At the request of any party hereto, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute the original form of this Agreement and deliver such form to all other parties. No party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

9. Full Force and Effect.

Annex A

 

1. In connection with Section 6.01(a) of the Purchase Agreement and the terms of this Annex A, Buyer hereby consents to that certain Power of Attorney (“Power of Attorney”), to be entered into on or prior to the New Closing Date, between Company Subsidiary and GE Medical Systems Information Technologies, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Transferee”), pursuant to which Company Subsidiary appoints Transferee as its attorney-in-fact in connection with the transfer of Company Subsidiary’s ownership interest in Clarient Diagnostic Services Limited, a Saudi Arabian limited liability company (“Clarient Saudi Arabia”), that certain Lab Services Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2013, by and between Company Subsidiary and Saudi Arabian National Guard Health Affairs, as well as any and all other agreements, instruments, rights or obligations of or related to Clarient Saudi Arabia (the “Saudi Items”), to Transferee prior to Closing. Such transfer of the Saudi Items from Company Subsidiary to Transferee shall be referred to herein as the “Saudi Transfer.” The Parties hereby agree that such Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect from and after the Closing.

 

2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in addition to, and in no way limiting the terms of the Power of Attorney, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the management and operation of the Saudi Transfer and the Saudi Items in connection with the continued operation of the applicable portion of such business shall in all respects be by and at the direction of Transferee and shall be managed and operated by Transferee for Transferee’s benefit and account, with Transferee treated as the beneficial owner thereof and with all gains, income, Losses, Taxes and Tax benefits or other items generated thereby to be for Transferee’s account.

 

3. For purposes of the Saudi Transfer, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates will, or will cause and direct their Affiliates to, take or omit to take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the Saudi Transfer. Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to complete the Saudi Transfer as soon as reasonably practicable and to keep Buyer reasonably informed with respect to the status, timing and material developments with respect to the Saudi Transfer.

 

4. From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses that are suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to the Saudi Transfer and the Saudi Items. To the extent that any Party disagrees with the validity or amount of all or a portion of any indemnification claim with respect thereto, the provisions of Section 12.05 of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to the procedures of such indemnification claim, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth herein.

 

5. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, to the extent any representation, warranty, covenant or other statement in the Purchase Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or any other Transaction Agreement is inaccurate as a result of giving effect (or pursuant) to matters covered in this Annex A or the Saudi Transfer not being complete as of the Closing, such representation, warranty, covenant or other statement shall be deemed to be revised and amended as needed to reflect the actions contemplated by this Annex A, including for purposes of Article XII of the Purchase Agreement.
