 2.6 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Seller and the Buyer agree that the Purchase Price (and any adjustments thereto) and the Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated for tax purposes among the Transferred Assets. Within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a schedule (the “Initial Allocation Schedule”) allocating the sum of the Purchase Price (and any adjustments thereto) and any Assumed Liabilities among the Transferred Assets, in such amounts reasonably determined by the Buyer. The Initial Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations pursuant thereto or any successor provision. Except as provided in Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.6(c) below, at the close of business on the 60th calendar day after the delivery of the Initial Allocation Schedule, the Initial Allocation Schedule shall become binding upon each of the Buyer (and its Affiliates) and the Seller (and its Affiliates) and shall be the final allocation schedule (the “Final Allocation Schedule”).

(b) The Seller shall have a period of 30 calendar days (the “Objection Period”) from the date of delivery of the Initial Allocation Schedule to present in writing to the Buyer, notice of any objections the Seller may have to the allocations set forth therein. If the Seller raises any objections within the Objection Period to the Initial Allocation Schedule, the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to the Initial Allocation Schedule within 30 calendar days after the Seller provides written notice of such objections. If the Buyer and the Seller reach written agreement amending the Initial Allocation Schedule within such 30-day period, the Initial Allocation Schedule, as so amended, shall become binding upon the Buyer (and its Affiliates) and the Seller (and its Affiliates) and shall be the Final Allocation Schedule.

(c) If the parties fail to agree within 30 calendar days after the delivery of the Seller’s notice of any objections, then (i) the Buyer may use one purchase price allocation and the Seller may use a different purchase price allocation, (ii) the Buyer and the Seller shall each use (and cause their Affiliates to use) their purchase price allocation in connection with the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns, and (iii) the Buyer shall have no liability to the Seller, and the Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer, for any additional Taxes that may be imposed by any Taxing authority to the extent that such Tax arises solely as a result of the inconsistencies between their respective purchase price allocations.

(d) If the Buyer and the Seller have agreed to a Final Allocation Schedule, each party agrees to file all Returns (including IRS Form 8594 and any claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule and will take no position inconsistent with the Final Allocation Schedule unless requested to do so in any proceeding before any Governmental Authority, in each case, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. In the event any Governmental Authority disputes the Final Allocation Schedule, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto, and both the Buyer and the Seller agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Final Allocation Schedule in any audit or similar proceeding. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.7 will be allocated in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.7 Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Article II (other than payment of the Purchase Price at Closing pursuant to Section 2.3(a)) will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.8 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after reasonable consultation with the Person with respect to whom any withholding or deduction may be made, each Person who is entitled or required to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such payment such amounts as such Withholding Agent is required to deduct and withhold in respect of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable U.S. Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate

Governmental Authority by the Withholding Agent under the Code or any other provision of applicable U.S. Law and original receipts or certified copies thereof showing remittance of such Taxes are provided to the Person in respect of whom such withholding or deduction was made, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person.

(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.5(a) and except for this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the agreements specifically referred to therein as remaining outstanding after the Closing, all agreements and Contracts between the Buyer and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be terminated effective as of the Closing, without any consideration or further liability to any party and without the need for any further documentation.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, except as set forth in this Section 5.5(b), the Seller and the Buyer hereby agree to terminate, and shall cause their Affiliates to execute or acknowledge any required documentation to effectuate the termination of, all rights and obligations of each party under the Existing Collaboration Agreement without any requirement for further notices or consents, or Liability on the part of any party thereto. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay any and all amounts (including any outstanding accounts receivable) due to the Seller or any of its Affiliates under the Existing Collaboration Agreement as of the Closing Date under Section 6.1 thereof or otherwise. Until the termination of all obligations under the Existing Collaboration Agreement, the Seller and the Buyer shall cause their respective Affiliates to comply with their obligations thereunder in good faith in accordance with past practice. Each of the Seller and the Buyer agree and will cause their Affiliates, prior to the Closing, to continue to operate in the ordinary course under the Existing Collaboration Agreement, including with respect to quantities of blood screening products purchased and delivered in accordance with previously delivered forecasts, and related payments for such products, in each case consistent with past practice.

(a) Each of the parties shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, in confidence all documents and information furnished to it by or on behalf of the other parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the Ancillary Agreements pursuant to the terms of the confidential disclosure agreement, dated October 17, 2016, between the Buyer and the Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing Date; provided, however, that after the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

If the Seller or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives is compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or it becomes necessary for the Seller or any of its Affiliates to disclose such information in connection with any legal or administrative proceeding, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information as is necessary, provided that Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer, at the Buyer’s expense, if the Buyer seeks to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(a) During the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any person who is offered employment by the Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.11 or any employee of the Buyer or its Affiliates whose total annual compensation is in excess of $100,000, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation that is not directed specifically to any such employee; provided that nothing in this Section 5.7(a) shall prevent the Seller or any of its Affiliates from (i) hiring or soliciting any employee whose employment with the Buyer or any of its Affiliates was terminated by the Buyer or its Affiliates or (ii) hiring or soliciting any employee whose employment with the Buyer or any of its Affiliates has been terminated by the employee, after 180 days from the date of termination of such employment.

(b) During the Restricted Period, the Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee of the Seller or its Affiliates whose total annual compensation is in excess of $100,000, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation that is not directed specifically to any such employee; provided that nothing in this Section 5.7(b) shall prevent the Buyer or any of its Affiliates from (i) hiring or soliciting any employee whose employment with the Seller or any of its Affiliates was terminated by the Seller or its Affiliates or (ii) hiring or soliciting any employee whose employment with the Seller or any of its Affiliates has been terminated by the employee, after 180 days from the date of termination of such employment.

(c) During the Subject Period, the Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, engage in or do any of the following in the Territory: (i) manage, control, render services to or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in, any business or Person (except the Buyer or its Affiliates) in connection with the design, development, manufacture, license, distribution, marketing or sale of any product relating to the Licensed Donor Screening Field; or (ii) design, develop, manufacture, license, distribute, market, or sell any product relating to the Licensed Donor Screening Field; provided, however, that this Section 5.7(c) shall not prevent the Seller or its Affiliates from (A) engaging in the Retained Business (including the Licensed Transplantation Field), or (B) holding or making investments not in excess of 5% of the outstanding securities of any publicly-traded entity.

(d) During the Subject Period, the Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, engage in or do any of the following in the Territory: (i) manage, control, render services to or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in, any business or Person (except the Seller or its Affiliates) in connection with the design, development, manufacture, license, distribution, marketing or sale in the Molecular Detection Field; or (ii) design, develop, manufacture, license, distribute, market, or sell any product using the Licensed Intellectual Property in the Molecular Detection Field; provided, however, that this Section 5.7(d) shall not prevent the Buyer or its Affiliates from (A) engaging in the Licensed Transplantation Field, or (B) holding or making investments not in excess of 5% of the outstanding securities of any publicly-traded entity, or taking any actions with respect to products in the Molecular Detection Field that do not use the Licensed Intellectual Property.

(e) Each party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.7 would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party or its Affiliates, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations, the other party or its Affiliates may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(f) Each party acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other party and its Affiliates and constitute a material inducement to the other party to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.7 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.7 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.8 Consents and Filings; Further Assurances.

(a) Each of the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as practicable, including to (i) obtain from Governmental Authorities and other Persons all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days after the date hereof) make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Law. The Buyer shall pay all filing fees and other charges for the filing under the HSR Act for both parties.

(b) Each of the parties shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority. Neither party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information

and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods including under the HSR Act. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Certain consents and waivers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement identified in Schedule 3.3(a) or non-Material Contracts may be required from parties to contracts to which the Seller is a party and have not been and may not be obtained. Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to the Buyer arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain such consents or waivers that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the termination of any such contract as a result thereof, and no such failure or termination shall result in the failure of any condition set forth in Article VI.

Section 5.9 Public Announcements. On and after the date hereof and through the Closing Date, the parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any press release or make any public statement prior to obtaining the other party’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that no such approval shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law, any listing agreement of any party hereto or to the extent reasonably necessary for either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.10 Use of Names.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller is not conveying ownership rights or granting the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer a license to use any of the Marks of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the name “Hologic” or any trade name, trademark, service xxxx, logo or domain name incorporating the name “Hologic”) and, after the Closing, the Buyer shall not knowingly use, or permit any Affiliate of the Buyer to use, in any manner the Marks of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or any word that is confusingly similar in sound or appearance to such Marks except as expressly set forth in Section 5.10(b).

(b) For a period of 180 days following the Closing Date, the Buyer and its Affiliates may use, solely in connection with the operation of the Business as operated immediately prior to the Closing, the Business’s existing marketing, promotional and sales materials, stationary, letterhead, business cards, signs, billboards, advertisements, vehicle and equipment markings, invoices, purchase orders, forms, remaining inventory and other media, including respective online material and substantially similar reproductions thereof made in the ordinary course of business, in each case containing the name “Hologic” or any Xxxx incorporating the name “Hologic,” after which period the Buyer shall cause the Business to remove or obliterate all such Marks from such materials or cease using such materials.

(c) The Buyer shall ensure that all use of the Marks by the Buyer and the Business as provided in this Section 5.10 shall be only with respect to products and services of a level of quality equal to or greater than the quality of products and services with respect to which the Business used such Marks prior to the Closing. Any and all goodwill generated by the use of such Marks under this Section 5.10 shall inure solely to the benefit of the Seller. In any event, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Business not to, use such Marks in any manner that might damage or tarnish the reputation of the Seller or the goodwill associated with such Marks.

Section 5.11 Employee Matters.

(a) No later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to the Buyer an updated Schedule 1.1(a) (list of Business Employees) (provided that any additions or deletions thereto shall be mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller). As of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make offers of employment to each Business Employee who is actively employed on the Closing Date and, for Business Employees on an approved leave of absence who are expected to return to active employment within six months, the Buyer shall or shall cause its Affiliates to, make offers of employment to each Business Employee effective as of his or her return to active employment, provided that such Business Employee returns to active employment with the Buyer or its Affiliates within six months of the Closing Date. All Business Employees to whom the Buyer (or an Affiliate of the Buyer) offers employment and who accept such offers of employment and become employed by the Buyer (or an Affiliate of the Buyer), are herein referred to herein as the “Transferred Employees” and each Transferred Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, as of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Transferred Employee who is not actively at work on the Closing Date, upon such individual’s return to active employment with the Buyer or its Affiliates).

(b) The Buyer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Transferred Employee, for a period of 12 months following the Closing: (i) a base salary and annual cash incentive opportunities that each are substantially comparable to those being provided to such Transferred Employee by the Seller immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by the Seller immediately prior to the Closing, provided that for purposes of the covenants of this Section 5.11(b), defined benefit pension plans, retiree welfare benefits, long term incentive compensation and equity compensation shall be disregarded. For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall provide to any Transferred Employee who is not party to an employment agreement, who is terminated by the Buyer and its Affiliates without “cause” (within the meaning of the severance arrangements of the Buyer as in effect from time to time) and who timely executes and delivers (without revocation) a release of claims against the Buyer and its Affiliates (to the extent required by the Buyer) severance benefits in amounts and on terms and conditions substantially comparable to the severance benefits that would have been provided by the Seller and its Affiliates to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c) The Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer to provide information about the Employee Plans necessary to assist the Buyer in complying with this Section 5.11. Following the date hereof, the Seller shall also provide the Buyer with any additional compensation-related information concerning Business Employees (and the compensation and benefits payable thereto), including, without limitation, annual incentive and long term incentives previously earned, to the extent (i) such information is reasonably requested by the Buyer and relevant to any determination to be made by the Buyer with respect to the compensation of any Business Employees under this Agreement and (ii) such information is provided in accordance with any material consent and local Law requirements applicable thereto, and the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such consents.

(d) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by the Buyer or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred Employees and their respective covered dependents under such plan to the extent that such conditions, exclusions or waiting periods were satisfied or did not apply under the Employee Plans in which such Transferred Employees were participating immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) provide each Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan in the year in which the Closing occurs, to the extent credited under the Employee Plans in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing.

(e) The Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee with credit for all service with the Seller, or any former entity for which the Seller has previously credited each Transferred Employee, under each employee benefit plan, policy, program or arrangement of the Buyer and its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employee is eligible to participate, for purposes of eligibility and vesting and, solely for purposes of vacation and severance entitlements, accrual of benefits, solely to the extent such past service was recognized for such Transferred Employees under the comparable Employee Plans in which the Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing and to the same extent past service is credited under such plans or arrangements for similarly situated employees of the Buyer and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.11(e) shall be construed to require crediting of service for purposes of the calculation of benefits or that would result in (i) duplication of benefits, (ii) service credit for any purposes under any plans for which participation, service and/or benefit accrual is frozen or any defined benefit pension plan or any post-employment health or post-employment welfare plan, or (iii) service credit under a newly established plan for which prior service is not taken into account for employees of the Buyer and its Affiliates generally.

(f) Effective as of the Closing, the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents shall be treated as having terminated employment under the terms of the Employee Plans, subject to the terms and conditions of the Transition Services Agreement. On or as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Seller shall pay (to the extent not previously paid) to the Transferred Employees who are eligible to receive annual incentive compensation payments from the Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to the Seller’s annual bonus programs: (i) the annual bonuses earned by such Transferred Employees for fiscal year 2016 under such plans, to the extent unpaid; and (ii) a pro rata portion, at target level, of annual bonuses accrued in respect of fiscal year 2017 through the Closing Date.

(g) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall take all necessary action to cause the account balances and/or accrued benefits to the Transferred Employees under the Seller’s 401(k) plans and the Seller’s non-qualified defined contribution savings plans maintained for the benefit of any of the Transferred Employees to be fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the Closing Date, and the Seller and its Affiliates shall contribute to such 401(k) plans and defined contribution savings plan(s) the matching contributions relating to periods prior to the Closing Date based on the amount of percentage that the Seller is required to contribute to such plan on behalf of the Transferred Employees through the Closing Date as if such employees had satisfied all prerequisites for receiving such contributions as of the Closing Date. To the extent permitted under Section 401(k) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder, Transferred Employees who participate in the Seller’s 401(k) plans shall be eligible to receive, at their election, a distribution of their account balance from the Seller’s 401(k) plan after the Closing Date. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a 401(k) plan of the Buyer or one of its Affiliates to accept eligible rollovers of such distributions. Rollovers relating to any Transferred Employee may include participant loans, provided that it is permitted by the applicable 401(k) plan accepting such rollover (it being expressly understood that the Buyer is not obligated to establish or amend any 401(k) plan to accept such rollovers).

(h) The Seller shall be responsible for (i) the payment of any earned but unpaid salaries, bonus, incentive pay, vacation pay, sick pay, holiday pay, other paid time off, severance pay and other like obligations and payments to the Business Employees, for all periods of employment by the Seller that are due on or prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent such amounts are paid to terminating employees generally, (ii) the payment of any amounts due to the Transferred Employees pursuant to the Employee Plans or other employee benefit plans of the Seller or its Affiliates as a result of its employment of the Business Employees through and including the Closing Date and (iii) the payment of salaries and provision of benefits to the extent provided under the Transition Services Agreement.

(i) Effective as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall, and hereby does, release all Transferred Employees from any confidentiality obligations to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary for such Transferred Employees to provide services to the Buyer in respect of the Business, and the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, enforce any non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire or similar covenant with respect to any Transferred Employee or take any other action that would reasonably restrict or limit any Transferred Employee from providing employment or other services to the Buyer and its Affiliates.

(j) The Seller shall be responsible for complying with the requirements of COBRA for its employees (including the Transferred Employees) and their “qualified beneficiaries” whose “qualifying event” (as such terms are defined in Section 4980B of the Code) occurs on or prior to the Closing Date and, if applicable, upon any loss of coverage provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. The Buyer shall have no liability under COBRA relating to any Business Employees for events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date and, if applicable, upon any loss of coverage provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

(k) The Seller agrees to provide, and shall cause its Affiliates to provide, any required notice under and to otherwise comply with, and to retain all Liabilities relating to, the WARN Act with respect to any event affecting the employees of the Business prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer agrees to provide any required notice under and to otherwise comply with, and to assume all Liabilities relating to, such Laws with respect to any event affecting Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date. On or as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a true, complete and correct list of all persons who suffered an “employment loss” (as defined in the WARN Act) during the 90-day period prior to the Closing Date. In no event shall the Buyer or any of its Affiliates involuntarily terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee within the 90-day period following the Closing Date that would result in material WARN Act liabilities for the Seller or its Affiliates. In no event shall the Seller or any of its Affiliates involuntarily terminate the employment of any employee of the Seller of any of its Affiliates within the 90-day period following the Closing Date that would result in material WARN Act liabilities for the Buyer or its Affiliates.

(l) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) restrict the ability of the Buyer to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee for any reason at any time after the effective date of his or her employment with the Buyer, (ii) be treated as an amendment of any Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (iii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.11, (iv) obligate the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to adopt or maintain any particular benefit plan, program, policy or practice on or following the Closing Date, or (v) confer upon any current or former employee of the Business, or upon any representative of such person, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 5.12 Regulatory Transfers.

(a) The Buyer shall file, at its own expense, as soon as possible after the Closing, requests for the re-issuance or transfer of the Transferred Product Registrations to show the Buyer or its Affiliates as the holder of the Transferred Product Registrations. The Buyer shall be solely responsible for the prosecution of such filings and for securing any such further approvals from any relevant Governmental Authority as may be required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the operation of the Business following the Closing. The Buyer shall take all necessary steps to obtain the re-issuance or transfer of the Transferred Product Registrations described in this Section 5.12 as promptly and diligently as possible. The Buyer shall notify the Seller of the decision of any relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such re-issuance or transfer within three Business Days after such decision. The Seller shall provide all reasonable assistance with the re-issuance or transfer of the Transferred Product Registrations as may be necessary or appropriate for the Buyer to effect such re-issuance or transfer in accordance with this Section 5.12.

(b) The Buyer is hereby granted permission to conduct the Business for its own account during the period from the Closing Date until the date on which all Transferred Product Registrations have been transferred to or obtained by the Buyer or its Affiliates under the Transferred Product Registrations held by the Seller or its Affiliates as of the Closing Date.

Section 5.13 Tax Matters; Real Property Expenses.

(a) The Seller and the Buyer shall each be responsible for, and shall each indemnify the other for, one-half of any and all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains, mortgage, recordation or similar Taxes and all recording or filing fees, notarial fees and other similar costs (including all interest, penalties and additions imposed with respect to such amounts) incurred by the Seller or the Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The party that has the primary obligation to do so under applicable Law shall file any Returns due with respect to Taxes described in this Section 5.13(a) and shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, any such Returns. Within 10 days of the due date (including any applicable extensions) of any such Return filed by a party, the non-filing party shall provide any amounts that are the obligation of such non-filing party to the filing party.

(b) All real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, or ad valorem obligations and similar recurring Taxes and fees (other than any income Taxes, any Taxes based on income or receipts, or any Taxes described in Section 5.13(a)) on or with respect to the Business and the Transferred Assets shall be allocated to the Seller, on the one hand, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and to the Buyer, on the other hand for any Post-Closing Tax Period. Any such Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that is in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. Any such Taxes for the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that is in the Post-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(c) To the extent relevant to the determination of Transferred Assets, Excluded Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Excluded Liabilities, all other Taxes shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period as if such taxable period ends as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(d) The party that has the primary obligation to do so under applicable Law shall file any Return that is required to be filed in respect of Taxes described in this Section 5.13(d), and that filing party shall pay the Taxes shown on such Return. Such party shall provide the other party with copies of all Returns relating to any Straddle Period as soon as practicable after the preparation, but prior to the filing, thereof, for the other party’s review. If the Buyer or the Seller remits (or has previously remitted) to the appropriate Governmental Authority payment for Taxes which are subject to proration under this Section 5.13(b) and such payment includes (or included) some or all of the other party’s prorated share of such Taxes, such other party shall be liable for the prompt reimbursement of the paying party for such other party’s share of such Taxes.

(e) Subject to Section 5.2, the Seller and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing their respective Returns and in connection with any audit with respect to any Taxes, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes; provided, however, that such access and assistance do not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Buyer or the Seller; and provided, further, that in no event will the Buyer or the Seller be required to disclose any Returns that are Returns of an Affiliated Group of which the Buyer or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, is or was a member or any Buyer Returns for a Post-Closing Tax Period. Any documents requested by the Buyer or the Seller shall be limited to those documents that reasonably relate to the Returns (including any workpapers connected thereto), disputes and other matters relating to Taxes in respect of the Business and the Transferred Assets. Nothing in this Section 5.13 shall be interpreted as requiring either party to disclose to the other party confidential information that does not relate to the Returns (including any workpapers connected thereto), disputes and other matters relating to Taxes in respect of the Business and the Transferred Assets, and either party may make appropriate redactions to documents provided to protect such confidential information.

(f) The Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for the post-Closing portion of any prepaid expenses associated with the Transferred Real Property, including a prorated portion of the cost of any utilities (i.e., sewage, water, etc.).

Section 5.14 Insurance; Risk of Loss.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the Business shall cease to be insured by the Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ insurance policies or by any of their self-insurance programs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall retain all rights to control its insurance policies and self-insurance programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and self-insurance programs and the Seller shall retain any premiums or other retentions paid by the Business prior to the Closing Date in respect of any insurance coverage.

(b) In the event the Buyer provides written notice to the Seller of a claim asserted in connection with the Business after the Closing arising out of an occurrence taking place prior to the Closing (“Post-Closing Claims”), the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain recoveries under any applicable occurrence-based insurance policies maintained by the Seller that covered the Business to the extent such insurance coverage exists and provides coverage and shall pay to the Buyer any net proceeds recovered thereunder; provided, that the Buyer shall (i) be responsible for the satisfaction or payment of any and any associated self-retentions, deductibles, costs and expenses with respect to any Post-Closing Claim and shall reimburse the Seller for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with collecting insurance proceeds in respect of such claims and (ii) the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller with respect to the tendering of any such claims including providing notices, information and backup materials as may be necessary in connection therewith.

(c) The Seller agrees that with respect to any act, omission, event or occurrence that results in a material Loss relating to any Transferred Asset that first occurs, and that the Seller first becomes aware of, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending as of the Closing that is covered by insurance policies under which the applicable Transferred Asset is insured prior to the Closing, (i) the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Buyer of the occurrence of such event, and (ii) the Seller shall promptly make claims under such policies in respect of such act, omission, event, occurrence or Loss, subject to the terms and conditions of such policies, and, to the extent any insurance proceeds are received by the Seller in respect of such claims, then the Seller shall (but conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing), promptly after the Seller’s receipt thereof, remit to the Buyer the amount of such proceeds (net of any deductibles or expenses), less any amounts thereof actually paid to third parties who perform repairs or other similar work in connection with restoring the applicable Transferred Asset to its prior condition. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Seller pays any insurance proceeds to the Buyer or uses such insurance proceeds for repair or restoration of any Transferred Asset that suffers a casualty loss, the Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any other rights or remedies with respect to such matter, including any rights to indemnification or the ability to assert the failure of a closing condition in respect thereof.

Section 5.15 Further Assurances; Wrong Pockets.

(a) The Seller and the Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as may be reasonably necessary to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the sale and transfer to the Buyer of the Transferred Assets, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 7.4 Procedures.

(a) In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement as a result of a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the

facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known). In connection with the delivery of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Indemnifying Party such other necessary information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any Third Party Claim (i) that is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a material supplier or material customer of the Indemnified Party or (ii) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party will consult with the Indemnifying Party regarding any such defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim at its own expense and the Indemnified Party will consult with the Indemnifying Party regarding any such defense.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to such Indemnified Party in connection with such defense. The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of this Section 7.4) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, or make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in respect of, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 7.4(d). If a firm offer is made to settle, or make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in respect of, a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party gives written notice to the Indemnifying

Party within 10 days after its receipt of such notice that it does not consent to such settlement, admission, agreement or compromise, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim at its own expense, and in such event the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim and any related claims that such proposed settlement, admission, agreement or compromise would settle or otherwise preclude shall not exceed the amount of such offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to give written notice to the Indemnifying Party that it does not consent to such settlement, admission, agreement or compromise within such 10-day period, the Indemnifying Party may settle, or make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in respect of, the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer in respect of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 7.4, it shall not agree to any settlement, admission, agreement or compromise without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve or result from a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known). In connection with the delivery of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Indemnifying Party such other necessary information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond in writing within 30 days of receipt of such notice. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim may be asserted against any party for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, unless written notice of such claim is received by such party, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim (to the extent known) on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty or covenant on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 7.1, in which case such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a), or from the Buyer by the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.3(a), shall be $185,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided that the Cap shall not be applicable in respect of any breach of a Fundamental Representation; provided, further, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) in respect of any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.14(d) and Section 3.15 (together with all other recoveries for breaches of representations and warranties subject to the Cap) shall be $277,500,000;

(ii) the Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a), and the Buyer shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.3(a), for any claim for indemnification (x) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, equals or exceeds $18,500,000 (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, shall be liable only for the Losses in excess of the Basket Amount or (y) in respect of any claim that results in Losses of less than $50,000; provided that the foregoing limitations in clauses (x) and (y) shall not be applicable in respect of any breach of a Fundamental Representation or any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.14(d); and provided, further, that in no event shall there be duplication of payments with respect to items considered as part of any Inventory adjustment under Section 2.3 and amounts paid with respect to indemnification claims under this Article VII;

(iii) no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special or indirect damages, including business interruption, diminution of value, loss of future revenue, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement (except (i) to the extent actually awarded to a Governmental Authority or other third party or (ii) with respect to breaches of (x) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 (related to intellectual property) or (y) any covenant or agreement contained in the Intellectual Property License, with respect to which consequential damages that are reasonably foreseeable shall be available to a party in seeking a remedy hereunder); and

(iv) in no event shall the Seller be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2 or otherwise for any claim for indemnification for or other Liability in respect of Taxes attributable to the operation or conduct of the Business or the Transferred Assets for any Post-Closing Tax Period.

(c) The amount of any and all Losses under this Article VII shall be determined net of (i) any Tax benefit actually realized by the applicable Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses, and (ii) any insurance proceeds payable recoveries to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (less any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks). Each party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses. For this purpose, (i) the applicable Indemnified Party

or its Affiliate shall be deemed to recognize all other items of loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any deduction or loss arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VII, and (ii) the applicable Indemnified Party or its Affiliate shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax benefit if (A) realized in the year of the indemnified Loss, and (B) to the extent that, with respect to any taxable period of such Indemnified Party or such Affiliate ending on or before two years from the Closing Date, the amount of Taxes payable by such Indemnified Party or such Affiliate is reduced below the amount of Taxes that such Indemnified Party or such Affiliate would have been required to pay but for the incurrence or payment of such Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VII.

(d) The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim, liability or Loss for which indemnification may be required hereunder. The Buyer and the Seller shall cause the applicable Indemnified Party to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

Section 7.6 No Right of Set-Off. Each of the Buyer and the Seller, for itself and for its Affiliates, successors and assigns hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment, or similar rights that the Buyer or the Seller (or any of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns) has or may have with respect to the payments under the Ancillary Agreements, any other payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or otherwise.

Section 7.7 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable by a final non-appealable order, subject to the terms of this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its payment obligations under this Article VII within 10 Business Days after such agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 7.8 Materiality. For purposes of determining the amount of Losses in respect of indemnification under this Article VII, but not for purposes of determining whether a breach of the terms of this Agreement has occurred, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications other than with respect to the last sentence of Section 3.6, pursuant to which such qualifications shall be included for all purposes hereunder.

Section 7.9 Exclusivity and Nature of Payment. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, effective as of the Closing, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties, and the Seller, on behalf of the other Seller Indemnified Parties, waive any rights and claims any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, may have against the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, regardless of the Law or legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether at law, in equity, contract, tort or otherwise, relating to the Transferred Assets, the Business and/or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. After the Closing, other than any claims arising from fraud in this Agreement or

criminal activity on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, this Article VII will provide the exclusive remedy against the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby. Any indemnity or other payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

ARTICLE VIII
