(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders Representative (i) a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth the Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Closing

- 14 -

Working Capital”), (ii) the Real Estate Adjustment and (iii) a statement (the “Closing Cash Statement”) setting forth the aggregate amount of any and all Company Cash as of the close of business on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Adjustment Statements”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Closing Working Capital shall not include any amount included in the determination of Certified Indebtedness, the Certified Company Cash Amount or Certified Selling Expenses. The Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as used in the preparation of the Sample Working Capital Statement, as modified by the Agreed Principles and in a format substantially similar to, and using accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies consistent with those used in the preparation of, the Sample Working Capital Statement, except that Buyer is permitted to conduct a physical inventory on or near the Closing Date, at Buyer’s cost and expense, for purposes of preparing the Statement. The parties acknowledge and agree that if the Closing Date had been May 31, 2012, the Closing Working Capital would have been as set forth on the Sample Working Capital Statement, and that the preparation of the Statement and the determination of the actual Closing Working Capital pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies from those used to determine Working Capital as set forth on the Sample Working Capital Statement. Within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Shareholders Representative of the Adjustment Statements, the Shareholders Representative shall deliver written notice to Buyer of any dispute the Shareholders have that any Adjustment Statement has not been prepared on a basis consistent with the requirements of this Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.7, as applicable (such written notice shall set forth a detailed description of any such dispute); provided, however, that the Shareholders Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) may not dispute the accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies used in preparing the Statement to the extent they are consistent with GAAP as used in the preparation of the Sample Working Capital Statement, as modified by the Agreed Principles. If the Shareholders Representative does not so notify Buyer of a dispute with respect to the Adjustment Statements within such thirty (30)—day period, such Adjustment Statements will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. In the event of such notification of a dispute, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and the Shareholders Representative, notwithstanding such good faith efforts, fail to resolve all or any portion of such dispute within thirty (30) days after the Shareholders Representative advises Buyer of the dispute, then Buyer and the Shareholders Representative jointly shall engage the firm of McGladrey LLP (or if McGladrey LLP cannot or is unwilling to serve in such capacity, a nationally recognized, independent public accounting firm selected by mutual agreement of the Shareholders Representative and Buyer, or if they cannot agree, selected by mutual agreement of the independent public accounting firms regularly used by the Company (prior to the Closing Date) and by Buyer in the conduct of their respective businesses) (the “Accounting Firm”), acting as experts and not as arbitrators, to resolve the dispute, or any remaining portion thereof, on a basis consistent with the requirements of this Section 2.3 and Section 2.7, as applicable. The parties agree that they will request that the Accounting Firm render its reasoned written decision within thirty (30) days after referral of the dispute to the Accounting Firm for decision pursuant

- 15 -

hereto. In resolving the dispute, the Accounting Firm shall limit its review to the disputed items identified by the Shareholders Representative in the written notification (which decision, in the case of each disputed item, shall be within the range of the respective amounts asserted by the Shareholders Representative and Buyer to be the correct amount of such disputed item). All determinations so made by the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, absent manifest error. Judgment may be entered to enforce such determination in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Shareholders and Buyer shall bear their respective expenses and fees and expenses of their representatives and experts in connection with the preparation, review, dispute (if any) and final determination of the Adjustment Statements and Closing Working Capital; provided, however, that the Shareholders, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall share the fees and other expenses of the Accounting Firm equally.

(b) For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.3, each party shall cooperate with and make available to the other party and their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers, and shall permit access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.

(c) Upon the final determination pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Closing Working Capital (the “Actual Closing Working Capital”), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted, subject to Section 2.3(f), as follows:

(i) If the Actual Closing Working Capital is equal to the Target Working Capital, then there shall be no further adjustment to the Purchase Price based on the Closing Working Capital.

(ii) If the Actual Closing Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such excess to the Shareholders Representative (for the benefit of and on behalf of all Shareholders); provided, however, that the maximum amount payable by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be $2,000,000. In no event will Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates have any responsibility or liability for the allocation of any such payment among the Shareholders by the Shareholders Representative or the distribution of any such payment by the Shareholders Representative to the Shareholders.

(iii) If the Actual Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, then such shortfall amount shall be paid to Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Account.

(d) Upon the final determination pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the aggregate amount of any and all Company Cash as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Actual Company Cash Amount”), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

- 16 -

(i) If the Actual Company Cash Amount is equal to the Certified Company Cash Amount, then there shall be no further adjustment to the Purchase Price based on Company Cash.

(ii) If the Actual Company Cash Amount is greater than the Certified Company Cash Amount, then Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such excess to the Shareholders Representative (for the benefit of and on behalf of all Shareholders). In no event will Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates have any responsibility or liability for the allocation of any such payment among the Shareholders by the Shareholders Representative or the distribution of any such payment by the Shareholders Representative to the Shareholders.

(iii) If the Actual Company Cash Amount is less than the Certified Company Cash Amount, then such shortfall amount shall be paid to Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Account.

(e) Upon the final determination pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Real Estate Adjustment, the Building #1 Purchase Price and Building #2 Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) If the Real Estate Adjustment as so determined shows a net amount being owed to Building #1 Owner and/or Building #2 Owner, then Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such amount to the Shareholders Representative (for the benefit of Building #1 Owner and/or Building #2 Owner, as applicable).

(ii) If the Real Estate Adjustment as so determined shows a net amount being owed to Buyer, then such amount shall be paid to Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Account.

(f) Upon final determination of all amounts owed pursuant to Sections 2.3(c), (d) and (e)), the aggregate amounts owed to the Shareholders Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders, Building #1 Owner and/or Building #2 Owner) shall be netted against the aggregate amounts owed to Buyer. If such aggregate net amount is positive in favor of the Shareholders Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders, Building #1 Owner and/or Building #2 Owner), then Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid such aggregate net amount in cash to the Shareholders Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders, Building #1 Owner and/or Building #2 Owner) by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Shareholders Representative to Buyer. Any such payment is to be made prior to the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days following the date on which all such amounts are finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and (B) December 31, 2012. In no event will Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates have any responsibility or liability for the allocation of any such payment among the Shareholders, Building #1 Owner or Building #2 Owner by the Shareholders Representative or the distribution of any such payment by the Shareholders Representative to the Shareholders, Building #1 Owner or Building #2 Owner. If such aggregate net amount is positive in favor of Buyer,

- 17 -

then the Shareholders Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders, Building #1 Owner and/or Building #2 Owner) and Buyer shall deliver a joint written authorization to the Escrow Agent, within two (2) Business Days from the date on which all such amounts are finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(a), authorizing the Escrow Agent to release such net amount to Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Account. In the event that such aggregate net amount is positive in favor of Buyer and exceeds the Working Capital Escrow Amount, Buyer shall be entitled at its sole discretion (i) to be paid an amount equal to such excess amount from the General Escrow Account, or (ii) to be paid an amount, in cash, equal to such excess amount from the Shareholders.

2.4 Clawback Payment. If during the two-year period beginning as of the Closing Date (a) a Sale Event occurs or (b) Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) enters into a binding agreement to effect a Sale Event, then Buyer shall pay to the Shareholders Representative (on behalf of all the Shareholders), as additional Purchase Price, an amount equal to 50% of the excess, if any, of the amount of the Sale Proceeds of such Sale Event over the sum of $270,000,000, the Building #1 Purchase Price, the Building #2 Purchase Price and the Building #4 Purchase Price (the “Clawback Payment”). The Clawback Payment shall be payable upon the consummation of the Sale Event; provided, however, that if any portion of the Clawback Payment is attributable to consideration payable after the closing of the Sale Event then that portion of the Clawback Payment shall be payable when such consideration is paid to Buyer or its Affiliate, as applicable. As used in this Section 2.4 and the definitions of Sale Event and Sale Proceeds, “Company” shall be deemed to include any Affiliate of Buyer that is the successor to the Company pursuant one or more inter-company transactions, including mergers, conversions, consolidations and sales or transfers of capital stock or assets.

2.5 Refunds and Remittances. If, after the Closing Date, any party to this Agreement receives any payment relating to any property of any other party, the receiving party will immediately forward such payment to the appropriate party.

2.6 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to withhold, or cause to be withheld, any and all amounts from the Purchase Price equal to any withholding Tax owed to, or asserted by, any Taxing Authority as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent required under applicable Law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the Shareholders. Buyer shall provide the Shareholders Representative with copies of all relevant Tax withholding certificates, correspondence or other filings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the delivery by the Shareholders of the items referred to in Section 3.2, Buyer is not aware of any withholding obligations with respect to the payment of the Purchase Price to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iv) .

2.7 Real Estate Adjustment. Buyer and Building #1 Owner (with respect to Building #1 Property), and Buyer and Building #2 Owner (with respect to Building #2 Property) agree that any real property taxes and assessments, utilities, insurance costs or other real property operating expenses attributable to Building #1 Property and Building #2 Property that were not accrued or accounted for on the finally determined Statement or the subject of a dispute submitted to, and resolved by, the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or resolved by the parties pursuant to Section 2.3(a) (collectively, “Unaccrued Real

- 18 -

Property Expenses”) will be prorated as of the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders shall not be obligated (i) to provide, or cause to be provided, any information, documents or access to any Person unless Buyer is responsible, pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, for the use and disclosure of any information obtained by such Person, or such Person enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Shareholders Representative on terms that are substantially the same as those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement or (ii) to provide any information, documents or access that would (A) violate the provisions of any applicable Law (including those relating to security clearance or export controls) or any agreement to which the Company is a party or (B) cause the loss of the attorney-client privilege with respect thereto. Prior to the Closing, Buyer and its representatives shall not contact or communicate with the employees, suppliers or vendors of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this

- 47 -

Agreement, except with the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and its representatives shall not have any access at any time prior to the Closing to any information regarding pending or proposed bids for new contracts or subcontracts or any related information where Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer also has submitted or intends to submit a bid for such contract or subcontract.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2, the Company shall have no obligation to permit access to the Real Property for purposes of, and Buyer shall have no right to conduct any invasive environmental testing or sampling at the Real Property, including “Phase II” testing or sampling without Shareholders Representative’s prior written consent.

(d) For a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, Buyer will permit the Shareholders Representative to have access upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries (or copies or extracts thereof) with respect to periods or portions of periods ending on or before the Closing Date, as the Shareholders Representative may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable Tax Laws and to fulfill the Shareholders’ obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, provided, however, that any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the businesses of Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates. The Shareholders shall promptly reimburse Buyer for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees but excluding reimbursement for general overhead, salaries and employee benefits) incurred by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any of their respective representatives in connection with the foregoing.

6.3 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Shareholders and Buyer agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements and to obtain satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to such transactions, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions and Consents from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings as promptly as practicable and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain a Consent from, or to avoid an Action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary Consents from third parties (all at the Shareholders’ expense), (iii) the defending of any Actions challenging this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions

- 48 -

contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if required, each party shall make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in any event not later than ten (10) days after the date hereof, and thereafter make any other required submissions with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under the HSR Act and take all other appropriate actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. The parties shall each request early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

(c) To the extent not prohibited by Law, the Shareholders and Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall give the other party reasonable prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or any such transaction. No party shall independently participate in any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Buyer’s undertaking pursuant to this Section 6.3, Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts and to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted by any Governmental Authority in court in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the consummation of the Closing.

6.4 Further Assurances. Following the Closing Date, the Shareholders and Buyer shall, from time to time, execute and deliver such additional instruments, documents, conveyances or assurances and take such other actions as shall be necessary, or otherwise reasonably be requested by Buyer or the Shareholders, to confirm and assure the rights and

- 49 -

obligations provided for in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and render effective the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing and to facilitate smooth product launches, subsequent to execution of this Agreement and prior to Closing, the Company will, to the extent legally permissible, share information and coordinate actions with Buyer with respect to such product development matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including the taking of such actions, if any, as may be listed on Schedule 6.4, prior to Closing.

6.5 No Solicitation. The Shareholders shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any officer, director, manager or employee of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Shareholder, or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by the Shareholders, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage any “other bid,” (ii) consider, accept or enter into any agreement with respect to any other bid or (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any other bid. The Shareholders Representative shall promptly advise Buyer orally and in writing of any other bid or any inquiry with respect to or which could lead to any other bid and the identity of the Person making any such other bid or inquiry and the material terms thereof. As used in this Section 6.5, “other bid” shall mean any proposal relating to the acquisition of any or all of the equity interests of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or for a merger, sale of securities, sale, lease or license of substantial assets or similar transaction involving the Company or its Subsidiaries, other than (A) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (B) the sale of Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business.

6.6 Agreement Not to Compete.

(a) During the Term, the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, (i) engage, directly or indirectly (whether as equityholder, partner, joint venturer, financing source or consultant in any capacity whatsoever), anywhere in the world, in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing or selling diagnostic, therapeutic or support devices, equipment, accessories, consumables or services with gastrointestinal, laparoscopy or urology uses (the “Business”), (ii) have any direct or indirect financial or other interest in any corporation, firm, business or entity engaged in the Business or (iii) solicit, directly or indirectly, any customer of the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to or on behalf of any business or entity engaged in the Business provided, however, this Section 6.6 shall not prohibit any Shareholder or Beneficiary from owning a passive interest of less than five percent (5%) of a publicly traded company that competes with the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(b) If any Shareholder, any Beneficiary or any of their respective Affiliates breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.6 (the “Non-Compete Covenants”), Buyer shall have the right and remedy to have the Non-Compete Covenants specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened

- 50 -

breach will cause irreparable injury to Buyer and its Affiliates and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer and its Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall be construed to limit the right of Buyer to collect money damages in the event of a breach o f the Non-Compete Covenants. In addition to the remedies Buyer may seek and obtain pursuant to this Section 6.6, the Term shall be extended by and all periods during which any Shareholder, any Beneficiary or any of their respective Affiliates shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of any of the Non-Compete Covenants.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6(b), the term of this Section 6.6 (the “Term”) shall commence on the Closing Date and end on the five (5)—year anniversary of the Closing Date, unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall find that such period is not permissible with respect to a jurisdiction, in which case, this Section 6.6 shall terminate, with respect to such jurisdiction only, at the end of the maximum period of time permissible under applicable Law.

(d) If any Governmental Authority determines that any of the Non-Compete Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Non-Compete Covenants shall, to the extent enforceable under applicable Law, not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the portions which have been declared invalid or unenforceable.

(e) If any Governmental Authority determines that any of the Non-Compete Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, it is the intention of the parties that such Governmental Authority shall have the power to modify any such provision, to the extent necessary to render the provision enforceable, and such provision as so modified shall be enforced.

6.7 Nonsolicitation. For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, no Shareholder, Beneficiary or any of their respective Affiliates, or the employees, directors, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, shall on its or their own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any employee employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) without the prior written consent of Buyer.

6.8 Confidentiality.

(a) All information supplied to Buyer by the Company or its representatives in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be held by Buyer in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, Buyer’s obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information provided by the Company or its representatives shall expire as of the Closing, but not upon any earlier termination of this Agreement (and nothing shall prevent Buyer from using such information in connection with its operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing).

- 51 -

(b) From and after the Closing, no Shareholder or Beneficiary shall disclose to any Person or use, and the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries shall use their best efforts to prevent their respective employees and representatives from disclosing to any Person or using, any Business Confidential Information. “Business Confidential Information” means any proprietary, non-public information that has commercial value or other utility and is related to the Company or its Subsidiaries or the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to the value of the Company or its Subsidiaries subject to the following exceptions: (i) information generally available to the public prior to the Closing; (ii) information that is or becomes generally available to the public through no action by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any Shareholder, any Beneficiary, or any of their respective employees or representatives; or (iii) information that is later lawfully acquired by any Shareholder, any Beneficiary or any of their respective representatives from sources other than those related to their prior ownership of the Company (provided that such source is not under an obligation to keep such information confidential); provided, however, that the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries may disclose Business Confidential Information to their respective representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements so long as such representatives are informed by the Shareholders or the Beneficiaries of the nature of the Business Confidential Information and are directed by the Shareholders or the Beneficiaries to hold the Business Confidential Information in confidence, and the Shareholders or Beneficiaries, as applicable, shall be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 6.8(b) by such representatives; provided further, however, that nothing herein will prevent the Company, the Shareholders, the Beneficiaries or any of their respective representatives from using Business Confidential Information in any manner otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. If, after the Closing, any Shareholder or any Beneficiary or any of their respective representatives is legally required to disclose any Business Confidential Information, such Shareholder or Beneficiary, as applicable, shall (A) promptly notify Buyer to permit Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to seek a protective order or take other appropriate action and (B) cooperate as reasonably requested by Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Business Confidential Information, but only at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. If, after the Closing, and in the absence of a protective order, any Shareholder or Beneficiary or any of such Shareholder’s or Beneficiary’s representatives is compelled as a matter of Law to disclose Business Confidential Information to a third party, such Shareholder or Beneficiary may disclose (and such Shareholder or Beneficiary shall cause any such representative(s) to disclose) to the third party compelling disclosure only the part of such Business Confidential Information as is required by Law to be disclosed; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, any such Shareholder or Beneficiary will, and will cause any such representative(s) to, as applicable, use good faith efforts to advise and consult with Buyer and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure.

6.9 Taxes.

- 52 -

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of Tax with respect to the income, property or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is attributable to any Straddle Period will be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the period of the Straddle Period that extends from the day after the Closing Date to the end of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) in accordance with this Section 6.9(a). The portion of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date. The portion of Tax attributable to a Post-Closing Straddle Period shall be calculated in a corresponding manner. To the extent that any Tax for a Straddle Period is based on the greater of a Tax on net income, on the one hand, and a Tax measured by net worth or some other basis not otherwise measured by income, on the other hand, the portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the Post-Closing Straddle Period will be determined based on the foregoing and based on the manner in which the actual Tax liability for the entire Straddle Period is determined. In the case of a Tax that is (x) paid for the privilege of doing business during a period (a “Privilege Period”) and (y) computed based on business activity occurring during an accounting period ending prior to the privilege period, any reference to a “Tax period,” a “tax period” or a “taxable period” shall mean such accounting period and not the privilege period. Proration of property taxes will be made on the basis of the most recent officially certified tax valuation and tax assessment rate for the corresponding assets. If the valuation or rate pertain to a tax period other than that in which the Closing occurs, such proration will be recalculated at such time as actual tax bills for such period are available, and the parties will cooperate with each other in all respects in connection with such recalculation and pay any sums due in consequence thereof to the party entitled to recover the same within sixty (60) days after notice of the issuance of such actual tax bills.

(b) Buyer will timely prepare and file (or cause to be timely prepared and filed) with the appropriate Taxing Authorities all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period (other than any Tax Returns for which the Shareholders have filing responsibility under Section 6.9(c)) (the “Buyer Returns”). Buyer will make available to the Shareholders Representative any Buyer Tax Returns with respect to any Straddle Period for review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the respective due dates of such Buyer Returns, and the Shareholders Representative will provide Buyer with the Shareholders’ comments no later than ten (10) days before the respective due dates of such Buyer Returns; provided, however, that in the event such Buyer Returns are due within thirty (30) days of the Closing

- 53 -

Date, Buyer will provide such Buyer Returns to the Shareholders Representative at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due date, and the Shareholders Representative will provide Buyer with the Shareholders’ comments no later than seven (7) days before the respective due date of such Buyer Returns. Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the actual date of filing of any Buyer Return that is required to be filed with respect to a Straddle Period, the Shareholders will pay (or cause to be paid) to Buyer cash in an amount equal to the Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period (as determined pursuant to Section 6.9(a)) shown on such Buyer Return.

(c) The Shareholders will timely prepare and file (or cause to be timely prepared and filed) with the appropriate Taxing Authorities all Tax Returns with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (the “Seller Returns”), and will pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes with respect to the Seller Returns (whether imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries or the (direct or indirect) equityholders of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates). The Shareholders Representative will make available to Buyer any Seller Returns to be filed after the Closing Date for review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the respective due dates of such Seller Returns, and Buyer will provide the Shareholders Representative with Buyer’s comments no later than ten (10) days before the respective due dates of such Seller Returns.

(d) Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 6.9(d), all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) imposed on Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne and paid by Buyer when due, and Buyer, at its own expense, will cause to be filed all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. Each party shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any available exemptions from such Transfer Taxes and to cooperate with the other party in providing any information or documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions. Building #1 Owner and Building #2 Owner shall be responsible for all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of Building #1 Property and Building #2 Property to the Company.

(e) Except to the extent attributable to the carryback of any attribute generated after the Closing Date, any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any amounts credited against Tax that Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries utilizes that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Shareholders, and Buyer shall pay over to the Shareholders Representative any such refund or the amount of any such credit (net of any Taxes of Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to such refund or credit and net of any costs of Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to obtaining such refund or credit) within 15 days after receipt or utilization thereof.

(f) Except as required by applicable Law, Buyer shall not, and shall cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) amend any Tax Returns filed

- 54 -

with respect to any tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such year or to any Straddle Period, in each such case without the prior written consent of the Shareholders Representative (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g) In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on the Company and its Subsidiaries, Buyer and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including, without limitation, the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes.

(h) This Section 6.9(h) and not Section 9.2 shall control any inquiry, assessment, proceeding or other similar event relating to Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Shareholders Representative shall have the right to represent the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries before the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to any inquiry, assessment, proceeding or other similar event with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries (a “Tax Matter”) relating solely to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, preparing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter; provided, however, (i) Buyer has the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Shareholders, and (ii) the Shareholders Representative shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Buyer shall have the right to represent the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries before the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to any Tax Matter that does not relate solely to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and has the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter; provided, however, (i) the Shareholders Representative shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter that affects the liability of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 9.1 without the prior written consent of the Shareholders Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

- 55 -

(i) The Shareholders shall join with Buyer in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”). In furtherance of the preceding sentence, the Shareholders shall execute and deliver to Buyer such documents or forms as Buyer shall reasonably request or as are required by applicable Law to effect the Section 338(h)(10) Elections. The Shareholders shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Elections on their Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable Law, and shall take no position inconsistent with treating the purchase by Buyer of the Shares as a transaction to which Section 338(h)(10) applies. The consideration paid for the Shares hereunder and the liabilities (to the extent included in amount realized for federal income Tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in accordance with their fair market values determined using the methodology set forth on Schedule 6.9(i) (the “Allocation Schedule”) and Section 338 of the Code. Buyer, the Shareholders and each of their Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such Allocation Schedule, and none of the parties will voluntarily take any position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule in any inquiry, assessment, audit, action, proceeding or other similar event relating to Taxes.

(j) All Tax sharing or allocation agreements, arrangements or similar Contracts with respect to or involving the Company and its Subsidiaries will be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

6.10 Release by the Shareholders.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, each of the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates, beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Related Persons”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges, fully, finally and forever, the Company, its Subsidiaries, Buyer and each of their respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, directors and officers and employees (together, the “Company Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, rights, causes of action, proceedings, orders, remedies, obligations, damages and liabilities of whatsoever kind or character arising as a result of any event or condition, or action or inaction of the Company Released Parties, from the beginning of time until the Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, both at Law and in equity, which such Seller Related Person ever had, now has, or ever may have, against any Company Released Party, including in any Seller Related Person’s capacity as a direct or indirect equityholder of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and pursuant to any Contract between any Seller Related Person and a Company Released Party (as to each Seller Related Person, such Seller Related Person’s “Seller Related Person Claims”); provided, however, that Seller Related Person Claims shall not include (i) any claims pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (ii) any claims pursuant to any Employee Plan disclosed on Disclosure Schedule 4.22(a)

- 56 -

that cannot be waived pursuant to applicable Law, or (iii) any claims resulting from a Company Released Party’s fraud or criminal act.

(b) No Shareholder or Beneficiary has filed, and no Shareholder or Beneficiary will file, any Action against any Company Released Party with any Governmental Authority or otherwise, based on events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date in relation to any matter released or purported to be released hereunder. No Shareholder or Beneficiary has assigned, and no Shareholder or Beneficiary will assign, any Seller Related Person Claim and has not authorized, and will not authorize, any other Person to assert any Seller Related Person Claim on its or their behalf.

(c) Each of the Shareholders and Beneficiaries expressly acknowledges that the release provided under this Section 6.10 is intended to include in its effect all claims within the scope of this release that the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this release contemplates the extinguishment of any such claim or claims.

Each of the Shareholders and Beneficiaries, for itself and the other Seller Related Persons, hereby expressly waives, surrenders and agrees to forego any and all protections, rights or benefits to which the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries otherwise would be entitled by virtue of the existence of any such statute or the common law of any state, province or jurisdiction with the same or similar effect. Further, it is understood and agreed that the facts in respect of which the release provided under this Section 6.10 is given may turn out to be other than or different from the facts in that respect now known or believed by the Shareholders or the Beneficiaries to be true; and with such understanding and agreement, each of the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries expressly accepts and assumes the risk of facts being other than or different from the assumptions and perceptions as of any date prior to and including the Closing Date, and agrees that this release shall be in all respects effective and shall not be subject to termination or rescission by reason of any such difference in facts.

(e) The release provided under this Section 6.10 shall extend to and be binding upon each of the Shareholders and the Beneficiaries, and each such Person’s legal successors and assigns, and all other Seller Related Persons, and shall inure to the benefit of all of the Company Released Parties.

- 57 -

the individuals who were officers, directors and similar functionaries of the Company and its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing Date on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as the policy or policies presently maintained by the Company and the Subsidiaries for the benefit of such individuals for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to Closing, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 9.5, from and after the Closing, Buyer and the Company and its Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each person who is a current or former director or officer of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company against all Covered Losses arising out of or pertaining to acts or omissions (or alleged acts or omissions) by them in their capacities as such, which acts or omissions occurred at or prior to the Closing. The indemnification and related rights hereunder shall be provided in accordance with the Company’s Organizational Documents, and Buyer or the Company or a Subsidiary shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification pursuant to such Organizational Documents.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.11 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by (as express third party beneficiaries), each current and former officer, director or similar functionary of the Company and its Subsidiaries and his or her representatives, heirs, successors and assigns and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights of indemnification or contribution that any such person may have had by contract or otherwise.

(d) Buyer shall not take, cause or permit to be taken by any Person any action to alter or impair any exculpatory or indemnification provisions, now existing in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any its Subsidiaries, for the benefit of any individual who served as a director or officer of the Company or a Subsidiary at any time prior to the Closing, except for any changes that may be required to comply with Law and any changes that do not affect the application of such provisions to acts or omissions of such individuals prior to the Closing.

6.12 Updated Disclosure Schedule. The Shareholders shall have the right to update the Disclosure Schedules only with respect to any matter arising after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing that would result in the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) not being satisfied, provided that the Shareholders Representative acknowledges concurrently with the delivery of such schedules that the matter would result in such condition not being satisfied (the “Updated Disclosure Schedules”). If Buyer receives Updated Disclosure Schedules from the Shareholders Representative, Buyer shall have the right to (a) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f) or (b) proceed with the Closing, provided that upon the Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all claims, including all indemnity claims pursuant to ARTICLE IX, for all matters set forth in the Updated Disclosure Schedules. For all other purposes under this Agreement, the Updated Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to supersede and amend the original Disclosure Schedules dated as of the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Updated

Disclosure Schedule shall contain any matter that existed as of the date of this Agreement, whether or not known to the Shareholders or the Company.

6.13 Certain Other Post-Closing Covenants. The Shareholders shall promptly forward to Buyer any mail (including electronic mail) that such Person receives after the Closing Date that relates to the Company or its Subsidiaries or is otherwise intended for the owner of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

From and after the Closing, in the event and for so long as any party actively is contesting or defending against any third party action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand in connection with (a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, each of the other parties shall reasonably cooperate with such party and its counsel and representatives in the defense or contest all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending party (unless the contesting or defending party is entitled to indemnification therefor under ARTICLE IX).

6.15 Company 401(k) Plan. The board of directors of the Company (i) shall take all actions necessary to effect the termination of the United States Endoscopy Group, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan Trust (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) with such action and termination to be effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing and (ii) may take any actions necessary to amend the Company 401(k) Plan prior to Closing to permit discretionary nonelective Company contributions for the 2012 plan year to be allocated to the account of each employee of the Company who was an active participant in the Company 401(k) Plan at any time during the period beginning on January 1, 2012 through the termination date of the Company 401(k) Plan based upon eligible compensation under the Company 401(k) Plan for such time period and effect any such contribution prior to the Closing Date.

ARTICLE VIII EMPLOYEE MATTERS

8.1 Benefits and Compensation. For the period beginning at the Closing and ending on December 31, 2012, Buyer shall or shall cause the Company to provide each employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries who remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary following the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) a base salary or base wage rate that is at least equal to the base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, provided to the Continuing Employee by the Company immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) welfare benefits (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) and pension benefits (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) that, in each case, are reasonably comparable in the aggregate to the welfare benefits and pension benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing; provided that, if the employment of a Continuing Employee is terminated following the Closing and on or prior to December 31, 2012 in a manner that would entitle the Continuing Employee to receive severance payments or benefits pursuant to Buyer’s current employee severance guidelines set forth on Schedule 8.1 (the “Severance Guidelines”), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, provide severance payments and/or benefits to such terminated Continuing Employee in accordance with the Severance Guidelines, after giving credit for all time served and positions held with the Company or its Subsidiaries by the Continuing Employee prior to Closing.

8.2 Credit for Service; 2012 Incentive Compensation. To the extent not otherwise required by or resulting from the operation of Law, Buyer shall cause any applicable employee benefit plan of Buyer or its Affiliates in which any Continuing Employee participates on and after the Closing and which is a Welfare Benefit Plan (each, a “Buyer Plan”) to (i) recognize the service of each Continuing Employee as of the Closing with either the Company or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as service with Buyer or its Affiliates for purposes of eligibility to participate, other than (A) with respect to any Buyer Plan that is frozen or grandfathered or (B) to the extent such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits; (ii) cause the waiver of any pre-existing conditions, waiting period

- 61 -

limitations, or eligibility waiting periods with respect to such Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents, in each case to the extent waived under the corresponding Employee Plan (for a comparable level of coverage) in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing; and (iii) with respect to any Buyer Plan that is a medical, vision, and/or dental plan, provide credit for deductibles, co-payments and eligible out of pocket expenses incurred during the portion of the calendar year preceding the termination date (or transfer date) in a comparable Buyer Plan for the corresponding calendar year of the Buyer Plan. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, honor all of the Company’s performance bonus and incentive plans set forth on Schedule 8.2 (“Bonus Plans”) in effect for calendar year 2012 in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Schedule 8.2 also contains a person-by-person list of the amounts accrued with respect to the Bonus Plans as of the date hereof, provided that the Company will provide an updated Schedule 8.2 immediately prior to the Closing Date to reflect all such accruals as of the Closing Date. If Buyer or the Company terminates any Company Employee without cause (as determined by Buyer or the Company in its sole discretion) on or after the Closing Date and on or prior to December 31, 2012, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay to such terminated Company Employee the amounts accrued as of the Closing Date under such Bonus Plans with respect to such employee as set forth on the updated Schedule 8.2, payable at the time Bonus Plan payments are made to employees generally.

8.3 Access to Data. Upon request of Buyer, prior to the Closing, the Shareholders shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide Buyer reasonable access to and copies of data regarding ages, dates of hire, compensation, job description and, subject to applicable Law, such other personnel and employee benefits records as Buyer may reasonably request in respect of any employee of, or other service provider to, the Company.

8.4 No Employment Rights or Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this ARTICLE VIII shall (a) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (b) constitute or create an employment agreement, (c) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates or (d) limit the ability of Buyer or any of the Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee following the Closing.

ARTICLE IX INDEMNIFICATION AND SURVIVAL

9.1 General Indemnification Obligation. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing:

(a) The Shareholders (solely through the General Escrow Account, as provided in Section 9.1(j)) will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, advisers and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnitee”) from and against, and pay and

- 62 -

reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, any Covered Losses resulting from, arising out or otherwise in respect of: (i) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Shareholders herein or under any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) any failure by any Shareholder to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement or fulfill any other obligation in respect hereof or thereof; and (iii) any Selling Expenses and Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries not paid on or prior to the Closing.

(b) Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders, their respective Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, advisers and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnitee”) from and against, and pay and reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any Covered Losses resulting from, arising out or otherwise in respect of (i) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Buyer herein or under any Ancillary Agreement and (ii) any failure by Buyer to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement or fulfill any other obligation in respect hereof or thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 9.1(a) to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) with respect to Covered Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder unless the aggregate amount of all such Covered Losses of all Buyer Indemnitees exceeds $1,500,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Covered Losses in excess of the Basket. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification for Covered Losses in connection with an inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation shall not be subject to or applied to the Basket; provided, however, that no Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) with respect to Covered Losses for an inaccuracy in the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.12 (Taxes) regarding Taxes other than Income Taxes unless the aggregate amount of all such Covered Losses of all Buyer Indemnitees exceeds $750,000 (the “Non-Income Taxes Basket”), in which case the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Covered Losses in excess of the Non-Income Taxes Basket.

(d) For purposes of this ARTICLE IX, all Covered Losses shall be computed net of (i) any insurance coverage with respect thereto (which coverage shall be net of any self-insurance retention or other self-insurance set asides that may otherwise be available), in each case that reduce such Covered Losses that would otherwise be sustained; (ii) any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party from any Person (other than the Indemnifying Party or another Indemnified Party) with respect to such Covered Losses (whether under any agreement for indemnification, contribution or otherwise) and (iii) the amount of any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate thereof) that is attributable to the Covered Losses to which such claim relates in the taxable year in which the claim occurs. For purposes of this Section 9.1(d), the Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate thereof) shall be determined by comparing the

- 63 -

Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party without taking into account any Tax attribute resulting from the Covered Loss with the Taxes paid by the Indemnified Party, treating any such Tax attribute as the last such tax attribute on any Tax Return.

(e) The Buyer Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all insurance claims, other third party payments to which it or they may be entitled in connection with any Covered Losses incurred (with all of the costs and expenses of exercising such commercially reasonable efforts being deemed Covered Losses). If any Buyer Indemnitee (or any Affiliate) receives any insurance or other third party payment in connection with any claim for Covered Losses for which it has already received an indemnity payment from the General Escrow Account, it shall pay into the General Escrow Account within thirty (30) days after such insurance or other payment is received, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount previously received with respect to such claim plus the amount of such insurance or other third party payment, over (y) the amount of Covered Losses to which the Buyer Indemnitees have become entitled under this Agreement in connection with such claim.

(f) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any claim or Liability that an Indemnified Party asserts under this ARTICLE IX.

(g) For purposes of this ARTICLE IX, Covered Losses shall not include any punitive, exemplary damages or consequential damages (unless, and only to the extent, that any of the foregoing is awarded to a third party in a Third-Party Claim, in which case such damages shall not be excluded from Covered Losses). For purposes of this Agreement, “consequential damages” shall mean damages that arise solely from the special circumstances of the Indemnified Party that had not been communicated to the Indemnifying Party.

(h) In no event shall any Buyer Indemnitee be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX with respect to any liability (including any liability for Taxes) that is accrued (and then only to the extent thereof) on the finally determined Statement or any amount that was the subject of a dispute submitted to, and resolved by, the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or that was resolved by the parties pursuant to Section 2.3(a).

(i) No Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnity pursuant Section 9.1(a) to the extent the Covered Losses are a result of Buyer’s or any Affiliate of Buyer’s voluntary (i) remedial actions or (ii) subsurface sampling of soil or groundwater, except to the extent any of the foregoing is (A) required by a Governmental Authority, Environmental Laws or any Permit, (B) performed in connection with the defense or resolution of any third-party Environmental Claim, (C) performed in connection with any maintenance, repair or construction projects conducted in the ordinary course of business, or (D) performed in connection with any Environmental Condition otherwise known to Buyer or any of its Affiliates that could reasonably be expected to result in a substantial threat to human health or the Environment. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall voluntarily solicit or

- 64 -

request any Governmental Authority or other Person to make a claim with the purpose of triggering the indemnity provisions of this Agreement.

(j) The sole source of indemnification for the Buyer Indemnitees from the Shareholders under Section 9.1(a) shall be a claim against the General Escrow Account to the extent it has not otherwise been distributed or otherwise depleted. Neither the Shareholders nor any of their respective successors or assigns shall have any Liability personally under this ARTICLE IX. In addition, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off or recoup any amounts that are finally determined to be due to Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.1(a) against any payment owed by Buyer under the Royalty Agreement. For purposes of this Section 9.1(j), “finally determined” means a final, non-appealable resolution of the Liability Claim, whether by consent, order, judgment, decree, settlement, arbitration award or otherwise. If any Buyer Indemnitee has given a Claims Notice and the Liability Claim has not been finally determined prior to the time scheduled for any such payment under the Royalty Agreement, Buyer shall have the right, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to withhold from the amount otherwise due with respect to such payment the amount or estimated amount of such Liability Claim as set forth in the Claims Notice. Once such Liability Claim is finally determined, Buyer shall (a) retain all or a portion of the amount so withheld, to the extent the final determination of such claim is in favor of the Buyer Indemnitees, and/or (b) distribute the remainder of the amount withheld, if any, pursuant to the Royalty Agreement. In the event that Buyer must distribute any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 9.1(j), Buyer shall pay such amount plus interest accrued thereon from the date such amount was otherwise due to the date it is paid at an interest rate equal to the rate applicable to borrowings under Buyer’s revolving credit facility, as may be in effect from time to time, during that same period, or, if no such credit facility exists, at an annual rate equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal as of the original due date of such payment.

9.2 Notice and Opportunity to Defend.

(a) As soon as is reasonably practicable after any Seller Indemnitee, on the one hand, or Buyer Indemnitee, on the other hand, becomes aware of any claim that it has under Section 9.1 that may result in a Covered Loss (a “Liability Claim”), such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”) to Buyer or the Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders), as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice shall describe the Liability Claim in such reasonable detail as is available, and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Covered Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.2(a) shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

- 65 -

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claims Notice from the Indemnified Party regarding a claim by a third party (including any Governmental Authority) for which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third-Party Claim”), to assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; and (ii) the Third-Party Claim seeks (and continues to solely seek) monetary damages and, if applicable, immaterial equitable claims that are ancillary to a claim for monetary damages (the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.2(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have a forty-five (45)—day period (the “Discovery Period”) following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Claims Notice during which the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to reasonable discovery with respect to the indemnifiable nature of the claims. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonable cooperate with each other with respect to such discovery. If the Indemnifying Party does not provide written notice to the Indemnified Party by the end of the Discovery Period that it no longer continues to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the claims made in that Third-Party Claim will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement as within the scope of and subject to indemnification hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.2(b), the Indemnified Party may continue to defend the Third-Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Third-Party Claim is indemnifiable hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.2(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (A) any of the Litigation Conditions cease to be met or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable, to the extent the Third-Party Claim is indemnifiable hereunder, for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim which (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a complete release from all Liability and Covered Losses in respect of such Third-Party Claim, or (y) grants any injunctive or equitable relief. The Indemnified Party shall not have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim without

- 66 -

the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.3 Survival; Limitations. All of the representations and warranties of the Shareholders and Buyer contained in ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE V, respectively, will survive the Closing hereunder and continue in full force and effect for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, except that the Fundamental Representations will not expire until the applicable statute of limitations with respect thereto. Any Claims Notice with respect to any claim for indemnification based on the representations and warranties in this Agreement must identify the particular representation and warranty that is claimed to have been breached, together with the underlying facts and Covered Losses relating thereto, in each case, to the extent known, and must be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation and warranty as set forth in the preceding sentence. Any such Claims Notice given prior to such date may continue to be asserted and shall continue to be indemnified against thereafter. Any claim for indemnification hereunder that is not properly asserted as provided herein may not be pursued and is hereby irrevocably waived upon and after the expiration of the applicable period of survival. Indemnification obligations hereunder that are not in respect of representations and warranties shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The representations and warranties of the parties shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any other party or its representatives or by reason of the fact that such other party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate or incorrect in any respect. For all purposes of (i) determining whether there has been any misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.6(c), 4.7 (first sentence), 4.8(p) and 4.19(a)) and (ii) calculating Covered Losses hereunder, any “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded.

9.4 Adjustments to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 9.1 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

9.5 Contribution and Waiver. From and after the Closing, no Shareholder shall seek indemnification or contribution from the Company or its Subsidiaries (including by reason of the fact that he or it was a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another entity) for any breaches of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or in respect of any other payments required to be made by any Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

9.6 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided in this ARTICLE IX, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto following the Closing for any Liabilities (including any Covered Losses) arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether based in contract or tort,

- 67 -

except for any claim based upon fraud. In furtherance of the foregoing, following the Closing each of the parties hereto hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the other parties hereto arising under or based upon any Law (including any right or remedy under CERCLA), at common law, tort or pursuant to any other theory or liability, other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this ARTICLE IX; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 9.6 shall not prevent or limit a cause of action under Section 11.12 to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and conditions hereof.

ARTICLE X TERMINATION

10.1 Termination of Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2, this Agreement may be terminated:

(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and the Shareholders Representative at any time prior to the Closing;

(b) by Buyer or the Shareholders Representative, if the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is 90 days after the date hereof (the “Termination Date”), unless the failure of such consummation shall be due to the failure of the party wishing to terminate (which, in the case of a proposed termination by the Shareholders Representative, shall mean the Shareholders) to comply in all material respects with the agreements and covenants contained herein;

(c) by the Shareholders Representative if there shall have been a misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer contained in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied, and which shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days following notice of such misrepresentation or breach, (ii) in the case of a breach of the obligation to close within two (2) Business Days after the date contemplated in Section 3.1, the date that is two (2) Business Days after such contemplated date, and (iii) the Termination Date;

(d) by Buyer if there shall have been a misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Shareholders contained in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied, and which shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days following notice of such misrepresentation or breach, (ii) in the case of a breach of the obligation to close within two (2) Business Days after the date contemplated in Section 3.1, the date that is two (2) Business Days after such contemplated date, and (iii) the Termination Date;

(e) by either the Shareholders Representative or Buyer, by written notice to the other, in the event that any Governmental Authority will have issued a final, non-appealable Order, or adopted any applicable Law, in each case, permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; or

- 68 -

(f) by Buyer, by giving written notice to the Shareholders Representative at any time prior to the Closing in the event the Shareholders Representative has, within the previous ten (10) Business Days, delivered Updated Disclosure Schedules to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.12.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ARTICLE X shall give written notice of such termination to the other party.

10.2 Effect of Termination. If any party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate and none of the parties will have any Liability to the other parties hereto other than under the Confidentiality Agreement (and any amendments thereto) and under this Section 10.2 and ARTICLE XI, which provisions will survive termination and remain in full force and effect without any limitation whatsoever; provided, however, that if such termination shall have been caused by, or shall have resulted from, (a) any willful and material breach by a party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or (b) Buyer’s failure to pay any portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing, then any such termination shall not relieve any such breaching or failing party for Covered Losses actually incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of any such breach or failure, and/or from equitable relief.

ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Waivers and Amendments. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit), and no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Neither the waiver by any party hereto of a breach or of a default under any provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any party on one or more occasions to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

11.2 Shareholders Representative. Each Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints the Shareholders Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for each such Shareholder, for and on behalf of each such Shareholder, with full power and authority to represent each Shareholder and such Shareholder’s successors and assigns with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and all actions taken by the Shareholders Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement will be binding upon each such Shareholder and such Shareholder’s successors and assigns as if expressly ratified and confirmed in writing by each of them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholders Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Shareholder and such Shareholder’s successors and assigns, to interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to dispute or fail to dispute any Liability Claim under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, to negotiate and compromise any dispute that may arise under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and to sign any releases or other

- 69 -

documents with respect to such dispute. A Shareholder will be deemed a party or a signatory to any agreement, document, instrument or certificate for which the Shareholders Representative signs on behalf of such Shareholder. All decisions, actions and instructions by the Shareholders Representative, including the defense or settlement of any claims for which the Shareholders may be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to ARTICLE IX, will be conclusive and binding on each Shareholder and no Shareholder has the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Shareholders jointly and severally agree to pay, and to hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against, any Liabilities or losses that the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer or sustain as the result of any claim by any Person that an action taken by the Shareholders Representative on behalf of the Shareholders is not binding on, or enforceable against, the Shareholders. Buyer has the right to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Shareholders Representative as to the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Buyer pursuant to ARTICLE IX, or any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholders Representative hereunder, and no party hereto will have any cause of action against Buyer for any action taken by Buyer in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Shareholders Representative. The appointment of the Shareholders Representative is an agency coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and any action taken by the Shareholders Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 11.2 is binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successors of each Shareholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Shareholder or the Shareholders means and includes the successors to the Shareholders’ rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

11.3 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, sent by recognized overnight delivery service, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile, as follows:

11.4 Attorney-Client Privilege and Conflict Waiver. Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP and XxXxxxxx, Xxxxx, Crystal & Xxxxxxx Co., L.P.A. have each represented the Company, its

- 71 -

Subsidiaries, the Shareholders and the Shareholders Representative in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. All of the parties recognize the commonality of interest that exists and will continue to exist until Closing, and the parties agree that such commonality of interest should continue to be recognized after Closing. Specifically, the parties agree that Buyer shall not, and shall not cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, seek to have either Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP or XxXxxxxx, Xxxxx, Crystal & Xxxxxxx Co., L.P.A. disqualified from representing the Shareholders Representative, any Seller Indemnitee or their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) in connection with any dispute that may arise between the Shareholders Representative, any Seller Indemnitee or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Purchaser or the Company, on the other hand. In connection with any such dispute and any Third-Party Claim for which the Shareholders have assumed the defense under Section 9.2(b) (other than any Third-Party Claim that is an Action by or on behalf of a Governmental Authority), the Shareholders Representative will have the right to decide, in its sole discretion, whether or not to waive or assert any attorney client privilege that may apply to communications between any of the Shareholders, and either Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP or XxXxxxxx, Xxxxx, Crystal & Xxxxxxx Co., L.P.A. that occurred before the Closing, in each case, only to the extent such communications relate to the negotiation and consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.5 Fees and Expenses. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, each party will bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’, consultants’, and advisors’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of its rights, interests or obligations may be assigned by any party hereto, including by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Buyer may assign all or any part of its rights, obligations and duties under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates, provided that no such assignment shall in any way release Buyer from any of its Liabilities under this Agreement.

11.7 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be construed, to give any Person other than Buyer and the Shareholders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any interest or rights (including third party beneficiary rights) with respect to or in connection with any agreement or provision herein or any matter contemplated hereby.

11.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the local, state or federal courts of the State of Ohio located in Lake County, or the courts of the United States located in the Northern District of Ohio and sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, any defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, that they are not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts or that their property is exempt or immune from execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the suit, action or

- 72 -

proceeding is improper. Service of process with respect thereto may be made upon a party by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 11.3 hereof.

11.9 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

11.10 Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 11.10.

11.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability (i) of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction or (ii) of any other term or provision of this Agreement.

11.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the covenants or agreements of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy that they are entitled to pursue under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the parties will be entitled to seek injunctions to prevent any breach of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and to seek specific enforcement at law or in equity of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

11.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules, other Schedules and Exhibits hereto), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior understandings, agreements, statements, representations, documents, instruments, communications and correspondence, whether

- 73 -

written or oral, express or implied, by or among the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates, representatives and agents with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

11.14 Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

11.15 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits, Disclosure Schedules and other Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. There may be included in the Disclosure Schedules and elsewhere in this Agreement items and information that are not “material,” and such inclusion shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or agreement that any such item or information (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) is “material,” or to affect the interpretation of such term for purposes of this Agreement. Disclosures included in any section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be considered to be made for purposes of all other sections of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent that the relevance of any such disclosure to any other section of the Disclosure Schedules is reasonably apparent. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to a possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that such breach or violation exists or has occurred. Any capitalized term used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to such term in this Agreement. Any headings set forth in the Disclosure Schedules or other Schedules are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the disclosures set forth in such schedules.

11.16 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience only, and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. The electronic transmission of any signed original counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the delivery of an original counterpart of this Agreement.

11.18 Announcements. No party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior approval of the other parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless and only to the extent that such disclosure is required to be made in order to satisfy such party’s obligations under applicable securities Laws of the United States of America.
