The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. The Closing shall be deemed to take effect at 11:59 p.m., Central European Time, on the Closing Date.

SECTION 1.02. The Acquisition. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, (a) the Equity Selling Entities shall sell to the Equity Buying Entities, and the Equity Buying Entities shall purchase from the Equity Selling Entities, the Acquired Equity Interests, with full title guarantee and together with all rights attached or accruing to such Acquired Equity Interests at the Closing (including the right to receive any dividend, distribution or return of capital declared, paid or made on or after the Closing), (b) Seller Parent shall cause the Asset Selling Entities to, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Asset Buying Entities, and the Asset Buying Entities shall purchase and accept from the Asset Selling Entities, the Additional Transferred Assets, in each case, free and clear of any and all Liens, other than Permitted Liens and (c) the Asset Buying Entities shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and agree to pay, honor, discharge and perform such Assumed Liabilities when and to the extent due and payable (the transactions described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 1.02, collectively, the “Acquisition”). The aggregate consideration payable in respect of the Acquisition shall be (x) the Estimated Closing Cash Consideration (payable as set forth in Section 1.04 and subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.05) and (y) the Contingent Additional Amount pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Contingent Additional Amount Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Buyer Party or Asset Buying Entity is purchasing, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the Transactions, Seller Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ right, title or interest in, to or under any asset or property that is not a Transferred Asset or Acquired Equity Interest. Specifically, Seller Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ right, title or interest in, to and under any

Excluded Asset is not being conveyed to any Buyer Party or Asset Buying Entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Buyer Parties, Asset Buying Entities or any Affiliate thereof shall assume or be obligated to pay, honor, discharge or perform any Business Retained Liability. Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, will remain liable to pay, honor, discharge and perform the Business Retained Liabilities when and to the extent due and payable. The Buyer Parties shall not be obliged to sell or purchase any Acquired Equity Interests or Additional Transferred Assets unless the sale and purchase of all the Acquired Equity Interests and all Additional Transferred Assets (subject to Section 1.08) is completed simultaneously.

SECTION 1.03. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) At least 60 days before the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall provide Buyer Parent with a schedule provisionally allocating the Estimated Closing Cash Consideration (and including any other amounts treated as consideration for applicable Tax purposes, including the fair market value of the Contingent Additional Amount Agreement as of the Closing) among (i) each of the Acquired Equity Interests, (ii) the aggregate of the Additional Transferred Assets and (iii) (A) each of the assets of the Acquired Companies that are properly treated as acquired for Tax purposes and (B) each of the Additional Transferred Assets (the “Provisional Allocation”). Buyer Parent will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Provisional Allocation and Seller Parent shall consider in good faith Buyer Parent’s reasonable comments to the Provisional Allocation.

(b) Within forty-five (45) days of the final determination of the Adjustment Amount, Seller Parent shall provide Buyer Parent with a schedule allocating the Final Closing Cash Consideration (and any other amounts treated as consideration for applicable Tax purposes, including the fair market value of the Contingent Additional Amount Agreement as of the Closing) among (i) (A) each of the Acquired Equity Interests and (B) the aggregate of the Additional Transferred Assets and (ii) (A) each of the assets of the Acquired Companies that are properly treated as acquired for Tax purposes and (B) each of the Additional Transferred Assets (the “Estimated Asset Allocation Schedule”). The Estimated Asset Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) If Buyer Parent does not raise any objections to the Estimated Asset Allocation Schedule in writing to Seller Parent within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof, the Estimated Asset Allocation Schedule shall become the “Final Asset Allocation Schedule”. If Buyer Parent does raise an objection to the Estimated Asset Allocation Schedule in writing to Seller Parent within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the commencement of such good faith negotiations (or such longer period as Seller Parent and Buyer Parent mutually agree in writing), then at the end of such thirty (30) day period, Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall submit the Estimated Asset Allocation Schedule to an internationally recognized independent accounting firm, which firm (i) shall be mutually agreed upon by Buyer Parent and Seller Parent, (ii) shall not be a regular accounting firm for Buyer Parent, Seller Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (the “Independent Allocation Expert”), and (iii) will make a determining resolution of any disputes. If Buyer Parent and Seller Parent are unable to so agree on the Independent Allocation Expert within ten (10) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, then Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall each select a firm and such firms shall jointly select a third internationally recognized independent accounting firm (which shall not be the regular accounting firm for Buyer Parent, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates), which third firm shall be the Independent Allocation Expert. The costs of the Independent Allocation Expert shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and fifty percent (50%) by Seller Parent. The Estimated Asset Allocation Schedule, as agreed by the Parties or determined by the Independent Allocation Expert, shall become the “Final Asset Allocation Schedule”.

(d) The Final Asset Allocation Schedule shall apply for all Tax purposes, and no Party shall take, or cause or permit its respective Affiliates to take, any position inconsistent with the Final Asset Allocation Schedule on any Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding or in any communication (whether written or unwritten) with any Governmental Entity, except as required by applicable Law. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to update the Final Asset Allocation Schedule to reflect any adjustments necessary for Tax purposes, including pursuant to Section 1.05, Article VIII and under the terms of the Contingent Additional Amount Agreement. Any amount paid pursuant to Section 5.28(c) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter shall be fully allocated to the portion of the Business operated for Commercialization in each jurisdiction identified on Section 5.28(a) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter and the remainder of the Estimated Closing Cash Consideration (and any other amounts treated as consideration for applicable Tax purposes) shall be allocated to all other Acquired Equity Interests and Additional Transferred Assets.

(e) If any VAT, Transfer Taxes or any Tax Returns with respect to VAT or Transfer Taxes are due before the Final Asset Allocation Schedule has been determined, Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall use the Provisional Allocation and if a more detailed allocation is required with respect to such Tax Return, Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall cooperate in good faith to reach an agreement on an estimated allocation before the applicable due date of such Tax Return. Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall cooperate to amend such Tax Returns and adjust the amount of such VAT or Transfer Taxes paid to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with the Final Asset Allocation Schedule, except as required by applicable Law.

SECTION 1.05. Purchase Price Adjustment.

The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement is to measure the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Consent Impact Amount, and the resulting Final Closing Cash Consideration, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such process is not intended to permit the introduction of accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining any such amount different than those set forth in this Agreement. Following the delivery of the Closing Statement, Buyer Parent shall provide Seller Parent (at Seller Parent’s sole cost and expense) with reasonable access to the relevant personnel, and Business Records (or copies thereof) in the possession or under the control, of Buyer Parent or the Acquired Companies, subject to the Access Limitations, to the extent related to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Consent Impact Amount and relevant to Seller Parent’s review of the Closing Statement. Neither the auditors nor the independent accountants of Buyer Parent or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall be obligated to make any work papers available to any Person under this Agreement unless and until such Person has signed a customary and reasonable confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors or independent accountants. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the thirtieth (30^th) day following delivery thereof by Buyer Parent, including all calculations and determinations set forth therein, unless Seller Parent gives written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 9.01 (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer Parent prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the specific item(s) and amount(s) of any disagreement so asserted. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer Parent, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (i) the date on which Buyer Parent and Seller Parent resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (ii) the date on which all such disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Adjustment Expert pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 1.05. During the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the items and amounts specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Neither Buyer Parent nor Seller Parent shall disclose to the Independent Adjustment Expert, and the Independent Adjustment Expert shall not consider for any purposes, any settlement discussions or settlement offers made by any of the Parties related to any disputed item, all of which shall be made without prejudice. At the end of such thirty (30) day period, Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall submit to an internationally recognized independent accounting firm, which firm (i) shall be mutually agreed upon by Buyer Parent and Seller Parent and (ii) shall not be the regular accounting firm for Buyer Parent, Seller Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (the “Independent Adjustment Expert”), for review of the specific items and amounts that remain in dispute and were included in the Notice of Disagreement. If Buyer Parent and Seller Parent are unable to so agree on the Independent Adjustment Expert within ten (10) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, then Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall each select a firm and such firms shall jointly select a third internationally recognized independent accounting firm (which shall not be the regular accounting firm for Buyer Parent, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates), which third firm shall be the Independent Adjustment Expert. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Adjustment Expert to (a) deliver simultaneously to Buyer Parent and Seller Parent a preliminary written report (the “Preliminary Report”) setting forth its preliminary resolution and, if applicable, its preliminary computation of the disputed items and the effect of such preliminary resolution on the Closing Statement and the Independent Adjustment Expert’s preliminary calculation of the Working

Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Consent Impact Amount and the resulting Final Closing Cash Consideration, as promptly as practicable, but in any event by no later than thirty (30) days after the date of such submission, and (b) deliver simultaneously to Buyer Parent and Seller Parent a final written report (the “Final Report”) setting forth its final resolution and, if applicable, its final computation of the disputed items and amounts submitted to it in accordance with this Section 1.05(b) and the effect of such resolution on the Closing Statement and the Independent Adjustment Expert’s determination of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Consent Impact Amount and the resulting Final Closing Cash Consideration, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such submission (it being agreed that any delay shall not invalidate the Independent Adjustment Expert’s determination). Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall cooperate in good faith with the Independent Adjustment Expert during the term of its engagement, but in no event shall any Party participate in teleconferences or meetings with, or make oral presentations to, the Independent Adjustment Expert without the prior written consent of the Buyer Parent or Seller Parent (as the case may be). The terms of appointment and engagement of the Independent Adjustment Expert shall be as agreed upon between Buyer Parent and Seller Parent in writing.

(c) In resolving any such disputed item and amount, the Independent Adjustment Expert (i) shall act in the capacity of an independent expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) shall limit its review solely to whether the disputed items and amounts specifically set forth in the Notice of Disagreement (other than disputed items and amounts thereafter resolved by mutual written agreement of Buyer Parent and Seller Parent in accordance with Section 1.05(b)) was calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) shall not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value for such item, or less than the smallest value for such item, claimed in the Closing Statement or in the Notice of Disagreement, (iv) shall make its determination based solely on a single written statement delivered by Buyer Parent, on the one hand, and Seller Parent, on the other hand, a single rebuttal statement delivered by each, written comments in one additional statement delivered by Buyer Parent, on the one hand, and Seller Parent on the other hand, within ten (10) days following delivery of the Preliminary Report, and on written materials provided to the Independent Adjustment Expert in accordance with Section 1.05(b) (i.e., not on independent review), and (v) shall be entitled to refer to, and to interpret, the terms and conditions of this Agreement relating to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Consent Impact Amount and the Final Closing Cash Consideration and such other terms and conditions of this Agreement as are required in order to allow it to carry out its determination under this Section 1.05. The Independent Adjustment Expert is not authorized to, and shall not, make any other determination, including (A) any determination with respect to any matter included in the Closing Statement or the Notice of Disagreement that was not submitted for resolution to the Independent Adjustment Expert, (B) any determination as to the accuracy of the warranties set forth in this Agreement or (C) any determination as to compliance by any Party with any of its respective covenants in this Agreement. Subject to Section 1.05(f), any dispute not within the scope of disputes to be resolved by the Independent Adjustment Expert pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall be resolved as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Any determination by the Independent Adjustment Expert and any work or analyses performed by the Independent Adjustment Expert may not be offered as evidence of a breach of any warranty in this Agreement or a breach of any covenant in this Agreement (other than a breach of this Section 1.05 in any Action, without limiting any rights with respect to the underlying events, facts, and circumstances.

(d) The Final Report shall include a brief summary of the Independent Adjustment Expert’s reasons for its determination of each issue.

(e) The resolution of disputed items and amounts by the Independent Adjustment Expert shall be final and binding (other than in the case of fraud or manifest error) and an order may be entered in respect thereof by a court or tribunal having jurisdiction over the Party(ies) against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Independent Adjustment Expert incurred

pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall be allocated between Seller Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer Parent, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the final amount of the adjustment of the items and amounts submitted to the Independent Adjustment Expert. For example, in the event that Seller Parent asserts that the calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount should have been ten percent (10%) higher than the amount set forth in the Closing Statement, and the Independent Adjustment Expert determines that the final the Working Capital Adjustment Amount shall be seven percent (7%) higher than the amount set forth in the Closing Statement, then seventy percent (70%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Adjustment Expert shall be paid by Buyer Parent and thirty percent (30%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Adjustment Expert shall be paid by Seller Parent. The Independent Adjustment Expert shall determine all disputed item(s) and amount(s), including the apportionment of its fees and expenses as between Seller Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer Parent, on the other hand, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.05.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the procedures set forth in this Section 1.05 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any disputes related to the items required to be included or reflected in the calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Consent Impact Amount and the Final Closing Cash Consideration; provided, that, with respect to the Consent Impact Amount, the procedures set forth in this Section 1.05 shall be limited to the calculation thereof and shall not apply to the determination of whether a Consent constitutes an Acceptable Consent or a Contract constitutes a Replacement Contract.

SECTION 1.06. Payment of Adjustment Amount. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Binding Closing Statement Date:

(a) if the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then Buyer Parent shall pay, or cause the Equity Buying Entities and Asset Buying Entities to pay, to Seller Parent (on behalf of the Asset Selling Entities) and the Equity Selling Entities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in euros to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller Parent within five (5) Business Days after the Binding Closing Statement Date, an aggregate amount equal to such Adjustment Amount allocated among the Buying Entities and the Selling Entities in accordance with the Provisional Allocation or, if available, the Final Asset Allocation Schedule;

(b) if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Seller Parent shall pay to the Equity Buying Entities and the Asset Buying Entities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in euros to the account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer Parent within five (5) Business Days after the Binding Closing Statement Date, an amount equal to the absolute value of such Adjustment Amount allocated among the Buying Entities and the Selling Entities in accordance with the Provisional Allocation or, if available, the Final Asset Allocation Schedule; and

(c) if the Adjustment Amount is zero euros (€0.00), then neither Party shall have any obligation to make (or to cause any of their Subsidiaries to make) a payment to the other Party in respect thereof.

SECTION 1.07. Withholding. Seller Parent, Buyer Parent and their respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld pursuant to any applicable Tax Law. Prior to making any deduction or withholding, the deducting and withholding Party shall (a) notify the other Party of the amounts subject to deduction or withholding as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to the anticipated date of payment, (b) provide a written explanation of the legal basis requiring such deduction or withholding and (c) provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to deliver such forms, certificates or other evidence as would eliminate or reduce any such required deduction or withholding and

shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including by structuring payments between entities located in the same jurisdiction, where practicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of (i) an Asset Buying Entity not being resident for Tax purposes in a Designated Jurisdiction, (ii) Buyer Parent, pursuant to Section 9.11, assigning its rights to buy any of the Acquired Companies or the Additional Transferred Assets to an assignee that is not resident for Tax purposes in a Designated Jurisdiction or (iii) in respect of any payments made by Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or, in each case, any assignee thereof not being resident for Tax purposes in a Seller Designated Jurisdiction, any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement are subject to deduction or withholding (or increased deduction or withholding), the deducting or withholding party shall pay such additional amounts as necessary so that the total amount received by the applicable counterparty is equal to the amount that would have been received to the extent that no such deduction or withholding, or a reduced deduction or withholding, would have been imposed absent the matters set out in clauses (i) through (iii) above. The second and third sentence of this paragraph shall not apply in the case of deductions or withholdings (i) as a result of failure to provide tax forms as described under Section 1.04(c)(vii) or any similar form under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, to the extent the recipient of the applicable payment is legally able to deliver such forms, or (ii) with respect to amounts treated as compensation for Tax purposes.

SECTION 1.08. Legal Impediments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

(a) To the extent that the transfer of any Transferred Asset or the assumption of any Assumed Liability would require any Consent or Filing in connection with the Closing to the extent such Consent or Filing has not been obtained or made, as applicable, as of the Closing or such transfer is otherwise prohibited by applicable Law (each, a “Legal Impediment”), such Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability (each, together with any Commingled Contract for which the Commingled Contract Separation has not occurred prior to Closing, a “Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability” and, collectively, the “Legal Impediment Delayed Assets/Liabilities”) shall not be transferred to or assumed by any Acquired Company in the Business Internal Reorganization and shall not be transferred to or assumed by the Asset Buying Entities at the Closing.

(b) For a period not exceeding two (2) years after the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall continue to use, and cause its Affiliates to use, best endeavors to promptly obtain Consents (including Acceptable Consents) from Persons and make such Filings with Persons, including, in each case, as may be required to permanently remove each Legal Impediment to the transfer or assumption of such Legal Impediment Delayed Assets/Liabilities (or to effect the Commingled Contract Separations), including as may be required to transfer, or establish new Contracts with respect to, the aspects of any Commingled Contracts that constitute Legal Impediment Delayed Assets/Liabilities, and Buyer Parent shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies as from the Closing Date) to diligently assist and cooperate in good faith with Seller Parent and its Affiliates to obtain such Consents (including Acceptable Consents) or make such Filings; provided, that notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, neither Buyer Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall have any obligation in connection with any Legal Impediment Delayed Assets/Liabilities or the obtaining of any Acceptable Consent, and without Buyer Parent’s consent, Seller Parent shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to (i) commence, defend or participate in any litigation, (ii) pay sums of money (other than payment by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries of amounts expressly permitted in accordance with the immediately following sentence) or provide any guarantee or other consideration, (iii) incur any other Liability, (iv) waive or amend any terms of any Legal Impediment Delayed Assets/Liabilities or of this Agreement or any other Contract to which Buyer Parent or such Affiliate is a party other than such waivers or amendments of Contracts that constitute Permitted Consent Changes (as defined in Section 6.02(f) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter) or (v) agree to any undertaking, or otherwise agree to any action, that would adversely affect Buyer Parent or such Affiliate or the Business. Seller Parent, its Affiliates or its Representatives shall bear any costs or expenses which are necessary in order to remove any such Legal Impediment, establish any such new Contract (or

effect such Commingled Contract Separation), or obtaining Acceptable Consents; provided, that Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, pay, offer or agree to pay any fees, costs, expenses or other sums of money in connection with effecting any Legal Impediment Delayed Transfer other than bona fide non-recurring fees not to exceed the Consent Fee Cap. Seller Parent shall keep Buyer Parent reasonably apprised on a periodic basis on the status of removing Legal Impediments and obtaining Acceptable Consents. If applicable, upon the removal of all applicable Legal Impediments with respect to a Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability, or otherwise upon Buyer Parent’s request, such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability shall be automatically (without any further action by any Person and without the payment of any consideration) transferred to or assumed by the Equity Buying Entities, the Asset Buying Entities or any Affiliate thereof, as determined by Buyer Parent (any such transfer or assumption, a “Legal Impediment Delayed Transfer”, and the date of any such transfer or assumption, the “Legal Impediment Delayed Transfer Date”).

(c) With respect to any Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability, from and after the Closing until the earlier of (i) the Legal Impediment Transfer Date and (ii) such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability terminating, expiring, being depleted or otherwise becoming permanently unavailable to Seller Parent or its Affiliates (such period, the “Benefits/Burdens Period”), (A) Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at all times maintain any applicable Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability in the Ordinary Course of Business (including maintaining any Permits, Health Care Approvals, insurance or other requirements related thereto, and shall not terminate, rescind or otherwise modify such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability or waive any rights thereunder without Buyer Parent’s prior written consent) and not take any action (or omit to take any action) with respect thereto that would have been a breach of Section 4.01 (Operation of the Business) or Section 5.21 (Exclusivity) had such action (or omission) taken place between the Signing Date and the Closing Date or any action (or omit to take any action) that would materially delay, prevent or frustrate the ability to transfer such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.08, and (B) the Parties shall use, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use, at Seller Parent’s cost, best endeavors to develop and implement, for no additional consideration, any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to place the Buying Entities or any of their Affiliates, as determined by Buyer Parent, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability had been transferred to or assumed by the Equity Buying Entities or the Asset Buying Entities (or as if the Commingled Contract Separation had been effected) at Closing such that all benefits and burdens relating to such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability inure to the Equity Buying Entities, the Asset Buying Entities or any Affiliate thereof, as applicable, for the entire Benefits/Burdens Period. Seller Parent shall take such steps as Buyer Parent may require during the Benefits/Burdens Period to enforce any right of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates against any other party to any Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Closing, with the prior written consent of Buyer Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller Parent shall cause each Acquired Company to transfer any Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability held by such Acquired Company to Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Acquired Companies (and the Business Steps Plan shall be deemed amended to provide for such transfers and Section 9.02(e) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be updated to reflect such deemed amendment). Such transfer shall be documented in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer Parent, and Buyer Parent shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment (following appropriate consultation) on any such documentation prior to any effectiveness thereof.

(e) In connection with any Legal Impediment Delayed Transfer, (i) the Parties shall cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in structuring such transfer and assumption, as applicable, in a Tax efficient manner and in compliance with applicable Law, which may include effecting such transfer and assumption, as applicable, by means of the transfer of all of the issued

and outstanding equity interests in a Person holding the applicable Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability (and no other material assets or liabilities) (any such Person, a “Delayed Transfer Company”) and (ii) the Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, duly executed instruments of assignment and assumption in respect of the applicable Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability (or the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Delayed Transfer Company holding such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller Parent and Buyer Parent, evidencing the sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance and delivery, as applicable, of the applicable Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability (or the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Delayed Transfer Company holding such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability) on the Legal Impediment Delayed Transfer Date to the Equity Buying Entities, the Asset Buying Entities or an Affiliate thereof, as determined by Buyer Parent.

(f) In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement or the Distribution Agreement, as applicable, with respect to any Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability or any pending or approved Health Care Approval, the Transition Services Agreement or the Distribution Agreement, as applicable, shall take precedence with respect to such Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability or such pending or approved Health Care Approval.

(g) Seller Parent shall deliver a list of each Legal Impediment Delayed Asset/Liability to Buyer Parent no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing.

SECTION 1.09. Physical Inventory Count. At the request of Buyer Parent (which shall be made no later than twenty one (21) days prior to the Closing Date), a physical count of all or any portion of the Inventory of the Business located at the top five (5) storage locations by Inventory value for the six (6) month period ended on the month-end prior to such request (provided, that Seller Parent shall promptly notify Buyer Parent of such five (5) locations and their aggregate approximate percentage of all Inventory and Buyer Parent shall have the option to select up to three (3) additional storage locations for conducting such physical count by written notice to Seller Parent no later than five (5) Business Days following Seller Parent’s notification of the five (5) locations) shall be conducted jointly by Seller Parent and Buyer Parent and, as the case may be, their respective Representatives and advisors (the “Inventory Count”). The Parties will discuss in good faith the logistics, timing (which is intended to be as soon as reasonably practicable around the Closing Date), locations, process, methodologies, coverage, and other aspects of the Inventory Count. The valuation of the Inventory in the Inventory Count, if any, shall be performed in accordance with the Accounting Principles, so that the results of the Inventory Count may be reflected by the Parties in their good faith calculations of the Closing Working Capital. Buyer Parent agrees and acknowledges that the Inventory Count shall be conducted in a manner which does not materially interrupt the operations of the Business and the Parties shall act in good faith in order to resolve any dispute on the Inventory quantities subject to the Inventory Count on the date of such Inventory Count, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the Inventory Count.

SECTION 1.10. Allocation of Proceeds From Identified Divestitures. Buyer Parent and Seller Parent, as applicable, shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions to pay to the other Party any amounts received in connection with any Identified Divestitures in accordance with the procedures, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in Section 5.28 of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter, including any additional amounts payable or adjustments required as set forth therein. The obligations of the Parties under this Section 1.10 shall survive until the completion of the Identified Divestitures and payments related thereto in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.28(b) and Section 5.28(c), respectively, of the Seller Parent Disclosure Schedule.

ARTICLE II

Warranties of the Seller Parties

The Seller Parties, jointly and severally, warrants to the Buyer Parties that each warranty set out in this Article II (collectively, the “Seller Warranties”) is true and accurate as of the Signing Date, was true and accurate as of the Put Date and will be true and accurate at the Closing Date as if repeated immediately before the Closing by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting at that date (except to the extent such warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting at such earlier date). Each Equity Selling Entity and Seller Parent acknowledges that the Buyer Parties are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon the Seller Warranties. Each Seller Warranty is separate and independent, and is not to be limited by reference to any other Seller Warranty or by anything in this Agreement. The Seller Warranties are qualified by reference to those matters fairly disclosed in the corresponding section of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter (subject to the definition of Seller Parent Disclosure Letter).

SECTION 2.01. Organization and Good Standing; Organizational Documents.

(b) True and complete copies of the organizational, governing or similar documents of each Acquired Company and any amendments thereto, as in effect on the Put Date, have been made available to Buyer Parent and no amendments or other modifications thereto are pending. Each such organizational or similar document is in full force and effect, and no Acquired Company is in violation in any material respect of any provisions thereof.

SECTION 2.02. Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Each of Seller Parent and the Equity Selling Entities has all necessary corporate or similar power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and each of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities and the Acquired Companies has all necessary corporate or similar power and authority to execute and deliver any other Transaction Document to which the same is, or is specified to be, a party, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions to be consummated by the same. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller Parent and the Equity Selling Entities of this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities and the Acquired Companies of any other Transaction Document to which the same is, or is specified to be, a party, and the consummation of the Transactions to be consummated by the same, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action by Seller Parent, each Selling Entity or each Acquired Company, as applicable. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, this Agreement has been, and each other Transaction Document to which Seller Parent, each Selling Entity or each Acquired Company is, or is specified to be, a party will, at the Closing, be, duly executed and delivered by Seller Parent, each Selling Entity or each Acquired Company, as applicable. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each other

Transaction Document to which Seller Parent, each Selling Entity or each Acquired Company is, or is specified to be, a party will, at the Closing, constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller Parent, each Selling Entity or each Acquired Company, as applicable, enforceable against Seller Parent, each Selling Entity or each Acquired Company, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and any implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or remedies in general, as from time to time in effect, or (ii) the exercise by courts of equity powers (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

SECTION 2.03. Acquired Equity Interests; Capitalization.

(a) Each Equity Selling Entity has good and valid title to each of the Acquired Equity Interests. All the Acquired Equity Interests are fully paid and there is no liability to pay any additional contributions on the Acquired Equity Interests and each Equity Selling Entity is: (i) the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Acquired Equity Interests free from all Liens; and (ii) entitled to transfer or procure the transfer of the Acquired Equity Interests pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Assuming the Equity Buying Entities have the requisite power and authority to be the lawful owner of the Acquired Equity Interests to be received by such Equity Buying Entities hereunder, upon (A) delivery by each of the Equity Selling Entities to the Equity Buying Entities at the Closing of the items described in Section 1.04(b)(i) and Section 1.04(d) and (B) delivery by Buyer Parent, the Equity Buying Entities or Asset Buying Entities to each of the Equity Selling Entities and Seller Parent (on behalf of the Asset Selling Entities) of the aggregate consideration in respect of the Acquisition due at the Closing, as described in Section 1.04(a)(i), good and valid title to the Acquired Equity Interests to be received by the Equity Buying Entities hereunder will pass to the Equity Buying Entities at the Closing, free and clear of Liens, other than transfer restrictions from the Debt Financing. The Acquired Equity Interests and all other equity interests in each of the Acquired Companies have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and have not been issued in violation of any applicable Law, purchase option, call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or other similar right under any provision of the Applicable Business Organization Law or the organizational or similar documents of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Section 2.03(a) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the Put Date and Signing Date for each Acquired Company, the number of authorized, issued and outstanding equity interests in such Acquired Company and the record and beneficial owners thereof. No person (other than the Equity Selling Entities), in respect of the Acquired Equity Interests, has any interest of any nature in, or has any right (exercisable now or in the future and whether contingent or not) to call for or require the allotment, issue, creation or transfer of, or any other Liens over or affecting, any issued or unissued share capital, loan capital or other securities in or of any entity or group (including the Acquired Equity Interests). The Acquired Equity Interests comprise the entire allotted and issued share capital of the Acquired Companies and are properly allotted and issued and fully paid up.

(b) (i) No Acquired Company has any authorized or outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of its capital stock or other equity interests may vote (clause (i), “Voting Debt”) and (ii) none of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has issued, authorized, outstanding or granted any options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or indebtedness, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which it is a party or by which it is bound (A) obligating it to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, capital stock or other equity interests in any Acquired Company, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock or other equity interest (or other interests that derive their value based on equity interests) in it or into any Voting Debt of any Acquired Company, or (B) obligating it to issue,

grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, right, security, indebtedness, unit, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking (clause (ii), “Stock Rights”). Other than this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the organizational, governing or similar documents of the applicable Acquired Company, there are no Contracts to which Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting of the capital stock or other equity interests in any Acquired Company. Except as set forth on Section 2.03(b) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter, no Acquired Company has any Subsidiaries or owns, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, any shares of capital stock or other equity interests (or other interests that derive their value based on equity interests) in any other Person.

SECTION 2.04. Title to Tangible Properties; Transferred Assets. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, taken as a whole, as of the Put Date and the Signing Date, the applicable Acquired Company or one or more of the Asset Selling Entities has good and valid title to, a valid leasehold interest in or valid licenses or rights to use the tangible Transferred Assets, free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted Liens). This Section 2.04 does not relate to real property, which is the subject of Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.05. Sufficiency of Assets.

Financing Commitments”) between Buyer Parent and the Persons identified therein (together with any Persons that become a party thereto after the Put Date in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Debt Financing Sources”) and executed by the Debt Financing Sources, pursuant to which each of the lenders party thereto has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to lend the amounts set forth therein (collectively, the “Debt Financing”) for the purpose of, among other things, funding the Transactions and related fees and expenses. Buyer Parent has also delivered to Seller Parent true and complete copies of the fully executed equity commitment letters, together with all annexes, schedules and exhibits thereto, dated as of October 1, 2023 (the “Equity Financing Commitment” and together with the Debt Financing Commitments, the “Financing Commitments”), from the Persons identified therein (together with any Persons that become a party thereto after the Put Date in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Equity Financing Sources” and, together with the Debt Financing Sources, the “Financing Sources”), reflecting each such Person’s commitment to provide to Buyer Parent, indirectly through Care Topco, at the Closing the cash amount set forth therein subject to the terms and conditions thereof (the “Equity Financing” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”). Each of the Equity Financing Commitments, in the form so delivered, is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Care Topco and Buyer Parent and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, the Equity Financing Sources party thereto and is enforceable against Care Topco and Buyer Parent and, to the Knowledge of Buyer Parent, each such Equity Financing Source in accordance with the terms of the Equity Financing Commitment, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

Buyer Parent has fully paid or caused to be paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Financing Commitments to be paid thereunder on or prior to the Put Date.

The obligation to fund the full amount of the Financing pursuant to the terms of the Financing Commitments is not subject to any conditions precedent or other contingencies, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments. Buyer Parent acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contemplated hereby, including its obligations to consummate the Transactions and its obligations under Article I, are not conditioned upon or subject to the availability of funds to Buyer Parent. As of the Put Date, there are no Contracts or other agreements, arrangements or understandings (whether oral or written) to which Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party related in any material respect to the Financing on the Closing Date other than as expressly contained or referred to in the Financing Commitments or delivered to Seller Parent on or prior to the Put Date.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, act in good faith and cooperate as may be required in connection with obtaining the Regulatory Approvals, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable, including, in the event any Governmental Entity expresses any concerns or requests or imposes any conditions in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, by proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting any reasonable actions, inactions, restrictions or agreements solely with respect to the Business in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals.

SECTION 5.02. Employee Matters.

(a) To the extent it is anticipated that any Business Employee will not transfer automatically to the Buyer Parties or their Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, upon the Closing, the Buyer Parties or one of their Affiliates shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing and in accordance with applicable Law, make a written offer of employment (the “Conditional Offer”) to each such Business Employee (other than any such Business Employee whose employment transfers to the Buyer Parties or one of their Affiliates in accordance with the Transfer Regulations) who is actively employed by Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the Acquired Companies, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Closing (including Business Employees who are on vacation, jury duty or short-term disability, but not including Business Employees who are on long-term disability or approved leave of absence as of

immediately prior to the Closing (such employees on long-term disability or approved leave of absence, the “Inactive Employees”)), for the same or a similar position or job classification as held by such Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing, with such employment to be effective as of 11:59 p.m., local time, on the Closing (the “Transfer Date”). The Conditional Offer shall be conditional upon the successful Closing, and shall be invalid if Closing does not occur. Buyer Parent shall provide Seller Parent with a copy of such offer of employment, Seller Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the offer, and Buyer Parent shall consider Seller Parent’s comments in good faith. Buyer Parent shall make a written offer of employment to each Inactive Employee, to the extent such Inactive Employee presents himself or herself for active employment within six (6) months following the Closing, for the same or a similar position or job classification as held by such Business Employee with Seller Parent immediately prior to the Closing. Such offers of employment shall include employment terms that are (i) substantially comparable in the aggregate to the terms of the applicable Business Employee’s employment with Seller Parent immediately prior to the Closing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, compensation and benefits (but without taking into account amounts granted under voluntary profit sharing (intéressement) and mandatory profit sharing (participation)), (ii) sufficient to avoid statutory, common law or other severance obligations and to avoid severance and similar obligations under any applicable severance benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement or under applicable Law to the extent possible to do so under applicable Law and (iii) otherwise comply in all respects with applicable Law and Buyer Parent’s covenants set forth in this Section 5.02(a). In the case of any Inactive Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee following the Closing, all references in this Agreement to the applicable Transfer Date shall be deemed to be references to 11:59 p.m., local time, on the date that such individual becomes a Transferred Employee. Each Business Employee who (x) accepts an offer of employment or (y) whose employment is expected to transfer to the Buyer Parties or one of its Affiliates on the Closing Date by operation of applicable Law or pursuant to the transfer of the Acquired Equity Interests to the Buyer Parties is referred to as a “Transferred Employee”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Business Employee who is not employed by an Acquired Company resides in a jurisdiction where the Transfer Regulations apply and such Business Employee’s employment does not transfer to the Buyer Parties or one of their Affiliates automatically in accordance with the Transfer Regulations, the Buyer Parties or one of their Affiliates shall, at Seller Parent’s request and in accordance with applicable Law, make a Conditional Offer or (subsequent to Closing) an offer of employment to such Business Employee consistent with this Section 5.02(a). The Parties further acknowledge and agree that except for certain of the Business Employees, the Transactions should not constitute a transfer of an economic entity which retains its identity within the meaning of the Transfer Regulations with respect to any employee of Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing, Buyer Parent shall provide, or cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) to provide, to each Transferred Employee, (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and target annual cash bonus opportunities that are, in each case, no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) other compensation and benefits (without taking into account amounts granted under voluntary profit sharing (intéressement) and mandatory profit sharing (participation) and excluding any equity or equity-based arrangements, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, post-termination or retiree health and welfare benefits, defined benefit pension plans, and change in control payments, retention payments, or other similar nonrecurring compensation) that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) eligibility for severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to Closing.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies), to cause any plans, policies, programs, work rules, agreements or arrangements established or maintained by the Buying Entities or any of their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) in which the Transferred Employees

are eligible to participate (and are not required by Law or Contract) to recognize each Transferred Employee’s service with Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) and any predecessor thereof (to the extent such service was recognized by Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) under a substantially similar Business Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, benefit accruals and early retirement subsidies (excluding, unless required by applicable Law, any benefit accruals under defined benefit or retiree health or welfare plans and any departure/dismissal indemnity or similar payments granted by Seller Parent or its Affiliates to any Transferred Employee); provided, however, that such service need not be recognized (i) to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits, (ii) for purposes of any frozen or discontinued Business Benefit Plan, (iii) for purposes of vesting of any incentive, equity or equity-based compensation, and (iv) with respect to any Transferred Employee transferred on a voluntary basis and in respect of whom Seller Parent or its relevant Subsidiary have terminated the employment contract on or prior to Closing and have paid or agreed to pay dismissal indemnities and related termination amounts in accordance with applicable Law, Collective Bargaining Agreement and employment contract.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.02(c), Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) to use reasonable endeavors to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under applicable Law or under any employee health or other welfare benefit plan maintained by the Buying Entities or any of their Subsidiaries in which Transferred Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under applicable Law or comparable Business Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) provide full credit for any co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses made or incurred by each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the applicable Transfer Date occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller Parent or Seller Parents’s applicable insurance carrier shall provide Buyer Parent or its Affiliate’s group health plan (in a mutually agreeable format) with a report or other documentation setting forth as of the Closing Date all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses made or incurred by each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the applicable Transfer Date occurs under the Business Benefit Plans (other than the Assumed Benefit Plans) that are employee welfare benefit plans.

(e) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall take all necessary actions, with respect to each restricted stock unit and performance-based restricted stock unit that is held by a Transferred Employee (a “Transferred Employee Equity Award”) such that (i) a pro rata portion of each such Transferred Employee Equity Award shall vest as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (such pro rata portion determined by Seller Parent based on (A) the number of calendar days elapsed during the period (1) beginning on the later of (x) the grant date of the Transferred Employee Equity Award and (y) the most recent vesting date applicable to the Transferred Employee Equity Award (if any) (such later date, the “Measurement Date”) and (2) ending on the Closing Date divided by (B) the total number of calendar days from the Measurement Date through the next vesting date of the applicable Transferred Employee Equity Award) and, in the case of performance-based restricted stock units, all performance-based goals shall be deemed achieved at a level that would result in the target number of such restricted stock units being earned and (ii) any remaining portion of each Transferred Employee Equity Award that does not vest at such time in accordance with clause (i) shall be forfeited (such forfeited portions, the “Forfeited Equity Awards”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Parent may, in its sole discretion, elect to provide the value of the pro-rated Transferred Employee Equity Awards to the Transferred Employees by equivalent cash payments in lieu of equity.

(f) Seller Parent and Buyer Parent intend that the Transactions should not constitute a layoff or separation, termination or severance of employment of any Business Employee prior to or upon the occurrence of the Closing, including for purposes of any Business Benefit Plan that provides for severance or similar benefits, and Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) to, comply with any requirements under applicable Law to ensure the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall bear all the liabilities relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries from and against, (i) any claims made by any Business Employee for any statutory or common law severance or other separation benefits, any contractual or other severance or separation benefits and any other legally mandated payment obligations (including any compensation payable during a mandatory termination notice period and any payments pursuant to a judgment of a court having jurisdiction over the Parties) and for any other claim or liability (whether related to compensation, benefits or otherwise), in each case, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with the failure of Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) (x) to offer employment to a Business Employee (including any Additionally Identified Business Employee) consistent with the terms of this Agreement, or (y) to continue the employment of any Business Employee (including any Additionally Identified Business Employee) in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) any claims relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee on or after the Closing, to the extent relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee on or after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries shall bear all the liabilities relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing Date the Acquired Companies) from and against, (i) any claims made by any Business Employee for any statutory or common law severance or other separation benefits, any contractual or other severance or separation benefits and any other legally mandated payment obligations (including any compensation payable during a mandatory termination notice period and any payments pursuant to a judgment of a court having jurisdiction over the Parties) and for any other claim or liability (whether related to compensation, benefits or otherwise), in each case, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with a Business Employee’s refusal of an offer of employment that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement or objection to the automatic transfer of employment to the Buyer Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, (ii) any claims relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee prior to the Closing, to the extent relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee prior to the Closing, (iii) any Liability (including for Taxes) relating to the Transferred Employee Equity Awards and the Forfeited Equity Awards, and (iv) the external recruitment and search costs incurred by Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) to fill any vacant position resulting from any Business Employee’s refusal of an offer of employment that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement or objection to the automatic transfer of employment to the Buyer Parties or any of their Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event Buyer Parent does not (x) hire at Closing any Business Employee who has accepted a Conditional Offer that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement or any Business Employee who transfers to Buyer Parent pursuant to the Transfer Regulations, or (y) make a Conditional Offer to any Business Employee whose employment does not automatically transfer to the Buyer Parties or one of their Affiliates in accordance with the Transfer Regulations, and Seller Parent terminates the employment, or provides notice of termination of employment, of any such Business Employees within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date (or such later date as may be required for Seller Parent to comply with its consultation obligations under applicable Law or under any Business Collective Bargaining Agreements), Buyer Parent shall make a payment to Seller Parent as soon as practicable after such date equal to the actual and documented severance costs (meaning notice pay (whether or not statutory), statutory severance, and severance under (i) any contractual obligations existing at the Put Date, (ii) other legal requirements or (iii) legal obligations which applied immediately prior to the Closing Date), that are incurred by Seller Parent as a direct result of such terminations of employment.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, (i) the Buyer Parties and their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall assume and bear, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries from and against, all liabilities (A) relating to the Assumed Benefit Plans, (B) relating to the employment or engagement of any individual, including any Business Employee, by the Buyer Parties or their Subsidiaries or (C) relating to any Transferred Employee on or after the Closing and (ii) Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies) shall retain and bear, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Parties and their Subsidiaries from and against, all liabilities (A) relating to the Retained Benefit Plans or (B) relating to the employment of any individual by any of Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries, other than any liabilities described in clause (i)(B) or (i)(C) of this Section 5.02(g).

(h) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, as of the Closing, the Buying Entities and their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall be responsible for all liabilities, salaries, bonuses, benefits and similar employer obligations under applicable Law, Contract and otherwise with respect to the employment and termination of any Transferred Employees by the Buying Entities or any of their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) occurring on or after the Closing, including health care continuation coverage with respect to plans established or maintained by the Buying Entities or their Subsidiaries after the Closing, and damages or settlements arising out of any claims with regard to the employment or termination of such Transferred Employees on or after the Closing, including claims for wrongful, unlawful or illegal termination and for failure to maintain a Transferred Employee’s equivalent position and for compliance with Law with respect to any such employment or termination on or after the Closing.

(i) Effective as of, or as soon as practicable following, the Closing, the Buyer Parties and their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall establish or designate defined benefit pension or termination benefit plans or arrangements, as applicable (collectively, the “Buyer Defined Benefit Plans”), for the benefit of the Business Employees who participate in or accrue benefits pursuant to any plan, program, agreement, or arrangement required by applicable Law or any national or industry-wide collective agreement or, with respect to Germany only, required by a Collective Bargaining Agreement with a works council, with respect to which a transfer of assets or liabilities is required, in each case, in France, Italy and Germany (collectively, the “Seller Defined Benefit Plans”, and the Business Employees who participate in or accrue benefits pursuant to the Seller Defined Benefit Plans, the “Transferred Defined Benefit Plan Participants”). Each Buyer Defined Benefit Plan shall provide that the accrued benefits of the Transferred Defined Benefit Plan Participants under such Buyer Defined Benefit Plan shall in no event be less than their accrued benefits under the corresponding Seller Defined Benefit Plan as of the Closing.

(j) The assumption by the Buyer Parties and their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) of liabilities with respect to or relating to the Transferred Defined Benefit Plan Participants under the applicable Seller Defined Benefit Plans, shall be subject to such consents, approvals and other requirements as may apply under applicable Law.

(k) Except as required by Law, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Defined Benefit Plan Participants shall cease to be participants in the Seller Defined Benefit Plans (and for the avoidance of doubt, shall have ceased benefit accrual prior to the Closing), and the Buyer Parties and the Buyer Defined Benefit Plans shall assume all liabilities under the corresponding Seller Defined Benefit Plans in respect of the Transferred Defined Benefit Plan Participants, and Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries and the corresponding Seller Defined Benefit Plans shall be relieved of all such liabilities under the Seller Defined Benefit Plans to the Transferred Defined Benefit Plan Participants.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.02, if applicable Law requires that any liabilities or assets with respect to any Seller Defined Benefit Plans transfer at a different time or in a different manner than the provisions of Section 5.02(i) through (k), then the provisions of Section 5.02(i) through (k), as applicable, shall be deemed modified so that any liabilities or assets, if any, with respect to such Seller Defined Benefit Plans shall instead transfer in accordance with applicable Law.

(m) Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, cooperate to take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required under applicable Law or any works council or other similar agreement to notify, consult with, or negotiate the effect, impact, terms or timing of the Transactions with respect to Business Employees with each works council, union, labor board, employee group, or Governmental Entity where so required under applicable Law or the terms of any Business Collective Bargaining Agreement. Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Laws, directives and regulations relating to the Business Employees.

(n) Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith to develop appropriate communications to Business Employees. Prior to making any material written or broad-based oral communications to the Business Employees pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller Parent shall provide Buyer Parent with a copy of the intended communication and Buyer Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication.

(o) Prior to and following the Closing, subject to applicable Law, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, cooperate with Buyer Parent and its Affiliates with respect to payroll administration, employee benefit plan administration and such other integration planning efforts related to the Business Employees as reasonably requested by Buyer Parent and its Affiliates, and to provide to Buyer Parent and its Affiliates, in a timely manner, information that Buyer Parent or its Affiliates may reasonably request prior to and following the Closing to establish payroll and the enrollment of Transferred Employees in Buyer Parent’s (or the applicable employing Affiliate) employee benefit plans.

SECTION 5.03. Business Internal Reorganization.

(a) Prior to the Closing, subject to Section 1.08, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, consummate the transactions as described in the Business Steps Plan (the “Business Internal Reorganization”); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Business Internal Reorganization shall (i) require Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries to cause all assets that are not Transferred Assets (and all employees who are not Business Employees) to be transferred to Seller Parent or one or more of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies), (ii) cause Seller Parent or one or more of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies) to assume all Retained Liabilities of the Acquired Companies, (iii) to the extent any Transferred Asset is transferred out of an Acquired Company, cause such Transferred Asset to be transferred to Buyer Parent or one or more of its Subsidiaries hereunder and (iv) not transfer to any Acquired Company any assets or any Liabilities or any employees, except as expressly set forth in the Business Steps Plan. The Business Internal Reorganization shall be documented in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer Parent, and Buyer Parent shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such documentation prior to any effectiveness thereof. Seller Parent shall be permitted to amend or supplement the Business Steps Plan only with the prior written consent of Buyer Parent (which consent shall not unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer Parent shall be permitted to request that Seller Parent expand the Business Internal Reorganization with a view to include transactions aiming to simplify the structure chart of the Acquired Companies prior to Closing, and Seller Parent shall consider such request in good faith; provided that Seller Parent shall not be obligated to implement such requests.

(b) In connection with the Business Internal Reorganization, without Buyer Parent’s prior written consent, Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause each Acquired Company and each of its other Subsidiaries, not to (i) declare any dividend or other distribution, payable in cash, stock, property or otherwise, with respect to any capital stock or other equity interests of the Acquired Companies, (ii) permit any Acquired Company to issue any Indebtedness or incur any Intercompany Account, or (iii) take any action that could have a recurring impact on the EBITDA of the Acquired Companies or the Business. In the event that in connection with the Business Internal Reorganization any Consents are sought with respect to Significant Contracts that are Transferred Assets, any Significant Contracts that are Transferred Assets are assigned, novated or otherwise transferred to the Acquired Companies or any amendment, modification or waiver of any Significant Contract that is a Transferred Asset is sought or obtained, any changes relating to pricing resulting therefrom will be taken into account in calculating the Price Change Impact, without limiting any other changes that may result from obtaining an Acceptable Consent with respect thereto (unless such Significant Contract is taken into account in Non-Consenting Contracts Impact) and Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, pay, offer or agree to pay any fees, costs, expenses or other sums of money in connection therewith other than bona fide non-recurring fees not to exceed the Consent Fee Cap.

(c) Seller Parent shall manage the Business to cause Meda Holding and Meda Pharma S.p.a. to each hold €5,000,000 of cash and cash equivalents as of the Closing and for all other Acquired Companies to hold no more than a de minimis amount of cash and cash equivalents as of the Closing.

(d) In the event that any employee of the Acquired Companies who is not a Business Employee is not properly transferred to Seller Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies) in accordance with the Business Internal Reorganization, (i) Buyer Parent shall have the right to terminate the employment of such employee, and (ii) Seller Parent shall assume and bear, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) from and against all Liabilities, costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) in connection with the employment of such employee and the termination thereof following the Closing.

SECTION 5.04. Preservation of Business Records; Exchange of Information.

(a) From and after the Closing Date until the earlier of (i) seven (7) years after the Closing and (ii) the end of the records retention period pursuant to each Party’s regular records retention policies (but, in any case, for at least such period as may be required by applicable Law), each Party shall use reasonable endeavors to maintain, and to cause its Representatives (in the case of the Buyer Parties, including the Acquired Companies) to maintain, the Business Records in its possession related to the period at or prior to the Closing in accordance with its regular records retention policies and procedures (but, in any case, for at least such period as may be required by applicable Law).

(b) Subject to applicable Law and any applicable Order, from and after the Closing, each Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable endeavors to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, subject to the Access Limitations, to the other Party (the “Requesting Party”) at the sole cost and expense of the Requesting Party, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, after written request therefor, any Business Records (or copies thereof) in the possession or under the control of the Disclosing Party or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent that such Business Records relate to the period at and prior to the Closing and solely in the

case the Disclosing Party is Buyer Parent or its Affiliates: (i) are reasonably required by the Requesting Party or its Subsidiaries to comply with applicable Law, Order, stock exchange rule or other applicable legal, judicial or governmental process (other than in connection with an Action between one Party or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the other Party or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand) or (ii) are reasonably required by the Requesting Party or its Subsidiaries to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than in connection with an Action between one Party or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the other Party or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand). The Disclosing Party shall only be obligated to provide such Business Records (or copies thereof) in the form, condition and format in which they then exist, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such Business Records, and nothing in this Section 5.04(b) shall expand the obligations of the Parties under Section 5.04(a).

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) neither Party shall be obligated to provide pursuant to Section 5.04(b) any portions of books, records or data not constituting Business Records, (ii) the Requesting Party shall reimburse the Disclosing Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Disclosing Party in providing or making available any Business Records pursuant to Section 5.04(b), and (iii) the Requesting Party shall sign a customary and reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to any such access.

(d) Upon Buyer Parent’s request, Seller Parent shall and shall procure that its Subsidiaries promptly deliver to Buyer Parent, at Seller Parent’s costs, originals (or, if not available, copies) of all applications, filings, registrations or grant certificates and renewal certificates with the relevant Intellectual Property offices regarding the Registered Intellectual Property.

SECTION 5.05. Public Announcements. The Parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions following execution of this Agreement (the “Announcement”) shall be in the form agreed to by the Parties. No Party shall issue any press release or make any other public statements with respect to the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as may be required by applicable Law, Order, stock exchange rule or other applicable legal, judicial or governmental process; provided that the Party proposing to issue any press release or to make any other public statement in compliance with any such disclosure obligations shall use reasonable endeavors to consult in good faith with the other Party before doing so and consider in good faith any comments made by such other Party with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.05 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by any of the Parties which is consistent with the Announcement and does not contain any information relating to the Business, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Parties and their Affiliates may disclose the terms of this Agreement and the Transactions to its financing sources and professional advisors, including its lenders, rating agencies and providers of potential financing, in connection with fundraising, marketing, informational, transactional and or reporting activities.

SECTION 5.06. Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes and VAT.

(i) Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, all amounts payable under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents are exclusive of VAT or Transfer Taxes. Any Transfer Taxes or VAT incurred in connection with the Transactions (other than the Business Internal Reorganization and other than French Reorganization Transfer Taxes and French RE

Transfer Taxes) shall be borne by Buyer Parent. Any Transfer Taxes or VAT incurred in connection with the Business Internal Reorganization and the French Reorganization Transfer Taxes and French RE Transfer Taxes shall be borne by Seller Parent. Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall reasonably cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns relating to such Transfer Taxes or VAT, and the Party required under applicable Law to remit such Taxes shall timely remit all such Taxes. Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall reasonably cooperate to minimize or eliminate the incurrence of such Taxes in connection with the Transactions.

(ii) If any action by a Party (the “Supplier”) pursuant to this Agreement or, except as expressly provided to the contrary, the other Transaction Documents, constitutes the making of a supply to another Party (the “Recipient”) for VAT purposes, and the Supplier (or a member of its group) is required to account to the relevant Tax Authority for VAT in respect of that supply, where the Supplier (or a member of its group) is not the person who, in accordance with 5.06(a)(i) above, is to bear the VAT, the Recipient shall: (i) pay to the Supplier, in addition to any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement by the Recipient, a sum equal to the amount of the VAT chargeable on that supply against delivery to the Recipient of a valid VAT invoice issued in accordance with the Laws of the applicable jurisdiction or (ii) if the reverse charge procedure applies, account for such VAT due in accordance with the Laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

(iii) Where under the terms of this Agreement one Party or any member of its group is required to indemnify or reimburse another person in respect of any costs, charges or expenses (including out-of-pocket costs or expenses), the reimbursing or indemnifying Party (or the applicable member of its group) shall reimburse or indemnify that other person for the full amount of the cost or expense (including any amounts in respect of VAT imposed on that amount), except to the extent that the reimbursed or indemnified person reasonably determines that it, or a member of the same group as it for VAT purposes, is entitled to credit for or repayment of such VAT from any relevant Tax Authority.

(b) Tax Elections.

(i) Seller Parent shall have the right to direct Buyer Parent to cause an election under Section 338(g) of the Code to be made with respect to the acquisition of any or all of the Acquired Companies pursuant to this agreement. Buyer ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to timely make any such election upon such direction and not to make any such election in the absence of such direction. The Parties will cooperate to make any such election once such direction is provided.

(ii) Seller Parent shall timely elect or cause an election to be made under Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations to close the taxable year of each Acquired Company for which such an election is available, as of the Closing Date. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to effect the elections contemplated in the previous sentence, including by sharing any information necessary to make the elections.

(c) Tax Treatment of Conditional Amounts. The Parties agree that the obligations of Buyer Parent under the Contingent Additional Amount Agreement should be treated for all relevant tax purposes (i) as debt, and not as an equity interest in Buyer Parent or its Affiliates or as payment in consideration for services and (ii) as an adjustment to the Final Closing Cash Consideration, in each case unless contrary treatment is required by a “determination,” as defined in Section 1313 of the Code (or similar provision of applicable Law).

(d) The Parties further agree not to take any position or action inconsistent with the previous sentence upon examination of any tax return, in any amended return or refund claim, in any audit, proceeding or otherwise.

(e) Post-Closing Actions. Following the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall not (and shall not cause or permit its Affiliates to), (i) make or change any Tax election with respect to any Acquired Company or the Transferred Assets that is effective for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including an election under Section 338(g) of the Code, except as expressly provided in Section 5.06(b)(i)), (ii) amend any material Tax Return of any Acquired Company or the Transferred Assets relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iii) extend or waive any period for the assessment of any Tax of any Acquired Company or the Transferred Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, without Seller Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) Cooperation. Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate in connection with the filing of any Tax Return or the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, in each case, with respect to any Acquired Company or the Transferred Assets.

(g) Tax Returns. Seller Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared at its own cost and expense, all Tax Returns of any Acquired Company or the Transferred Assets relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including Straddle Periods) that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (the “Seller Prepared Tax Returns”). Buyer Parent shall be responsible to prepare and file all Tax Returns that are required to be filed after the Closing Date other than Seller Prepared Tax Returns. All Seller Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with prior practice, except as required by applicable Law. Seller Parent shall provide Buyer Parent with a draft of any Seller Prepared Tax Returns at least forty (40) Business Days (or, in the case of non-income Tax Returns, as soon as commercially practicable) prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (including any valid extensions) (such date, a “Seller Return Due Date”). If Seller Parent does not provide Buyer Parent with a draft of any Seller Prepared Tax Returns at least ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of non-income Tax Returns, five (5) Business Days) prior to the Seller Return Due Date, then Buyer Parent may file such Seller Prepared Tax Returns without Seller Parent’s review or comments. Seller Parent shall consider in good faith any comments to Seller Prepared Tax Returns made by Buyer Parent provided in writing at least ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of non-income Tax Returns, as soon as commercially practicable) prior to the applicable Seller Return Due Date. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to promptly resolve any issues raised in such comments. Where any changes are made by Seller Parent to any Seller Prepared Tax Returns in response to such comments, Seller Parent shall provide a revised draft of the Seller Prepared Tax Return to buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Seller Return Due Date. If Buyer Parent and Seller Parent are not able to resolve a dispute that is not a Material Tax Dispute, Buyer Parent shall file such Seller Prepared Tax Return as prepared by Seller Parent and taking into account any agreed upon comments unless prohibited by applicable Law, as reasonably determined in good faith by Buyer Parent. If Buyer Parent and Seller Parent are not able to resolve a disputed item where the disputed amount of Taxes is over €1,000,000 (a “Material Tax Dispute”) within five (5) days after the delivery of such comments by Buyer Parent to Seller Parent, then Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall submit the Material Tax Dispute to the Independent Adjustment Expert for its determination in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 1.05, applied mutatis mutandis (including the provisions set forth therein for the sharing of costs). If any Material Tax Dispute is unresolved prior to the due date for filing (as may be extended) for any such Seller Prepared Tax Return, such Seller Prepared Tax Return will be filed as prepared by Seller Parent, subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Independent Adjustment Expert unless prohibited by applicable Law, as reasonably determined in good faith by Buyer Parent. If the Tax Indemnity Account has been reduced to zero and a Seller Prepared Tax Return that is not yet filed would give rise to an indemnity Claim under Section 8.02 in respect of Excluded Taxes, Seller Parent shall pay Buyer Parent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Seller Return Due Date, the amount of such indemnity Claim.

(h) Tax Proceedings. Buyer Parent shall give prompt written notice to Seller Parent if Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) receives any written notice of a Tax Proceeding relating to Taxes for which Seller Parent is reasonably expected to be liable under this Agreement (a “Specified Tax Contest”); provided, however, that the failure of Buyer Parent to give such notice shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller Parent or its Affiliates with respect to this Agreement except if and to the extent that the Seller Parent or its Affiliates are actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Seller Parent shall, at its sole discretion, have the option of controlling and defending the conduct of any Specified Tax Contest with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants) of its choice at its own cost and expense; provided that, if Seller Parent so elects to control such Specified Tax Contest, (i) Seller Parent shall keep Buyer Parent reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Specified Tax Contest, (ii) Buyer Parent shall be entitled to participate, with counsel of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, in such Specified Tax Contest, and (iii) Seller Parent shall not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision or other similar determination or finding with respect to any such Specified Tax Contest that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) without the prior written consent of Buyer Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If Seller Parent elects for Buyer Parent to control and defend such Specified Tax Contest, (A) Buyer Parent shall keep Seller Parent reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Specified Tax Contest and (B) Buyer Parent shall not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision or other similar determination or finding with respect to any such Specified Tax Contest that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Seller Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 5.06(g) shall control with respect to any Specified Tax Contest.

(i) Refunds. Buyer Parent shall pay to Seller Parent any refund (or credit in lieu of a refund) of (i) Taxes paid by Seller Parent or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) Excluded Taxes, in each case, other than refunds or credits to the extent such refunds or credits were expressly included in the calculation of Closing Working Capital or Indebtedness, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such refund or credit).

(j) Tax Classification. No Buyer Party (nor an Affiliate of Buyer Parent that is acquiring one of the Acquired Companies pursuant to an assignment pursuant to Section 9.11) shall take any action prior to the Closing that would result in it not being classified as a corporation for United States federal tax purposes on or prior to the Closing Date.

(k) Tax Indemnity Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all amounts otherwise payable in respect of Excluded Taxes by Seller Parent under Section 8.02 shall be satisfied first by reducing the amount of the Tax Indemnity Account, and Seller Parent shall have no obligation to make any such payment until the balance of the Tax Indemnity Account has been reduced to zero. On November 30, 2025, Buyer Parent shall pay to Seller Parent an amount equal to the positive balance, if any, in the Tax Indemnity Account (after which time, for the avoidance of doubt, the balance of the Tax Indemnity Account shall be zero and Seller Parent shall be responsible for all payment obligations in respect of Excluded Taxes under Section 8.02). Prior to each reduction of the amount of the Tax Indemnity Account, Buyer Parent shall provide Seller Parent with the notification described in Section 8.04(a), together with a notification of the amount that will remain in the Tax Indemnity Account following such reduction. In addition, Buyer Parent shall reasonably promptly provide Seller Parent with the current balance of the Tax Indemnity Account upon the request of Seller Parent from time to time.

SECTION 5.07. Intellectual Property Recordations. Prior to the Closing and up to a period of three (3) months following Closing, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, file and record with each applicable Governmental Entity, any and all unrecorded previous change of ownership in respect of Patents identified in Section 5.07(i) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter. Failure of Seller Parent to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not constitute a failure to satisfy a condition to Closing under Article VI, provided Seller Parent shall deliver to Buyer Parent duly executed powers of attorney enabling Buyer Parent to make any filings concerning such unrecorded previous change of ownership with any applicable Governmental Entities that are necessary to correct the chain of title for all such Patents.

SECTION 5.08. [Reserved.]

SECTION 5.09. Intellectual Property Matters.

(a) Effective upon (and subject to the occurrence of) the Closing, Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby grants to Buyer Parent, the Buying Entities and the Acquired Companies a non-exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Seller Retained Licensed Intellectual Property solely in, or in connection with, the operation of the Business (including producing, selling, marketing, using, importing and otherwise providing any products or services of the Business) in a manner materially consistent with the use of such Seller Retained Licensed Intellectual Property by Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and any natural extensions relating to the Business. This license shall be exclusive with respect to any products or services in any territory worldwide related to any Health Care Approvals, in any territory, within the Transferred Assets. “Seller Retained Licensed Intellectual Property” means any Intellectual Property (other than Trademarks) owned by Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies) as of the Closing, other than Transferred Intellectual Property, that is, or was, used or practiced (or held for use or practice) in, or in connection with, the Business on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Effective upon (and subject to the occurrence of) the Closing:

(iv) Seller Parent or the applicable Subsidiary shall be solely responsible for the Commercialization of the Product in the relevant countries during the term of the granted distribution rights; and

(v) all other material terms of such distribution rights shall be agreed by the Parties in writing prior to Closing.

SECTION 5.10. Trademark Matters.

Each of Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries acknowledges that it has no rights or interests, and is not acquiring any rights or interests, directly or indirectly, through the Acquired Companies or otherwise, to use the Retained Names, except as expressly provided for in this Section 5.10. Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly provided for in this Section 5.10, Buyer Parent shall not use any Trademark, Domain Name or trade name containing, incorporating, confusingly similar to or dilutive of, or that is a translation or transliteration of, part or all of any Retained Name in any jurisdiction in the world.

Seller Parent further acknowledges that, as between the Parties, Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be free to file and obtain protection for any Intellectual Property in territories not covered by the Registered Intellectual Property and to exploit such Transferred Intellectual Property on a worldwide basis (except, for the sake of clarity, for the Retained Business).

(i) Effective upon (and subject to the occurrence of) the Closing, the Buyer Parties, on behalf of themselves and the Acquired Companies, grant to Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, sublicenseable (subject to Section 5.10(c)(ii)), fully paid, perpetual license to use Trademarks included in the Transferred Intellectual Property that were used for the Spring Territory Rx Products and Seller Non-Spring Territory Products prior to Closing (“Licensed Trademarks”) solely in connection with activity licensed under Section 5.09(b), and solely for use in substantially the same manner in which such Licensed Trademarks were used prior to Closing and in connection with products of at least the same or better quality as prior to Closing. The foregoing license grant is and shall be subject to the Parties’ agreement to and execution of a standalone trademark license agreement including customary terms and conditions to be reasonably agreed in good faith by the Parties prior to the Closing, including customary terms for Seller Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ adherence to applicable brand guidelines and compliance with applicable Law. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing customary terms and conditions, upon reasonable request, Seller Parent shall provide to Buyer Parent samples of any materials used with the Licensed Trademarks, and shall, reasonably promptly after receiving written notice, cease any activity in connection with the Licensed Trademarks that Buyer Parent determines to be in breach of these terms, or to cause harm to the Licensed Trademarks or Buyer Parent’s (or its Subsidiaries’) reputation.

(ii) Any sublicensing pursuant to Section 5.10(c)(i) shall be solely to Seller Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ manufacturers, suppliers, packers, distributors, and other agents and solely to perform services for Seller Parent; provided, that Seller Parent shall be responsible for any breach of the terms and conditions hereof (including of any trademark license agreement entered in connection herewith) by any such sublicensees.

(iii) Any sublicensing pursuant to Section 5.10(d) shall be solely to Buyer Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ manufacturers, suppliers, packers, distributors and other agents, and solely to perform services for Buyer Parent; provided that Buyer Parent shall be responsible for any breach of the terms and conditions hereof (including of any trademark license agreement entered in connection herewith) by any such sublicensees.

(e) No later than the end of the Retained Names Materials Transition Period, the Buyer Parties shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) to, destroy and cease use of any remaining Retained Names Materials or revise any remaining Retained Names Materials to have deleted all references to the Retained Names. The Buyer shall use reasonable endeavors to cease and discontinue its use of the Retained Names on the Retained Names Inventory and the Health Care Approvals as soon as practicable after Closing and, in any event, Buyer Parties shall cease and discontinue its use of the Retained Names on the Retained Names Inventory and the Health Care Approvals by the end of the Retained Names Inventory Transition Period.

Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to maintain or renew any Intellectual Property rights in the Retained Names after the Retained Names Inventory Transition Period.

SECTION 5.11. Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Confidentiality. The Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate effective as of the Closing and, from and after the Closing for a period of five (5) years (or, with respect to restrictions on use, three (3) years) after the Closing (with respect to information in the possession of the applicable Party or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing) or after receipt of such information (with respect to information delivered after the Closing pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement), each of Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain in confidence any information related to the Business (in the case of Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries) or the Retained Business (in the case of Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries), and to use such information only to the extent necessary to perform their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that such confidentiality obligations shall not apply to information that (a) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Seller Parent or Buyer Parent, as applicable, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality obligation among any of the Parties or their Affiliates, (b) becomes available to Seller Parent or Buyer Parent, as applicable, or its Representatives after the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party or its Representatives, provided that such source is believed by Seller Parent or Buyer Parent, as applicable,

(i) to the extent consented to by Buyer Parent (in the case of disclosure by Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) or Seller Parent (in the case of disclosure by Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries);

(ii) to its Representatives who need to know such information for purposes of the Transactions; provided that (A) such Representatives agree to maintain such information in confidence and (B) Seller Parent or Buyer Parent, as applicable, shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Section 5.11(a)(ii) by its Representatives; and

(iii) to the extent required by applicable Law, Order, stock exchange rule or other applicable legal, judicial or governmental process (including by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process); provided that Seller Parent, Buyer Parent or their Representative, as applicable, will (A) to the extent legally permitted, provide the other Party with prompt written notice thereof prior to making such disclosure so that such other Party may seek (at such other Party’s sole expense) an appropriate protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information, (B) use reasonable endeavors to consult and cooperate (at the other Party’s sole expense) with such other Party to the extent legally permitted with respect to such other Party seeking such a protective order, assurance or other remedy or taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such requirement and (C) to the extent legally permitted, not oppose any action by the other Party to obtain such a protective order, assurance or other remedy. If a protective order, other assurance or other remedy is not obtained and the terms of this Section 5.11(a)(iii) are not waived by the Party entitled to enforce such terms and subject to the disclosing Party’s compliance with the preceding sentence, the disclosing Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, (A) may disclose such information only to the extent legally required, based on the advice of legal counsel of the disclosing Party or such Representative, (B) will exercise reasonable endeavors (at the other Party’s sole expense) to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information that is being disclosed and (C) will, to the extent legally permitted, give advance notice to the other Party of the information to be disclosed, or the proposed disclosure itself (as applicable), as far in advance as is reasonably practicable.

(b) Non-Competition of Seller Parent and Selling Entities. Excluding the activities expressly licensed under Section 5.09(b) and Section 5.10(c) and the distribution rights set forth in Section 5.09(d), during the Restricted Period, Seller Parent hereby covenants that it shall not, and shall cause any other Person controlled by it not to, directly or indirectly, except to the extent required to satisfy their obligations under the Transaction Agreements, be involved in, engage or participate in, own, manage or operate (including as an agent of, or holder of an interest in) any Person, business or product line that engages in the research, development, manufacturing or Commercialization of any Similar Products (in any country or jurisdiction within the Spring Territory) or any product having the same formulation or active ingredient as the products Commercialized by Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries under the Trademark “Betadine” (in any country in which the Betadine License Agreement grants rights), directly or indirectly through its dealers, distributors, agents or Representatives (the “Restricted Activity”). Excluding the

activities expressly licensed under Section 5.09(b) and Section 5.10(c) and the distribution rights set forth in Section 5.09(d), during the Restricted Period, Seller Parent shall equally refrain from consulting with, advising or knowingly assisting in any way, whether or not for consideration, any Person, business or product line that competes with the Business (including through the research, development, manufacturing and Commercialization of any Similar Products), including advertising or otherwise endorsing the products or services of, soliciting customers or otherwise serving as an intermediary for, or loaning money or rendering any other form of assistance to, any such Person, business or product line, in any country in which the Business is currently operated or doing business. To the extent Seller Parent or any Subsidiary is engaged in any of the following, immediately upon Closing (or if required by any Transaction Agreement or any other Transaction Document or expressly permitted by the licenses granted pursuant to Section 5.09(b) or Section 5.10(c), immediately upon the expiration or termination of such requirement or license), Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries shall terminate all research, development, manufacturing and Commercialization of Similar Products in any country in the Spring Territory, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to cease any existing activity at Closing unless such activity uses or relies upon any Transferred Intellectual Property or any Health Care Approvals, or is Commercialized under a registered Trademark or other brand (other than the brands set forth on Section 5.11(a)(iv) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter, without any ability to create line extensions for such brands after the Put Date). For such brands in that list generating de minimis revenues, Buyer Parent may elect either to have Seller Parent or the applicable Subsidiary withdraw or terminate the applicable Health Care Approvals and Intellectual Property, or transfer such Health Care Approvals and Intellectual Property to Buyer Parent.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any of Seller Parent or any other Person controlled by it at any time from:

(i) acquiring, solely as a passive investment and through market purchases, less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities of any Person that has voting securities traded on a national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter market so long as Seller Parent or any other Person controlled by it, as the case may be, is not part of any control group of such entity;

(ii) directly or indirectly acquiring (whether by equity purchase, asset purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) any Person (or any interest in any Person) that derives less than 15% of its revenue in the last completed fiscal year of such Person from the Restricted Activity; provided, that Seller Parent establishes information walls reasonably designed to ensure that any information relating to the Business that is or becomes in the possession of Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries is not made available and is protected from access by the acquired business, and any employees that have performed a material amount of time in service for the Business do not perform services for the portion of the acquired business that so competes; provided, further, that the scope of such competing business is not materially expanded; or

(iii) subject to the third sentence of this Section 5.11(b), owning, operating and engaging in the Retained Business as conducted as of the Put Date and as of the Closing Date.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Business Key Customers, Business Key Suppliers and Employees. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller Parent hereby covenants that it shall not, and shall cause any other Person controlled by it not to, whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person, directly or indirectly, solicit, endeavor to entice away from Buyer Parent or its Subsidiaries, hire or engage as a

service provider or otherwise directly or indirectly interfere with the relationship of Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with any (i) Business Employee, unless such Business Employee’s employment has been terminated (including by such employee) by Buyer Parent or its Subsidiaries subsequent to the Closing and who has not been employed or engaged by Buyer Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies post-Closing) for a period of at least six (6) months (or twelve (12) months if such termination is by the Business Employee) prior to the date of such hire or the commencement of such solicitation or (ii) any Business Key Customer or Business Key Supplier; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.11(c) shall prohibit Seller Parent from engaging in general solicitations to the public or general advertising not directly targeted to such employees (including through agencies); provided further, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in this Section 5.11(c) apply to any individual enumerated in clauses (i) through (ii) above responding to any such general solicitation or general advertising who Seller Parent or its Subsidiary learns of after such general solicitation is covered by this Section 5.11(c).

(d) Seller Parent acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 5.11 are (A) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, (B) essential to protect the value of the business and assets of the Business, including the Transferred Assets and the Acquired Companies and (C) being provided by Seller Parent in consideration for the amounts paid or to be issued by Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries to Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries have obtained knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Business and to the substantial detriment of the Business.

SECTION 5.12. Termination of Intercompany Arrangements and Affiliate Arrangements. Between the Signing Date and the Closing, except (a) for the Intercompany Accounts and Affiliate Arrangements set forth on Section 5.12(a) of the Seller Parent Disclosure Letter, (b) the other Transaction Documents and (c) as Buyer Parent and Seller Parent may mutually agree in writing prior to the Closing, Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries shall, effective as of the Closing, (i) eliminate by payment, settlement, netting, capitalization, set off, cancellation, forgiving, release or otherwise any obligations or Liabilities under the Intercompany Accounts and (ii) terminate all Affiliate Arrangements in their entirety without further force or effect, in each case, such that none of the Buying Entities or any Acquired Company, on the one hand, and Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies), on the other hand, have any further obligations or Liabilities to one another in respect of such Intercompany Accounts or Affiliate Arrangements as of and immediately following the Closing; provided that Seller Parent shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, in connection with such terminations, without Buyer Parent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any dividend or distribution from the Acquired Companies. Buyer Parent shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all documentation to effect such terminations and Seller Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by Buyer Parent or its Representatives. If any Affiliate Arrangement or Intercompany Account required to be terminated pursuant to this Section 5.12 has not been terminated as of the Closing, then, at the request of Buyer Parent, Seller Parent shall, or shall cause any Affiliate thereof, to terminate such Affiliate Arrangement or Intercompany Account after the Closing in accordance with this Section 5.12, mutatis mutandis. In no event shall the Assumed Liabilities include any of the Liabilities required to be terminated pursuant to this Section 5.12.

SECTION 5.13. Resignations. Between the Signing Date and the Closing, Seller Parent shall procure that resignation letters or other removals of any members of the board of directors and of the board of statutory auditors (if any) of each Acquired Company and officers of each Acquired Company which have been requested in writing by Buyer Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (for the Italian Acquired Companies, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit VII hereto), are delivered to Buyer Parent at the Closing, such resignation letters or other removals to be effective concurrently with the Closing.

SECTION 5.14. Insurance. The Buying Entities and the Acquired Companies shall be entitled to the benefit and receipt of, and Seller Parent agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates to, use their respective best endeavors to pursue, submit, and remit to the Buying Entities and the Acquired Companies, any claims or recoveries under any occurrence-based insurance policy (other than any self-insurance or captive insurance program maintained by Seller Parent and its Affiliates) with respect to any Assumed Real Property Liability, Assumed Environmental Liability, or Product Liability covering periods through the Closing provided by third party insurers and maintained by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (the “Business Insurance Policies”) with respect to any events, occurrences, omissions, matters, losses, injuries or illnesses that occurred prior to the Closing (and in each case, whether known or unknown on or prior to the Closing) that remain insured losses thereunder, subject, in each case, to the deductibles, limits and terms of such policies. Seller Parent shall use reasonable endeavors to provide advance notice to Buyer Parent if Seller Parent intends to voluntarily relinquish, terminate, buy out or reduce the benefits of the applicable Business Insurance Policies. Seller Parent shall retain all rights to control the applicable Business Insurance Policies, including the right to settle or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of the applicable Business Insurance Policies or claims made thereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to claims made under the Business Insurance Policies that otherwise primarily relate to any Assumed Real Property Liability, Assumed Environmental Liability, or Product Liability, with respect to which the Buying Entities and the Acquired Companies shall have the right of control. The Buyer Parties and the Acquired Companies shall provide the Seller Parties with any updates or other information reasonably requested by the Seller Parties and within their possession (subject to the Access Limitations) with respect to any such claim and shall obtain the written consent of Seller Parent prior to entering into any settlement of any such claim with the applicable insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller Parent shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, reasonable endeavors at all times to cooperate with reasonable requests (including requests for information) by the Buyer Parties and the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates relating to the subject matter of this Section 5.14.

SECTION 5.15. Wrong Pockets.

(a) Subject to Section 1.08, if at any time after the Closing Date either Buyer Parent or Seller Parent becomes aware that any of the Transferred Assets has not been transferred to Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or that any of the Excluded Assets has been transferred to Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or is owned by any Acquired Company (after giving effect to the Business Internal Reorganization), it shall promptly notify the other Party and Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, use best endeavors to ensure that such property is transferred without delay, with any necessary prior third party consent or approval, to Buyer Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (in the case of any such Transferred Asset) or Seller Parent or one of its Affiliates (in the case of any such Excluded Asset).

(b) In the event that, on or after the Closing Date, Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall receive any payments, monies, checks, notes, drafts, instruments, properties or other funds due to the other Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, then it shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of the other and promptly forward such payments, monies, checks, notes, drafts, instruments, properties or other funds to such other Party.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree there is no right of set-off regarding any transfers or payments pursuant to this Section 5.15 and a Party may not withhold assets or funds required to be transferred or forwarded pursuant to this Section 5.15 in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under any of the Transaction Documents.

(d) Prior to any such transfer of assets pursuant to Section 5.15(a), each Party receiving or possessing such asset shall hold such asset in trust for the benefit, insofar as reasonably practicable and legally permissible, of the Party to whom such asset should rightfully belong (and at such Party’s sole expense) pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that any Excluded Assets subject to transfer pursuant to Section 5.15(a) after the Closing Date from Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries were included in the Closing Transferred Assets (and counted towards Closing Working Capital), Seller Parent shall repay to Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable) the value of such Excluded Assets incorrectly included in the Closing Transferred Assets (using the same euro value of such Excluded Assets). To the extent that any Transferred Assets subject to transfer pursuant to this Section 5.15 after the Closing Date from Seller Parent to Buyer Parent (or any of its Subsidiaries) are of the same nature and comply with the definition of the Closing Transferred Assets (and therefore they should have been counted towards Closing Working Capital), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the euro value of such Transferred Assets and Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable) shall repay to Seller Parent (on behalf of the applicable Equity Selling Entity or Asset Selling Entity) the value of such Transferred Assets incorrectly omitted from the Closing Transferred Assets.

(e) Solely for Intellectual Property assets or licenses of Intellectual Property that qualify for transfer under Section 5.15(a), until such time as Buyer Parent, Seller Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, transfers such Intellectual Property asset or license of Intellectual Property pursuant to Section 5.15(a), such entity hereby grants to the other Party and its Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such asset or license, effective as of Closing.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer or assumption of any assets or liabilities, as applicable, under this Section 5.15 shall be effected without additional consideration payable by any Party, except as specifically required otherwise by this Section 5.15. The obligations of the Parties under this Section 5.15 shall survive until the latest date permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 5.16. Financing.

(a) Buyer Parent shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, reasonable endeavors to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the “market flex” provisions) set forth in the Financing Commitments, including using reasonable endeavors to (i) maintain in effect and comply in all material respects with the Financing Commitments, (ii) promptly negotiate and enter into any applicable definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the market flex provisions) set forth in the Financing Commitments (or on terms not materially less favorable to Buyer Parent than the terms and conditions (including “market flex” provisions) set forth in the Financing Commitments with respect to the conditionality of the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date), (iii) satisfy (and cause its Affiliates to satisfy) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer Parent and its Affiliates in the Financing Commitments and the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including using Buyer Parent’s (and causing its Affiliates to use) reasonable endeavors (which shall include taking all actions reasonably within its control, including borrowing, notwithstanding the fact that “market flex” provisions under the Financing Commitments are exercised) to cause the Debt Financing Sources and the other Persons committing to fund the Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing, and (v) comply with Buyer Parent’s covenants and other obligations

under, and ensure the accuracy of the warranties of Buyer Parent or its Affiliates set forth in the Financing Commitments and the definitive agreements relating to the Financing where a failure to so comply would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or materially make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date. Buyer Parent shall not prior to the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, agree to or permit any termination of or amendment or modification to be made to, or grant any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing (provided, for the avoidance of doubt the existence or exercise of any “market flex” provisions contained in any fee letter in connection with the Debt Financing Commitments shall not constitute an amendment, supplement or modification of the Debt Financing Commitments) if such termination, amendment, modification or waiver would (A) (1) reduce (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing or (2) reduce the amount of the Debt Financing unless, in the case of each of clauses (A)(1) and (A)(2), after giving effect thereto, the warranties set forth in Section 3.07(a) shall be true and correct (taking into account any corresponding increase in the Equity Financing Commitment), or (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Financing Commitments in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make materially less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date. Buyer Parent shall promptly deliver to Seller Parent copies of any amendment, modification or waiver to or under any Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing of the Transaction. Buyer Parent will fully pay, or cause to be paid, all commitment and other fees under or arising pursuant to the Debt Financing Commitment as and when they become due.

(b) Buyer Parent shall give Seller Parent prompt written notice of (i) any actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment or definitive documents related to the Financing of which Buyer Parent becomes aware, (ii) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any (A) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Commitments or any definitive document related to the Financing or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Financing and (iii) the occurrence of an event or development, which in the case of each of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or materially make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable (excluding any fee arrangements), or if Buyer Parent becomes aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make any portion of the Debt Financing unavailable to fund the Transactions on the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall (i) promptly notify Seller Parent in writing and (ii) use reasonable endeavors to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions on terms and conditions (including market flex provisions) not materially less favorable to Buyer Parent (or its Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment with respect to the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (but not later than the date Buyer Parent is required to consummate the Closing in accordance with this Agreement); provided that the failure to obtain alternative financing shall not relieve Buyer Parent of any obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.16, Seller Parent acknowledges that Buyer Parent or its Affiliates is entitled to, at its discretion, replace all or part of the Debt Financing Commitments, and negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions on terms and conditions (including market flex provisions) not materially less favorable to Buyer Parent or its Affiliates than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment with respect to the conditionality of the funding of the financing on the Closing Date. Buyer Parent shall

deliver to Seller Parent complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Debt Financing. For purposes of this Agreement, (w) references to the “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.16, (x) references to the “Debt Financing Commitment” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.16, (y) references to the “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.16 and (z) references to the “Debt Financing Sources” shall include any alternative sources of the Debt Financing as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 5.16. Buyer Parent agrees and acknowledge that obtaining the Debt Financing or any alternative financing is not a condition to the Closing.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable endeavors to provide, and shall use reasonable endeavors to cause its and their respective Representatives to use reasonable endeavors to provide, in each case, at Buyer Parent’s sole cost and expense, such reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Buyer Parent or its Affiliates, including (i) participation in a reasonable number of lender meetings and due diligence sessions in each case upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreeable dates, times and locations, (ii) reasonably assisting the Buyer Parties, its Affiliates and the Debt Financing Sources in the preparation of (A) one customary offering memorandum or information memorandum for any portion of the Debt Financing and (B) materials for rating agency presentations, in each case by providing such other pertinent information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer Parent or its Affiliates in writing and to the extent such information is reasonably available to Seller Parent or the Acquired Companies, and (iii) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Buyer Parent, its Affiliates and the Debt Financing Sources for any portion of the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 5.16(c) shall require any such cooperation or assistance to the extent that it could result in Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries being required to (1) pledge any assets as collateral, (2) agree to pay any commitment or other similar fee, bear any cost or expense, incur any other liability or give any indemnities to any third party or otherwise commit to take any similar action in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing, (3) take any actions to the extent such actions would, in Seller Parent’s reasonable judgment, (A) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise interfere with the prompt and timely discharge by any employee of the Acquired Companies of their normal duties, (B) subject Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any director, manager, officer or employee of the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates to any actual or potential personal liability, (C) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, any organizational or similar documents of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, any applicable Law or Order or any Contract to which Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound, (D) require Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to change any fiscal period or (E) cause (x) any warranty set forth in Article II of this Agreement to be inaccurate or breached, (y) any closing condition set forth in Article VI of this Agreement to fail to be satisfied or (z) any other breach of this Agreement or other Contract to which an Acquired Company is a party, (4) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, (5) commit to take any action under any certificate, document or instrument that is not contingent upon the Closing, (6) provide access to or disclose information that Seller Parent reasonably determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or legal profession privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (7) cause Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any director, manager or equivalent of the Acquired Companies to pass resolutions to approve the Debt Financing or authorize the creation of any agreements, documents or actions in connection therewith, in each case, that are not contingent on the Closing or would be effective prior to the Closing.

(d) Buyer Parent or its Affiliates shall be responsible for all fees and expenses related to the Financing contemplated hereby. Accordingly, Buyer Parent shall promptly reimburse Seller Parent for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and other legal fees) reasonably incurred by Seller Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with their cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.16 or otherwise in connection with the Financing. Buyer Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Seller Parent and its Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by Seller Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Seller Parent or its Representatives shall have any liability or obligation under any loan agreement or any related document or any other agreement or document related to the Financing or any alternative financing.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of the condition set forth in Section 6.02(b), Seller Parent’s obligations under this Section 5.16 shall be deemed to have been satisfied unless the Debt Financing is not obtained or available to be obtained if the Closing were to occur as a result of Seller Parent’s intentional and material breach of this Section 5.16 or Fraud or willful misconduct. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 5.16 shall not create any independent conditions to the Closing.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 5.16 shall provide the only covenants or obligations applicable to Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Debt Financing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer Parent or any Subsidiary be required to seek or obtain any equity commitment or equity financing in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than from the Persons party to and in the amounts set forth in the Equity Financing Commitment as in effect as of the Put Date.

SECTION 5.17. Replacement of Seller Guaranties. On or prior to the Closing, Buyer Parent shall use reasonable endeavors (and Seller Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer Parent or its Affiliates) so as to cause the replacement, effective as of the Closing, of any guaranties, letters of credit and other sureties provided by Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Acquired Companies in respect of the Acquired Companies or any Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability (the “Credit Support Items”) and identified to Buyer Parent by Seller Parent at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Closing on a like-for-like basis; provided that, if any Credit Support Item is not replaced effective as of the Closing, Buyer Parent shall use reasonable endeavors to replace such Credit Support Item as soon as practicable after the Closing, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to maintain such Credit Support Items (without any amendments or modifications thereto) and renew such Credit Support Items on substantially the same terms, and, from and after the Closing, the Buyer Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may incur or suffer relating to such Credit Support Item.

SECTION 5.18. Transition Services and Reverse Transition Services.

(a) During the period following the Signing Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith to (i) agree to Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement, setting forth full descriptions of the Transition Services (including, with respect to each service, a description of such service and the cost and termination date for such service), which schedules shall be consistent with the terms of, and shall be based on the service categories and summaries (including cost

estimates, duration and methodologies) set forth on Schedule A to, the form of Transition Services Agreement attached as Exhibit I hereto and (ii) agree to Schedule A to the Reverse Transition Services Agreement, setting forth full descriptions of the Reverse Transition Services (including, with respect to each service, a description of such service and the cost and termination date for such service), which schedules shall be consistent with the terms of, and shall be based on the service categories and summaries (including cost estimates, duration and methodologies) set forth on Schedule A to, the form of Reverse Transition Services Agreement attached as Exhibit II hereto; provided, that, in each case, in the event the Parties do not agree to Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement or Schedule A to the Reverse Transition Services Agreement, the summaries thereof attached as Exhibit I or Exhibit II hereto, as applicable, shall become binding on the Parties and be deemed to become Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement or Schedule A to the Reverse Transition Services Agreement, as applicable, and provided, further, that Buyer Parent shall be entitled to exclude from Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement any Transition Services that Buyer Parent or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) will not require after Closing for so long as each Dependent Service (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) thereof is also excluded from Schedule A, by giving written notice of such excluded services to Seller Parent no later than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing, in which case (x) such excluded services and the corresponding costs shall be deemed removed from Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement, (y) neither Seller Parent nor its Subsidiaries shall have any further obligation to provide such excluded services under the Transition Services Agreement or otherwise, and (z) neither Buyer Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall be required to pay the cost of such excluded services under the Transition Services Agreement or otherwise. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their mutual intention is that the Transition Services Agreement and the Transition Services to be provided by members of the Seller Parent Group (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) to the applicable members of the Buyer Group (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) thereunder will enable Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries to operate the Business without disruption as from Closing and to transition to other arrangements on or before the end of the applicable service period thereunder. In the event Buyer Parent determines, in its reasonable opinion, whether before or after Closing (but before termination of the Transition Services Agreement), that any terms of the Transition Services Agreement or any schedules thereof (including Schedule A) would need to be amended or supplemented to achieve the foregoing objectives, the Parties shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith, acting reasonably, such amendment or supplement as may be reasonably necessary to properly reflect the intention of the Parties; provided that Seller Parent may decide, in its sole discretion, to reject any proposed amendment or supplement that would (x) increase the maximum duration of the term of any Transition Services beyond the applicable term (including any extension period) provided for in the Transition Services Agreement, including Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement, or (y) require Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates to perform any service that would not constitute an “Omitted Service” (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) unless Buyer Parent and Seller Parent, acting in good faith, mutually agree on the additional service fees required for the provision of any such Transition Services.

(b)

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Signing Date, the Parties shall work collaboratively and in good faith to develop and prepare to implement plans setting out the steps necessary to enable (A) the provision of the Transition Services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement on and from the Closing (the “Transitional Plan”), (B) the implementation of the Legal Impediment Delayed Transfers, and (C) the transfer and assignment on or after the Closing to Buyer Parent, any of its Affiliates or any third party designated by Buyer Parent for such purpose of all Health Care Approvals related to the Products that are required in connection with the operation of the Business as presently conducted (or, if the transfer and assignment of any such Health Care Approval is not permissible under applicable Law, the issuance of a new Health Care Approval in the name of Buyer Parent, any of its Affiliates or designated third parties) (clause (B) and (C), together, the “Transfer Plan” and, together with the Transitional Plan, the “Integration Plans”) in accordance with any applicable Antitrust Laws.

(ii) Within the earlier of ninety (90) days after the Put Date and thirty (30) days after the Signing Date, Seller Parent shall deliver to Buyer Parent a first draft of the initial Integration Plans. Buyer Parent shall then agree with Seller Parent on the terms of these initial Integration Plans within sixty (60) days after receipt of the same. Seller Parent shall then (A) deliver accordingly to Buyer Parent the agreed version of the applicable initial Integration Plans within ninety (90) days after the Signing Date and (B) update the applicable Integration Plan to reflect any necessary adjustments or amendments agreed by the Seller Parent and Buyer Parent and deliver to the Buyer Parent any such updated Integration Plan every ninety (90) days thereafter until the Closing.

(iii) To the extent permissible under applicable Law, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (A) once an Integration Plan is agreed, (1) comply with its obligations under such Integration Plan and (2) cooperate with and provide or procure such assistance to the other Party, the other Party’s Affiliates and any relevant third parties as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the performance of such Integration Plan and its implementation; and (B) use best endeavors to take all actions from the Signing Date until the Closing Date as may be reasonably necessary to enable: (1) the provision of the Transition Services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement on and from the Closing; (2) the implementation of the Legal Impediment Delayed Transfers; (3) the transfer and assignment on or after the Closing to Buyer Parent, any of its Affiliates or any third party designated by Buyer Parent for such purpose of all Health Care Approvals related to the Products that are required in connection with the operation of the Business as presently conducted (or, if the transfer and assignment of any such Health Care Approval is not permissible under applicable Law, the issuance of a new Health Care Approval in the name of Buyer Parent, any of its Affiliates or designated third parties); and (4) the eventual achievement of the full operational migration of the Business from Seller Parent and its Affiliates to Buyer Parent, including by timely filing or causing to be filed any application or document with any Governmental Entity and taking any all other actions as are reasonably necessary or required under applicable Health Care Law to effect the transfer and assignment (or issuance) referred to in (3) above and making available to the other Party any technical and regulatory information in its or its Affiliates’ possession or control reasonably necessary or required by the other Party in such connection.

(iv) After the Signing Date and subject to compliance with applicable Law, Seller Parent shall promptly inform Buyer Parent of any information Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may receive related to Health Care Approvals or any information likely to have an impact on the research, manufacture, pricing, reimbursement, marketing, vigilance (including positive benefit/risk ratio) and promotion of the Products.

(v) Each Party shall bear its own costs (including the costs of its Affiliates) incurred in complying with this Section 5.18(b) and the Integration Plans.

(vi) The Parties acknowledge and agree that any disputes relating to either party’s rights and obligations set forth in the Transition Services Agreement or Reverse Transition Services Agreement shall be governed by the terms of such agreement and not this Agreement.

SECTION 5.19. Further Assurances. In connection with and at or following the Closing, each Party shall, at the request of the other Party, do or procure to be done all such further acts and things and execute or procure the execution of all such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to give full effect to the allocation of rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions, including the recordal of change of ownership of Transferred Intellectual Property on any Intellectual Property registry and all actions required to effectuate the rights of each Party under Section 9.11. Each provision of this Agreement and any document referred to in this Agreement which is capable of being performed after but which has not been performed at or before Closing, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent required under applicable Law or as otherwise reasonably necessary to effect the Transactions, the Parties shall use reasonable endeavors to execute and deliver, or cause their respective Affiliates to execute and deliver, such transfer agreements, bills of sale, deeds, assignments, assumptions and other documents and instruments of sale, conveyance, assignment, novation, transfer, conveyance, assumption and delivery (the “Business Transfer Documents”) as are necessary to effect any transfer of the Transferred Assets or any assumption of the Assumed Liabilities at the Closing (by means of the Acquisition), or such other time for transfer or assumption as contemplated by Section 1.08 or by the Transition Services Agreement or the Distribution Agreement, as applicable (in accordance with the terms of Section 1.08 or the Transition Services Agreement or the Distribution Agreement, as applicable), in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Business Transfer Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably agreed to by the Parties and as is usual and customary in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that the Parties agree and acknowledge that the Business Transfer Documents are intended solely to formalize the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to comply with any applicable Law and shall be, in all respects, consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Business Transfer Document, this Agreement shall control. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.19 shall not obligate either Party to provide the other Party legal advice or legal services.

SECTION 5.20. Commingled Contracts. With respect to each Commingled Contract, Seller Parent shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, best endeavors to either (i) cause each counterparty to each Commingled Contract as promptly as practicable prior to the Closing to enter into stand-alone arrangements between an Acquired Company, Buyer Parent or its relevant Affiliate on the one hand, and the counterparty to such Commingled Contract on the other hand, in respect of the Business Interests under such Commingled Contract or (ii) assign such Commingled Contract to an Acquired Company or a Buying Entity and enter into a stand-alone arrangement between Seller Parent or its relevant Affiliate on the one hand, and the counterparty to such Commingled Contract on the other hand, in respect of the rights and obligations of the Retained Business under such Commingled Contract, in each case, on substantially the same terms and conditions (except for Permitted Consent Changes) as in existence on the Put Date in respect of those respective rights and obligations (such act, the “Commingled Contract Separation”) so that, after giving effect to the Commingled Contract Separation, the rights and obligations applicable to the Business Interests under the Commingled Contracts are substantially the same as those existing before giving effect to the Commingled Contract Separation (except for Permitted Consent Changes). Seller Parent, its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) or its Representatives shall bear any and all costs or expenses which are necessary in order to effect the Commingled Contract Separation of each Commingled Contract; provided, that Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, pay or offer or agree to pay any fees, costs, expenses or other sums of money in connection with effecting any Commingled Contract Separation other than bona fide non-recurring fees not to exceed the Consent Fee Cap. Buyer Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Seller Parent in respect of the foregoing under this Section 5.20; provided, that notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, neither Buyer Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies as from the Closing Date) shall have any obligation in connection with effecting any Commingled Contract Separation, and without Buyer Parent’s consent, Seller

Parent shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to (i) commence, defend or participate in any litigation, (ii) pay sums of money (other than payment by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries of amounts expressly permitted in accordance with the immediately foregoing sentence) or provide any guarantee or other consideration, (iii) incur any other Liability, (iv) waive or amend any terms of any Commingled Contract or of this Agreement or any other Contract to which Buyer Parent or such Affiliate is a party other than such waivers or amendments of Commingled Contracts that constitute Permitted Consent Changes or (v) agree to any undertaking, or otherwise agree to any action, that would adversely affect Buyer Parent or such Affiliate or the Business other than with respect to any Permitted Consent Changes.

SECTION 5.21. Exclusivity. Between the Signing Date and the Closing, Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause and direct its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) and each of their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) initiate, solicit or encourage (including by providing information), induce or take any other action which would reasonably be expected to lead to the making, submission or announcement of, any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to, or the making or completion of, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) furnish to any other Person any information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (c) other than informing Persons of the provisions contained in this Section 5.21, enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or any negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or otherwise take any action to facilitate or induce any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal, (d) approve, endorse, recommend or enter into any Acquisition Proposal or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or Contract contemplating an Acquisition Proposal or requiring Seller Parent or the Acquired Companies, or any of their Affiliates, to abandon or terminate its obligations under this Agreement, or (e) agree, resolve or commit to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer Parent acknowledges and agrees that any disclosure required to be made by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates pursuant to applicable Law not intended to solicit Acquisition Proposals, will be deemed not to violate the provisions of this Agreement. Seller Parent shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing and terminate access to any “data rooms”. Seller Parent and the Acquired Companies agree to notify Buyer Parent immediately if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and provide Buyer Parent with a description of the material terms and conditions thereof, including the identity of such Person; provided that Seller Parent and the Acquired Companies shall have the right to respond to such Acquisition Proposal or proposal, offer, inquiry or contact solely to inform such Person that Seller Parent and the Acquired Companies are subject to contractual restrictions and may not discuss such matters. Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) not to, release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, without the prior written consent of Buyer Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.21 shall restrict Seller Parent from taking any action with respect to a proposal, offer, inquiry or contact from any Person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition by such Person of any equity interests or control of Seller Parent or any assets of Seller Parent which do not comprise in whole or in part the Business or the Transferred Assets, whether by merger, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer, stock acquisition, binding share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or otherwise; provided, that Seller Parent shall cause the applicable acquirer of any Selling Entity or its assets or of Seller Parent or its assets (other than, in the case of a sale of the equity of Seller Parent, if Seller Parent is the surviving entity) to assume any applicable obligations hereunder pursuant to a joinder reasonably satisfactory to Buyer Parent.

SECTION 5.22. Payment in Full; Release. Seller Parent hereby confirms on behalf of itself and each other Seller Releasing Parties that, following the Closing, there will be no payment or other Liability of any Acquired Company to Seller Parent or any of its Related Persons or any of their respective direct or indirect equityholders (collectively with Seller Parent, the “Seller Releasing Parties”) and no Seller Releasing Party has any claims against any Buyer Released Party, in each case, other than with respect to

the Retained Rights. In furtherance of the foregoing, effective upon the Closing, Seller Parent (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Seller Releasing Party) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Buyer Parent, its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and each of the representatives, direct and indirect equityholders and Affiliates of the foregoing (collectively, the “Buyer Released Parties”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, contracts and covenants (whether express or implied and whether known or unknown), and claims and demands whatsoever, whether in law or equity, which the Seller Releasing Parties may have against each of the Buyer Released Parties, now or in the future, in each case in respect of any cause, matter or thing relating to any act, omission, event, condition or circumstance occurring or existing at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, including any claim with respect to, any Transferred Asset or Business Employees, or any right whatsoever to acquire, directly or indirectly, any equity securities of any Acquired Company, or pursuant to any phantom unit, equity appreciation right or other similar right, under any instrument, document, plan, agreement or commitment, written or oral, or otherwise, other than with respect to claims under this Agreement or any Transaction Document (each of such rights, the “Retained Rights”). In furtherance thereof, effective as of the Closing, Seller Parent hereby waives, on behalf of itself and each other Seller Releasing Party, each of such claims and agrees that it will not, and will cause each other Seller Releasing Party not to, assert, bring or join or assist any other Person in bringing any such claim against any Buyer Released Party, other than in respect of the Retained Rights.

SECTION 5.23. Release of Liens. To the extent there are any Liens other than Permitted Liens on the Transferred Assets, Seller Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer Parent as promptly as practicable, and in any event at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer Parent, Lien releases and other instruments of discharge (including UCC-3 termination statements or similar instruments under applicable Law, if applicable) or other documentation reasonably requested by Buyer Parent, in each case in connection with (and which shall only be effective as of) the Closing.

SECTION 5.24. Notification of Breaches. From the Signing Date until the earlier of (a) the valid termination of this Agreement and (b) the Closing Date, if after the Put Date Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has knowledge of any event, factor or condition that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach in any material respect of any warranty made in this Agreement or any covenant in this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VI becoming incapable of being satisfied, the applicable Party shall promptly disclose such breach to the other Party; provided that any failure to disclose in accordance with the foregoing shall not in and of itself be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.02(b) or Section 6.03(b) to be satisfied.

As to those Third Party Claims with respect to which the Indemnifying Party does not elect or is not permitted to assume control of the defense, the Indemnified Party will afford the Indemnifying Party an opportunity to participate in such defense, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, and will consult with the Indemnifying Party prior to settling or otherwise disposing of any of the same. The Indemnified Party will not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless the portion of the monetary damages that would not be payable by the Indemnifying Parties in respect of such settlement exceeds the portion that would be payable by the Indemnifying Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.05, the Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if (A) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action against the Indemnified Party, (B) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (C) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Damages relating to the Third Party Claim would exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party would then be entitled to recover under this Article VIII (or would be less than the Seller Deductible, if applicable), (D) the Indemnifying Party fails to vigorously defend the Third Party Claim or (E) the Third Party Claim is brought by a Governmental Entity. The Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses in defending such Third Party Claim shall constitute Damages whether or not the Indemnified Party is ultimately successful.

SECTION 8.06. Claims Not Involving Third Parties.

(a) Any Indemnified Party wishing to assert a Claim for indemnification under this Article VIII that does not involve a Third Party Claim shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Claim. Failure to give prompt notice of a Claim under this Section 8.06 shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party are unable to resolve such Claim within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such written notice, each party shall be entitled to seek all remedies available under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise existing at law or in equity.

(b) This Section 8.06 shall not apply to claims for Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 5.06.

SECTION 8.07. Exclusivity, No Duplicate Recovery. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, this Article VIII and Section 5.02(f), Section 5.02(g), Section 5.03, Section 5.10(f) and Section 5.16 provide the sole and exclusive means by which a Party (or its successors, assigns or Affiliates or Representatives) may assert monetary damages against another Party (or its successors, assigns, Affiliates or Representatives) of any nature whatsoever, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, under this Agreement after the Closing (other than disputes related to adjustments of the Estimated Closing Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 1.05, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 1.05), including any contractual or non-contractual claims, tortious claims (including negligence), statutory claims, equitable claims, claims for breach of warranty, misrepresentation, negligent misstatement, repudiatory breach or rescission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.07 shall preclude any Party from seeking (a) any relief other than monetary damages (including injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement) when such relief is otherwise available under this Agreement, (b) any relief with respect to any covenant or agreement to the extent that, by its express terms, provides for performance following the Closing, (c) any remedy in the case of Fraud or (d) any remedy in accordance with any Transaction Document (other than this Agreement) or the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter was reflected in the calculation of the Final Closing Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 1.05.

SECTION 8.08. Calculation of Damages. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be net of (a) any amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates from third parties with respect to such Damages (less any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate out-of-pocket cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums) and (b) any recoverable VAT actually recovered by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages with respect to the taxable year of the occurrence of the Damages giving rise to the indemnification obligation. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, in any case where the Indemnified Party subsequently recovers from third parties any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has indemnified the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of any applicable insurance premium increases and any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter.

SECTION 8.09. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, for all applicable Tax purposes, any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Closing Cash Consideration.

SECTION 8.10. Materiality. In all cases in determining the amount of any losses with respect to a breach of a warranty or covenant by a Party for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII (but not for purposes of determining whether any such breach occurred), such warranty or covenant shall be read without regard to any limitation as to materiality or Business Material Adverse Effect (provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the word “Material” in the defined term “Business Material Adverse Effect”).

SECTION 8.11. Offset. The Parties agree that the Buyer Indemnitees shall, with respect to any indemnifiable Damages under this Article VIII, be entitled to recover amounts which are finally determined to be owed by the Seller Parties to the Buyer Indemnitees under Article VIII by offsetting such amounts against any payments due to such Indemnified Party or any of their Affiliates hereunder or under this Agreement or the Contingent Additional Amount Agreement.

To the extent that the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail and, in particular, the Confidentiality Agreement is hereby deemed amended to permit the performance of Buyer Parent and its Affiliates of all of the Transactions, including the Financing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer Parent shall be permitted to disclose this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to its actual or potential Financing Sources, an agent on their behalf and their respective advisors).

SECTION 9.10. Governing Law. This Agreement and any matter, claim or dispute (including any Action) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation, whether contractual or non-contractual, shall be governed by, and construed and determined in accordance with English law.

SECTION 9.11. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided that (i) Seller Parent may assign its right to receive some or all of the Estimated Closing Cash Consideration, TSA Fee Payment, or any adjustments thereto, in each case, to one or more of its Subsidiaries and (ii) each Buyer Party (and each of its permitted assigns) may (directly or indirectly) assign, novate or delegate all or part of its rights, obligations or claims under this Agreement to any (x) Affiliate or parent of Buyer Parent or (y) Debt Financing Sources (or an agent or security agent on their behalf) or any other provider of debt financing with regard to the Transactions as security; provided that in the case of an assignment, novation or delegation under clause (ii)(x), other than in connection with an Identified Divestiture, all rights and obligations under this Agreement shall continue to be binding on Buyer Parent. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 9.12. Enforcement; Jurisdiction.

(a) Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties may be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, no Party would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.12 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection therewith, and no Party shall contest the amount or absence of any such bond or other security requested or offered by the Party seeking such injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.12 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection therewith, and no Party shall contest the amount or absence of any such bond or other security requested or offered by the Party seeking such injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief. It is explicitly agreed that Seller Parent and the Equity Selling Entities have the right to injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies to enforce Buyer Parties obligations to consummate the Closing, including to cause, or cause Buyer Parent to cause, the Equity Financing to be funded; provided that the right to injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies to enforce the Buyer Parties’ obligations to consummate the Closing, or to cause Buyer Parent to enforce, the obligations of the Equity Financing Sources under the Equity Financing Commitment in order to cause the Equity Financing to be timely completed in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Financing Commitment (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of Seller Parent and the Equity Selling Entities to injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for any other reason) shall be subject to the requirement that (i) all conditions in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 have been satisfied

119

and continue to be (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) or have been irrevocably waived, (ii) Buyer Parent is obligated to consummate the Closing as required pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) Buyer Parent fails to consummate the Closing as required pursuant to this Agreement by the tenth (10^th) Business Day following the delivery of such notice and during such ten (10) Business Day period Seller Parent and each Selling Entity continues to stand ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing, (iv) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (v) each of Seller Parent and the Equity Selling Entities has irrevocably confirmed that if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take such actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur.

(b) Jurisdiction. The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any matter, claim or dispute (including any Action), whether contractual or non-contractual, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, its subject matter or formation. Any Proceedings shall be brought only in the courts of England or Wales. Each party waives (and agrees not to raise) any objection, on the ground of forum non conveniens or on any other ground, to the taking of Proceedings in the courts of England or Wales. Each party also agrees that a judgment against it in Proceedings brought in England or Wales be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably submits and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. With the prior written consent of Buyer Parent, the Acquired Companies, their respective Affiliates, predecessors and assigns, and their respective Representatives and equity holders may enforce the terms of Section 5.02, Section 9.10 and Section 9.12, in each case, under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

SECTION 9.13. No Other Duties. The only duties and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no other duties or obligations shall be implied in fact, law or equity, or under any principle of fiduciary obligation.

SECTION 9.14. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring or required to incur such fees or expenses.

SECTION 9.15. Seller Legal Representation.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Existing Counsel may have acted as counsel for any or all of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Seller Engagement”).

(b) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Existing Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the Seller Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, legal professional privilege and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto (collectively, the “Seller Privileges”), shall be deemed to belong solely to Seller Parent, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held or used by Buyer Parent or the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing. Accordingly, Buyer Parent and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Existing Counsel relating to the Seller Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies), acknowledge and agree that, upon and after the

120

Closing, (i) to the extent that files of Existing Counsel in respect of the Seller Engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) shall hold such property rights, and (ii) Existing Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files (or any other communications or documents subject to legal professional privilege) to Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) by reason of any attorney-client (or similar) relationship between Existing Counsel, on the one hand, and any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand. If and to the extent that, at any time after the Closing, Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege or legal professional privilege with respect to any communication between any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Existing Counsel, on the other hand, that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies), shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of Seller Parent.

(c) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Existing Counsel may continue to represent any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities or their respective Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, Buyer Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies), expressly: (i) consents to Existing Counsel’s representation of any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities or any of their respective Affiliates in any matter, including any post-Closing matter in which the interests of Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions, and whether or not such matter is one in which Existing Counsel may have previously advised any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities or their respective Affiliates; and (ii) consents to the disclosure by Existing Counsel to any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities or their respective Affiliates of any information learned by Existing Counsel in the course of its representation of any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities, the Acquired Company and their respective Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, legal professional privilege or Existing Counsel’s duty of confidentiality.

(d) Buyer Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies), further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim, and that it hereby waives any claim, against Existing Counsel in respect of legal services provided to any of Seller Parent, the Selling Entities, the Acquired Companies or their respective Affiliates in connection with the Seller Engagement.

(e) Upon and after the Closing, the Acquired Companies shall cease to have any attorney-client (or similar) relationship with Existing Counsel, unless and to the extent Existing Counsel is specifically engaged in writing by any Acquired Company to represent such Acquired Company after the Closing. Any such representation by Existing Counsel after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

(f) Each of Buyer Parent and Seller Parent consents to the arrangements in this Section 9.15 and agrees to take, and to cause its respective Affiliates to take, all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 9.15 and not to take, and cause its respective Affiliates not to take, positions contrary to the intent of this Section 9.15.

121

SECTION 9.16. Conflicts of Interest.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Buyer Counsel may have acted as counsel for any or all of Buyer Parent, the Buying Entities and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Buyer Engagement”).

(b) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Buyer Counsel may continue to represent any of Buyer Parent, the Buying Entities or their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) in future matters. Accordingly, Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, expressly consents to Buyer Counsel’s representation of any of Buyer Parent, the Buying Entities or any of their respective Affiliates in any matter, including any post-Closing matter in which the interests of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and any of Buyer Parent, the Buying Entities or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions, and whether or not such matter is one in which Buyer Counsel may have previously advised any of Buyer Parent, the Buying Entities or their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies).

(c) Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim, and that it hereby waives any claim, against Buyer Counsel in respect of legal services provided to any of Buyer Parent, the Buying Entities, or their respective Affiliates in connection with the Buyer Engagement.

SECTION 9.17. Non-Recourse. Without limiting any recourse a Party may have under the Confidentiality Agreement and except in the case of Fraud, all claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or tort, in law or in equity or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement) may be made only against (and such warranties are those solely of) the Parties.
