(a) Subject to Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 and in accordance with the plan and structure set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) (such plan and structure, as it may be revised in accordance with Section 2.1(c), being referred to herein as the “Separation Step Plan”) and to the extent not previously effected pursuant to the steps of the Separation Step Plan that have been completed prior to the date of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement:

(i) SpinCo Assets. The Company shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, assign, transfer and convey to SpinCo or one or more of SpinCo’s Subsidiaries designated by SpinCo, and SpinCo or such Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall accept from the Company and the Company’s applicable Subsidiaries, all of the Company’s and such Subsidiaries’ respective direct or indirect right, title and interest in and to the SpinCo Assets;

-14-

(ii) SpinCo Liabilities. SpinCo or one or more of its Subsidiaries designated by SpinCo shall accept and assume from the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than SpinCo and its Subsidiaries) and agree to perform, discharge and fulfill the SpinCo Liabilities, in accordance with their respective terms. SpinCo and such Subsidiaries shall be responsible for all SpinCo Liabilities, regardless of when or where such SpinCo Liabilities arose or arise, or the legal entity that incurred or holds the SpinCo Liability (provided, that nothing contained herein shall preclude, restrict or otherwise inhibit SpinCo or one or more of its applicable Subsidiaries from asserting against third parties any defenses available to the legal entity that incurred or holds such SpinCo Liability), or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Distribution Time, regardless of where or against whom such SpinCo Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to the date of this Agreement, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group, any predecessor of any such member or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates;

(iii) Excluded Assets. The Company shall cause SpinCo and the applicable Subsidiaries of SpinCo to assign, transfer and convey to the Company or one or more of its other Subsidiaries designated by the Company (other than SpinCo or its Subsidiaries), and the Company or such other Subsidiaries shall accept from SpinCo and such applicable Subsidiaries, SpinCo’s and such applicable Subsidiaries’ respective direct or indirect right, title and interest in and to any Excluded Assets in the manner specified by the Company to be so assigned, transferred and conveyed; and

(iv) Excluded Liabilities. The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries designated by the Company (other than SpinCo or its Subsidiaries) shall accept and assume from SpinCo or one or more of its Subsidiaries and agree to perform, discharge and fulfill the Excluded Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, and the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries shall be responsible for all Excluded Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Excluded Liabilities arose or arise, or the legal entity that incurred or holds the Excluded Liability (provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude, restrict or otherwise inhibit the Company or one or more of its applicable Subsidiaries from asserting against third parties any defenses available to the legal entity that incurred or holds such Excluded Liability), or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Distribution Time, regardless of where or against whom such Excluded Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to the date of this Agreement, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates.

-15-

(b) In furtherance of any such assignment, transfer or assumption pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and without any additional consideration therefor, each of SpinCo and the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver and cause their Affiliates to prepare, execute and deliver such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect and/or evidence such assignment, transfer or assumption, in each case to the extent reasonably requested by the other (with all of such documents and instruments referred to collectively herein as the “Pre-Distribution Transfer Documents”). Except for the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties or their Affiliates shall not be required to make any other express or implied representation, warranty or covenant, either written or oral, in the Pre-Distribution Transfer Documents.

(c) Without limiting any other provision hereof, in connection with the reorganization contemplated by Section 2.1(a), each of the Company and SpinCo will take, and will cause each member of its respective Group to take, such actions as are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Separation Step Plan (whether prior to, at or after the Distribution Time). The Company may make changes to the Separation Step Plan in its reasonable discretion; provided, that, the prior written consent of Parent shall be required to the extent such changes would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent or materially impair the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) materially delay the timing of the transactions contemplated thereby, or (iii) materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain the IRS Ruling.

(d) To the extent that the assignment, transfer or conveyance of any Excluded Asset or SpinCo Asset, or the assumption of any Excluded Liability or SpinCo Liability, requires any Approvals or Notifications, (x) the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts and cooperate in good faith to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications, respectively, as soon as reasonably practicable and (y) each Party, at the reasonable request of the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to assign (or, to the extent requested by the Company, novate) all obligations under Contracts and other obligations or Liabilities for which one or more members of the SpinCo Group are liable and that do not constitute SpinCo Liabilities or for which one or more members of the Company Group are liable and that do not constitute Excluded Liabilities, so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group will be solely responsible for the applicable Liabilities; provided, however, that except to the extent expressly provided in any of the other Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor SpinCo or any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to (i) amend or modify any Contract (except as expressly set forth in the foregoing clause (y)), (ii) modify, relinquish, forbear or narrow any right, (iii) contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person, (ii) incur any out of pocket cost or expense, or (iv) commence any Action, in each case in connection with the actions required by the foregoing clauses (x) and (y); provided, further, that the obligation to take any such action shall terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Distribution Date (or, solely with respect to any Delayed Transferred Asset, twelve (12) months after the applicable Transition Support Termination). If the Company or SpinCo is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any required Approval in connection with clause (y) of the preceding sentence, the Company and SpinCo will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the applicable Contract, use reasonable best efforts to enter into

-16-

subcontracting or other arrangements, effective as of the Distribution Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter, to provide to the Parties the economic and operational equivalent of the transfer (or novation) of such Contract to the appropriate Party and the performance by such Party of the obligations under such Contract as of the Distribution Time. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) the Party that is intended to be the counterparty to such Contract, as applicable, will, as agent or subcontractor for the other or the applicable member of the other Party’s Group, pay, perform and discharge fully the Liabilities of the applicable Party or the applicable member of the other Party’s Group thereunder from and after the Distribution Time in accordance with any such alternate arrangement and (ii) the Party that remains the legal counterparty to such Contract, as applicable, will, or will cause the applicable member of such Party’s Group to, at the other Party’s expense, from and after the Distribution Time hold in trust for and pay to the other Party promptly upon receipt thereof all income, proceeds and other consideration received by the legal counterparty (or the applicable member of its Group) in connection with such alternate arrangement; provided that for purposes of this sentence, with respect to any Delayed Transferred Asset, references to the Distribution Time in this sentence will refer instead to the applicable Transition Support Termination. The Party that is intended to be the counterparty to each such Contract shall indemnify the other Party and hold it harmless against any Liabilities arising from the agent or subcontractor relationship described in this paragraph. The Company and SpinCo shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, (i) for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and foreign) income Tax purposes, treat any SpinCo Asset, SpinCo Liability, Separately Conveyed Asset, Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability transferred, assigned or assumed after the Effective Time or after the effective time of the applicable Separate Conveyancing Instrument pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) or Section 2.4 as having been so transferred, assigned or assumed at the time at which it was intended to have been so transferred, assigned or assumed as reflected in this Agreement (including the Separation Step Plan) and/or the applicable Separate Conveyancing Instrument and (ii) file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment and not take any Tax position inconsistent therewith except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that a single Liability may fall within more than one of clauses (i) through (viii) above; such fact does not imply that (a) such Liability shall be transferred more than once or (b) any duplication of such Liability is required.

(vi) all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Action with respect to the SpinCo Business, the SpinCo Assets or the Separately Conveyed Assets, in each case to the extent relating to the period prior to the Distribution Time.

Section 2.4 Non-Transferred and Delayed Transferred Assets and Liabilities.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (x) any SpinCo Asset or Separately Conveyed Asset cannot be assigned or transferred to, or any SpinCo Liability cannot be assumed by, a member of the SpinCo Group without an Approval or Notification or (y) any Excluded Asset cannot be assigned or transferred to, or any Excluded Liability cannot be assumed by a member of the Company Group without an Approval or Notification, and in either case such Approval or Notification has not been obtained or made prior to the Distribution Time, then, unless the Company and SpinCo shall mutually otherwise determine, such assignment, transfer or assumption shall automatically be deemed to be deferred, with any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption deemed null and void until such time as such Approvals are obtained or such Notifications are made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such SpinCo Assets or SpinCo Liabilities shall continue to constitute SpinCo Assets and

-24-

SpinCo Liabilities, and any such Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities shall continue to constitute Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, for all other purposes of this Agreement. If the required Approval is subsequently obtained or such Notification is subsequently made, the relevant Asset will be automatically assigned and transferred to, or the relevant Liability will be automatically assumed by, SpinCo or the Company, as applicable, or a member of the applicable Party’s respective Group designated by such Party without any further action required on the part of any Person, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In furtherance of any such assignment, transfer or assumption pursuant to this Section 2.4(a), and without any additional consideration therefor, each of SpinCo and the Company shall execute and deliver, and cause their Affiliates to execute and deliver, such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect and/or evidence such assignment, transfer or assumption, in each case to the extent reasonably requested by the other (with all of such documents and instruments referred to collectively herein as the “Post-Distribution SpinCo Transfer Documents).”

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to delay the transfer or assignment to SpinCo or one or more of its Subsidiaries of any SpinCo Asset until the applicable Transition Support Termination to allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations under, or to otherwise carry out the contemplated transactions and activities contemplated, by the Transition Services Agreement, the Transition Distribution Services Agreement, or the Transition Contract Manufacturing Agreement, as applicable (each such SpinCo Asset, a “Delayed Transferred Asset”), such Delayed Transferred Asset shall not be transferred or assigned to SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Distribution Time. Upon the applicable Transition Support Termination, the relevant Delayed Transferred Asset shall be automatically assigned and transferred to SpinCo or its Subsidiaries without any further action required on the part of any Party and without any additional consideration, provided, however, if, upon the Transition Support Termination, such Delayed Transferred Asset cannot be assigned or transferred to Buyer without any Approval or Notification, the provisions of this Section 2.4 and Section 2.1(d) shall apply.

Section 2.5 Shared Contracts. The Company and SpinCo will use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period ending twelve (12) months after the Distribution Date to separate any Shared Contracts that are SpinCo Contracts (or take such other action as may be reasonably agreed between the Company and SpinCo) in order to provide for an appropriate allocation of the rights and obligations under such Contracts in line with the allocation of the SpinCo Assets, Excluded Assets, Separately Conveyed Assets, SpinCo Liabilities and Excluded Liabilities between the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to any actions contemplated by any policies, procedures or initiatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of general applicability, pending the separation of each Shared Contract, the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain good relations with any obligees or other counterparties in connection with such Shared Contract, and comply in all material respects with the terms thereof and refrain from voluntarily terminating such Shared Contract.

Section 2.6 Termination of Intercompany Contracts; Settlement of Intercompany Payables and Receivables

(a) Except for (i) this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and each other Contract expressly contemplated by this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Separation Step Plan or the Merger Agreement to be entered into or continued by the Company and SpinCo or any of the members of their respective Groups after the Distribution Time, including the Transfer Documents) and (ii) any Contracts to which any Person, other than the Company, SpinCo and their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries, is a party, in furtherance of the releases and other provisions of Section 5.1, SpinCo and each member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the Company and each member of the Company Group, on the other hand, hereby terminate, effective as of the Distribution Time, all Contracts between or among SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the other hand, that are effective or outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution Time.

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.6(b) and other than any payables, receivables or other intercompany accounts under any Transaction Document, the Company shall, as of the Distribution Time, eliminate all intercompany accounts existing prior to the Distribution Time, whether payables or receivables, between a member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and a member of the Company Group, on the other hand. Any such intercompany accounts that are settled after the Cut-Off Time but in connection with the Reorganization and the Distribution shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been settled as of immediately prior to the Cut-Off Time. Intercompany balances and accounts solely among any members of the SpinCo Group or any members of the Company Group shall not be affected by the above provisions of this Section 2.6(b).

(c) The arrangements described in this Section 2.6 will be eliminated or satisfied, in the Company’s sole discretion, by way of repayment, capital contribution, distribution, forgiveness, offset, or any combination of the foregoing without any further Liability to, or obligation of, each of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the other hand. Following the Distribution Time, no Contract terminated pursuant to Section 2.6(a) (including any provision thereof that purports to survive termination) or intercompany Liability eliminated pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be of any further force or effect from and after the Distribution Time. The Company and its Subsidiaries may take any action they deem reasonably necessary or advisable to effect foregoing

Section 2.7 Certain Adjustments.

(a) Certain Definitions.

(i) “Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment” means (A) if the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital, then a positive amount equal to the full amount of such excess over the Target Net Working Capital, (B) if the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, then a negative amount equal to the full amount of such excess over the Estimated Net Working Capital or (C) zero, other than as set forth in clauses (A) and (B).

-26-

(ii) “Net Working Capital” means as of 11:59:59 p.m. in each applicable time zone on the last calendar day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Cut-Off Time”) (including month end close accounting entries), an amount (which may be a positive or negative number) equal to (i) the current assets of the SpinCo Business, minus (ii) the current liabilities of the SpinCo Business, in each case, which are included in the line item categories specifically identified in Exhibit A, but excluding (A) any assets or liabilities with respect to Taxes, (B) any current liabilities of the SpinCo Business for salary, vacation, incentive pay or other compensatory payments or benefits, to the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provides payments or benefits (or, in the case of incentive pay or other similar compensatory payments, offers to provide such payments or benefits in exchange for a release of claims) of such type, (C) all receivables and payables between any SpinCo Entity and another SpinCo Entity, (D) amounts outstanding pursuant to intercompany accounts, arrangements, understandings or Contracts to be settled or eliminated at or prior to Closing pursuant to Section 2.6, (E) the SpinCo Financing Arrangements, any proceeds thereof, the Reimbursement Obligations and any Reimbursement Obligations Loan (other than any interest payable under any Reimbursement Obligations Loan as of the Closing Date), and any instrument the repayment of which is taken into account in the calculation of the Above Basis Amount, and (F) the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities. The Net Working Capital will be determined in accordance with the accounting principles and methodologies of the Company, consistently applied.

(iii) “Target Net Working Capital” means $63,400,000.

(b) Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to SpinCo and Parent a written report setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Cut-Off Time (such estimate, the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), prepared in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement and together with reasonable supporting documentation. The Company will reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in connection with their review of such written report, including by (i) providing information reasonably necessary or useful in connection with their review of the written report as reasonably requested by Parent, (y) reasonably considering in good faith any revisions to such written report proposed by Parent and (z) revising such written report to reflect any changes mutually agreed by the Company, SpinCo and Parent; provided that no comments provided by Parent shall provide a basis for any delay in the Closing, or shall require any changes to the written report of the Estimated Net Working Capital (or the calculations therein) unless agreed to by the Company.

-27-

(c) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to SpinCo a statement (the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith calculation of the Net Working Capital, together with reasonable supporting detail and prepared in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement;

(d) If SpinCo disagrees with the Company’s calculation of the Net Working Capital set forth in the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, SpinCo will deliver to the Company, within thirty (30) days after receipt by SpinCo of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement (the “Review Period”) a written statement describing each objection thereto and SpinCo’s calculation of the Net Working Capital, including reasonable detail of each item or amount in dispute, the basis for such dispute and the supporting documentation, schedules and calculation (the “Notice of Disagreement””). SpinCo will be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Preliminary Adjustment Statement that are not specifically disputed in the Notice of Disagreement. If SpinCo does not deliver a Notice of Disagreement within the Review Period, SpinCo (and Parent) will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, which will be the “Final Adjustment Statement” for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.7(i).

(e) If SpinCo delivers to the Company a Notice of Disagreement during the Review Period, the Company and SpinCo will attempt to resolve in good faith the matters contained in the Notice of Disagreement within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”). If the Company and SpinCo reach a written resolution with respect to all such matters (if any) on or before the final day of the Resolution Period, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, as modified by such resolution, will be the “Final Adjustment Statement” for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.7(i). If such a resolution is not reached during the Resolution Period, the Company and SpinCo will promptly (no later than five (5) Business Days after the final day of the Resolution Period) retain Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (or, if such firm is not available, another nationally recognized accounting firm reasonably agreed between the Company and SpinCo) (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) and submit any unresolved objections covered by the Notice of Disagreement (the “Disputed Items”) to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with this Section 2.7(e). The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. In no event shall the Company or SpinCo (or Parent) communicate (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to communicate) with the Independent Accounting Firm without providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication. The Company and SpinCo will instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to (A) within thirty (30) days after submission of the Disputed Items, make a final determination with respect to each of the Disputed Items (and only the Disputed Items) that is (1) consistent with the terms of this Agreement and (2) within the range of the respective positions taken by each of the Company and SpinCo and (3) based solely on written submissions of the Company and SpinCo (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) a copy of which shall simultaneously be provided to the other Party, and in accordance with procedures agreed to by the Parties and the Independent Accounting Firm and (B) prepare and deliver to the Company and SpinCo a written statement setting forth its final determination (and a reasonably detailed description of the basis therefor) with respect to each Disputed Item (the “Independent Accounting Firm’s Report”). The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination with respect to each Disputed Item as reflected in the Independent Accounting Firm’s Report will be final, conclusive and binding absent fraud or manifest error. The Preliminary Adjustment Statement, as

-28-

modified by any changes thereto in accordance with any adjustments agreed in writing between the Company and SpinCo during the Resolution Period and the Independent Accounting Firm’s Report, will be the “Final Adjustment Statement” for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.7(i). The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination under this Section 2.7(e) shall be enforceable as an arbitral award, and judgment may be entered thereupon in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(f) Each of SpinCo and the Company will (A) pay its own respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.7 and (B) be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with this Section 2.7 on a pro rata basis based upon the inverse of the degree (measured in dollars) to which the Independent Accounting Firm has accepted the respective positions of SpinCo and the Company (which will be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm and set forth in the Independent Accounting Firm’s Report). For example, if the Independent Accounting Firm determines that it accepted seventy percent (70%) of the position of the Company, the Company will pay thirty percent (30%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and SpinCo will pay the remaining seventy percent (70%) of such fees and expenses.

(g) In connection with the matters set forth in this Section 2.7, during the Review Period and Resolution Period, if applicable, the Company and its Representatives shall, subject to execution of customary access letters (if applicable), be provided access to all relevant work papers, schedules and other supporting documents prepared by Parent, SpinCo or their Representatives and used in connection with the calculation of the Net Working Capital and access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice and in a manner that does not adversely interfere with the conduct of Parent’s or SpinCo’s business, any other information in Parent or SpinCo’s possession which the Company reasonably requests, and Parent and SpinCo shall, and shall cause their Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with the Company and its Representatives in connection therewith.

(h) The Company and SpinCo agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 for resolving disputes with respect to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the calculation of Net Working Capital shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit any party from instituting litigation to enforce this Section 2.7, including any decision pursuant to the terms hereof by the Independent Accounting Firm in any court of competent jurisdiction. The substance of the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent a showing of fraud or manifest error. It is the intent of the Parties to have any determination of Disputed Items by the Independent Accounting Firm proceed in an expeditious manner; provided, however, that any deadline or time period contained herein may be extended or modified by agreement of the Parties and the Parties agree that the failure of the Independent Accounting Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Independent Accounting Firm.

-29-

(i) The Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Adjustment Statement is referred to herein as the “Final Net Working Capital”. Within five (5) Business Days after the determination of Final Net Working Capital pursuant to this Section 2.7, (i) if the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, SpinCo will pay to the Company the amount of such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Company, or (ii) if the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Final Net Working Capital, the Company will pay to SpinCo the amount of such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by SpinCo. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.7(i) shall be treated as an adjustment to the SpinCo Payment for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and foreign) income tax purposes.

(j) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no changes shall be made (including any changes reflected in the Final Net Working Capital) in any reserve or other account existing as of the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the SpinCo Financial Information or other amount reflected in such balance sheet, except as a result of events occurring after such date and prior to the Distribution Time and, in such event, only in a manner consistent with the past practice of the SpinCo Business using the same accounting principles, practices, policies, procedures and methodologies (with consistent classifications, judgments, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies) used and applied in the preparation of the SpinCo Financial Information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Estimated Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital shall (i) not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) be based on facts and circumstances as they exist up to the Distribution Time and shall exclude the effect of any act, decision or event occurring after the Distribution Time (other than the determination of the Final Net Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.7).

Section 2.8 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations. After the Distribution Time, SpinCo shall pay the Company an amount of cash equal to 100% of the Reimbursement Obligations (such payment to be made promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of delivery by the Company of a written request therefor accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation evidencing such Reimbursement Obligations). Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.8 that is not on account of an advance by the Company to SpinCo prior to the date of any such payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the SpinCo Payment for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and foreign) income tax purposes and shall be made in immediately available funds in United States dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the Party entitled to receive the payment.

Section 2.9 Wrong Pockets; Mail and Other Communications; Payments.

(a) After the Distribution Time, if either SpinCo or Parent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, or any of their respective Subsidiaries becomes aware that any of the SpinCo Assets have not been transferred, assigned or conveyed to SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries or that any of the Excluded Assets have not been retained by or transferred, assigned or conveyed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the SpinCo Entities), it will promptly notify the other Party and the Parties will cooperate in good faith to as promptly as reasonably practicable transfer the relevant asset to the appropriate Party at the expense of the Party who would have been responsible for the related expenses if such asset had been transferred at the Distribution Time.

-30-

(b) After the Distribution Time, each of the Company, SpinCo and the members of their respective Groups may receive mail, packages, facsimiles, email and other communications properly belonging to the other (or the other’s Subsidiaries). Accordingly, each of the Company and SpinCo and the members of their respective Groups authorizes the Company and the other members of the Company Group, on the one hand, or SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, as the case may be, to receive and, if not unambiguously intended for such other Party (or any member of its Group) or any of such other Party’s (or any member of its Group’s) officers or directors, open (acting solely as agent for the other Party), all mail, packages, facsimiles, email and other communications received by it, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate to the business of the receiving Party or, to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages, facsimiles, email or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party. The provisions of this Section 2.9 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by any of the Company, SpinCo or the members of their respective Groups to (i) permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and neither party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes or (ii) waive any rights or privileges in respect of any such mail, package, facsimile, email or other communication or the information contained therein.

(c) The Company shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, promptly pay or deliver to SpinCo (or its designated Affiliates) any monies or checks that have been sent to or that are received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Distribution Time, including by or from any customers, suppliers or other commercial counterparties of the SpinCo Business or the SpinCo Group, to the extent that they constitute SpinCo Assets.

(d) SpinCo shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, promptly pay or deliver to the Company (or its designated Subsidiaries) any monies or checks that have been sent to SpinCo or any of its Affiliates (including the SpinCo Business and the SpinCo Group) after the Distribution Time to the extent that they constitute an Excluded Asset and are the property of the Company or its Subsidiaries hereunder.

Section 2.10 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. EACH OF THE COMPANY (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE COMPANY GROUP), SPINCO (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP), AND PARENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE MERGER AGREEMENT IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR THERETO IN ANY WAY AS TO THE ASSETS, BUSINESSES OR LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY; AS TO ANY APPROVALS OR NOTIFICATIONS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH; AS TO THE VALUE OR FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTERESTS OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING, ANY ASSETS OF SUCH PARTY; AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFENSES OR RIGHT OF SETOFF OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR OTHER ASSET, INCLUDING ANY ACCOUNTS

-31-

RECEIVABLE, OF ANY PARTY; OR AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY OF ANY ASSIGNMENT, DOCUMENT, CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE MERGER AGREEMENT TO CONVEY TITLE TO ANY ASSET OR THING OF VALUE UPON THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND FILING HEREOF OR THEREOF. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, ALL SUCH ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SPINCO HEREBY WAIVES AND DISCLAIMS ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE AGAINST THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSFER OF ANY INTEREST IN ANY REAL PROPERTY PERTAINING TO DISCLOSURE OF RELEASES OR SUSPECTED RELEASES, THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES WITHIN ANY BUILDING OR FACILITY OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

Following the Distribution Time, SpinCo shall provide the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonable access and assistance during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice, to permit the removal of such Excluded Assets (including any such Excluded Assets identified after such one hundred eighty (180) day period). Except with respect to claims arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of SpinCo or its Affiliates, neither SpinCo nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the storage at, or removal from, the SpinCo Real Property of such Excluded Assets.

(b) SpinCo shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, remove any SpinCo Assets and Separately Conveyed Assets located at any facility of the Company or its Subsidiaries, other than the SpinCo Real Property, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Distribution Date, unless the SpinCo Asset or Separately Conveyed Assets (including any Delayed Transfer Assets) would reasonably be expected to be used by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with any Transaction Document, in which case, such removal will occur within one hundred eighty (180) days following the termination or expiration of the relevant term of (or relevant service set forth in) the applicable Transaction Document; provided, that, in either case, such one hundred eighty (180) day period may be extended as reasonably necessary as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measure.

The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to Books and Records, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement and the transfer of privileged Books and Records between the Parties and members of their respective Groups 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.

(a) Except (i) as provided in Section 5.1(c), (ii) as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement and (iii) for any matter for which any Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution pursuant to Article VI, effective as of the Distribution Time, SpinCo and Parent do hereby, in each case for itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Distribution Time have been directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the SpinCo Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), remise, release and forever discharge the Company and the other members of the Company Group, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Distribution Time have been stockholders, members, partners, directors, managers, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Company Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Company Released Persons”), from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, to the extent existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed, in each case, at or prior to the Distribution Time, including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Reorganization, the Distribution, the SpinCo Financing Arrangements, the Merger and any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Merger Agreement.

-45-

of the SpinCo Group, and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, now has or in the future may have conferred upon them by virtue of any statute or common law principle which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such party’s settlement with the obligor. In this connection, SpinCo hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Liabilities that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and it further agrees that this release has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness and it nevertheless hereby intends to release the Company Released Persons from the Liabilities described in the first sentence of this Section 5.1(a).

Without limitation, the foregoing release includes a release of any rights and benefits with respect to such Liabilities that the Company and each member of the Company Group, and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, now has or in the future may have conferred upon them by virtue of any statute or common law principle which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such party’s settlement with the obligor. In this connection, the Company hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Liabilities that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and it further agrees that this release has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness and it nevertheless hereby intends to release the SpinCo Released Persons from the Liabilities described in the first sentence of this Section 5.1(b).

-46-

(c) Nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) shall impair or otherwise impact any right of any Party, and as applicable, any member of such Party’s Group, to enforce this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Merger Agreement or any Contracts that are specified in Section 2.6(a), in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) shall release any Person from:

(i) any Liability provided in or resulting from (A) any Transaction Document, (B) the Merger Agreement or (C) any Contract among any members of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group that is specified in Section 2.6 as not terminating as of the Distribution Time or any other Liability specified in Section 2.6 as not terminating as of the Distribution Time;

(ii) any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with, or any other Liability of any member of any Group under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement;

(iii) any Liability for the sale, lease, construction or receipt of goods, property or services purchased, obtained or used in the ordinary course of business by a member of one Group from a member of the other Group prior to the Distribution Time;

(vi) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise for claims brought against the Parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of Article VI and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the other Transaction Documents or the Merger Agreement; or

(vii) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than the Persons released pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b).

In addition, nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) shall release: (A) the Company from indemnifying any director, officer or employee of the SpinCo Group who was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Distribution Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification from a member of the Company Group pursuant to then-existing obligations, it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a SpinCo Liability, SpinCo shall indemnify the Company for such Liability (including the Company’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article VI; and (B) SpinCo from indemnifying any director, officer or employee of the Company Group who was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Distribution Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to

-47-

which he or she was entitled to such indemnification from a member of the SpinCo Group pursuant to then-existing obligations, it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is an Excluded Liability, the Company shall indemnify SpinCo for such Liability (including SpinCo’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article VI.

(d) SpinCo shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the SpinCo Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against the Company or any member of the Company Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(a). The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the Company Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(b).

(e) It is the intent of each of the Company and SpinCo, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 5.1, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed prior to the Distribution Time, between or among SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the other hand, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.1(c). From and after the Distribution Time, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting such provisions at the request of the other Party.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION, GUARANTEES AND LITIGATION

Section 6.1 General Indemnification by SpinCo. SpinCo shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Company Group and each of their respective directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Company Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication) (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnification Obligations”):

(a) any SpinCo Liability;

(b) the failure of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any SpinCo Liabilities, whether prior to, at or after the Distribution Time;

(c) except to the extent it relates to an Excluded Liability, any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding to the extent discharged or performed by any member of the Company Group for the benefit of any member of the SpinCo Group that survives the Distribution Time;

-48-

(d) any breach by any member of the SpinCo Group of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents after the Distribution Time (other than any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification provisions, which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in such Transaction Document to the extent in conflict with the terms of this Agreement); and

(e) any Liabilities arising out of claims made by the securityholders or lenders of a Party or any of their Affiliates to the extent relating to the use of any information provided by or on behalf of Parent in writing prior to the Distribution Time in connection with the Financing or the Permanent Financing.

Section 6.2 General Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the SpinCo Group and Parent (after the Distribution Time), each of their respective directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the SpinCo Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication) (collectively, the “Company Indemnification Obligations”):

(a) any Excluded Liability;

(b) the failure of the Company or any other member of the Company Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Excluded Liabilities, whether prior to, at or after the Distribution Time;

(c) except to the extent it relates to a SpinCo Liability, any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding by any member of the SpinCo Group for the benefit of any member of the Company Group that survives the Distribution Time;

(d) any breach by any member of the Company Group of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents after the Distribution Time (other than any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification provisions, which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in such Transaction Document to the extent in conflict with the terms of this Agreement);

(e) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the SpinCo Group directly arising from the SpinCo Group’s satisfaction in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice of the SpinCo Business prior to the Distribution Time, of the Post-Closing Performance Obligations, as reasonably set forth in writing to the Company; and

(f) Liabilities arising out of claims made by the securityholders or lenders of a Party or any of their Affiliates to the extent relating to the use of any information provided by or on behalf of the Company, SpinCo, or any of their Subsidiaries in writing prior to the Distribution Time in connection with the Financing or the Permanent Financing.

-49-

Section 6.3 Contribution. If the indemnification otherwise provided for in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 with respect to Liabilities incurred under any securities Laws, is as a matter of applicable Law unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of such Liabilities for which they would otherwise be indemnified hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party in respect of such non-indemnified Liabilities in proportion to the relative fault and benefit of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party.

Section 6.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article VI will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability. Accordingly, the amount which the Company, or SpinCo, as applicable (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to such Insurance Proceeds but not exceeding the amount of the Indemnity Payment paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Liability.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds or other indemnification, contribution or similar payments to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided that the Indemnified Party’s ability or inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to indemnify any SpinCo Indemnified Party for any Liability pursuant to Section 6.2 if and to the extent such Liability was reflected in the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital.

Section 6.5 Certain Matters Relating to Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnified Party receives written notice that a Person that is not a member of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group has asserted any claim or commenced any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) that may implicate an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, or any other Section of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than any

-50-

Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification provisions, which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in such Transaction Document to the extent in conflict with the terms of this Agreement), the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as practicable (and no later than twenty (20) days) after becoming aware of the Third-Party Claim. Such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to provide notice in accordance with this Section 6.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 6.5(a).

(b) Subrogation. To the extent an indemnification or contribution payment is made by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any right, defense or claim which such Indemnified Party may have relating to such Third-Party Claim. Subject to Section 6.9, such Indemnified Party 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, defense or claim.

Section 6.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article VI shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnified Party, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such payment (including where reasonably practicable an itemization of costs and expenses, attorney invoices and supporting documentation from other vendors in the form reviewed by the Indemnified Party, and any applicable orders, judgments or settlement agreements). The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnified Party of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Agreement.

(b) Any claim for indemnification under this Article VI other than in respect of a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility for such indemnification obligation. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as applicable) (other than any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification provisions, which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in such Transaction Document to the extent in conflict with the terms of this Agreement), without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution under this Agreement.

-51-

(c) The provisions of this Article VI (other than this Section 6.6(c)) shall not apply with respect to Taxes and Tax matters (it being understood and agreed that Taxes and Tax matters, including the control of Tax-related proceedings, shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement).

(d) Each Indemnified Party will (and will cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to mitigate and minimize any Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI promptly upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to such Losses.

Section 6.7 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnified Party for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification, damages or remedy provisions, which Transaction Documents shall be subject to the indemnification, damages or remedy provisions contained in such Transaction Document to the extent in conflict with the terms of this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereby waives, for itself and its respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have against the other Party and its Affiliates, successors and assigns for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification, damages or remedy provisions, which Transaction Documents shall be subject to the indemnification, damages or remedy provisions contained in such Transaction Document to the extent in conflict with the terms of this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article VI. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not affect (a) a Party’s right to seek specific performance under this Agreement as provided in Section 9.10 or to seek resolution of any disputes regarding indemnification hereunder as provided in Article VIII, (b) a Party’s right to exercise all of their rights and seek all damages available to them under Law in the event of claims or causes of action arising from Fraud and (c) any Transaction Document that expressly contains indemnification, damages or remedy provisions, which shall be subject to the indemnification, damages or remedy provisions contained therein and not this Article VI. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.7 are not intended to, and will not be deemed to, alter or supersede the indemnification, damages or remedy provisions contained in any of the Transition Services Agreement, the Transition Contract Manufacturing Agreement or the Transition Distribution Services Agreement.

-52-

Section 6.8 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of the Company and SpinCo and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 6.9 Management of Actions. This Section 6.9 shall govern the direction of pending and future Actions in which members of the SpinCo Group or the Company Group are named as parties, but shall not alter the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II unless expressly set forth in this Section 6.9.

(a) Management of SpinCo Controlled Actions. From and after the Distribution Time, the SpinCo Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any Actions that constitute only SpinCo Liabilities, SpinCo Assets or Separately Conveyed Assets (“SpinCo Controlled Actions”). If an Action that constitutes solely a SpinCo Liability, a SpinCo Asset or a Separately Conveyed Asset is commenced after the Distribution Time naming a member of the Company Group as a party thereto, then SpinCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the Company Group to be removed as a party to such Action. Neither the Company, on the one hand, or SpinCo or Parent, on the other hand, shall add the other to any Action pending as of the Distribution Time without the prior written consent of such other Party.

(b) Management of Company Controlled Actions. From and after the Distribution Time, the Company Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule 6.9(b) and (ii) any other Actions that constitute only Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets (“Company Controlled Actions”). If an Action that constitutes solely an Excluded Liability or an Excluded Asset is commenced after the Distribution Time naming a member of the SpinCo Group as a party thereto, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such member of the SpinCo Group to be removed as a party to such Action.

(c) Management of Actions Naming Both SpinCo and the Company. From and after the Distribution Time, in the event that one or more member(s) of the SpinCo Group and one or more member(s) of the Company Group is named in an Action that is neither a SpinCo Controlled Action nor a Company Controlled Action (a “Separate Action”), each of SpinCo and the Company shall be entitled to assume their own defense and select counsel of their own choosing to defend their respective interests in such Separate Action. SpinCo and the Company shall consult in good faith with each other regarding the management of the defense of each Separate Action.

(d) Management of Mixed Actions. From and after the Distribution Time, any Action that constitutes both a SpinCo Liability, a SpinCo Asset or a Separately Conveyed Asset, on the one hand, and an Excluded Liability or an Excluded Asset, on the other hand and that do not constitute a SpinCo Controlled Action, Company Controlled Action or a Separate Action (clauses (i) and (ii), “Mixed Action”) shall be managed by the Party with the greater financial exposure with respect thereto (taking into account the provisions of this Article VI), as determined in good faith by the Company and SpinCo; provided that any outside counsel employed by a Party managing the Action with respect thereto shall be subject to the approval of the other Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that if the Action involves the pursuit of any criminal sanctions or penalties or seeks equitable or injunctive relief against any Party or Subsidiary of a Party, that Party shall be

-53-

entitled to control the defense of the claim against such Party. The Company and SpinCo shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other, and to the extent necessary or advisable, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for the Company and SpinCo and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect to Mixed Actions. The Party managing such Mixed Action shall on a quarterly basis, or if a material development occurs as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, inform the other Party of the status of and developments relating to any Mixed Action and provide copies of any material document, notices or other materials related to such Mixed Action; provided that the failure to provide any such information shall not be a basis for liability of a Party managing such Mixed Action except and solely to the extent the other Party shall have been actually prejudiced thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and SpinCo may jointly retain counsel (in which case the cost of counsel shall be shared equally by the Company and SpinCo) or retain separate counsel (in which case each Party will bear the cost of its separate counsel) with respect to any Mixed Action; provided that the Company and SpinCo shall share discovery and other joint litigation costs in proportion to their respective expected financial exposure (in the case of Actions that constitute both a SpinCo Liability and an Excluded Liability) or respective expected financial recovery (in the case of Actions that constitute both a SpinCo Asset or a Separately Conveyed Asset, on the one hand, and an Excluded Asset, on the other hand). In any Mixed Action, each of the Company and SpinCo may pursue separate defenses, claims, counterclaims or settlements to those claims relating to the Company Business or the SpinCo Business, respectively; provided that each Party shall in good faith make all reasonable efforts to avoid adverse effects on the other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) if a judgment is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the Company and SpinCo shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Liabilities in respect of such judgment between them based on the proportion of such Liabilities attributable to the Company Business and the SpinCo Business; and (B) if a recovery is obtained with respect to a Mixed Action, the Company and SpinCo shall endeavor in good faith to allocate the Assets in respect of such recovery between them based on their respective injuries. A Party that is not named as a defendant in a Mixed Action may elect to become a party to such Mixed Action, and the Party named in such Mixed Action shall reasonably cooperate to have such first Party named in such Mixed Action.

(e) Delegation of Rights of Recovery. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the rights to recovery of each Party’s Subsidiaries in respect of any past, present or future Action are hereby delegated to such Party. It is the intent of the Parties that the foregoing delegation shall satisfy any Law requiring such delegation to be effected pursuant to a power of attorney or similar instrument. The Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall execute such further instruments or documents as may be necessary to effect such delegation.

Section 6.10 Settlement of Actions. No Party managing an Action pursuant to Section 6.9 shall settle or compromise such Action (other than the Company with respect to Company Controlled Actions and SpinCo with respect to SpinCo Controlled Actions) without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that if the Party managing the Action is indemnifying the other Party, such managing Party may nevertheless settle such Action without such consent, unless such settlement or compromise would (i) result in any non-monetary remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of the other Party’s Group or (ii) contain or involve an admission or statement providing for or acknowledging any liability or criminal wrongdoing on behalf of the other Party’s Group or any of its Affiliates. No settlement or compromise in respect of any Action shall be made or consented to by any Party not managing an Action pursuant to Section 6.9 without the express written consent of the Party managing such Action.

-54-

Section 6.11 Limitation on Certain Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and except to the extent such Losses are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owned to an unaffiliated third party in connection with a Third-Party Claim, no Party nor its Affiliates shall be liable under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as expressly provided in any such other Transaction Document) to the other Party for any Losses that are punitive, incidental, consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages (including loss of future profits, revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity, diminution in value and any damages based on any type of multiple), whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages and whether or not such damages are reasonably foreseeable. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.11 do not apply to the Transition Services Agreement, the Transition Contract Manufacturing Agreement or the Transition Distribution Services Agreement, each of which shall be subject to the indemnification, damages and remedies provisions contained therein.

ARTICLE VII

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1 Further Assurances. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, at and following the Distribution Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or Contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 7.2 Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Distribution Time, subject to Section 7.2(c) and except as contemplated by this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, including attorneys, advisors and other representatives of any Person providing financing (collectively, “Representatives”), not to, directly or indirectly, disclose to any Person, other than Representatives of the Company or its Affiliates who reasonably need to know such information in providing services to any member of the Company Group, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person, any SpinCo Confidential Information. If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the Company Group under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement, then the SpinCo Confidential Information so disclosed shall be used only as required to perform the services. The Company shall use the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of the SpinCo Confidential Information by any of its Representatives as it currently uses for its own confidential information, but in no

-55-

event less than a reasonable standard of care. For purposes of this Section 7.2(a), any Books and Records to the extent relating to the SpinCo Business, furnished to or otherwise in the possession of any member of the Company Group as a result of or in connection with the Reorganization or Distribution or the performance of any Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement, irrespective of the form of communication, and the portion of any notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by the Company, any member of the Company Group or their respective officers, directors and Affiliates, to the extent they contain or otherwise reflect such Books and Records, is hereinafter referred to as “SpinCo Confidential Information.” SpinCo Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation under this Agreement with respect to, Books and Records or other information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by any member of the Company Group not otherwise permissible under this Agreement, (ii) becomes available to the Company after the Distribution Time from a source other than SpinCo or its Affiliates, provided that such source was not known by the Company to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group with respect to such Books and Records or other information, or (iii) is developed independently by a member of the Company Group without use or reference to the SpinCo Confidential Information.

(b) From and after the Distribution Time, subject to Section 7.2(c) and except as contemplated by this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement, SpinCo shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, disclose to any Person, other than Representatives of SpinCo or its Affiliates who reasonably need to know such information in providing services to any member of the SpinCo Group, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person, any Company Confidential Information. If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement, then the Company Confidential Information so disclosed shall be used only as required to perform the services. SpinCo shall use the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company Confidential Information by any of its Representatives as it currently uses for its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. For purposes of this Section 7.2(a), any Books and Records to the extent relating to the Company Business, furnished to or otherwise in the possession of any member of the SpinCo Group as a result of or in connection with the Reorganization or Distribution or the performance of any Transaction Document or the Merger Agreement, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by SpinCo, any member of the SpinCo Group or their respective officers, directors and Affiliates, to the extent they contain or otherwise reflect such Books and Records, is hereinafter referred to as “Company Confidential Information.” Company Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation under this Agreement with respect to, Books and Records that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by any member of the SpinCo Group not otherwise permissible under this Agreement, (ii) becomes available to SpinCo after the Distribution Time from a source other than the Company or its Affiliates; provided that such source was not known by SpinCo to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any member of the Company Group with respect to such Books and Records, or (iii) is developed independently by a member of the SpinCo Group without use or reference to the Company Confidential Information.

-56-

(c) If a member of the Company Group, on the one hand, or a member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, is requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or applicable Law to disclose or provide any SpinCo Confidential Information or Company Confidential Information (other than with respect to any such Books and Records furnished pursuant to the provisions of Article IV), as applicable, the Person receiving such request or demand shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Party with written notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable so that such other Party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order. The Party receiving such request or demand shall take, and cause its Representatives to take, at the requesting Party’s expense, all other reasonable steps necessary to obtain confidential treatment by the recipient. Subject to the foregoing, the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide any SpinCo Confidential Information or Company Confidential Information, as the case may be, to the extent required by such Governmental Authority or applicable Law (as so advised by counsel).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2, to the extent that the treatment, maintenance, use, non-use, license, disclosure or non-disclosure of any SpinCo Confidential Information or Company Confidential Information is expressly addressed in any Transaction Document, the applicable terms of such Transaction Document will control in such situations. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary, (i) Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries may retain certain residual knowledge of the SpinCo Confidential Information, and (ii) Transferred Employees and contractors may retain certain residual knowledge of the Company Confidential Information, in each case that are or may be indistinguishable from generalized industry knowledge and, accordingly, each Party acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall prohibit any Party (or its Affiliates) from using or otherwise exploiting for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third Person such residual knowledge; provided, that (1) such residual knowledge has been retained solely in the unaided memory of such Representatives or Transferred Employees or contractors (in each case, without intentional memorization) in intangible form and without use, copying or reference to any documented or tangible copies of SpinCo Confidential Information or Company Confidential Information, as applicable, (2) the foregoing will not be deemed in any event to provide any right for any member of the Company Group to infringe any SpinCo Intellectual Property or any rights of any third parties that have licensed or provided materials to the SpinCo Business, or otherwise to grant any license with respect to any SpinCo Intellectual Property (which rights shall be solely contained in the Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement), (3) the foregoing will not be deemed in any event to provide SpinCo with any right to infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of the Company or any rights of any third parties that have licensed or provided material to the Company, or otherwise to grant any license with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights of the Company, and (4) other than as expressly set forth in any Transaction Document, any use of such residual knowledge is on an “as is, where is” basis, with all faults and all representations and warranties disclaimed and at the sole risk of such Representatives, the Company, SpinCo, Parent and each Parties’ Affiliates, as applicable.

-57-

Section 7.3 Insurance Matters. SpinCo and Parent acknowledge that the Insurance Policies and insurance coverage maintained in favor of the SpinCo Business, the SpinCo Group, the SpinCo Assets and the Separately Conveyed Assets are part of the corporate insurance program maintained by the Company Group and its Affiliates (such policies, the “Corporate Policies”), and such coverage will not be available or transferred to the SpinCo Group. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, SpinCo and Parent agree, and agree to cause the other members of the SpinCo Group, not to bring any claim for recovery under any of the Corporate Policies, whether or not such Person may be so entitled in accordance with the terms of such Corporate Policies; provided that SpinCo, Parent and their Affiliates will reasonably cooperate with the Company (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) to bring any claim under any Corporate Policy to the extent reasonably requested by the Company, and to promptly pay under proceeds received in respect of any such claim to (or as directed by) the Company. It is understood that the Company shall be free at its discretion at any time from and after the Distribution Time to cancel or not renew any of the Corporate Policies.

Section 7.4 Separation Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, in any other Transaction Document or in the Merger Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred by the Parties, including in connection with the Reorganization, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be borne by the Party that has incurred such fees and expenses.

Section 7.5 Transaction Documents. Effective on or prior to the Distribution Time, each of the Company and SpinCo will, or will cause the applicable members of its Group to, execute and deliver the Tax Matters Agreement, the Transition Contract Manufacturing Agreement, the Transition Distribution Services Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Transitional Trademark License Agreement, the Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement, the Clean-Trace Agreement and the Real Estate License Agreement(s). To the extent that the provisions of any of the other Transaction Documents conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of such other agreement or agreements shall govern with respect to the subject matter addressed thereby to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency. For illustrative purposes, the Parties intend that (a) to the extent set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement and unless otherwise provided therein, any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements (including agreements as to the allocation of Assets and Liabilities, to the extent addressed therein) between the Parties with respect to employment matters or matters relating to compensation and benefits shall be governed exclusively by the Employee Matters Agreement and (b) if there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and a provision in the Tax Matters Agreement in relation to a matter addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the provision of the Tax Matters Agreement shall control.

Section 7.6 Interest on Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement shall accrue interest of 4.0% per annum, or, if less, the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable Law in the applicable jurisdiction, compounded quarterly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall any Party be obligated pursuant to the foregoing sentence to pay interest at a rate exceeding the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable Law in any applicable jurisdiction. If, by the terms of such foregoing sentence, any Party would otherwise be obligated at any time to pay interest at a rate in excess of the such maximum interest rate in such applicable jurisdiction, the interest payable shall be recomputed and reduced to such maximum interest rate, and the portion of all prior interest payments exceeding such maximum rate shall be applied to payment of the underlying principal amount.

-58-

Section 7.7 Determination of Basis Amount. No later than five (5) Business Days before the Distribution, the Company will deliver its determination of the Basis Amount to Parent. Subject to the proviso in the definition of “Basis Amount,” such determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

Section 7.8 No Disposition of Garden UK. Prior to the Distribution Date and until (and including) the 30th day after the Distribution Date, Parent will not enter into any arrangements to (a) transfer or otherwise dispose of the legal or beneficial ownership of any equity interests of Garden UK or (b) transfer legal or beneficial ownership of any of the assets or business of Garden UK from Garden UK. For the avoidance of doubt references to transfers or disposals include transfers between or among Parent and its Subsidiaries and otherwise.

Section 7.9 Cooperation. Between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing Date and valid termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, at their own cost and expense, cooperate and work together in good faith to prepare and plan for the smooth and orderly transition of the SpinCo Business to Parent (including the provision and receipt of the Transition Services, Contract Manufacturing Services, and Transition Distribution Activities set forth in the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable forms of Transaction Documents); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that neither Party shall be required to agree to any amendment, modification or other change to such forms of Transaction Documents (except to the extent that further modifications or changes to such forms of Transaction Documents are expressly contemplated to occur prior to Closing as described in the applicable forms of such Transaction Documents and the Exhibits, Annexes, Schedules and notes therein, including with respect to the Transition Services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement) in connection with the cooperation process described in this Section 7.9. In furtherance of the foregoing, between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing Date and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.15, (a) the Parties will work together to evaluate and discuss the addition of services which would qualify as “Omitted Services” (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) and, upon request by Parent, such services will be added as a Transition Service under the Transition Service Agreement, if such service would be eligible to be added as an Omitted Service under Section 2.2 of the Transition Services Agreement, in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, contemplated by Section 2.2 of the Transition Services Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall any Out-of-Scope Services be eligible to be added as a Transition Service), and (b) the Parties will ensure that appropriate Representatives of the Company or Parent and their respective Affiliates (as applicable) with sufficient knowledge and qualifications to prepare and plan for the transition of the operations of the SpinCo Business shall participate in transition service planning meetings (in-person or virtually) on a regular basis as reasonably agreed between the Company and Parent, to (i) discuss the overall status and plans for the transition of the SpinCo Business to Parent and the Transition Services, and the addition of services as described above, and (ii) discuss such other matters as may be reasonably agreed between Parent and the Company. The Parties agree that the Out-of-Scope Services listed on Annex B to the Transition Services Agreement as of the date hereof shall not be added to or expanded upon prior to the Closing Date.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

Section 8.1 Disputes. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Transaction Document and subject to Section 9.10, the procedures for discussion, negotiation and mediation set forth in this Article VIII shall apply to all disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby on or prior to the Distribution Time, including the Contribution (but not including the Merger Agreement or the Merger)), or the commercial or economic relationship of the Parties relating hereto or thereto, between or among any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and any member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand (any such dispute, controversies, or claims, a “Dispute”). Any indemnification, limitations on remedies, and limitations on liabilities expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be governed by such express provisions therein and not by this Article VIII.

Section 8.2 Escalation; Mediation.

(a) It is the intent of the Parties to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any Dispute that may arise from time to time on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, any Party involved in a Dispute with respect to such matters (except as otherwise specifically provided in any Transaction Document) may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding a meeting involving representatives of the Parties at a senior level of management of the Parties (or if the Parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity), and which initial representatives shall be Group President, Health Care Business Group (Mojdeh Poul) and Senior Vice President, Corporate Development (Xxxxx Will) of the Company and President and CEO of Parent (Xxxx Xxxxx). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the General Counsel, or like officer or official, of each Party involved in the Dispute (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between the Parties may be established by the Parties from time to time; provided, however, that the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to meet within thirty (30) days of the Escalation Notice.

(b) If the Parties are not able to resolve the Dispute through the escalation process set forth in Section 8.2(a) within thirty (30) days of the Escalation Notice for such Dispute or the Company, on the one hand, or SpinCo and Parent, on the other, reasonably concludes that the other Party is not willing to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously such Dispute, then each Party shall have the right to refer the Dispute to mediation by providing written notice to the other Party. If either Party refers the Dispute to mediation pursuant to the prior sentence, then the Parties shall retain a mediator to aid the Parties in their discussions and negotiations by informally providing advice to the Parties. Unless mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, any opinion expressed or delivered by the mediator shall be

-60-

strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the Parties, nor shall any opinion expressed or delivered by the mediator be admissible in any other proceeding. The mediator may be chosen from a list of mediators previously selected by the Parties or by other agreement of the Parties. If a mediator cannot be agreed upon by the Parties within ten (10) days of a Party providing written notice of mediation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.2(b), then each of the Company and SpinCo shall nominate a mediator, and those two (2) mediators will select a third (3rd) mediator who shall act as the mediator for such Dispute. Costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the Parties involved in the matter, except that each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses. Mediation shall be a prerequisite to the commencement of any action by a Party; provided that no Party shall be required to engage in more than 90 days of mediation prior to commencing an Action.

Section 8.3 Court Actions. In the event that any Party, after complying with the provisions set forth in Section 8.2, desires to commence an Action, such Party, subject to Section 9.3 and Section 9.11, may submit the Dispute (or such series of related Disputes) to any court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9.3.

Section 8.4 Conduct during Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective members of their Group to, continue to honor all covenants and agreements under this Agreement and each Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, unless such covenants or agreements are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Corporate Power; Facsimile Signatures.

(a) The Company represents on behalf of itself and on behalf of other members of the Company Group, SpinCo represents on behalf of itself and on behalf of other members of the SpinCo Group, and Parent represents on behalf of itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, as follows:

(i) each such Person has the requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a Party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(ii) this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which it is a Party has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that it and each other Party is executing certain of the Transaction Documents by facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature, and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (whether executed by manual, stamp or mechanical signature) by facsimile or by

-61-

email in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Each Party expressly adopts and confirms each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature (regardless of whether delivered in person, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by email in .pdf) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind such Party to the same extent as if it were signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other Party at any time, it will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause each such Transaction Document to be manually executed (any such execution to be as of the date of the initial date thereof) and delivered in person, by mail or by courier.

Section 9.2 Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, and liability for the breach of any covenants and other agreements contained herein or therein, shall survive each of the Reorganization, the Distribution and the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 9.3 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims, disputes, controversies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto) or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim, dispute, controversy or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), and, unless expressly provided therein, each other Transaction Document, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the Company and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group agrees that any Action related to this Agreement, unless expressly provided therein, each other Transaction Document, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law, exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court in the State of Delaware and any appellate court from any thereof (the “Chosen Courts”). By executing and delivering this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably: (i) accepts generally and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any Action contemplated by this Section 9.3; (ii) waives any objections which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action contemplated by this Section 9.3 and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (iv) agrees that it will not bring any Action contemplated by this Section 9.3 in any court other than the Chosen Courts; (v) agrees that service of all process, including the summons and complaint, in any Action may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to such party at their respective addresses provided in accordance with Section 9.4 or in any other manner permitted by Law; and (vi) agrees that service as provided in the preceding clause (v) is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over such party in the Action, and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such Action in a Chosen

-62-

Court as provided above may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law, and each party further agrees to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the enforcement or execution of any such judgment.

Section 9.4 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications among the Parties under this Agreement and, unless otherwise provided therein, the other Transaction Documents shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) when delivered after posting in the national mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (c) when delivered by FedEx or other internationally recognized overnight delivery service or (d) when delivered by facsimile (solely if receipt is confirmed) or email (so long as the sender of such email does not receive an automatic reply from the recipient’s email server indicating that the recipient did not receive such email), addressed as follows (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9.4):

Section 9.5 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be considered in interpreting or construing any of the provisions contained in this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter; provided, however, for the sake of clarity, it is understood that this Agreement shall not supersede the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive and remain in effect until expiration or termination thereof in accordance with its respective terms; provided, that, following the Effective Time, Parent shall have no obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to information to the extent related to the SpinCo Entities or the SpinCo Business and included in the SpinCo Assets, which information shall no longer be considered “Evaluation Material” for purposes thereof (provided further that the foregoing shall in no way diminish, eliminate or alter any obligation of Parent with respect to any other Evaluation Material).

Section 9.7 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as otherwise provided therein) may be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto or thereto, as applicable. In addition, unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any such amendment or modification shall be subject to the written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 9.8 Waivers of Default. A waiver by a Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving, and provided, that, unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any waiver by SpinCo that is adverse in any material respect to Parent shall require the prior written consent of Parent.

-64-

Section 9.9 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that a Party may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with a sale or disposition of any assets or entities or lines of business of such Party or in connection with a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity; provided, however, that in each case, no such assignment shall release such Party from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights under this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns. Except as provided in Article VI with respect to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and members of their respective Groups and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as otherwise provided therein), the party or parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) of their rights under this Agreement or such other Transaction Document. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, may be inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties. Nothing in this section is intended to limit or waive the aggrieved Party’s ability to pursue any other remedy to which it is entitled.

Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT (INCLUDING ANY SCHEDULE OR EXHIBIT HERETO AND THERETO) OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF SUCH AGREEMENTS OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF SUCH AGREEMENTS. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 9.11. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.11 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

-65-

Section 9.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by electronic or .pdf transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of any signature page by facsimile, electronic or .pdf transmission shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page.

Section 9.14 Force Majeure. No Party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any other Transaction Document, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) notify the other Parties of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement or the applicable other Transaction Document as soon as feasible.

Section 9.15 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate simultaneously with the valid termination of the Merger Agreement prior to the Distribution. After the Distribution Time, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the Parties. In the event of such termination, this Agreement shall become void and no Party, or any of its officers and directors, shall have any liability to any Person by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.16 Public Announcements. From and after the Distribution Time, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system (in which case Parent or the Company, as applicable, will promptly notify the other of the plan to make such public statement and the Parties will use efforts reasonable under the circumstances to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued).
