2.11 Adjustment to Acquisition Consideration.

2.11.1 Buyer will calculate its cumulative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the first four and one-half (4.5) years after Closing (the “Applicable Cumulative EBITDA”). EBITDA will be calculated by Buyer on an accrual basis and shall be equal to the amount of net patient revenues for all AGA affiliated endoscopy centers (which shall equal gross revenues minus contractual adjustments, write-offs, refunds and uncollectible amounts) (“Net Revenues”) and less the aggregate of the following: (i) the cost of CRNAs and physician labor under staffing ratios based on AGA’s requirements for their endoscopy centers (provided, however, the cost of employing any physicians in addition to the number of physicians engaged by GAA as of the date hereof shall not be included in such calculation); (ii) anesthesia drugs and supplies (including carts) and personnel scrubs; (iii) a billing and collection expense equal to six percent (6%) of Buyer’s Net Revenues; (iv) insurance costs for professional liability insurance for Buyer and general commercial insurance for Buyer (and not including the cost of professional liability insurance for any CRNAs and/or physicians employed or contracted with Buyer in addition to the number of physicians employed by GAA

as of the date hereof); (v) bank fees charged to Buyer for operating bank accounts and merchant services (and not including any bank fees charged to Buyer in connection with any financing or otherwise); (vi) business license fees: (vii) printing expenses; (viii) payroll expenses; and (ix) legal and professional fees directly related to the business of Buyer; and (x) other similar or related expenses required by Buyer to provide anesthesia services pursuant to the PSA Contracts (as defined in the Other Acquisition Agreement), as mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. For purposes of determining the amount of payments to be made pursuant to this Section 2.11, EBITDA will not include any allocated overhead from CRH. To the extent that Buyer receives an indemnification payment under Section 6 hereof with respect to an expense that would otherwise be deducted from EBITDA for purposes of determining the payments to be made to the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.11, such amount shall not be taken into account in performing such EBTIDA calculation. Such calculation will be made within forty-five (45) days after the expiration of such first four and one-half (4.5) year period after the Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall provide the Seller with monthly calculations of EBITDA following the Closing with reasonable detail and with specificity regarding the basis for such calculation and, in the event the Applicable Cumulative EBITDA equals or exceeds $[REDACTED] prior to the end of the first four and one-half (4.5) years after Closing, the provisions of Sections 2.11.2 through 2.11.10 shall immediately apply. Buyer shall grant the Seller, the Owner, the Owner Member and their Representatives reasonable access to Buyer’s books and records for purposes reasonably related to the determination of the Applicable Cumulative EBITDA and the resulting payments, if any, due to the Seller hereunder.

2.11.2 Buyer shall provide the Seller with a copy of such calculation (the “EBITDA Adjustment Calculation”) within such forty-five (45) day period setting forth in reasonable detail regarding the basis for such calculation. Following the Seller’s receipt of such EBITDA Adjustment Calculation, if the Seller disputes the EBITDA Adjustment Calculation, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the EBITDA Adjustment Calculation (any dispute not so timely noticed shall be deemed waived), notify Buyer, in writing in reasonable detail and with specificity (the “EBITDA Dispute Notice”) of such dispute(s). Seller and Buyer shall attempt to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. In the event that Seller and Buyer fail to agree on any of the Seller’s proposed adjustments set forth in the EBITDA Dispute Notice within twenty (20) days after Buyer receives the EBITDA Dispute Notice, Seller and Buyer agree that Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.C. in Atlanta, Georgia (the “Accountants”) shall, within the 40-day period immediately following such failure to agree, make the final determination of the Applicable Cumulative EBITDA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller each shall provide the Accountants with their respective determinations of the Applicable Cumulative EBITDA. Such determination shall be made in writing, shall set forth the Applicable Cumulative EBITDA as determined by the Accountants and shall be final and binding on Seller and Buyer.

5. OTHER COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

5.1 Restrictive Covenants. As a material and valuable inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, pay and deliver the Acquisition Consideration and consummate the transaction provided for herein, and in order to protect the goodwill acquired by Buyer, the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member agree to the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1.

5.1.1 Non-Competition. Each of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member agrees that during the Restricted Period the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member will not, directly or indirectly, provide services similar to the management services being provided under the Management Contract to or for any Person who provides medical services in the Specialty to or for any ambulatory surgical center affiliated with a gastroenterology practice within the “Restricted Area” (being within thirty (30) miles of any health care facility or office at which GAA rendered services in the Specialty as of the Closing). Nor will the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member during the Restricted Period directly or indirectly consult, own, invest in, finance, or assist any physician or group of physicians to directly or indirectly own, acquire, operate any anesthesia medical practice providing anesthesia services to or for any ambulatory surgical center affiliated with a gastroenterology practice in the Restricted Area. The “Restricted Period” shall mean and include a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 5.1.1 shall prohibit the Seller, Owner and Owner Member from (a) performing management and billing services to those medical practices listed on Schedule 5.1.1, (b) owning those medical practices listed on Schedule 5.1.1 or (c) performing billing and collection services (as opposed to management services) within the Restricted Area. Each of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member agrees that they will not at any time, in any fashion, form or manner, unless specifically consented to in writing by Buyer, either directly or indirectly, use or divulge, disclose, or communicate to any person, firm or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of any kind, nature, or description, including that which is a part of the goodwill, concerning any matters affecting or relating to the Business, except as necessary to provide patient care and subject to applicable Law.

5.1.2 Non-Solicitation of Employees or Contractors. Each of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member will not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, as an individual or on behalf of a firm, corporation, partnership or other legal entity, solicit for employment or engagement or endeavor in any way to entice or lure away from employment or engagement with Buyer or its affiliates, or hire or offer to hire, or engage any individual who within the prior six (6) months is or was an employee, officer, director or agent of Buyer or its affiliates. This Section 5.1.2 shall not apply to the employment or engagement of [REDACTED].

5.1.3 Specific Performance. It is recognized and hereby acknowledged by the Parties hereto that a breach or violation by any of the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member or any of their affiliates of any or all of the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 5.1 would cause irreparable harm and damage to Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer in a monetary amount which may be virtually impossible to ascertain. As a result, each of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member recognizes and hereby acknowledges that Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer shall be entitled to (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision and (b) an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and restraining any breach or violation of any or all of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by any of the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member and/or their associates, affiliates, partners or agents, either directly or indirectly, (without the need to post bond), and that such rights shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other rights or remedies Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer

may possess hereunder, at law or in equity. THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS IN THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN NARROWLY TAILORED TO PROHIBIT THE SELLER, THE OWNER AND THE OWNER MEMBER FROM WORKING IN COMPETITION WITH BUYER WITHIN THE LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC AREA DESCRIBED ABOVE.

5.1.4 Tolling. The foregoing Restricted Period shall be tolled and extended for any period(s) of time during which any of the Owner, the Owner Member or the Seller are in breach of their obligations under this Section 5.1 and the enforcement of the covenants is being litigated or arbitrated, including any appeal or confirmation proceedings, provided that either the outcome of such litigation or arbitration is to enforce, in whole or in part, such covenants or the Owner Member, the Owner or the Seller in question voluntarily cease the breaching activity following the commencement of such enforcement filing.

5.1.5 Survival; Beneficiaries; Assistance. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and are expressly intended to benefit and be enforceable by Buyer and other affiliated entities of Buyer, which are made express third party beneficiaries hereof. In addition, none of the Owner, the Owner Member or the Seller may assist others in engaging in any of the foregoing restrictive activities.

5.1.6 Review. The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member has each carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 5.1, and having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1 (including the time period of the restrictions and the geographical areas of restrictions set forth herein) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any part of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.1 shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties hereto agree that such invalid or unenforceable provision(s) shall be construed in a manner that renders such provisions enforceable to the maximum extent possible and, if such construction is not possible, such invalid or unenforceable provision(s) may be severed from this Agreement without, in any manner, affecting the remaining portions hereof (all of which shall remain in full force and effect). In the event that any provision of this Section 5.1 related to time period or areas of restriction shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period, area or activities such court deems reasonable and enforceable, said time period or areas of restriction shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make the geographic or temporal restrictions or activities reasonable and enforceable.

5.1.7 Independence. All covenants in this Section 5.1 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Collateral Agreement or other transaction document, and the existence of any claim, cause of action or defense of any Owner, Owner Member or the Seller against Buyer or its affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to enforcement by Buyer or any of its affiliates of such covenants.

5.2 Post-Closing Access for Records Review. With respect to post-Closing access, the Parties agree as follows:

5.2.1 Post-Closing Access to the Owner and Seller. In addition to the right of access pursuant to Section 2.11.1, until the date which is seven (7) years following the Closing Date, Buyer will give the Seller and the Owner access to (and the right to make copies thereof at such Owner’s or Seller’s own expense) the books, files and records of Buyer solely to the extent they relate to the events arising on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Business. Any review or access permitted to the Owner and the Seller under this Section shall be conducted by the Owner or Seller in good faith, with a reasonable purpose and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of Buyer following the Closing.

5.2.2 Post-Closing Access to Buyer. Until the date which is seven (7) years following the Closing Date, the Owner, the Owner Member and the Seller will give to Buyer free and unrestricted access to (and the right to make copies thereof at Buyer’s own expense) the books, files, records and tax returns of the Seller and the Owner as to events arising prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Business (and shall cause IPS to give Buyer access to the books and records of IPS related to GAA); provided, however, nothing in this Section shall require the Seller, the Owner or the Owner to disclose or grant Buyer access to any information protected by the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine. Each of the Owner, the Owner Member and the Seller covenant and agree that they will not destroy or dispose of such books, files, records or tax returns prior to the date which is seven (7) years following the Closing Date. Following expiration of such seven (7) year period, the Owner, the Owner Member and the Seller will provide Buyer with sixty (60) days advance notice of their intent to destroy or dispose of such materials, and during said sixty (60) day period, Buyer will have the right to take possession of said materials at its sole expense. Any review or access permitted to Buyer under this Section shall be conducted by Buyer in good faith, with a reasonable purpose and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Owner and the Seller following the Closing.

5.3 Assumed Obligations. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall obtain all consents, if any, required for the effective and valid assignment of the Assumed Obligations hereunder and shall take any other action necessary to facilitate the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Obligations. On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall have paid all amounts owed by the Seller as of the Closing Date under the terms of the Assumed Obligations and otherwise cured any and all defaults thereunder.

5.4 Tax Matters. In connection with Tax matters, the Parties agree as follows:

5.4.1 All Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between the Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the period through and including the Closing Date and the number of days of such taxable period included in the period commencing on the day after the Closing Date, respectively, with the Seller being liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the period through the Closing Date, and Buyer being liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the period after the Closing. Within a reasonable period after the Closing, the Seller and Buyer shall present a statement to the other setting forth

the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.5.2, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the Party owing it to the other within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement. Any payment required under this Section 5.5.2 and not made within ten (10) days after delivery of the statement shall bear interest at the rate per annum determined from time to time under the provisions of Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code for each day until paid.

5.5 Employee Benefit Matters.

Without limiting Section 2.2.2, the Seller shall be responsible for all employee and Independent Contractor wages, benefits (including payments for accrued vacation or sick pay, unemployment compensation, employment taxes, health claims or similar payments), severance pay obligations, any liability and responsibility for fulfilling all federal and/or state COBRA and continuation of coverage requirements with respect to the Seller’s current and/or former employees and all other employee-related costs arising as a result of any events, acts (or failures to act) prior to Closing and as a result of any terminations contemplated hereby, whether or not disclosed on the Disclosure Schedules. In the event that Buyer incurs any liability or cost in respect of its obligation for fulfilling any federal and/or state COBRA and continuation of coverage requirements with respect to the Seller’s current or former employees (other than employees, if any, who continue employment with Buyer immediately following the Closing), the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member shall reimburse Buyer for such liability or cost.

5.6 Certain Matters Pending Closing.

5.6.1 Buyer and its authorized agents, officers and representatives shall have reasonable access to the Seller and the Purchased Assets to conduct such examination and investigation of the Business and the Purchased Assets as they deem reasonably necessary, provided that such examinations shall be during normal business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with the Seller’s normal business operations and activities. The Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller’s Representatives to (a) afford Buyer and its representatives access to properties, books, records, accounts and documents, (b) as reasonably requested by Buyer, furnish Buyer and its Representatives with copies of such properties, books, records, accounts and documents, (c) furnish Buyer and its Representatives with such additional financial, operating, and other data and information, all of or relating to the Business and its operations and Purchased Assets and all as Buyer may reasonably request and (d) afford Buyer and its Representatives access to IPS’s properties, books, records, accounts and documents and employees, in each case with respect to services provided on behalf of GAA; provided, however, nothing in this Section shall require the Seller, the Owner or the Owner to disclose or grant Buyer access to any information protected by the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine.

5.6.2 Buyer and the Seller will cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with giving notices to any governmental body, or securing the permission, approval, determination, consent or waiver of any governmental body, required by Law in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets from Seller to Buyer.

5.7 Exclusivity. The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member agree and covenant that until Closing or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, none of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member nor anyone acting on behalf of the Seller or the Owner and the Owner Member, shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or initiate discussions concerning, or enter into negotiation with or furnish information that is not publicly available to, any Person concerning any proposal for a merger, sale of assets, sale of membership interests or other takeover or business combination transaction involving the Business or the Purchased Assets (a “Competing Sale”) and will notify Buyer immediately in writing if the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member receives a written proposal with respect to any of the foregoing transactions. The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member represent that none of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member is a party to, or bound by, any agreement with respect to such a Competing Sale.

5.8 Collection of Accounts Receivable. From and after the Closing, Seller shall pursuant to the Management Contract (subject to that certain Termination Agreement dated as of even date herewith pursuant to which such foregoing Management Contract is being terminated) and Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause IPS, pursuant to the IPS Contract (subject to that certain Termination Agreement dated as of November 30, 2014 pursuant to which the foregoing IPS Contract is being terminated), to xxxx for services provided by Seller to GAA prior to the Closing Date and to collect, in the ordinary course, the Accounts Receivable of Seller (determined pursuant to the Management Contract) attributable solely to services provided by Seller to GAA, pursuant to the Management Contract, prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Seller Accounts Receivable”). Buyer shall have no obligation to file collection actions or lawsuits with respect to any such Pre-Closing Seller Accounts Receivable attributable to services provided by Seller to GAA prior to the Closing Date (or with respect to any “Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable” being accounts receivable attributable to services provided by GAA prior to the Closing Date); nor shall Buyer have any liability to Seller or Seller Owner for any failure by IPS to timely xxxx for services provided by

GAA prior to the Closing Date or to collect any such Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable attributable to services provided by GAA prior to the Closing Date. This Section shall not apply with respect to any billing for services provided by Buyer on or after the Closing Date or any accounts receivable attributable to services provided by Buyer on or after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing GAA Accounts Receivable”).

5.8.1 Buyer shall pay to Seller, solely from Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable collections, by the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, with respect to the immediately preceding calendar month (which calendar month begins after the Closing Date), an amount equal to the positive difference (if any) between (a) the aggregate of the Pre-Closing GAA Accounts Receivable collected under the Management Contract (subject to such applicable Termination Agreement) during such immediately preceding calendar month (net of the billing and collection expense equal to six percent (6%) of Buyer’s net revenues attributable to such Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable in accordance with the IPS Contract, subject to such applicable Termination Agreement, minus (b) the sum of (i) all of the amounts, if any, paid by GAA or Buyer on or after the Closing attributable to GAA’s obligations with respect to trade and accounts payable and other operating expenses incurred or accrued for all periods on or prior to the Closing Date (including compensation payable to physicians and CRNAs employed or engaged by GAA and all billing and collection and management fees payable to Seller), plus (ii) Buyer’s operating expenses after the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the cost of CRNAs, physician labor, anesthesia drugs and supplies, any billing and collection expense and management fee (without double counting of such amounts deducted in subsection (a)), insurance, bank fees, Taxes and other expenses required by GAA to provide anesthesia services pursuant to the PSA Contracts) for the applicable calendar months (such amounts in subsection (b)(ii), collectively, the “Advanced Expenses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reduction described in subsection (b)(ii) shall not apply after the first two calendar months after the Closing Date and nothing in subsection (b)(ii) shall be construed to mean that such expenses are the responsibility of Buyer nor affect any indemnification rights Buyer may have under Section 6. An example of the intended application of this Section 5.8.1 in conjunction with the application of Section 5.9 of the Other Acquisition Agreement, relating to the collection of GAA’s Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable) is set forth in the Accounts Receivable Worksheet attached hereto as Exhibit F. For avoidance of doubt, in no event will GAA or Buyer owe any amounts to Seller under this Section 5.8 (or the Seller under the Other Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section 5.9 thereof) other than from collections of any Accounts Receivable attributable to services provided by GAA before the Closing Date.

5.8.2 Beginning on March 10, 2015, Buyer shall begin to repay to Seller the Advanced Expenses (such payments to be made by the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, with respect to the immediately preceding calendar month). The first payment hereunder will be due by March 10, 2015 and the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month thereafter until the Advanced Expenses are repaid to Seller in full; provided, however, all accrued and unpaid Advanced Expenses shall be immediately due and payable in full on or before June 10, 2015. The amount payable each month by Buyer with respect to the Advanced Expenses will equal the product of (a) twenty-five percent (25%) multiplied by (b) the positive difference, if any, between (i) the aggregate of the Post-Closing Accounts Receivable payable to Buyer during such immediately preceding calendar month (net of the billing and collection expense equal to six

percent (6%) of GAA’s net revenues and management fee equal to four percent (4%) of the Buyer’s net revenues attributable to such Post-Closing Accounts Receivable, in each case attributable to such Post-Closing Accounts Receivable under the IPS Billing and Management Agreement as defined in the Other Acquisition Agreement), minus (b) all of the amounts paid by Buyer on or after the Closing attributable to Buyer’s obligations with respect to trade and accounts payable and all other operating expenses (of a nature described above in Section 5.8.1) incurred or accrued for all periods on or after the Closing Date, and other liabilities arising from Seller’s conduct of business for all periods on or before the Closing Date.

5.8.3 Each monthly payment shall include a breakdown showing, in reasonable detail, the determination of the amount payable such month by the Buyer to the Seller.

6. INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Tax Indemnity.

or arising following Closing, with respect to the operation of the Business, and/or ownership of the Purchased Assets by Buyer, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement, (iii) the failure of Buyer or CRH to comply with any covenants or other commitments made by them in this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement, or (iv) the Purchased Assets or Assumed Obligations.

6.4 Procedure for Indemnity. For purposes of this Section 6, a Party making a claim for indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the Party against whom such claim is asserted is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

6.4.1 If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party, including any taxing Authority, said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand stating with reasonable specificity the circumstances of the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

6.4.2 After receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, at its cost and expense, defend, manage and conduct any proceedings, negotiations or communications involving any claimant whose claim is the subject of the Indemnified Party’s notice to the Indemnifying Party as set forth above, and shall take all actions necessary, including but not limited to the retention of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the posting of such bond or other security as may be required by any Authority, so as to enable the claim to be defended against or resolved without expense or other action by the Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement fully releases the Indemnified Party from all liabilities subject to such dispute and does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to initiate a defense of such claim within ten (10) days of the date of the notice to the Indemnifying Party using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, or in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party (i) the Indemnifying Party is not adequately defending such claim, or (ii) any applicable insurance coverage is at risk of denial or may be impaired by reason of such defense by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party, after five (5) days written notice to the Indemnifying Party, may retain counsel and conduct the defense of such claim as it may in its discretion deem proper, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Upon request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent it is compensated in advance for any expenses thereby incurred:

6.4.2.1 take such action as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such action,

6.4.2.2 allow the Indemnifying Party to dispute such action in the name of the Indemnified Party and to conduct a defense to such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and

6.4.2.3 render to the Indemnifying Party all such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such dispute and defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay any out-of-pocket costs the Indemnified Party incurs in connection with taking such actions.

6.4.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to take any action or assert any claim that it reasonably believes would be materially adverse to its reputation or that would threaten or restrict its ability to conduct business in the future. The Parties agree there is no intent for any insurance coverage of any of the Parties or the Representatives to be adversely impacted or superseded by the contractual indemnity claims set forth in this Agreement.

6.4.4 If the Indemnified Party is requested or required to pay any Taxes, and xxx for a refund, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the Indemnified Party, on an interest free basis, the amount of such claim. If, after actual receipt by the Indemnified Party of an amount advanced by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 6.3.4, the extent of the liability of the Indemnified Party with respect to the indemnified matter shall be established by the final judgment or decree of a court or a final or binding settlement with an administrative agency having jurisdiction thereof, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party any refund received by or credited to the Indemnified Party with respect to the indemnified matter (together with any interest paid or credited thereon by the taxing Authority or any recovery of legal fees from such taxing Authority). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not be required to make any payment hereunder before such time as the Indemnifying Parties shall have made all payments or indemnities then due with respect to Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 6.

6.5 Limitation on Liability.

6.5.1 The representations, warranties and agreements of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member and Buyer set forth in this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing, subject to the limitation periods set forth in Section 6.5.2, as applicable. Such representations, warranties and agreements shall not be affected or diminished in any way by the knowledge of a Party or any investigation (or the failure to investigate) at any time by or on behalf of the Party for whose benefit such representations, warranties or agreements were made.

6.5.2 Other than as provided in this Section 6.5.2, or as specifically provided in any representation, warranty or agreement, all representations and warranties of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall expire, terminate and be of no force and effect (or provide the basis for any claim) and no Party shall have any obligation to indemnify therefor unless written notice of any claim resulting from any breach thereof is received prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that, with respect to the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member, (a) with respect to claims resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1.11 and/or of the obligations contained in Section 5.5 and claims for indemnity for Taxes pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 6.1 (each, a “Tax Claim”), the time period for written notice of any such Tax Claim shall extend until ninety (90) days following the expiration

of the statutory period during which any taxing Authority may bring a claim against the Seller, Buyer or any of its affiliates for Taxes which are the subject of any such Tax Claim or, such longer statutory period if requested by the taxing Authority, (b) with respect to claims against the Seller or the Owner arising out of services provided prior to the Closing Date, the time period for written notice of any such claim shall extend until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (c) with respect to (i) any claim of fraud against the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member, (ii) any claim of fraud or other violation against the Seller or the Owner that relates to state or federal government payor programs, including but not limited to Medicare or Medicaid, or (iii) a claim relating to a breach of any representation or warranty in Sections 3.1.2, 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, 3.1.8, 3.1.16, 3.1.17, 3.1.20, 3.1.23 and 3.1.27 (each a “Fundamental Representation”), or (iv) a claim resulting from a breach of any covenant for indemnity pursuant to Section 6.2, no such time limitation shall be applicable.

6.5.3 Except as set forth below, Buyer and its Representatives shall have no claim for indemnification hereunder unless and until the total amount of all Claims of Buyer and its Representatives incurred under this Agreement or under the Other Acquisition Agreement which would otherwise be subject to indemnification hereunder or thereunder exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Basket Amount”); at which time Buyer and its Representatives shall be entitled to recover the amount of all Claims hereunder including the Basket Amount. The limitations on liability in this Section 6.5.3 shall not apply to (i) any claim of fraud against the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member by Buyer or its Representatives, (ii) any claim arising from an intentional misrepresentation by the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member, (iii) any claim of fraud or other violation against the Seller that relates to state or federal government payor programs, including but not limited to Medicare and Medicaid, (iv) any lawsuits or actions pending as of the Closing Date, (v) any other lawsuits, actions or claims relating to events prior to the Closing Date whether presently known or unknown, (vi) any Tax Claim, (vii) any claim relating to a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1.2, 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, 3.1.8 and 3.1.23, or (viii) any claim relating to a breach of the covenants in Section 5.5. Furthermore, the Basket Amount also shall not apply to any obligations with respect to trade payables and other operating expenses incurred or accrued for the period prior to the Closing or any other Excluded Liabilities or with respect to any matters addressed in the Xxxxxx Release.

6.5.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member pursuant to this Section 6 exceed the sum of (i) the amount of the Acquisition Consideration paid by Buyer hereunder and (ii) the amount of the Acquisition Consideration paid by the buyer under the Other Acquisition Agreement.

6.6 Nature of Payments. Any indemnity payments made under this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the total consideration paid for the Purchased Assets under this Agreement to the extent such characterization is proper or permissible according to relevant taxing Authorities. In the event of such an adjustment to the consideration paid for the Purchased Asset, the parties shall prepare and file a supplemental asset acquisition statement on IRS Form 8594 in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent Buyer has asserted

indemnification claims hereunder or under the Other Acquisition Agreement that have not been satisfied or resolved (“Open Claims”) at the time that Buyer is obligated to pay any EBITDA Payment Amount hereunder, Buyer may offset the amount of such Open Claims against the EBTIDA Payment Amount.

6.7 Adjustments for Insurance. Any payment made by the Indemnifying Party to the Buyer or its Representative pursuant to this Section 6 shall be reduced by an amount equal to any insurance payments with respect to such Claim actually received by or for the benefit of the such Indemnified Party, provided that time for payment of any indemnification claim hereunder shall not be delayed by the recovery of any such insurance proceeds.

6.8 Indemnification Provisions Survive Closing. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing.

6.9 CRH Guaranty. CRH hereby agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for Buyer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.

7. TERMINATION

7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date, as follows:

7.1.1 by mutual written agreement of the Seller and Buyer; or

7.1.2 by Buyer if any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 of this Agreement shall not have been fulfilled by the Closing Date; or

7.1.3 by the Seller if any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 of this Agreement shall not have been fulfilled by the Closing Date; or

7.1.4 by Buyer or the Seller for any reason or no reason if the Closing has not occurred on or before December 31, 2014, and the terminating party is not then in breach of this Agreement; or

7.1.5 by Buyer, if Buyer is not then in material breach of this Agreement and the Seller is then in material breach of this Agreement, and such breach remains uncured for ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer;

7.1.6 by the Seller, if the Seller is not then in material breach of this Agreement and Buyer is then in material breach of this Agreement, and such breach remains uncured for ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Seller; or

7.1.7 by Buyer or the Seller for any reason or no reason if the Other Acquisition Agreement is terminated and the terminating party is not then in breach of such agreement.

7.2 Rights on Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 above, then except as otherwise provided herein, all further obligations of the Parties under or

pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately terminate without further liability of any party to the others unless the termination is as a result of a material breach hereof (or in the event the termination itself is a material breach of this Agreement), in which case the terminating (non- breaching) party shall be entitled to pursue all legal and equitable claims against the breaching party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to pursue specific performance against the Seller if all conditions precedent to the Seller’s obligation to close have been satisfied or waived and Buyer is not then in breach of this Agreement and the Seller thereafter fails to close (the Seller hereby acknowledging that Buyer has no adequate remedy at law in such instance). Without limiting the foregoing, and without duplication, in the event that this Agreement is terminated (a) by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.1.3 or Section 7.1.6; or (b) by either Buyer or the Seller pursuant to Section 7.1.4 or Section 7.1.7, Buyer shall immediately pay to the Seller the sum of $[REDACTED] by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1 Confidential Information. In connection with entering into this Agreement, the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member are fully aware of all terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement and in connection with their performance of their respective obligations hereunder, the Seller and/or the Owner may become aware of or come into possession of confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information, whether disclosed, directly or indirectly, verbally, in writing or by any other means in tangible or intangible form, applicable to or in any way related to: (i) patients with whom Buyer or its affiliates has a physician/patient relationship; (ii) the present or future business of Buyer and its affiliates; or (iii) the research and development of Buyer and its affiliates (“Confidential Information”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Confidential Information shall include: (a) the development and operation of Buyer’s and its affiliates’ programs to provide services within their businesses, including information relating to budgeting, staffing needs, marketing, research, hospital relationships, surgery center relationships, physician office relationships, equipment capabilities, and other information concerning such facilities and operations and specifically including the procedures and business plans developed by Buyer and its affiliates; (b) contractual arrangements between Buyer or its affiliates and insurers or managed care associations or other payors; (c) the databases of Buyer and its affiliates; (d) the clinical and research protocols of Buyer and its affiliates, including coding guidelines; (e) the referral sources of Buyer and its affiliates; (f) other confidential information of Buyer and its affiliates that is not generally known to the public that gives Buyer and its affiliates the opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it, including the names, addresses, telephone numbers or special needs of any of their patients, their patient lists, their marketing methods and related data, lists or other written records used in Buyer’s or its affiliates’ business, compensation paid to employees and other terms of employment, accounting ledgers and financial statements, contracts and licenses, business systems, business plans and projections, and computer programs. The Parties agree that, as between them, the Confidential Information constitutes important, material, and confidential trade secrets that affect the successful conduct of Buyer’s and its affiliates’ business and their goodwill. Buyer acknowledges that the Confidential Information specifically enumerated above, but subject to the exclusions below, is special and unique information and is not information that would be considered a part of the general knowledge and skill that the Seller has or might otherwise obtain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any

information that (i) was known by the Seller from a third party source before disclosure by or on behalf of Buyer, (ii) becomes available to the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member from a source other than Buyer that is not bound by a duty of confidentiality to Buyer, or (iii) becomes generally available or known in the industry other than as a result of its disclosure by any of the Seller, Owner or Owner Member. From and after the Closing, Confidential Information shall include each of the foregoing types of information that relate to the Business or the Purchased Assets.

8.1.1 The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Section 8. The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member shall keep the terms of this Agreement strictly confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose the details of this Agreement to any third party in any manner whatsoever in whole or in part, with the exception of the Seller’s or the Owner’s Representatives (such as tax advisors and attorneys) who need to know such information.

8.2 Maintenance of Confidentiality by the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member. The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member jointly and severally acknowledge that (i) Buyer and its affiliates possess and will continue to possess Confidential Information as defined in this Agreement, (ii) Buyer and its affiliates will disclose such Confidential Information to the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) such Confidential Information is of substantial value to Buyer and its affiliates and gives Buyer and its affiliates an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it. The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member jointly and severally agree that none of the Seller, the Owner nor the Owner Member will, at any time, in any fashion, form or manner, unless specifically consented to in writing by Buyer, either directly or indirectly, use (except for the benefit of the Business of Buyer and its affiliates after the Closing) or divulge, disclose, or communicate to any person, firm or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, any Confidential Information of any kind, nature, or description concerning any matters affecting or relating to the business of Buyer or its affiliates, except as reasonably necessary to provide patient care, subject to applicable law. The Parties agree that any breach or threatened breach by the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member of any term of this Section 8 is a material breach of this Agreement. Buyer shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief in order to prevent or restrain any such breach or threatened breach by the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member, or any of the Seller’s, the Owner’s or the Owner Member’s partners, agents, representatives, servants, independent contractors, or any and all persons or entities directly or indirectly acting for or with the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member. The rights and remedies of Buyer under this Section 8 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights, remedies or damages available to it at law or equity or under any other agreement between Buyer or its affiliates on the one hand, and the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member on the other. In the event that the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member is ordered to disclose any Confidential Information, whether in a legal or a regulatory proceeding or otherwise, such Seller, Owner or Owner Member shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such request or order so that Buyer may seek to prevent disclosure or, if that cannot be achieved, the entry of a protective order or other appropriate protective device or procedure in order to assure, to the extent practicable, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the case of any such

required disclosure, the Seller, Owner and Owner Member shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that any such party is ordered to disclose.

8.3 Provisions Survive Closing. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing.
