a. The Parties have taken or will take, and have caused or will cause their respective Subsidiaries to take, all actions that are necessary or appropriate to implement and accomplish the transactions contemplated by each of the steps set forth in the Restructuring Plan (collectively, the “Restructuring”); provided, however, that all of such steps shall be completed by no later than the Distribution.

Section 2.2 Transfer of LENSAR Assets and LENSAR Business; Assumption of LENSAR Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in furtherance of the Restructuring and the Spin-Off:

a. PDL, by no later than the Effective Time, shall cause all of its (or its Subsidiaries’) rights, title and interest in and to all of the LENSAR Assets and LENSAR Business to be contributed, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, directly or indirectly, to LENSAR, and LENSAR agrees to accept or cause to be accepted all such rights, title and interest in and to all the LENSAR Assets and LENSAR Business. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, ALL ASSETS TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT ARE BEING TRANSFERRED AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.

b. PDL, by no later than the Effective Time, shall cause all of the LENSAR Liabilities to be assigned, directly or indirectly, to LENSAR, and LENSAR agrees to accept, assume, perform, discharge and fulfill all of the LENSAR Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms.

c. LENSAR, by no later than the Effective Time, shall cause all of its rights, title and interest in and to any Retained Assets to be distributed, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, directly or indirectly, to PDL (or its Subsidiaries), and PDL agrees to accept or cause to be accepted all such rights, title and interest in and to such Retained Assets. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, ALL ASSETS TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY

ANCILLARY AGREEMENT ARE BEING TRANSFERRED AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.

d. LENSAR, by no later than the Effective Time, shall cause any PDL Liabilities it holds to be assigned, directly or indirectly, to PDL, and PDL agrees to accept, assume, perform, discharge and fulfill all of such PDL Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms.

e. Upon completion of the transactions contemplated by Sections 2.1, 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(c) and 2.2(d) above: LENSAR will own, directly or indirectly, the LENSAR Business and the LENSAR Assets and be subject to the LENSAR Liabilities; and PDL will continue to own, directly or indirectly, the PDL Business and the PDL Retained Assets and continue to be subject to the PDL Liabilities.

Section 2.3 Third-Party Consents and Government Approvals.

a.To the extent that either the Distribution or any step in the Restructuring Plan requires a consent of any third party or a Governmental Authorization, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each such consent and Governmental Authorization at or prior to the time such consent or Governmental Authorization is required in order to lawfully effect the Distribution and each step in the Restructuring Plan.

b.If any Asset may not be transferred by reason of the requirement to obtain the consent of any third party or a Governmental Authorization and such consent has not been obtained by the Distribution Date, then (unless otherwise expressly agreed by PDL and LENSAR) such Asset shall not be transferred until such consent has been obtained. Subject to reimbursement from the other Party of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such actions, PDL and LENSAR, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause the owner of such Asset to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the other Party (or appropriate Entity affiliated with the other Party) all the rights and benefits under such Asset, cause such owner to enforce such Asset for the benefit of such other Party (or for the benefit of the Entity affiliated with the other Party) and assume or cause the appropriate Entity affiliated with it to assume all obligations of such Asset, in each case to the extent that such action does not cause a breach or default under such Asset. Both Parties shall otherwise cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the economic and operational equivalent of an assignment or transfer of the Asset as of the Distribution Date.

c.From and after the Distribution Date, each Party shall promptly transfer or cause the Entity(ies) affiliated with it to promptly transfer to the other Party or the appropriate Entity(ies) affiliated with the other Party, from time to time, any property received that is an Asset of the other Party or of any Entity affiliated with the other Party. Without limiting the foregoing, funds received by a Party or any Entity affiliated with such Party upon the payment of accounts receivable that belong to the other Party or any Entity affiliated with the other party, shall be transferred to the other Party (or Entity affiliated with the other Party) promptly within five business days.

Section 2.4 Further Actions. From and after the Distribution, upon the reasonable request of a Party hereto, the other Party hereto will promptly take, or cause its Subsidiaries to promptly take, all commercially reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to fully accomplish the Restructuring and to give effect to the transactions provided for in this Agreement, including each step in the Restructuring Plan, in accordance with the purposes hereof.

Section 2.5 Restructuring Documents. All documents and instruments used to effect the Restructuring and otherwise to comply with this Agreement shall be in form satisfactory to PDL and LENSAR.

b.On or prior to the Distribution Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, LENSAR shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to transfer or cause to be transferred any transferable licenses, permits and authorizations issued by any Governmental Authority which relate primarily to the PDL Business but which are held in the name of any LENSAR Entity, or in the name of any employee, officer, director, stockholder or agent of any such LENSAR Entity, or otherwise, on behalf of any PDL Entity, to the appropriate PDL Entity.

DISTRIBUTION AND CERTAIN COVENANTS

Section 3.1 Distribution.

a. On or prior to the Distribution Date, PDL shall deliver to Computershare, Inc.

LENSAR shall provide any share certificates that the Agent shall require in order to effect the Distribution. The Distribution shall be effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Distribution Date.

b.The LENSAR Shares issued in the Distribution are intended to be distributed only pursuant to a book entry system. PDL shall instruct the Agent to deliver the LENSAR Shares previously delivered to the Agent to a depositary and to mail to each holder of record of PDL

Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, a statement of the LENSAR Common Stock credited to such holder’s account.

c.Record Holders who, after aggregating the number of LENSAR Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such Record Holder would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a LENSAR Common Share in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional LENSAR Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (i) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of LENSAR Common Stock allocable to each Record Holder, (ii) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (iii) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of LENSAR Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income tax purposes. PDL shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer taxes incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Agent. None of PDL, LENSAR or the applicable Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional LENSAR Common Stock. Neither PDL nor LENSAR will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Agent nor the selected broker-dealers will be Affiliates of PDL or LENSAR. Any LENSAR Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to LENSAR Common Stock that remains unclaimed by any holder of record one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to LENSAR. LENSAR shall hold such LENSAR Common Stock and/or cash for the account of such holder of record and any such holder of record shall look only to LENSAR for such LENSAR Common Stock and/or cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property laws.

d.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, PDL, the Agent or any Person that is a withholding agent under applicable Law shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration distributable or payable hereunder the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any amounts so withheld shall be paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority in the manner prescribed by Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. An applicable withholding agent may collect the deducted or withheld amounts by reducing to cash a sufficient portion of the LENSAR Shares that a Person would otherwise receive, and may require that such Person bear the brokerage or other costs from this withholding procedure.

Section 3.2 PDL Determinations. PDL shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether to proceed with all or part of the Distribution and all terms thereof, including the

Section 3.8 Removal of Certain Guarantees; Releases from Liabilities.

a.Except as otherwise specified in any Ancillary Agreement, in the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date, PDL or LENSAR identifies any LENSAR Liability for which any PDL Entity is a guarantor or obligor, LENSAR shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have, as quickly as practicable, such PDL Entities removed as guarantor of or obligor for any such Liability of LENSAR, and in the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date, PDL or LENSAR identifies any PDL Liability for which any LENSAR Entity is a guarantor or obligor, PDL shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have, as quickly as practicable, such LENSAR Entities removed as guarantor of or obligor for any such Liability of PDL.

b.If either Party is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in Section 3.8(a), the guarantor or obligor shall continue to be bound as such and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, the applicable Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant beneficiary to cause one of its Affiliates, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor to pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of the relevant guarantor or obligor thereunder from and after the date hereof.

c.If LENSAR is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in Section 3.8(a), or LENSAR Liabilities arise from and after the Effective Time but before any PDL Entity, if such PDL Entity is a guarantor or obligor with reference to any such LENSAR Liability, is removed pursuant to Section 3.8(a), then LENSAR shall indemnify each PDL Entity for all Liabilities incurred by any of them in such Person’s capacity as guarantor or obligor. Without limiting the foregoing, LENSAR shall, or shall cause a LENSAR Entity to, reimburse PDL as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following delivery by PDL to LENSAR of notice of a payment made pursuant to this Section 3.8 in respect of LENSAR Liabilities.

d.If PDL is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in Section 3.8(a), or PDL Liabilities arise from and after the Effective Time but before any LENSAR Entity, if such LENSAR Entity is a guarantor or obligor with reference to any such LENSAR Liability, is removed pursuant to Section 3.8(a), then PDL shall indemnify each LENSAR Entity for all Liabilities incurred by any of them in such Person’s capacity as guarantor or obligor. Without limiting the foregoing, PDL shall, or shall cause a PDL Entity to, reimburse LENSAR as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following delivery by LENSAR to PDL of notice of a payment made pursuant to this Section 3.8 in respect of PDL Liabilities.

e.In the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date, PDL identifies any letters of credit, interest rate or foreign exchange contracts, surety bonds or other contracts (excluding guarantees) that relate primarily to the LENSAR Business but for which a PDL Entity has contingent, secondary, joint, several or other Liability of any nature whatsoever, LENSAR shall, at its expense, take such actions and enter into such agreements and arrangements as PDL may reasonably request to effect the release or substitution of PDL (or a PDL Entity).

f.In the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date, LENSAR identifies any letters of credit, interest rate or foreign exchange contracts, surety bonds or other contracts (excluding guarantees) that relate primarily to the PDL Business but for which a LENSAR Entity has contingent, secondary, joint, several or other Liability of any nature whatsoever, PDL shall, at its expense, take such actions and enter into such agreements and arrangements as LENSAR may reasonably request to effect the release or substitution of LENSAR (or a LENSAR Entity).

g.At and after the Effective Time, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution or amendment required to novate, assign or extinguish all LENSAR Liabilities (with respect to the PDL Entities) and PDL

Liabilities (with respect to the LENSAR Entities) of any nature whatsoever transferred under this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of the assignor so that in each such case, PDL (or an appropriate PDL Entity) shall be solely responsible for the PDL Liabilities and LENSAR (or an appropriate LENSAR Entity) shall be solely responsible for the LENSAR Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor (except for filing fees or other similar charges) to any Third Party from whom such consent, substitution, amendment or release is requested. Whether or not any such consent, substitution, amendment or release is obtained, nothing in this Section 3.8 shall in any way limit the obligations of the Parties under Article V. If, as and when it becomes possible to delegate, assign, novate or extinguish any LENSAR Liabilities or PDL Liabilities in accordance with the terms hereof, the Parties shall promptly sign all such documents and perform all such other acts as may be necessary to give effect to such delegation, novation, extinction or other release; provided, however, than no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor.

At any time, at the reasonable request of a Party, the other Party will cause each Entity affiliated with such Party to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

a.Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Effective Time, PDL shall, and shall cause each other PDL Entity to, assume, pay, perform and discharge all PDL Liabilities in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and LENSAR shall, and shall cause each other LENSAR Entity to, assume, pay, perform and discharge all LENSAR Liabilities in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice.

ARTICLE V.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 5.1 Indemnification by PDL.

This Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides that this Agreement applies to any matter in such Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.2 Indemnification by LENSAR. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement, from and after the Distribution Date, LENSAR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the PDL Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses of the PDL Indemnitees to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with the LENSAR Liabilities or alleged LENSAR Liabilities, including any breach by any LENSAR Entity of any provision of this Section 5.2, any breach by any LENSAR Entity of this Agreement, and with respect to all information contained in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement (other than information regarding any PDL Entity provided by any PDL Entity in writing to LENSAR expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement), any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. This Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides that this Agreement applies to any matter in such Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.3 Procedures for Indemnification.

a.If a claim or demand is made by a Third Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) against a LENSAR Indemnitee or a PDL Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) as to which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Party which is or may be required pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim promptly and in any event by the date that is the 15th Business Day after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

b.Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof), copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notice under this Section 5.3 shall be provided in accordance with Section 10.6. For the avoidance of doubt, knowledge of a Third-Party Claim by a Person who is a director of both PDL and LENSAR shall not constitute notice for purposes of this Section 5.3.

c.Subject to Section 5.3(e), if a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and irrevocably acknowledges without condition or reservation its obligation to fully indemnify the Indemnitee therefor, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel to represent such Indemnitee if, in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim which would make representation of both such Parties by one counsel inappropriate, or the Third-Party Claim involves substantially different defenses for the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee, and in such event the fees and expenses of such single separate counsel shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnitee shall have given notice of the Third-Party Claim as provided above).

d.If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, in no event will the Indemnitee admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnitee releases the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim and such settlement, compromise or discharge would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim without the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnitee if the settlement has the effect of permitting any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against the Indemnitee, does not completely release the Indemnitee from all Liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, includes a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, or is otherwise prejudicial to the

Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election to do so as provided herein, such Indemnitee may compromise, settle or defend such Third-Party Claim; provided that the Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

e.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third-Party Claim) if the Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee which the Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

f.In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

g.LENSAR shall, and shall cause the other LENSAR Indemnitees to, and PDL shall, and shall cause the other PDL Indemnitees to, cooperate as may reasonably be required in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement of any Third-Party Claim. In furtherance of this obligation, the Parties agree that if an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, PDL or LENSAR, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable best efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former and then current directors, officers, employees and agents of PDL or any LENSAR Entity (as applicable) as witnesses and any Records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person, Records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise. At the request of an Indemnifying Party, an Indemnitee shall enter into a reasonably acceptable joint defense agreement.

h.The remedies provided in this Article V shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

i.The provisions of this Section 5.3 (other than this Section 5.3(i)) and the provisions of Section 5.4 shall not apply to Taxes (Taxes being governed by the Tax Matters Agreement).

Section 5.4 Indemnification Payments.

a.Indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or a Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party fails to make an indemnification payment required by this Article V within 30 days after receipt of a xxxx therefore or notice that a Loss has been incurred, the Indemnifying Party shall also be required to pay interest on the amount of such indemnification payment, from the date of receipt of the xxxx or notice of the Loss to but not including the date of payment, at the Applicable Rate.

b.The amount of any claim by an Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be reduced to reflect any insurance proceeds actually received (net of costs or any mandatory premium increases) by any Indemnitee that result from the Losses that gave rise to such indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitee will be obligated to seek recovery for any Losses from any Third Party before seeking indemnification under this Agreement and in no event will an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement be conditioned upon the status of the recovery of any offsetting amounts from any such Third Party.

Section 5.5 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of PDL and LENSAR and their respective Indemnitees under this Article V will survive the sale or transfer by any Party of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 5.6 Limitation on Liability.

ARTICLE VI.

LITIGATION MATTERS

Section 6.1 Case Allocation.

a.As of the Distribution Date, LENSAR shall, and, as applicable, shall cause the other LENSAR Entities to diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of the LENSAR Actions and any applicable future LENSAR Actions; notify PDL of material litigation developments related to the LENSAR Actions; and agree not to file any cross claim or institute separate legal proceedings against PDL in relation to the LENSAR Actions. Upon the settlement or judgment of any LENSAR Action, LENSAR shall in good faith determine an equitable apportionment of such settlement or judgment as between LENSAR and PDL. If PDL provides

LENSAR with a written notice of PDL’s objection to LENSAR’s allocation of Liability within 60 days of receipt of that allocation, LENSAR and PDL shall endeavor in good faith to negotiate a mutually agreeable allocation of such Liability. If PDL and LENSAR have not reached a mutually agreeable allocation of such Liability within 90 days of LENSAR’s receipt of such objection notice, either PDL or LENSAR may request in writing to the other Party that such allocation be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism provided in Article VIII herein.

b.As of the Distribution Date, PDL shall, and, as applicable, shall cause the other PDL Entities to diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of the PDL Actions, including and any applicable future PDL Actions; notify LENSAR of material litigation developments related to the PDL Actions; agree not to file any cross claim or institute separate legal proceedings against LENSAR in relation to the PDL Actions. Upon the settlement or judgment of any PDL Action, PDL shall in good faith determine an equitable apportionment of the settlement or judgment as between PDL and LENSAR. If LENSAR provides PDL with a written notice of LENSAR’s objection to PDL’s allocation of Liability within 60 days of receipt of that allocation, PDL and LENSAR shall endeavor in good faith to negotiate a mutually agreeable allocation of such Liability. If LENSAR and PDL have not reached a mutually agreeable allocation of such Liability within 90 days of PDL’s receipt of such objection notice, either LENSAR or PDL may request in writing to the other Party that such allocation be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism provided in Article VIII herein.

c.Each of PDL and LENSAR agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action currently exists or is commenced by a third party with respect to which a Party (or any Entity affiliated with such Party) is a named defendant but such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the named but not liable defendant to be removed from such Action.

d.Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary, PDL shall have the right to participate in the defense of any LENSAR Action from which it has not been removed, and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense and LENSAR shall have the right to participate in the defense of any PDL Action from which it has not been removed, and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense.

e.LENSAR shall indemnify and hold harmless PDL and the other PDL Entities against LENSAR Liabilities arising in connection with any Action, and PDL shall indemnify and hold harmless LENSAR and the other LENSAR Entities against PDL Liabilities arising in connection with any Action, in each case, in accordance with the indemnification provisions of Article V.

f.Joint Actions.

i.As of the Distribution Date, PDL shall, and, as applicable, shall cause the other PDL Entities to diligently conduct the defense of the Joint Actions and any applicable future Joint Actions; notify LENSAR of material litigation developments

related to the Joint Actions; and agree not to file any cross claim or institute separate legal proceedings against LENSAR in relation to the Joint Actions; provided, however, that if it becomes clear that a Joint Action relates primarily to the LENSAR Business then from and after such time such Joint Action shall instead be deemed to be a LENSAR Action subject to Section 6.1(a) above, and LENSAR shall promptly reimburse PDL for any costs or expenses incurred by PDL in connection with such Joint Action pursuant to Section 6.1(f)(iii); provided, further, that if it becomes clear that a Joint Action relates primarily to the PDL Business then from and after such time such Joint Action shall instead be deemed to be a PDL Action subject to Section 6.1(b) above, and PDL shall promptly reimburse LENSAR for any costs or expenses incurred by LENSAR in connection with such Joint Action pursuant to Section 6.1(f)(iii). PDL and LENSAR shall regularly meet to review and discuss the progress of the Joint Actions and the classification thereof.

ii.In a Joint Action, LENSAR shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent it and the other LENSAR Entities if LENSAR shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a legal defense available to the LENSAR Entities that are different from or in addition to those available to PDL, representation of both PDL (or any PDL Entity) and LENSAR (or any LENSAR Entity) by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or the Joint Action involves a claim for equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of LENSAR (or any LENSAR Entity) or LENSAR’s (or any LENSAR Entity’s) business or operations, in which case fees and expenses of such counsel incurred by LENSAR shall be included in the amounts allocated by Section 6.1(f)(iv). Otherwise, LENSAR shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement of any Joint Action, at its own expense. In the event of a conflict in the procedures described in this Section 6.1(f)(ii) and the procedures set forth in Sections 5.3(a) - (e), the terms of this Section 6.1(f)(ii) will control.

iii.PDL shall initially pay all joint attorneys’, accountants’, consultants’, expert witnesses’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses and all other out-of-pocket costs incurred on behalf of itself and LENSAR in the investigation, defense and/or evaluation of a Joint Action (“Litigation Expenses”). PDL shall periodically furnish to LENSAR copies of invoices paid by PDL for Litigation Expenses. Within 30 days of LENSAR’s receipt of such invoices, LENSAR shall pay PDL an amount equal to one-half of the Litigation Expenses (or such other share of the Litigation Expenses as reasonably determined by PDL), representing LENSAR’s estimated share of the Litigation Expenses. For each Joint Action, within 60 days of the final determination of LENSAR’s allocation of Liability pursuant to Section 6.1(f)(iv) below, PDL shall provide to LENSAR a proposed allocation of the Litigation Expenses between PDL and LENSAR, calculated to be in proportion to PDL’s and LENSAR’s respective allocated Liability for the settlement or judgment of the Joint Action. If LENSAR does not object to the proposed allocation within 60 days, LENSAR shall pay to PDL, or PDL shall pay to LENSAR, the amount necessary to true up the amounts contributed by each company

to match the allocation of the Litigation Expenses. If LENSAR provides PDL with a written notice of objection to PDL’s allocation of Litigation Expenses within such 60 days, PDL and LENSAR shall endeavor in good faith to negotiate a mutually agreeable allocation of such Litigation Expenses. If LENSAR and PDL have not reached a mutually agreeable allocation of such Litigation Expenses within 90 days of PDL’s receipt of such objection notice, either LENSAR or PDL may request in writing to the other Party that such allocation be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism provided in Article VIII.

iv.PDL shall propose an allocation of Liability for any judgment or settlement of a Joint Action, based upon, if available, the allocation identified by a court verdict or, in the event of a settlement, the settling counterparty (i.e., the third party that PDL and/or LENSAR is entering into a settlement with). If neither is available, PDL shall in good faith determine an equitable apportionment of Liability as between PDL and LENSAR based on the portion of Liability relating primarily to each of the PDL Business and LENSAR Business, respectively. If LENSAR provides PDL with a written notice of objection to PDL’s allocation of Liability within 60 days of receipt of that allocation, PDL and LENSAR shall endeavor in good faith to negotiate a mutually agreeable allocation of such Liability. If LENSAR and PDL have not reached a mutually agreeable allocation of such Liability within 90 days of PDL’s receipt of such objection notice, either LENSAR or PDL may request in writing to the other Party that such allocation be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism provided in Article VIII herein.

Section 7.2 Access to Information. From and after the Distribution Date, each of PDL and LENSAR shall afford to the other and its authorized Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, subject to appropriate restrictions for classified, privileged or confidential information, to the Representatives, properties, and Records of, in the possession of or in the control of the non-requesting Party and its Subsidiaries insofar as such access is reasonably required by the requesting Party and relates to such other Party or the conduct of its business prior to the Effective Time.

a.PDL and LENSAR shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ former and then current officers, directors, employees and agents as witnesses and any Records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that such Person, Records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party or any Entity affiliated with the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, except in the case of any Action in which any LENSAR Entity is adverse to any PDL Entity. The requesting Party shall bear all out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

b.Without limiting any provision of this Section 7.3, each Party shall, and shall cause each Entity affiliated with such Party to, cooperate and consult, to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

c.In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 7.3, the Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any PDL Entity and any LENSAR Entity.

Section 7.4 Confidentiality.

a.PDL and the PDL Subsidiaries on the one hand, and LENSAR on the other hand, shall not use or permit the use of and shall keep, and shall cause their respective Representatives to keep, confidential all information concerning the other Party in their possession, their custody or under their control to the extent such information, relates to or was acquired during the period up to the Effective Time, relates to any Ancillary Agreement, is obtained in the course of performing services for the other Party pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement or is based upon or is derived from information described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), and each Party

shall not (without the prior written consent of the other) otherwise release or disclose such information to any other Person, except such Party’s auditors, attorneys, consultants and advisors, unless compelled to disclose such information by judicial or administrative process or unless such disclosure is required by Law and such Party has used commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other affected Party or Parties prior to such disclosure. Each Party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential any information concerning or owned by the other Party or any Entity affiliated with the other Party, if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information. The covenants in this Section 7.4 shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue indefinitely; provided, however, that the covenants in this Section 7.4 shall terminate with respect to any information not constituting a trade secret under applicable Law on the third anniversary of the later of the Distribution Date or the date on which the Party subject to such covenants with respect to such information receives it (but any such termination shall not terminate or otherwise limit any other covenant or restriction regarding the disclosure or use of such information under any Ancillary Agreement or other agreement, instrument or legal obligation). This Section 7.4 shall not apply to information (A) that has been in the public domain through no fault of such Party, (B) that has been later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party, provided that such source is not known to be (or have been) bound by a confidentiality agreement, (C) the use or disclosure of which is permitted by this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement entered into pursuant hereto, (D) that is immaterial and its disclosure is required as part of the conduct of that Party’s business and would not reasonably be expected to be detrimental to the interests of the other Party or (E) that the other Party has agreed in writing may be so used or disclosed.

b.If any Party, or any Entity affiliated with such Party, either determines that it is required to disclose pursuant to applicable Law, or receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide, information of the other Party (or of any Entity affiliated with the other Party) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 7.4(a), such Party shall notify the other Party prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate at the expense of the requesting Party in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such other Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Person that received such request may thereafter disclose or provide such information if and to the extent required by such Law or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Person shall only disclose such portion of the information as required to be disclosed or provided.

Section 7.5 Privileged Matters. Except as may be otherwise provided in an Ancillary Agreement, the Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution Date have been and will be rendered for the benefit of the PDL Entities and the LENSAR Entities, and that each of the PDL Entities, and each of the LENSAR Entities should be deemed to be the client for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law. To allocate the interests of each Party in the information as to which any Party is entitled to assert a privilege, the Parties agree as follows:

a.PDL shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the PDL Business (other than with respect to Liabilities as to which LENSAR is required to provide indemnification under Article V or Article VI), whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of PDL, LENSAR or any other Entity. PDL shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting PDL Liabilities, or other Liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under Article V or Article VI, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of PDL, LENSAR or any other Entity.

b.LENSAR shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the LENSAR Business (other than with respect to Liabilities as to which PDL is required to provide indemnification under Article V or Article VI), whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of PDL, LENSAR or any other Entity. LENSAR shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting LENSAR Liabilities, or other Liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under Article V or Article VI, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by LENSAR, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of PDL, LENSAR or any other Entity.

c.The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 7.5, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Sections 7.5(a) and 7.5(b).

d.No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared privileged, without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except to the extent reasonably required in connection with any Third-Party Claims or as provided in subsection (e) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within 20 days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.

e.In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among the Parties, any Party and a Subsidiary of the other Party, or a Subsidiary of one Party and a Subsidiary of the other Party, either such Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party, provided, however, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and/or their Subsidiaries, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third-Party Claims.

f.If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to

the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for a waiver by the other Party. Each Party hereto specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to a waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

g.Upon receipt by any Party or by any Subsidiary thereof of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ current or former Representatives have received any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 7.5 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.

h.The transfer of all Records and other information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of PDL and LENSAR, as set forth in Sections 7.1(a), 7.4, and 7.5, to maintain the confidentiality of privileged information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. The access to information being granted pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.1(a), and 7.3 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) and 7.3 hereof, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 7.3 hereof, and the transfer of privileged information between and among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 7.6 Ownership of Information. Any information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Person. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information.

Section 7.7 Cost of Providing Records and Information. A Party requesting Records, information or access to Representatives, witnesses or properties, under this Article VII, agrees to reimburse the other Party and its Subsidiaries for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred in seeking to satisfy the request of the requesting Party.

Section 7.8 Retention of Records. Except as provided in the Tax Matters Agreement or when a longer retention period is otherwise required by Law or agreed to in writing, the PDL Entities and the LENSAR Entities shall retain all Records relating to the PDL Business and the LENSAR Business as of the Effective Time for the periods of time provided in each Party’s record retention policy (with respect to the documents of such Party and without regard to the Distribution or its effects) as in effect on the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of retaining any specific Records, PDL or LENSAR may offer in writing to deliver such Records to the other and, if such offer is not accepted within 90 days, the offered Records may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of at any time. If a recipient of such offer shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or

disposal that any of Records proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such requesting Party, the Party proposing the destruction or disposal shall promptly arrange for delivery of such of the Records as was requested (at the cost of the requesting Party).

Section 7.9 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VII are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on cooperation, access to information, privilege and the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or in any other agreement to which a PDL Entity and a LENSAR Entity are parties.

Section 7.10 Policies and Best Practices. Without representation or warranty, LENSAR and PDL shall continue to be permitted to share, on a confidential basis, “best practices” information and materials (such as policies, workflow templates and standard form contracts).

Section 7.11 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Nothing in this Article VII shall be deemed to require any Person to provide any information if doing so would, in the opinion of counsel to such Person, be inconsistent with any legal or constitutional obligation applicable to such Person.

ARTICLE VIII.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 8.1 Agreement Disputes. Except as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination, enforcement or breach of this Agreement, or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (collectively, “Agreement Disputes”) shall be determined by binding arbitration according to the following provisions, as the sole and exclusive means of resolving such dispute, claim or controversy.

Section 8.2 Negotiation. In the event either Party identifies an Agreement Dispute, it shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party identifying with reasonable particularity the facts which support the asserted dispute and the particular contractual provision at issue. Receipt of such notice by the other Party shall trigger a 30-day informal resolution process during which both Parties, through their designated representatives, shall attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute in an amicable manner.

Section 8.3 Arbitration. In the event the Agreement Dispute remains unresolved at the end of such 30-day period, the Parties agree to seek to resolve such Agreement Dispute by arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”), conducted in Chicago, Illinois. For Agreement Disputes with an amount in controversy of less than $500,000, exclusive of interest or attorneys’ fees, the Agreement Dispute shall be heard and determined by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. For Agreement Disputes with amount in controversy equal to or more than $500,000, exclusive of interest or attorneys’ fees, there shall be three arbitrators, with each Party appointing one arbitrator and the two party-appointed arbitrators agreeing on a third arbitrator who shall chair the arbitral tribunal. Any arbitrator not appointed within a reasonable time shall be appointed in

accordance with the JAMS Rules. Any controversy concerning the jurisdiction of the arbitrator(s), whether an Agreement Dispute is an arbitrable Agreement Dispute, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation of enforceability of this Article VIII shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The final award in the arbitration shall be issued no later than six months after the date the arbitration is first filed with JAMS; all deadlines and dates in the arbitration shall be set such that they are consistent with, and shall not interfere with or derogate from, this six-month deadline. This Article VIII shall not preclude either Party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Section 8.4 Choice of Law, Compliance, Enforcement, Costs. In resolving any Agreement Dispute, the Parties intend that the arbitrator(s) shall apply the substantive Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the Parties. Each Party agrees to comply and to cause the Entities affiliated with such Party to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision shall not be subject to appeal in any forum, but shall be enforceable by Delaware Courts if full compliance has not occurred within 30 days of the arbitrator’s written decision. Each Party shall bear its own costs of arbitration including its attorneys’ fees, without regard to which Party prevails; provided, that, the non-prevailing Party, as determined and identified by the arbitrator(s), shall bear 100% of costs and fees of the arbitrator(s).

Section 8.5 Confidentiality of Proceedings. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant Parties or permitted by this Agreement, the relevant Parties shall keep, and shall cause the Entities affiliated with them to keep, confidential all matters relating to the arbitration or the award. All negotiations, conferences and discussions pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations; provided, that such matters may be disclosed to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and to the extent otherwise required by Law or regulatory authority.

Section 8.6 Continuity of Service and Performance. During the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Parties will continue to provide all other services and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.
