Section 2.3 Consent to Certain Assignments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (i) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign, directly or indirectly, any Contract, asset, claim or right or any benefit arising under or resulting from such asset, claim or right if an attempted direct or indirect transfer or assignment thereof, without the consent of a third Person, would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such third Person, would be ineffective with respect to any Person party to any agreement concerning such asset, claim or right, or would violate any Law, and (ii) if any such direct or indirect transfer or assignment of any such Contract, asset, claim or right requires the consent of a third Person, then, subject to Section 5.3(e) and Section 5.28, the

Parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent as promptly as practicable following the date hereof and such transfer or assignment shall be made subject to such consent first being obtained. The Buyer agrees that neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to the Buyer as a result of the failure, in and of itself, to obtain any such consent.

(b) If any such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing (each such asset or Contract a “Non-Transferred Asset”) for any reason, the Closing shall (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII) nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein and, thereafter until such consent is obtained, (i) the Seller and the Buyer shall, subject to Section 5.3(e) and Section 5.28, use, and shall cause of their respective Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent for such Non-Transferred Asset as promptly as practicable following the Closing and (ii) the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in any lawful and reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by the Seller or the Buyer under which (A) the Buyer shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third Person or violating any Law) the economic claims, rights and benefits under such Non-Transferred Asset with respect to which such consent has not been obtained and (B) the Buyer shall assume any related economic burden with respect to such Non-Transferred Asset (including the amount of any Liabilities for Taxes imposed on the Seller and its Affiliates with respect thereto).

If any such consent or waiver is not obtained prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the Buyer shall be prevented by such third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to such assets of the Business intended to be transferred hereunder, or if any attempted assignment would adversely affect the rights of the Seller thereunder so that the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights or the Seller would forfeit or otherwise lose the benefit of rights that Seller is entitled to retain, the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement, as the Seller and the Buyer shall agree, under which the Buyer would, to the extent practicable, obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Buyer; provided, that all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such cooperation and related actions shall be split equally between the Buyer and the Seller; provided, that each of the Buyer and the Seller shall bear its own advisors fees (including attorneys fees) and its own internally allocated costs (e.g., overhead, salary, etc.).

(a) With respect to the portion of the Business conducted in France (collectively, the “French Assets” of the “French Asset Holder”), the signing of a binding agreement in relation to, or completion of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement may require, under French applicable Laws, the prior consultation of the works council of the French Asset Holder and/or any other relevant employee representative body (as the case may be) (the “French Works Council”), and consequently, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent required under French Law, the French Assets shall not be included in the scope of the Agreement unless and until the completion of the French Put Option Exercise. This Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement on Buyer (or its nominee) to acquire the French Assets subject to the completion of the French Put Option Exercise, if applicable.

(b) If applicable, as soon as reasonably possible after the date of the Agreement, Seller shall cause the French Asset Holder to endeavor to complete the information and consultation process of the French Works Council in connection with the transfer of the French Assets to Buyer or Buyer’s nominee (the “French Consultation Process”). Buyer shall in good faith and in a timely manner provide Seller and the French Asset Holder with such assistance, information and documentation (including attending any meeting with the French Works Council) as Seller may reasonably request in connection with the French Consultation Process, it being specified that (y) neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide confidential or commercially sensitive information unrelated to the transfer of the French Assets to Buyer or Buyer’s nominee, and (z) any information provided by or on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliates shall be kept confidential. The French Consultation Process shall be deemed to have been completed on the earlier of: (i) the date on which the French Works Council issues an opinion with respect to the proposed transfer of the French Assets, as contemplated in this Agreement; or (ii) if the French Works Council has not issued an opinion with respect to the proposed transfer of the French Assets, as contemplated in this Agreement, the date on which the maximum timeline provided by applicable Law (under articles L. 2312-15, L.2312-16 and R.2312-6 of the French Labor Code) for such French Works Council to issue its opinion expires (such earlier date, the “French Consultation Completion Date”).

(c) Buyer hereby irrevocably offers to acquire directly, or through its nominee, and grants to Seller an irrevocable option to require Buyer to so acquire, the French Assets from the relevant Affiliate of the Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, subject to the occurrence of the French Consultation Completion Date (the “French Put Option”). After the French Consultation Completion Date, Seller may provide notice to Buyer in its sole discretion of its exercise of the French Put Option (the “French Put Option Exercise”). If the French Put Option Exercise has been completed prior to the Closing Date, the French Assets shall be automatically deemed by the Parties as included in the scope of this Agreement (immediately upon receipt by the Buyer of Seller’s notice of the French Put Option Exercise) and as a result, to the fullest extent permitted under the Laws of France, the French Assets shall transfer from the relevant Affiliate of the Seller to Buyer or its nominee at Closing. If the French Put Option Exercise has not been completed prior to the Closing Date, then (x) the Closing shall nonetheless take place on

the terms set forth herein without any reduction in the Purchase Price, (y) the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall continue to apply in respect of the French Assets, and (z) upon exercise of the French Put Option after Closing, the French Assets shall transfer to Buyer (or its nominee) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as promptly as practicable after the French Put Option Exercise.

Section 2.9 Tax Withholding. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any portion of any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold from such payment(s) under any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law; provided that, except with respect to compensatory payments to any current or former employees or with respect to Seller’s failure to satisfy Section 2.2(c)(i)(D), prior to making any such deduction or withholding, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller at least ten (10) Business Days’ advance notice of the relevant withholding requirement and shall fully cooperate with Seller to eliminate, reduce or mitigate such deduction or withholding. In the event any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, the amount deducted or withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such amounts would otherwise have been paid for purposes of this Agreement.

Except for the Financing Letters (including the Fee Letter, subject to the Permitted Fee Letter Redactions), as of the date hereof, there are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Financing that limit or impair the availability, conditionality, enforceability or amount of the Financing.

No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to (a) constitute a default or breach on the part of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or, to the knowledge of the Buyer, any other Person, in each case under any Commitment Letter, (b) constitute a failure to satisfy a condition on the part of the Buyer or any other party thereto under any Financing Letter or (c) result in any portion of the amounts to be provided, funded or invested in accordance with any Financing Letter being unavailable on the Closing Date.

Promptly after the date hereof, the Parties shall seek early termination of any applicable waiting periods. None of the Parties shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period, or enter into a timing agreement, including any agreement to delay the consummation or not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, with any Governmental Entity without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided Buyer may cause any filing under the HSR Act be withdrawn and refiled pursuant to 16 C.F.R. Section 803.12(c) once, but only once, without the Seller’s consent. Without limiting the generality of this paragraph (a), the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take any and all steps necessary to (x) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity or any other Person or (y) avoid the entry of, effect the dissolution of, and have vacated, modified, suspended, eliminated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any decree, decision, determination, order or judgment entered or issued, or that becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, that would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent, restrain, enjoin, prohibit, or make unlawful the consummation of the contemplated transactions, so as to enable the Parties to expeditiously close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and, in any event, no later than the Outside Date), including by proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise (i) the sale, lease, divesture, disposition, or license (or holding separate pending such disposition) of any assets, operations, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of the Buyer, or of the Business or the Transferred Subsidiaries or their controlled Affiliates and Subsidiaries or any interest therein, (ii) the termination, relinquishment, waiver or other modification of existing

relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of it, or of the Business or the Transferred Subsidiaries or their respective controlled Affiliates and Subsidiaries or any interest therein, (iii) taking or committing or agreeing to restrictions or actions that after the Closing would limit the Buyer’s or limit the Business’s or the Transferred Subsidiaries’ or their controlled Affiliates’ and Subsidiaries’ or any interest therein, freedom of action or operations with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, any assets, operations, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of the Buyer, or of the Business, the Transferred Subsidiaries or their controlled Affiliates and Subsidiaries or any interest or interests therein, including any restructuring, reorganizing, relocating, reconfiguring of any assets, operations, properties or businesses, and (iv) restricting, limiting, or eliminating any governance rights (including voting power, consent rights, board of directors nominations or designation rights, board observer rights, and ownership or equity interests) with respect to the Buyer and its Subsidiaries or the Business or the Transferred Subsidiaries (such sale, lease, license, divestiture, disposal and holding separate or other action described or contemplated above in this Section 5.3(a), a “Regulatory Remedy”). In addition, the Parties shall use their best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted by any Governmental Entity that would prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by the Outside Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer, upon reasonable consultation with Seller, shall (x) control the strategy and timing for, and make all decisions (and shall take the lead in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Entity) for obtaining any authorizations from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (y) control the overall development of the positions to be taken and any regulatory actions to be requested in any filing or submission with a Governmental Entity in connection with obtaining any authorizations with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry or proceeding by or before, or any negotiations with, a Governmental Entity relating to the foregoing, subject to Section 5.3(b) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing this Section 5.3(a) shall require the Seller or the Buyer to (or to cause their respective Affiliates to), and neither Seller nor Buyer may (or may cause their respective Affiliates to), effectuate or agree to effectuate any Regulatory Remedy unless such Regulatory Remedy is conditioned upon the Closing and only effective upon the Closing.

(b) Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the other Party of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and permit the other Party to review in advance (and shall consider in good faith the views of the other Party with respect to) any proposed communication by such Party to any Governmental Entity. Each of the Buyer on the one hand and, where applicable, the Seller on the other hand shall furnish to the other Party such necessary information, documents and reasonable assistance as the other Party may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission which is necessary or advisable under the HSR Act or with respect to any other Laws relating to antitrust, merger control or foreign investment, and shall consult with the other prior to any substantive meetings or material discussions, by telephone or in person, with the staff of the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Entity, have the right to have a representative present at any such meeting. No Party shall participate in any meeting with any such Governmental Entity unless it consults

with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. The Buyer shall (i) cooperate with the Seller in connection with the Buyer allocating the purchase price among the assets of the Business for antitrust purposes and (ii) shall not file any such allocation (or any document or other filing directly or indirectly based upon, incorporating or premised upon any such allocation) with any Governmental Entity without the prior written consent of the Seller. Subject to each Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any materials disclosed pursuant to this Section may be redacted (1) to remove references concerning valuation, (2) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (3) as necessary to comply with applicable law, and (4) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided further, that a Party may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to another Party under this Section as “Outside Counsel Only.”

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire any assets (including any equity interest in any Person), unless such acquisition or agreement would not reasonably be expected to (i) increase the risk of not obtaining any consent, approval, authorization, expiration of waiting period, qualification or order necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, or (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering, or increase the risk of not being able to have removed, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by the Outside Date.

(d) Without limiting the Buyer’s obligations pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Parties shall, to the extent practicable and without waiver of the attorney client privilege, permit each other to jointly participate in the defense and settlement of any Action relating to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and no Party shall settle or compromise any such Action without the other’s prior written consent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be required in connection with obtaining the consent under any Contract of any third Person that is not a Governmental Entity to agree to the payment of any consideration (monetary or otherwise) to, or the concession or provision of any right to, or the amendment or modification in any manner adverse to the Seller or the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates of such Contract with, any such third Person.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and subject to the Transition Services Agreement and Ancillary Agreements, (i) the Seller shall be responsible for preparing and submitting all filings, applications, certifications, facility registrations, notices and other materials (“Permit Materials”) required to maintain all Permits, and those ISO Certifications as specified in Section 5.30 of the Disclosure Schedules, that are required for the Transferred Subsidiaries to own and operate the Business at the Closing, including any such

material Permits required to be transferred or reissued to the Transferred Subsidiaries or Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as listed or otherwise described on Section 5.3(f) of the Disclosure Schedules (such Permits, whether or not listed on Section 5.3(f) of the Disclosure Schedules, the “Business Permits”) to a Transferred Subsidiary, to the extent such Permit Materials are required to be submitted prior to or at the Closing and (ii) the Buyer shall (x) prepare and submit all Permit Materials required to transfer or reissue all Business Permits to a Transferred Subsidiary, and update ISO Certifications, to the extent such Permit Materials are required to be submitted after the Closing, as described in Section 5.30. Each of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party with respect to all such Permit Material preparations and submissions. Following the Closing until the transfer or reissuance of the Business Permits to a Transferred Subsidiary, subject to the terms of any applicable Ancillary Agreement, the TFX Entities shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of such Business Permits, (A) to maintain such Business Permits consistent in all material respects with past practice and (B) at the Buyer’s request, to cooperate in any arrangement (including, to the extent applicable, ongoing auditing and reporting obligations) that is reasonably and lawfully designed to provide the applicable Transferred Subsidiary with the benefits arising under such Business Permits; provided, however, that (v) the TFX Entities shall not be required to make any payment, commence, defend or participate in any litigation, assume any liability or grant any other accommodation (financial or otherwise) with respect to any such Business Permits, (w) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the TFX Entities after the Closing at the Buyer’s request with respect to such Business Permits will be borne solely by the Buyer, (x) unless the Parties specify in writing otherwise, after the Closing, the Buyer shall be responsible for complying with and discharging all of the TFX Entities’ obligations (to the extent applicable and legally permissible) with respect to such Business Permits that will be transferred or reissued to the Transferred Subsidiaries and are for the benefit of the Business, including cooperating with Governmental Entities in any audits and conducting all reporting required under or to support maintenance of such Business Permits, (y) to the extent submitted in accordance with Section 5.3(f)(i), any Permit Materials submitted by the Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing shall be revocable and conditioned on the Closing occurring and (z) the Buyer shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against, any and all Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnitees arising out of or relating to any such Business Permits held by the TFX Entities following the Closing for the benefit of the Buyer.

Section 5.4 Employee Matters.

(a) Subject to Section 5.4(b), (i) prior to the Closing, to the extent practicable and subject to applicable Law, Seller shall or shall cause its Affiliate to, transfer the employment of all Business Employees to a Transferred Subsidiary, and (ii) effective as of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates (including any Transferred Subsidiary) (or a professional employer organization or employer of record engaged by the Buyer or one of its Affiliates (an “EOR”)) to, (x) cause each Transferred Subsidiary to continue to employ each Business Employee who remains so employed immediately following Closing (all such employees, the “Transferred Subsidiary Employees”), (y) make a timely offer of employment to the Business Employees identified by the Seller within thirty (30) Business Days prior to Closing and not employed by a Transferred Subsidiary (all such employees, the “Offer Employees”), and (z) employ each employee of the Business whose employment is transferred by operation of Law

For purposes of applying the provisions of this Section 5.4, with respect to each Delayed Transfer Employee, all references to “Closing” or the “Closing Date” in this Section 5.4 shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Delayed Transfer Employee’s date of commencement of employment with the Buyer or one of the Transferred Subsidiaries pursuant to a Qualifying Offer, or for any Automatic Transfer Employee, by operation of Law (as applicable, the “Delayed Transfer Date”). Prior to the Delayed Transfer Date, the Seller shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to) terminate the employment of all Delayed Transfer Employees effective upon the Delayed Transfer Date. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to each Business Employee in the United States who as of the Closing, and to the extent applicable, the end date of benefits coverage under the Transition Services Agreement, is or will be on a disability leave and whose claim is covered by a Retained Employee Plan (each, an “Inactive Employee”), the Inactive Employee will be treated as a Delayed Transfer Employee and the Buyer shall or shall cause a Transferred Subsidiary to offer employment to each Inactive Employee to the extent such employee returns to active employment within a six (6) month period following the Closing Date.

Further, in no event shall Buyer or its Affiliates change the terms and conditions of a Continuing Business Employee’s employment in any manner that could be considered a “Measure” under the Business Transfer Regulations.

(d) With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained, sponsored or contributed to by the Buyer or any Transferred Subsidiary following the Closing and in which any of the Continuing Business Employees participate, other than any Excluded Benefit (except severance benefits, which shall not be an Excluded Benefit for purposes of this Section 5.4(d)) (the “Buyer Plans”), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting or level of benefits (other than for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan) or measured entitlements under applicable Law, service with the Seller (or any of its Affiliates or predecessor employers to the same extent and for the same purpose recognized by the Seller) shall be treated as service with the Buyer, except, in any of the foregoing cases, (x) to the extent such service credit would result in any duplication of benefits or compensation or (y) in connection with any Excluded Benefits. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) for the plan year that contains the Closing Date, under each Buyer Plan that is a group health plan in the U.S., waive, unless prohibited by Law, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements and pre-existing condition limitations for Continuing Business Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent waived or satisfied under the corresponding Employee Plan; and (ii) unless prohibited by Law, in the plan year that contains the Closing Date, the Continuing Business Employees shall be given credit under the Buyer Plans that are group health plans in the U.S. for amounts paid during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs under the corresponding Employee Plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out of pocket maximums, as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Buyer Plan.

(e) As of the Closing Date, the Buyer will cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) to recognize the certified collective bargaining representative of each Continuing Business Employee, if any. and will assume or honor any Collective Bargaining Agreement or works’ council obligations with respect to any Continuing Business Employees and, to the extent required by applicable local Law, will consult or negotiate with the union or works’ council a transition into the Buyer’s benefits to the extent required by any Contract.

From after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for any Business Employee Liabilities that are paid by a TFX Entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the employer portion of any payroll or other employment Taxes with respect to such Business Employee Liabilities), promptly upon the Seller notifying the Buyer of the reimbursement amount. Prior to the Closing Date, except as necessary to provide the services set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, the Seller or its Affiliates (other than any Transferred Subsidiary) shall take all actions necessary to: (1) assume or retain (as applicable) the sponsorship of and all liabilities and obligations at any time relating to or arising under or in connection with any Retained Employee Plan; (2) ensure the TFX Entities have been removed from the Transferred Employee Plans as participating, covered, or adopting employers (as applicable); and (3) ensure active participation in the Transferred Employee Plans by any Person who is not a Continuing Business Employee (or eligible spouse, dependent or beneficiary thereof) (as applicable) has ceased.

(g) As of the Closing Date and for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each other with such information regarding each employee who has suffered or will suffer an Employment Loss (as defined below) at any site of employment where a Business Employee is located, in each case, as is reasonably necessary to comply with their respective obligations under the WARN Act. As used herein, “Employment Loss” means an “employment loss” within the meaning of the WARN Act that occurs either within the ninety (90) days immediately preceding and including the Closing Date or during the ninety (90) days immediately following the Closing Date.

(h) The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the terms of any non-competition, non-solicit, nondisclosure or other restrictive covenant including in any Employee Plan (including Transferred Employee Plans) and applicable to a Business Employee (the “RCAs”), such Business Employee shall (i) be permitted to provide services to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates following the Closing and (ii) if permitted by Section 5.18, be permitted to provide services to the Seller or any of its Affiliates following the Closing, and, in each case, the applicable Party shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates to not, seek to enforce the terms of any such RCA following the Closing against the other Party.

Effective as of the Closing Date, but without limiting the provisions of this Section 5.4, the Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates (including any Transferred Subsidiary) (or an EOR) to, assume or retain, as the case may be, all obligations of the TFX Entities and the Transferred Subsidiaries for the accrued, unused vacation time of the Continuing Business Employees.

(ii) Severance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or as otherwise required by Law, the Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates (including any Transferred Subsidiary) (or an EOR) to, provide severance pay and benefits to each Continuing Business Employee who is involuntarily terminated by the Buyer (or its applicable Affiliate) without “cause” during the 12-month period after the Closing Date (or such longer period required by applicable Law) that are no less than the severance pay and benefits, if any (including continued health coverage, if any), that such Continuing Business Employee would have been eligible to receive pursuant to the Employee Plan applicable to such Continuing Business Employee and set forth on Schedule 5.4(i)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules.

(iii) Defined Contribution Retirement Plans. As of the Closing Date, the Continuing Business Employees shall cease to actively participate under the Teleflex 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”). Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall take all necessary action, if any, to (a) effect such cessation of participation, (b) fully vest the unvested account balances of the Continuing Business Employees under the Seller 401(k) Plan.

Following the Closing and for the remainder of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, the Buyer shall withhold amounts consistent with the Continuing Business Employees’ deferral elections under the DC Plan (if any), as provided by the Seller, and shall timely (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of each applicable payroll period) remit any such contributions to the Seller. In addition, the Seller, shall remain responsible and shall fund the full amount of any employer contributions to the DC Plan made after the Closing Date with respect to Continuing Business Employees in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DC Plan.

Reg. 54.4980B-9, the Parties agree that for purposes of providing welfare benefit continuation coverage pursuant to the provisions of Section 601 et. seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), the TFX Entities, or the welfare benefit plans (as defined under Section 3(1) of ERISA) of the TFX Entities, shall be responsible for any obligations under COBRA with respect to any “qualifying event” that occurs before the Closing Date with respect to Continuing Business Employees and their eligible dependents and to any individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 54.4980B-9). The Buyer and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall be responsible for (i) continuing to provide coverage that satisfies the obligations under COBRA with respect to “qualifying events” that occurred under a Transferred Employee Plan and (ii) providing coverage that satisfies the obligations under COBRA with respect to any “qualifying event” that occurs on or after the Closing Date with respect to Continuing Business Employees and their eligible dependents.

(vi) Replacement U.S. Health Plans. The Seller will make commercially reasonable best efforts to establish group health and welfare benefit plans sponsored by a Transferred Subsidiary (the “OEM Health Plans”), which shall provide benefits to Continuing Business Employees in the United States (and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries) effective as of the Closing Date (the “OEM Health Plan Standup”). The OEM Health Plan Standup shall be at the Seller’s sole cost and expense up to $300,000, and any cost in excess of $300,000 shall be at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense. The OEM Health Plans will be designed in consultation with and at the direction of the Buyer, including with respect to plan design and specification of whether the plan will be fully insured or self-insured subject to stop-loss coverage. Such direction will be provided by ▇▇▇▇▇ within thirty (30) days following the date on which ▇▇▇▇▇ has been provided with proposed plan designs, including expected costs provided by the vendors and supporting data, as well as the historical claims information and participant data (to the extent such historical claims information and participant data can be provided in accordance with applicable Law) reasonably necessary to evaluate such plan design options.

In the event that prior the Closing or during the three (3) year period following the Closing, the Parties identify any Wrong Pocket Contract, at the request of the Buyer (in the case of a Wrong Pocket Contract that primarily relates to the Business) or the Seller (in the case of a Wrong Pocket Contract that primarily relates to the Retained Business or the TFX Entities), the Parties will, as soon as reasonably practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) ensure the assignment of such Wrong Pocket Contract to the other Party or one of its Affiliates (with any necessary prior consent), (b) pending such assignment, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and by the terms of such Wrong Pocket Contract, enter into arrangements with the other Party to provide such Party (or such Party’s Affiliate) with the full benefit of the rights applicable to the Business, on the one hand, or the Retained Business or TFX Entities, on the other hand, under such Wrong Pocket Contract (whether by entering into a separate agreement with the other Party with respect to such Wrong Pocket Contract or by including such arrangements as an additional service under the Transition Services Agreement) and (c) cooperate with each other to assist the non-requesting Party (i.e. the Party that is transferring away the applicable Wrong Pocket Contract) to either (1) assist the non-requesting Party to establish replacement Contracts, contract rights, bids, purchase orders or other agreements or (2) transfer or assign the rights and obligations under such Wrong Pocket Contract to the extent related to the non-requesting Party’s business back to such non-requesting Party, and pending the establishment of any such replacement Contract pursuant to clause (1) or the transfer or assignment of such rights and obligations pursuant to clause (2), establish reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the non-requesting Party with the with the rights and obligations under such Wrong Pocket Contract related to its business.

The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Buyer within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, a true and correct list of each Transferred Contract that is also a Material Contract. If any such Transferred Contract is not transferred to a Transferred Subsidiary in connection with the Restructuring, then such Transferred Contract will be deemed to be a Wrong Pocket Contract in accordance with Section 5.22(b).

Financing Letter indicates in writing that it will not provide, or it refuses to provide, all or any portion of the Financing) of the Financing Letters (other than in accordance with its terms) for any reason by the Buyer or, to the knowledge of the Buyer, any other Person, in each case under any Financing Letter, (iv) if at any time for any reason the Buyer believes in good faith that it will not reasonably be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing in the amount required to satisfy the Financing Uses on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any of the Financing Letters, and (v) of any expiration or termination of any Financing Letter. As soon as reasonably practicable, the Buyer shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Seller relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i) through (v) of the immediately preceding sentence; provided that in no event shall the Buyer be required to share any information with the Seller that is subject to attorney-client or other privilege. The Buyer shall keep the Seller informed with respect to material activity concerning the status of the Debt Financing upon written request by the Seller, and, upon the reasonable request of the Seller, provide the Seller copies of the Financing Letters.

(c) If any portion of the Required Amount of Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (or on such other terms that are acceptable to both the Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources, so long as such other terms would not constitute a Restricted Financing Commitment Amendments), unless the Buyer elects to increase its Equity Financing by a corresponding amount in its sole discretion, the Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative debt financing, including from alternative debt financing sources, on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Buyer (as determined by the Buyer in good faith) than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (unless agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion), in an amount sufficient to pay (together with all other funding sources then available to the Buyer) such portion of the Required Amount (any such alternative financing, “Alternative Debt Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event; provided that, without limitation, the Buyer shall not be required to (i) pay any fees or expenses in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or (ii) obtain Alternative Debt Financing that includes terms and conditions that are less favorable in any material respect to the Buyer (as determined by the Buyer in good faith) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof. The Buyer shall promptly provide a true, correct and complete copy of each executed alternative financing commitment to the Seller (redacted for any Permitted Fee Letter Redactions; provided that none of the redacted terms or amounts impose any additional conditions on the availability of the Debt Financing at Closing or reduce the gross aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing). The Buyer shall not permit, without the prior written consent of the Seller, any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any material waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Financing Letters, including any such amendment, modification or waiver that would constitute a Restricted Financing Commitment Amendment.

managing any obligation, liability or loss in connection with (a) any transactions contemplated under this Agreement or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the Retained Businesses, the Business or the Transferred Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Retained Businesses that was historically part of a Transferred Subsidiaries) Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (and its and their officers and employees, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other Representatives) to, reasonably cooperate with Buyer or Seller, as applicable, and its Affiliates and its and their counsel in such prosecution, contest or defense, including making available its personnel, participating in meetings, providing such testimony and access to their books and records and taking such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Seller hereby agrees to (to the extent applicable) move for substitution or take similar actions under applicable Law for Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in any and all Actions primarily related to the Business for Seller or any of its Affiliates, and for Seller or such Affiliate to be released from any and all such Actions effective as of the Closing and (ii) Buyer hereby agrees to, or to cause its Affiliates to, move for substitution or take similar actions under applicable Law for Seller or one or more of its Affiliates to be substituted in any and all Actions not primarily related to the Business for any Transferred Subsidiaries, and to move for the Transferred Subsidiaries to be released from any and all such Actions.

In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives such correspondence, Seller will, to the extent practicable and requested by ▇▇▇▇▇, consult with ▇▇▇▇▇ and its Representatives and consider in good faith the views of Buyer and its Representatives in connection with responding to, or otherwise acting upon, such correspondence.

Section 5.27 Non-Transferred Assets; Delayed Transferred Assets.

(a) The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that certain assets and Contracts, including Company Intellectual Property, certain Material Contracts and certain Business Permits are not held by a Transferred Subsidiary but are primarily used in the conduct of the Business (such assets and Contracts, the “Restructuring Transferred Assets”) and are contemplated to be assigned or transferred to a Transferred Subsidiary in connection with the Restructuring. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that (i) such assignment or transfer of a Restructuring Transferred Asset requires the consent of any Person (other than the Seller and its Affiliates) pursuant to the terms of such Restructuring Transferred Asset or applicable Law and such consent shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, then such Restructuring Transferred Asset shall be treated as a Non-Transferred Asset in accordance with

Section 2.3(b) or (ii) it is reasonably necessary or appropriate as mutually determined by the Seller and the Buyer in good faith to delay the assignment or transfer of any such Restructuring Transferred Contract until the termination or expiration of the Transition Services Agreement or other relevant Ancillary Agreement to allow the Seller or its applicable Affiliate to perform its obligations under such Transition Services Agreement or other relevant Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise may be reasonably desirable to facilitate the transition of the Business in the applicable jurisdiction (each such asset or Contract, a “Delayed Transferred Asset”), the Parties acknowledge and agree that the transfer or assignment of such Delayed Transferred Asset shall not occur at or prior to Closing and shall occur pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Transition Services Agreement or any other applicable Ancillary Agreements; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a Non-Transferred Asset may also be a Delayed Transferred Asset.

Section 5.31 Long-Term Supply Agreement. Between the date hereof and the Closing, the Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a long-term supply agreement pursuant to the terms set forth in the Term Sheet for Long-Term Supply Agreement attached as Exhibit E hereto.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1 Tax Returns.

(a) The Seller shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared any Seller Combined Tax Return, including any Seller Combined Tax Return that includes the Transferred Subsidiaries for any taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) in its sole discretion. Seller shall be responsible for the timely payment of any taxes due with respect to such Seller Combined Tax Returns. Except for any Seller Combined Tax Return, the Buyer shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed all separate Tax Returns of each Transferred Subsidiary that is or otherwise relating to the Business that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, including any such Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and for any taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (“Straddle Periods”). All Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Period Tax Returns prepared by the Buyer shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice unless required by applicable Law and Section 6.1(b). Such prepared Tax Returns shall be submitted to the Seller no later than 45 days prior to the due date for filing thereof (including applicable extensions) for the Seller’s review and comment, of which such comments thereto shall be considered in good faith by the Buyer. The Buyer and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for the timely payment of any taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the determination of the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two (2) taxable periods, one that ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other that began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain and deduction, loss or credit and state and local apportionment factors of the Business for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two (2) taxable periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books and records of the Business were closed as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (A) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as depreciation, and (B) periodic Taxes, such as property or

similar ad valorem Taxes, shall be apportioned ratably between such periods on the basis of the number of days elapsed in each such period, except that any increase in property Taxes or similar ad valorem Taxes resulting from the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including increased real property Taxes resulting from a reassessment of any real property) shall be allocated solely to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

Section 6.2 Transfer Taxes(a) . The Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for any and all excise, sales, use, stamp, transfer, documentary, filing, recordation, value added Taxes and other similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”), if any, that are incurred as a result of the Restructuring; provided, however, that any Transfer Taxes (net of any out of pocket costs, expenses and Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery) that are recoverable by the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) following the Closing shall be paid over by the Buyer or its applicable Affiliates upon such recovery. The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) any and all Transfer Taxes, if any, that are incurred as a result of the purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests, other than Irish stamp duty incurred on the purchase and sale of any Acquired Interests of an Irish-incorporated Transferred Entity, one hundred percent (100%) of which shall be the responsibility of Buyer. The Person required to do so by applicable Law shall prepare and file all applicable Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes and each other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of such Tax Returns.

Section 6.3 Tax Cooperation. Not more than thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request from the Seller, the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the Seller such Tax information, materials and records, including schedules and work papers, as are requested by Seller to enable Seller to prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by it with respect to the Transferred Subsidiaries and, with respect to Taxes that are related to the Retained Business, with respect to any Seller Combined Tax Return, or otherwise in connection with the Seller’s and its Affiliates’ Tax compliance and preparation of Tax Returns, filings, workpapers, memoranda, opinions or other advice, or other records. The Buyer shall prepare such Tax information, materials and records completely and accurately, in good faith and in a manner consistent with the Seller’s past practice. Each Party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other Party to this Agreement such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund or credit of Taxes, (ii) determining a liability for Taxes or any right to a credit or refund of Taxes, (iii) conducting any Tax audit, examination or other proceeding or (iv) connection with any transfer pricing matters. Such cooperation and information shall include providing necessary powers of attorney, copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant portions of relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property and other information, which any such Party may possess, and the making of such Party’s employees and agents reasonable available, on a mutually convenient basis at its cost, to discuss and explain any documents or information so provided or to otherwise assist with respect to the matters described in this Section 6.3; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to produce, and the Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no right to review or receive information with respect to all or any portion of any Seller Combined Tax Return, nor shall the Buyer and its Affiliates have any right to review any Tax records, filings, workpapers, memoranda, opinions, or other advice or records relating to any Seller Combined Tax Return other than such portion of such materials that relates solely to the Transferred Subsidiaries or the Business.

Section 6.4 Post-Closing Actions.

(a) The Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of the Transferred Subsidiaries to, make, change, revoke amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election, request any ruling from, initiate any voluntary disclosure with, or agree to the waiver of any extension of the statute of limitations with, any Taxing Authority with respect to any Taxes, in each case arising out of, relating to, or otherwise in respect of the Business or the Transferred Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of the Seller.

(b) Other than with respect to the Transferred Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 6.4(b), without the prior written consent of the Seller, the Buyer shall not make, and shall not permit its applicable Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) to make, an election under Section 338 of the Code (or any comparable election under state, local or foreign Law) with respect to the acquisition of any Transferred Subsidiary. In addition the Parties (and their respective Affiliates), to the extent that an election under Section 338 of the Code is not made with respect to a Transferred Subsidiary shall comply with the requirements described in Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i) with respect to any Transferred Subsidiary that is a controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code so that the taxable year of any such Transferred Subsidiary will end for U.S. federal income tax purposes as described in Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i)(A). Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.4(b), the Buyer shall not make, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) not to make, any other election with respect to any Transferred Subsidiary or the Business (including any election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to a Transferred Subsidiary or any election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3), which election would be effective on or prior to the Closing Date. To the extent that the unified loss rules of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1502-36 apply to the sale of the Acquired Interests in the Transferred Holdcos, Seller agrees that the parent of the Seller Combined Tax Return of which Seller is a member will make such elections under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36(d)(6) or any comparable elections under any state or local Tax law that are necessary to prevent any Transferred Subsidiary from suffering any reduction in any Tax attributes or the basis of any assets possessed by the Transferred Subsidiaries immediately prior to the sale of the Acquired Interests.

(c) Buyer and Seller agree that the Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4 and as adjusted for any other items that are treated as consideration for Tax purposes, shall be allocated among the Transferred Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6.4(c) of the Disclosure Schedules. No later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date on which such Purchase Price is finally determined, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the allocation of such Purchase Price (and any other items that are treated as consideration for Tax purposes) among the Transferred Subsidiaries and, with respect to Transferred Subsidiaries for which an election under Section 338(g) of the Code is made pursuant to Section 6.4(b), an allocation of the “aggregate deemed sales price” among the assets thereof, which allocation shall be determined in

a manner consistent with Section 6.4(c) of the Disclosure Schedules, Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.338-6 and 1.338-7, as applicable, and any other relevant provisions of Tax Law (the “Initial Allocation”). If Buyer disagrees with the Initial Allocation, Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Initial Allocation, deliver a notice (“Buyer Allocation Notice”) to Seller to such effect, specifying those items as to which Buyer disagrees and setting forth Buyer’s proposed allocation. If the Buyer Allocation Notice is duly and timely delivered, Seller and Buyer shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b) (and any other items that are treated as consideration for Tax purposes). If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement on any disputed items or amounts, then Buyer and Seller shall refer such dispute to the Neutral Accountant for a final determination with respect to the items or amounts in dispute pursuant to the procedure in Section 2.4 (which shall apply mutatis mutandis), which shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.4(c) of the Disclosure Schedules and applicable Law. Buyer and Seller shall each be bound by any item or amount on the Initial Allocation or the Buyer Allocation Notice not in dispute (such undisputed items or amounts, the “Agreed Items”), and Seller and Buyer shall each be bound by the final determination by the Neutral Accountant with respect to the disputed items. The allocation, as prepared by Seller if no Buyer Allocation Notice has been timely given, with respect to Agreed Items and as determined by the Neutral Accountant with respect to disputed items pursuant to this Section 6.4(c) (the “Allocation”) shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto and their respective Affiliates. The Allocation shall be adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any subsequent payments treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4. With respect to the Transferred Subsidiaries for which an election under Section 338(g) of the Code is made pursuant to Section 6.4(b), Buyer and its Affiliates shall (i) prepare (or cause to be prepared) IRS Form 8594, IRS Form 8883, and any similar forms required by state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in a manner consistent with the Allocation, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 6.4(c), (ii) promptly file such forms in the manner required by applicable Law and (iii) provide to the Seller true copies of such executed forms and proof of filing within five (5) Business Days of such filing. Buyer, the Seller and their Affiliates shall take no position that is inconsistent with the Allocation, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 6.4(c), on any Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. law). If the Allocation is disputed by any Taxing Authority, then the Party receiving notice (or whose Affiliate receives notice) of such dispute shall notify to the other Party promptly upon receipt of such notice (and in any event within ten (10) days thereof) and shall consult with the other Party concerning the resolution of such dispute.

(d) The Seller shall be entitled to any refunds (including any interest paid thereon), or credits in lieu thereof, of Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiaries or in respect of the Business attributable to Indemnified Taxes or any Unpaid Income Taxes to the extent included in the calculation of Indebtedness. If, after the Closing, the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) receive any such refund of Tax or credit in lieu thereof, whether received in cash or by the filing of any Tax Return using such refund of Tax or credit, such Buyer shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days) pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller the entire amount of the refund or credit received by such Buyer or its Affiliates, including interest thereon

received from the applicable Taxing Authority (but otherwise without interest) net of any (i) Taxes incurred by such Buyer or its Affiliates as a result of the receipt of such refund or credit and (ii) any reasonable expenses incurred by such Buyer in obtaining such refund. Buyer and its Affiliates shall, and shall cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to, promptly take all reasonable actions (including those actions reasonably requested by the Seller, which requested actions shall be at Seller’s cost) to file for and obtain any Tax refund or credit in lieu thereof and shall not surrender, forfeit, fail to collect or otherwise minimize or delay the receipt any such Tax refund or credit to which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 6.4(d).

Section 6.5 Survival. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, the provisions of this Article VI shall survive with respect to any Tax, Tax Return or other Tax matter through the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such Tax, Tax Return or other Tax matter.

(ii) each of the remaining representations and warranties of the Buyer set forth in Article IV shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as if made as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), except where the failure to be so true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation or qualification as to “materiality” or “Buyer Material Adverse Effect”) would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 No Survival of Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants. Each of the representations and warranties, and each of the covenants and agreements that contemplate or require performance prior to the Closing, in each case, set forth in this Agreement, or in any schedule, certificate or other document delivered hereunder, shall terminate at and as of the Closing. Each covenant and agreement set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or in any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder that contemplates or requires performance at or after the Closing shall expressly survive the Closing in accordance with its terms.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries), and each of its and their respective directors, officers and employees in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, Actions, costs, penalty, awards, fines, damages and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred, sustained or suffered by any of them to the extent arising out of or related to (a) any Liabilities of the Retained Business, in each case, whether such Liability arises prior to, at or after the Closing, (b) the conduct of the Retained Business following the Closing, (c) the Liabilities of Arrow, to the extent such Liability relates to the period prior to August 12, 2025, and (d) any Indemnified Taxes.

Section 8.3 Indemnification by the Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective directors, officers and employees in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any of them to the extent arising out of or related to (a) any liabilities of the Transferred Subsidiaries or the Business, in each case, whether such Liability arises prior to, at or after the Closing, (b) with respect to the Transferred Subsidiaries, the conduct of the Business following the Closing and (c) any Transfer Taxes allocated to the Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1(a).

Section 8.4 Limits on Indemnification and Other Damages.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification under this Article:

(i) with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(c), Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) for Losses (from any single claim, or from aggregated claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) that are less than $50,000 (any such Losses, “De Minimis Losses”);

(ii) with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(c), Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), unless the aggregate of all Losses to which the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(c), or the Seller Indemnitees entitled to indemnification under Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), as applicable (in each case, after giving effect to all limitations set forth in this Section and Section 8.5 on the recoverability of Losses, including the non-recoverability of De Minimis Losses) exceeds, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), and then for all such Losses from the first dollar; and

(iii) under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 to the extent such Loss has been taken into account in the calculation of the Purchase Price pursuant to Article II.

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

(i) the aggregate liability of the Seller or the Buyer under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as applicable, shall not exceed the cash consideration actually received by the Seller from the Buyer on the Closing Date; and

(ii) no Party shall have any liability to any other Party under this Agreement for (A) punitive damages (excluding any such punitive damages payable to a third Person under a Third Party Claim) or (B) consequential, incidental, indirect, exemplary, special or other indirect damages or damages based on lost profits or revenues, business interruption, diminution in value, loss of customers, loss of reputation, or multiples of expected financial performance.

Section 8.5 Exclusive Remedy; Nature of Payments; Other Matters.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller, the Buyer and the other Seller Indemnified Parties and Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than fraud that cannot be waived as a matter of Delaware law and claims for specific performance of the covenants and agreements hereof)shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII and Sections 2.3(b), 5.7, 5.9, 5.15 and 5.23. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Seller and the Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Seller Indemnified Parties and Buyer Indemnified Parties (as applicable), hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, all rights, claims and causes of Action (other than fraud that cannot be waived as a matter of Delaware law and claims for specific performance of the covenants and agreements hereof or thereof), regardless of the Law (including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq. or any other Environmental Law) or legal theory upon which such right, claim or cause of Action may be sought to be based, and regardless of whether at law or in equity, in contract or in tort or otherwise, that it may have against any other party arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII and Sections 2.3(b), 5.7, 5.9, 5.15 and 5.23. The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall not apply to any claims relating to or arising out of the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(b) Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(c) The amount of any and all Losses subject to indemnification under this Article shall be determined net of (i) any actual cash Tax benefit available in the year of such Loss to the applicable Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses and (ii) any insurance or other recoveries payable to the

Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the applicable Indemnified Party to, use reasonable best efforts to avoid and mitigate, to the fullest extent reasonably possible in the circumstances, any Losses, and to use reasonable best efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

Section 8.6 Procedures.

(a) In order for a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (each an, “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Article as a result of a Loss with respect to a claim or demand made by any third Person against such Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (such party, the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days thereof), describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the matter, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure or delay to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has forfeited material rights or defenses by reason of such failure or delay or is otherwise materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Subject to Section 8.6(d), if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense, negotiation or settlement and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party solely in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may not settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, and which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent

(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than monetary damages against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, based on the written advice of its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion related to money damages. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.6.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such matter, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure or delay to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has forfeited material rights or defenses by reason of such failure or delay or is otherwise materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.6(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any audit, examination, contest, claim, suit, litigation or other proceeding with or against any Taxing Authority with respect to any Indemnified Taxes.

Section 8.7 No Right of Setoff. Effective as of the Closing, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment, or similar rights that the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) has or may have with respect to any payments to be made under the Transition Services Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.

Section 8.8 Termination of Indemnification. The obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Party pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 shall continue indefinitely.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(i) by mutual written consent of the Seller and the Buyer;

(ii) by either the Seller or the Buyer:

(A) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 1, 2026 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that if on the Outside Date any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.3(g) shall not have been satisfied, then at the written election of Buyer or Seller, the Outside Date may be extended to December 1, 2026; provided, further, that no Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph if such Party is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and such breach results in or causes the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on or before the Outside Date; or

(B) any order of any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction permanently restraining, permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Closing shall become final and non-appealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(ii)(B) shall not be available to the Party seeking to terminate if such Party is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder and such breach would result in a failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.1.

(iii) by the Buyer if the Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform, either individually or in the aggregate, if occurring or continuing at the Closing, (A) would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3, and (B) cannot be cured by the Outside Date; provided, that the Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph if the Buyer is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement;

(iv) by the Seller if the Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform, either individually or in the aggregate, if occurring or continuing at the Closing, (A) would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 and (B) cannot be cured by the Outside Date; provided, that the Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph if the Seller is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement; or

(v) by the Seller if (i) all conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied or validly waived by the Buyer (or in the case of conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, are capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were then to occur) on or before the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2 (assuming satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII); (ii) the Buyer is obligated

100

hereunder to consummate the Closing and fails to consummate the Closing when required pursuant to Section 2.2; (iii) after the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2, the Seller delivers a written notice to the Buyer that irrevocably confirms that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied or validly waived by the Seller (or in the case of conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, are capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were then to occur) on or before the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2 (assuming satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII), and (B) Seller is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing; and (iv) the Buyer fails to consummate the Closing within five (5) Business Days following the Buyer’s receipt of the notice specified in clause (iii) above (it being understood that the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, but subject to the actual satisfaction of such conditions at the Closing) shall remain satisfied at the close of business on such fifth (5th) Business Day).

(b) The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section shall give notice of such termination to the other Party. Nothing in this Section shall limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 10.12 in lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement, this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall immediately become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of the Buyer or the Seller; provided, however, that:

(a) each Confidentiality Agreement and the following Sections of this Agreement shall survive the termination hereof: Section 1.1 (Definitions), Section 1.2 (Table of Definitions), Section 5.5 (Confidentiality), this Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination), Section 9.3 (Termination Fee), and Article X (General Provisions); and

(b) subject to Section 9.3, no such termination shall relieve any Party from any liability or damages resulting from a Willful Breach of this Agreement or fraud, in which case the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity; “Willful Breach” shall mean an intentional breach of this Agreement that is material and that is the consequence of an action taken by the breaching party or the failure by the breaching party to take an action it is required to take, in each case with knowledge at the time of acting or failing to act that such action or failure to act would cause a breach of this Agreement; provided, that the failure to consummate the Closing when required because of the unavailability of the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing in accordance with Section 5.23(c)) shall not be deemed, in and of itself, a Willful Breach (it being understood that the circumstances of such failure to consummate the Closing shall be considered when determining if a Willful Breach occurred). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of monetary damages of Buyer and any Buyer Related Party owed to the Seller and the Seller Related Parties under or in connection with this

101

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall in no event exceed an amount equal to $180,000,000 (the “Liability Cap”), (B) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of monetary damages of Seller and any Seller Related Party owed to Buyer and the Buyer Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall in no event exceed the Liability Cap, (C) in no event shall the Seller or any Seller Related Party seek to recover any amounts in excess of the Liability Cap, and (D) in no event shall the Buyer or any Buyer Related Party seek to recover any amounts in excess of the Liability Cap; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing limitations in this sentence shall apply to any claims for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII and all claims for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII shall be subject only to the limitations set forth in Article VIII.

Section 9.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iv) or Section 9.1(a)(v) or by either Party pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii) at a time when Seller would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iv) or Section 9.1(a)(v) (each such termination event, a “Fee Trigger”), then within two Business Days of such termination Buyer shall deliver a notice to the Seller that an amount equal to $90,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) is due and payable by Buyer to the Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.3 (the “Termination Fee Notice”).

(b) Within five Business Days of receipt by the Seller of the Termination Fee Notice, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written notice informing Buyer whether or not the Seller elects to accept the Termination Fee (the “Seller Fee Notice”). If the Seller does not deliver to Parent the Seller Fee Notice by the date that is five Business Days after the Seller receives the Termination Fee Notice, the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Termination Fee. If the Seller elects (or is deemed to elect pursuant hereto) the Termination Fee, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, within five Business Days of such acceptance (or deemed acceptance pursuant hereto), to an account specified by the Seller to Buyer within five Business Days of receipt of the Seller Fee Notice. If the Seller does not elect (whether via an affirmative election or a deemed election) to accept the Termination Fee, then the Seller (i) irrevocably waives its entitlement to payment of the Termination Fee and (ii) shall be entitled to seek the payment of monetary damages, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall limit the Seller’s post-termination rights to specific performance of ▇▇▇▇▇’s post-termination obligations under this Agreement).

(c) Accordingly, if the Buyer fails to timely pay or cause to be paid any amount actually due pursuant to this Section 9.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Seller commences an Action which results in a judgment against the Buyer for the payment set forth in this Section 9.3, the Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action (collectively, the “Recovery Expenses”); provided, that in no event shall the Recovery Expenses exceed $2,500,000; provided, further, that if such proceeding results in a judgment in favor of the Buyer, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to the Buyer, the Buyer’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such proceeding.

102

(d) Under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive more than one of (i) a grant of specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.12 of the Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing and pay the Purchase Price (and that actually results in the Buyer consummating the Closing and paying the Purchase Price), (ii) payment of monetary damages in respect of Willful Breach and (iii) payment of the Termination Fee and the Recovery Expenses (if payable) in connection with the valid termination of this Agreement.

(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall the Buyer be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, and (ii) the agreements set forth in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Seller accepts (or is deemed to accept pursuant hereto) the Termination Fee, and the Termination Fee is actually paid to the Seller, such payment of the Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages and, together with any Recovery Expenses, be the sole and exclusive remedy (other than any remedies pursuant to Section 10.12 in connection with provisions of this Agreement that survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.2(a)) of the Seller and the Seller Related Parties against Buyer and its direct or indirect equity holders, partners, directors, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Related Parties”) and the Debt Financing Entities, for all Losses, damages, costs or expenses in respect of this Agreement (or the termination thereof) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (or the failure of such transactions to occur for any reason or for no reason) or any breach of any covenant or agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or any representation (whether oral or written) made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (including Section 9.2), upon payment of the Termination Fee, together with any Recovery Expenses, none of the Buyer Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation (other than any liabilities or obligations pursuant to Section 10.12 in connection with provisions of this Agreement that survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.2(a)) relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and none of the Seller or any other Seller Related Party shall seek or be entitled to recover any other damages; provided, neither the foregoing nor any other provisions herein shall limit Buyer’s obligations under Section 5.5, 5.6 or 5.23 or under each Confidentiality Agreement.

ARTICLE X

No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
